## Events

### March

#### 24th

* Inside a dark chamber with a lamp in the middle, the ninja clash with several Skulkin. Defeating the undead warriors, the four of them are confronted by Samukai, who is quickly defeated by an Energy blast from Lloyd.
* Lloyd, presenting the Golden Scroll he successfully retrieved, laments his inability to decipher its contents due to being illiterate, prompting the five to note the importance of reading. Dareth, impressed by the performance, ends the film as he congratulates the crew, revealing the place to be a set and the Skulkin to be actors in costumes. Nya, arriving, is left confused about the sudden end of the movie and is told by Dareth to go teach girls how to apply make-up. With this infuriating Nya, Dareth explains how the ninja have an appearance as a "boy band" that they need to uphold, especially with his role as their manager. Despite the ninja dismissing this claim and supporting Nya's position in the group, Dareth celebrates the group's newfound fame following their defeat of the Preeminent. Now celebrities and on tabloids (some of which overplay Lloyd being a Sensei instead of a Sensei-in-Training and the now-deceased love triangle between Jay, Cole, and Nya), the six are forced to escape the studio from a rabid mob of fan girls.
* Ninjago celebrates the ninja's newfound fame, with TV show hosts attempting to bring up the love triangle for publicity.

#### 25th

* Clouse, having escaped the Cursed Realm before its destruction, buys a train ticket to Stiix.
* Aboard the Destiny's Bounty, Sensei Wu meditates with Cole, causing the latter to accidentally unlock his ability to become invisible. Shocked and ecstatic, Cole celebrates, only to notice the ruckus outside.
* Nya, still furious over Dareth's sexist remark, takes her anger out on the sparring bots, destroying them in a fit of rage. Cole, swaggering onto the deck and stumbling on Jay and Zane's chess match, reveals his new ability and comes to the conclusion that his lack of reflection in the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master was merely a vision of his invisibility. As Cole leaves, Zane confronts Jay on not mentioning Nya's presence in his reflection, with Jay deciding that he doesn't want to risk his friendship with Cole, and notes that Nya is adamant about being single. Misako, observing Nya's anger, comforts her as she returns to training.
* Lloyd, arriving on the deck, quickly gathers the others to the control room to receive word from Sensei Wu, who explains that Clouse, turned into a ghost by the Preeminent, escaped the Cursed Realm prior to its destruction. With video footage of Clouse buying a train ticket to Stiix, the ninja head there on their Elemental Dragons but decide to stop by the hospital for the Grant-a-Wish Foundation, in order to give an injured Lil' Nelson signatures on his leg casts. Declaring himself the honorary Purple Ninja, Nelson helps the six escape when a horde of fangirls storm the building, attracted by Kai's social media messages, and escorts the team to the rooftops.
* On the roof, the five attempt to hide behind a billboard from paparazzi helicopters, only for Nya to note her inability to discreetly travel to the next roof, having not learned Airjitzu yet. Jay reassures Nya that they can stay behind with her, prompting an offended Nya to remark that she doesn't need to be taken care of and can stick up for herself. Jay, trying to dismiss the remark to Cole as nothing, is confronted by Nya, who demands the implications of him referring the two as 'we'. As helicopters swarm overhead, the ninja fly up behind a billboard to hide, with Nya, unable to summon a cyclone, being offered Jay's hand. Refusing, Nya once more demands for him to answer her question, and the six are inevitably caught and surrounded by paparazzi helicopters.
* Wu goes to the Library of Domu to find information on the artifact Clouse is looking for.
* Clouse arrives at the wreckage of Stiix and begins searching.
* Dareth, on his helicopter, advises the ninja to accept the publicity. Lloyd tells him of their mission, and Dareth flies them to Stiix on his helicopter, while Clouse investigates a salvage vessel filled with rubble. Searching through the garbage, Clouse finally finds his goal, an ancient artifact known as the Teapot of Tyrahn.
* Escaping with the object, Clouse hides in an abandoned building and manages to realign the three slots on the pot, recreating the Sky Pirates insignia and freeing the Djinn trapped inside, whom he identifies as Nadakhan. Demanding to know his location and the year, Nadakhan is confronted by Clouse, who demands three wishes as payment. Nadakhan, warning the Ghost that he can't wish for love, death, or more wishes, grants Clouse's first wish, to be given the Book of Spells. Nadakhan summons the Book of Spells, which Clouse seizes. Having gotten a new source of Magic, Clouse celebrates and decides he no longer has a use for his two other wishes, only for the book to burn to ash. Nadakhan gloats and reveals to Clouse that the Book of Spells had already been burnt in a fire by Lloyd, angering the Ghost. Clouse, noting that his status as a ghost has stripped him of his Magic, demands to be turned mortal again by Nadakhan. His wish is granted, and Clouse, turning into a solid human once again, undergoes extreme agony as Nadakhan reveals the process of becoming physical is a painful one. With Clouse writhing in torment, Nadakhan goads the tormented sorcerer to wish for it all to go away, and not in the right state of mind, Clouse obliges. Freely interpreting the wish as he pleases, Nadakhan takes the opportunity to trap Clouse within the Teapot of Tyrahn and mocks him, teleporting away.
* The ninja, having arrived in disguise to ward off paparazzi, investigate Stiix, but fail to locate Clouse, as Misako informs them on their transmitter that Wu is searching the Library of Domu to figure out what Clouse might be looking for.
* Meanwhile, Nadakhan, having summoned a human disguise, wanders New Ninjago City, baffled by its technology. Approaching an Infovision stand, Nadakhan is told by the Cyrus Borg replica of its purpose on answering questions and demands the location of his Sky Pirates. The Info Vision informs Nadakhan of the Sky Pirates' past as the most infamous crew of all time, having sailed on the Misfortune's Keep until they were defeated by Captain Soto and his pirates. With Nadakhan trapped in the Teapot of Tyrahn, the Info Vision reveals that the Sky Pirates were banished across the Sixteen Realms and explains the existence of the Realm Crystal. Nadakhan asks of his lover Delara's location and learns of her death, and thus decides to seek the Realm Crystal to reunite with his crew. However, the Info Vision informs him that the artifact's location is classified, prompting Nadakhan to ask the location of those who know its placement, the ninja.
* Nadakhan takes the guise of the ninja and begins committing several crimes while imprestonating them.
* Nadakhan robs a bank while disguised as Lloyd.
* Nadakhan appears at a roller coaster in Mega Monster Amusement Park, before shapeshifting into Zane and sabotaging the roller coaster.
* Nadakhan, disguised as Cole, wrecks havoc near Doomsday Comics.
* Nadakhan steals a painting of Chen from the museum while disguised as Jay.
* Regrouping, the ninja lament over their lack of success, only to take notice of a news report on TV. To their shock, the footage is shown of them committing various crimes. As the team discuss the inexplicable events, the news reporters interview various associates of the ninja and the Police Commissioner calls for their arrest.
* The citizens of Stiix take notice and recognize the group. Already resentful for the destruction of their city, of which they partly blame the ninja for, the citizens chase the ninja, forcing them to flee lest they harm the civilians. Avoiding police officers along the way, Jay manages to make amends with Nya as he flies her over the city using Airjitzu.
* Misako, flying towards their location with the Destiny's Bounty, is quickly ensnared by several police officers' grappling hooks as the Commissioner and his officers search the area. With their home and their main mode of transport commandeered, the ninja are forced to split up and flee. The Commissioner confidently claims that they'll catch the six.
* Sensei Wu, unaware that he is being recorded by security cameras, discovers a passage on the Teapot of Tyrahn, only to be confronted by Nadakhan, who then traps him in the teapot as well.

