"I will see you on the other side.... I will see you on the other side.... I will see you-
(Y/N) walked around a dark icy biome, he saw someone up ahead, he though they looked familiar, he ran to them only for him to fall down a cave, he rubbed his head and looked around in fear, he saw a dark figure look at him with purple eyes before slowly approaching him
"Stay back!." (Y/N) yelled in fear as the figure came closer to him
(Y/N) then gasped as he opened his eyes, he looked around scared as a bit of his hair blocked his left eye, he found his arms chained at the wall, he tried to break free to no success, (Y/N) noticed his GI was purple with silver accents, especially where is dual dragon insignia was
"Hello? Hello?." (Y/N) called out
"Hello? Is someone there?." Another voice asked besides (Y/N) cell
"I hear you, where are we? Who are you?." (Y/N) asked
"My name is Zane, and who are you?." Zane asked looking at the bars of his cell with his new titanium body
"My name... I don't remember..." (Y/N) said confused
"Your voice... it sounds... familiar to me." Zane said
"Your voice... it sounds familiar too." (Y/N) said as he remembered his dream
"It should, that is because you are both brothers." PIXAL said scaring (Y/N), Zane looked at the cell next to him and saw a light coming from the cell next to him
"B-brothers?." (Y/N) asked
"Yes, and your name is (Y/N), adopted son of Sensei Wu." PIXAL told (Y/N)
"(Y/N)? That's my name?." (Y/N) asked himself
"Who are you?." Zane asked
"I'm PIXAL. a friend. And you're both in danger and have to get out of here. Zane, your memory drive is out of sorts, and (Y/N), your suffering from amnesia, both of your Elemental Powers-
"Elemental powers?." Zane and (Y/N) asked cutting PIXAL off
"Zane, your a Nindroid, (Y/N), your a creation of the Overlord, you are both ninja. And your friends are here to save you. But they can't do it all. You both have to remember who you both are." PIXAL said
"Friends?." Zane asked curiously
"Brothers?." (Y/N) looked confused
"Remember Zane, (Y/N), you both saved your friends, Zane, you rebuilt yourself, and (Y/N), you recreated your body from the leftover ultimate powers you once had. There are things about you both that you both don't understand. That you both have yet to discover. But if we're ever going to get out of here, you both have to remember." PIXAL explained
"PIXAL. We are compatible?." Zane asked slightly remembering
"Yes Zane. Yes we are." PIXAL said
(Y/N) only looked confused as he tried to grasp what he had heard, he then looked at the bars of his cell as he tried to remember
————————————
Meanwhile at the Samurai X cave, Nya rebuilds the bounty
"I know it's been... awhile, but everyday I hope I wake up and see (Y/N) next to me, telling me that everything would be alright and that we would be together... more light please." Nya asked as Wu wakes up and turns on the flashlight
"Right, you hoped my son would be here with you." Wu said tiredly
"It's just, the last time we spoke, I kissed him for the first time, and then just like that...he was gone, I just... I just feel like I lost apart of myself... I know people tell me to move on and find another, but I just can't, socket wrench." Nya said as Wu hands her a tool
"Yes, I understand that feeling, when Garmadon was banished to the underworld, I hoped I would wake up and see him by my side as a good person again." Wu said
"Yeah, but Garmadon came back to the light... (Y/N) can't come back." Nya said sadly as she goes to use the tool Wu gave her
"Sensei, these are needle-nose pliers. I asked for a socket wrench." Nya said before sighing
"Sensei... how do you get over someone you lost?." Nya asked
"There's many ways. But we all get over someone one day, it's a wound that heals slowly, it just takes time, I would know, my wounds have yet to be healed... Misako, any word?." Wu asked
"Nothing. It's been days and still no word from Garmadon or the ninja. I'm worried." Miskao said worriedly
"As am I. It's time we broaden our search." Wu said
"Well, then it's a good thing I made a mobile base in case the Destiny Bounty was ever out of commission." Nya said as a vehicle appeared from the floor
"I call it the D.B Express! Mm, not married to the name." Nya said
"Find my family, Nya." Miskao asked as Nya jumps into the D.B express
"I'm on my way." Nya said as she drives away
"Wherever they are, at least my brother is there to guide them." Wu said
"This is my husband we're talking about. And that's what worries me." Miskao said
————————————-
Meanwhile on the island, an Anacondrai Cultist is serving the Elemental Masters food
"Next!." Krait yelled as Garmadon goes next, but Krait doesn't give anything
"Nu-uh! Nothing for you." He crossed his arms
"There's a valuable lesson here, son. If you turn your back on your first evil Sensei in an effort to go straight...
