(In Bord Tower P.I.X.A.L. extracts Golden Power Lloyd used on a Security Mech.)

P.I.X.A.L.: Initializing power transference. Extracting Golden Power. Standby for physical somatic download.

Overlord: Yes. Yes! (The transference stops.) It's not enough! I need more of the boy's power if I'm ever to be freed of this digital prison! I'm fed up with pathetic mortal bodies. I want my own back. Find me more power! Find me the Golden Ninja!

P.I.X.A.L.: By my computation, your primary duty should be finding the Technoblades. They are the only things that can—

Overlord: Those Ninja don't even know what they already possess. I want the Golden one. And the Magic one...

P.I.X.A.L.: Elenora, Master of Magic. (Pulls up Elenora's folder.) Ninjago City files have no visible attributes of her. If I may ask, why do you need her? The Golden Ninja should be your-

Overlord: I know who I need if I am ever to bring a new dawn to this Realm! And I do not need your insolence. You know the plan, stick to it. So, I ask you again, where are the Ninja?

Pixal: Nindroids have no current visual on them.

Overlord: They just don't know where to look. (He turns to Wu, strapped down to a table.)

Wu: I'll never tell you where they're hiding.

Overlord: You might not but your memories will. (He searches his memories.)

Wu: (Laughs) It tickles.

Overlord: It's only a matter of time until your mind tells me everything.

Wu: Never. (Laughs)

(Meanwhile, the Ninja hide their vehicles with leaves away from the City.)

Lloyd: Aah. Great idea, Elenora. This is a perfect place to lay low. No robots, no cameras, no problems.

Nya: Still, if any ariel drones pass overhead, you better wear this. (She tosses him a Techno gi.) It will scramble their signal so they can't find you.

Jay: (Looks at the dojo. To Kai.) Hey, if this is Lloyd's dad's place, shouldn't Lloyd have told us to go here and not Elenora?

Kai: If you didn't know, the Overlord's back. We have bigger problems than who's idea makes sense for who.

Lloyd: (He does Spinjitzu and change's his gi. Laughs) Yeah, this is sweet.

Misako: Lloyd?

Lloyd: Mom? (He quickly embraces her.)

Misako: Oh. What are you all doing here?

Lloyd: The Overlord's back and New Ninjago City has fallen under his control. He has Sensei Wu.

Misako: Wu's tough. There's a reason he's lived as long as he has.

Lloyd: Well, where's Dad?

Kai: Yeah, where's Lord Garmadon? 

Misako: He no longer goes by Lord. Here, he is Sensei Garmadon and he won't be back until this evening's lesson.

Jay: Uh, did you just say Sensei Garmadon?

Elenora: If you weren't so busy with your pranks, you would know that Lloyd's father had been making up for his past mistakes since the Overlord's defeat.
