Roots/Transcript

(Atop the Crystal Island, Lloyd, Garmadon, and Harumi fight the Overlord.)
Lloyd: Stop him! Don't let him reach the crystal!
(The Overlord strikes Garmadon down.)
Lloyd: Father! (He saves him from being crushed by a crystal.) You're hurt.
Garmadon: I — I can't ...
Lloyd: It's okay. Don't try to talk.
Garmadon: (He reverts to his normal form.) I ... I'm sorry, Lloyd.
Lloyd: Hold on. You'll be okay. I'll get you out of here!
Garmadon: Save ... (He coughs.) Save yourself. It's too late for me.
Lloyd: No. (He cries.)
Overlord: Grieve not. You will soon be joining him.
(Lloyd achieves his Oni Form in anger and attacks the Overlord, but stops when he sees his reflection.)
Lloyd: No! (He reverts to his human form.)
Overlord: Fool! (He blasts Lloyd off the temple.)
Harumi: Lloyd!
----
(On the ground, Wu and the ninja look up at the temple.)
Wu: The Overlord doesn't want to destroy you! He wants to corrupt the powers of Creation!
Kai: So how do we stop them?
Wu: We're too late. (He notices the ninja holding the Golden Weapons.) The weapons! We must unite them!
Jay: Wait, what? I thought that was bad!
Kai: Yeah. You told us they'd explode, remember?
Wu: The weapons will be destroyed, unleashing the elemental energy connected to them. They will be cast out, to assume whatever form they originally had!
Cole: Without these, we don't stand a chance!
Wu: We have already lost! All we can hope now is to prevent the powers of creation from falling into the Overlord's hands.
Zane: Master Wu is correct. I see no other course of action.
(The ninja fly to the roof of the newspaper warehouse.)
Kai: Anyone have any last words?
Zane: If we do not survive this, I just want to say: I could not have asked for better friends. You have stood by me, and I by you. To the end.
Cole: To the end.
Jay: To the end.
Kai: To the end. On three!
Ninja: One, two, three!
(The Ninja reunite the weapons. A surge of power shoots upward and meets Lloyd as he falls from the temple.)
Overlord: You chose the wrong side, Harumi.
(Just then, Lloyd reappears on the Golden Ultra Dragon.)
Overlord: Impossible!
Lloyd: Ninja, go!
(The dragon and the Overlord engage in battle.)
Harumi: Lloyd!
Lloyd: Harumi! Take cover!
(The Golden Ultra Dragon defeats the Overlord. All over the city, the crystals break off.)
Harumi: Lloyd, are you okay?
Garmadon: Let's get out of here before the place explodes.
Lloyd: You —
Garmadon: What?
Lloyd: You're not dying?
Garmadon: Of course not.
Lloyd: You were faking?!
Garmadon: I was helping you achieve your Oni Form!
Lloyd: I didn't need Oni Form! It didn't even work!
Garmadon: It would have, if you hadn't been scared by your own reflection.
(The dragon carries the three to safety as the temple collapses.)
Jay: What happened?
Kai: Did it work? Did we win?
(The temple explodes, and everyone cheers.)
Nya: How?
Wu: Hmm. (He sees the Golden Ultra Dragon.) Is that —?
Cole: Where did he get a dragon?
Jay: Lloyd! (He hugs Lloyd, but spots Harumi.)
Lloyd: It's okay. She's with us.
Garmadon: It's true. She helped. Not as much as I did, perhaps, but why argue over details.
Wu: I'm so proud of you, brother!
Jay: Is that what I think it is?
Kai: I think it's us. I mean, our powers.
(The ninja approach the dragon, which begins to glow.)
Zane: What's happening?
Cole: It's fading away.
Wu: The elemental powers are returning from whence they came.
Kai: You think they'll ever return to us?
Wu: In time, surely. After all, true power is never lost.
Jay: So long, powers. Can't wait to see you again.
Cole: So, what do we do now?
Wu: What we always do. Rebuild.
----
(On a hill, Garmadon plants Christofern into the earth.)
Garmadon: There. That wasn't so bad, was it? After all, I can't keep carrying you around forever. You're a plant. You should have roots. I once thought roots were a sign of weakness. Hmm. But I was wrong. We are stronger together. I must go help my son rebuild his monastery now. Hmm. An Oni, building instead of destroying. What next? What next indeed.
(At the Monastery, the ninja attempt to lift the broken door.)
Kai: A little more!
Lloyd: It's slipping!
Cole: Oh, no!
(Jay and Nya rush to help, and they succeed.)
Kai: That's a start.
Zane: At this pace, it will require 12 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days to rebuild the monastery.
Kai: Thanks for the pep talk, Zane. You always know what to say.
Dareth: (He arrives behind them, panting heavily.) Wow... that's... a lot of steps. You guys should consider... putting in an elevator!
Kai: Dareth? What are you doing here?
Dareth: I figured you could use some help, so I, heh, brought a few friends.
("Inner Steel" plays in the background as members of the Resistance enter the monastery to help rebuild.)
Wu: Remarkable. Simply remarkable.
