" Pilot Episodes ( 10 Episodes ) . " Way of the Ninja " . The episode opens with Kai and Nya working in their family blacksmith shop , ' Four Weapons ’ , after their father ' s recent death . The two are approached by Sensei Wu , who shows disdain for the weapons they make , saying they are useless in the art of stealth , and are no weapons for a Ninja . Kai drives him off , who in turn disappears when Kai turns his back . Moments later , a dark cloud appears over the village , catching the eye of the local villagers and farmers . On the edge of the hill , a large vehicle ( the Skull Truck ) appears along with a group of motorcycles , all of which have Skeletons on board , notably Nuckal , Kruncha , and Samukai . The Skeletons begin to attack in search of a map to the Golden Weapons , causing the villagers to flee in terror . Kai dons a set of hand - crafted samurai armour , a helmet , and arms himself with a sword , before engaging the Skeletons in battle . Nya disobeys Kai ' s order to stay back , and begins attacking skeletons . Kai is nearly killed by Samukai after a water tower falls on him , but he was saved by Sensei Wu , who reappears just in time . Nya , meanwhile , is snagged by a skull grappling hook , and kidnapped under the orders of someone named ‘ Lord Garmadon ’ . Wu tells Kai the story of Ninjago , finishing by telling him that Kai ' s father was given a map made by Sensei Wu to hide the Golden Weapons from Garmadon , Wu ' s older brother . Realising that Garmadon has struck a deal with Samukai , ( former ) King of the Underworld , Wu asks Kai to join him in his battle against Garmadon as the Ninja of Fire . Kai at first refuses to get involved , but finally joins Wu after realising that he won ' t stand a chance of rescuing Nya without Spinjitzu , which Sensei Wu promises to teach . Kai begins to train in Sensei Wu ' s Monastery , by completing an obstacle course . When he completes the course and asks for his Spinjitzu training , Wu simply says that he has already learned Spinjitzu , and that his final test will come . ¨The Golden Weapon¨ . While Kai is brushing this teeth he is attacked by three mysterious Ninja . A battle between Kai and the Ninja causes him to be thrown out onto the training grounds . Kai activates the training course and the obstacles disarm the attackers , beginning an unarmed fight . Moments later , Sensei Wu stops the fight , revealing that the three are his other students . Wu then uses Spinjitzu to transform their black suits into different coloured outfits , reflecting the elements that they will possess . The four are introduced to each other : Cole , the Black Ninja of Earth , who is solid as rock , Jay , the Blue Ninja of Lightning , Zane , the White Ninja of Ice , seer with a sixth sense , and Kai , the Red Ninja of Fire . After they introduce themselves , Wu announces that the search for the Golden Weapons has begun . The first destination is the Caves of Despair , where Kai races off in hopes of finding Nya . Krazi spots him , and nearly raises alarm , but the three remaining Ninja disarm ( and ‘ rearrange ’ ) him quietly and reunite with Kai , who has found the Map . After snatching the map from Samukai , the four then capture the weapon , but are they are confronted by Samukai and a whole legion of Skeletons . Jay ( Ninjago ) notices the enemies were similar to the training course , and after travelling through the motions Wu taught him , he manages to summon a tornado of energy corresponding with his element , finally performing Spinjitzu . The others follow , remembering the motions from the training course . Samukai and his army retreat , as they are unable to deal with the Ninja and their newfound abilities . Just as they are about to escape , the Earth Dragon , guardian of the Scythe of Quakes , appears behind them and attacks , believing them to be stealing it . In desperation , Kai uses the Scythe to create an opening that they escape from , despite Wu ' s instruction not to use the weapon ' s power , as no mortal is powerful enough to wield it . A rift appears in the cave ceiling , with the falling rocks partly covering the dragon , leaving it unable to stop the Ninja from escaping using Spinjitzu . Though triumphant , Wu is angry at Kai for using the weapon regardless of his warnings . The episode ends with Samukai addressing his dark master , who has not yet been shown , telling him that he has failed . With a laugh , however , the shadow speaks that everything is going according to plan . " King of Shadows " . As the Ninja are heading to the Shurikens of Ice , Sensei Wu tells them of the most powerful move in Spinjitzu : the Tornado of Creation . Kai attempts it , with a warning from Wu that if done incorrectly , it will lead to disastrous consequences . The boat arrives , crashing into the island and knocking them down , causing Kai to mistake the crash for his own doing with the Tornado of Creation , however Sensei Wu tells him otherwise as they