[Mr. Frohicky] …well, they try in their own way,

but not one of them I would consider a fine chef.

Kai can defrost pizza.

Poorly.

Had lots of time to learn how to cook in the Land of Lost Things.

Tons of ingredients show up there.

I once found a tray of diced garlic.

Oh, I reeked for a month, but, mm… delicious!

Well, having you here has made the part of my job

where I'm expected to be a Master Chef easier. [chuckling]

Now, if you could learn to polish a floor…

Come on, play with us!

Oh, I'm not that healed yet.

I'll just watch you two.

[kids laughing playfully]

Ah, refreshments.

Mm.

Ah, I've been parched.

Glad to you see you doing so well, Rontu.

We, uh, had some doubts you would pull through.

You are not the only one.

I must confess, I had lost hope myself.

Well, fetid salamander broth is such a strong, natural medicine,

it could grow skin on a Greenbone Warrior!

[chuckling politely] Yes…

though the broth did taste…

[clearing throat] …fine,

my return was more spiritual.

I spoke to an old love, and discovered a new purpose.

My work on this plane is not done.

Nope, pretty sure it was the broth.

[sniffing] That smells good. Geo, are you cooking here now?

Yup, but I have to go out and buy ingredients,

not wait for a geyser to burp them up.

Apparently, that's more reliable

than sending Arin's parents off with a grocery list.

They've been gone for--

[panting] There was an attack in the Crossroads!

Some kind of energy monster!

-Energy monster? -Came out of nowhere.

We got people to safety, but then it just disappeared

as weirdly as it appeared.

Smashed the whole place up.

And this monster kept you from getting the fermented beetles why?

No, they did the right thing, Mr. Frohicky.

But an energy monster?

Ras stole scrolls about containing energy.

Maybe the puzzle pieces are all in a row…

Um, "falling into place."

Ducks are in a row, pieces fall into place.

I… I knew that.

Did you see the Monster that attacked, and where it went?

Saw it?

Dang near blasted my hair off!

Then the thing just evaporated into thin air.

[scanner warbling]

Not suspicious behavior at all.

[Cole groaning]

[crowd shouting with effort]

[Cole groaning]

Anyone-- ow--

see where that person in the mask ran off to?

[mumbling uncertainly]

[groaning]

Well, looks like I stumbled into something painfully nefarious.

[audible smooching]

Uh… you two done yet?

-You remember everything now? -Not everything.

As soon as that machine processed, I got a flood of memories,

but more keep popping up, and I don't know what I don't know,

so who knows how many more memories I'm gonna recall.

-But you're back? -I'm back.

So, does that mean you remember the time you fought Bolobo

-in just your underpants? -That one's…

not ringing a bell.

What about convincing video game fan boys to dress up like you,

-and talk about how awesome you were? -Nope.

-Not that one either. -Are you sure?

Maybe you just don't want to remember those stories.

'Cause, if I were you, I'd try to forget them too.

No, I'm serious.

It feels like my memories are "healing", just repopulating my mind.

And who erased your memories in the first place?

That… I still don't remember,

yet, but I'm sure it'll--

[gasping] Oh my!

[sobbing uncontrollably]

Uh… you okay, buddy?

Mr. Slowthers!

[sobbing]

Poor Mr. Slowthers.

Who is Mr. Slowthers?

My turtle! [sniffling]

My pet turtle I had when I was a little kid!

He ran away, and I couldn't catch up to him!

You couldn't catch up to a… turtle?

Apparently, I wasn't very good at running as a kid, okay?

Leave me alone!

I know getting your memories back in weird bursts like this

has got to be a shock, and I'm sure Mr. Slowthers

found a new safe place somewhere, but we gotta do the same.

The Administration is not going to stop looking for us.

Come on.

I bet these robots are guarding all the exits.

Curses on whoever came up with these things.

[Lead Agent] Attention, Delta League, another unauthorized energy being

spotted in Region 412. Assemble a convoy!

Copy that.

[weapons charging]

[engines revving]

Agents, roll out!

[tires squealing]

[distant wailing]

[Lloyd screaming]

[gasping]

[roots stretching]

[ethereal music playing]

[gasping]

[gasping]

Wha…

[grunting]

Hello?

Where'd you go?

-What was all that? -[wind gusting]

You're not gonna explain the meaning of that?

