[ethereal music playing]

For the glory of the Sources.

[bushes rustling]

Greetings, traveler.

[Chief Loyalist] This is it? The Shrine of the Seven Sources?

Yes. Have you come to pay homage to our humble shrine?

[Chief Loyalist] "Humble" is right.

I expected something a little more impressive.

Praise of the Source Dragons has little to do with outward displays…

only inner devotion.

[Chief Loyalist] How very "enlightened" of you.

So, each column channels the presence of the power of one of the Source Dragons?

You've done your research.

As long as a Dragon's energy flows through the lands,

its column will glow forth as a tribute.

Sadly, one of the Source Dragons has passed,

but one day, when the cycle renews, all--

Yes, "Praise the Sources" or whatever,

but have you observed any fluctuations

or anomalies in the power distribution recently?

Uh… I'm… I'm sorry,

I… I don't understand the question.

[scoffs] I'm looking for any indication of--

[rumbling]

…of that!

[gasping]

[Chief Loyalist] Ha! Just as I hypothesized.

Source withdrawal.

I'm… I'm sure this outage is only temporary.

Besides, we still have five mighty sources--

[gasping]

No cause for alarm. There are still a majority--

-[gasping] -[crackling and rumbling]

-[Acolytes gasping] -[Acolyte] A majority of sources

have removed their power from the lands!

Great Dragons, why have you forsaken us mortals?

[gasping]

[bubbling]

[snarling]

[roaring]

-[Acolytes screaming] -[monsters roaring]

[roaring]

[acid hissing]

[screaming]

As predicted, the manifestations have already begun.

The foolish Ninja have played right into our hands.

The quest for Desolation begins now.

[Lloyd] He was called "Thunderfang,

the Shatter Dragon of Chaos."

[Arin] Scary name, scary dragon.

Also long name, long dragon. Only way to beat him?

Summon Thunderfang's old nemesis,

the Arc Dragon of Focus.

[Lloyd] Classic match-up, Chaos versus Focus,

but Thunderfang was so powered up,

the Focus Dragon couldn't do it alone.

[Arin] So we helped guide them.

I know it sounds unbelievable,

but our minds were, like, sharing a dragon's brain!

[Lloyd] With the Focus Dragon's help, we beat Thunderfang for good.

World saved!

[Arin] But some dragons are not happy

for summoning that Arc Dragon without their permission.

[Lloyd] So, we were heading back to Ninjago

when I felt something weird going on with my powers.

Then we went through the portal gate--

And it spat us out here.

Wherever "here" is,

it's obviously not home, so we tried to go back through the portal--

-And it wouldn't work. -Totally inactive,

but how are you here?

Basically same?

Minus the dragon mind-brain thing.

I was in the Cloud Kingdom, felt my Powers going weird.

I wanted to ask you Ninja about it, but…

when I went through the gate, it sent me here.

Sorry you got stranded too,

but it's nice to see you again.

So you have no idea what happened?

To our powers or the Portal Gates?

[Lloyd] No idea.

Let's check out the neighborhood. It might have some answers.

[Arin] Wow…

It's beautiful.

You Cloud Monks record stuff about all the lands, right?

Any idea where we are?

My focus is the Wyldness late medieval period.

I've never seen anything quite like this place.

Me neither.

Hopefully the other Ninja aren't having the same problems we are.

[Nya] This is not Ninjago.

We needed to get back to Ninjago.

Why is the Portal Gate malfunctioning?

What's also weird? When we left Mysterium, it was day.

Now it's the middle of the night.

[Jay] A cloudy night. No moons, no stars.

[Kai] A fireball should light things up.

-[spluttering] -Oh, yeah, guess what.

Elemental Powers are also on the fritz.

Hold on, let me try this. H'yah!

[groaning]

[laughing]

I was feeling bummed

about our powers not working right, but that made me feel a little better.

I'll remember this when you end up zapping yourself

with a giant lightning storm.

Nya, can't you get the Portal Gate going?

[Nya] Get it going how?

It's powered down.

We don't even know how or why it spat us out here.

Um…

Take us to Ninjago!

See? Nothing.

Looks like we have to find another way back to Ninjago.

I say we wait till sun-up

so we can see where we are, then take it from there.

Hey, Kai, we're gonna need a campfire.

Think you could, um…

[scoffing] Of course I can. Hah! H'yah!

You set him up for that on purpose,

-didn't you? -Hmm.

[Sora] Portal Gates are usually in monasteries,

and I don't see a monastery around here,

unless--

[grunting] Come on, come on!

If I can't blast fireballs, who even am I?

[Frak] Wait…

Feel that? Like a little tremor? You felt that, right?

-[Riyu grumbling negatively] -[groaning] You're right.

Who am I kidding?

There was no tremor! If I can't quake, what'll I do?