embark onto the Frozen Plains . Zane is frozen when he makes contact with the Shurikens , and is used as a toboggan for the other three to escape from the Ice Dragon . Later , at the Floating Ruins , it is discovered that they are being followed by Samukai , who now has full knowledge of Lord Garmadon ' s plan . Using one of Jay ( Ninjago ) ' s more useful inventions , the four escape from the Lightning Dragon with the Nunchucks of Lightning . Using Jay ' s invention , coupled with the high altitude from the Floating Ruins , the Ninja are able to fly all the way to the Forest of Tranquility , the location of the Sword of Fire . After a campfire party , followed by bedtime beside the embers , Kai is awoken by none other than Nya ! She runs away , and Kai chases her through the forest , entering the Fire Temple . Nya runs onto a platform and transforms into a giant black shadow , having only been an illusion made by Lord Garmadon to deceive Kai into entering the Fire Temple to steal him the Sword of Fire , as in his shadow form he cannot touch it . He exploits the fact that Kai had forgotten his sword , and reveals that the real Nya is hanging from chains above the lava . Garmadon tells him the only way to cut the chains to save Nya is to pull the Sword of Fire out of its rock . Kai obtains the sword , cuts Nya free and is then confronted by Garmadon ' s shadows , which he cannot harm . Wu arrives and attempts to save them , but Lord Garmadon awakens the Fire Dragon , who believes them to be stealing the Sword of Fire . Sensei Wu then decides to make a sacrifice and take the Sword of Fire with him to the Underworld . Kai tries to tell Wu that is was his fault and his sacrifice to make , as he blames himself for going after " Nya " alone , but it is too late . Meanwhile , Lord Garmadon travels to the forest , where the Skeletons have tied Cole , Jay and Zane to a tree and tells Samukai and his army to return to the Underworld to unite the weapons before it ' s too late . Jay grabs Nuckal ' s sword and is able to cut the rope and release them just as the skeletons are leaving . The three Ninja begin to chase the Skeletons ’ convoy and regain the Golden Weapons , but are , however , struck with difficulty slowing down the Skull Truck . As the Ninja find out , when the vehicles travel fast enough , they can create portals to the Underworld and escape . Because of the Skull Truck ' s massive size , it must go faster than the Skull Motorbikes and Turbo Shredders to make the crossing . The driver tries to get the truck up to speed , but is slowed down by Cole . Jay attempts to retrieve the Golden Weapons by breaking the lock with his fist , only to realise the reason that keys were made . Jay is then accidentally hit by Cole ’ s scythe , losing his voice . Zane attempts to take control of the driving seat , but Samukai is already there . Tossing Bonezai aside , he grabs the wheel and floors the pedal , throwing Zane , Cole , and Jay off and onto the road . The truck is able to make the crossing to the Underworld , just before it would have hit a stone wall . ¨Weapons Of Destiny¨ . Sensei Wu awakes in the Underworld , his journey having knocked him out and begins to search for Lord Garmadon . Zane , Cole , and Jay arrive at the Fire Temple , but Zane ' s sixth sense tells them that all four weapons are now in the Underworld , and that Kai and Wu have failed . Cole admits with a sigh that they have been defeated , and that there ' s no way now to regain control of the weapons . He is proven wrong in several moments , as Kai and Nya appear aback the Fire Dragon , whom now fully understands the situation and conveniently , has the ability to cross over to the Underworld . Cole points out that there ' s no way for all of them to fit on the one dragon but Kai , or rather the Fire Dragon , has a solution , calling to the other three Elemental Dragons with an almighty roar . The dragons pass to the Underworld , and the four Ninja attempt to silently sneak into Garmadon ' s Fortress . Swinging from stalactites , the Ninja are close to their goal when Jay , still speechless , notices that they are actually hanging from the legs of Bone Spiders . Unable to receive his warning , the four plummet to the ground , where Nuckal raises the Ninja Alarm ( but not before asking if the plural of ninja was ‘ ninja ’ , or ‘ ninjas ’ ) . Jay is able to gain usage of his voice back in time to remind the others of the Tornado of Creation , which they successfully attempt , turning the fortress into a caged Ferris wheel , entrapping the Skeletons inside it . Meanwhile , in Lord Garmadon ' s throne room , Sensei Wu has used the Sword of Fire to destroy a group of skeletons , stating that Garmadon will have to take the Sword from him . Garmadon calls on Samukai , who now holds the Shurikens , Nunchucks , and the Scythe . The four Ninja arrive to witness the battle , but choose to let Wu fight Samukai on his own . Samukai defeats Sensei Wu and obtains