(On the rice fields, villagers flee from the Vengestone Warriors. One warrior blasts a villager and turns him into a crystal zombie. Cole arrives and blasts a few warriors away from them. The warriors stop glowing when they hit the ground.)

Cole: Ha! Invincible, my butt! (But the warriors start glowing and get back up.) Oh no! (The Crystal Warriors blast his car and sends it flying through the air.) Yikes! Uh, slight problem here.

(Cole's engine shuts down and the Vengestone Warriors march their way towards him. Suddenly Jay arrives on his bike and knocks out a few warriors.)

Jay: Hang on, Cole, ole' buddy, I gotcha! Come on, Cole. I think it's time to get out of here! (He blasts his bike's electric weapons the army, but they are unaffected.) Jump on my bike!

Cole: Just gimme a sec here!

Jay: Cole, we have to go. Now!

(Just then the Destiny's Bounty arrives and fires the cannons at the Vengestone Warriors, knocking them away from Jay and Cole. Nya steps onto the deck, with Izzy on her shoulder, and calls out down to them.) 

Izzy: You boys okay down there?

Cole: Yeah! But my engine is fried!

Nya: Jay, can you tow Cole's vehicle back to the Sam X Cave?

Jay: Yeah, I think so. What about you?

Nya: I'll meet you there. We may have found a way to stop all this!

Cole: That's great! How? (Izzy and Nya look at each other.) 

Nya: It's easier to just show you.

(A little while later, Kai, Cole, Jay, and Zane arrive at the Samurai X Cave and meet up with the others.)

Cole: So how do we stop these things?

Wu: We've discovered that our enemies have a weakness. They may be impervious to Elemental Power, but not to the Oni Form.

Jay: Oni Form?

Wu: In the beginning, there was the Dragon and the Oni. Order and chaos, creation and destruction. You have been taught to channel Elemental Power, which comes from the dragon. But the Oni has an equal and opposite. And the highest form of that power is the Oni Form.

Kai: How did you learn this? 

(Suddenly, Garmadon walks out ominously from the shadows.) 

Garmadon: From me.

Kai: Garmadon?!

Jay: (Gasps.) Look out!

Zane: Master Wu, get down!

(Zane, Cole, Jay, and Kai ready their powers to attack Garmadon.) 

Garmadon: (Unimpressed.) Really? This again?

Coral: Stand down, guys. He's here to help. (Kai, Cole, Jay, and Zane reluctantly deactivate their powers.) 

Jay: (He whispers to Lloyd.) What happened to his other arms? (Lloyd looks unimpressed.) 

Wu: We saw my brother use it against the Crystal Warriors. It was most effective. Lloyd is part Oni and Coral is half Oni. If Garmadon can teach them how to achieve their Oni Forms, we might have a chance.

Kai: You sure about this, you two?

Lloyd: Not even remotely. But I did see Garmadon use it, and it worked against them.
