Natedogx15

While momentarily caught off guard, Sensei Wu is quick to act.

"Ninja go!" He shouts as he uses his golden tornado to quickly take care of the skeleton guards, sending them flying before they understand what's happening.

When they hit the ground again, they shatter everywhere like a knocked-over vase.

"You'll have to take it from me." Sensei Wu challenges his brother directly as he drops his Spinjitzu and glares at his brother.

Unfortunately, Sensei Wu didn't take care of all the skeletons. Lord Garmadon points behind Sensei Wu, and the old master turns around to see the throne shift aside and Samukai walks out of a secret passage, carrying three of the four golden weapons. He carries the scythe and nunchucks in his upper arms and carries the two shuriken with his lower arms.

"Hello, Wu," Samukai says gleefully, staring at the man with violence in his eyes.

"Samukai." Sensei Wu says, glaring at the skeleton as if he's an old enemy.

"Your Spinjitzu looks rusty. Do you think you can handle me when I wield these?" Samukai demands as he raises the golden weapons.

"It's more than enough to rattle your bones." Sensei Wu promises.

But the man is already backing away from the skeleton, sword ready for any attack. Unfortunately, there's not that much room for him to maneuver. The middle of the room, where he's at, is basically a giant platform with two bridges over a massive hole with a glowing pink light at the bottom.

Samukai grins like a cat that has its prey cornered as part of the platform that Sensei Wu stands on suddenly breaks off, emphasizing the pit. Samukai takes advantage of the opening Sensei Wu provides as he watches the rock fall, jumping toward him with a war cry and weapons drawn back.

Fortunately for Sensei Wu, the war cry drags him back to the fight, and he quickly flips over Samukai's exaggerated attack. He then jumps off the general's back to create distance between them, letting him dodge Samukai's wild scythe swing as he turns around.

The fight continues like this. Samukai will try to pressure or corner Sensei Wu, but the man displays superhuman agility for someone his age, dodging and flipping over the general's attacks. Finally, the two end up locked in a clash in the middle of the platform, glaring into the other's eyes as they try to get the upper hand in the contest of strength.

Meanwhile, Lord Garmadon is grinning. As the two fight, he sits on his throne and watches like an emperor watching a gladiator battle.

"Teach him a lesson." Lord Garmadon orders Samukai in a low, almost whisper-like, ominous tone as he glares at the battle.

-------------------

Meanwhile, outside Garmadon's home, his army slowly closes in on the ninja, and the group begins to panic.

"Any ideas? I'm all ears," Kai says desperately as he begins to lose his nerve.

At this point, he's not even sure if Spinjitzu will be enough because of the spiders. And the others seem to feel the same way, since they don't try attacking with it either.

Unfortunately, the skeletons aren't as hesitant to attack, causing Kai to begin wildly swinging at them in panic. The skeletons seem to back off from his attack, but they're not that scared of him.

That doesn't comfort the ninja, as all of their minds race to find a solution to help their current situation.

But it's soon Jay who finds a solution, as his eyes widen like someone who has just remembered something important.

"Guys! The Tornado of Creation!" He calls out as he looks toward them.

"That's right." Kai's eyes widen in realization as he says this.

"But it could lead to disastrous consequences." Cole reminds the others, Zane seeming to nod.

"We're about to have a disastrous consequence." Kai reminds them as the skeletons draw closer.

-------------------

Back within Garmadon's home, the two Miraculous wielders are still trying to figure out what to do.

"W-we should probably find Sensei Wu. T-to make sure he's safe." Ladybug suggests to Cat Noir as she starts walking a little bit further into the palace.

"But what about the others. They're still outside and are probably fighting against that army." Cat Noir argues, pointing to the door and glaring, not liking to leave them be.

"I-I know. But Sensei Wu could be trapped somewhere here. And they might already have all four weapons. If we find him, h-he'll know what to do." Ladybug argues nervously, keeping her eyes away from Cat Noir's own.

"That doesn't mean we can't help the others before we find him." Cat Noir argues back in frustration.

That causes Ladybug to pause, since he's not exactly wrong. However, her instincts and worries are telling her they need to find Sensei Wu.

"T-the others should be able to take care of themselves. But Sensei Wu could be in danger. Garmadon might have him!" She shouts as more panic begins to build in her.

Now it's Cat Noir's turnt o pause since Ladybug brings up a really good point. Still, he now has friends again. And he doesn't want to have to leave them behind again, like he had to last time.