"Next!." Krait yelled
.... You may not be severed creamy biscuits." Garmadon said walking away
"Well, I know what we are being served. A whole bunch of baloney. This isn't a fighting tournament. It's an alibi for Chen to steal everyone's powers. But we still don't know why." Lloyd said
"Isn't it obvious? Chen wants to destroy New Ninjago City. I don't know what it is, but that place has had a string of bad luck." Kai said
"I'm not so sure. From what Sensei G's told us about him, I have a feeling it's something far more sinister." Cole said
"And may I remind us, we still don't know where Zane and (Y/N) are, which is why we all need to take care of our first rounds to give us more time." Jay said in his PJ's, they all looked at him
"Don't look at me. I've already moved on." Jay said
"Your opponent got himself kicked out." Cole said
"Hehe, either way, it's my day off." Jay said as he looks at the Cultist
"Extra creamy biscuits. And don't skimp." Jay said as he got extra before they all walked off
"Taking a day off? And here I thought ninja never quit." Cole said
"Cole, my friend, I'm not giving up, I'm just taking some time off from our missing friends and fights." Jay said relaxed
"So... giving up?." Cole asked as Jay groaned
"Whatever you have to say to each other, say it now, because harbouring grudges hurts no one but yourselves." Garmadon told them
"He's right. You should be preparing to fight your next opponent, not each other." Lloyd said
"Hey, we're not holding grudges or fighting each other, this is just friend talk." Jay defended
"Yeah, we haven't had a grudge in ages." Cole said as he and Jay high-five only for Jay to drop his drink and biscuits
"Oops, sorry Jay." Cole apologised
"Eh it's okay, I still got biscuits." Jay said picking them up
"The tournament will test them, Chen has ways to make friends turn to enemies, you must make sure no one falls to his tricks Lloyd." Garmadon said as Lloyd nodded
"The tournament of Elements continues. Fun time! Would the following Masters please make their way to their assigned arena? Speed, Gravity, Smoke, Nature, Mind, oh and and last hopefully not least....
"Huh, maybe we all got the day off." Jay said
....Fire!." Chen yelled on the intercom, Kai gasps as everyone looks worried
"Remember, only one can remain." Chen said on the intercom
——————————-
Outside near a giant pink pedalled tree a JadeBlade lays on top of the tree, Griffin Turner and Gravis got ready
"Turner, Master of Speed, versus Gravis, Master of Gravity. Fight!." Chen yelled as the two use their powers to get to the JadeBlade
———————-
Meanwhile oof a tall rock, Neruo and Bolobo arrived as they get ready for their match
"Neuro, Master of Mine, versus Bolobo, Master of Nature. Fight!." Chen yelled as Neuro uses his powers on Bolobo seeing what Bolobo was thinking and planning to do
"They call this a fight?." Lloyd asked skeptical
"Wait for it." Garmadon said as Bolobo uses his vines on Neuro who already saw it coming and dodged the vines
——————————
Meanwhile at a volcano, Kai and ash get ready for their fight
"Kai, Master of Fire, versus Ash, Master of Smoke. Fight!." Chen yelled as the duo rush at each other, Kai shoots fire at Ash who dodges by using his smoke, they then knock of the JadeBlade on a rock under the bridge
"Come on Kai, you can do it." Lloyd said
———————
Meanwhile Neuro and Bolobo fights each other still, Neuro dodging Bolobo's vines
"Never underestimate the power of the mind." Garmadon smiled as Neuro gets trapped
"I didn't see that coming!." Neuro yelled as Bolobo laughed
"In Man vs Nature. Nature usually wins." Lloyd said as Bolobo went to grab the JadeBlade
—————————
"What? Can't keep up?." Turner mocked Gravis with his speed
"I'm over here. Can't catch me." Turner said as Gravis levitated some flowers from the tree
"This doesn't look good." Turner said as Gravis sent flowers at him
—————————
"Ninja! Go!." Kai yelled using Spinjtizu only for Ash to dodge again
"Come on Kai. Use your power." Lloyd said as Kai went to use his fire
"Fire!." Kai yelled firing at Ash who dodged with his smoke again
—————————
Neuro uses his mind powers to give Bolobo a headache, losing Neruo, he got out and uses another vine to climb the rock and grabs the JadeBlade
"Yeah!." Neruo cheered
"Winner! Loser!." Chen yelled at Bolobo who screams as he falls down the trap door
"Master of Mind moves on." Chen announced
————————
