The FSM taught Nalia all kinds of languages; it came in handy here.

Wow, character growth for Nalia. If she were still little, she would have acted differently.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

"It is good to have our powers back." said Zane.

"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..." Jay 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.

"Oh, brother," said Nalia, shaking her head, watching this and knowing what was coming next by the looks of it.

"Enough! Are you trying to reveal our hidden location?" said Wu sternly.

"Uh, sorry, Sensei. We were just practicing our cool new Elemental Blades." said Kai.

"And our witty quips." said Jay.

"Be wary of overconfidence, ninjas. While it is true your powers can defeat the , only Lloyd alone has the power to defeat Garmadon. When it is all over, then we will see who laughs last." said Wu.

"Yes, Sensei." said the ninjas.

Nalia sighed at this as she sat down and tried checking her staff a little more, but she noticed a lot of cracks on it. "I'm surprised it hasn't broken yet by my strength, but it can only take a few more hits before it breaks."

*In the distance, Dr. Julien is repairing the Falcon while Lloyd watches.*

"Every cog, every gear is important. If one piece is missing, or out of place, the invention won't work." Julien closes the Falcon's panel. "Come now, little one. Time to fly." The Falcon flies to the ninjas.

"It is like you ninja. You each serve very important roles, and are key parts to a magnificent fighting force." said Wu.

Cole spots a "coconut," unaware it's the Falcon. "Eat dirt, scumbag!" He projected his Earth.

Zane gasps and counters it with his Ice. "That is not a coconut!"

"Nice reflexes." said Cole as the Falcon squawks and lands on Zane's arm.

"Good to have you back, old friend." said Zane.

"If we're all gears, what if I'm the gear that doesn't work? What if I don't do my part? What if I can't defeat my father?" Lloyd questioned.

"What if there are no more "What-ifs"? The Final Battle is almost upon us. When that time comes, we will know the answer to what ifs whether we like it or not." said Wu.

Nalia looked over at Lloyd. She took his hand and gave him a soft smile as she walked over, which seemed to cheer him up a little.

"I know you don't want to face your father, but there is no other choice." said Nya.

"But perhaps there is. I used to think it was inevitable, but the I found this." Misako shows them a scroll.

"You mean Lloyd doesn't have to fight? This I gotta hear." said Cole.

"Oh, this could be good news," said Nalia, smiling at Lloyd.

"The scrolls say that when the Helmet of Darkness is bequeathed to its rightful ruler, the Celestial Clock will count down to the activation of an unspeakable weapon. The first sign that the Final Battle between good and evil has begun." Misako explained.