"I think we should go back and get the others. They can help us find Sensei Wu and Garmadon." Cat Noir tells her as he walks toward the door.

Ladybug watches him go with some conflict in her eyes.

"Shouldn't we stick together, though?" Ladybug calls out to him worriedly.

"You can follow me if you want. But I'm going back to help them." Cat Noir calls out to Ladybug before running for the front door to help the ninja.

Ladybug takes a few steps after him, holding her hand toward him. However, she soon stops and watches him go. Part of her still wants to chase after him and probably help the ninja. But a bigger part of her is screaming to look for Sensei Wu. Maybe it's because she wants to repay him for saving her and because she doesn't want to be near her former crush. Or it could be that she really believes something bad will happen if they take the time to get the others and don't hurry. Either way, Ladybug decides to let him go and runs off in the other direction.

-------------------

With Cat Noir, he opens the door in time to see the ninja beginning to try the Tornado of Creation.

At the center of the skeleton encirclement, Cole is the first to make a move.

"Earth!" He shouts as he performs Spinjitzu, creating his tornado.

"Fire!" Kai screams as he does the same thing.

"Ice!" Zane soon follows after Kai.

"Lightning!" Jay finishes for the group as they are all now using Spinjitzu.

"What are they doing?" Cat Noir questions as he watches them all.

The reason for his question is that the ninja aren't charging or trying to break through the encirclement. Instead, they're staying in the middle.

But they soon take action. The flame, ice, and earth tornadoes circle the lightning one as it moves into the very center of the encirclement. Then the earth tornado jumps atop the lightning tornado, followed by the flame tornado, then the ice tornado. With surprising strength, Jay is managing to hold the other three above him. And none of them seems to lose an ounce of their rotation.

Before Cat Noir can further question what they're trying to do, he's met with a shocking sight. The four tornadoes seem to be combining into a single, multi-colored, giant tornado. It almost looks like it shines the same gold color as Sensei Wu's Spinjitzu. However, within it are the colors and elements of the four ninja.

Not only that, but Cat Noir can feel their powers radiating from it. There's a paradoxical feeling of heat and cold emanating from it. But there's also a roughness of sand and a static feeling. As he feels this, Cat Noir can feel his shocked face slowly turn into one of excitement as he stares at the power the group of four is displaying.

"I seriously have to learn how to do Spinjitzu." He can't help but laugh as he watches the tornado attack, pulling in the skeletons and spiders.

They can do practically nothing as they and the surrounding vehicles get pulled inside. The only thing some of them are doing is jumping off the island, preferring the seemingly infinite fall over getting caught in the tornado.

After capturing all of the living enemies, the tornado suddenly shifts direction, heading toward the bridge between the courtyard and palace, causing Cat Noir to panic.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Cat Noir shouts in a panic as he jumps and waves for the tornado to stop before it starts going across the bridge.

However, whether on purpose or not, the ninja don't seem to listen and continue forward, causing Cat Noir to panic before running back toward the door. Unfortunately, he wasn't near it when the tornado came, having walked closer as the tornado captured the enemy troops.

The cat-themed hero runs toward the front doors in a panic. But the tornado is actually managing to outpace him since he has to fight against its suction. Feeling it pulling him in, Cat Noir grows desperate and follows his instincts, hopping on all fours and using the claws on his hands to dig into the rock for more leverage.

"This isn't funny guyyyyssss!" He shouts before panicking as he realizes his nails are getting dragged across the ground, toward the tornado.

It's not just him. The bone spikes around the bridge are also getting absorbed by the Tornado of Creation.

"Now I really wish Ladybug followed me." Cat Noir groans before following the spikes into the tornado as it returns to the courtyard.

As soon as it's in the center, the tornado seems to glow even brighter before it begins to break apart into its four base elements. The ninja then soon stop using their Spinjitzu, revealing that Cat Noir is in Cole's arms.

"Ugh. That felt very different from last time." Cat Noir groans as his face is a sickly green.

"Sorry about that. New technique." Cole apologizes with a wince before quickly putting Cat Noir down, so the hero doesn't puke on him.

"And a pretty awesome one to," Jay says in a voice that screams how he's grinning under his mask as he and the others stare at what their Tornado of Creation did.

