[circuits crackling]

[tense music playing]

[automated voice, over P.A.] Please have your ID ready

for your new household battery.

We are low on inventory,

so not everyone in line will be fortunate enough

to get a replacement at this time.

[crowd groaning]

Well, Percival did ask us to conserve energy.

I bet I could make it another day or two if I had to.

Wasn't like this when Empress Beatrix was in charge,

that's all I'm sayin'.

Beatrix was torturing dragons for power!

Which was terrible, of course.

Just didn't have an energy crisis before, is all I'm sayin'.

Starting a new government and infrastructure is not easy.

[energy fritzing]

-[groaning] -[crowd grumbling]

Seriously?

Ugh, another blackout?

[electricity crackling]

Third blackout this week!

Our temporary solves clearly aren't doing enough.

[sighing] Because this old grid is designed for dragon energy.

We need the time for a complete conversion,

all while running streetlights, public transportation,

-the Energy Barrier-- -That's it! The Energy Barrier!

That barrier is a leftover from Empress Beatrix.

Let's reroute that power for the people's energy.

But with the Claws gone,

using that barrier is Imperium's only line of defense.

Who are we defending ourselves from? This is an era of peace!

Shut it down!

[crowd cheering]

Ah, looks like that did the trick.

[crowd screaming in panic]

[screaming]

What is that thing?

[groaning weakly]

Come on, Riyu, pull through.

[labored breathing]

[sipping weakly]

He took a direct hit of whatever that monster was blasting.

I've never seen a dragon survive such a thing,

and I've seen a lot of dragons in battle.

He's always been a special dragon.

Do you think he could eat?

We make delicious Umbrasilvan wheat-cakes.

It's worth a shot, I guess.

Thank-- Thank you for all your help.

Thank you.

That dragon is a hero.

He saved our village--

You still tending to that beast?

Riyu is not a beast,

he's one of us, a Ninja, and you owe him your life,

-you uptight wad. -By Jove, I didn't realize

this subject would lead to such crass name-calling.

Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know

that monster is now safely contained in our airship

for future study and display.

In case you were wondering.

I-I'll just… see myself out then.

The Numbness.

The what?

[Wyldfyre] When dragons are exposed to a dangerous substance,

poisonous leffberries, the spray of a saber-toothed eel, stuff like that--

they can get something we call "The Numbness".

It's… usually fatal.

Usually?

I heard stories of Dragon Elders curing the Numbness

by converting a small amount of what caused it

-into an antidote. -Convert how?

I don't know! I'm just telling you what I heard.

Do I look like a dragon doctor?

So converting venom could help his body's natural defenses?

But he wasn't poisoned by the venom of a buck-toothed eel.

-Saber-toothed. -He was blasted by a monster!

Yeah, but that monster looked like it was made out of Elemental Energy.

So?

Look, before you joined the team, I didn't think I had my own powers.

-I thought Riyu gave them to me. -Weird, but okay.

Every time I got a spark of power,

I could feel the energy rolling through me, like a wave.

[Riyu groaning softly]

Like a substance that can affect the body.

Oh, so we reverse that monster's energy somehow,

and give it back to Riyu?

So when she says it, it sounds smart?

I just need to create something that can convert that kind of energy.

[Riyu groaning softly]

We don't have much advanced technology in Umbrasilvis,

but what little we have gathered is basically all here.

I hope it helps you save the hero dragon.

Oh, wow, thank you.

[cracking joints, exhaling]

[energy sputtering]

Ugh. How am I going to get to do this with our powers on the fritz?

[exhaling]

[energy sputtering]

[monster roaring]

Whoa!

[monster hissing]

-Hup! -H'yah!

[grunting]

[monsters growling]

H'yah! Y'ah!

Ah!

[groaning]

Y'ah!

[gasping]

[monsters growling]

[snarling]

[rotors whirring]

H'yah!

[epic music playing]

[Zane] Surprise-surprise!

H'ah!

Zane? How did you find us?

[Zane] When my powers got all janky…

…P.I.X.A.L. and I split up to search for you.

"J-Janky"?

I say "janky" now, Lloyd. H'yah!

I was flying over these woods and heard sounds of battle,

and guess who was right at the center of it?

And I see you're dealing with Elemental Monsters in this land as well.

H'yah! Oof!

They're in other places, too?

They're all-- Ugh! --over the place,

and nearly unbeatable!

H'yah!

[energy sputtering]

[disembodied whispering]

[epic music playing]

Ugh!

[Lloyd] Yes!

H'yah!

