P.I.X.A.L. runs towards Zane and attempts to unplug him from the Manifestation Gate. Meanwhile, Jay enters Ninjago through the gate on Dragon Aria.
Jay sees them "Zane! P.I.X.A.L.!"
Aria lands and Jay gets off, he and P.I.X.A.L. pull the cord off Zane. Zane lies on the ground, motionless. Aria turns back to her human form.
"Zane! Zane, please say something" P.I.X.A.L shouts
Zane wakes up, gasping.
"Oh! You had us scared, buddy" Jay helps Zane up
"What happened? Where are the others?" Zane asks
"They got turned into Energy Cubes" Aria tells them, a man and Wu gasp
"But it's okay because we're gonna get them all back" Jay quickly explains
"Yeah all we have to do is A: find Milton Dyer, B: find Unagami, C: get them to work out their issues, D: convince Unagami to turn all the Energy Cubes back into people, and E...um, I don't think there is an E. I think that's it" Jay explains
P.I.X.A.L points to the man "We found Dyer"
"And I will do whatever I can to help," Dyer says
"Are you certain Unagami can be reasoned with?" Wu questions
Jay nods "I think-"
"He doesn't seem evil, just confused," Aria interrupts "I need to talk to him."
Wu looks at her surprised.
Milton Dyer sighs "This is all my fault. Vast Industries forced me to shut the game down, and I did it! I didn't understand what I had created. I didn't know he was alive"
"Oh, he's alive, all right, and he's a little ticked off," Jay says
"If only I could talk to him! A-a-and explain!" Dyer shouts
"Okay, this is starting to sound like a plan. You guys get to the top of Borg Tower, I'll get Unagami there" Jay instructs "Ready Aria?"
Aria turns into a dragon and Jay climbs on top. Jay leaves and the rest do the same. Jay looks around the city for Unagami
Jay sees an explosion nearby "Found you! Aria over there!"
Citizens panic and run as the Empire Dragon lands and roars. The Empire Dragon blasts a laser beam. He searches for Milton Dyer, while Red Visors spawn beside him. The Mechanic's henchmen drive a noodle truck in front of the dragon and make a sudden stop. The Empire Dragon looks at them and roars. Jay and Aria swoop in and smash the Empire Dragon against a building. He blasts a laser beam at Jay but misses, hitting a nearby car.
"I-I guess that got your attention," Jay says, they start flying upwards and the Empire Dragon follows, blasting a building as he catches up.
"That's it. Keep following us" Jay says, he looks back and loses sight of the Empire Dragon "What?!"
The Empire Dragon rams into Aria and they crash. The Empire Dragon pins Aria against a building.
"No Aria!" Jay blasts the Empire Dragon with Lightning "Huh, powers are back! That felt good!"
The dragon roars at Jay and blasts a laser beam at him, missing. Jay and Aria fly upwards once again, and the Empire Dragon follows.
Citizens run away as Zane, P.I.X.A.L., Wu, and Dyer are running toward Borg Tower. Red Visitors shoot at the four of them. Zane freezes the Visors using Ice. P.I.X.A.L., Wu, and Zane continue forward, while Dyer looks at the frozen Red Visors.
Dyer catches up with the others. Richie and Ritchie corner two citizens. Okino kicks them both onto the ground. He bows to the two citizens. The two citizens smile and run off. Dyer, P.I.X.A.L., Zane, and Wu spot Jay and Aria leading the Empire Dragon.
"There's Aria and Jay!" P.I.X.A.L shouts
"They're almost at the tower. Hurry!" Zane shouts
Ritchie blocks the group's path with his Quad Bike. He laughs and throws a bomb at them, missing. Ritchie attempts to drive off, but Zane and P.I.X.A.L. kick a lamp post over, blocking Ritchie's path. Zane grabs his arm and pulls him out of the vehicle.
The group gets onto the Quad Bike and drives off. They make it inside of Borg Tower. They get off the Quad Bike and enter an elevator.
Aria and Jay lead the Empire Dragon to the top of Borg Tower. The Empire Dragon fires a laser beam at Jay, missing and hitting the tower. Jay flies up the tower but loses sight of the Empire Dragon. The dragon suddenly appears in front of him.
