[Zilvar's voice] Save them, Zilvar.

Save your people.

You finally have a chance to do what you failed to.

[Jay] Uh, you okay?

Looks like you had some kind of nightmare.

Just a dream.

Nothing more.

Wish I could have a nightmare.

It'd mean I was sleeping.

Any kind of sleep would be better than being on the graveyard shift

driving to the Abyss of Eternal Night.

The sooner we get that thing gone, the better.

Yes, it must be destroyed.

[Frak] Whoa!

[Sora] What could Cryptor and the Loyalists

even want Beatrix for? She's in a coma!

Could the Loyalists have the technology to wake her up?

Man, I wish Lloyd was here to help me with Spinjitzu.

Whoa-oh-oh!

Don't be hard on yourself.

It took me forever.

Huah!

What tech could the Loyalists have that Cyrus Borg didn't?

Well, General Cryptor, for starters.

And whose idea was it to bring Cryptor back?

The most frustrating part of all this?

We don't have a single clue what their endgame could be.

Hopefully Euphrasia, Riyu, and Wyldfyre dig something up.

They haven't reported back in hours.

I'm guessing it's not going well.

Doesn't help that because of those masks, Loyalists can hide in plain sight.

[Sora's dad] Tea, anyone?

You two look like you could use some refreshments.

You're not wrong there.

[sipping]

With honey?

That's how you like it, isn't it?

You remember that?

Thank you.

Of course, Sora.

[sighing]

[Jenny] Arin...

We need to tell you something.

Can we talk outside?

I'm late for training.

Actually, we can't.

We don't know exactly how to say this, but...

...we think Sora's parents might be Loyalists.

Huh?

I saw what I'm pretty sure was a Loyalist mask in one of their bags.

I went back to check, but the bag's gone now.

Which is also suspicious.

They...

They can't be Loyalists.

They've barely left the Monastery.

Maybe they're not active.

They did come here right after Imperium

started rounding up Loyalists for their crimes.

Are they... hiding here?

Sora's only just warming up to her parents again.

They haven't spoken in years.

If she finds out they've just been using her to hide,

she'll be devastated.

We know, but we had to tell you about our suspicions.

Thing is, I'm pretty sure I saw a mask,

but not completely sure.

Not sure enough to tell Sora about it,

or to confront her parents.

[Arin] If they are Loyalists, we could all be in danger,

and it'd destroy Sora...

[Sora laughing happily]

...but if for some reason you're wrong--

Which is possible.

--and we wrongfully accuse them without evidence,

that could destroy all our relationships.

We'll try to get proof, but we thought you should know,

so be careful.

I will. Thanks, Dad. Thanks, Mom.

[door opening and closing]

Arin, there you are!

Tea?

[slurping]

Mm! [laughing awkwardly] Yummy yum!

Thank you!

You're so helpful to us, making us tea,

and other helpful stuff.

[chuckling awkwardly]

Frak and I were just talking about how frustrating it is

not knowing what the Loyalists are up to.

We're always one step behind.

[incoming comms beeping]

Wyldfyre! You found something?

Yep!

Drop whatever boring thing you're doing, 'cause we're right where the action is!

Don't you clowns know you gotta pay for your junk?

H'yah!

Hey! Get back here!

I'm not done with the spinning and the kicking!

H'yah!

[growling]

You're supposed to stop the stealing, not damage my goods!

[Loyalist] Squad 5512-A, need backup, now!

How about you never get back up!

I'm guessing this is the backup.

[power surging]

Ah!

H'yah!

[grunting]

This isn't what I leadered us to do!

[Loyalist] Make sure you load the--

[smashing]

[Arin] Heard this is where the action is!

[Sora] Block all their escape routes!

Block all their escape routes!

-[Sora] I already said-- -Leader!

[Loyalist] Get what you can Let's go!

[Loyalist] Alert General Cryptor we're headed back to base!

[Riyu roars]

[grunting] Ah!

Whaa!

[sarcastically] Oh, thank you, Ninja!

It's so fantastic having best friends that are Ninja,

'cause no one steals my stuff!

[sighing] Don't know if this city will survive till the other Ninja get back.

[Frak] Ouch.

Why would the Loyalists be stealing from a junkyard?

No idea,

but they were definitely looking for specific stuff.

[Sora] Got it!

They dropped this communicator.

We can use it to listen in.

[door hissing open]

[rolling cart]

[Loyalist] We didn't get everything, but I think we can still pull it off.

[Cryptor] You had better be able to,

or your punishment will be severe.

Ooh! Ah! Careful!

These scales are brand new!

I just shed!

