When Jay points out that the hard drive is still missing , Borg explains the device will " download " the ninja themselves , along with the Techno - Blades , into the computer where the Overlord dwells . He also explains that this is the only method to succeed , as it will be a matter of time before the digital Overlord fully drains Lloyd ' s power . . . just as sparks of golden power begin to appear before them and vanish outside . With Lloyd restrained in the capsule of the MechDragon , the Overlord starts draining his powers . Soon he uses it to bring back power in New Ninjago City for a new assault . In the top of the Borg Tower , Borg prepares the device that will lead the ninjas to the Digiverse , a digital world where they will be able to gain access to the Tower ' s central computer and fight the Overlord directly . Although apprehensive , the ninjas are " downloaded " succesfully , and they wake up in the Digiverse . In no time , they begin mastering the advantages of the digital world . In the real world , Pythor P . Chumsworth , evil Techno Wu , and the Nindroids attack Borg Tower to steal the Techno - blades . To prevent that , Borg surrounds the entrance with iron walls , but General Cryptor uses his Destructoid ' s drills to break through . However , they are immediately met by the citizens who decide to fight them . Despite this , Borg ' s artificial legs make it though and reach the top where Borg , Nya , and Pixal are guarding the comatose ninja . In the Digiverse , the ninjas begin their trek down toward the Tower ' s central computer - - ironically below the Tower , where the Overlord had been defeated years before . When the Overlord realizes they are close to him , he attempts to immobilize them , but fails due to P . I . X . A . L . electronically interfering from outside . He then turns the digitized New Ninjago City upside down , but the ninja keep moving with their digitized vehicles . Kai almost died when he tries to jump off the digital Borg Tower because his vehicle disappeared , but gets rescued by Zane . Together they get to the top - - that is , the bottom - - of the tower and insert the Techno - Blades . . . only to find the Overlord severed the circuit to the motherboard . Outside , Nya fights the Nindroids in an upgraded Samurai X suit while P . I . X . A . L . does her best to defend the ninja from the newly - arrived Pythor and evil Techno Wu . Even with her new fighting abilities , Pixal is surrounded . . . until a Nindroid - clad Garmadon arrives and disposes Pythor before facing evil Techno Wu atop of the tower . Borg , while struggling with his artificial legs , gets captured by the Nindroids . The ninja are severely beaten by the Overlord as he consumes more of Lloyd ' s golden power , proclaiming his becoming a true " golden master " of the real world and the digital world . Strengthened by Lloyd ' s proclamations that the ninja always have each other ' s strengths to fight together , Zane fights off the Overlord ' s influence and turns gold , just like Lloyd ' s true potential . Eventually the others do the same and , using Lloyd ' s shared power , reroute the circuit to the motherboard and completely destroy the Overlord virus from the system , initiating a reboot . In the real world , the machines at Borg ' s office begin to act irratically . Wu turns back to normal , as well as all the other machines in New Ninjago City . Meanwhile , the MechDragon gets out of Overlord ' s control and falls to the sea but Lloyd successfully escapes it . Nearly drained of his golden power , he notifies everyone he is alright and moves on elsewhere . However , the Overlord had not been fully destroyed nor regained a body , as he did not obtain all of Lloyd ' s power , but reverts into a more physical yet still weakened state of being within the MechDragon .
