In the Endless sea, Pythor and the Nindroids swim towards the MechDragon where the Overlord lies
"Get down there." Pythor ordered as they kept swimming before reaching the MechDragon, the lift it up with balloons, emerging it from the sea
———————-
Meanwhile in the Temple of light, the ninja stand around in their posts except for (Y/N)
"We can't do this alone anymore. As long as we have all this power, they'll never stop coming for us." Lloyd said
"But why isn't (Y/N) with us?." Kai asked
"If I join this, my powers could corrupt you, since we all know that I'm the creation of the Overlord, it could have disastrous consequences." (Y/N) said as they nodded
"Well, from here on out, we can't let anything separate us again." Zane said
"He's right." Jay agreed
"Absolutely." Cole agreed
"Let's do this." Kai said as Lloyd strikes the bell and gives the four ninja their powers back
"The Elemental Power, it's inside us." Zane said
"Fire!." Kai yelled creating fire from his hands
"Haha, anyone shocked to see me do this, huh?." Jay asked creating lightning
"No dirt off my shoulder." Cole said creating earth
"Chill out." Zane said using ice
"Ha, feels like the good old days again." (Y/N) smirked remembering their past together, Wu and Garmadon looked at them
"Foolishness. This decision puts everyone in jeopardy." Garmadon said
"But it was your son's decision to make." Wu said
"The young take too many risks. They should listen to their fathers." Garmadon said
"Without risks, they'll never know how far they'll truly go. Have faith, brother. We will catch Pythor and find Borg. Maybe then you'll rest easier." Wu said
"It's not just them I fear for." Garmadon said
"Yes, (Y/N) not giving up his ultimate powers is a good idea, now that we all know he is a creation of the Overlord, his powers may corrupt the Ninja, it would be wise to keep them away from it." Wu said as they watched the Ninja play around with their powers
"As the protectors of this land. We have to make sure we do not fail, besides, we don't have the luxury of taking a rest." Garmadon said
——————————-
Meanwhile, Cryus has been turned into the Overborg again, this time awake with a red eye, he then builds project Arcturus
"Pythor, my drones are starting to ask questions. You say this is the Overlords plan, yet we have not seen him." Cryptor said judging Pythors actions
"No, he's, uh, consumed at the moment." Pythor said
"This is an ambitious undertaking. If we find out you are pretending he's alive only to use us, you will pay dearly." Cryptor threatened
"The Overlord will reveal himself when he chooses to. May I remind you, you can always be reprogrammed." Pythor threatened back as Cryptor leaves, Pythor then throws up the Overlord in a half physical state
"The Nindroids are impatient. They doubt your existence." Pythor said
"They mustn't see me in my weakened state, if the ninja hadn't interrupted the transference, I wouldn't look like this. Not...not to worry. Soon, I will be strong. And soon, we will finish project Arcturus." The Overlord said
"Forgive my ambivalence. It's just that this plan. It's... it's-
"It's the only way I can become the Golden Master. With news of Lloyd giving away his Golden Power, there's no use hunting him anymore." The Overlord said
"What about (Y/N)? You want his powers did you not?." Pythor asked
"He has little to nothing left of his ultimate power, going after him would be the equivalent of going after a dead battery, he still has his purpose to me, but that can only be completed when I become the Golden Master." The Overlord explained
————————
Meanwhile in Borg Tower, the ninja search for the Nindroids
"Any update on the search?." Garmadon asked
"Our cameras haven't picked up any traces of Pythor or Borg, but the ninja are in the field where we don't have eyes." Wu explained as Lloyd and (Y/N) appeared on the computer
"No sign of Nindroids in the Toxic Bogs." Lloyd reported
"Same here in the Forest of Tranquility." (Y/N) said riding a brand new bike very similar to Lloyd's but with more blades, flatter seating area and a purple and black scheme
"Lloyd, (Y/N), while you're out there, do you both have time to search the Glacier Barrens and the Sea of Sand?." Wu asked
"Hey, I may not be able to move mountains anymore, but I can still cover ground. Over and out." Lloyd said ending his call
