[3P POV]
Months after the events of the Final Battle Lloyd had become the Golden Ninja and stepped up to the next level in power, despite this Lloyd was still very inexperienced with his powers and during this time Lloyd thought he might take a ride on the Ultra Dragon alongside Theo.
"Easy there Ultra, your making us all dizzy" Lloyd says as the Ultra Dragon "Hey dont worry Lloyd, their not gonna let us down" Theo says jokingly "Haha very funny" Lloyd says blandly before smiling again.
"Woah sensing something? Something wrong?" Lloyd ask; the Ultra Dragon shoots fire out of one of its heads "Fire? Where?" Lloyd asks again "Go!" Lloyd says as Ultra flys down to the burning village "Venomari! I thought those guys had all been defeated by the Stone Warriors" Lloyd points out.
"Well it seems like they are back" Theo responds "We need to split up, you deal with the fire and thieves, me and Theo will take on the warriors!" Lloyd issues "Cmon Lloyd, lets show them what a couple Golden Ninja's can do!" Theo says to Lloyd; Lloyd grins.
"Formation Triple Dragon!" Lloyd and Theo both jump off of the Ultra Dragon and as they do they surround themself in the Golden Power and transform into Golden Gi's and each summon their respective Golden Dragons; the Ultra Dragon blasts ice out of one of their heads to thaw the flames burning the village.
Lloyd on his Golden Dragon drags two Venomari by its foot claws "You ground dwellers need a flying lesson!" Lloyd says before his Golden Dragon drops them and nearly hitting the floor before picking them up again and dropping them in the water.
"End of lesson, keep your heads down and dont mess with Ninjago!" Lloyd issues to the Venomari, and as they run off with the stolen goods the Ultra chases them down and blasts them with Earth and Electricity from two of their heads.
Lloyd and Theo on their dragons fly out with cheers from the villagers and circle around the Ultra before Lloyd evaporates his dragon and returns to his normal green attire and as he falls he sees why Theo didnt evaporate his.
"Hey Ultra, where are you going? Get back here" Lloyd says before he focuses and summons his Golden Dragon once more; as Theo and Lloyd follow the Ultra Dragon through the clouds they eventually catch up to it on some cliffs, or so it would seem.
"The Spirit Coves" Lloyd says before Lloyd and Theo follow it to where it was perched on the cliff as they once more evaporate their Golden Dragons "Miss home huh?" Lloyd asks "Go on then" Lloyd says before hugging one of the Ultra Dragons heads.
"Go home!" Lloyd says happily before the Ultra Dragon runs off with assumed gratitude and opens up to a portal to another realm "They have gone to a much better place, I assure you" Theo says, but in his heart he knew the fate of the Ultra Dragon, despite wanting to help them he had no time so in that moment Theo may have had a look even sadder than Lloyds.
"Cmon Theo, I think its high-time we returned to New Ninjago City" Lloyd says returning to his normal personality "Yes, I think so too" Theo smiles as they both sumon their Golden Dragon and fly towards rebuilt Ninjago City.
As they are approaching the city they notice many technological devices and bots surround the Ninja who are currently in new suits "Whats happening over there?" Lloyd asks "No idea" Theo responds "Ill deal with them–" Lloyd says but is cut off "Wait dont use your Golden Power, they will only absorb it" Theo states with a more serious expression.
"But Theo–" Lloyd is cut off again "Just trust me" Theo says "Okay but how do we stop those things?" Lloyd asks "Like this" and as Theo says that his both his hands and eyes glow a bright pink as all the technology in the area get restored to their normal functions.
Lloyd and Theo approach to the cheers of the Ninja before evaporating into their Golden Dragons "Robots vs Ninja? Dare I ask?" Lloyd jokingly says "You both are a sight for sore-eyes" Kai says happily.
"So, you couldnt help yourself; Golden Ninja we meet again" a Digital Presence says broadcasted from the screen "Overlord, I defeated you once, ill defeat you again" Lloyd issues "Oh I dont want to fight, I just want you and your one other friends powers!" the Overlord says as he cancels out the element of technology's effect on the machines.
Lloyd is about to fight but Wu cuts in "No Lloyd, your and Theo's powers will only make them stronger" Wu points out "Did you see me approaching those machines?" Theo sarcastically asks "But how do we fight?" Lloyd asks "We dont, we need to get you, Theo, and the technoblades out of the city" Kai states "I dont think he'll let us leave" Cole points out.
"I have an idea but I dont have much time to explain, listen close" Wu says "NINJA GO!!" All the Ninja save Theo chant as they summon their Spinjitzu Tornados and get into their respective vehicles "I hope this works" Kai says "A 4.2% chance of success, I would say our hope is slim" Zane responds "Thats why its called hope, Zane" Jay indirectly clarifies.
"Wait where did Theo go?" Cole asks "Beats me" Jay responds "Well if he left thats good, now we just have to get Lloyd and the rest of the Techno Blades to safety" Kai issues; As Wu is running atop the buildings and drops the Techno Blades onto Kai's jet Wu is surrounded.
As the machines start to close in on Wu a blinding white light is seen and all of the detectors are briefly stopped, when the light dispersed Wu was gone but only for the him and someone to later be found riding on an Elemental Heat Dragon far from the city
"We have Sensei, I repeat we have Sensei" Theo says through the comms to the surrounding vehicles occupied by Ninja and of course Lloyd's Golden Dragon; the Ninja start cheering "So where to?" Lloyd asks "Someplace far FAR from here" Cole responds.
Finally the Ninja finally find a place to lay low and set up near a dojo in the area "Ah this is the perfect place to lay low no robots, no cameras, no problems" Lloyd said clearly pleased to be away from technology
"Still if any aerial drones pass overhead you better wear this, it will scramble their signals so they cant find you" Nya says as she threw Lloyd a green suit "Sorry no suit for you Theo, Borg said he didnt have time" Kai says.
