[As the ninja, Wu, Misako, and Dr. Julian arrive in Ninjago City, they see the Garmatron has been transformed into a fortress of a large tower and everyone corrupted with dark matter as they land on the ground]
He's turned everyone evil.
And now they're helping his cause. I can't wait to see the look on the Overlord's face when he gets a load of us.
[The ninja then hear a roaring sound and look up at the top of Garmatron]
[shocked] Oh, my goodness! [The Overlord, now fully transformed in his original form, blasts some dark matter towards their direction] Oh, sweet mother may I.
Is that the look you were hoping for?
The Metamorphosis is complete. The Overlord's changed into his original form.
But we can't fly up there.
WWu
We have my father's Golden mech. We have to draw their fire to help Lloyd use the mech against the Overlord.
[confronting the Overlord] I have come here to fight you!
You're in no shape to fight. It's over. Evil wins.
[laughs] You don't even have a sword.
[surrounds himself with his Energy, creating a force field] I don't need a sword.
Then all I have to say is... goodbye.
[The Overlord opens his mouth and blasts Lloyd with Darkness, nearly pushing him off the building. Lloyd's Energy force field grows, turning him into the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master]
He has become the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master.
WWu
This is the Final Battle.
[now wearing gold] I am the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master!
[as Lloyd flies down on his Golden Dragon] You were brilliant, son.
WWu
Because of you, Ninjago was saved. Because of you, there will be a tomorrow.
Speaking of which, if the Overlord should ever decide to show his face again around here, we'll be ready.
And next time, we'll be a little more humble.
And with better catchphrases.
[Everyone, but Lloyd, all laugh]
[comforting Lloyd as he frowns] We will all miss your father.
[emerging from a pile of rocks and approaches them, limping and fully purified] Lloyd. What... what happened?
Garmadon, is it really you?
Dad? [joyfully] Oh, Dad! [runs and embraces him]
Every ounce of evil and venom is… gone.
I feel good. Aha! It's been so long.
WWu
Good to have you back, brother.
Aw, would you look at that? Who would have thought we'd ever see the day? You think we should dogpile them?
Let's give them their moment. They earned it.
It's been quite a ride, fellas.
You think there will be others?
I hope so. I liked being a ninja. It's not like we have many other skills.
Ha, speak for yourself, I'm looking forward to doing a little inventing, maybe some model-building, dabble in poetry…
Jay's right. We've come a long way and there's no reason why we can't use what we've learned in our everyday lives. And who knows? We may have gotten the balance right today, but there's always tomorrow. There's no way of knowing what's around the corner. But as long as there's something worth fighting for, there's always a need for a ninja. And we'll be ready.
JHJay/Happy
All right! Who took my pudding cup? My name was clearly written on it.
CRCole/Roly
[eating Jay's pudding cup] I didn't see "Motor Mouth" on it. [throws the cup in the trash]
JHJay/Happy
I'm telling the headmaster.
WDWu/Duggee
Leave me out of it. I'm on break, too.
KTKai/Tag
Relax, Jay, you can have mine. [gives Jay his pudding cup]
JHJay/Happy
But this isn't cold. [Zane flips a switch in his arm and freezes the pudding cup] Oh, give me. [eats the pudding] Mm.
PIP.I.X.A.L./Seymour Skinner
I'm reading Zane's signal aboard that rocket ship, along with four other lifeforms.
WDWu/Duggee
Oh, by the grace of the First Spinjitzu Master.
GHGarmadon/Homer
You wanted them to take risks. To see how far they'd go. Is this what you had in mind? How far? How far must they go?
WDWu/Duggee
[looks up at the rocket launching into space; hopefully] Come back safe to us, ninja. Come back safe.
LBLloyd/Bart
He's not letting go!
JHJay/Happy
His heart! It's reaching critical mass!
CRCole/Roly
If his heart overloads, he'll blow! He'll never survive!
KTKai/Tag
Let go of him, Zane! What is he doing?!
WDWu/Duggee
He's protecting us!
ZBZane/Betty
I am a Nindroid, and ninja never quit. Go, ninja. GO! [blasts his ice powers on the Overlord]
OTOverlord/Tucker Halpern
What are you doing?! LET ME GO, YOU FOOL!