Meanwhile Gravis levitates flies towards the JadeBlade and uses his powers to get it, Turner noticed and quickly swiped it
"Yeah!." Griffin yelled
"Winner! Loser!." Chen yelled at Gravis, he opened a trapdoor but Gravis doesn't fall due to his powers, Gravis chuckles only for Chen to press another button and sends a sandbag on top of Gravis pushing him into the trapdoor
"Woah. How many buttons does that man have?." Griffin asked
"Master of Speed moves on." Chen announced
———————-
Meanwhile, Kai and Ash fight still, Ash keeps dodging Kai's attacks, Clouse goes to use his Dark Magic on their match but Chen stops him
"No magic, I'm enjoying this." Chen smiled as Clouse backs down, Kai sends fire at Ash who once again dodged, this time the fire hits the bridge and breaks it, Kai hangs on a broken plank piece and Skylor gasps, Kai then uses Spinjtizu to get down to safety, ash and him jump to the JadeBlade, Kai uses his powers makes ash use his powers, not realising his mistake as Kai grabs the JadeBlade
"Winner! Loser!." Chen yelled at Ash who falls down a trap door
"Master of Fire moves on." Chen announces
———————————
Inside Chens palace, Chen laughs as he watches his Kabuki perform for him
"Master, it was the ninja who snuck into our ceremony, yet we allow them to move forward, I beg you, let me use my sorcery and put an end to this." Clouse begged
"We'll use your magic in time, but not now. Not when there are other ways to whittle them down. Perhaps it's time to switch things up." Chen smiled as the duo laugh
————————————-
Later, the ninja approach the Elemental Masters who gather around the bracket
"What's all the commotion?." Jay asked as they get to the front, they gasp as they see Cole and Jay on the bracket
"No, he can't do this." Cole said
"He already did." Lloyd said
"We gotta fight each other." Cole said as Jay looked confused
"But why does it say I have to fight Cole? It didn't say that before. I'm not ready to fight. It was supposed to be my day off!." Jay yelled
"Is there a problem ninja?." Clouse asked
"You cheated! You changed the brackets." Cole said
"Oopsie." Clouse laughs as he walks away
"Chens doing this to limit our numbers." Cole said as he glared at Clouse
"What do we do? They can't fight each other. We came here to become whole, not fall further apart." Lloyd said
"You can't undo what's been done. My only advice is to be at peace with it." Garmadon said
"Peace? One of us has to lose! Oh my gosh. It's totally gonna be me. He's got super strength and what do I have? Quick, tell me! What do I have?!." Jay yelled scared
"Uh... witty quips?." Cole answered as Jay grabbed Cole
"That's not helpful!." Jay shook Cole
"Don't listen to my dad. We'll find Zane and (Y/N) then none of us have to battle. Your fight isn't until tonight so we still have time to figure out what Chens up to and stop this." Lloyd said
"I think I know just the person who can help. And I think he already knows." Kai said looking at Neuro
——————————-
At night, the ninja walk up to Neuro who meditates on a rock
"We need your help Neuro." Lloyd said
"You think I can get close to Chen to read his mind, so you can find your robotic and human friend and not have to fight." Neruo said
"Don't forget-
"You still need to know what Chens up to because he's hiding something." Neruo said cutting Kai off
"That's really impressive, Nerdo." Jay complimented
"It's Neruo, Master of Mind. And Cole thinks Jay won't last long in a fight." Neruo said
"Pfft. You think that?." Jay asked
"You literally just said that on our way here." Cole defended
"But you didnt have to believe it." Jay said
"Don't be offended Cole. Jay here thinks you're the least valuable ninja." Neruo said
"You don't say." Cole glared at Jay who chuckled nervously
"Is it too late to say sorry?." Jay asked chuckling slightly, Lloyd quickly gets in between the duo
"We wanted you to help, Neruo, not make things worse." Lloyd said
"But why would I help? You're competition. The sooner you're out, the better for me." Neruo said
"If you want what's best for you, just look into my head and you'll see what this tournament is all about." Lloyd said as he sees Chen stealing Karlofs powers
"It's only a matter of time before Chen steals your power too. So are you in?." Lloyd asked Neruo
—————————
In the dungeon, Zane struggles to free himself
"Don't bother, I've tried for ages, these chains won't break." (Y/N) sighed sadly
"Maybe for you, but Zane's different." PIXAL said as Zane looks at the light
