Chapter 30: Blackout

Garmadon: We underestimate the importance of balance. When it's there, we're at peace. When something is off, everything falls. Ninjago is no different. It put too much faith in technology, allowing the Overlord to return, and because of your friends, now the world is without power. When one relies on something too much, we become weak, vulnerable, imbalanced. In order to find your full potential and unlock your true power, you must find your own balance.

Lloyd: I'm already the golden ninja, how much more power do I need?

Garmadon: You've only scratched the surface! You have the potential to move mountains. Power of the first spinjitsu master!

Lloyd: The ninja destroyed the power substation, essentially destroying the overlord and his nindroids. Why can't we go back?

Garmadon: Essentially? Until the Overlord is fully erased from the system, we must not go back, but forward!

Garmadon: If you can't move mountains, I guess we'll have to move over mountains.

Lloyd: Oh yeah?

Garmadon: And this next one looks particularly steep.

Worker #1: Over here! I found him! (To Cyrus) Are you all right, Mr. Borg?

Cyrus: Yes, yes but how long have I been out?

Worker #1: Quite a while, sir. We've been without power for a few days.

Cyrus: The hard drive: It's missing! Have the ninja returned with the techno blades? Please, it's very important!

Worker #2: Uh, no. There's been no one else inside the building.

Cyrus: Wu . . . He was right here! Where did he go? And who would take the hard drive when the Overlord virus is still on it? Oh, so many questions, so few answers.

Overlord: Where am I?! The ninja destroyed all of the power. How have you saved me?

Stranger: Electrocobrai. Though extremely rare, they're extremely useful.

Overlord: Who are are you? What do you want from me?

Stranger: Nothing but a small favor after returning you to power. You do still want to become flesh, if I'm not mistaken?

Overlord: Yes, of course, but I need the Golden Ninja.

Stranger: You'll get your hands on him in time. Our power is limited, we must be wise with our next move. Ninjago is vast, the Golden Ninja could be anywhere. And still, the ninja have the only weapons that could erase you. (He activates techno Wu) The old man knows everything about the ninja. All of their secrets. All of their hideouts. He will find them in no time.

Overlord. Yes, yes!

(Back with the ninja they are at Ed and Edna's scrap yard looking for parts for a vehicle)

Cole: We've been digging for so long, I think I forgot what we're looking for!

Kai: A jiggly compact compress converter. Or was it a compress compact jiggly converter? Whatever it is, if it can get us back to New Ninjago City any sooner, it's worth finding. (Piles of junk crush them both)

Kai and Cole: (Groans)

(Ed, Crystal, and Jay are on another pile of junk looking for parts)

Crystal: That must've hurt.

Jay: We shut off the power thinking we could just waltz in but no. We didn't stop to think we were a bajillion miles away. Hey! A compact converted jiggly compressor!