#### 26th

* Cliff Gordon dies.
* Jay visits an empty pub with only one person, who is busy watching the TV. Jay tries to obtain some ninja chips from a vending machine using his Lightning but fails and leaves.
* On the TV, the Police Commissioner is answering several interviewers' questions about the ninja. He then asks Ronin to help catch them, to which he agrees.
* Misako is interrogated by the police forces. After they leave, Nadakhan appears to her and tricks her into telling the location of the Realm Crystal. He then traps Misako in the teapot and escapes. When the detectives and Police Commissioner reenter the room, they are shocked by her absence. However, Kai updates his status with his location, encouraging them to find him, but they are tricked into following a rat with a location device.
* While the chase is happening, Nya, in disguise, walks up to a small crowd to listen to a news report about Kai's status with them. After solving his riddle, she crosses the street to meet up with him and the others.
* The ninja gather at the burnt down monastery. After deciding to find out more about Nadakhan, they disperse in pairs.
* Lloyd and Zane head off to the Library of Domu where they find a book about the Teapot of Tyrahn, however, Ronin hacks into Zane's system and chases Lloyd, eventually catching him.
* Kai and Nya pick up motorbikes and ride away from Ninjago City, through the Corridor of Elders. After pursuing and tricking them, Ronin soon catches them as well.
* Nadakhan makes it to Hiroshi's Labyrinth and succeeds in stealing the Realm Crystal after defeating the Nindroid Sentries.
* In Mega Monster Amusement Park, Jay and Cole try to find information about Nadakhan, but Ronin finds them and overpowers the Ninja of Lightning and Earth.