It looked like a forest, sharing energy?

Helping other trees out?

Hello?

What was I supposed to learn from that?

[tween Lloyd] Oh, you're gonna find out…

Another version of me?

But… I don't recognize you.

Of course you don't. I never existed.

I am the you you skipped over, but on this journey,

you have to know everything about your life…

even paths not walked.

My path.

You're the age I skipped over because of the Tomorrow's Tea.

The age when I was supposed to hear the calling of the Whispering Wood.

Pleased to finally… meet you.

[Euphrasia] Uh, is this right?

I don't feel the balance you-- Arin?

Sorry, I just… He's been in there all night.

I'm sure he's fine.

Okay, not sure, but isn't that why we're training?

To not to focus on what's out of our control?

Yeah. Okay.

So your stance is slightly off.

The twist shouldn't put pressure on your knee, you'll get injured that way.

It should come from your core, like this…

Arin, I notice you have red streaks in your tornado.

Why is that?

Uh…

No one else has them? Is that weird?

I've never encountered it before.

Is my Spinjitzu corrupted or something?

Did training with Ras do something bad to me?

I'm sure there's no reason to be alarmed. I'd just like to study it more--

-[Acona chittering] -The Acona?

[chittering urgently]

I'm getting the sense they want us to go with them.

Are we going to just leave Lloyd?

We'll come back,

but if these beings need help, Lloyd would want us to help them.

[tires squealing]

We're here looking into reports of a monster on an unlicensed rampage.

Did you report a monster? Because there's clearly no ongoing rampage.

Filing a false report is a severe policy violation,

punishable by being made to fill out many reports about the false report.

Do you have anything to say in your defense?

Here's the situation-- I'm taking control of your convoy.

You've got one chance to give me your vehicles.

If not, I take them by force, which will go badly for you.

Ha!

Look, not only are you unarmed, and badly outnumbered,

but you've clearly got no idea who you're dealing with.

We're from The Administration!

[Lead Loyalist] I warned you.

[snapping fingers]

Huah! [charging weapons]

[Lead Loyalist] You're the one with no idea--

no idea how many of our secret society

have infiltrated every organization across the Merged Lands.

Bonnie, no!

You love stamping C-01 permits!

You always smile--

I was faking it, every single time.

[Lead Loyalist] Attack!

[blasting and shouting]

Ah!

Ugh! Ah!

-[Nya] We've gotta get out there! -Which side would we even join?

We need to see how this plays out.

He's right. Let's see what's going on.

-[Lead Agent] Agents, retreat! -[yelping in panic]

[Lead Loyalist] We've got what we need.

[whistling] Mech Drivers, you know what to do!

[smashing]

[Lead Loyalist] Success! All hail the Good Empress!

"Good Empress"?

As in Beatrix, the whacked-out, power-hungry maniac?

She sounds kinda fun.

-No. -She's not.

Come! We must find the weapon piece!

[Nya] Weapon? Great…

Last time Beatrix got her hands on a super weapon,

she triggered a world-ending series of Merge-quakes!

That was her? That was messed up!

Whatever this new "weapon" is, we have to keep it out of her hands.

[chittering]

[blasts sizzling]

[chittering in distress]

[snarling]

[growling]

[bellowing]

[branches cracking]

[foliage crumbling]

Ninja… Go!

[bellowing]

[Zane] Ah!

[snarling]

[gasping]

Aw…

[leaves crumbling]

[bellowing]

[mystical music playing]

How can a tree be growing underground with no sunlight?

-It's-- -[Jay] It's madness.

The Land of Madness!

This is it.

Behold!

A portion of the Weapon of Desolation!

The Good Empress is one step closer to making her triumphant return!

[Loyalists cheering]

Pack it up! We move.

[laughing loudly]

[laughter muffled]

[laughing uncontrollably]

[slightly muffled]

[laughter reverberating]

What are you doing?

Hee-hee-he hit every branch on the way down!

-[cackling] -[Nya] What?!

Ninja are here!

[laughing]

I'm sorry, I can't help it!

A memory just suddenly hit me!

This time, I hid Cole's cake at the top of a tree!

He slipped and fell, and hit every single branch on the way down!

-H'ah! -H'yah!

[laughing]

[chuckling] That was pretty funny.

-[Nya] H'yah! -Cover my back!

