Garmadon and Lloyd had reached the mountains, there Garmadon was having a lesson with Lloyd. He was stacking rocks on him, teaching him about parents. "We underestimate the importance of balance. When it's there, we're at peace. When something is off, everything falls. Ninjago is no different. It put too much faith in technology, allowing the Overlord to return, and because of your friends, now the world is without power. When one relies on something too much, we become weak, vulnerable, imbalanced. In order to find your full potential and unlock your true power, you must find your own balance." Lloyd was grunting while holding up the rocks.

"I'm already the golden ninja, how much more power do I need?" He complained and Garmadon sighed. "You've only scratched the surface! You have the potential to move mountains. Power of the first spinjitzu master!" He said and Lloyd looked up at him. "The others destroyed the power substation, essentially destroying the Overlord and his nindroids. Why can't we go back?" Garmadon looked at him. "Essentially? Until the Overlord is fully erased from the system, we must not go back, but forward!" He then put a giant rock onto the pile of rocks, making Lloyd fall.

"If you can't move mountains, I guess we'll have to move over mountains." Garmadon said and Lloyd jumped beside him. "Oh yeah?" He said before Garmadon pointed at a tree. "And this next one looks particularly steep." They both looked at a very steep mountain.

In New Ninjago City was Cyrus found by some construction workers. They patched him up before taking him to his office. "Do you feel better, Mr. Borg?" One of them asked and Cyrus nodded. "Yes, yes but how long have I been out?" The workers looked at eachother. "Quite a while, sir. We've been without power for a few days." Suddenly Cyrus noticed that the hard drive was gone, making him start to panic. "The hard drive, It's missing! Have the ninja returned with the techno blades? Please, it's very important!" He exclaimed and the workers shook their heads.

"Uh, no. There's been no one else inside the building." Cyrus soon saw that Wu was gone aswell. "Wu . . . He was right here! Where did he go? And who would take the hard drive when the Overlord virus is still on it? Oh, so many questions, so few answers." He sighed, not knowing that in a secret base, the hard drive was started up by a covered stranger. "Where am I?! The ninja destroyed all of the power. How have you saved me?" Overlord asked in confusion. "Electro-Cobrai. Though extremely rare, they're extremely useful." The stranger said while pointing at a tank with electric serpens.

Overlord looked at him suspiciously. "Who are are you? What do you want from me?" The stranger smirked. "Nothing but a small favor after returning you to power. You do still want to become flesh, if I'm not mistaken?" Overlord became more interested. "Yes, of course, but I need the golden ninja." The stranger nodded. "You'll get your hands on him in time. Our power is limited, we must be wise with our next move. Ninjago is vast, the golden ninja could be anywhere. And still, the ninja have the only weapons that could erase you." He said before activating an evil Wu. Or now, Tech Wu. "The old man knows everything about the ninja. All of their secrets. All of their hideouts. He will find them in no time." Overlord grinned. "Yes, yes!" They both laughed.

The ninja were looking for spare parts at Jay's parent's junkyard. "We've been digging for so long, I think I forgot what we're looking for!" Cole said Kaya turned to him. "A jiggly compact compress converter. Or was it a compress compact jiggly converter? Whatever it is, if it can get us back to New Ninjago City any sooner, it's worth finding." She said with a sigh. Jay was searching with Ed. "We shut off the power thinking we could just waltz in but no. We didn't stop to think we were a bajillion miles away. Hey! A compact converted jiggly compressor!" He exclaimed while holding up a part.

Ed chuckled. "Ah! Great find, kiddo. Now all we need to adapt that hover-copter's power supply to solar power is an upside down rotter derottermabob and a whiz bang automated amplifier!" Kaya sighed before looking at Cole. "I'm starting to think they're just making this stuff up. I'm gonna look how it goes for Nya and Zane with Pixal." She said and Cole nodded. "Go ahead, Firefly. I stay here." Kaya gave him a quick kiss before heading to the others.
