The Demons and Masters

The Last Hope

On the Dark Island, Garmadon and the Overlord are watching the Celestial Clock counting down. BB was on patrol with some warriors.

"The clock is only hours away from finishing its countdown to the Final Battle between good and evil, Garmadon. Why so sad?" "Me? Sad? Ha! Nonsense. I couldn't be happier. It's just..." "Lloyd?" "I still have to battle my son in order to transform Ninjago into my image." "Battle and defeat, if evil is to prevail."

Garmadon leaves with his head down in sorrow.

The ninja are practicing their new powers on the shore of the Island. Doing this was helping Cole to keep his mind off (Name)'s condition.

"Order up. Coconut cream pie. Served well done!"

Kai uses his Fire on a coconut projectile. Everyone groans and laughs.

"It is good to have our powers back." "Yup, you're right. And since we've all been working on our witty quips to follow every cool thing we do, I'd say we got this final battle in the bag. Or should I say..."

Jay says before he signals Cole to launch another coconut.

"...I'd be shocked if we lose!"

He uses his Lightning on the coconut. He laughs as it explodes. Redson threw a fireball at their feet.

"Enough! Are you trying to reveal our hidden location? It's bad enough that no matter what that sensei of yours does, nothing is warming Gremlin up. That you four are using those blades like this that will give away out location." "Uh, sorry Red. We were just practicing our cool new Elemental Blades." "And our witty quips." "But can you tell me if she is at least talking?"

Red looks to Cole and shakes his head.

"Sorry Boulder Brain, she still hasn't said a word."

Cole hangs his head low before looking to his teammates.

"She'll be fine Cole, she probably just needs a more intense heat source. Red, maybe your flames could help her." "I guess I'll try my flames Tin Man."

Red walks off. In the distance, Dr. Julien is repairing the Falcon while Lloyd watches.

"Every cog, every gear is important. If one piece is missing, or out of place, the invention won't work."

Julien closes the Falcon's panel.

"Come now, little one. Time to fly."

The Falcon flies to the ninja. Wu had just walked over to them and told them she's slowly warming up with Redson's flames.

"But it is like you ninja. You each serve very important roles, and are key parts to a magnificent fighting force."

Cole, now happy, spots a coconut, unaware it's the Falcon.

"Eat dirt, scumbag!"

He projected his Earth. Zane gasped and counters it with his Ice

"That is not a coconut!" "Nice reflexes."

Cole praises as the Falcon squawks and lands on Zane's arm.

"Good to have you back, old friend." "If we're all gears, what if I'm the gear that doesn't work? What if I don't do my part? What if I can't defeat my father?" "What if there are no more What-ifs. The Final Battle is almost upon us. When that time comes, we will know the answer to what ifs whether we like it or not." "I know you don't want to face your father, but there is no other choice."

Nya says as she walks with Misako over to the boys.

"But perhaps there is. I used to think it was inevitable, but the I found this."