-Powers are back again! -Again?

Y'ah!

H'yah! Hup! Y'ah!

H'ah!

[Lloyd roaring]

Did we win?

I can sense trace readings of their energies,

yet I think they've moved on,

but why are our powers stable here?

[Lloyd] It won't last.

[energy sputtering]

I see. What a bummer.

Zane, did you… reprogram yourself or something?

"Bummer" didn't use to be in your vocab.

My time with P.I.X.A.L. did wonders for my disposition.

Some might say I'm more "chill,"

and when did you rejoin the team, Arin?

[chuckling] Oh, man, you've missed a lot!

[Lloyd] Including the reason our powers are messed up.

We did something that angered the Source Dragons,

so half of them pulled their powers from the Merged Lands.

I skip one adventure, and the entire world turns to chaos.

We're searching for a way to fix it all.

Any interest in helping us find something

called the Temple of the Green Ninja?

[printer whirring]

So, what even is a "Department of Vacation Simulation"?

Administration Employees earn vacation days,

but aren't allowed to actually go anywhere.

So we-- I mean, they--

go up and sit in Vacation Simulator chairs.

It tricks your brain into thinking you're at the beach,

the mountains, an amusement park, whatever.

So the Agents like that?

A Fake-Cation?

[laughing] A "Fake-Cation!" I should've thought of that one!

The Agents here don't even know it's weird.

Land of Madness, remember?

-[Nya] So how do we get there? -[Kai] Uh, the elevator, duh!

[Jay] That's how Agents go up and down floors!

-Don't be ridiculous. -Don't bite my head off.

Like you never had any bad ideas.

-As far as I remember, no, never. -[Kai scoffing]

[chuckling] When you get your memories back,

you're in for a rude awakening.

[P.A.] Attention all agents,

there are three Ninja within the confines of the building.

Please get to the nearest safety station…

[Jay] "Safety Station"?

…because the highly efficient Robo-Eliminators are now online.

[groaning softly]

Our family doesn't have much, but we made this with what we have.

Thank you.

-Gave up on your powers? -I built inventions by hand

long before I even knew what an elemental power was.

He's sinking deeper into the Numbness.

Whatever you're doing, Sora, do it faster.

Got it!

I should be a motivational speaker.

Time to collect some Elemental Monster energy.

Let's go!

[tube suction hissing]

What the--?

[drum music playing]

A speech is in order! [clearing throat] I'll give it.

[drum roll]

Members of the Umbrasilvian Expedition,

congratulations on my-- our-- great victory!

Defeating an unknown monster in open combat

and saving an innocent town!

Huzzah!

What?

Riyu did that!

Yes, yes, the dragon was helpful, and certainly deserves honorable mention,

but thankfully, we were the ones

who contained the creature, rendering it safe.

I built that containment unit.

And you did an excellent job…

of obeying me, since I led you do to it.

-What! -[sighing]

And now, thanks to my-- our skill,

we'll transport this unparalleled scientific discovery

to Ninjago,

where it can be put on display for the benefit of all…

and the profit of me--

uh-- us!

Huzzah!

Ugh! We don't have time for this!

[device powering up]

[snarling]

Excuse me. I don't know what you're doing,

but that's property of the Explorers Club,

and I forbid you to interfere with it in.

[Frak] Dad?

We need this right now.

It could save Riyu's life.

Well, why didn't you say so?

In that case, we should negotiate on how much to charge you for access to--

[device beeping]

[monster grunting]

Done.

Okay, yes, you were only able to do that because I gave you permission.

Permission granted!

[Zane] …so I said to P.I.X.A.L., how was I to know

the Ampfedrox incubate their offspring in containers that look like teacups?

She laughed for 45 seconds straight,

and I laughed for 52 seconds.

-It was quite an experience. -[Arin and Euphrasia laughing]

I'm… lost.

Let's take a break here. Try to get our bearings.

[Arin] Sounds good to me.

[peaceful music playing]

Remember when I was too scared to admit

-I had powers? -How could I forget?

Almost got eaten by a giant octopus thing.

But now that my powers don't work,

I'm scared that I can't protect the Cloud Kingdom anymore.

There's more to self-defense than powers.

Trust me, it's something I'm very familiar with.

Yeah, but you're like a Spinjitzu genius.

I could never do that.

I taught myself basic Spinjitzu alone.

Maybe I could teach you?

Really?

If you'd like me to.

Okay, it starts with balance.

Try this first position.

H'ah!

[forest birds warbling]

Why are you squinting?

Trying to sense where this temple could be.

