Fred: And now a Ninjago News special report. Arcade Apocalypse!Prime empire . It's not just a video game craze sweeping the city, but something far more sinister. We're receiving reports that players who reach the 13th level are mysteriously vanishing! Where are these missing players? Who's taking them? And more importantly... will I win a Peabody Award for this hard-hitting report? Stay tuned!

Noble: Welcome back, Mechanic? (Chuckles.) We kept your usual cell for you.

The Mechanic: Shh! You feel it? Change is in the air tonight.

Noble: That's just a draft.

The Mechanic: Soon, I'll be on top, again.

Noble: (Chuckles.) Oh, yeah. Top bunk, if you're lucky. (The lights immediately flash out. All of the screens from the security cameras connected to the computer white out.)

Kryptarium Prison Officer #1: Huh? What?

Noble: There's something wrong with the security system. (He runs off and the microphone is taken over.)

Unagami: Unagami requires your assistance. Will you serve Unagami?

The Mechanic: Yes! I'll be more careful this time. I won't let you down.

Unagami: If you fail Unagami a second time, it will be game over. (He opens all the cell doors.)

Kryptarium Prison Officer #2: Oh, no, let's get out of here! (The prisoners race out of their cells and chase away the officers.)

Soto: Ha-ha! We be free at last!

The Mechanic: Captain Soto! Ultra Violet! Circe! All of you! Come with me. Work for Unagami and you will be rewarded handsomely.

Fugi-Dove: (Gasp.) All of us?

The Mechanic: Uh, not you, Fugi-Dove. (Fugi-Dove sinks back into the crowd sadly.)

Echo: I really hope borg's figured out what's going on with that game we found in the Mechanic's hideout . (They take the elevator.)

Elevator Voice: Welcome to floor 100.

Cyrus Borg: Ah, ninja. Your little game has kept me quite busy.

Zane: What have you discovered?

Cyrus Borg: A new appreciation for the designer, Milton dyer.

Kai: He designed a pretty killer security system on dyer island, too.

Cyrus Borg: Wh-wh- More-More impressive than mine?

Kai: Do you have robot dogd? Because he had robot dogs.

Cyrus Borg: Yeah, well, ahem. I've run diagnostics on the cabinet and this game is far more complex than anything I've ever seen. Even more than my ill-fated . (He presses a key.) It's a virtual world, made up of zones inside the game.

Nya: So Jay's in one of those zones?

Cyrus Borg: Not just Jay. The game's play account has exploded. (Nya gasps.) Over 800 players are now trapped inside the game.

Kai: All the people who reach level 13 and disappeared into the cabinet!

Cyrus Borg: (The game zones show red on the screen and Borg pulls out a familiar signature.) The world inside, Prime Empire is controlled by Unagami.