"How so?." Zane asked
"You have to search deep within yourself." PIXAL told Zane who activated a saw to cut through the chains
"Yes, that's it! You're remembering." PIXAL cheered
"Don't worry friend, I'll save you too when I break free." Zane told (Y/N)
"Much appreciated." (Y/N) smiled
Outside of the cells, two cultists talk
"Tonight's fight is gonna be epic. Who do you got? Jay or Cole?." A cultist asked
"I'm a Cole man. Never liked the colour blue." The second cultist said as he heard the saws
"What's that grinding sound?!." He yelled as they walk over to Zane and (Y/N) cell, they look through to see nothing out of the ordinary as they pretend to be unconscious
"Heh, I guess I was just hearing things." The cultist chuckled
"Still can't believe we have the Overlords creation, he looks nothing like what the Overlord looks like." The second cultist said
"Yeah, hard to believe it, but it's like he got no memory, he didn't even know his own name, what a loser." The cultists laugh
"Wonder what Chens got planned for him." The cultist asked
"Don't know, don't care. C'mon let's go." The cultist said as they leave
"It's not safe. I suggest you break out when everyone's at the big fight." PIXAL said
"You mean, we must break out." Zane said
"You both go without me." (Y/N) said sadly
"No, if what PIXAL says is true and that we are brothers, then I'm not leaving you behind too." Zane smiled as (Y/N) smiled too
——————————-
Meanwhile, Neruo walks into the Kabuki changing room
"Not so tight." Chen laughs
"This floor is restricted." Clouse said appearing out of nowhere
"Clouse. I was just leaving." Neruo said
"I saw you speaking with the ninja, it'd be a shame if the other fighters were to find out you were... helping them." Clouse said
"Of course not. I'm the Master of Mind." Neruo said using his powers on Clouse and sees a spell
"In smarter than that." Neruo said as he left
—————————
That night, Jay and Cole are preparing for their fight
"Oh man, I can't fight Cole, I have no reason to fight him." Jay said sadly as Neruo arrived
"You're cutting it close. So did you see into his head?." Kai asked
"I'm sorry. I couldn't get past Clouse." Neruo apologised
"Oh man, so I do have to fight Cole?." Jay groaned
"But I did see something. For a brief moment. I saw inside Clouses mind. The powers he's collecting, they are for a spell." Neruo said
"A spell for what?." Kai asked
"I don't know. But it's in his spell book on page 149. In sorry it's not enough to stop the fight. I wish I could've done more." Neuro said
"That's okay. You've done what you could." Kai said
—————————-
Meanwhile Cole trains while Lloyd talks to Cole
"You don't have to say it. It was inevitable we were gonna have to face each other." Cole said sadly
"Well, I'm not at peace with this, but that doesn't mean you still can't find peace with each other. We don't have control when we fight, but we do have control how we fight. Jays not the enemy, Chen is. Remember that." Lloyd said
"Wu once said the best way to defeat your enemy is to make him your friend. But how are you supposed to defeat your friend?." Cole asked as the fight is about to start, Lloyd Kai and Neruo go back to the audience
"You tried your best, the rest is up to them." Garmadon said
"I hope they can see that too." Lloyd hoped
"Let the tournament continue! Jay, Master of Lightning, versus Cole, Master of-
Before Chen could finish speaking the duo fight each other
"Haha! That's all you've got?." Jay asked laughing
"Eat dirt, Blue-Belle!." Cole yelled as they clashed elements
"Oh, Clouse go get me popcorn. This is turning out better than I anticipated." Chen said excited
———————————
Meanwhile Zane manages to free himself from his chains
"Hurry Zane, go get (Y/N) and escape." PIXAL said as Zane went to free (Y/N) by cutting his bars, successfully breaking through he climbs through and faces him
"Your- silver?." (Y/N) asked looking confused as Zane slowly starts memorising (Y/N)
"Titanium actually, come on brother, let's get you free." Zane said as he cuts (Y/N)'s chains
"Zane... thank you." (Y/N) thanked as he gets free
"If my memory serves me correct, your hair has gotten longer, and the black on your GI is now silver." Zane said slowly remembering (Y/N)
"Huh, is that what I'm wearing?." (Y/N) said as they climbed over to Zane's cell and break through to PIXALS cell
"We're through, now let's get out of here." Zane said as they see PIXAL in pieces
"PIXAL... you're... you're..."