"I'll check the Sea of Sand and report back with my findings, maybe we will find a clue of some sorts in Pythors old Tomb. Over and out." (Y/N) said ending his call
"Project Arcturus?." Garmadon looked confused at some documents
"Two days ago, Zane and PIXAL intercepted a coded message. Something with the codename. Project Arcturus." Wu explained
"Arcturus. Long ago, didn't we face a Serpentine general by that name?." Garmadon asked
"Indeed we did brother. They even named a celestial zodiac after him. We're not sure how they are related." Wu questioned as the alarm beeps
"What in Ninjago's name is that?." Garmadon asked
"Our facial recognition software picked up someone." PIXAL said as they see Cryptor
"Cryptor." Wu said
"My analysis can only presume they're using Borg to build something." Zane said
"But what?." PIXAL asked
"We need to know where those trucks are headed. Find me the nearest ninja." Wu said
—————————
*15 minutes ago.....*
(Y/N) talks with Lloyd as they roam around Borg Tower
"We should split up to cover more ground, that way we can limit where we have to look." (Y/N) suggested
"I was thinking the same thing, since I don't have my Golden Power anymore, I should be fine to look around without supervision." Lloyd said as (Y/N) nodded
"And since I'm practically drained of my Ultimate power, there's no reason to go after me anymore." (Y/N) said as they walked away, as they did, (Y/N) walked into Nya
"Hey, (Y/N)." Nya smiled
"Nya, what do I owe the pleasure?." (Y/N) asked
"Well, Jay and Cole have invited me to a movie, and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me... after all, we have time." Nya smiled blushing
"Nya, I'd love to go with you, but I can't, I have a mission to do." (Y/N) said apologetically as Nya sighed sadly
"But, once this Overlord business is done once and for all, how about... I take you out..." (Y/N) asked blushing while rubbing his head
"Like... like a date?." Nya asked blushing madly
"Uh, yeah, I was meant to ask you awhile ago, but Jay did it first... and since the Overlord is nearly defeated forever. I thought now would be the perfect time to ask, I mean only if you want to...
Nya smiled as she grabbed (Y/N)'s hand
"I'd love to go out with you..." Nya smiled as they hugged, Lloyd smiled as they separated
"I promise, I will come back for you." (Y/N) smiled as he and Lloyd walked away, the duo looking at each other one last time before leaving
*Now*
Inside a theatre, Jay, Cole and Nya watch Starfarer
"Fear? Fear isn't a word where I come from." Fritz said in the movie
"I love Fritz Donnegan movies." Jay smiled
"Samurai in space? Really? Who writes this baloney?." Cole asked as Nya looked annoyed
"Could you please be quiet?." Dan asked as Jay and Cole try to grab some popcorn, but though each others hands
"Ugh!." Cole groaned grossed out
"Aah!." Jay yelled
"Shh!." Dan yelled at them
"Hey, it wasn't my idea to go on a double date to decide between you two. Besides, you both now I already have a person in mind. But the least you both can do it be on your best behaviour." Nya whispered as her bracelet beeps annoying Dan and Kevin
"We're trying to watch the movie." Kevin said annoyed
"Could you please be quiet?." Dan asked again as Robo usher 3000 approaches
"Please turn off all phones and devices." Robot usher said
"Oh, right, heh. Sorry." Nya apologised as she turns it off
————————-
"They're not picking up, Kai is the nearest in proximity." Zane said
"And he should be able to get there quickly in the Prototype X-1." PIXAL explained
"Good, but tell him not to engage. We can't let them know they're being followed." Wu said
———————-
Meanwhile in a store, Kai flirts with a woman
"So these are the hottest snacks you got? Hotter than this?." Kai asked as he heats it up with his fire. The woman giggles, outside the radio plays for the X-1
"99.9 New Ninjago. Next up is the latest hit." The man said
"That your ride out there? Pretty hot." The woman said smiling
"That old thing? That's just the prototype X-1 roadster. I'm kind of a secret agent. Oops, guess it's not a secret anymore. You wanna go for a spin? I know Spinjtizu." Kai said as PIXAL turns on the radio
"Kai. Kai, I need you." PIXAL said
"Not now PIXAL." Kai said
"Who's PIXAL?." The woman asked glaring at Kai who chuckles nervously, she then tosses her drink at him
"Uh, aah! Oh." Kai sighed sadly
