(In the newspaper warehouse, Kai gives a speech to the refugees.)
Kai: Yes. The Overlord's army has overrun the city and driven us into hiding. Yes, we're scared and tired, but there's some good news. It's noodle time! (He hands bowls of noodles around.) Noodles for you! And you! And you! See? Your face has a hard time being sad when you're shoving noodles into it. And don't worry, there's plenty to go around! Skylor and I found a ton of supplies in a nearby warehouse! She's cooking up more as we speak.
Skylor: I know noodles! I grew up around my dad's noodle houses, after all. Sure, they were all just fronts for his criminal enterprise, but you still pick up a thing or two.
Man #1: Wow!
Man #2: Looks good.
Skylor: Flame's dying. Give me an assist?
Kai: Sure, I'll heat things up for ya. Y'know, we do make a pretty good team. So uh ... guess it's about time we made it official. We'll be a couple from now on, cool?
Skylor: Are you serious?
Kai: Uh ... uh ... yeah?
Skylor: Well, great timing, Kai! You disappear for ages and I don't hear from you like I've been forgotten. Then, out of nowhere, during the biggest crisis ever, you spring this couple stuff on me?
Kai: (He sighs.) Sorry. My elemental powers were stolen, and then I was trapped in this icy realm, and then I got stuck inside a video game, and wound up on this mountain with an evil king with a talking skull. And then my sister got turned into the ocean, so ... yeah. It's been kinda weird.
Skylor: How about we save Ninjago first, then maybe we talk about us?
Wu: These symbols make no sense! It's not the Old Tongue, it's not Merlopian, it's ... it's just gibberish!
Misako: Perhaps you need a break, Wu. I find if I step away for a moment, it's possible to see things in a new —
Cole: Woo hoo! We did it, Master Wu!
Wu: What is it, Cole?
Cole: Oh, nothing, we just managed to adjust the dispatch radio to the same frequency as our ninja comms, is all. What would you like to say?
Wu: This is Master Wu to all ninja. Can anyone read me?
Lloyd: Master Wu? It's Lloyd. I read you!
Garmadon: Who is that? Is it my brother? Tell him we're not home.
Jay: This is Jay. I'm with Nya. Great to hear your voice!
P.I.X.A.L.: P.I.X.A.L. here. I too am receiving you. Zane is with me, but he is currently indisposed.
Cole: Kai and I are with Skylor and Master Wu. We're holed up with a bunch of people at the —
Wu: Careful, Cole. Our radio signal could be intercepted.
Cole: In a place where the news never sleeps.
Nya: The newspaper warehouse!
Jay: We read you loud and clear! Nya and I are headed to the harbor to see if she can send a signal to Benthomaar and the Merlopians! Maybe they can help!
Lloyd: Send a signal? Like that time with the whales? Nya, are your powers coming back?
Nya: Sort of. I'm just not sure it'll be enough.
Wu: It's worth a try. We need all the help we can get.
Lloyd: Agreed. I'm with my father. We were looking for the Serpentine in their library, but we didn't have any luck. They've all disappeared.
Garmadon: Seriously, is that my brother? Is he talking about me? What's he saying?
Lloyd: Shh!
P.I.X.A.L.: I might be able to provide some assistance.
(In the background, Fugi-Dove fiddles around with his mech and sends Killow and Ronin flying.)
P.I.X.A.L.: Though I'm not sure how reliable they will be.
Wu: Then we must keep looking. I believe it's time to call in an old favor.
Cole: Princess Vania?
Wu: When we left Shintaro, I seem to recall her telling you if you ever needed help, all you had to do was call.
Cole: She did, but we're gonna need a much stronger transmitter than this to get a message as far as Shintaro.
Vinny: Um, excuse me? What about NGTV's broadcast tower? That could get a signal to Shintaro.
Skylor: It's on the other side of town. How would anyone get there?
Vinny: My news van is parked outside.
Cole: The streets are crawling with crystal warriors. We'd never make it.
Blazey: You might ... with the right driver!
Kai: Racer Seven?
Blazey: That was my Prime Empire name. I got a normal name now.
Kai: Oh, cool! What is it?
Blazey: Blazey H. Speed!
Cole: That's ... great. Really normal. What's the "H" stand for?
Blazey: Hyper.
Kai: Are you sure you can get us to the NGTV Tower, Blazey Hyper Speed?
Blazey: Does the car have wheels?