By squinting?

By concentrating.

Ugh! I don't even know what I'm even doing!

Maybe your doubts are clouding your senses.

Don't focus on them.

How do I just not focus on doubts?

Sketch.

The forest, the rocks, anything that comes to mind.

When did you get into art?

Art is like… the opposite of you.

It's a way of processing problems without the constraints of logic-based thinking.

Trying to get away from logic? You?

Logic is an important and powerful tool,

but being too focused on it gets in the way of creativity.

Wow, Zane. This voyage with P.I.X.A.L. really did have an impact on you.

It did.

Love is also an important and powerful tool.

[disembodied whispering]

If it helps, think of drawing as a form of meditation.

Pencil to the paper, breathing.

-[inhaling] -[disembodied whispering grows]

Huh.

I think it worked.

[exciting music playing]

Please work.

[injection hissing]

-Why didn't you say anything? -What?

Your dad took credit for everything, and you just let him.

Look, no one knows how annoying he is more than I do,

but growing up, in my house, you didn't ever disagree with him.

Speaking your mind?

Not acceptable.

But you're not a kid anymore.

No.

No, I'm not.

[groaning]

Well?

No change.

[tense music playing]

-[Eliminator 1] Ninja located? -[Eliminator 2] Negative.

[Eliminator 1] Ninja must be located with efficiency

for purposes of… elimination.

[together] Eliminate! Eliminate!

Eliminate! Eliminate!

Uh, those things are supposed to be highly efficient?

For this place, absolutely.

Maybe they brought in an outside Efficiency Consultant?

We should be clear if we just go around-- Ooh.

Funny thing!

Sometimes people think we're Ninja, but we're just Ninja cosplayers.

[chuckling awkwardly]

[Eliminator 3] Sneaky Ninja lie… detected.

Eliminate! Eliminate!

[Sora] He just… He needs to be okay.

This little guy changed my life.

Little?

He'll always be a little guy to me.

-[Riyu's breath wheezing] -No…

[wheezing]

Come on.

Wh-What?

He's not getting better. Nothing's changing.

You said it would work.

I also said I'm not a dragon doctor, remember?

I just took a guess at how much energy he needed.

-Maybe he needs more? -We're losing him.

We need to keep trying until it works.

We'll be right back.

[can rattling]

It's gone.

Someone opened the Containment Unit and let it out.

-Who would--? -[nearby screaming]

[Eliminator 1] Locate Ninja. Eliminate!

[Jay] Now!

-Eliminate! Eliminate! -H'yah!

[beeping]

H'yah!

Nya! I'm thinking these bots are overworked!

[Nya] Then it sounds like they need a vacation!

[bots powering down]

Whee!

So, what Fake-Cation did we send them on?

Uh… the Land of Lee, Cavern Five.

Uh, Robots on water slides? How does that work?

As much as I'd love to ruminate on the physics of robots and water,

we came here for a reason.

Oh…

Agent Donovan wasn't lying.

This equipment that beams vacations into people's brains

could be used to block memories, in theory.

Not in theory. I'm proof,

but… can you reverse it?

Of course she can.

You can, can't you, sis?

Maybe?

What are we waiting for?

Hold it. This is risky.

I can't guarantee it's gonna work.

So? Then I don't get my memories back?

Big deal. I already don't have them.

No.

If this fails, we could damage your brain,

making it impossible for you to form new memories ever again.

Like a permanent state of amnesia?

[Nya] Yes.

Doesn't matter.

Let's do it.

Jay, think this through.

You're here, with us, back on the team.

You can relearn Spinjitzu.

We can make new memories, better than the old ones.

He's right. You're still the Jay I love

-even without your memories. -You know why I have to do this.

I had a whole life,

apparently a whole wonderful life, with all of you,

and I can't go on another moment without remembering it.

This might hurt.

[typing rapidly]

[epic music playing]

[screaming]

Turn it off. Turn it off! It's hurting him!

I think this is how it works!

[screaming]

[epic music continues]

-[screaming] -[machine powering down]

Oh, no…

Oh, no!

[Kai's voice muffled] Jay?

You with us, buddy?

[triumphant music playing]

I'll take that as a yes.

[smooching noises]

All right, we get it. That's enough.

-[smooching noises] -Come on, dude, that's my sister!

So he heard whispers, then drew a map?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm a Writer of Destiny, but…

-I'm not sure-- -[Lloyd] We're here.

We are?

[Euphrasia] Whoa!

We are.

[disembodied whispering]

[closing theme music playing]