"Did I catch you at a bad time?." PIXAL asked as Kai hopped in
"This better be good." Kai said as he drives away
"There's a Nindroid convoy heading west and Gerneral Cryptor is on it." PIXAL explained
"Cryptor." Kai said
"We need you to follow, but not be spotted." PIXAL explained
"I'm a ninja. That's part of the job." Kai said as he puts on some sunglasses
"We mean it Kai. It is imperative your carelessness does not jeopardise the mi-
Kai muted the radio
"Relax. When have I ever been careless?." Kai asked as PIXAL appeared on a billboard
"Kai, can you hear me?:" PIXAL asked as Kai drives by, she then takes control of the Prototype X-1
"Huh? What's happening? Woah, woah!." Kai yelled losing control to PIXAL
"I've taken control of the X-1 remotely. You can't get rid of me that easily." PIXAL said as Kai crossed his arms
"Fine. Have it your way. How close are we?." Kai asked
"Approaching convoy in three minutes." PIXAL said
"Let's see if we can make it in two." Kai said activating the boosters
"You can't control your team." Garmadon sighed looking at Wu
"Have faith, brother." Wu said
"He's ascending the mountain pass now." Zane said
"Kai, you better take over again." PIXAL said as Kai regains control
"Okay." Kai said smiling as he took control
"Remember, keep your distance. We only need to find out where they are headed." PIXAL explained
"Boring! What I want to know is what are they hiding?." Kai said curiously
"Careful! Keep your eyes on the road, Kai." PIXAL warned as Kai drove recklessly
"I was just getting the fell of it. You know, every car handles differently." Kai said
"Yet this car is worth far more than you. I would not advise returning it with a scratch." PIXAL said
"Noted. Let's see if we can find some killer tunes." Kai said as he accidentally activated the missiles and exploded in the air, loud enough to gain Pythor notice
"What's that?." Pythor asked as he looked outside and saw Kai
"Hmm? We're being followed. Speed up." Pythor ordered Cryptor who complied
"Yes master." Cryptor said
"Uh oh!." Kai yelled
"You've done enough. From here on out, I'm in control." PIXAL said taking control again
"Hey, I was driving." Kai pouted
"Not anymore." PIXAL said as she followed behind
"What are you doing?." Kai asked as they approached
"Now that our plans foiled, our only hope is to get you aboard that semi truck to see what they are transporting." PIXAL said
"Ah. I love it when a plan comes together." Kai smiled
"Shoot the mountain!." Pythor ordered as the Nindroids shoot the mountain
"Ahh!." Kai screamed as PIXAL destroyed the rocks with missiles
"Ah. That was close." Kai said
"I thought close was the objective. I can't get past him. Get ready to hold on." PIXAL said much to Kai's confusion
"For what?." Kai asked
"This." PIXAL said as the seat Kai was sitting on lowered itself
"What's happening?." Kai asked as PIXAL ejected a motorbike from the Prototype X-1 which launches forwards to the truck
"Keep your sunglasses close. They're also a receiver so we can communicate." PIXAL said as Kai jumped onto the truck and climbed up to meet more Nindroids
"All right, time to heat things up. You're fired! You're fired!." Kai yelled as he sent fire blasts at the Nindroids, knocking them off, more arrived
"Uh oh, ninja! Go!." Kai yelled doing Spinjtizu knocking more off, it also burns off the trap and reveals jet fuel
"Uh, PIXAL? I'm sitting on a tanker of jet fuel, and I think I just lit the match." Kai said much to the others surprise
"Jet fuel? He needs to get off that tanker before it explodes!." Garmadon yelled
"PIXAL. Get him out of there." Wu said
"Kai, there's a series of one-lane tunnels up ahead. We must time it right to get you off of there." PIXAL said still controlling the Prototype X-1, she then uses it to spill gas in the process
"Hurry. Jump now!." PIXAL yelled as Kai went to do so, only for a Nindroid to grab him, forcing Kai to fight back
"Kai, now is no time to fight." PIXAL stated as a construction worker notices the Nindroid convoy and dodges
"Getting kind of hot up here. Where are you?." Kai asked worriedly
"Tired up at the moment." PIXAL said under attack
"You like that, sparky? Heh!." Kai laughed as he pushed Min-droid onto the roof of the tunnel, Kai then noticed Min-droids sparks igniting a trail of gas, Min-Droid then gets hit by a overpassing sign freeing Kai who got up
