00:01In my moment of triumph, all was taken away from me.
00:07Though I was stronger than ever before, I was betrayed by those who should have worshipped me.
00:15My own people, the citizens of Imperium, their minds twisted by the lives of the ninja.
00:27I thought I was dead. I'm sure you all thought the same. But I survived.
00:35I found myself alone in a forsaken place. The land of monsters.
00:42For months, I battled the hideous creatures that roamed that savage land with one goal fueling me.
00:52Revenge. The citizens of Imperium. The ninja.
00:58They all had to pay for taking what was rightfully mine.
01:03I escaped from that wretched land, but I was gravely injured. The betrayal of my people and the ninja nearly
01:12led to my destruction.
01:13Yet my fury would not die. And fate had more in store for me.
01:24You're awake. My experimental medical treatments must be working.
01:33Laro. All hail the good empress.
01:38I have been to the abyss and back, and have the scars to prove it.
01:44But you, and only you, my loyalists, never wavered in your faith in my almighty power.
01:54You will stand by my side when I retake the kingdom that is rightfully mine.
02:00As most of you know, this is the fabled weapon of desolation. The item responsible for the deluge of out
02:07of control elemental monsters plaguing the merged lands.
02:11Control of this weapon means control of these deadly beings. It gives one the ability to create and lead an
02:19army of untold power.
02:22Our hidden loyalists have obtained both halves of the armament, and will be delivering them to us today. Then, we
02:29will finally fully assemble the weapon of desolation.
02:33With my army of elemental monsters, all who betrayed me, all who questioned my divine right, will fall before me!
02:44And I will show them no mercy!
02:47All hail the good empress!
03:10What the...
03:11Ow!
03:13Oh, right.
03:14Dr. Laro blasted me.
03:17That was an annoying voice I never wanted to hear again.
03:26Did they find the oldest prison in Ninjago to put me in?
03:32Okay, whoever was here last must have gotten bored and made a friend.
03:40Trust me, Mr. Smiley. I've been in worse situations. I should be out of here in no time.
03:50Ow.
03:51At least no one saw that.
03:54Except for you.
03:57Please don't tell anyone.
03:58This worn out relic.
04:00This worn out relic.
04:00While I, of course, don't believe it's supernatural, the proof of the weapon's power has been made obvious all over
04:06the merged lands, even if I have not yet uncovered its scientific foundation.
04:10And I determined these are the incantations, as they say, that separated the weapon into two pieces. Apparently written by
04:18the first spinjitsu master himself.
04:20I don't care who wrote them. Will they work?
04:23Based on my research, if these incantations are reversed, like reversing a calculation, the result should combine the halves, empowering
04:32the weapon and its wielder beyond all comprehension.
04:35And you're certain this tablet is not some kind of trick, an outlander fraud?
04:40I traveled to a previously unknown realm for this. It's likely I'm the only human who's been there since the
04:46weapon of desolation was disposed of millennia ago.
04:48Dr. Leroux, we extracted this from the Tree of Madness. As expected.
04:54You were able to retrieve this without being detected?
04:57We had a runnin' with some ninja, but we trapped them in a cave. Won't be seeing them for a
05:04while. If ever again.
05:06You had better hope that's true. You're dismissed.
05:10As promised. One half of the weapon. I am told the second sliver is on its way from Umbra Silvas
05:17as we speak.
05:20I will prove you have no reason to doubt me. I'll hail the good empress.
05:31Weapon of desolation? That can't be good.
05:43How long does a typical trial of the Green Ninja take?
05:47No two trials are the same. And I would not hold out such hope for your friend Lloyd.
05:53I'm never going to lose hope. Lloyd faces danger all the time.
05:59That is the problem. It is nearly impossible to stay idealistic when you know so much about this world.
06:18I'm here to face my greatest enemy.
06:23Who is that? Roz? Garmadon? The Overlord?
06:28Maybe an angry Source Dragon or someone else that secretly hates me and I don't know?
06:33Aaron's not still mad at me, is he?
06:37Worrying won't do me any good. I just need to focus.
06:40This is the only way to achieve my true potential as the Green Ninja.
06:52Home? How? This can't be real.
06:57Just a vision. But why?
07:05Hello, Lloyd. My greatest enemy is... me?
07:18Okay. Plan C. I got nothing.
07:23Don't judge me. I don't see you coming up with any ideas.
07:27If that Empress Beatrix and Dr. Leroux have some powerful weapon, it's up to me to stop them.
07:32But I'm stuck in this dusty old jail.
07:36Seriously? It's just dirt?
07:39Dr. Leroux really should have sprung for the full renovation.
07:43In case you missed it, Mr. Smiley, I'm an Elemental Master of Earth.
07:46You know, like this entire floor is made out of.
07:51Yeah, I know my powers have been wonky. You don't have to give me that look.
07:55Stand back.
08:04Yeah, yeah, keep laughing.
08:21You are... I mean, me. I'm not my own worst enemy.
08:26You would want to take the easy way out.
08:28Why don't you blame someone else for your problems, like you usually do?
08:32Your dad, Roz, the merge...
08:36Never realizing the real problem all along.
08:40Me? I'm the real problem?
08:42You're not a real leader, that's for sure.
08:45What?
08:46How many times have you let your team down?
08:49You've nearly gotten them all killed.
08:51It's a wonder they haven't abandoned you.
08:53Gah!
08:54No. We always have each other's backs.
08:57The ninja are a team. A team you'll never be able to lead.
09:00Not like Master Wu did. Not even like Cole did.
09:06Where do I even begin with how many mistakes you've made in your life, Lloyd?
09:10Let's start with recently.
09:12Eren went with Roz because you were such a bad mentor.