the Sword . He turns on Garmadon , keeping all the power for himself , but is unable to contain all of the energy streaming through him . The weapons fuse and disintegrate Samukai , in the process opening a time portal that Garmadon jumps through and escapes the Underworld , but not before promising to one day wield all four weapons and use them to recreate the world in his image . Though Garmadon is gone , Wu sighs and states that he will one day return , and perhaps with the power to do as he pleases . The four Ninja pick up their Golden Weapons , with Kai reassuring Wu that " We ' ll be ready for him " . They return on the dragons to the blacksmith shop and reunite with Nya , becoming heroes across Ninjago . " Secrets of the Blacksmith " . Jay takes Nya back to the " Four Weapons " blacksmith shop on his dragon so she can pack as she is now moving in with the Ninja . She packs several weapons and puts a necklace on her arm . Then , Wyplash and three other Skeletons attack , only to be defeated with ease by Nya . Jay hears them fighting , and goes to see what ’ s wrong , only to see that Nya is alright and having her tell him that she just " Knocked down some Samurai helmets and stuff . " They both get on the dragon to fly back to the monastery while Wyplash and the other three skeletons decide not to tell anyone what happened . " Flight of the Dragon Ninja " . Kai , Cole , Jay , and Zane decide to have a race with their dragons to earn the " Dragon Ninja " title . Jay thinks he will win since he won the last time they raced . At first , Zane is worried Sensei Wu might find out they are not training , but then Kai tells him riding their dragons is a type of training . The race then begins , with each Ninja using their dragons ’ powers to their advantage but in the end Cole wins , but he is told by Kai that " We ' ll get you tomorrow " , which upsets Cole because they didn ' t agree to have him Dragon Ninja for a month like Jay . " The New Masters of Spinjitzu " . The episode begins showing Nuckal and Kruncha who are still on the Ferris wheel the Ninja made using the Tornado of Creation . Kruncha then comes up with the idea to steal the Golden Weapons so they can do Spinjitzu themselves . They use the Skull Truck to go to the monastery and once they are there , they sneak up on the Ninja while they are sleeping and steal the Golden Weapons . They were able to do Spinjitzu , but are unable to control it and ended up turning the training course on . Kai , then ( not noticing the generals ) turns off the training course and yells at Jay to fix it , who replies , " I ' ll do it tomorrow . " Nuckal and Kruncha then decide to put the weapons back where they found them . The episode ends with the generals arguing over whose idea it was . " An Underworldly Takeover " . Cole asks Sensei Wu how Lord Garmadon had control over the Skulkin , resulting in Wu telling him that he and Garmadon were friends before Garmadon ’ s fall . A flashback then shows Garmadon after he fell into the Underworld , with Samukai and his Skeletons closing in on him . Garmadon then fights Samukai and uses Spinjitzu to win , he then takes Samukai ' s helmet and claims the title " King of the Underworld " . It is then revealed Wu doesn ' t know how Garmadon became their leader and then speculates that they " Talked it over a nice cup of tea . " " Return to the Fire Temple " . Flame takes Kai and Nya back to the Fire Temple to show them a secret entrance that leads to the Underworld , where Wyplash and Krazi ( whose name is misspelled " Krazy " in the credits ) along with four other Skeletons are standing guard . Krazi notices Kai and then tells Wyplash that " We ' ve got company . " Wyplash then tells the other four Skeletons to attack Kai while Krazi stays by his side . Kai uses the Sword of Fire to knock out the Skeletons ’ axes , but he is picked up by the Skeletons and is unable to escape the grasp of the Skeletons , not even when using Spinjitzu . Flame then uses his fire breath to attack the Skeletons . The Skeletons then escape through the entrance which later becomes blocked off by boulders . Kruncha then blames Nuckal for " leaving the stove on " thinking that was the reason for the boulders . " Battle Between Brothers " . Zane notices Sensei Wu ' s new kimono and tells him it is " Most extraordinary . " Wu thanks Zane and tells him it has powers against evil and reminds him of the day Lord Garmadon was banished to the Underworld . There is then a flashback showing a younger Garmadon taking the weapons from their stands , with Wu walking in and telling him that the weapons are for display , but Garmadon replies , " Tell me , brother , what good is a weapon if all its used for is collecting dust ? " Wu tells him not to be a fool , only for Garmadon to tell him their father was a fool . Wu and Garmadon then battle over the weapons , leading to Garmadon getting struck by lightning and falling into the Underworld after attempting to kill Wu .