#### 27th

* The ninja are arrested and Ronin is paid his large budget of money. Nadakhan laughs at their downfall before setting out to retrieve his crew.
* The ninja are in Kryptarium Prison, escorted by Warden Noble and locked in shackles made of Vengestone to prevent them from using their elements and Cole's ghost abilities. They immediately attract the attention of the enemies they imprisoned including the Mechanic, a man with a cybernetic arm and former employee of Master Chen, who wants spare parts from Zane. Dareth later visits them and informs them that the Realm Crystal has been stolen and that he baked a cake for them with tools inside, only to realize that Cole, due to his habit, has eaten it. With no other way of helping them, Dareth leaves them.
* They soon have lunch and Captain Soto overhears them talking about a djinn, specifically Nadakhan. He tells them how they can only defeat them using the venom of the Tiger Widow on Tiger Widow Island, however, the Mechanic and some other inmates confront the ninja. Cole calls him a fourth tier bad guy, which starts a food fight. During the fight, the Mechanic and two other prisoners capture Zane to take him apart. As the others fight, they realize both Zane and the Mechanic are missing. Before the Mechanic could take out anything, P.I.X.A.L. fires bolts of electricity, causing the Mechanic to go flying. Zane joins the others only to be sent to the "hole" with his friends for starting the food fight. Soto quickly tells Lloyd to help break him out if he wants to know where the map is before noticing the fork that he has been using for a peg leg is missing.
* After rounding up his crew, Nadakhan and the Sky Pirates have a party until they decide to visit Djinjago, however, the place is collapsing since the Cursed Realm, its sister counterpart has been destroyed. Nadakhan's father gives him the Sword of Souls, telling him that it can trap one's soul. He also asks Nadakhan to avenge Djinjago. Nadakhan then leaves his homeworld with his pirate crew.
* Djinnjago is destroyed, wiping out the entire race of Djinn, except for Nadakhan and Arrakore.
* Meanwhile, the ninja are sitting together in the "hole" in Kryptarium, put there by Warden Noble for starting a tussle during lunchtime. Lloyd uses Soto's fork that he took during the food fight to untie himself and frees his friends with his Golden Power. As their elemental powers are back, they manage to escape, taking Captain Soto with them, who is now using a trumpet for a peg leg, alerting the guards. After they got out of the prison through the sewers, Soto tells them that the map with the location of the Tiger Widow Island is on a lantern, but the lantern is situated on board of Nadakhan's ship, Misfortune's Keep. Soto also states that Nya is a spitting image of someone he knows but does not tell who.
* In the meantime, the pirates keep repairing the ship. After Clancee brings a newspaper and coconuts to Nadakhan, the latter sees a picture of Nya on the front page of the newspaper and compares it with one he has of Delara. Flintlocke tells Nadakhan that the restorations are going just as planned and Misfortune's Keep will fly soon.

