Lloyd visits Garmadon at Kryptarium prison, who tells him that "The Darkness", which is to destroy all the realms, is soon going to arrive in Ninjago soon. Meanwhile, Cole, Zane and P.I.X.A.L go to the Ninjago
harbour to receive an award, which they are surprised to discover is a rebuilt "Destiny's Bounty". Faith, who has been severely injured, arrives at the monastery to warn Wu and the ninja that the darkness has consumed the Realm of Oni and Dragons and is heading for Ninjago next. After Ninjago City is covered in a cloud of darkness, Lloyd reluctantly decides to free Garmadon from Kryptarium Prison so that he may help the ninja combat this new threat.