Unfortunately , the idea backfires when Kai ' s sword starts an elemental fire which cannot be put out .

The plan almost succeeds , but Skales enforces Cole ' s hypnotic spell , causing him to fight the Ninja and nearly bring the fort down with them on it . In the nick of time , though , Sensei and Nya arrive on Flame , Kai ' s dragon , while Sensei plays a flute that breaks Skales ’ spell , allowing Cole to resume control over himself . After rescuing them and destroying the fort , Wu explains the flute is as old as the Serpentine themselves , and is also sacred , as it will play a large role in the Serpentine ' s downfall .

Ninjas get too close from destroying Overlord after they all turn into golden ninjas . They manage to destroy Overlord and the system gets rebooted . All machines at the New Ninjago City turn back to normal , including Wu who was fighting Garmadon in the time system gets rebooted . As it is rebooted , MechDragon , where Lloyd is captured gets out of control of the Overlord and falls down to the sea , while Lloyd escapes through it ' s mouth . He makes contact with the ninjas who are back from the Digiverse , Garmadon , and Wu , saying that he ' s alive . They have no idea , though , that Overlord succeeded enough to create a rough form of his Golden Master body before system is rebooted . 32 . " Codename : Arcturus " . Nindroids find the Overlord in the sunk MechDragon and lift it up with air balloons . Lloyd and ninjas get back to the Temple of Light where Lloyd gets his golden powers back again .

L starts controlling his machine . When he comes to a bridge , Cryptor sees him and sends few Nindroid flyers to destroy his car . Kai repels their attack . Cryptor shoots the mountain with rockets so rocks fall down on the road , but Kai destroys them and makes a free way again . P . I . X . A . L activates X - 1 ' s interceptor motorcycle so he can reach Cryptor ' s truck , but Kai fails to control it and ends up on the top of an oil tank where he fights Nindroids . When he uses his fire spinjitzu , he lits the whole tank which is now going to explode . Kai fights Min - Droid . When the fuel tank explodes , Kai hides under Cryptor ' s truck . He hears Pythor talking to the Overlord by radio . He tells P . I . X . A . L how Overlord is still alive , but Pythor discovers his " perfect hiding spot " few seconds after and takes him to the lost city of Ouroborus . When Jay , Nya and Cole get out of the cinema , they ask her who will she pick . She says she picks a robot Jole , a mixture of Jay and Cole . Suddenly , lights come from the Borg Tower so they climb up to see what is going on , where they find Lloyd , Garmadon , Zane , Wu and P . I . X . A . L , who tell them about Pythor who kidnapped Kai and that " Project Arcturus " is a clue about Overlord ' s next project . P . I . X . A . L cannot find anything related to Arcturus , which is impossible because she has got every moment in Ninjago ' s history in her database . However , Garmadon remembers that the only thing that P . I . X . A . L doesn ' t have in her base is what happened when they get back in time , which is destruction of Megaweapon , which after it ' s destruction was sent to space . When he explains that , ninjas realize that Overlord ' s plan is to get to space and bring back the Golden Weapons , the only thing that can make him the Golden Master . Zane searches Serpentines ' shelters and finds out that Pythor is holding Kai in the Ouroboros . When they arrive to the city , they get disappointed after they don ' t find anything , but soon after that a huge door beneath them opens and they fall into a huge underground base with a huge rocketship called " Arcturus " in the center . They fight Nindroids and save Kai . Lloyd realizes that Pythor is going to launch Arcturus to the space , but Overborg stops him from stopping Pythor . Nindroids and General Cryptor retreat and enter the rocket , and Pythor starts the launch . Ninjas enter inside the rocket and " Arcturus " blasts off to the space . 