Believing that the new Samurai X was still in operation , Nya eventually traveled back to the cave and found Samurai X there and demanded that they reveal their identity . Samurai X used voice modulation to speak in the voices of Ronin , Dareth , Wu , Misako , Garmadon , Kai , Cole , and Nya herself , initially in an attempt to deceive Nya but eventually to plead with her to allow the secret to be kept .

After they departed with the Vermillion with Kai , Nya , and Wu in pursuit , Jay attempted to persuade Samurai X to reveal their identity but was unsuccessful , a performance repeated after Kai and Nya returned from saving time from being altered . P . I . X . A . L . reappears during season eight , where she provides support to Lloyd as he is pursuing the Sons of Garmadon .