(At Borg Tower, Ultra Violet tries out her mech.)
P.I.X.A.L.: The user interface is very intuitive. You should have no problem adapting to the controls.
Ultra Violet: Oh, yeah. This feels kinda good! What's this do? (She fires at Borg's computer, causing part of it to explode.) Awesome! With one of these, I bet I could take down those stupid ninja once and for — (She notices P.I.X.A.L.'s glare.) never. Because that's not what I would do at all. Heh ... only save lives and be good.
Fugi-Dove: Fugi-Dove is no more ... for behold! I am now ... Mecha-Dove! Check out my moves! (He accidentally crashes into Borg's computer.) My whirring servos fill the night! Awesome, right?
(Killow struggles to fit into his mech.)
P.I.X.A.L.: The mech's appendages are equipped with ergonomic expandable isomorphic nanostructures.
Cyrus Borg: P.I.X.A.L.?
P.I.X.A.L.: Any change?
Cyrus Borg: Zane's neural net processor is fully operational, but his memory banks are damaged. He's like a person in a coma.
P.I.X.A.L.: An unfortunate analogy. But coma patients have been known to recover.
Cyrus Borg: Some, but ... Zane isn't human. He's a Nindroid.
P.I.X.A.L.: Is there nothing else you can do?
Cyrus Borg: I can try one or two more tricks, but ...
P.I.X.A.L.: I understand. Please do what you can.

(On the streets, Blazey, Cole, and Vinny make their way to the van.)
Cole: So, you really think you can get us there in this?
Vinny: What's wrong with it?
Cole: Nothing. It's just not exactly the kind of vehicle Racer — I mean Blazey — used to win the Speedway Five-Billion.
Blazey: Doesn't matter. If it moves, I can race it. (She blasts a nearby car to distract the crystalized citizens and the three board the van.)
Vinny: Now, the one thing is, repairs come out of my paycheck, so ... heh.
Blazey: Vinny, is it? I'm gonna be straight with you, Vinny. That paycheck of yours? Kiss it goodbye.
(She drives off as Vinny screams.)

(At Borg Tower, Borg disconnects a wire from Zane.)
Cyrus Borg: I'm sorry, P.I.X.A.L..
Ultra Violet: Time's tickin'! We're ready to roll!
P.I.X.A.L.: Zane? Can you hear me? It's me. P.I.X.A.L..
(Borg sighs and wheels himself away to give P.I.X.A.L. privacy.)
P.I.X.A.L.: Please, Zane. If you can hear me, give me a sign. Anything. (Zane remains motionless.) It seems the Zane I knew is gone. (To the others) I will say my goodbyes, and then we will join the fight. (To Zane) Zane. I was once just a Nindroid. A machine. And then, long ago, in a different battle, you gave up half your power source to save me. In that moment, you changed me. I felt things ... I never felt before. I felt ... love. For you. Our friends need us now, and I must go to battle. If I am able, I will return. I do not know if there is anything after this life for beings such as you or I, but if there is ... I will find you there. Goodbye, my Zane. (She kisses him, then turns to the others.) I am ready now.
(She walks away somberly. Just then, Zane wakes up.)
Zane: P.I.X.A.L.? P.I.X.A.L..
P.I.X.A.L.: Zane? (She screams in joy.) You're alive! (She leaps into Zane's arms and he spins her around.)
Cyrus: But — how?
Zane: I do not know. All I know is, I heard P.I.X.A.L.'s voice, and suddenly, I remembered. You brought me back.
(The others shed tears quietly while Fugi-Dove sobs.)
Ultra Violet: Are you crying?
Fugi-Dove: I'm not crying, you're crying!
Ultra Violet: Ugh, enough waiting around. We've got some crystal warriors to smash! You ready or not?
P.I.X.A.L.: One moment. MiniPix, do you copy? Have you finished installing the auto-flight system on my mech? (MiniPix Seven beeps.) Good. I require it at once. Please dispatch it to my coordinates. (To the others) Now I am ready.