33 . " The Void " . While the Arcturus rocket is bursting through space , the ninjas are trapped in its engine part . They make contact with Sensei Wu , Garmadon , Nya and Pixal in the Borg Tower and voice their concerns about their current predicament . Wu discovers there are space suits inside the ship , which can lead them to go outside and take control of the ship . Zane goes out and tries to search them , due to not needing oxygen as a Nindroid . He gets to far off the ship , but uses his ice powers to get back . He finds the suits and gives them to the other ninjas just as the rocket disengages its engine parts . However when they climb up toward the door leading to the cockpit they get attacked by Nindroids , who start to use their laser guns . Following Jay ' s initiative and learning their Spinjitzu does not work in zero - gravity , the others take the laser guns too so they successfully repel the attack . Soon the Arcturus enters an incoming comet ' s tail and gets in super speed . In New Ninjago City , the Overborg , Pythor and Nindroids bring the capsule with the Overlord inside the Borg Tower . When Nya and others up in Borg ' s office realize that , they quickly get away while taking with them the equipment needed to keep in contact with the ninja . Meanwhile , the Nindroids enter the office and open the capsule , releasing the Overlord in a blackened form of the Golden Master . Overborg attacks Wu , Garmadon , and Nya but they save themselves with Hover Copter controlled by P . I . X . A . L ' s central computer . In space , the Arcturus rocket crashes on the comet ' s surface where the melted and fused forms of the Golden Weapons are located . General Cryptor discovers the Golden Weapons and warns his Nindroid minions to not touch them , as one discovers why . The hidden ninja discover them too as Jay excitedly finds an extraterrestrial beetle . Unfortunately , said bugs eat anything metal - - a fact that reaches them from Nya too late . While the Nindroids get away with the golden mass aboard their ROV , the ninja follow pursuit in their own while using the pursuing bugs against their robotic adversaries . The ninjas eventually succeed in taking Cryptor ' s ignition key to the rocket , so that they cannot leave the comet with the Golden Weapons and take them to the Overlord . However , their victory is short - lived when they find another bug swarm among the rocket - - chewed up in pieces . Seeing this as well , Cryptor and the other surviving Nindroids use their built - in boosters to fly off the comet with their golden prize . Stranded on the surface with the insects , the ninja report to the others that they had failed and are not coming back home . 34 . " The Titanium Ninja " . The Ninja use their Elemental Powers to rebuild the spaceship and back to Ninjago . They rush back to new Ninjago City and know that they need to find Cyrus Borg in a temple but the Overlord chases them with a Golden Master Spinjizu of destruction , but at last they go to the temple and activate the shield to protect themselves from the Golden Power . The temple that the Ninja refuge is where the Overlord ' s Stone Warriors once hid from the First Spinjitzu Master . Here , they meet with Cyrus Borg who imparted them his newest secret weapon : a shrinking pill to weaken the Overlord . Donning armor from the Stone Warrior remains which results in new Techno - Robe armor , the Ninja begin to find the Overlord has completely taken over and become the Golden Master ! Shooting out beams of pure energy to create a sort of spiderweb for his Mech which he uses to empower him , the Overlord asserts his authority by threatening the lives of the citizens , but fails as Skales and the Serpentine help them into the underground . The Ninja travel along the beams , protected by their armour and drawing the Overlord ' s fire away from Sensei Wu and Garmadon so that they can hit the pill into the Overlord ' s mouth . They succeed in hitting it , but Pythor ends up swallowing it and turning smaller ! Worse for him , the falcon spots him and chases him . The Overlord taunts the Ninja and captures all but Zane , who rallies the Ninja to support him one last time . Zane uses them to jump up to the Mech , but when he touches the Golden Armor of the Mech , he begins to glow as no one can survive all of the Golden Weapons ' power at once . The Overlord taunts Zane even more , but he does not give up ; instead he tells the Overlord that the conflict is no longer about numbers , but about family . His resistance weakens the Golden Master ' s powers and breaks the bonds that hold the Ninja . They shout for him to let go , but Zane continues to hold on , channeling the golden energy , and uses all of his ice powers to freeze the Golden Master . While doing this , he remembers all of his memories with the ninja and with P . I . X . A . L . , including his purpose from his father ; to " protect others whom cannot protect themselves " . This gives Zane the encouragement he needs to fulfill that purpose in a massive explosion of energy . When the frost settles , the ninja find the Golden Master Overlord gone and the whole city covered in ice and snow . . . and a shell of Zane ' s left face . The next day , all of New Ninjago