## Plot

### Part 1

At Sugarcube Café, the Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan and Oriana were watching a music video by DTS, called the Fading Dreams. After which, the popular musical group will going to perform with PostCrush at Ninjago City's annual Blue Moon Music Festival, a summer festival which occurs on the 15th day of the eighth month, during the full moon. Tickets will be paid before the deadline, and there will be a contest to win tickets for the Blue Moon Music Festival, by calling the number on the screen, and be the lucky number 10. Jay then decided to call the number to secure tickets to the Blue Moon Music Festival. When he managed to connect to the phone line, the person on the other end informs him that the tickets have sold out. Angered, Jay informs them that we cannot go to the Music Festival, because the tickets were sold out. Oriana then received 16 tickets to watch the concert at the Music Festival, one extra ticket belongs to the Princess of the Moon. The Ninja and the Mane Six realised that there is also another Princess from the Moon. Zane explained that the Music Festival falls on the same day where Princess Kaguya returned to the Moon, where a Celestial Parade descends to retrieve her and received a feathered cloak to erase all of her memories on Earth. The Ninja realised that there is a coincidence in the legend.

Suddenly, their Hero Bracelets, the Crystal Geodes, her Rainbow of Light and Oriana's wristband started glowing, meaning there is another mission at the Treehouse of Harmony. While heading towards there, Gaia told them that for the second mission, they must find Princess Kaguya at the Realm of the Moon, becoming the second Crystal Guardian of Shintaro, despite having to leave for an unclean life. Zane and Oriana decided to turn down an invitation to the Music Festival, as they got mission to complete. As the duo enter the Crystal Vortex to the Realm of the Moon, the rest of the Ninja, the Mane Six and Megan went for the festival.

At the Dungeons of Shintaro, Princess Twivine Sparkle and the Skull Sorcerer saw an advertisement of the Blue Moon Music Festival, and she decided to target the leader of an idol group, by summoning a Thorntus, the Moonlight Demon, to extract his Eternity Crystal.

Zane and Oriana arrived at the Realm of the Moon, and they were headed towards the Lunar Palace, where they met Emperor Setebos and Empress Mizuki. Oriana founds our where is her cousin, as they show them that she was looking outside the palace. When the two found Kaguya, she was surprised that her cousin came for a visit, and they both gave them a hug. She asked Kaguya to return to Ninjago to help them stop the Skull Sorcerer from disrupting the balance of the natural environments, but because of the feathered cloak, she won't allow, and she decided to run away from the palace. Setebos and Mizuki arrived, but they realised that Kaguya ran away from the palace. The quartet decided to look for her.

### Part 2

At the Blue Moon Music Festival at City Park, the rest of the Ninja, the Mane Six and Megan were engrossed to see the DTS performance with PostCrush. They realised that the DTS and PostCrush came to meet them as their priority. Wrap Monster, the leader of DTS, came to meet the Ninja and the Mane Six, and they collaborated with K-Lo and Su-Z for the song, Fading Dreams. Jay already received an autograph to Wrap Monster and the others glad to know that there is one more on the waiting list, which is revealed to be Kaguya. They all know Kaguya from the legend of the Bamboo Cuter and the Nymph. As DTS and PostCrush were going to start a performance, the Moonlight Demon interrupts the performance and extracts Wrap Monster's Eternity Crystal, but not long after, the Hero Ninja, the Crystal Six and Sailor Sky came to stop her.

In the City of Dusk, Zane, Oriana, Setebos and Mizuki found Kaguya, and she realised that she don't want to leave like last time. She asked them that if she leaves the Realm of the Moon, she will be unclean and filled with sorrow. Oriana told her that they were cousins after they were reunited in the First Realm, and she told Kaguya to set changes while heading to the new realm. Oriana then removes the feathered cloak from Kaguya and she regained her memories while on Earth. Kaguya then reminds her who she was, and she hear that the heroes are in trouble. Zane, Oriana and Kaguya departs to Ninjago, as she told her parents to take care of each other while she is gone.

As the Ninja, the Crystal Six and Sailor Sky were unable to defeat the Moonlight Demon, Hero Zane, Oriana and Kaguya came to defeat them. Hero Zane and Oriana uses a combination attack of Blizzard Storm Surround and Sunlight Beam Blow against the Moonlight Demon, then Kaguya uses her Celestial Moonblade to perform an attack, Lunatic Crescent Slash to defeat the demon, allowing Sailor Sky to destroy her with Rainbow Crown Magic.

With Wrap Monster got recovered after a fight, he and the the idol group met Kaguya, who is finally on a waiting list. She tells the Ninja, the Mane Six, Megan and Oriana that she removed the feathered cloak to protect the natural environments from the Skull Sorcerer. They all welcomed Kaguya to join for a mission, if they need any assistance. They all then watch the live concert for DTS and PostCrush together, showing the full moon at the end.
