Ninjago S2 E12

## Plot

General Kozu returns with the helmet and Nya. Garmadon uses the dark matter on her, which turns her evil. The others arrive back at camp and tell Julien what happened. Jay is worried about Nya. They all are, but Kai assures him that Nya is tough and they'll see her again. Wu says that Lloyd can't lose faith now, and that everything rests on his shoulders. So no pressure! Lloyd says that he can't do it, bringing up how he froze. Wu says that he has to, because it's his destiny. The others assure him that he's not alone and they're all behind him. They head to Garmadon's base camp for a surprise attack, but no one's there. They follow the falcon towards large tire tracks. The weapon is heading towards the coast. Garmadon is going to use it on Ninjago. If he starts turning things evil, the balance will shift and release the Overlord. Julien heads back to the Bounty, since he's an inventor, not a fighter. He says that a part of him will always be with Zane though. Aw! The guys talk about how this might be their last fight together and start reminiscing. What they don't notice is something in the trees. Or rather, someone. It's Nya, who has been turned evil and can do Spinjitzu now. Lloyd, Misako, and Wu go on ahead while the others fight her. They reach Garmadon and try to convince him not to fire the weapon. He tries to fire it, but it has a 20 second warm up period. Misako and Wu hold off the stone army. Lloyd tries to fight his father, but Kozu stops him and the weapon fires. Garmadon fires it again. The others are losing to Nya. Zane thinks that they can use their elemental powers without hurting her. They restrain her and head to the coast to help out the others, who desperately need it. The Overlord has been using Garmadon this whole time to help free him. He possesses Garmadon's body. He's the real dark lord from the prophecy that Lloyd has to defeat. And unlike his father, the Overlord won't show Lloyd any mercy, and has no qualms about hurting and potentially killing him. He decides to target Ninjago City next. The others handle the stone army while Lloyd battles the Overlord. Garmadon tries to fight the Overlord from the inside and tells him to stay strong. However, the Overlord says that his father is gone and throws him so far and hard that he's knocked unconscious. The Overlord tries to fire another missile at him, Wu, and Misako, but it's blocked by Julien in the Bounty. He decides to just leave the island with his stone army. They head to Ninjago City through a portal. If they leave, the others will be stuck there with no way back. However, they're too late to stop the evil forces, who have been joined by Nya. The only good news is that Lloyd is alive, but he hurt his leg. They wonder if they've lost the final battle. Wu says that the important thing is that they're all still alive. Lloyd finds a piece of the Bounty with a sun on it, which is apparently a symbol for destiny in their universe. Destiny showed them that evil was stronger today. But destiny also kept them alive to fight another day. They didn't lose the final battle. They just lost the fight. Or in other words, they *did* lose the battle, but they haven't lost the war.
