The Blades of Deliverance

Title card.

**The Blades of Deliverance** will be the first part of the fifty-second episode of the second season of LEGO Ninjago & My Little Pony: Living the Pony Life. This and the next episode are based on the LEGO Ninjago episode, *The Two Blades*. Along with "The Escort", it was paired with "A Monsterly Friendship" and "Dungeon Trap!".

## Synopsis

*The Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan and Spike know the legend of the two blades.*

**Teletoon**: *The Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan and Spike knew about the two Blades of Deliverance, two gifts for the Munce and the Geckles that Lilly, Pear Butter and Princess Eternity give.*

## Plot

Master Wu and Vania are inside the Kingdom of Shintaro using cardboard costumes of the Ninja and the Mane Six to make it seem the Ninja have escaped from the Dungeons of Shintaro when being watched by one of the Winged Guards of Shintaro. They do this to avoid Vania's father from knowing where the Ninja actually are and the two have hope they are just fine.

However, that's not the case as the Ninja, the Mane Six, Spike, Megan, the Shintaro Crystal Guardians and Kitonaru are forced to mine for an unknown substance. As Lloyd and Twilight Sparkle are mining, he realizes it's Vengestone which is why the Ninja and the five Shintaro Crystal Guardians are unable to use their Elemental Powers and the fellow ponies are unable to use their Magic. The Ninja, the Mane Six, Spike, Megan and Kitonaru then see one of the Awakened Warriors using a whip to punish a Mino for not working hard enough. Cole catches sight of the torture and throws his ax at the Awaken Warrior's whip causing it to fly out of his hands. The undead skeleton then attempts to punish Cole, but Nya is able to grab the Awaken Warrior and Cole finishes him off by dropping his ball chain on the skeleton.

The Geckles as well as the Munce appreciate the Ninja, the Mane Six, Spike and Megan for standing up, but they are met with reinforcement and are imprisoned for their actions. As they stand, Murt gives Lloyd and Twilight some food, but Gliff tells Lloyd to not trust him. The two then get into an argument before Lloyd breaks up the two. Lloyd then asks why the two tribes dislike each other and the rest of the Ninja, the Mane Six, the Shintaro Crystal Guardians, Spike and Megan also ask.

Gliff tells them about the two Blades of Deliverance: the Ivory Blade of Deliverance and the Shadow Blade of Deliverance. He said it was possessed by a powerful warrior named "Gilly" although Murt believes the name is "Milly". During the time when the Geckles and Munce were living in fear due to a dragon, the warrior went up and defeated the dragon, along with the Sky Princess and Pear Butter. After "Gilly" defeated the dragon, "Gilly" gave the Ivory Blade of Deliverance to the Geckles while giving the Shadow Blade of Deliverance to the Munce. Gliff then starts to argue blaming the Munce for stealing the other sword while Murt thinks the opposite.

After they hear the story, they wonder if someone else stole the Blades of Deliverance and caused the rift between the two tribes so they couldn't fight the Skull Sorcerer. Lloyd and Twilight then formulates a plan to break out, but it requires Cole to find common ground between the two tribes.
