(The ninja finds Dr. Julien on the Endless Sea's shore.)

Julien: What was that sound? The horns?

Wu: The Celestial Clock has reached zero. Garmadon's ultimate weapon is now operational and the Final Battle between good and evil has all but begun.

Misako: Now Lloyd must face his father.

Julien: But where's Nya?

Wu: She's been taken by the Overlord, but we'll get her back. At the moment, there are bigger things at stake, including all of Ninjago itself.

Jay: Who cares about Ninjago? Nya was my—my- my GIRLFRIEND!.

Kai: And she's my sister. I know her being captured is tough, but she's tougher. Tougher than most of us. We'll see her again.

Wu: Lloyd, your focus gives strength to invoking the power of the Golden Dragon. You cannot lose faith now. Everything rests on your shoulders.

Lloyd: But Sensei, you saw what happened when I tried to face my father. I-I froze. I can't fight him.

Anna: It's not a choice at this point it either Ninjago or him...

Wu: You must. It is written in the scrolls.

Misako: Remember, your father is just as scared.

Wu: Then the battle will be decided by who is willing to fight.

Kai: You won't be alone. I'll be right behind you. You have my Fire.

Cole: You have my Earth.

Zane: My Ice.

Anna: You have my Magic.

Jay: And Lightning.

Cole: We're all in this together, kid.

Lloyd: What are we waiting for? Let's suit up. (The team prepares for battle.) I'm ready. (They run towards Garmadon's camp.) Get down, now.

Kai: They won't know what hit them.

Jay: Time to chop wood.

All: Ninja, go! (They break open the gates, but find the campsite abandoned.)

Jay: Uh, where the heck is everybody?

Cole: Ugh, and here I was all ready to release the thunder.

Kai: The ultimate weapon is gone. We're too late. Nya? Nya!

Anna: She's not here. They must her taken her with them.

Zane: (The Falcon screeches.) My Falcon friend wants to show us something. (The Falcon shows them the Garmatron's tracks.)

Lloyd: Whoa. That's one big weapon.

Zane: It appears to be heading toward the coast.

Lloyd: But why? Wouldn't he try to use it on us?

Wu: Not on us. On Ninjago. He always wanted to turn our world into his own image. Now we know how it will be done.

Misako: But if he starts turning things evil, the balance will shift and allow the Overlord to cross over into our world.

Lloyd: Then we have to make sure that my father never fires that weapon.

Zane: (Noticing that Dr. Julien is panting) Father!