Instead of launching the items they ninja collected with the power, the Tornado of Creation seems to have used them to build something. The item is a giant Ferris wheel that's now firmly built in the middle of the courtyard. The structure is pristine, as if the ninja spent months on it and not a few minutes. And inside the spider-themed carts, all of the skeleton soldiers are stuck like caged criminals as the structure spins.

Within his cage, Nuckal even has some pink cotton candy that the Tornado of Creation seems to have conjured up.

"Yum." He hums as he takes a bite before he hears Kruncha sigh in exasperation.

"You realize that's made of spider silk, right?" He asks in annoyance, causing Nuckal to blink before pulling the candy away to see it was, in fact, spider silk.

"Ah." He screams before throwing the former snack away and frantically spitting.

All the while, Kruncha shakes his head in a mixture of annoyance and defeat.

Back on the ground, Kai is the first to look away from their work to stare at the others.

"Come on. We need to help Sensei Wu." Kai orders, causing all the ninja and Cat Noir to run off.

-------------------

Inside Garmadon's home, Ladybug is rapidly descending the same stairwell that Sensei Wu was going down a moment ago.

"I hope Adrien and the others will be okay. Maybe I should have gone back after them." She begins to doubt herself.

But she soon shakes her head and continues forward.

"It's too late now. I just need to find Sensei Wu and get us out of here." She thinks as her determination rises.

With that, she hurries down the stairs even more. As she gets closer to the bottom, she can hear shouting and the clashing of metal and stone. Worry creeps into her mind as she realizes something is going on, and she finds herself slowing down as she reaches the last step.

Cautiously, Ladybug peeks out of the stairway to see what's happening in the room, hoping that it has nothing to do with Sensei Wu or an army of skeletons.

Unfortunately, fate still isn't doing the girl any favors, as she's now watching Sensei Wu clash with Samukai while Garmadon watches on. From her hiding spot, she lets out a gasp of shock and worry before covering her mouth. Luckily, the music of battle is loud enough to drown it out, so no one notices her.

Instead, she's able to continue watching as Sensei Wu and Samukai trade blows. Sensei Wu ducks under a nunchuck swing, then rolls to the side to avoid getting stabbed with a downward strike from the scythe. He then charges at Samukai and slashes at him with his sword. But Samukai uses the scythe's handle to block it. He then pushes Sensei Wu back.

Despite having them, Samukai doesn't seem keen on throwing the Shuriken of Ice. Whether he's not good with throwing weapons or worried about Sensei Wu stealing them while they're out of Samukai's reach, the skeleton general is relying solely on his melee weapons. That is, for mid-range.

Sensei Wu attempts to dive in close and stab up at Samukai's head from a blind spot. However, the skeleton general is quick to block the strike by catching it using both shuriken. He then throws his lower arms out to push Sensei Wu away.

"You really have gotten rusty." Samukai mockingly chuckles as he smiles sinisterly at Sensei Wu.

"I'm still capable enough to defeat you like my brother." Sensei Wu fires back, causing Samukai to scowl.

Sensei Wu then performs his Spinjitzu and charges toward Samukai. However, the bone general isn't intimidated. Instead, he spins his nunchucks rapidly before firing off a lightning bolt at Sensei Wu, kicking the old master out of his golden spin.

Seeing this, Ladybug immediately grabs her yo-yo and is about to rush to help. But she manages to stop herself at the last second.

"Calm down. Sensei Wu is stronger than you. He'll be okay." She mutters to herself to calm down.

The girl knows she has to be smart. She has to rely on her mind and not her instincts. So, with great reluctance, she stays hidden, waiting for a chance to do something more than if she recklessly charged in.

"If I time it right, I might be able to snatch one of the weapons." Ladybug thinks to herself before Lord Garmadon's eyes narrow.

He glares at the stairwell, but not because he sees Ladybug. No, instead, he glares because he can feel something coming, something above the room and fairly far away.

"So, they managed to defeat my guards." He mutters before looking toward Samukai.

"Finish him, Samukai. I sense my brother's students approaching." He orders in a commanding and impatient tone.

Hearing that, Ladybug's eyes widen, and she quickly looks up the stairs to see if she can spot the others coming down. However, it doesn't seem like they're on the stairs yet. At least, they're not close enough for her to hear them.

But she does hear something. It's the sound of battle growing louder. She quickly returns her attention to the battle. When she does, she sees Samukai fighting even more relentlessly than before, doing his best to pressure Sensei Wu and force the old master to make a mistake.

