Jay, Nya, and Aria stand in front of a conveyor belt filled with spinning blades that lead to the Temple of Madness.
"Every single path leads straight into a spinning blade!" Nya shouts frustrated
Jay points "Look at there! See it? There was a thing, for a second. There's another!"
"Did you hit your head Jay?" Aria asks staring at the conveyor belt
"No, it's like the game has a glitch!" Jay shouts
"Oh I see it" Nya says "Back on Dyer Island, we learned this was Dyer's very first adventure game. But it was never released because of problems"
Aria is literally staring at where they're looking "...I don't see it"
"How do you not see it?" Nya questions
"It doesn't matter, we'll help you Aria" Jay tells her
"Alright" Aria sighs "well video game obstacles are usually on a time loop"
"So if we get the timing down, we can make it to the other side" Nya says
Jay looks at the belt "But the glitches are unpredictable, and we can't get past them safely"
"Then I guess we'll have to improvise" Nya shrugs
"Just like dancing!" Jay shouts
"that I can do" Aria smiles
"follow us" Nya says to Aria
Jay and Nya hold hands and start to go through the conveyor belt, Aria follows them.
"One, two, three, step!" They step through a spinning blade "One, two, three, jump!" They leap over another blade "One, two, three, roll!" They roll through a third blade and encounter a glitch "Other track, now!" They leap to the other conveyor belt, but Jay loses balance and falls. Nya and Aria grab his hands in time "Aah!"
They successfully pass through the rest of the blades and reach the other side.
"Piece of cake!" Jay says happily
"Not for long" Aria taps his head "Video games usually increase in difficulty as you progress dum dum"
Nya sighs "So whatever is on the other side of this door is gonna be even worse"
The door to the Temple opens. The three enter only to find an empty sushi restaurant.
The sushi waitress bows "Welcome"
"...The Temple of Madness has a sushi restaurant?" Jay looks around confused
"Where are all the guests?" Nya questions
"We've been expecting you" The Sushi Waitress says
"You have?" Nya asks
"No way" Aria crosses her arms "I don't trust this"
The Sushi Waitress smiles "Of course. Jay Walker, party of three. Right this way.
"Oh, perfect! 'Cause I'm starving" Jay follows her
"Jay, it's a trap!" Nya and Aria shout
"No it isn't. Lots of games have areas like this, where you can recharge or power up, before you have to take on the boss" Jay says as he sits down
Nya looks at him suspiciously "Are you sure?
"If this was a trap, they'd have come up with something a little more dangerous than a sushi restaurant. Trust me" Jay says
"Jay were you ever dropped on your head as a kid?" Aria questions as she sits on top of the table
"hey hey..." Jay cleared his throat "..that was one time"
Aria and Nya laugh
The Sushi Waitress smiles "May I tell you today's specials?"
"Yes, you may. Boy, am I hungry!" Jay shouts excitedly
"To start, we have some albacore tuna with garlic, crispy onions, and marinated destruction!" Her eyes glow red and she pulls out a kitchen knife to attack them "Hiya!"
"Jay!" Nya and Aria dodge the waitress' attacks
"I swear I thought it was a rest point!" Jay shouts
"Una—gami! Welcomes! You!" The Sushi Waitress hurls her knife at them, which gets stuck in the door
"Ha! Not too smart, throwing away your only weapon" Jay taunts and the waitress pulls out two more knives "Hey! No fair! There's no logic to this level at all!"
"You just had to jinx it!" Aria shouts at him "Come on it's not a game, Jay! Take her out!
"Also on special today: Monster Sushi!" The Sushi Waitress pulls a lever, and a small conveyor belt carrying plates of sushi activates
Aria picks up a chair and slams the waitress into a wall, defeating her.
"Whew, close call" Nya smiles and turns to Jay, only to find him being attacked by Monster Sushi "Jay!" She starts pulling the Monster Sushi off of him.
"Ow! Aah!" Jay shakes all the Monster Sushi off.
"huh.. that's the first time I've seen a food rebellion" Aria says
"Is your comment's really necessary?" Jay questions
"of course it is" Aria replies happily
A door opens, and three sushi chefs leap out and start attacking with plates and knives. Jay and Nya defeat two of them with tables and their weapons, only for the third chef to show up with a mace. He throws the mace at them, which they dodge. The Monster Sushi surround them.
Aria runs and fights the third chef while Jay and Nya deal with the monster sushi. Once done, Jay and Nya noticed glitching all over the room.
"What's happening?" Nya questions worried
"I don't know, Aria-" Jay stops when he sees her holding off the sushi chef, her eyes were glowing purple, the glitches was worse around her. Jay gasps "Aria's making the game glitch, her dark powers are too great to be confined by the game, they're seeping in causing the game to glitch"
"Aria!" Nya shouts
Aria notices the glitches and headbutts the sushi chef, defeating him. Her eyes go back to normal and the game's glitches calm down.