"Whoa!" Jay shouts "Aria look out!"
The Empire Dragon blasts a laser beam at Aria, causing her to crash at the top of Borg Tower and Jay falls.
"No, no, no!" Jay shouts worriedly "Aria!"
Aria transforms into her human form before standing up "I'm ok."
the Empire Dragon flies upwards and lands on the top of Borg Tower. He roars at the two.
"Unagami," Aria faces him "You need to listen to me.. to us."
Jay stands up and stands by Aria's side as they face Unagami.
"I- We.. were abandoned too." Aria tells him "And we didn't know why."
Jay nods "She's right, I never understood why my parents did, and I never had the chance to even ask, but I always hoped there was a good reason. What if there's a reason?"
Unagami turns into his ruler form.
"What reason?!" Unagami questions
"Whether it was to keep you safe, or if it was out of fear.." Aria tells him "There got to be a reason."
Jay looks over at Aria and takes her hand.
Wu, P.I.X.A.L., Milton Dyer, and Zane make it to the top of Borg Tower. Unagami sees Milton Dyer and walks towards him, but is blocked by Jay.
"Wait, listen!" Jay shouts "Anger doesn't solve anything. It won't help. It won't make you feel better."
"The more you try to get someone to notice you, the worse it'll get," Aria speaks "Talk to him."
"Unagami, don't do this." Dyer walks towards him "Please"
Unagami's form flickers to a child before flickering back to his ruler form.
Milton Dyer looks at him "You recognize me, don't you? You recognize my voice?"
"You are Milton Dyer, my maker" Unagami confirms
Milton Dyer nods "Yes. But you were not made for this. You were not made to instill fear and suffering"
Red Visors chase a group of citizens. A Whack Rat throws a bomb near a group of people
"Why was I made?" Unagami questions
"To instill joy and happiness," Dyer says
Unagami's form glitches. His form turns into that of a child "But you abandoned me"
Jay looks over at Aria, whose eyes are forming tears.
"Hey, you ok?" Jay asks as he wipes one of her eyes
"..he's just a child," Aria turns to look at Jay "who wants to be noticed."
The two look over as power is released throughout the city. The Red visors power down. The doors to The Mechanic's Warehouse open. Players trapped in Prime Empire have been released, alongside other NPCs.
Wu, Aria, Jay, Zane, and P.I.X.A.L. walk toward the rest of the Ninja.
"Jay!" Nya shouts happily
"Aria!" Lloyd shouts but is shoved to the side by Reika
"Wifey!" Reika runs over and crushes her in a hug.
Jay then runs to Nya and spins her around. Aria chuckled as she was released by Reika, Lloyd stared at Aria until she went and hugged him warmly.
"I love you," Aria tells him
"I love you too," Lloyd kisses her
"Ewwwwww" Reika complains
"Shut it!" Lloyd shouts at her
The two begin to bicker as the others try to break them apart. Jay and Aria walk over and stand beside each other.
Kai looks at the two "So what happened? Did we get the Key-Tana? Did we win?"
Jay sighs "It's a long story"
The Whack Rats and the Red Visors return to Prime Empire as the Manifestation Gate turns off.
"Where's Unagami?" Cole asks
"He's where he belongs" Jay replies as he turns to Aria "As we are."
Aria smiles and leans against Jay "Right back at you.. big brother."
"We have it pretty good don't we?" Jay puts his arm around her and hugs her tight. "I couldn't imagine a different family."
"Me neither," Aria agrees looking over at the ninja "Couldn't have gotten a better one either."
"You're right sis," Jay looks at her "..were you referring to yourself back there.. when you mentioned being abandoned out of fear."
"My mother is afraid of me," Aria states "I know she is."
"How?" Jay asks looking worried "I thought you two made up."
"Mother still has that look in her eyes when she looks at me.." Aria tells him "there's a reason for everything she does.. she needed me on her side."
"Well," Jay pulls her into a bigger hug "we'll always be on your side."
"I know.." Aria closes her eyes as a tear runs down her face "Even if she abandons me again.. you'll all be here."
Jay smiles "Always."
