In Ninjago, Garmadon uses the Colossus to destroy buildings on its way to the Resistance's location.

Dareth: Guys, we need to go! Pronto!

Lloyd: Skylor, you have to wake up!

Nya: We have to run.

Dareth: Run? One of us can't even stand!

Lloyd: Let's move!

A car is thrown at the doorway, blocking their way into the building. Lloyd, Acid, Nya, and Dareth look back to see the Colossus hammer a blow on the building and immediately run to jump at the building next to theirs.

Nya: Jump, Dareth! (Another car is thrown at them.)

Dareth screams and jumps to building. He slips, grabbing hold of the edge in the last second. Nya jumps, landing with a small twirl on the next building. She grabs Dareth before he falls over.

Nya: Throw her over!

Lloyd: That's not going to work.

Nya: (Gasps.) Lloyd! (Lloyd jumps into the air as the Colossus punches the building.) No! (Lloyd lands on the Colossus's fist. Garmadon sees Lloyd and tries to throw him off. Lloyd runs across the fist, landing on the building with Nya, Acid, and Dareth.)

Dareth: Lloyd! Yes! (The Colossus roars and everyone runs away.)

Garmadon: You think you can hide from my wrath! I'll destroy every building to find you! (Nya, Acid, Dareth, Lloyd run through an aisle to stop at another street. Lloyd puts Skylor down.)

Gayle: (On TV.) Everyone should leave the city at once! Nowhere is safe!

Dareth: Ever since Garmadon lost Harumi, he's lost his marbles!

Nya: Dareth's right. He's not going to stop until he finds us.

Lloyd: I know.

Acid: that's why we need to be ready.

Nya: There's only one thing that can withstand that. I ditched the Battle Wagon across town. If we can get to it... we can leave the city.

Lloyd: Leave the city?!

Nya: Just until things calm down.

Dareth: Lloyd, I'm with Nya. Mystake said we needed to survive until the ninja got back. Well, where are they, huh? There's no shame in knowing when to turn tail.

Lloyd: Okay, we go for the Battle Wagon. But we're not skipping town. We hold on for as long as we can. (Nya and Dareth run off. Lloyd and Acid look up.) Where are you guys? (Lloyd runs.)

Acid: they should be coming back soon.

In the First Realm, Jay, Acid, Kai, Cole, Zane, and Faith are currently tied up.

Kai: (He sighs, then sees a shadow of a bird.) I hope that's your Falcon, Zane.

Zane: My receptors pick up that, that is a avian scavenger, a harbinger of our approaching demise.

Faith: It's a Bonepicker, and Zane is right.

Jay: Why does Zane always have to be right? Can't it just be enough that we're tied to giant poles in the middle of the desert?! And don't forget Wu is being held hostage, forced to steal for Iron Baron the Dragon Armor, so that he can become invincible! Can't that be enough?!

Acid: it's never enough.

Cole: (Scavenger lands by Cole.) No! Don't come to me! (He kicks his foot.) Shoo. (Bird flies away.)

Kai: (Raises his head.) Look. Something's going on.

Jet Jack: (Snatches from conversation.) Not again... come outside!... Stop questioning me. (Muzzle retorts back.) Oh, come on! (Arguing continues.)
