[blasting]

Ha! Invincible, my butt!

[ominous music]

[rallying growl]

Oh, no!

[zapping]

-[blasting] -[Cole screaming]

-[Cole yelping] -[alarm beeping]

Yikes! Uh, slight problem here.

[engine rumbling]

[Jay] Hang on, Cole, ole' buddy! I gotcha!

Come on, Cole...

-I think it's time to get outta here. -[zapping]

Jump on my bike!

Just gimme a sec here.

Cole! We have to go! Now!

[blasting]

[Cole and Jay cheering]

You okay down there?

[Cole] Yeah, but my engine is fried.

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

Yeah, I think so.

What about you?

I'll meet you there.

We may have a found way to stop all this!

That's great! How?

It's easier to just show you.

So how do we stop these things?

We've discovered that our enemies have a weakness.

They may be impervious to Elemental Power,

but not to the "Oni Form."

"Oni Form?"

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."

How did you learn this?

From me.

[Kai] Garmadon!

-Lookout! -Master Wu, get down!

Really? This again?

What happened to his other arms?

We saw my brother use it against the Crystal Warriors.

It was most effective.

And Lloyd is part Oni.

If Garmadon can teach him how to achieve his Oni Form,

we might have a chance.

You sure about this, Lloyd?

Not even remotely.

But I did see Garmadon use it, and it worked against them.

Unfortunately, I see no choice.

The Crystal Island drains the power from your vehicles,

the Vengestone army nullifies your elemental powers...

leaving us defenseless.

I understand your mistrust.

But I have changed since last we met.

And I shall do my best to be a kind and patient teacher to Lloyd.

This is terrible!

Spin!

What happened to kind and patient?

[Garmadon] How can you be doing it so wrong?

The Oni Form comes from within!

You must embrace all your emotions, your anger...

and frustration, and then release it!

[momentous music]

[grunting]

[Lloyd panting]

[yelps]

No, no!

You're doing it with your body, but not with your mind!

With my "mind?"

Yes! With the connection between your mind and soul.

The inside of your personal reality.

You must find it, feel it and crush it!

Only when you have conquered your inner form,

can you control your outer form!

Now try again!

Assume your Oni stance... and spin!

[determined grunt]

[powerful music]

Somehow that was more terrible.

How are you not getting this?

It's so simple!

Simmer down, "Master" Garmadon.

He's doing exactly what you said.

You keep changing the rules, saying different stuff!

I don't think he has any clue how to achieve "Oni Form."

Wrong! You must give up control,

and give into your rage!

Then channel it through your face!

Are you sure this is wise, Master Wu?

This seems contrary to all your teachings.

Yeah, I-I don't remember "channeling rage through my face."

All things have an opposite!

If you wish to achieve "Oni Form,"

you must do the opposite of what you have been taught!

What did you say?

I said if he wishes to achieve--

No, not that.

You said all things have an opposite.

And you are correct.

About what?

If there is an all powerful "Oni Form" on one side of the spectrum,

perhaps there is an all powerful "Dragon Form" on the other.

Misako is still at the library in Domu,

perhaps she can help us with this research.

Pixal, I could use your help to reach her.

Good! Go!

Maybe we'll get somewhere when the back seat drivers are gone.

Back to work!

And remember, you must unleash your anger!

Channel it!

[sighs]

The moment we've all feared is here.

The unidentified floating crystal structure

has reached downtown.

And it has brought with it a crystal army.

Vinny, did you get that?

It appears the crystals spread by infecting others!

Wait! I've just been told Mayor Trustable is issuing a statement.

We're going live to city hall.

...can you please make sure my car is ready

for me to evacuate the city as quickly as--

What? Right now?

We-we're live? Oh, um...

[clears throat] Please, please...

Citizens of Ninjago City, stay calm.

This is no cause for panic.

What about the crystal army marching through the city?

And the floating island of doom hovering above us?

[chuckles] You think your fearless Mayor

doesn't have a backup plan?

Law and order will be restored any moment.

-[poofing] -Wherever there are criminals...

Wherever there are convicts...

Wherever there are felons...

You will find...

The New Ninja!

Ninja charge!

[battle music]

[grunting]

[power crackling]

Backflip!

How the heck did you all get...

Oh.

[zapping]

[zombie groans]

Do you have a backup plan for the backup plan?

Uh, of course I do.

Run for your lives! This is the end!

-[screaming] -[cat meowing]

[everyone screaming]

[focused grunt]

[Garmadon] No, no, no!

Terrible times infinity!

I would have an easier time teaching dogs how to speak!

I've been to the Realm of Madness,

The Underworld, the Cursed, the Departed Realm,

but I have never found myself in a situation

more hopeless than this.

It's like you want Ninjago to fall to the Overlord.

Harumi would at least have understood

-what I was getting at. -[power surging]

Uh, Lloyd?

Your hands are purple!

[yelps, panicked panting]

[dark music]

What are you doing? Don't stop!

I'm trying to save your miserable city from the Overlord himself.

And at the first sign of success,

you lose your nerve?

He is doing his best, brother.

His best is inadequate!

It's clear you have been too soft on him!

You are a poor teacher!

I knew bringing you here was a terrible idea!

But you just went too far!

Yeah, nobody insults Master Wu!

[Zane] We are wasting valuable time.

Our city is being overrun while we argue.

Yeah. Enough of this nonsense.

We need to get out there and save everyone

the old-fashioned way. With smarts and Ninja skills.

Logically, I must concur.

Every second we delay reduces the chances of our victory by--

So be it!

Despite the brilliance of my instruction,

it is apparent to me that some people simply cannot be helped.

But tell me, inform my ignorance.

How are you going to defeat an enemy whose very existence

mutes your elemental powers and renders your vehicles useless?

With these.

[heroic music]

[Pixal] I have coated the vehicles

in a nano-tech-polymer designed to withstand

the energy-draining-properties of the crystals.

The crystals emit a form of radiation that disrupts electrical systems.

I have shielded against it.

Instead of being drained, the Crystal Temple

will actually provide a power boost.

Oh, this is so much better

than poorly taught Oni Form classes.

[chuckles nervously]

The increased power should also augment your weapons systems,

allowing for more effective combat.

But please do not use the Power Boost too often,

or you risk your vehicles burning out.

Hm. Small concern about burning out our engines

versus saving everything that's important to us?

That's a risk I'm willing to take.

-I agree. -Totally!

Alright, then. I gave Oni Form a chance.

Debatable.

Looks like this is our only solution.

Ninjago!

[heroic action music]

[engines rumbling]

[sighs]

You realize they do not stand a chance, don't you?
