NARRATOR Previously on Ninjago:


WU It's going to be up to you four


to find the Realm Crystal before he does.


You'll hand over the crystal, or say goodbye to your friend.


LLOYD But now Ninjago's gonna be cursed.


Yes, but now we have you.

REPORTER [ON TV] Season of change is almost to an end


and residents of Ninjago eagerly await


to celebrate tonight's New Year festival.


SKYLOR Hard to believe you don't have friends


to usher in the New Year.


Let's say I'm good at making friends, not keeping them.


Huh. Even a friend who spoils the party every once in a while


is still a better friend than someone who stays away.


It's okay. I've been around enough weapons in my day.


In fact, kind of reminds me of some old friends.


How much do I owe you? It's on the house, friend.


Huh. Appreciate it.


Festival celebration is going on all over Ninjago.


Hey, mind turning that up?


REPORTER But not only in Ninjago.


Other cities in every corner... You know that sewer swamp?


...are celebrating this festival.


Yeah. I used to call it home.


And no other town likes to celebrate more


than the residents in Stiix county.


[♪♪♪]


ALL Wow!


Oh, that's awesome.


[♪♪♪]


Now let's shed a little light.


[GRUNTS]


It's good to be back.


How long until the Preeminent is ready?


Her energy is still too strong to cross the ethereal divide.


The longer the gateway stays open, the stronger it becomes.


We must prepare for her arrival.


Then what are we waiting for? Let the festivities begin.


[♪♪♪]


[GASPS] [GROWLS]


[ALL SCREAMING]


[LAUGHS]


[♪♪♪]


[SCREAMING]


[LAUGHS]


Hey, my dragon!


[ROARS]


Shouldn't we be going to Stiix?


The longer we wait, the worse it'll get.


We need to stock up.


On what? Magic tea that will make us invincible?


Give us special powers? Is it gonna give us four arms?


Sadly, no magical tea today.


I had to sell the rest of the merchandise


along with everything else.


What? You sold your business?


But that was for your retirement.


Ah! Hello again, ninja.


While we were away, I had Borg use the money from the tea farm


to create us some new toys to balance the scales.


They are expensive, you know.


It's been so long, I hardly recognize any of you.


Lloyd looks older.


I see a water ninja.


A titanium nindroid.


Cole is...a ghost. Heh.


Jay looks shorter.


And then there's Kai.


Hey. What do you mean I look shorter?


Sorry, Dr. Borg, but cut to the chase. We don't have much time.


Yes, always the impatient one.


Come, let me show you.


[♪♪♪]


If you want a little muscle with that hustle,


I've made Jay a lightning-fast Ghost Taker GT.


Front spectral intake, rear incorporeal storage.


Why did the ghost cross the street?


Oh, I don't know, maybe 'cause he saw me coming in that!


BORG Zane's Ice Mech.


Sure it appears to be the same,


but I've equipped the underarms


with Deepstone particle sh**t,


allowing you to freeze the competition.


Super cool.


And I mean quite literally.


Cole, I've made you a Ghost Cycle.


Twin carbine blasters, auto-evasive handling.


Made entirely of Deepstone,


perfectly molded to fit the, uh...bodiless.


And I've set all the radio presets to your favorite:



soft rock.


I do love a slow jam.


[SOFT ROCK PLAYING]


Whoa!


And for you, Kai.


A headband.


A personal embroidered headband.


Thirty-two thread count, easy tie capabilities.


I apologize.


I lost track of the time building the other vehicles.


Same goes for you, Lloyd.


To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure you'd be making it back.


Hey, I'm just happy to be here.


We'll take any help we can get.


I hear Moro has opened a bridge between our two realms.


It'll take time for the Preeminent to cross.


Which is why we need Lloyd to use his powers


to destroy the Realm Crystal before that happens.


If Ninjago is cursed,


the other realms are sure to follow.


But they'll be expecting us.


And Moro still has the Sword of Sanctuary.