#### 28th

* Arrakore returns to Djinjago from a mission in another realm, only to find his home destroyed. He obtains a grain of sand, one of the last things remaining from the realm.
* The Sky Pirates reconstruct Misfortune's Keep into a flying airship.
* Nadakhan locates the other Elemental Masters and traps them inside the Djinn Blade to eleminate any other opposition.
* The ninja split up and search for the Sky Pirates through looking for their whereabouts, but do not find any traces of them. Jay and Nya infiltrate the police, while Kai and Zane find the Destiny's Bounty in a vehicle impound, but are chased off by the owner and his dog.
* Elsewhere, Lloyd and Cole check Gypsy's Beach, the last known location of the Sky Pirates, but are unable find them nor any trace of them.
* Meanwhile, the Sky Pirates are traveling in the skies on Misfortune's Keep, which has been converted into an aerial VTOL. Nadakhan and Flintlocke begin making plans to trap the ninja's souls in the Sword of Souls so that the Sky Pirates are powerful enough to conquer Ninjago, and Nadakhan teleports away. Flintlocke then accidentally steers the ship into a mountaintop.
* Elsewhere, Jay and Nya finish their infiltration and have lunch, where they speak to each other, and Nya reveals that she knows about Jay's feelings which she tried to ignore but eventually couldn't. Nadakhan spies on the two from a distance and confronts Jay after he walks away from Nya to clean off his shirt. Nadakhan grants Jay a wish, where Jay wishes to not have been born in a junkyard, and that he could be wealthy so that he can give Nya anything that she wants. The Postman rides up to Jay in a bicycle and informs Jay that his father passed away and that he inherited his wealth. Jay quickly rushes to the Junkyard in a fit of panic, where he believes his adoptive father, Ed has died, but Ed turns out to be alive and reveals to Jay that he was an adopted child, and Edna hands Jay the key and address to his father's home.
* Jay travels to his father's home, where he finds out that his father was Cliff Gordon, who played his favorite TV character, Fritz Donnegan. He reads a book in Cliff's home about how to attract girls, and is greeted by Nadakhan, who attempts to manipulate Jay into being trapped in the Sword of Souls, but fails, and Jay quickly wishes that he wasn't alone with Nadakhan. Suddenly, Nya appears at the door and tells Jay that she found him by asking his parents. The two then go back to meet up with the ninja.
* Meanwhile, Nadakhan returns to his crew, who's ship struck the top of a mountaintop, but safely managed to land on it. Flintlocke greets Nadakhan and offers the idea of attacking Ninjago City to distract the ninja so that they can be trapped. Nadakhan agrees, and they begin setting their plan into motion. At a fighting club, the ninja discuss finding Nadakhan, where they are interrupted by a news report that shows that the Sky Pirates have attacked Ninjago City. The ninja quickly rush out to save the city, and temporarily work alongside the reluctant police chief, and battle the Sky Pirates.
* Kai is suddenly ambushed by Nadakhan and is teleported to a beach, where he manipulates Kai into wishing to go back, eventually trapping him inside of the Sword of Souls.
* In Ninjago City, the ninja are fighting the Sky Pirates, and Cole jumps onto Misfortune's Keep and grabs the lantern that contains the map to Tiger Widow Island, but is ambushed by Flintlocke, who fires his gun at Cole in an attempt to kill him, but the bullet travels right through Cole, since he is a ghost, and ricochets into the Realm Crystal, accidentally shattering it to pieces. Cole then runs from Flintlocke with the lantern, along with Jay.
* Nadakhan returns to Flintlocke and his crew and reveals that he has acquired Kai's soul, and the Pirates fly away from the city on their ship. The ninja meet up and examine the map, but realize that Kai is not with them, where they suddenly hear a loud crashing noise.
* Meanwhile, the owner of the impound hears his dog barking and walks out from his shack only to see an enormous crater, where a large piece of Ninjago formerly was, revealing that Nadakhan successfully rose most of Ninjago up into the sky, turning Ninjago into a chain of floating islands.
* The ninja regroup at Cliff Gordon's mansion, recuperating from the loss of Kai. As Nya, Zane, and Lloyd examine the map to Tiger Widow Island, Cole, suspicious, pulls Jay off to the side and learns he had made two wishes with Nadakhan. Despite his reluctance, Cole agrees to keep a secret, so long as it doesn't harm any of the others, and through the news, the ninja discover that more chunks of Ninjago are disappearing.
* On the Misfortune's Keep, Flintlocke demands why Nadakhan has refused to tell them his plan and reprimands him for not trusting the crew. In response, Nadakhan reveals, floating in the skies, a massive cluster of chunks of Ninjago forming a floating landmass. As Clancee excitedly observes that they've gained possession of the Destiny's Bounty in the process, Nadakhan explains that by using the power of the Djinn Blade, he plans to remake Djinjago and promises it to his crew, prompting them to cheer, cementing their loyalty.
* Arriving at the docks, Jay acquires Cliff Gordon's yacht and uses it to sail to Tiger Widow Island. Meanwhile, the Falcon, spying on the Sky Pirates, gets captured by Monkey Wretch, and on his captain's orders, proceeds to dismantle the Falcon, killing it. Meanwhile, the ninja run into a storm on their voyage, forcing them to use Jay as a lightning rod; Zane, realizing he's attracting the lightning, goes below deck.
* Below deck, he's confronted by Nadakhan, only to calmly welcome the Djinn's presence, having revealed that he figured out that Jay had already made some of his wishes due to several hints and reveals that he plans to use his wishes to destroy Nadakhan, despite P.I.X.A.L.'s warnings. The two engage in a game of chess where Zane proceeds to wish that Nadakhan would not try to twist his words, and that any damage done onto him would be answered tenfold towards the Djinn.
* Impressed, Nadakhan interrupts Zane before he can use his final wish, deletes P.I.X.A.L., and forces Zane to wish it all away, trapping him in the Djinn Blade. Nadakhan teleports away and the yacht crashes onto the shores of Tiger Widow Island.

#### 29th

* The ninja recover, and Cole, exasperated by Jay's denial, reveals that the latter had indeed made his wishes, prompting Nya to turn on him, declaring Jay will personally deal with the Tiger Widow himself.
* Meanwhile, Nadakhan uses Zane's powers to expand Djinjago and gloats over his victory. Remarking that he'll need backup, Nadakhan chooses Dogshank, Flintlocke, Clancee, and Monkey Wretch to accompany him.
* On the island, Jay sneaks into the Tiger Widow's cave and is confronted by the titular spider. Nadakhan fights Cole, while Dogshank fights Nya, and Lloyd participates in an aerial battle against Flintlocke, Clancee, and Monkey Wretch, the three of them piloting the Sky Shark against him.
* The Tiger Widow destroys Cliff Gordon's Handbook to Wooing Women, but Jay succeeds in filling a canteen with its venom before escaping. Meanwhile, Dogshank frees Nya from one of the Tiger Widow's webs, proclaiming a sense of honor in combat, and both factions chase after the venom.
* Running across the rope bridge, the ninja are left hanging when the Tiger Widow's weight causes one of the sides to collapse. Even as it attempts to attack them, Nadakhan teleports in and captures Jay, emptying his canteen, only for the Tiger Widow to leap towards him; in response, he teleports away, leaving the spider to plummet to the bottom of the chasm below.
* Nadakhan, boarding the Sky Shark with Jay in tow, proclaims he'll return to capture the ninja and leaves. Even as the ninja lament the loss of their friend and the venom, Nya reveals she switched the canteens and has the Tiger Widow's venom, before proclaiming that they'll save Jay.