Samukai growls and begins making larger motions to add more force to his attacks with the weapons in his upper arms. He even releases his grip on the scythe to grab the handle closer to the bottom for more range, catching Sensei Wu off guard with the quick shift and sending him stumbling to the side. Seeing his chance, Samukai swings the nunchucks at Sensei Wu, forcing the man backward before he can regain his footing.

Ladybug gasps as she sees Sensei Wu pushed back, unable to believe her eyes since the man felt invincible in all the fights before this one. And it makes her all the more anxious to help and scared she'll mess it up again.

"What should I do? How can I help?" She mentally questions as she looks past the battle toward the only other onlooker.

Lord Garmadon is glaring at the battle as it continues, but makes no move to help his general. However, that just makes him all the more intimidating to Ladybug since he'll see anything she tries if she moves to help Sensei Wu. And his words are another point of debate for her.

"Should I just wait for the others to get down here?" She can't help but question.

However, Sensei Wu's struggles make her immediately unhappy with that concept. She's honestly not sure if the man will last if she does nothing, especially if Lord Garmadon loses his patience.

"He might attack if he feels the others getting close." She notes as she goes over her options.

With that in mind, she begins going over her options on how she can help Sensei Wu on her own.

"Should I try tying him up. No, I might not get him with all those arms." She quickly refuses to try tying Samukai up, since she's not sure she can do it at an angle where all the arms will be useless, meaning Samukai can't use the weapons.

"Maybe I can sneak past them and get to Garmadon. If I can, I can get him to stop attacking." She notes, but soon shakes her head as she looks at her costume.

The bright colors of her uniform are sure to draw attention. And Garmadon is facing the door. So, she can't do anything sneaky and time-consuming. It has to be something quick. And she doubts she can quickly throw her yo-yo at Garmadon with the battle happening between them.

"If I can't get to him, I'll have to do something about the person fighting Sensei Wu." She thinks, quickly glancing out again.

As she does, Sensei Wu quickly ducks under the extended scythe and tries to dive in with a stab, only to be batted away by one of the shuriken again. But Sensei Wu seems to have expected this and parries the attack downward, using the sword like a pole to flip over Samukai. He then swiftly turns and tries for a horizontal slash, only for it to get blocked by Samukai's nunchucks.

She's now trying to figure out where she should aim her yo-yo at Samukai. The body is already a no-go. So, she's trying to figure out whether to go for one of the weapons or grab his ankles.

"Even grabbing one of his ankles will throw him off and cause him to drop the weapons toward Sensei Wu." She thinks before something pops into her mind again.

She looks back toward Garmadon and begins to wonder if that's the best idea. She remembers what happened in the volcano. If Garmadon could do that with only a shadow, then what could he do here? With that question in mind, she's trying to see if there's a different route where she and Sensei Wu wouldn't have to fight, at least, not alone.

She looks back up the stairwell, still not hearing the others. But Garmadon's words do give her an idea.

"If I can't stop the fight here. I can at least move it somewhere else." She tells herself as she finally comes to a decision.

Watching Samukai carefully, specifically, the arm holding the scythe, Ladybug holds her yo-yo with both hands. Patiently, the girl waits for a specific moment to present itself. And soon it does.

Samukai knocks Sensei Wu back with the nunchucks and draws his arm back for a heavy strike with his scythe. At that moment, Ladybug makes her move. Running into view and throwing her yo-yo before Garmadon can react, she wraps it around the scythe's handle and the blade's base. She then pulls the yo-yo string back to her. Surprised, Samukai's grip lessens, letting her take the scythe from his grasp into her arms with a grunt as the momentum slightly knocks the wind from her.

"Stop her!" Garmadon shouts both angrily and urgently, slamming his fist on one of his throne's arms.

Samukai turns to Ladybug, only for Sensei Wu to kick him in the side and steal the nunchucks.

"Run!" Sensei Wu commands, doing just that toward Ladybug.

Not needing to be told twice, Ladybug runs up the stairwell with Sensei Wu behind her, the two doing their best to get up and as far away from Garmadon as possible.

"After them!" Garmadon shouts angrily as he rises from his throne.

"Don't let those two escape with the weapons, you incompetent fool!" Garmadon screams at Samukai, losing all sense of arrogance in his anger as the two escape.

Samukai quickly rises from the ground and runs toward the stairwell. Upon entering, he throws the Shuriken of Ice upward instead of going up the stairs himself. As they go up the middle of it, the shuriken suddenly begin shooting ice all over the staircase, freezing the stairs as they rise before coming back down.