"Thats okay, ill be fine" Theo responds and as he does Theo's appearance suddenly shifts into his casual look "How did you do that?" Cole asks "Thats a secret" Theo playfully responds.
"Lloyd?" Misako says dropping her basket and running up to Lloyd and hugging him "Mom?" Lloyd responds "What are you all doing here?" Misako asks happily "The Overlords back, and New Ninjago City has fallen under his control" Lloyd says disappointed.
"It is alright Lloyd, at least we can lay low for now" Wu says "Thanks Sensei, and wheres dad?" Lloyd asks "Yeah, where is 'Lord' Garmadon" Kai adds sarcastically "He no longer goes by 'Lord' here he is 'Sensei' Garmadon, and he wont be back until this evenings lesson" Misako explains.
"Uhh, did you just say Sensei Garmadon?" Jay asks "I'm glad hes on our side now" Zane adds "Hey Wu, looks like you have a bit of competition" Jay adds jokingly, suprisingly Wu pays the statement no heed.
"Come in, but your weapons are not allowed; ever since Lloyd saved his father Garmadon has sworn an oath never to fight in hope to make up for his evil past, its an oath he takes very seriously" Misako explains.
"But we were supposed to protect these with our lives" Kai says "And never let them out of our sight" Jay adds "You guys go on in, I got this, after all I already know the lesson that will be taught" Theo says.
"Are you sure Theo, I can take the weapons if you wish" Zane says "Its fine, like I said I already know whats gonna be taught and might as well have all hands on deck" Theo says smiling, and Zane smiled too, as going to the dojo wasnt something he could do in the original timeline.
"Thank you Theo" Zane says with gratitude before running off with the rest of the Ninja "Thanks Theo your the best" they Ninja say as well as some other things Theo didnt really care about hearing but was glad Zane could go this time nonetheless.
'Now since I know the Nindroids will be looking for us, they will send them and PIXAL here if they see us, and if I can bring them here I can free PIXAL and let her get with Zane' Theo thinks, Theo then decides to create medium-sized orb of Golden Power and throw it into the air and enhance it to make it clear even from New Ninjago City.
Theo would then meditate with the techno blades and when he awoke it was evening "Dont bother, I can sense you" Theo says and as he turns around he sees PIXAL with the Techno Blades and already running.
Theo then uses the Speed and Reflex element to catch up with her instantly and manages get her to run onto the bridge near the Dojo before hitting her, but still holding back which causes a scream that alerts the Ninja, Wu, Misako, and Garmadon, which is exactly what Theo wanted.
The Ninja then walk out to to find PIXAL tied up "Its PIXAL, but how did she find us?" Cole asks "Why dont we ask her ourselves" Theo responds and then his hands and eyes glow a bright pink as he touches PIXALS forehead, as he foes this he rewrites her core programming and manages to take away the Digital Overlord Virus from her systems.
PIXAL Gasps "Where am I, why am I tied up?" PIXAL asks "You were under the control of the Overlord, how did you find us?" Zane asks "We saw a signal, I- I dont know how else to explain it" PIXAL answers.
"I should also mention that the Overlord wants your son and Theo, their Golden Power is the only way he can escape the Digital Realm and become physical again" PIXAL adds "Why did Borg give us the Techno Blades to protect, and why are they so important?" Kai asks.
"Because together they can reboot the system, wipe the master computer clean, and destroy the Overlord Virus, for good" PIXAL explains, the Ninja save Theo and Lloyd are in awe; PIXAL gasps "What is it?" Nya asks "I didnt come alone" PIXAL says.
"Who else is with you?" Jay asks "Nindroids" PIXAL says "NINDROIDS?!" Everyone save Theo and PIXAL say together "Nindroids? Where are they? I dont see any of them" Jay says panicked "9 vs 18, probability of survival, around 50%" PIXAL says.
The Ninja get in an immense fight with the Nindroids and most of the Ninja and others are overwhelmed; Theo, Nya, and Lloyd are standing on the hill fighting the Nindroids up there; Lloyd charges up an attack "No, your power only strengthens them!" Nya points out.
Lloyd jumps down and leaps off the rock before doing a Golden Spinjitzu Tornado and takes down the Nindroids attacking Zane before holding his damaged body in his arms; Four more Nindroids approach Theo and Nya however Theo defeats them with a singular Shatterspin Shockwave.
"We need to get out of here!" Nya issues before everyone runs inside the dojo and out next to the waterfall "Anyone wanna clear a path?" Jay asks "Yeah, I got an idea" Cole says; everyone then rides the water wheel and fake their exit on their vehicles.
"It wont be long until they figured out we used autopilot, we should get a move on" Cole says "Im coming with you, if the Overlord wants my son and Theo, im not letting them out of my sight" Garmadon says.
"Ill stay and look after the monastery" Misako says "Wait if he wants me and Theo, and the Techno Blades are the only thing that can stop him, shouldnt we split up just in case?" Lloyd suggests "Good thinking, Zane's Falcon knows the secret location of my Samurai X Cave, you, Theo, and your father go and take what you need to get as far away from us as possible" Nya says to Lloyd.
"Secret cave, I thought we knew everything about each other" Jay said looking disappointed "Well a girl's gotta have her secrets" Nya says partially playfully "What are you guys gonna do? those Nindroids wont let you take one foot into the city" Lloyd says.
"Yeah Nya what are we gonna do?" Jay adds "Were gonna shut down the power!" Nya issues; and with that the battle against the Overlord can finally begin again, even if it is indirect.