#### 30th

* Skales Jr. is killed in a jet ski accident, presumably as an indirect result of Nadakhan's actions.
* A helicopter of NGTV is reporting the missing remains of Ninjago that are forming part of the new "Djinjago," but they are attacked by a sky pirate ship and the helicopter falls down, presumably killing Gayle and Vinny.
* On Misfortune's Keep, Jay, who is helpless due to being chained to a Vengestone ball, is mopping the floor while Nadakhan throws water to the floor to bother him. Jay still refuses to wish his third wish, believing that his friends will come to rescue him, but Nadakhan wants to fill his Djinn Blade to finish recreating Djinjago and throws his sword to Jay only to hear the voices of his friends trapped in there. He even tries to make Nya fall from him, noting Jay's hidden fear and attempts to hide it, but Jay is adamant. Angry, Nadakhan orders him to sweep the bottom of the ship while in midair. However, this fails too, much to Jay's bemusement.
* Meanwhile, in Tiger Widow Island, Lloyd returns on his dragon looking for the mainland but fails. Cole laughs thinking what Jay would have said, leading Nya to apologize for being such a bad friend. Lloyd comforts them both by noting Jay's inner strength as well as their own determination to succeed. Eventually, they get the idea to built something to get out of the island.
* Meanwhile, on the pirate ship, Clancee reveals many things about the crew to Jay, while Jay is thinking of writing a message to his friends. He fakes in having a back-ache, pretending to wish in the attempt, making Clancee go and find Nadakhan. This gives him enough time to reach the quill to write a message and puts the message in a bottle. Trying to escape, he jumps off to another ship, fights with Clancee, and jumps up to a little floating island. He's followed by Doubloon, but Jay manages to evade him until he lands on a sky mine. Being threatened, he drops the bottle in "defeat," succeeding in his original plan in the process.
* That night, Flintlocke escorts him to the main cabin to dine with Nadakhan on the Djinn's request. Right off the bat, Jay says he would never convince him to wish his third wish, but Nadakhan assures him he would not violate his hospitality in such a way. They start to talk about Nya, which leads to the Djinn captain to monologue about his wish-granting powers, specifically how he cannot grant his own. While Jay tries to use his power given the lack of Vengestone, he asks why he is doing all of it for Nya's heart. Nadakhan answers by describing ninja's actions concerning the Cursed Realm's destruction causing that of Djinjago, as well as his ultimate plan: he intends to marry Nya on Djinn land so as to attain the Djinn King's ability to grant his own infinite wishes. Realizing the applications of this, Jay accuses the Djinn of never truly loving Delara but Nadakhan retorts by declaring he will soon have everything anyway.

#### 31st

* Lloyd, Cole, and Nya are nearly finished with their raft until Lloyd realizes that "someone" has taken his ties and goes to look for more. Cole starts talking about the importance of women in terms of people calling a ship "she" leading him and Nya to talk about her friendship with Jay. Suddenly Cole notices a hammer disappear, and sees the sand moving. Lloyd returns and a strange creature destroys the boat; they get in a tree using Airjitzu, just as they discover two sand eels.
* At this time, Jay speaks to Flintlocke, trying to convince him to go against Nadakhan. Nadakhan finds Flintlocke talking to Jay and laughs at him. Later, they play a game in which Jay has to fight all the pirate crew; he manages to hold his own, even despite several injuries and Nadakhan's taunting. After the fight, Jay is found on his cell, silently nursing his injuries, including a bruised eye. Clancee offers him food and an eyepatch which Jay reluctantly takes, but suddenly remembers what he saw in his future thinking his fate with Nya was coming true on its own. Flintlocke comes to be apparently convinced what Jay told him and gives him the cell's key, but this turns out to be yet another attempt to break Jay.
* On the island, the team is building a second raft and a trap for the creatures. Despite still being attacked, they are able to get to the ocean. However, the raft starts falling apart, but they are rescued by Ronin with the Police Commissioner who apologizes for not trusting them when they said they didn't commit those crimes. Freed of charges, the remaining ninja set off with them with Jay's message, which the commissioner found, and go to rescue him.

