Ninjago: The Cursed Child

Chapter 70: Radio Free Ninjago

Ultra Violet enacts the Postman's capture on Ultra Hunt "The Mailman doesn't deliver, so find him, and return to sender! Today's jackpot could be yours" she laughs

"Every day, pick off our friends. Pick, pick, pick" Karlof complains

Dareth: Ugh. As long as it's not me.

Lloyd walks over to see what Nya's building "Looks bigger than your other builds. What are you making?"

"Since we're outnumbered, we're upping the armor and firepower. Thanks to some feedback from Skylor, I feel like it's really taking shape" Nya tells him

"But it's so bulky. We'll be sitting ducks in that" Lloyd says

Skylor shrugs "It's a work in progress. She'll be ready"

"Karlof? Do you think I can get your help with Lloyd's training?" Mistaké asks

"Ooh, it would be my pleasure" Karlof replies

"Go easy on me. I'm powerless" Lloyd says

"Uh, actually, it won't be you who will be facing Karlof, but Dareth" Mistaké tells him

"Heh, me? I mean...uh, all right. Hey, heh. About time" Dareth says nervously

"But he isn't an Elemental Master" Lloyd argues

"Neither are you. Power takes many forms beyond what is physical. The power of persuasion. The power of numbers. The power to lead" Mistaké lectures

"Don't forget power of Metal" Karlof adds

"Oh, boy. You're gonna be a tough nut to crack" Dareth says as he and Karlof get ready to fight

Dareth looks at Mistaké

"Don't look at me" she says

Misako looks at Lloyd "Lead him, son"

"You can do this, Dareth" Lloyd encourages

"With the power of brown, you're about to go down. Brown Bear" Dareth growls "Spiky Penguin" he imitates a penguin but Karlof punches him.

Lloyd sighs "Lucky punch. Come on, shake it off. He's bigger, so use your speed"

Dareth jumps up "Speed. Like a Cheetah. Dareth, the nimble. Dareth, be quick. Dareth jumped over the—" Karlof punches him again.

"Lead" Mistaké instructs

"Ninja never quit. Get up" Lloyd instructs

Dareth gets up but Karlof chases him. "Aah! Fish! Slippery like a fish!" Dareth jumps onto a pole "I-I'm sorry, Lloyd, I—Oh, I let you down"

"I can't fight everyone's fights" Lloyd says

"I'm sorry. I couldn't hear that" Mistaké smiles

Lloyd sighs "I said I can't fight everyone's—" He came to a realization "How do I lead the Resistance?"

"By finding your voice. The more you inspire, the more others will inspire you. And you better find your voice soon, because today, you will be taking back the airwaves" Mistaké says

"Airwaves?" Lloyd questions

"The people of Ninjago think you're gone" Mistaké turns the TV off "Show them you are not"

"You heard her greenie, get's get a plan together"

Lloyd smiles and turns to see Aria standing up from bed  "Aria" he runs over and hugs her

"Your hair's blonde" Aria says ruffling his hair "just how I like it"

"I'm so happy you're ok" Lloyd says "I can't do this without you"

"I know" Aria smirks "now, let's make a plan"

-

Aria, Lloyd, Skylor, Shade, Paleman, Neuro, and Griffin Turner use their skills and powers to raid Borg Tower, from where they'll hack the airwaves. After Skylor's powers averted an encounter with Lord Garmadon, the Elemental Masters arrive at Ultra Violet's set.

Ultra Violet is yelling at her crew "So what? You help us catch everyone else, but no one knows where the Mailman is? He's just a postal worker, why have we not caught him, people?!"

The Resistance breaks in and attacks everyone

Lloyd smirks "Sorry, UV, but your show has just been canceled"

Paleman grabs her before she could attack him. They tie her and her crew up.

"Once you go live it'll only be a matter of time before they know we're here. Are you ready?" Aria asks as she hacks into the computers

"Yeah" Lloyd says

Skylor takes the camera "Then we're live in five, four, three, two..."

Lloyd looks at the camera "Hello, Ninjago. It's me. Lloyd Garmadon. The Green Ninja. Lord Garmadon wants you to be afraid, but I need you to be brave. With the help of Princess Harumi, Lord Garmadon struck a major blow against Ninjago City. We are ready to strike back. There is a resistance. And we may be small, but we are power—"

Harumi displays a video of Lloyd's defeat on a screen in the room, causing Lloyd to hesitate

"—p-powerful."

"Lloyd" Aria says, he looks at her and smiles

"I may not have Elemental Power, but I call upon the power of the people. When we get knocked down, we rise up. Stronger than before. This is our city. He thinks he can bully us with stone giants. Well this isn't the first time our city has faced ruin. Buildings fall, but we rise! And to you, Father, I say this: fighting me may make you feel powerful, but you're about to see what real power is. The Resistance never quits"

With that Aria quickly grabs Lloyd and pushes him out the door as Killow finally breaks the door down, but they already left

Lloyd's recording continues playing "The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits"