What am I even good for?

Your powers don't give you worth.

Of course they are!

Yeah, what are you talking about, Sora?

Please freak out like us.

I was solving problems long before I had an Elemental Power.

And this is a problem.

I mean, the portal gate spit us out in some random, unknown spot?

-Why? -And our powers.

Don't forget our powers problem.

Kai will know what's going on. We need to get back to Ninjago.

Yeah, but without a working Portal Gate, looks like we're walking.

And in which direction?

And…

Wait.

It's dawn everywhere.

So, this kinda makes knowing what direction to go a little hard, right?

A little.

[stomach grumbling]

I can hear your stomachs growling.

I've got these wafers left.

-It wasn't my stomach, for once. -Not me either.

Plus, I'd rather starve than eat those.

What's with the miserable faces?

It's not like this is the first time we've been stuck in some unknown place.

Remember the Never-Realm?

Or in Prime Empire, when…

Oh…

right.

You don't remember any of that.

No, I don't.

Back in the City of Temples, do you know why I left?

-We hadn't paid you yet? -No!

I was watching you all, the way you worked together,

more like a family than a team…

a family I had no memory of,

and that made me feel more lonely than I'd ever felt.

I had to get away.

But as soon as I was gone, I regretted it,

especially after what you said to me, Nya.

I don't know if you'll ever get those memories back, Jay,

but we're together now. We can build new memories.

But that's just it.

The more time I spend with you, I realize…

I need more than new memories.

I need to remember the first time we met.

The first time we danced.

The first time I made you smile.

Those memories can't be gone forever.

They have to be somewhere in your mind.

We just have to find a way to bring them back.

[bird tweeting]

-[birds chirping] -[classical music playing]

[low rumbling]

Zane, are you okay?

I'm not sure, P.I.X.A.L.

I feel… off.

My powers… are gone?

-[spluttering] -[yelping] Ah!

-[birds retreating, chirping in alarm] -Something's very wrong.

I've gotta find the other Ninja.

There are plenty of worse places to get stranded, I guess,

and after everything we've been through, I'm cool with a little peace.

Yeah, this is the exact opposite of fighting undead dragons.

Or crawling through the Underworld.

You went to the Underworld?

I feel like Ras dragged me everywhere.

Ras?

The guy that attacked Cloud Kingdom?

Who talks all, "No one will stop me, I'm so mean, roar-roar," and stuff?

Yeah. A lot's happened since we last hung out, Euphrasia.

I even stupidly left the Ninja team.

You did what you thought you needed to do.

I was so caught up in problems,

I should've seen what you were going through.

You have so many responsibilities. I don't blame you for that, Lloyd.

I should have taught you proper Spinjitzu.

Ras showed me how to do that, yes, but I'm not sure it was the best way.

He… exploited my anger.

I can't believe you have an angry bone in your body.

I was mad at Master Wu for causing the Merge.

I blamed him for the death of my parents,

but my parents were still alive.

I should never have trusted Ras.

Master Wu caused the Merge?

Why?

You have no idea how badly I wish I knew the answer to that question.

-[wind gusting] -[faint whispering]

-You hear that? -Is someone there?

[disembodied whispering]

[disembodied whispering]

Odd.

[wind gusting]

[whispers swirling]

Okay, a little bit creepy.

Maybe a lot a bit creepy.

-[woodland birds] -[disembodied whispering]

Is someone following us?

We don't even know if anyone lives here.

We haven't seen any trails, not even footprints.

-[disembodied whispering] -Could the trees be whispering?

[whispers swirling and growing]

Follow the whispers!

[Frak] …and that's why we should obviously head that way,

toward those large, pleasant trees.

But I hear running water over there.

I'm sure it's clean and refreshing,

and unless you brought a hose or a camel, we're going to need some.

No, we need to get to the Monastery of Ninjago, not to trees or water.

As the most accomplished Ninja here, I think we--

Most accomplished Ninja?

Most accomplished at what, being annoying?

I'll be leading this little group, thank you very much.

[chuckling] Listen, before he died,

Egalt, one of the greatest dragons to ever live,

told me I'd be a leader someday.

-I'm thinking that day is today. -No offense to Egalt,

but even great masters get things wrong sometimes.

[Frak] That doesn't change the fact I was studying the Ninja

before you even heard of Spinjitzu.

Really? Was that when you were working for Ras?

You worked for him after I did.

[Sora] I was hanging with Arin. Ras just happened to be there.

-[Frak] You still did what Ras said. -[Sora groans]

[Cole] Hello? Anyone?

The place is empty.

Last I remember, something invisible attacked me,

then I woke up here.

You were in Spectral Sleep, and I was so focused on trying to save you,

I made some stupid mistakes and got my soul drained, too.

I just hope Kai and the others pulled through.