### April

#### 1st

* In Ninjago City, Cole, Lloyd, and Nya discuss their next plan of action. Dareth attempts to help by bringing in the Hageman Brothers for ideas, but Ronin dismisses them. However, the ninja finally formulate a plan, using Jay's note, which was written on the back of some blueprints for a Raid Zeppelin, to build their own Raid Zeppelin and sneak into Djinjago to save him.
* Meanwhile, Patty Keys introduces several tourists to the Temple of Airjitzu, only to watch as the structure is torn out of the ground as a result of the Djinn Blade's power and is absorbed into the reconstructing Djinjago. Nadakhan, impressed with the temple, decides to preserve it. However, an infuriated Sensei Yang appears, confronting the Djinn, only to be driven off by a water cannon controlled by Dogshank, fleeing his temple with his students. Flintlocke arrives with two recruits named Colin and Landon that Nadakhan renames Bucko and Sqiffy before dismissing the three of them, reflecting on his plans and success.
* Disguised as pirates, Cole, Nya, and Lloyd sneak into Djinjago aboard their Raid Zeppelin, and Cole, sneaking past Monkey Wretch, infiltrates Nadakhan's room. Before he can poison Nadakhan's drinks with the venom, however, he notices an exhausted and wounded Jay. Forgetting about the venom, he tends to his friend, freeing him from his restraints, only to be forced to flee when Nadakhan enters, the latter realizing the two have escaped.
* Cole laments on leaving the Tiger Widow venom behind and they jump onto one of the Raid Zeppelins, only to realize it's under the control of real Sky Pirates. Taken prisoner alongside Lloyd and Cole, Nya is forced to have lunch with Nadakhan while the other three are thrown into their cells. Jay explains Nadakhan's plan to gain infinite wishes; meanwhile, Nya refuses Nadakhan's hand in marriage.
* To force her to agree, Nadakhan makes Nya watch as he proceeds to make her friends walk the plank, telling her than in return for letting them live, she becomes his bride. Flintlocke, suspicious, questions why they need Nya, but his questions are avoided, and Cole is forced to go first.
* With no other option, lest he falls into the Endless Sea and dies, Cole wishes for their Vengestone bonds to make them stronger, allowing them to fight back, and Lloyd realizes that if he's within earshot, Nadakhan is obliged to fulfill a wish. However, the ninja's powers begin to go out of control and they destroy their bonds, even as Nya accidentally wishes that someone had told her they were going to use a wish, prompting Nadakhan to fulfill it; Jay, in the meantime, is horrified and frustrated that his friends are now resorting to their wishes.
* Flintlocke prepares to shoot Lloyd, who wishes that the former had a lousy aim. As a result, Flintlocke misses at point-blank and ends up accidentally shooting his foot and a Raid Zeppelin in the process. Nadakhan, frustrated, uses the Djinn Blade to summon Zane's Ice and freezes the deck, causing the ninja to slip around, and Cole wishes for Nadakhan to lose the Djinn Blade.
* However, Flintlocke gives his captain back the blade after it's thrown from his grip, negating Cole's wish, and Lloyd wishes to become wise like Sensei Wu, and with his newfound wisdom, is able to navigate the icy deck and fight off the Sky Pirates. Cole, inspired, uses his last wish, wishing they were all out of here, and Nadakhan, horrified, watches as the Misfortune's Keep tilts over. As everyone hangs on, the Tiger Widow venom rolls past Jay, who manages to catch it. Nya wishes that Cole hadn't made his final wish, accidentally wasting hers in the process.
* Lloyd, to his horror, realizes that in return for his wisdom, he's become as old as Master Wu himself, and everyone loses their grip and falls to the clouds below. Using her final wish, Nya wishes the clouds would become solid, and everyone lands safely, bouncing around. Eventually, the ninja are cornered by Nadakhan and his pirates, with only two wishes left; Jay's and Lloyd's final wishes.
* Using his wisdom, Lloyd tells Jay that his final wish needs to be said from the heart, and wishes for a cutlass, using it to pierce one of the clouds and sending Jay and Nya falling, out of Nadakhan's grip. Lloyd defiantly gloats that Nadakhan can't make any of them wish for it all to go away, prompting the Djinn to force a hesitant Clancee to use one of his wishes.
* Unsure about it, Clancee finally gives in and wishes for Cole and Lloyd to be trapped within the Djinn Blade. Meanwhile, a falling Jay and Nya combine their elemental powers together to create an Elemental Dragon of Water and Lightning and fly away. Nadakhan sends Flintlocke to capture Nya, and flying after the two on a Sky Shark, Flintlocke realizes Jay was right and opts to simply kill the two of them. However, the Police ambush him with several cannons, driving him off and rescuing Jay and Nya.
* Even as they fly down to be joined by their allies, a weary Jay remarks in horror over the loss of his friends, and Nya comforts him, saying they'll figure out their next plan of action.

