Official poster

The **second season** of *LEGO Ninjago & My Little Pony: Masters of Friendship*, subtitled **The Friendship Continues**, and alternatively **Legacy of the Chosen One** or **Return of the Dark Lord**, was preceded by Snakes and Galloping Galas, and succeeded by Rebooted. Lloyd was the focus Ninja and mascot. In the first half of the season, Lord Garmadon served as the main antagonist, and the Serpentine served as the villainous faction. In the second half, the Overlord and Queen Chrysalis served as the main antagonists, and the Stone Army and Changelings served as the villainous faction.

This season is based on LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu Season 2, subtitled *Legacy of the Green Ninja* and the remaining episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic season two.

## Official Description

*Lord Garmadon has disappeared with all Four Golden Weapons and now he controls the Serpentine. Meanwhile, the ninja intensify their training of young Lloyd so he will be strong enough to defeat Lord Garmadon in the final battle. To gain evil power, Lord Garmadon goes to the Golden Peaks to convert all Four Golden Weapons into the weapon of creation – the Mega Weapon.*

## Story

With the Golden Weapons now in Lord Garmadon's possession, the Ninja begin training Lloyd so that he can face his father one day and save Ninjago, something which he was afraid to for the sake of their bond. Garmadon works to thwart the prophecy by recruiting the masterless Serpentine and merging the Golden Weapons into the powerful Mega Weapon. After Garmadon's last attempt ended with Lloyd being aged into a teenager, like his four mentors, he attempts to change the events of the past. The original four Ninja follow Garmadon and use the Golden Weapons of the past to destroy the Mega Weapon, restoring the timeline and sending the Golden Weapons into space.

While Garmadon ends up on an island with a disembodied voice called the Overlord, the venom of the Great Devourer seeps into catacombs beneath Ninjago and animates the Stone Army, trapping the Serpentine underground in the process. Along with Misako, Lloyd's mother, the Ninja travel to the Dark Island to stop Garmadon. The Ninja fail to stop the countdown to the final battle, and the Overlord is revealed to be the dark lord from the prophecy. He possesses Garmadon and heads to Ninjago and Equestria, with the Ninja in tow. After they found a way off the Island, Lloyd uses his newfound Golden Power to defeat the Overlord, purge Garmadon of his evil, and become the Golden Ninja.