You're gonna lose another layer of skin

if you don't tell me where the Loyalists have my evil twin.

You're not the evil one?

Look, how should I know what those masked kooks are up to?

You slum it with every lowlife in Ninjago.

I know you know.

Those weirdos don't circulate with us normal criminals...

at least as far as I know.

They could be anywhere, or anyone.

[Zeatrix] You owe me, Fedulian.

You set me up with that bounty hunter

who took my money but never brought me Ras,

so it's time to pay up,

or... I can always just shockwave it out of you.

Well, I-I thought elemental powers weren't working these days...

Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

How about we find out?

Fine!

It's called Operation Mentax!

I don't know what it is, but they've been gathering pieces,

and now they have everything they need.

Everything they need to do what?

No idea, but the chatter is that it's something

no one will see coming, and it could happen at any time.

That's all I've got, I swear!

Fine. Get outta here.

Always a pleasure.

Zeatrix?

We got a breakthrough.

Me first.

The Loyalist plan is called "Operation Mentax."

That mean anything to you?

No, not to me, but maybe we have a way to find out.

A Loyalist communicator.

We can listen in on all their secrets now.

That's a dead end.

It's old Imperium tech my dad funded.

It has a biometric lock.

A bio-what now?

It'll only activate when held by someone with permission to use it.

In this case, a Loyalist.

There's gotta be some way in.

No system is unhackable.

The House Vespasian once created access keys

that bypassed the lock,

but all of those must be destroyed by now.

We don't need an access key.

We have the Elemental Master of Technology on our side!

You two are delusional,

but I like your enthusiasm.

I'm gonna keep digging, see what I uncover.

Ah! [chuckling]

The sacred mud for the Land of Madness Delegates!

Arrived this morning. Check.

And the two-day-old porridge for the Umbrasylvans?

Already congealing. A double check.

Percival, the Summit's gonna be a smash.

Just chill, okay?

I worry the tiniest detail could cause a major incident!

With the Ninja here to security it up, we're more than fine--

look!

Some more Delegates now!

[exciting music]

[chittering]

Thank you for honoring us, Delegates from the Whispering Wood.

[chittering]

[Frak] Arrakore!

Should've known you'd be here!

Ninja!

Yes,

as the sole permanent resident of Djinjago,

the decision of who to send as Delegate was easy.

Thank you for honoring us, mighty Djinn.

I certainly wish the Summit goes well for everyone.

[dryly] Oh, how hilarious, wish comedy.

I'm guessing... Mysterium?

[thrilling music]

-[crowd cheering] -Ha ha!

[Wyldfyre] Magic...

Behold!

'Tis I, the Pontifex Magicus!

Wow!

Imagine the size of the rabbit he could pull out of that hat!

[squire] Make way, make way!

The Grand Chancellor of Umbrasylvis arrives!

What is this?

[angrily] What is this?

Down!

Explain yourself, sir!

Oh, you refer, perhaps, to the Great Ceremonial Hat.

By ancient Mysterium law,

I must wear it to all important state occasions.

Handsome, is it not?

Oh, no. A major incident brewing?

Relax, no one would ever seriously fight over something this stupid.

An offense!

By Umbrasylvan sacred tradition,

no one may have headgear larger than that of the Grand Chancellor!

Unacceptable!

Extend The Mighty Headgear!

[cranking]

There! All is now good and proper.

Oh my, no.

That won't do, will it?

Kay-taro Hat Su-nito!

[gulping]

Such an affront will not be tolerated!

Deploy the pointy battle sticks!

Wizards, enemies abound!

Arm yourselves for a major incident!

[gasping]

[shuddering]

[dramatic music]

[Cole] Forget how to drive?

[Kai] Ha ha, very funny.

Lost traction.

[Cole] Coming in to save the day!

[tires squealing]

[tires spinning]

[alerts beeping]

[Jay] What gives?

[Nya] We'll see.

I'll check the-- Whoa!

[snarling]

Whoa!

[tense music]

Huh?

Ugh!

Stupid unstable powers.

I'm so sick of this!

It's frustrating,

but I know you got this, Sora.

Well, if my powers aren't working,

maybe I can still hack this thing the old-fashioned way.

I mean, it's not like we can make LaRow

or any other Loyalist activate this thing for us.

[sighing]

Yeah...

[grumbling angrily]

Please, everyone, calm down!

You both have nice hats,

or... what was this all about again?

It is about honor,

something no magician could ever understand!

All Wizards are liars!

Incorrect!

This is about respect,

something these backwater peasants clearly lack!

[quietly] Hey, let me handle this.