[Nya] Huah! H'yah!

[Kai] Ooh-ah! H'ah!

H'yah!

I'll take that, thank you!

-[power surging] -[Kai screaming]

-[screams echoing] -Ah!

[Nya] Oof!

-[Jay] Nya! -[Nya] I'm fine!

They're getting away!

[activating device]

-[energy detonating] -[Ninja] Ah!

[slamming force field]

[frustrated grunting]

What happened to you back there?

I touched that thing, and my body was flooded

with uncontrollable Elemental Energy.

Real weird.

Whatever a "Weapon of Desolation" is, we can't let it get to Beatrix!

[Arc Dragon stomping]

[thudding of battle]

[foliage crumbling]

[monster snarling]

[Acona chittering]

[Arin] Ah!

[chittering]

Huah!

Ugh! That kinda worked.

If I could do it faster…

Hold it, I got an idea!

When I say when, toss me rocks!

Now!

It's working. Keep 'em coming!

[bellowing]

[Zane] H'ah!

[Zane grunting]

Huah!

[Arin] Phew!

[gasping in exhaustion]

[groaning]

Arin!

That was beyond all predictive models.

No one has ever used spinjitzu that way.

It shouldn't even be possible.

[sighing] I need a nap.

The monsters have returned to an energy state.

They will come back,

and there's no telling if Arin will be able to stop them again.

[bellowing wearily]

Lloyd is our only hope.

If he doesn't succeed in his trial, the Whispering Wood will be lost.

I'm not saying you're the coolest dragon I've ever seen now, Riyu,

but you're not not the coolest dragon I've ever seen!

[grumbling language]

[grumbling language]

[roaring]

Whoa-ho!

But all that energy he absorbed. Are you sure he's okay?

Let me answer your question with a question.

How many times do I need to tell you I'm not a dragon doctor?

All that Elemental Energy must be what triggered Riyu's new form.

Still doesn't explain who released the monster from its cage or why.

It has to be that masked guy I chased, right?

But who's under the mask?

Someone who knew the airship's layout.

-One of the Explorers? -No, that makes no sense.

The Explorers were desperate to haul that monster to Ninjago,

and put it on display. Why would one of them release it?

Nothing those weirdos do makes sense.

Speaking of… look who's here.

I say, if you still want a ride back to Ninjago,

we will be leaving forthwith.

Yes.

-Ever since someone-- -[grunting]

--destroyed our specimen, there's no point in staying

in this benighted hayseed village.

Best return to the Explorer's Clubhouse

and await another chance to secure a glorious legacy.

Can't get a decent cuppa round here anyway.

Peasants.

We do still need to get back to the other Ninja as quickly as we can.

We just need to resupply, then we'll be on our way.

[Umbrasilvan Grand Inquisitor] No, you will not!

Who are you supposed to be?

Some kind of headwear salesman?

[blowing trumpet fanfare]

Presenting…

the Grand Inquisitor Of Umbrasilvis!

Outsiders!

Nothing good ever comes from outsiders!

Well, that's just nonsense. If we Explorers had never come,

you'd never have been discovered by anyone.

Where would you be then?

Someone released a monster on purpose to wreak havoc in our fair town!

Umbrasilvis shall be on total lockdown until we determine who it was!

The brigand must pay!

You don't understand.

We need to get back to--

No one leaves here until someone is punished.

So proclaims the Grand Inquisitor!

[citizens cheering]

[tranquil music playing]

[knocking on gate]

Senator Tartigrade!

Always nice to see you,

but this is a strange hour for a visit.

These are strange times, Mr. Frohicky.

I need to talk to the Ninja.

My apologies, they are currently in parts unknown.

Cole's the only one in town,

but he's out investigating reports of an energy monster.

An energy monster?

Where?

The Crossroads.

Wow. That's exactly why I'm here.

Imperium was invaded by a strange energy creature.

It caused a lot of damage, then disappeared.

I was hoping the Ninja could help us figure out what it was.

I'll tell Cole as soon as he returns.

Thank you, we need the help.

Imperium's infrastructure can't handle more attacks like that.

[knocking in code]

Bigger than I thought. I should've brought back-up.

[Dr. LaRow] Yes, you should have…

but you didn't.

Stun him, but keep him alive.

[stun beam crackling]

A Ninja on our trail.

How predictable.
