A . L . since the memorial . Lloyd then decides to get the team back . Jay now hosts his own T . V . show to find a new hero for Ninjago .

She states that a Ninja never quit and starts jumping < nowiki > < / nowiki > through obstacles . However , she fails but is proud to have gotten farther than the previous time . The game is over ; Jay goes to his dressing room . Unbeknownst to the Master of Lightning , Lloyd appears . He < nowiki > < / nowiki > tells Jay to visit Wu and consider rejoining the team . Jay declines , due to his hatred against Cole for Nya ' s feelings towards him and Lloyd disappears , while telling him to visit him if he changes his mind . Cole is shown to have become a lumberjack . Out of nowhere , the Green Ninja appears again . Lloyd tries to convince Cole to get on the team , but Cole < nowiki > < / nowiki > refuses , being sick of fighting , Serpentine , < nowiki > < / nowiki > Nindroids and Jay . Meanwhile , a huge chunk of wood rolls towards the people of Ninjago , so Cole makes rocks to stop it . Lloyd leaves , also telling Cole to visit him if he changes his mind . Kai is now wrestling in underground slither pits as the Red Shogun and defeats Kruncha < nowiki > < / nowiki > before taking a break . As he sips some juice , Lloyd arrives and asks Kai to return . Like his friends , Kai says refuses , saying Lloyd doesn ' t need a team and wishing it was him who gave his life instead of Zane . Lloyd reminds him he always wants to be the one , using his obsession of becoming the Green Ninja as an example before telling him to think about < nowiki > < / nowiki > someone other than himself . Lloyd goes away telling Kai the same thing he did to his other teammates . Kai goes to the park to see the statue of the Titanium Ninja ( now covered in moss and bird dookie ) as well as the Falcon before deciding to take up Lloyd ' s offer . However , Kai isn ' t the only one to meet the Green Ninja at Chen ' s Noodle place , < nowiki > < / nowiki > as Jay and Cole had also been convinced to meet Lloyd there too . The Master of Fire reaches for sushi but Lloyd stops him , telling him to explain his plan first . Lloyd informs the Ninja his new plan : hiring a new Ninja . The others completely dislike the idea , saying Zane is not replaceable . They quickly get interrupted by a thug < nowiki > < / nowiki > and his accomplices robbing the register . Fighting the thugs and easily < nowiki > < / nowiki > defeating them , Lloyd asks how they could walk away from this kind of action . The gang immediately run out the back , where the Ninja follow only to see the three have disappeared . The foursome soon see a drawn picture of Zane attached to a shrine . They also see a plate of fortune cookies , each with an invitation to a Tournament of Elements < nowiki > < / nowiki > hosted by Master Chen , the owner of the Noodle House . They ' re surprised < nowiki > < / nowiki > to see the invites saying that Zane is alive and will be freed if they participate and win . They decide to accept and avoid telling anybody due < nowiki > < / nowiki > to the invite ' s recommendations . At Garmadon ' s Monastery , The former lord sees blueprints for the Destiny ' s Bounty and questions Nya < nowiki > < / nowiki > if she plans to rebuilt the ship . She says yes and asks him to see if Lloyd wants to join in . In his room , the green Ninja finishes packing and comes close to taking his weapons when his father comes in and asks him where he ' s going . Lloyd lies and tells him that he and the others are going fishing to strengthen them and questions if there are other elemental masters , which Garmadon becomes suspicious of . Lloyd tells him < nowiki > < / nowiki > to ignore the question and leaves ; Garmadon soon sees that Lloyd left his fishing poles behind and upon seeing a takeout box of Chen ' s Noodle House , he realizes that Lloyd had lied to him . At the docks , the Ninja see the other elemental masters while realizing their suits give them away . Lloyd soon approaches and explains what happened with his father . A ferry soon arrives , and everyone begins boarding when a woman in orange < nowiki > < / nowiki > looks back at Kai , causing him to ignore everything Lloyd says . A man soon stops the Ninja , telling them that as masters of Spinjitzu , they ' ll < nowiki > < / nowiki > have a favorable advantage before throwing Jay ' s nunchucks into the sea . They soon begin boarding the ship when Garmadon comes and tries to stop them , warning them that Master Chen is a dangerous man . Lloyd retorts by saying that they have to find Zane . Against the better judgement of Clouse , Chen ' s ex - second - in - command , Garmadon accompanies the Ninja on board , where they meet the other Elemental Masters . On deck , Lloyd questions Garmadon about his knowing Clouse while Kai questions him about the other elements . Garmadon explains that they were < nowiki > < / nowiki > led to believe they were special , yet never question where or how the got their powers . He then states everyone on board is a descendant of an < nowiki > < / nowiki > original elemental master , guardians to the First Spinjitzu Master . < nowiki > < / nowiki > Kai then realizes the same thing goes for Nya , though he states she can ' t do what he can ; Garmadon only says power can be awoken when needed < nowiki > < / nowiki > most . He goes on , saying the fighters serve no master , yet unlocked their true potentials . He uses a pale stranger turning himself invisible with the power of Light as one example , then uses Griffin Turner , master of Speed < nowiki > < / nowiki > as another . Kai question him about the hooded woman , though Garmadon says he doesn ' t recognize everyone ; he then warns the Ninja they will gun for them as they fight with honor , which means nothing where they ' re < nowiki > < / nowiki > going . The woman is soon being pulled by a brute wearing gauntlets , annoying Kai to take action . The brute , introducing himself as Karlof , < nowiki > < / nowiki > states he only wants her cloak , though Kai begins to insult him and his < nowiki > < / nowiki > gauntlets . Despite the woman and Garmadon telling him to ease up , Kai continues insulting Karlof until he punches the red Ninja across the deck . Jay , Cole and Lloyd attempt to intervene , but Garmadon tells them Kai needs to be the one to end what he started . The red Ninja soon gets back on his feet and starts shooting fireballs at Karlof : however , he blocks them all with his gauntlets while also revealing his element : Metal . < nowiki > < / nowiki > The two brawl all over the ship until Karlof pins Kai down ; just before < nowiki > < / nowiki > he finishes it , Clouse calls them off . The woman apologizes to Kai and helps him up ; unbeknownst to him , a strange energy flows from his arm and into hers . Clouse announces that they ' ve reached Chen ' s island , < nowiki > < / nowiki > then calls Chen , telling him that Garmadon has returned . Garmadon states he swore to never return and while the Ninja wonder where they will find Zane , Chen checks up on the newly - revealed Titanium Ninja being kept under lock and key . As Chen says he holds all the cards , Zane < nowiki > < / nowiki > is shown awakening in his cell .