City ' s citizens attend Zane ' s funeral , where Kai shares a tribute to Zane and Cyrus unveils a statue of Zane , respectfully dubbing him the ‘ Titanium Ninja ’ . As a new blanket of snow begins to fall , the remaining Ninja , their Senseis , Nya , and Dareth gather together in front of the statue . Back in Borg Industries , P . I . X . A . L . is seen leaning against the window , mourning Zane , when she suddenly hears many of their previous conversations played aloud out of the Industries ’ computers - - one of which shows the production line activating on its own . She then runs there and , upon arrival , hears a new digitized voice much to her joy : " Are we compatible now ? " Season 4 ( 10 Episodes ) . 35 . " The Invitation " . A period of time has passed since the climatic battle in New Ninjago City , with Lloyd continuing his training exercises within Cyrus Borg ' s hologram rooms . When asked of the other Ninjas ' whereabouts , he hesitates before replying they have other things to do . Borg says he sympathizes ; the Ninja have never been the same since Zane sacrificed himself , and even P . I . X . A . L . hasn ' t been seen since the memorial . However , Sensei Wu encourages Lloyd to get them together as a team again . Eventually after some coaxing , Lloyd succeeds in bringing Jay , Cole , and Kai from their own separate lifestyles , meeting at a sushi restaurant . Although the three are indignant about working together again without Zane , they are brought to doing just that by saving the place from local thugs . Pursuing them to the back , the four find the area empty except a simple shrine with fortune cookies and a note - - a note saying Zane is still alive ! Suspicious of the note being a cruel joke , they discover the cookies contain invitations to a Tournament of Elements held by Master Chen , who also owns the sushi place . Sworn by the notes to not tell anybody , along with the prospect of finding their old friend , the ninja decide to attend . Reaching the meeting place at the docks , they find there are also many different people waiting . . . including a girl clad in orange - yellow ninja robes who attracts Kai ' s eye . Sensei Garmadon makes an unexpected arrival , having discovered their whereabouts from Lloyd ' s questioning . Within the boat , Garmadon explains to the ninja that the other passengers also have their own elemental powers , gained from the First Spinjitzu Master ' s chosen Guardians , and that Master Chen ' s second - in - command Clouse should not be trusted . Meanwhile , when Kai sees another passenger , Karloff , start pestering the ninja girl , he interferes in her honor and a brief fight ensues between the Master of Fire and the metal - handed warrior . Chen ' s second - hand man interferes at last , and the mysterious ninja girl helps Kai up , meanwhile strange energy passes between their hands . When they finally near Chen ' s island , his assistant notifies their arrival along with Sensei Garmadon ; but Chen seems unaffected by his presence , declaring he ' s holding " all the cards " while outside a stone dungeon . . . with a blue - eyed titanium Zane chained inside . 36 . " Only One Can Remain " . As the ninja and other contenders make their way from the boat to Chen ' s palace , the ninja question Sensei Garmadon how he knows the island so well whereas they didn ' t know it existed . Garmadon explains that Chen used to be one of the First Spinjitsu Master ' s Guardians , his elemental masters , before betraying them for the Serpentine and so initiating the Serpentine War ; and as a result of his narrow defeat , Chen was sworn to not leave the island . As for Chen himself , he reveals that he used to be his sensei during his time as Lord Garmadon - - along with a snake tattoo on his shoulder for proof . When they meet within the temple , Master Chen explains the rules of the Tournament of Elements and its " rewards and glory " . Afterwards , all of the competitors ( except Garmadon , who keeps lookout outside the fortress ) are escorted by his servants to their " customized " rooms . During this , Kai is able to make a proper introduction to his neighbor , the ninja girl , who happens to be named Skylor and has an element she keeps secret from him . Suddenly , Chen speaks through microphones throughout his layout that the first challenge has begun : to collect weapons called Jade Blades to advance to the next challenge . Although caught off - guard by their fancy rooms and the other contenders , the ninja are able to stay in the tournament ; Kai makes it barely with his Jade Blade , leaving his opponent Karloff as the loser that