(A man runs up to a vending machine. When it got stuck, he had to flee when a scans him.)

Hover-Copter: Sector 17 clear. Continuing search for ninja.

( P.I.X.A.L. extracts Golden Power Lloyd used on a security mech.)

P.I.X.A.L.: Initializing power transference. Extracting Golden Power. Standby for physical somatic download.

Digital Overlord: Yes. Yes! (The golden power runs out.) It's not enough! I need more of the boy's power if I'm ever to be freed of this digital prison! I'm fed up with pathetic mortal bodies. I want my own back. Find me more power! Find me the Golden Ninja!

P.I.X.A.L.: By my computation, your primary duty should be finding the Techno Blades. They are the only things that can—

Overlord: Those ninja don't even know what they already possess. I want the Golden one.

P.I.X.A.L.: Nindroids have no current visual on him.

Overlord: They just don't know where to look. (He turns to Wu, who is strapped down to a table.)

Wu: I'll never tell you where they're hiding.

Overlord: You might not but your memories will. (He searches his memories.)

Wu: (Laughs) It tickles.

Overlord: It's only a matter of time until your mind tells me everything.

Wu: Never. (Laughs)

(The ninja hide their vehicles with leaves and trees.)

Lloyd: Aah. This is a perfect place to lay low. No robots, no cameras, no problems.

Nya: Still, if any aerial drones pass overhead, you better wear this. (She tosses him a gi.) It will scramble their signal so they can't find you.

Lloyd: (Laughs) Yeah, this is sweet.

Misako: Lloyd?

Amethyst: Coral?

Lloyd and Coral: Mom? (They all embrace.)

Misako: Oh. What are you all doing here?

Lloyd: The Overlord's back and New Ninjago City has fallen under his control. He has Sensei Wu.

Misako: Wu's tough. There's a reason he's lived as long as he has.

Lloyd: Well, where's Dad?

Kai: Yeah, where's Lord Garmadon?

Misako: He no longer goes by Lord. Here, he is Sensei Garmadon and he won't be back until this evening's lesson.

Jay: Uh, did you just say Sensei Garmadon?

Coral: Yeah. Did you forget that Garmadon turned good after Lloyd defeated the Overlord for the first time.

Zane: Well I'm glad he's on our side now. With Sensei Wu gone, we could use the help.

Misako: Come in, but your weapons are not allowed. Ever since Lloyd saved his father, Garmadon sworn an oath to never fight in hope to make up for his evil past. It's an oath he takes very seriously.

Kai: But we were supposed to protect these with our lives.

Jay: And never let them out of our sight.

Zane: You guys go on ahead, I will stay back and watch over them. (The ninja give him their Techno Blades.)

Cole: Haha, yeah!