"Oops. PIXAL, I gotta go! Like, now!." Kai yelled
"I can't get to you! There's no time!." PIXAL yelled as Kai runs away just as the truck is about to explode, just then the tanker exploded
"Kai!." Zane yelled worried
"Kai! Can you hear me?." PIXAL asked hopeful that he was alright
"Loud and clear. Well, maybe not so clear on the back of this truck." Kai said under the truck as they cheer
"Hahahaha! We lost him. We might've lose one payload, but we still have the other." Pythor said
"Excellent. Head of the launch site." The Overlord ordered on a walkie talkie, Kai over hears this
"Oh my way." Pythor said as the continued to drive
"Listen up. The Overlords alive." Kai said much to everyone's surprise
"What? Do you know where they're heading?." Wu asked as they stopped
"Wait, they're stopping. This might be it. I have to stay quiet so they don't find my perfect hiding spot and-
Pythor overheard Kai and looks under the truck and see him
"You!." Pythor yelled much to Kai's surprise
"Huh? Me?." Kai asked as Pythor punched him cutting him off the communications
"Gather everyone. We have to find out where they're going before it's too late." Wu ordered
—————————————-
Meanwhile the movie ended and the trio walked out
"Ah! Greatest movie ever! Haha!." Jay laughed
"Yeah, it was pretty good." Nya smiled
"Well, I say we head back to the Tower." Cole said
"Woah, woah! Slow down, Nya said she'll pick after the movie, remember?." Jay asked as Cole groaned
"Jay, I don't care about this." Cole said annoyed
"Why? Cause you know she isn't made for you?." Jay smirked as Cole growled, but Nya stopped him
"It's okay Cole, I've already made my choice." Nya smiled
"My decision is (Y/N)." Nya said
"Haha! I knew it would be- wait... what?!." Jay yelled confused
"Jay, there's something I've been meaning to tell you, I've always liked (Y/N), I saw you more as a friend then anything, I'm sorry, but I pick (Y/N)." Nya said apologetically, Jay looked down sadly feeling as he lost, Cole placed an hand on his shoulder
"You knew this whole time didn't you?." Jay asked
"Yes, I did, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I didn't want you to feel this way, we all knew this would happen, (Y/N) told me about his crush on Nya ages ago, that's why I'm not fighting for her affection, that's why I never fought back with you physically, I didn't want to ruin what was left of our friendship, but you made it so hard to talk to without sounding possessive of Nya, I'm sorry we never told you sooner." Cole said sadly as Jay hugged Cole
"You all didn't tell me, because of how I would feel?." Jay asked
"(Y/N) asked us not to tell you, because he didn't want to ruin your friendship." Cole said as Jay looked down
"I need to apologise to him, I've been nothing more than a jerk." Jay said as they see their elemental signals in the sky
"Well, you might wanna hold that thought, they need us back at headquarters." Cole said as they go back to Borg Tower where everyone else was
"We got here as fast as we could." Nya said
"The Overlord is back. And he has Kai." Zane explained much to their surprise
"The Overlord?." The trio asked
"We know they plan to launch Project Arcturus tonight. But we need to figure out what it is in order to save him. Think. The answer must be right in front of us." Wu said
"The Overlords dire wish is to become the Golden Master. Maybe that has something to do with it?." Lloyd asked
"Good, Lloyd, but what sense does all of this make? What is Project Arcturus?." Wu asked
"I've run every combination of these clues through my database to see how they're connected, but there is no correlation." PIXAL explained
"Guys, I might have an idea on what he's doing." (Y/N) said
"I think I know what you'rere saying, there may be a reason why it's not in your database." Zane said much to PIXALS confusion
"But everything in Ninjago history has been recorded inside me." PIXAL said
"Not everything, there's something you all don't know." (Y/N) said
"Do you remember when we followed Garmadon back in time?." Zane asked much to Lloyd's confusion
"Uh, we did?." Lloyd asked
"You don't remember, Lloyd, because when we returned to the present, it had been altered by what we had done in the past." Zane explained
"I remember because I was there. You used the Golden Weapons to destroy my Mega Weapon. But when they collided, they were shot into...
