(Ninjago City panics.)

Officer: It's not safe to be out. Please, return to your homes.

Gayle: (On TV with Misako watching) The mayor has placed a city-wide curfew until further notice. Tensions are high, as the question on everyone's mind is where are our ninja, and is the Green Ninja okay?

Wu: Lloyd. (He holds up his drawing.)

Misako: Not now, sweetie.

Wu: Lloyd. Lloyd!

Misako: What are you drawing? What is it? (The phone rings.)

Crystal: Misako.

Misako: Is my son okay?

Crystal: We found him. (Misako sighs.) But he's in really bad shape. We're headed your way but...but we don't know what to do. It's like...it's like his life force is fading.

Wu: Lloyd. Help. (He shows her the drawing again. Misako realizes it's the logo for Mystake's tea shop.)

Misako: I know where to take him.

(A man leaves his village and approaches the Sons of Garmadon.)

Man #1: We're good people. We have nothing to give you.

Harumi: Your village is surrounded. Kneel before your New Emperor.

Man #1: We will never kneel. Our people have already taken up arms. We will fight, if need be.

Garmadon: Taken up arms?

Harumi: These people know not of your power, my Emperor. Show them. Show all of Ninjago how to kneel. (Garmadon creates the Colossus.)

Man #1: (He kneels.) Please, forgive us, Emperor Garmadon.

(Lloyd is taken to the tea shop.)

Lloyd: (Sleep talking) Oh. I c—There's—He's too-He's too much. I can't—please.

Crystal: Everything's going to be ok Lloyd.

Jay: Hurry. He's burning up.

Mystake: You cannot hurry tea. Only have patience to get it right. It is ready.

Cole: Is it going to make him better?

Mystake: It will heal his wounds, but...

Nya: But what?

Kai: (Groans.) There's always a "but."

Styx: What is it?

Mystake: It comes with a price.

Zane: Whatever it is, we will pay it.

Mystake: I will take no coin for this. I speak of a price for you and your friend. Each of you must lay your hand upon him. The tea will focus your Elemental Powers to save him. But it may use up all the power you have left.

Jay: Are you telling me to save him, we could lose our power?

Mystake: Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Nya and Crystal: (They look at Lloyd) Do it.

Kai: Wait! You don't just jump into decisions like this. I mean—

Cole: You're just worried about yourself.

Kai: Maybe I am. But you saw how powerful Lord Garmadon was. Without our Elemental Powers, what chance do we have?