Not sure that's the best--

You, banana number one!

What's your problem with magicians, anyway?

You ask of my pain?

I shall reveal it!

As a child,

I discovered all wizards are cheats

when Xalaxar the Eloquent came to my village

and sold me magic beans.

They were in fact Soul Lice Eggs...

eggs that hatched, nested in my hair,

and tried to eat my eternal essence!

The only cure was to shave my luscious locks!

The other children at the button factory

all laughed at me!

Wait...

you mean Xalaxar of Belgonia?

[sniffling]

The same!

Ugh. I knew that rat!

Complete charlatan!

In my own youth,

that same con man sold me a goose that was supposed to lay golden eggs,

yet only laid soft-boiled eggs!

Ugh, I despise soft-boiled eggs!

Then you and I are brothers,

for we share the same pain!

I greet you in open friendship, brother!

Come, brother, let us have dinner

and discuss how rotten Xalaxar is.

[Grand Chancellor] Outstanding idea!

By chance, do you enjoy mulled elderberry juice?

[Pontifex Magicus laughing]

Enjoy it? I live for it!

It's over? No major incident?

[Roby laughs] See?

Told ya.

Womp womp! Yeah!

[Frak] Wyldfyre, did you just... end a fight?

With... words?

'Cause usually you start fights.

I mean, always.

Told you. Best leader ever.

Ha! Totes agree!

And since those were the last delegates for now,

could I borrow her fierce leadership for a couple minutes of "us" time?

-[laughing] -[purring]

-]Euphrasia] Aw... -[Frak giggles]

[Roby] So sorry we haven't had time to chill

since I got here.

Hey, I've been busy too.

Leadership is so time-consuming, am I right?

Oh, I know. Yeah, yeah...

Well, I-I wanted to make it up to you,

so I got you a surprise gift.

Roby, you're adorbs as always,

but I don't need any more gifts.

Any time we get to be together is a gift.

Oh, then I guess you won't be interested

in the Mech I brought!

Wait, what?

[dramatic music]

It's amazing, but seriously, I--

-Did I mention the Dragon Mode? -[clicking button]

[gasping]

Custom designed just for you.

Raised by dragons, with the heart of a dragon.

I wanted to get you something with an outside that's true to you on the inside.

[laughing in delight]

[engines revving]

[grunting in battle]

[Kai] H'yah!

H'ah!

Huh?

-[chittering] -Ah!

[Cole] These things might be better in dirt than I am.

[Kai] Let's see how they deal with fire!

[chittering]

Ah!

-H'yah! -Whoo-hoo!

[Lloyd] H'yah!

[Nya] H'yah! H'ah!

[chittering]

[roaring]

[roaring]

[Zilvar grunts with impact]

[scorpions chittering]

Grimtak! No!

Release him!

[roaring in distress]

[Zilvar's voice] You hold the power to save him.

Use it!

[gasping]

You're okay, boy.

You're okay.

[Lloyd] Zilvar?

Zilvar!

Zilvar! You safe?

What happened?

[Zilvar] I...

managed to drive the beasts away.

Us too.

Let's get outta here while we still can.

[dramatic music]

Ugh! Zeatrix is right, it's a dead end!

People will be hurt because I can't hack this.

What kind of Master of Technology am I?

I'm a Master of Failure!

Sora...

there might be another way.

What other way?

We might...

have access to Loyalists you don't know about.

Who?

Who, Arin?

[sighing]

Your parents.

Are you serious?

Why would you even suggest something like that?

My parents may have spotted a Loyalist mask

with your parents' stuff, but they don't know for sure.

They've been trying to repair our relationship.

Are you saying that's all a lie?

I don't know,

but if they're Loyalists, they can activate that device.

We could stop Operation Mentax.

We could save lives.

Let's go.

[Sora's dad] Oh, darling, those smell wonderful!

Just in time.

We tried the Land of Lee's famous Sea Salt Brownies,

and need taste-testers!

Any takers?

What's going on, Sora?

Is something wrong?

We need to talk.

We found a Loyalist comms device with a biometric lock.

We can't use it.

And what does that have to do with us?

Arin thinks you two...

might be Loyalists.

Sora...

...that's the most upsetting thing you could ask us.

It's offensive.

You're supposed to be Sora's best friend,

and you're poisoning her mind with lies?

After we've been nothing but good to you?

[slamming tray]

Is that what people in this Monastery think of us?

That we're masked criminals?

I am appalled.

Sora, I'm sorry.

-I really-- -I don't want to hear it.

You know how tough it's been between me and them.

Why would you do this, Arin?

[closing theme]