JHJay/Happy
No, Zane! NO!
WDWu/Duggee
We have to get out of here, now!
[At the Samurai X Cave, Nya is rebuilding the Destiny's Bounty]
Sure, Jay's cute and funny, and I'm always laughing around him, but everything's about him, and he never takes me seriously. More light, please.
WWu
[wakes up from sleep and turns the flashlight on] Right. He never takes you seriously.
Then there's Cole. He's handsome, and I suppose I connect with him on a deeper level, but everything's so serious with him, you know what I mean? Socket wrench.
WWu
[gives Nya needle-nose pliers] Young emotions are...complicated.
Sensei, these are needle-nose pliers. I asked for a socket wrench. And could you at least try to impart some wisdom?
WWu
No way. I'm not sticking my finger into that beehive.
Thank you for looking after my Misako.
WWu
As any good brother should.
There isn't much time. Our friends are on standby but we don't know where Chen will strike first.
And if we're not all there to stop him when he first attacks...
Ninjago will succumb to war. Our greatest fear will come true.
WWu
Then the greatest victory will be that which has no battle.
To the Anacondrai, the greatest warriors of their time.
Yeah. Now it's our turn to make our ancestors proud.
Because we're proud of those who were here before us to show us the way. Goodbye, Father.
WWu
His loss will affect us all.
Not his loss, his life. He made us stronger, and he brought us together.
I am Lloyd Garmadon, son of Lord Garmadon.
WWu
Student of Sensei Garmadon.
He made me who I am today. He was my father. He was my adversary. But in the end, he was my friend.
Because of him, we will live to see tomorrow.
And for every tomorrow, we'll live to honor him.
[Lloyd throws the book in the fire]
And because of him, we'll be ready for whatever comes next.
Skeletons, Snakes, Nindroids, and Anacondrai wannabes. If they can't stop us, what can?
That's for tomorrow to decide. Today, we say goodbye to a legend.
WWu
I need ink and parchment to make an imprint to see what's on the staff.
Kai and I will take you to our quarters, while Jay and Cole will keep him busy.
Oh, that's honorable of you to nominate us.
Yeah, we didn't fare so hot last time. Why is it that you get off with the easy task?
Because I'm the intelligent one.
[Wu, Misako, and Nya arrive back at Steep Wisdom]
Who needs to go on an epic quest when my services are best needed here?
[whispers to Wu] You need to tell her.
And you waited this long to tell them about Morro, and how did that go? [to Nya] Nya, dear, we didn't exactly hold you back to care for the shop.
WWu
[sighs] Um, there's something I haven't told you about your parents.
Ah, you can save it. Kai already told me that Chen dangled that carrot too. We looked into it and we know our father used to be a Master of Fire. Not exactly mind-shattering.
But did you know your mother was the Master of Water?
I...I didn't know that. You mean—
WWu
Yes. As Kai took on the traits of your father to become a Fire Ninja, for the sake of saving Ninjago, you must train to become the Master of Water.
[Nya faints]
Huh, you're right. She wasn't ready.
We're almost to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master.
Yeah, can't believe we're almost there after all we've been through.
I can't believe I'm underwater.
You? What about me? Just how thick is this glass?
WWu
[on screen] We're heading to your location now. With Morro already ahead of you and able to foresee the traps protecting the tomb with the Sword of Sanctuary, it's going to be up to you four to find the Realm Crystal before he does.
Hehe, Cole's a Ghost, Kai can't swim, we have no magical sword or Elemental Powers. [laughs nervously] What could go wrong?
Shouldn't we be going to Stiix? The longer we wait, the worse it'll get.
On what? Magic tea that will make us invincible? Give us special powers? Is it gonna give us four arms?
WWu
Sadly, no magical tea today. I had to sell the rest of the merchandise along with everything else.
What? You sold your business? But that was for your retirement.
[Cyrus Borg arrives]
WWu
While we were away, I had Borg use the money from the tea farm to create us some new toys to balance the scales. They are expensive, you know.
It's been so long, I hardly recognize any of you. Lloyd looks older. I see a Water Ninja. A titanium Nindroid. Cole is a...a ghost? Huh. Jay looks shorter. And then there's Kai.
Hey, what do you mean I look shorter?