Even with all these fancy new vehicles,


how are we supposed to get close?


Yeah, we're supposed to take on an army of ghosts?


Maybe I can lure him out.


He said he always wanted to be the Green Ninja.


No. He will not leave the Realm Crystal unguarded


until his master is freed.


But even with our powers back, he's seen all of our moves.


Then we'll show him something he hasn't...


[NYA GRUNTING] ...a water ninja.


NYA But I've just started my training.


I haven't even found my true potential.


Nya, when our parents passed, you were there for me.


Now I'm here for you. COLE He's right.


She's our greatest w*apon.


And as brother sharpens brother, the same should go for a sister.


Our greatest power isn't what we can throw at him.


It's what we have right here.


A united team.


So, what do you think, Nya?


Are you ready to lead them into battle?


I'm in.


But if they know we're coming straight for them,


how about we show them not every path is a straight line?


Intrigued. Do you have a plan?


I'll explain on the way.


WAITER Captain, dinner is ready.


Just keep the food coming.


These ghosts' appetites is like nothing I've seen. Go.


[♪♪♪]


[WHIMPERS]


[EXCLAIMS]


No!


No, no, no!


[WAITER HOWLS]


[PANTING]


[EXCLAIMING]


Oh, you poor people. Aah!


[SCREAMS]


Bon appétit.


[♪♪♪]


The gateway is becoming more stable.


Soon.


Any sign of the ninja?


No, but we have two spooks


for every nook and cranny in this watering hole.


And even if they do show,


any one of us they strike down


can simply return through the portal.


You're invincible, Moro.


I thought that once before.


Let them revel,


but we must not let our guard down.


Don't worry, Moro, soon you will be the Green Ninja,


and then the realms will be ours.


[GHOSTS CLAMORING]


[DRAGON ROARS]


[GROWLS]


Wu.


A special delivery, I presume?


Let me talk to my pupil.


It doesn't have to end this way.


Sensei.


I was wondering when you were gonna show up.


Moro.


You think I'll just let you stroll right in?


Your wisdom fails you in your old age.


Last chance, Moro.


You may no longer be my pupil,


but I still can teach you a lesson.


My ninja are well-trained,


and they will defeat every last one of you.


Give up now, or forever rest in peace.


Take them.


[♪♪♪]


You think I'd ever let the ninja in my town?


Foolish old man.


[♪♪♪]



[GHOSTS LAUGH]


I'm starving.


I'm deadly hungry.


Give me food.


I want burgers.


I'm just-- So good.


Anyone have eyes on the Realm Crystal?


It appears to be inside what used to be


Ronan's pawnshop in the center of town.


Moro's there, and it's highly guarded.


[DRAGON ROARS]


Do you think we can get Lloyd in there to destroy it?


I don't know if we'll pull Moro away long enough.


Yeah, well, that's the plan.


Everyone in position? Let's do this.


[♪♪♪]


Tea, anyone? Yes, please.


[SCREAMS]


[GHOSTS HISS]


You fool.


[GHOSTS GRUNT]


[CRANE WHIRRING]


Hey, move back!


Thanks!


Oh!


Watch it.


Sorry. It slipped.


[♪♪♪]


[PLAYING SOFT ROCK SONG ON PHONOGRAPH]


Get ready. It's almost time.


[SOFT ROCK SONG PLAYING FASTER ON PHONOGRAPH]


[ROAR]


[♪♪♪]


[ROARING]


SOUL ARCHER Look what we have here.


MORO The Green Ninja. So rude.


Hasn't anyone told you it's not polite to be late to the party?


[GHOSTS LAUGHING]


Now that we've got him, what do you want us to do with him?


Surely it's not just you.


I know your ninja are never far.


Come out, come out, wherever you are.


I have your beloved Green Ninja.


[GHOSTS LAUGHING]


You think you can come into my home


and steal the crystal I rightfully earned?


You think I'll just hand it to you


just like the green gi was handed to you?