"Scrapped. I know, but I couldn't tell you. Not when you needed to get out of here. Sadly this is where my journey ends, but not for you both. Zane, (Y/N), you must go without me. Find your friends. Stop Chen. I know you both have it in you both and don't worry about me. I will always be apart of you." PIXAL said as Zane held her former hand
"You're right. You will always be apart of me." Zane smiled
"Zane?." (Y/N) looked confused
"Zane, what are you-!." PIXAL is cut off and Zane takes out her neural drive and inserts it inside his head
"Zane, you've taken my metal drive and inputted it into your processor. You're ingenious!." PIXAL praised
"Wait... is PIXAL inside your head?." (Y/N) asked
"Yes, now not only will we remember who we are better, but we can do it together, but until then, let's both get out of-
"Zane! Behind you!." (Y/N) yelled too late as he and Zane get tased by Clouse
"Next time, maybe it would be best to tie up the Nindroid with chains thick enough that he couldn't cut through." Clouse said looking at Zane
"What about the boy?." A warrior asked
"Keep him ready, Chens got a plan for him and the Green Ninja." Clouse said as they get dragged away
———————————
Meanwhile outside, Cole and Jay fight
"Stronger than you thought, eh?." Jay asked
"Dude, have you been working out since we last met?." Cole asked
"No, I think it's from our previous adventures." Jay said as he gets overpowered by Cole, Jay got flinched back into a wall
"Sorry Jay, but I'm still the stronger ninja." Cole said as he looked at his downed friend before realising his mistake
"Jay... I didn't mean too... argh! What are we doing? Chens the enemy, not us." Cole said as Jay slowly got up
"Yeah, Chen is the enemy, not us, why are we even fighting? We have no hate left, not after we stopped fighting for Nya, Cole I'm sorry." Jay apologised
"But we can't just stop fighting." Cole said as Chen was confused with the lack of fighting
"But how are we supposed to stop fighting? We cant both win." Jay reasoned
"Well, maybe we can draw it out till they call it a tie. Quick, attack me. But not hard." Cole said as they go and attack each other without their powers
"You think Chen will buy it?." Jay asked
"Ah, what is this? Pattycake? I'm bored. Release the Condrai Crushers!." Chen yelled as three crushers came out from the wall
"No, he won't, but don't worry, I got your back." Cole said
"And I've got yours." Jay said
"Ninja! Go!." The both yelled as they went to attack the crushers
"Ah, they fight together. Good work son." Garmadon smiled
"Yeah, I do listen to you every once in a while." Lloyd smiled
"Nothing can stop their friend ship." Kai smiled as they watched them fight together stopping the crushers
"Enough! I know what you are trying to do. If neither of you will win, then both of you will lose!." Chen yelled as he pressed multiple buttons releasing trapdoors
"We can't both lose. Chens right, there can only be one." Cole said
"And it should be you. You and  both know im lucky to have even made it this far. You take the JadeBlade." Jay said as Cole climbs the pillar and grabs the blade, only to throw it to Jay who caught it
"Winner! Loser!." Chen yelled at Cole
"Master of Lightning moves on." Chen said as Cole looked at Jay, they walked up and hugged each other
"Good luck brother." Cole said as Jay nodded as Cole falls down a trapdoor
"About time, phew." Chen sighed while the ninja looks down sadly
"Cole may be gone, but he did not lose. Let what he did here today be a lesson for us all. Know thine enemy, but more importantly, know thy friend. He fought like a true ninja." Garmadon said
————————
Meanwhile, Nya travels on the D.B express, following the Falcon
"Why did you call me here?." Nya asked as the Falcon screeches
"Zane's beacon. Coming from somewhere off the coast, and there's another beacon... that's (Y/N)'s beacon... that's impossible... he's gone... or is he?." Nya asked herself seeing (Y/N)'s beacon nexts to Zane's
"Sensei Wu, come in. This is Nya, do you read? I think I may have found the ninja... and more." Nya said looking out off the coast