#### 2nd

* After the loss of Cole and Lloyd, the police are making every effort to prevent Nadakhan from marrying Nya. Despite their efforts, the Sky Pirates continue to locate her and Jay. The Police Commissioner tells Jay to protect Nya, which he bravely agrees. Showing and escorting them through a trap door, the Commissioner stalls Nadakhan long enough for the two ninja to escape, but at the cost of being captured too, after eating the map to prevent them from finding the two ninja.
* Later, Jay and Nya approach the island where Dr. Julien was held to take refuge, discovering the prison clean because of Tai-D still being functional. They check their supplies, including the Tiger Widow venom and Traveler's Tea (their very last resort), and repeat the plan, but Jay has a little doubt about how it is meant to go. Nya reassures him that he will find a way, unaware both are being spied on.
* Meanwhile, on Misfortune's Keep, Nadakhan threatens the Police Commissioner to launch them from onboard demanding them the ninja's whereabouts. The Commissioner told him that he doesn't know where they are since he was never told, but one of the cops lets slip that the ninja have the venom. To prevent himself from saying anything else, he jumps into the sea, followed by the other cops.
* Nadakhan plans what to do with the venom, but Flintlocke faces Nadakhan because of mistrust; despite having successfully accomplished their mission in building a new Djinjago, the djinn captain insisted to extend it with the marriage ceremony, yet another secret he kept from his crew. Fed up with mistrust, suspicious of his captain's true intentions, and realizing what Jay said was true, Flintlocke calls Nadakhan out on planning to make a mutiny on his own crew, heeding Jay's advice. His claim only lands him demoted to Clancee's position while the Serpentine gets his as first-mate.
* In the prison, Nya and Jay are thinking of what to use the last wish, yet they keep running into the same restrictions on wish-making. Jay starts talking of how he got all of them in this mess because of his feelings for Nya, but she interrupts him, having seen the spy from earlier. Following him to the tower's basement, the Robo-Butler finds a secret door to reveal the stranger. To their absolute shock, it's Zane, but a more rustic primitive version of him. Calling him Echo Zane, as he must have been a replacement Zane when Dr. Julien was in the tower, Jay and Nya joyfully reconsider their plan alongside their newest ally.
* In Misfortune's Keep, the Sky Pirates are looking for Nya, but keep coming up empty. Nadakhan approaches Clancee to have him make his second wish, to find the ninja. He then sees them through a window, but Echo Zane, on Jay's command, breaks the mirror before he could see where they are. He was too late, though; the Djinn noticed red kelp by the tower's windows he was all-too-familiar with and deduces their location in the western seaside of Ninjago.
* Meanwhile, Jay considers using the tea because of the possibility that they were found, but Nya points out they cannot keep running all the time. She even brings up his revealed future to prove that they will win against Nadakhan, as they are still together and alive, which gives Jay some hope. He then declares that if they are to make a stand, it would be at the tower itself, and so they and Echo Zane, whom they teach how to fight, set up defenses all around the keep. As they make their last preparations, Jay gives Nya the tea, explaining it is she that Nadakhan wants. She tells him she already figured that, but she also tells him how she felt about having been judged by everyone else and not being given the choice to decide for herself, hence her recent frustrations. This prompts Jay to ask what she really wanted, and she replies with choosing her own destiny and laments about wanting the djinn's chase to be over too. Suddenly, Jay has the best idea for his third wish: if he wished Nadakhan was a mortal human instead of a djinn, he would never get his infinite wishes or use his powers anymore. This would also mean that if Jay can wish for that here, he would be stuck in the lighthouse just like Dr. Julien once was. Their excitement is cut short when Echo Zane arrives, saying the pirates had arrived.
* The tower's defenses hold out for a time until its walls are breached, and Jay and Nya end up fighting together both on the offensive. Their efforts are mixed: although some of the tea is spilled Nya gets rid of Dogshank through the portal made, ending up on Tiger Widow Island and scares the Tiger Widow away; and despite holding off the pirates, Monkey Wretch takes the teapot from them. Eventually, Echo Zane arrives at their rescue and disposes of the rest of the pirates, only to fall apart again once Nadakhan arrives. Torn between his attempts to defeat Nadakhan and saving Nya, Jay chooses the latter by hurling her and himself through a nearby hole in the wall and into the water near the basement windows, much to the Djinn's rage.
* Breaking through a window, they reach the missing teapot at the same time the remaining pirates approach the doorway. Holding the door shut, they use the tea as their last resort of escape, only to discover the portal is only big enough for one person. Jay hands Nya the poisoned dart, saying he always kept his word, including protecting her. His oath makes Nya realize what Lloyd had meant before about wishing "from the heart," and reveals this to Jay as well as her feelings on the matter: she learned she already made her own choice about her destiny, to be with Jay upon first meeting him. Sealing their rushed moment, she tells him that although she may be the Djinn's target, he is her last hope to make her secret wish come true. With that, she tosses Jay through the portal, leaving her to fight the incoming pirates herself. Despite her valiant efforts, she is eventually captured.

#### 3rd

* As Jay falls from the sky into Ed & Edna's Scrap N Junk, he is found by Ed and Edna, who debate on whether or not to help him. Edna asks Jay what happened to him, and leads him into their trailer.
* Meanwhile, Doubloon and Clancee are preparing Nya for the wedding, with her being resentful towards Nadakhan and claiming she will not marry him. Just then, Dogshank returns from Tiger Widow Island and sends Sqiffy and Bucko to find Jay. She then enters and forces Nya into her dress, and she finds the Tiger Widow venom and orders Clancee to dispose of it.
* At the junkyard, Jay tells his story to his parents, remarking that it is up to him alone to save Ninjago. Ed scolds Jay, telling him that he does not know a boy from a junkyard who cannot scrape up a few friends when necessary. Jay realizes this and flies away from the junkyard on his dragon.
* Jay recruits Dareth who has been struggling to find new talent since the ninja's disappearance and eagerly accepts.
* Jay finds Captain Soto at the museum and recuits him as well, giving him a new peg leg.
* Skylor throws a man out of Chen's Noodle House when she is approched by Jay, who recuits her as well.