"Sorry about that guys" Aria rubs her neck "I really don't understand that"
"It's alright" Jay reassures her "let's go end this"
Aria nods, a door opens, leading to the next level. The three Ninja go through it to find the Fire Wall.
Nya approaches it "Fire Wall. The last obstacle between us and Unagami"
They insert the three Key-Tanas into slots.
Jay looks happy "We made it! I couldn't have done it without you guys"
"We're a good team" Nya hugs Jay then looks at Aria "come here"
Aria stares at them, Jay and Nya both grab her and pull her into the hug, Aria smiles.
Nya looks up to see Sushimi, barely alive, hurl a mace at them "Look out!" she pushes the two to safety but is hit herself, losing her last life and getting cubed.
"Nya!" Aria angrily picks up the mace and throws it back at Sushimi, destroying him for good.
Jay falls to his knees at the cube "Nya ! No! I–I–I can't- Don't leave me! I love you"
"Save your weepy sentiments for players who can hear you" they hear Unagami's voice "Give up now or you simply become an Energy Cube like all your friends, nothing more than a few from my Manifestation Gate"
"Only if we don't beat the game first!" Jay shouts standing next to Aria, the three Key-Tanas open the Fire Wall, Aria and Jay share a look before they run through the doorway
They arrives at the Manifestation Gate where they see Unagami.
"Congratulations. You have beaten the game" he greets
"And I'm about to beat you, Milton Dyer, unless you turn my friends back. Right now!" Jay shouts
"Dyer?" Unagami questions
Jay crosses his arms "Yeah, I know who you are. We figured it out. So let's drop the whole Unagami thing and just call you—"
Unagami interrupts him "Dyer is my maker"
"Uh, maker?" Jay says confused
"I don't think he's Dyer" Aria whispers
"The one I seek. The Energy Cubes will allow me to open a portal between this realm, and the realm of the maker, so I may confront him" Unagami tells them "He attempted to shut me down. This is why I must find him. He must explain himself"
Jay stares at him "You're... the game!"
"What gave it away?" Aria questions sarcastically "his total control of everything or the fact that he collected every single dead player"
"I am Unagami" Unagami says
"...Unfinished Adventure Game 1.. Un-a-gami!" Jay shouts
Aria claps "good job, those Brainetics must be working"
"Aria please you're making it so hard to be serious" Jay facepalms then looks back up at Unagami "You're trying to go to Ninjago to confront Dyer for shutting you down?"
"I have the last Energy Cube that I require" Unagami says as Nya's cube flies towards the Gate.
The Gate activates, sending a wave throughout the game.
"The Manifestation Gate is complete. I intend to leave now. This conversation is concluded" Unagami turns and leaves.
"You're angry - you're angry at Dyer because he tried to shut you down? Because he abandoned you? You think that'll fix anything? You think that'll make you feel better? No!" Jay leaps onto a drone and fights Unagami.
Aria looks behind her to see more Drones and prepares to fight "we've fought skelitons, pirates, snakes, giant snakes, ghosts, dragons, a djin, time travelers, evil overlords, oni and now we got someone with daddy issues"
"You'd be able to understand him more then I can!" Jay shouts over his shoulder
"...are you implying that I have daddy issues!?" Aria shouts as she kicks a drone
"You said it not me!" Jay shouts
"...oh this boy is getting cocky now" Aria chuckles
"This is futile! You can do nothing to stop me" Unagami disarms Jay.
"Oh yeah? How about this?" Jay tackles Unagami, knocking him off his drone, then kicks him "Game over, Unagami!"
"I am the game. I am Prime Empire. I can choose any form I wish. Do you really think this will stop me?" Unagami shapeshifts into the Empire Dragon and attacks Jay, who is knocked aside.
"Jay!" Aria shouts running over to him
The Empire Dragon leaves through the Manifestation Gate, with many Red Visors following.
"No!" Jay shouts, some Red Visors attack them, and Jay fights back with his controller "Get back! I'm warning you!" A Red Visor knocks his controller off the platform "No!" Aria stands in front of Jay with her sword out
"....I got it!" Jay activates the amulet and raises it "I call upon the Blue Dragon—"
"Say black damn it!" Aria shouts at him
"Why?!" Jay shouts
"Just do it!" Aria shouts back as she fends off a red visor
" I call upon the Black Dragon! I call upon the Black Dragon! I call upon-" Red Visors pile on top of them, Jay hears a roar and he feels himself lifted in the air. He opens his eyes to see himself on a dragon "haha!" he looks around "Wait! Aria!"
The dragon roars
"wait a minute" Jay looks down at the dragon, it had real scales "...real black scales" Jay smiles when he sees around him glitching "haha we glitched the game, you're in your dragon form, Aria you're a generous!"
The red visors shoot at Jay, Aria jumps up and lands hard, taking out all the Red Visors. She then then flies through the Manifestation Gate.
Jay cheers "Finally I've been waiting for this! It's my turn to save the day together with Aria!"
