On the Dark Island, Garmadon and the Overlord are watching the Celestial Clock counting down.

Overlord: The clock is only hours away from finishing its countdown to the Final Battle between good and evil, Garmadon. Why so sad?

Garmadon: Me? Sad? Ha! Nonsense. I couldn't be happier. It's just...

Overlord: Lloyd?

Garmadon: I still have to battle my son in order to transform Ninjago into my image.

Overlord: Battle and defeat, if evil is to prevail.

Garmadon sadly leaves.

The ninja just stand there, shocked

Kai: what?

Acid: I am the Overlord's son.

Cole: yeah we heard you.

Wu: but how?

Acid: from what he told me is that when the elemental masters threw my egg in the cave. The egg cracked and that is how I got my scar and I was going to die because the proper conditions weren't met. So long story short, he used some of his "essence" so I wouldn't die while in the egg and gave me Dark Matter so I wouldn't starve.

Everyone was processing this

Julian: so your saying is that the ultimate evil in the world. Saved you?

Acid: yep.

Jay: but he's so evil! And you are decent!

Zane: I mean it would make sense because remember when I said that he has the genetics of the great devourer?

Misako: what!!!!

Acid: what?

Misako: you're telling me you're the son of the snake who almost ate Ninjago city?!

Acid: yeah.

Zane: anyways I also read that someone's else genetics was also there.

Wu: and it was the Overlord's?

Zane: precisely. And maybe that's why he sometimes acts bad.

Acid: alright guys I know that this is a big shock but we got more things to deal with.

The ninja wanted to ask more but Jay asked

Jays: which is?

Acid: how'd you guys get new clothes and what are those? (Points at the ninja's weapons)

Jay: oh you'll love this.

The ninja are "practicing" their new powers on the shore of the Island.

Jay: and that's what happened.

Acid: aw man, you guys always get the good stuff.

Kai: Order up. Coconut cream pie. Served well done! (He uses his Fire on a coconut projectile. Everyone groans and laughs.)

Acid: but that is still cool!

Zane: It is good to have our powers back.

Jay: Yup, you're right. And since we've all been working on our witty quips to follow every cool thing we do, I'd say we got this final battle in the bag. Or should I say...(He signals Cole to launch another coconut.)...I'd be shocked if we lose! (He uses his Lightning on the coconut. He laughs as it explodes.)

Acid: what about this? (Throws a coconut in the air and then shoots a shadowy ball out of his mouth and it hits the coconut and explodes)

Jay: alright, that is cool!
