(Ninjago City panics as Lloyd has been defeated by his father.)

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

Gayle Gossip: (On TV) 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? (Misako and Amethyst watch the news worried as Wu draws something on paper.) 

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

Misako: Not now, sweetie.

Wu: Lloyd. Lloyd!

Misako: (She walks up to Wu.) What are you drawing? What is it? (The phone rings and she picks up.)

Nya: Misako.

Misako: Is my son okay?

Nya: 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.

Amethyst: And I'll meet you there. 

(A man leaves his village with a sword 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 , my Emperor. Show them. Show all of how to kneel. (Garmadon uses his power to create a huge stone colossus.)

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

(Lloyd is taken to the shop and is placed on a counter.)

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

Jay: Hurry. He's burning up.

Mystake: (Preparing a healing tea.) 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...

Coral: But what?

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

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.

Amethyst: Are you telling us to save him, they could lose their powers?

Mystake: Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Nya: (Lloyd groans.) 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?