[gasping]

Make sure you keep her healing leaves warm with your hands.

That's how my grandmother did it.

Oh, no, what happened here?

[Geo] Ras happened.

Are you okay?

I'll be fine, but I don't know about Rontu there.

[groaning]

What did Ras come here for?

No clue.

He forced me to take him to Master Wu's old study,

and I think he took something,

but I don't know what, or why.

Then he left through the Portal Gate. Whatever Ras is up to,

it can't be good.

It never is.

-[disembodied whispers swirling] -Where is this taking us?

-[distant shrieking and roaring] -That sounds bad.

[beings shrieking]

[roaring]

[shrieking]

[shrieking]

[roaring]

[roaring]

[Euphrasia gasping] What are those things?

No idea, but you thinking what I'm thinking?

[Lloyd] Ninja… go!

[smacking]

[grunting] Ugh, this is the worst!

[roaring]

[Lloyd groaning]

[Euphrasia straining, wind gusting]

[powers spluttering]

Oh! Uh, sorry! Accident! I'm usually better at that!

[Arin] These are the weirdest Elemental Masters I've ever seen.

I don't think they're masters. I think they're made of Elemental Powers.

[snapping claws]

[Arin] What? How is that even possible?

Don't ask me. Wu didn't prepare me for anything like this!

[roaring]

Oh! Uh…

Never used one of these before, but, uh…

[acid hissing]

[roaring]

Uh-oh.

H'ah!

[roaring]

Ah!

[Arin] Get to safety!

[grunting] H'yah!

[acid hissing]

[monster screeching]

[Lloyd struggling]

[Lloyd] No!

[disembodied whispering]

What the…?

[whispers swirling]

[bursting and sparking]

[triumphant music playing]

H'yah!

H'ah! H'yah!

[Arin] Lloyd got his powers working?

[gasping] I'm back too!

[monster groaning]

[sparking and crackling]

Uh… did we… destroy them?

[sighing] Not sure.

If they're pure elemental power,

they may have… changed to another form.

-[sparking and spluttering] -Aw, no!

-[groaning] Come on. -[sighing] Too good to last.

Can I just say, this place might be beautiful,

but it is weird!

-[chittering, squeaking] -[Euphrasia laughing]

Guess they're happy we saved them?

[chittering]

[Arin] Follow them?

Don't have any better ideas.

[beings chittering]

Weird, but cute.

[wind gusting]

[sniffing and snuffling]

Another reason I should be the leader? If it wasn't for me,

we'd still be fighting that puppet in the desert.

You stop a puppet, and you think you're our leader?

It was a big puppet!

Man, all this walking has made me thirsty.

Then you should've listened when I said follow the sound of running water!

Looks like we don't need to.

[Sora] How did we not see that before?

Who cares? [sighing]

You're right about one thing, all this walking…

[slurping]

…I could use a rest.

Hmm, perfect! What are the chances?

[stomach growling]

Oh, wish we brought some food.

I could use a Wyldmelon right about now.

[Arin] Okay, so, thinking this through,

both of your Elemental Powers are acting strange,

the Portal Gates aren't working,

and monsters that look like pure elemental energy show up.

[Euphrasia] You think it's all related?

It's a good question,

and how did these trees give me my powers back,

at least for a little while?

I didn't get a tree blast like you did, but mine still came back.

[Lloyd] I hope these guys are leading us to answers.

[deep rumbling]

[epic music playing]

[groaning]

[heaving and rumbling]

-[beings chittering] -[gasping] Wow…

-[disembodied whispering] -[wind gusting]

Whoa…

Is that a Source Dragon?

I… don't think so?

-[rumbling and stretching] -[quietly] Are we supposed to say hi?

Greetings, mighty dragon. My name is--

[telepathically] I know who you are, Lloyd, Son of Garmadon.

My trees sensed the Elemental Master of Life

the moment you arrived in our wood, and sent their whispers to me.

We had long given up on the Legendary Green Ninja

ever returning to us.

Returned?

For generations, the Protector of the Whispering Wood

has performed their duties,

but you are the first who ignored those duties,

and we have long felt betrayed.

What…?

[roaring mightily]

[Chief Loyalist] …and so, all I've hypothesized has been proven.

Without realizing it, our enemies have inadvertently set in motion

their own downfall, and our restoration.

The energy manifestations have already begun.

-[applauding] -Ha! A triumph!

But these creatures, what do they want?

Want? Why, nothing. They are beings of rage and destruction

born from the imbalance of Source Energy, as manifested by the Weapon.

If we back trace a manifestation, we'll find the origin point,

the location of the Weapon of Desolation.

-[Loyalists applauding and laughing] -Well done! Yes!

Now, go. Search your assigned regions!

Find the weapon! Let nothing stand in your way!

Her time will finally come again.