09:15You lost Jay for so long, his goodness was shattered.
09:19You ever wonder why Master Wu, who's still alive, hasn't even tried to come back?
09:25He's too ashamed of what a failure you've become.
09:34You're just... you're just trying to manipulate me.
09:37Get out of my skin.
09:38With the truth, you know it's all true, Lloyd.
09:41Because I know it's true, Lloyd.
09:54Ninja never quit?
09:56You ever think maybe you should quit?
09:58That you have no idea how to lead the ninja?
10:00And you only bring them harm?
10:02They'd be better off without you.
10:04That... that's not true!
10:18Your failures know no limits.
10:21You even managed to anger the Source Dragons.
10:24The most powerful beings in the universe are furious with you.
10:30I know.
10:32You caused them to destabilize the entire merged lands.
10:37Everything could end.
10:38And it would all be your fault.
10:40I know.
10:45You've done more damage to the merged lands than Roz.
10:48More than any villain has.
10:50You could not have brought more destruction if you tried.
10:53I know!
11:04But I had to anger the Source Dragons to save the world!
11:08Never expected the Chosen One to have so many excuses.
11:12You'll never reach your true potential as the Green Ninja.
11:15Because your only potential is failure.
11:19For yourself and for those you love.
11:25It's not too late.
11:27It's never too late.
11:28I can still prove I'm the Chosen One.
11:48This wasn't like this when we put him in here, right?
11:51There's no way he's still alive.
11:55I'd say that's incorrect!
11:58Get back here!
12:11Is this wooden corkscrew really as powerful as they think?
12:16Seriously? Come on!
12:21Hey there!
12:22Nice masks!
12:23This probably looks bad, right?
12:25Well...
12:28It's gonna feel even worse!
12:32Ah!
12:36Ah!
12:39Ah!
12:42Ah!
12:45Ah!
12:47Ah!
12:48Ah!
12:53What the? What? Wow! Unexpected bonus!
13:04You can't beat me, because there's nothing you can say that I haven't already said to myself.
13:10Remember when Fin Tully pantsed you in gym class?
13:17I actually forgot about that.
13:31Look at you. A boy pretending to be a man. You never grew up, and that's why you're a mere
13:37shadow of what Master Rue was.
13:40That may be true, but I...
13:43You still don't know what being the Green Ninja really means.
13:47How deluded and full of yourself do you have to be to think you could master a power you can't
13:53even understand?
13:54I still...
13:55It's only a matter of time before the entire world falls because of your failures as a leader.
14:01And the worst thing? You're too clouded by your own expectations to realize you can't handle it.
14:07That's what will destroy your friends.
14:23This is the limit of your potential.
14:42It's as I foresaw.
14:47What is it?
14:48Lloyd is failing.
14:52It can't be true. Lloyd can't be failing.
14:55I don't want to lose hope either. But we have to be real about this, or we're gonna fail next.
15:02What's that thing you always tell me?
15:04Ninja never cry!
15:19Mr. Jack!
15:20I'm sorry.
15:21Huh?
15:22Uh!
15:23Uh.
15:24Uh!
15:27Uh!
15:41I fear there is no hope.
15:47Not so brave anymore!
15:59You dare ninja?
16:02Empress Beatrix. Heard a lot about you.
16:05Don't believe we've met.
16:06Cole, now let me guess.
16:08You got some evil plans.
16:10Well, I'm here to crush them.
16:14Oof. You look different than my friends described.
16:17New haircut?
16:29I've been dreaming of this day.
16:31Of crushing all of the ninja.
16:39Was this part of your dream?
17:18This is mine. And soon, all of Imperium will be mine again!
17:32What?
17:38This is getting to be a habit.
17:50He wears that hat for real?
17:54Oh, crud.
17:56Behold! I have acquired the mighty-
17:59Dispense with the formalities, please!
18:01I told you there was no reason to doubt me.
18:04We shall see.
18:06Bring the other sliver!
18:14Galako.
18:15Smekalo.
18:17Carnify.
18:18Heligrove.
18:19Tetrebor.
18:21Lestosai.
18:29With one final word, control will be yours, Empress.
18:34Bah-Va-Naut.
18:37Bah-Va-Naut!
18:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
18:42With this weapon, a weapon only one as almighty as I can wield!
18:47And will lead us to rightful glory!
18:50And eliminate all who dare defy me!
18:59I knew you weren't strong enough to face your own fears. I never had a doubt about that.
19:06Had you come when you were younger, you might have stood a chance. But you've accrued a lifetime of failures
19:12to use against you.
19:13You feel the weight of them with every blow I strike. And believe me, I know how heavy your weakness
19:21weighs on your soul.
19:22So consider this a gift. An escape from all the mistakes you've made.
19:28It's too late, Lloyd!
19:31I can feel how much hate is in your heart.
19:34Yes! For you!
19:36For us!
19:37That rage, it's hurt. It's shame. It's fear with nowhere to go.
19:43I've made a lot of mistakes. But without them, I'd never have learned.
19:48Mistakes are how we grow. You are just my weaknesses come to life.
19:53And I won't give you any more power.
19:58You'll never be able to shake the power of your own fears and failures!
20:14We should have seen his fate coming. It is a great loss among mortals.
20:20This cannot be his end. The legendary green ninja's power is to enhance, to connect.
20:28He may have failed the traditional trials, but his true gift, his true potential, is anything but traditional.
20:36No.
20:49Each tree is connected. Trees are life. I am the master of life.
21:01Lloyd.
21:16Did you just feel that?
21:23What just happened?
21:25I experienced it too.
21:28It was Lloyd. It was like I could feel his presence.
21:32But why? Did he... not survive?
21:35If he didn't, we're doomed.
