It's been 2 years since Master Wu has gone missing and the ninja have been together. They were reported to be across Ninjago doing various missions.
The Ninja eventually grouped up where Lloyd joins them.
"Hey, there he is. You're late" Kai called out
"Kai was late too, if it is any consolation" Zane comments
"Thanks for meeting me here. It's been a while since we've all been under one roof" Lloyd says in a deeper more mature voice, Nya giggles while Cole nudges Jay. Lloyd looks confused "What?"
"Are we gonna talk about it?" Jay asks
"Talk about what?" Lloyd questions
Cole smiled "Your voice, it's-"
Zane changed to a deep voice "Lower"
"Sounds like our little Ninja's growing up" Kai laughs
"well I am almost 20" Lloyd says
"Yeah leave him alone" Nya sighs "Any word from your mother?"
"Not since she went searching for Master Wu." Lloyd replies "I don't know where she is."
"She'll come back, Lloyd." Cole says "And so will Wu."
Lloyd shook his head "Not everyone comes back, Cole. But that isn't why I called you here. I called you because of this" He shows them the logo he saw on the parachute.
"Your father? Lord Garmadon?" Cole questions
Lloyd nods "After poking around, I've learned it's the symbol to-"
"The Sons of Garmadon. A mysterious criminal syndicate growing prominent in Ninjago City" Zane answers
Lloyd sighs "Seventy two hours ago, they stole a powerful relic from Cyrus Borg. Some mask-"
Hutchins walks in "Not some mask. The Oni Mask. There are only three in existence."
"Whoa, I'm confused. How can there be three masks when you just said it's the only mask?" Jay questions
"Not only, Jay. Oni." Nya clarifies
"The Oni are said to be all-powerful beings. Demons that predate Ninjago" Zane informs them
"Each mask embodies one of the three Oni warlords. If all three masks are united, whomever owns them will wield tremendous power" Hutchins explains
"Ninja, this is Mr. Hutchins. Master at Arms and Counsel to the Royal Family" Lloyd introduces
"Let me guess, they have an Oni Mask too" Kai says
"Two? Now there's two?" Jay questions and Nya covers his mouth.
"The Emperor and Empress will be holding a crowning Ceremony for the Crown Princess Aria, on her 20th birthday, and they are worried the Sons of Garmadon may try to steal the mask." Hutchins tells them
"Woah woah woah," Kai says shocked "did you just say Crown Princess Aria?"
"I forgot to tell you guys," Lloyd smiles "Aria finally won over her mother and the people and they're making her the crown princess."
"That's great," Nya says happily "it seems she's been working hard these past couple years."
"I just can't believe she's already 20," Cole chimes in
"Me too," Zane nods "It feels like only yesterday she was still trying to learn spinjitzu."
"Now that's something I can joke about," Jay laughs
