[Lloyd reading episode title]

[suspenseful music]

[groans]

What? [grunts]

[Harumi] Enjoying the view?

[gasps] Weapons of Spinjitzu?

How did you get those?

Settle down, Lloyd.

We have a long day ahead of us and we wouldn't want you

wasting your strength.

We got them from the Monastery. Where else?

[Lloyd grunts]

Master Wu would never hand them over without a...

[Harumi] A fight?

Oh, yes, and what a fight it was.

But in the end, your friends failed.

They're gone now. Like the other Ninja.

No. You're bluffing.

I don't bluff, Lloyd.

You should know that about me by now.

You're lying! You're lying!

How does it feel? To have no one left?

I know that feeling well.

I went through the same thing, after the Great Devourer

took away everything I had in this world.

[whimpers]

After I lost my parents, I felt so alone.

Now it's your turn to feel that grief.

You can let it overwhelm and destroy you,

or you can let it harden and strengthen you.

As it did me.

You're the reason I'm alone!

You're the one who did this!

Which makes you no better than the Great Devourer!

And you're gonna pay, Harumi, I swear!

I will make you pay!

Ooh, there's that darkness again.

Just like your father.

[grunts, breathes shakily]

[Lloyd sighs]

You're wrong. I am nothing like my father.

Mm. Perhaps not.

Perhaps I underestimated you.

I have a ritual to prepare.

It is time for the coming of the Crystal King.

Zane, please tell me your communicator still works?

[crackling]

Unfortunately, no.

Can this get any worse?

Don't ask that question.

Every time someone asks "Can this get worse?"

It always gets worse.

[screams]

Shu shu! Told ya so.

I hate rats!

[Zane] Rats are exceedingly clever animals

with an impressive survival instinct.

Hey, thanks for the random rat facts.

That rat, for instance, seems to have found

an opening between those rocks.

What? Where?

Can you see where it goes?

No. But I can find out.

[grunting]

What do you see? Is there a way out?

[Zane] There is a gap that leads up,

but I do not know how far it extends.

Good enough for me!

[grunting]

[all grunting]

-[yelps] -[rumbling]

Lookout! The tunnel.

[rumbling]

[screams]

[coughing]

Looks like we're not going anywhere after all.

Unless you see any more rats sneaking past.

[sighs] I do not.

They know we're here. They're coming for us.

Yeah. All we have to do is hang tight.

Pixal will get us out somehow.

May I suggest a word-game or story, to help pass the time?

Ooh! I got a fun song.

You guys all know the one about the trapped samurai

who's only got enough ramen to last hours?

That song does not appear in my databank.

Hah! It's a classic!

Uh, I don't know it either.

I think you made it up.

Well, you would be wrong.

Here goes. [clears throat]

♪ Oh cursed Ramen Why have I so little left ♪

♪ Ooh, cursed Ramen I am on a noodle quest, hey ♪

[Jay] ♪ Oh cursed Ramen Why have I so... ♪

-[crumbling] -[yelping]

[strained groan]

What do we do?

We gotta brace it with something!

With what?

Figure something out quick,

because I... I can't...

[pained groaning]

[grunting]

[screaming]

I... I'm sorry, guys!

[strained yell]

It's okay.

[dramatic music]

-[Kai] What? -[Jay] What's happening?

[Nya] Hiya, boys. Need a hand?

[Jay] Nya!

[heroic music]

Nya! You did it!

That was... close.

You guys okay?

[sighs] Let's get back to the monastery.

I need to change my pants.

Oh, uh, about that...

-What? -The monastery... it's gone.

Gone? What do you mean, gone?

[Nya] It's been destroyed.

[gasping]

How?

Who did it?

[Nya] All of them. All our enemies.

Aspheera, Vangelis, Pythor, The Mechanic,

all working together.

They destroyed it and took the Weapons of Spinjitzu.

What do they need those for?

I don't know.

But I know who's behind it.

Harumi.

Harumi?

How is that possible?

I don't know. Somehow, she's back.

Where are Master Wu and Pixal?

[Nya] They're okay.

They're setting up the new base for us.

We have a new base?

That was quick.

Actually... it's more like an "old" base.

[distant police sirens]

What are you talking about?

It's easier if I just show you.

[Nya] Grab on! This mech isn't gonna last much longer!

[heroic music]

[suspenseful music]

Just a little longer!

[crashing]

[all coughing]

That was close!

[Nya groaning]

Thanks for saving us one last time.

Hey! I remember this place!

[Kai] This is the old Sam X cave!

[intriguing music]

Whoa!

[Jay] Ah, boy, is it good to see you!

Jay! Cole!

Zane, are you hurt?

I am fine.

Is it true that Harumi is behind all this?

I fear so. And they have destroyed our home.

Home is where your family is.

And we're all right here.

Not all of us. Not Lloyd.

[mechanical buzzing]

-Who's that? -May I introduce MiniPix.

I thought they didn't have names?

This one saved our lives.

Giving it a name seemed the least I can do.

[happy buzzing]

[monumental music]

Nice to meet you, MiniPix.

What does Harumi want with the Weapons of Spinjitzu?

We don't know. They didn't say.

But knowing Harumi, something bad.

Whatever her plan is, she's had a lot of time

to put it together.

She's been shadowing us for years.

Yeah. And Harumi is not the kind of person

you wanna give a head start to.

We need to find Lloyd, all hands on deck.

[Lloyd groaning]

Harumi, you don't have to do this.

[Lloyd] It's never too late to correct a mistake.

It's not a mistake, Lloyd.

I've thought about it carefully.

[Harumi] Balance is the problem.

It results in strife.

True peace will only be achieved when one side wins.

And darkness is stronger than light.

We're ready.

Put the weapons in place.

Aspheera, commence the ritual.

[ominous music]

Ven-ge-ictin. Ven-ge-quisay!

Ven-ge-ictin! Ven-ge-quisay!

Ven-ge-fosar! Ven-ge-jovit! Crystal King!

Ven-ge-ictin! Ven-ge-quisay!

Ven-ge-fosar! Crystal King!

Ven-ge-ictin! Ven-ge-quisay!

Ven-ge-fosar! Ven-ge-jovit!

Crystal King!

[eerie music]

Crystal King, my Lord!

Follow my voice!

It is I, Harumi! I summon you forth!

Break free of your bonds! Take form!

I summon you back to your rightful place

as supreme ruler of Ninjago!

[suspenseful music building]

[surging]

[Crystal King chuckling deeply]

[Crystal King ominous laughter]

[Crystal King] Yes.

What was it you said to me the last time we fought?

Oh, yes.

Overlord?

"It ends now."

[evil laughter]