Tell me. Tell all of us that I'm better than you,


and I'll let you go.


What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?


[GRUNTS] [GHOSTS GASP]


Sorry, I couldn't hear you.


I'm still a little wet behind the ears.


She's a water ninja. She's...


Protect the Realm Crystal.


[♪♪♪]


Plan to get him away from the Realm Crystal worked.


We'll clear a path for you, then you can do the rest.


Let's do this.


[♪♪♪]


Look at that, we're back.


Let's get them.


[GHOSTS GROANING]


[GRUNTS]


[GRUNTING]


Yeah.


[DRAGONS ROAR]


Chill out!


Ha, ha! It feels good to have our powers back.


Ice!


It's time we get these people out of here.


Everyone, stand back.


[♪♪♪]


[HORN HONKS]


Even better to have a new ride.


Hey, you scratched my brand-new car!


Ha, ha! Sucker.


[♪♪♪]


[GHOSTS LAUGHING]


[CAR ENGINE REVVING]


Uh, Jay, a little help?


On my way.


JAY Whoo-hoo!


Thanks.


Great job, Jay.


GHOST Oh, this is good. So good.


Hey, look, a ninja.


[♪♪♪]


JAY Dinner is served.


[JAY YELLING]


Cole, on the roof!


The ninja are winning.


Get out there and stop them.


[♪♪♪]


[GRUNTS]


Keep going, Lloyd. You're almost there.


[LAUGHS] [GASPS]


Ice!


Particle sh**t disabled.



My ice can't stop them.


I'm coming to help.


Hey!


NYA [GRUNTS] He's too strong.


I can't keep this going.


You have to, Nya. You can do it.


Ha! Thirty-two thread count.


You monster.


No!


[GRUNTING]


Is that all? Is that all you've got?


[♪♪♪]


Hey.


Looks like this is just between us.


The green gi belongs to me now.


[LAUGHS]


You think I'm gonna make this easy?


Let's see how good you are.


[GRUNTING]


Stay strong, Lloyd.


I'm stronger, Lloyd. I always have been.


And I've been inside your head. I know what you're afraid of.


You could never do it alone, could you? Weak.


You need others, but I, I need no one.


The Preeminent is about to arrive.


Lloyd's running out of time.


What are you waiting for, Lloyd, an invitation?


If you want the Realm Crystal, earn it.


I did learn a thing or two with you in my head.


Whoa!


[♪♪♪]


Lloyd.


Watch your step. The fall can be a doozy.


[GRUNTS]


[SCREAMING]


What's wrong, too hard for you?


This is the end of the line, Lloyd.


I'll miss you.


Better late than never.


I saved up a lot for this moment.


[RONAN GRUNTS]


[SCREAMS]


[SCREAMS]


Where's Moro? He's gone.


[GRUNTING]


MORO Stop!


Please, don't.


This isn't your world anymore, Moro.


You had your chance.


The Realm Crystal must be destroyed.


The First Spinjitzu Master never wanted us to have it.


But if you destroy it,


you destroy any chance of ever saving your father.


There he is. Lloyd, get out of there.


Yes. Yes, I've seen him.


He waits for you... Windows are blocked.


...locked up in the Cursed Realm.


Destroy the crystal.


The gateway will be wiped out. Use your spinjitzu.


You'll never get a chance to see your beloved daddy again.


Lloyd, get out!


Uh... You... You've seen him? KAI Lloyd!


No. He'd do everything to save Ninjago,


and you would do everything to destroy it.


The Realm Crystal must be destroy--


KAI Lloyd! NYA What is that?


It's taken him. No!


KAI Oh, no. The gateway is complete.


ZANE No. My master has arrived.


Lloyd! LLOYD No!


It must be destroyed.


[GRUNTING] No!


NYA What now?


KAI This isn't good.


[MORO LAUGHING]


You have it wrong.


Ninjago must be destroyed.


Say hello to your father for me.


ZANE No! [NYA SCREAMS]
