(In the city, Kai and Cole race through the streets. A Dragonide picks up Kai's vehicle.)

Cole: I didn't know your vehicle could fly!

Kai: It can't! It can't!

(The two scream as they crash. Kai wakes up to find himself upside down.)

Kai: What? Where am I? Cole? Cole! Cole, can you hear me? (He frees himself.) Ouch! (He attempts to free Cole.)

Pythor: (To the Vengestone Guards) You six go that way! The rest of you, that way! Search the streets!

Kai: I know that voice.

Pythor: Find the ninja! The Crystal King commands it!

Kai: Come on. Come on! Wake up, Cole, buddy. Not a good time for a beauty nap! (He lifts the cockpit.)

Cole: What happened? Did we win?

Kai: Not exactly. (He picks Cole up and carries him.)

Pythor: Jackpot! Finally! (He approaches the wreckage, but the ninja are missing.) Where are they? Ah. They're close. I can taste them! (In a singsong voice) Oh ninja! Where are you?

Cole: We're over here!

Kai: Are you nuts?!

Pythor: Come out, come out, wherever you are!

Kai: Cole. Cole, snap out of it! I could really use your help here!

Pythor: Found you. (He blocks Kai's attack with the Nunchucks of Destruction.) Oopsie. Didn't work! If only your friend were awake. Perhaps, together, the two of you might have had a fighting chance.

Skylor: Let's find out!

Kai: Skylor? How did you —

Skylor: Hiya, hot shot. (She replicates both Kai's and Cole's powers.)

Pythor: Skylor? You're the one with the ability to —

Skylor: Yep. (She combines Fire and Earth to attack Pythor.)

Pythor: Impressive! But even your powers will be negated by my Vengestone soldiers! Warriors, advance!

(Skylor seals the path with Earth.)

Kai: Not bad.

Skylor: It won't last for long. Come on!

Pythor: They're getting away! Break these down! Smash them down! (To the ninja) You can run, but you can't hide! We will find you! The Crystal King sees all! He will bring devastation and ruin down upon all of — Are you still there? I've — Hello? I can't see you! Look, am I just talking to myself or what? (He sighs melodramatically.) Well, that's just rude!

Kai: Where are the others?

Skylor: In the Bounty. It was destroyed. It went down somewhere in the city.

Cole: (He wakes up.) What?

Skylor: Welcome back. Yeah, we lost contact with them. I came after you guys, P.I.X.A.L. went after Zane, and Jay is looking for Nya. But the GPS transponder on the Bounty was destroyed, so we have no way of — look out! (They take cover as Harumi flies overhead on a Dragonide.)

Kai: Harumi.

Skylor: They've been searching the city for you ninja.

Kai: If they haven't found us, maybe they haven't found the others either.

Skylor: Maybe. But I don't like our chances out in the open. We need to find shelter, fast.

Kai: Hey, I know where we are. Follow me!

(He takes them to the arcade.)

Skylor: An arcade?

Kai: I figure if you're gonna be trapped, might as well be trapped somewhere awesome.

Jake: The ninja? Oh, wow!

Cole: Oh, jeez, kid. You scared my butt off!

Kai: Hey, I know you. You're, uh ...

Jake: Jake!

Kai: Jake! Right. What are you doing here, Jake?

Jake: I was on my way home when the attack started. So I ran in here! 'Cause I figured, if you're gonna be trapped somewhere, might as well be trapped somewhere awesome.

Kai: Heh, good thinking.

Skylor: No, not good thinking. We're not safe here. We have to get him somewhere actually safe.

Cole: What about the Sam X Cave?

Skylor: Too far. I was lucky to get into the city alone, but with all of us? We'd never make it.

Kai: What about Borg Tower?

Skylor: That's on the other side of town, and we have no way of knowing if it's been overrun.

Wu: (On the radio) If you can hear me, if there is anyone out there listening—

Cole: That's Master Wu!

Kai: He's alive!

Skylor: Shh. Listen!

Wu: (On the radio) Our home — under attack. Enemies — our streets — They hope to destroy all that is good — drive us into darkness — I am here to tell you: They will fail! We are not fearful. We are stronger than they know, and we will retake our city! The news never sleeps! Ninja never quit!

Skylor: "The news never sleeps?" That's the paperkid motto.

Kai: It's a clue. He's telling us where he is!

Cole: The newspaper warehouse!

(The four make their way through the city.)

Kai: Crystal creeps ahead. Follow my lead. When I say run, run. (He throws a can, distracting the crystalized citizens.) Now. Run!

(In the sewers, Garmadon and Lloyd arrive at a library.)

Garmadon: What's this?

Lloyd: A library.

Garmadon: Why would anyone build a library in the sewer?

Lloyd: The Serpentine! We've reached the home of the Serpentine! Look!

Garmadon: Bleh. Amazing anyone can concentrate with this stench.

Lloyd: Hello? Skales? (He finds a note.) "Sorry. Closed due to Overlord attack. Will reopen soon."

Garmadon: Hmm. I wouldn't bet on it.

Lloyd: We needed their help.

Garmadon: The Serpentine wouldn't have made any difference. The only thing that can destroy the Overlord is the power of the Oni. The Oni Form.

Lloyd: There has to be another way.

Garmadon: There isn't. Why do you persist in denying your heritage? Embrace your Oni side! Let your anger loose! Let it make you stronger!

Lloyd: I ... I can't!

Garmadon: Why not?

Lloyd: Because ... because ...

Garmadon: Because what?

Lloyd: Because I don't want to be like you! That's my greatest fear. That I'll end up like you! Because you don't care about anything or anyone!

Garmadon: That is not true!

Lloyd: Tell me one thing you care about. One thing!

(Garmadon shows him Christofern.)

Lloyd: Plants don't count! Plants aren't people! They don't have feelings! It doesn't care that you abandoned it, or that you never sent it a birthday card, or — or ... what's the point? You'll never understand. (He walks away.)

(Aboveground, Kai and the others make their way through the streets.)

Kai: We're almost there!

(They run into crystalized citizens.)

Cole: Back. Back the other way!

Jake: What do we do?

Kai: Get behind me.

Cole: Don't let them touch you!

(Just then, the paperkids appear and defeat the citizens.)

Cole: Lemme guess. You must be the paperboys.

Antonia: I prefer paper delivery professional.

(In the warehouse, Wu serves noodles to the citizens.)

Wu: Here. This will warm you up.

Jake's dad: We have to try and find our son.

Wu: There is nothing you can do. If you go outside, you will only be infected like the others. Please, stay here.

Skids: When does the news sleep?

Antonia: Never!

Jake: Mom! Dad!

Jake's mom: Oh, Jake!

Wu: Cole! Kai! Skylor!

Cole: Master Wu!

Kai: Boy, is it good to see you!

Wu: Now, let's get to work. There is much to be done.

Cole: I was hoping you'd say that.

Kai: Let's do it.