#### 4th

* The Police Commisioner arrests Ronin, who has returned to being a criminal, before the two are recruited by Jay.
* Jay returns to the lighthouse and finds Echo Zane, the final person needed for his team.
* They gather in the police department and Jay explains the situation and its solution, calling it "Operation Land Ho!" The plan consists of the group getting a ride on a piece of land being used for Djinjago, then Jay will use his final wish to turn Nadakhan into a mortal. However, they are overheard by two of the Djinn's spies, who hurriedly escape. Sqiffy is caught by the Commissioner, but Bucko gets away. The group gets on to Djinjago and Jay sneaks outside of Nya's room. Jay tries to get in but Nya claims the window bars will not budge. Nadakhan comes in and Jay attempts to make his wish but fails. Jay's team is attacked by Nadakhan's soldiers as the wedding begins.
* They hide in a wooden shack after Jay obtains the Djinn Blade. Captain Soto says that Jay can rescue the other ninja trapped inside by being struck by the blade, but is not guaranteed that he will be able to get out. After Echo Zane traps Jay, the latter finds the other ninja, as well as Wu and Misako, cast under a spell rendering them unconscious. Meanwhile, the rest of the team is ambushed by Nadakhan's soldiers. Ronin gives each of them a simple tool to defend themselves, which they all manage to do.
* Jay has woken up his friends, and they escape from the sword, making it out just in time, though Jay barely makes it out after a brief struggle with Clouse. Their exit causes an explosion that tears the shack apart, effectively getting rid of nearby guards. As the two groups reunite, Wu asks if everyone is safe; Jay responds by saying that one ninja remains to be rescued and asks who wants to crash a wedding, which is met with multiple cheers.
* As Nya prepares for the wedding, the ninja thank Jay's team for their heroics. The ninja plan to raid the Temple of Airjitzu since they don't have the Tiger Widow's venom. Lloyd points out that Nadakhan's power will diminish once he's defeated, which Wu realizes will cause Djinjago's fall and Ninjago's destruction. The ninja set off to confront Nadakhan, while Wu and the rest of Jay’s team return to the city to prepare for the worst.
* Arriving at the temple, the ninja are ambushed by several Sky Pirates, as the wedding ceremony begins. Before Clancee can complete the vows, the ninja burst in and object just in time. Nadakhan forces Clancee to finish the ceremony; thus making him all-powerful. Once the ceremony is complete; he renders Nya unconscious, straps a piece of metal to Jay's mouth to keep him quiet, and clones himself so five of him for each ninja and gets rid of their swords. As the mystical doppelgängers attack, Nadakhan condemns Clancee, Doubloon, and Monkey Wretch to other realms, while Flintlocke and Dogshank make their escape.
* The ninja escape the temple and run into Flintlocke and Dogshank, who seek to stop their captain and avenge their comrades. After hijacking Misfortune's Keep, they use several sky mines to destroy the clones, before planning their next course of action. Jay removes the metal from his mouth and retrieves the Tiger Widow's venom. He proposes that the ninja distract Nadakhan long enough for Flintlocke to shoot him with the venom. Flintlocke is unsure of whether he can shoot straight still, but Jay assures him that his concerns were only interpretations of Nadakhan's part. This allows Flintlocke to undo Lloyd's wish and regains his ability to shoot properly.
* Nadakhan wishes for Delara to be resurrected, using Nya's slumbering form as an avatar. The two lovers reunite until Nadakhan notices his ship has been commandeered by Jay. The ninja fend off the Sky Pirates before crashing Misfortune's Keep into the temple, destroying both in the process. The ninja then fight Nadakhan and Delara, while Flintlocke takes aim atop a Raid Zeppelin. One by one, Nadakhan turns the ninja into golden statues, until Jay is the only one left. As Nadakhan and Delara gloat over their victory, Flintlocke shoots Nadakhan, poisoning him. As a result, he loses control over Djinjago; it collapses onto the city below, causing untold destruction. Suddenly, Jay realizes some of the venom hit Nya as well, poisoning her. Horrified, Jay cradles Nya as she succumbs to the poison, and dies which leaves everyone devastated, especially Jay.
* As Nadakhan prepares to strike Jay with the Djinn Blade, Jay wishes that Nya had taken his hand and that the Teapot of Tyrahn was never found. Nadakhan, being hit with the venom and with Jay’s wish being pure, has no choice but to grant it, and the recent events are seemingly erased.