is dropped into a hidden pit . Afterwards , the ninja get suspicious about Chen ' s true intentions and thus decide to meet that night to search the palace for Zane . As they gather in Kai ' s room ( after a close call from a warming moment between him and Skylor ) , Cole inadvertently reveals a secret way through the palace ' s walls in his bed . Leaving a trail made by Cole , they make their way between the walls ; they discover with shock that , through a peep hole , that Skylor has fire powers like Kai . Eventually , they encounter a cultist room led by Chen himself . When the captive Karloff asks about the cultists ' chanting , Chen replies their translation of " only one can remain " and forcibly removes Karloff ' s metal elemental powers . . . with ice powers ! The ninja are discovered afterwards due to their face - painted disguises melting off and manage to escape from the cultists , booby - traps , and a large purple snake . They conclude that the tournament is nothing but a front to steal everyone ' s elemental powers , including Zane ' s , for unknown reasons , and that they ' ll have to follow his rules to avoid any more detection . Elsewhere , Clouse becomes suspicious of the intruders as he pets the large , Devourer - like purple snake strikingly familiar to Pythor ' s kind . . . 37 . " Versus " . Zane is seen walking through a blizzard when he falls through the cracking ice , encountering a huge dragon made of ice and titanium - - a vision he awakes from when P . I . X . A . L . calls to him . Startled , he wonders out - loud where he is and she explains that he ' s in danger and his memory banks and elemental power scrambled . Seeing two identical spiders crawling into a hole on a nearby wall jump - starts his memory , recalling he and she " are compatible " , much to her joy and relief . Eventually , Zane manages to recall some of his new abilities and breaks free to P . I . X . A . L . ' s dungeon . . . only to find her in pieces . Devastated , he is told by her that she had to help him since she wasn ' t able to go with him . He proves her wrong by plugging her processor core into his own , downloading her entire essence into his mind . Both encouraged by their new bond , their moment is interrupted by Clouse who electrocutes Zane and tells his captors to rebind him with stronger chains . Elsewhere , Nya is talking to Wu about her troubles concerning her feelings toward jay and Cole , to which Wu is sympathetic yet cannot help with youthful emotions . Nonetheless , both of them and Misako agree that the ninjas ' absence is becoming troubling and Nya sets off in an armored transport to find them . On Chen ' s island , Sensei Garmadon and the ninja are discussing what Chen could be up to , though it leads to another argument between Cole and Jay . Garmadon tells them that holding grudges only causes harm , which Lloyd agrees , saying they are not each other ' s opponents . Just then , Chen announces the next round is about to continue : Speed vs Gravity ; Nature vs Mind ; and Smoke . . . vs Fire . The round has close calls , but Kai manages to win his Jade Blade , to Skylor ' s secret elation . Afterwards , Clouse voices his suspicions of the ninja and Chen rebuffs him from using his sorcery again with another means to divide them . . . which happens to be switching Earth and Lightning against each other , as the ninja find with horror and anger . With little time left , they turn to Kai ' s idea of making a friend from their enemies ; reading Lloyd ' s mind , Neuro the Elemental Master of Mind , is convinced of Chen ' s true intentions and becomes an ally . By the time the next round comes , Neuro returns from scouting ; he reports to the ninja that he couldn ' t get past Clouse ' s will , but he did see from his mind a page from Chen ' s spellbook with the elemental powers as the ingredients . Hopeful but dismayed , Cole says the idea of fighting each other was inevitable , but Lloyd reminds him that Chen is their true enemy , not Jay . It is only after Jay is forced to the ground by his powers that Cole understands what Lloyd meant , and both he and Jay admit their grudges and regrets , and become better friends again . Recognizing their truce , Chen attempts to make them fight each other with his minions and " condrai crushers " , but both ninja still work together to beat their true opponents , making the other masters cheer more . This sets Chen off by making the arena ground collapse on itself to make them both lose . Jay tells Cole to go for the Jade Blade , but Cole throws him the blade , telling him that he should have bowed from their fight . With the Master of Earth dropped , Garmadon encourages the remaining ninja that Cole taught everyone to " know thy enemy , and know thy friend " . . . a lesson that seemingly has a silent effect on the remaining elemental masters . On the mainland of Ninjago , Nya is still searching for the ninja when Zane ' s falcon finds her and beckons her to her disbelief to Zane ' s beacon offshore . 