A beam of light from the celestial clock had just struck down in Garmadon's camp. "Behold, my final gift to you, Garmatron!" Overlord said and Garmadon's eyes widened when the light disappeared and he saw the big vehicle. "It's...it's beautiful." He said before Kozu and warriors walked up to him with the helmet, and Kaya. Her weapon was kept from her. "We've retrieved your helmet, and a prisoner, my dark Lord." Kozu said and handed Garmadon the helmet.

Garmadon grinned at Kaya. "I say. It's a pleasure seeing you meeting your match." Kaya spat in his face. "You'll never get away with this. As soon you remove the ropes, I'll kick your ass." She said and Garmadon just chuckled. "Feisty. You know. Red really fits you. But I think a darker shade would fit better." He snapped his fingers and warriors came with dark matter. Kaya's eyes widened as they started to push her head into it.

The ninja returned to Dr. Julien in their hideout. "What was that sound? The horns?" He asked. "The celestial clock has reached zero. Garmadon's ultimate weapon is now operational and the final battle between good and evil has all but begun." Wu answered. "Now Lloyd must face his father." Misako said before Julien looked around. "But where's Kaya?" Nya and Cole hung their heads as Jay wrapped his arms around them. Wu sighed. "She's been taken by the Overlord, but we'll get her back. At the moment, there are bigger things at stake, including all of Ninjago itself." Nya and Cole nodded.

Wu then turned towards Lloyd. "Lloyd, your focus gives strength to invoking the power of the golden dragon. You cannot lose faith now. Everything rests on your shoulders." Lloyd sighed. "But Sensei, you saw what happened when I tried to face my father. I-I froze. I can't fight him." Misako put a hand on his shoulder. "Remember, your father is just as scared." Wu nodded. "Then the battle will be decided by who is willing to fight." The ninja stepped forward.

"You won't be alone. We'll be right behind you." Cole said and the others nodded. Lloyd smiled at them before getting a determined look. "What are we waiting for? Let's suit up." He said and made themselves ready before heading to Garmadon's camp. They arrived and used spinjitsu to break through the gates. But to their surprise, it was completely empty. "Uh, where the heck is everybody?" Jay asked as they all looked around. "The ultimate weapon is gone. We're too late." Nya pointed out and Kaya walked around.

He soon found something on the ground, Kaya's necklace. "Kaya. I'll find you." He said and picked it up. The falcon alerted them. "My Falcon friend wants to show us something." Zane said before the falcon showed them Garmatron's tracks. "Whoa. That's one big weapon." Lloyd said and Zane looked ahead. "It appears to be heading toward the coast." The others were confused. "But why? Wouldn't he try to use it on us?" Lloyd asked.

"Not on us. On Ninjago. He always wanted to turn our world into his own image. Now we know how it will be done." Wu answered and Misako's eyes widened. "But if he starts turning things evil, the balance will shift and allow the Overlord to cross over into our world." Everyone gasped. "Then we have to make sure that my father never fires that weapon." Lloyd said before they started to run. But Zane saw Julien staying. "Father?" Julien smiled at him. "You go on without me. I'm an inventor, not a fighter. I'll only get in the way." He said.

"But what will you do?" Zane asked. "I'll be back at the Bounty waiting for you to return in one piece. But don't worry, a part of me will always be with you." Julien answered and Zane hugged him. "Be well, Father." Julien hugged back. "Be safe." Zane then caught up with the others, running through the jungle.

Jay thought about something. "Um, is anyone else thinking about how this might be our final fight together?" He asked and Nya nodded. "Yeah. It's all I've been thinking about." The others agreed. "We've come a long way. It wasn't that long ago when Sensei first found us." Cole said. "Remember when Nya hid that she was the samurai?" Jay asked and they all laughed. "You were all so clueless." Nya answered.
