He then shows Kai a portrait of Arcturus and announces with Lloyd ' s power , he ' d be unstoppable . He then tells Kai he knows he ' s still jealous Lloyd became the Green Ninja < nowiki > < / nowiki > and offers to give him the power he wanted to try for so long .

Chen , Clouse , and Skylor approach and inform them of Lloyd ' s defeat and that his power will be taken soon . Nya questions how they were able to defeat him to which Kai enters , saying Lloyd never stood a chance alone . Garmadon , now enraged of Chen turning the Ninja against each other like he did to their ancestors , grabs Skylor and threatens her unless he and Nya are released : they call his bluff due to his reform and he ' s forced to release the Orange Ninja , shocked with her father . Clouse opens a tunnel < nowiki > < / nowiki > door for his snake to enter after its nap while Nya tries to talk sense < nowiki > < / nowiki > into her brother . As everyone leaves , Kai winks at them , revealing he only pretended to switch sides to gain Chen ' s trust . As Chen and Clouse leave to prepare for the ceremony , Kai pulls Skylor back and explains he < nowiki > < / nowiki > can get the Staff . Skylor asks why he ' d tell her after her betrayal : Kai states she let him go for a reason , with her feeling for him being the most obvious choice which she admits .