38 . " Ninja Roll " . On the mainland , Nya relays what she has found out to Wu , and suspects Chen ' s Noodle House ' s disappearing trucks may be linked . Disguising her transport in a holographic copy of the delivery truck , she follows them toward the docks where she unexpectedly picks up Dareth on board for the mission . On the island , Kai arrives late to the next match which , to his surprise , pits Skylor against the Master of Sound Jacob . When Sensei Garmadon questions his enthusiasm , Jay tells him about their possible family relation of fire powers , as Skylor shows by burning Jacob ' s guitar weapon . Garmadon replies that she isn ' t related to Kai ( who is delighted of the news ) , but her elemental power happens to be Amber : the power to assimilate and emulate any other she can touch . As if justifying his claim , Skylor lightly touches Jacob ' s shoulder upon distraction and uses his soundwaves to evade him and retrieve the Jade Blade . Declaring her the winner , Chen claims that he would ' ve rewarded the remaining contenders with riches had it not been for Cole and Jay ' s teamwork against his rules , and so gathers all of them into one room for the morning ' s round . Wise to his deception and concerned by the others ' resentment toward them , Jay wonders if sticking together only singles them as the main targets , but Lloyd argues that doing so actually makes them a team , which his father agrees . However , Garmadon does note that Chen will do what he can to divide and make each other their own enemies . His concerns prove true when , in the middle of the night , Clouse and his minions announce the next round ' s commencement : a roller - skating race which everyone can choose two leaders - - Lloyd , Master of Power , or Camille , Master of Form - - holding their Jade Blades . Almost immediately , the ninja are singled out against everyone else , to Chen ' s delight . When the " Thunderblade " race begins , the ninja realize they are at a big disadvantage : they are outnumbered ; only Jay can skate adequately ; their powers can do so much to keep them in ; and Chen keeps altering the race to make sure Lloyd loses . However , Kai gets the idea of " making their enemies their friends " again by telling the other masters about Chen ' s plan ; most are fully convinced when Neuro supports them . The new team then rallies and helps Lloyd gain lost ground , but this leads Chen resorting to more traps and ordering Clouse and his henchmen to rig the race , all of which fail by Garmadon and Skylor ' s interventions . When time runs out , Lloyd turns to be the winner ( by default , as Camille lost her Blade before crossing the finish line , and breaking Chen ' s claimed skating record ) , but Chen accuses him of cheating anyway . The ninja ' s new allies rally with them , claiming Chen keeps changing his own rules to his pleasing , but it ' s when Skylor sides with them that Chen angrily submits and eliminates Form instead . Amid their cheering for Lloyd , Skylor warns Kai that Chen will try even harder to make sure they lose , but Kai assures her that it ' s all the more reason to make as many friends as possible , because friends always stick together like a team . As for Cole , his time as a powerless working slave in Chen ' s Noodle Factory is anything but delicious . He is reduced to making and packaging the very noodles and foods he loved , and being covered in flour . Discovering the losing masters working there as well , deprived of their powers , he also finds that any attempt of escape means being fed to what Karloff calls the " labyrinth dweller " : the large purple snake he and the other ninja saw before . However , he finds one sign of hope ; while being led by a chain through the dungeon halls , he overhears a familiar voice . Looking in a nearby door , he finds the voice belongs to none other than Zane ! Overjoyed , he briefly converses with him while Karloff covers for his stop . When the former metal - master asks about his meeting , Cole replies that he was making a plan and friends , ensuring that Chen was about to find out the result of a separated team finding its way back together . As if by coincidence , he says this as Nya and Dareth near the shorelines of Chen ' s island .