"Space." Wu said as they looked outside the window
"And now that with have that information, now we know what Project Arcturus is, since Lloyd gave up his Golden Powers, their building a rocket to grab the only things that can make him the Golden Master, the Golden Weapons." (Y/N) explained
"Quick, where do the Serpentine study the stars?." Garmadon asked
"The ancient city of Ouroboros." Zane answered
"We must go there at once." Garmadon said
"How do you know Nindroids will be there?." Wu asked
"Faith." Garmadon said
—————————
Meanwhile at the launch site Kai is gagged and chained under the rockets thruster
"Hope you like barbecues. We're about to have one!." Pythor laughed as Kai tried to break free
"One barbecue ninja. Well done, please. Prepare lunch. Oh, sorry. I mean, launch." Pythor smiled as the Ninja above reached Ouroboros
"I don't get it. Where are they?." Cole asked
"He said they would be here." Lloyd said looking around
"Well, your dad was wrong. We should have never listened to him." Jay said as the ground rumbled
"How does it feel to be wrong?." (Y/N) asked as Jay glared at him
"Now's not the time!." Jay yelled
"Everyone run!." Cole yelled as they fall into the launch site, Jay looks at the rocket
"Arcturus?." Jay asked reading the rocket as Lloyd spots Kai
"It's Kai! We need to save him!." Lloyd yelled
"No, we need that launch key to stop the launch command. If the Overlord gets the Golden Weapons, he'll be too powerful." Zane explained
"Now's not the time! We need to save Kai and stop the launch! Let's move team!." (Y/N) yelled as they Nindroids break their platform making everyone but Lloyd and (Y/N) fall
"Just stop that launch!." Kai yelled muffled
"Attack!." Pythor yelled as the Overborg attacks the duo
"Sorry Borg, but I know you'll forgive me." (Y/N) said as he attacked him
"Retreat!." Cryptor yelled as they run into the rocket
"Hey, where do you think you're going?." Cole asked as he tries to open the door
"Uhh! It won't budge!." Cole yelled as the others freed Kai, Lloyd then gets attacked by the Overborg who jumps over (Y/N)
"Oh, little Lloyd, needing help. Shouldn't have given up all the power hmm?." Pythor asked about to launch the rocket, but (Y/N) used his powers to stop him
"Not so fast Pythor!." (Y/N) yelled glaring at the bleached snake
"Oh, I wouldn't be so confident to stop me, since it seems like your little cousin is about to take a nice fall." Pythor chuckled as (Y/N) noticed the Overborg drop Lloyd
"Lloyd!." (Y/N) yelled as Pythor turned the key
"Toodaloo!." Pythor laughed leaving as (Y/N) growled before going to the others
"(Y/N)! What's going on?." Jay asked
"Pythor activated the launch, there's not stopping it now." (Y/N) said
"We need to get out of here." Cole said
"But what about the Golden Weapons?." Lloyd asked
"There's more pressing problems. Like an entire rocket ship pressing on us!." Jay yelled
"We need to do everything in our power to make sure they don't reach those weapons." Lloyd said
"Lloyd's right, we need to stop the Overlord from becoming to Golden Master." (Y/N) said agreeing with Lloyd
"Are you both nuts? Ninja don't belong in space!." Cole yelled
"I'm with Cole. This is even beyond me." Jay said
"Look, this may be out of our comfort zone, but we need to do everything in our powers to stop the Overlord, we all agreed nothing was ever going to seperate us again, we are going. Are you all with us or not?." (Y/N) asked as they looked at each other
————————
Outside the others notice the rocket launches
"They're too late." Nya said sadly
"I'm reading Zane's signal aboard that rocket ship, along with five other life forms." PIXAL said as they all smiled
"Oh, by the grace of the First Spinjtizu Master." Wu said
"You wanted them to take risks. To see how far they'd go. Is this what you had in mind? How far? How far must they go?." Garmadon asked standing next to Wu
"Come back safe to us, ninja, son. Come back safe." Wu said as they looked to the stars