With the stairs now as slick as an ice rink, Ladybug soon slips and falls to the side, toward the middle of the stairwell. Before she can fully fall, though, she manages to grab the edge of the stairs. Unfortunately, the ice makes it difficult to hold, and gravity is still pulling her down.

"Help!" She shouts in alarm before falling.

However, the scythe's blade digs into the stair as she slips, letting her hang there. Realizing she didn't fall, Ladybug couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief before looking down. Only to panic when she sees Samukai glaring up at her.

"Are you okay?" Sensei Wu asks, stabbing the Sword of Fire into the ground to keep himself stable.

"Y-yeah." Ladybug nods as she stares down.

Her eyes widen when she sees Samukai spinning his only other weapon besides the shuriken.

"Watch out!" Ladybug shouts to Sensei Wu as she quickly tries to climb back up using the scythe.

As she does, Samukai launches a lightning bolt at the group, destroying the stairs near her. The destruction causes the scythe to lose its grip on the stairs.

"No!" Sensei Wu shouts as he tries to grab the scythe, but it just falls out of his reach, taking Ladybug with it.

The girl panics as she feels herself falling while Samukai grins sadistically, ready to get payback against the girl who caught him off guard. However, the enhanced abilities and instincts Ladybug gains from her suit let her react quickly enough to pull out her yo-yo and throw it toward Sensei Wu.

Without hesitation, Sensei Wu lifts the Sword of Fire and slashes at the yo-yo string so it'll wrap around the sword. He then replants it on the stairs to act as an anchor. In doing so, he saves Ladybug by causing her to stop falling. Unfortunately, when Ladybug comes to an abrupt stop midair, she accidentally drops the scythe.

Samukai's eyes widen as it slams into his face, causing him to stumble backward while the weapon lands on its side.

"Ugh." He groans as he runs his hand along his large scar, seemingly worried it might have caused the scar to grow.

"We will regain it later! For now, we must focus on finding the others and protecting the Sword of Fire!" Sensei Wu shouts down at her.

As he tries to help Ladybug up, his panic and urgency prevent him from noticing a shadow with glowing red eyes behind him. As the shadow creeps up behind him, Sensei Wu can hear what sounds like multiple people running down the stairwell above him, soon followed by voices.

"I can hear shouting down here! It sounds like Sensei Wu!"

"Then we've gotta hurry!"

The sounds distract him even more, letting the shadow jump off the wall, ripping the sword from his grip, and diving back to the bottom of the stairwell. Ladybug lets out a scream as she falls again.

This time, it's her slamming into Samukai's skull, causing the general to fall on his back as she groans atop him. As she recovers, the shadow flies over her and drops the sword before Samukai's head.

"Grab the weapons, you fool!" Garmadon snaps at Samukai.

His hissing-like voice seems to pull Samukai out of his daze. The general looks around in confusion for a moment before seeing the sword lying ahead of him. He quickly uses his free upper arm to grab it, then notices the scythe next to him. Putting both shuriken in one hand and the nunchucks in the now free lower hand, Samukai throws Ladybug off him with his free hand and reaches for the scythe with his free upper arm.

Luckily, Sensei Wu isn't sitting still. The man jumped off the stairs and used Spinjitzu to slow his descent before landing between Samukai and the scythe. Without dropping his Spinjitzu, Sensei Wu grabs the scythe and Ladybug, then rushes back to the center of the room.

Soon, he drops his Spinjitzu and stands between the rising Samukai and Ladybug, ready to use the scythe if he must. Meanwhile, his brother chuckles behind him.

"Hehehehe, you almost managed to evade me, brother. However, we both know this is fate you're working against." Garmadon reminds Sensei Wu in a mocking tone.

His words don't have an obvious effect on Sensei Wu. However, it causes him to lose his focus for a second as he glances to the side, as if he's trying to look at Garmadon. But he doesn't turn his body, keeping it trained on Samukai.

"I'm sorry." Ladybug apologizes guiltily as she shakily rises, sad and guilty that her plan didn't work out despite the thought she put into it.

"It was a good try. And it bought us some time." Sensei Wu quickly tells the girl in a slightly comforting tone as Samukai walks toward them.

"But not nearly enough. All you did was trade weapons with me." Samukai states, raising the Sword of Fire for emphasis.

"Enough games, Samukai. I can sense the rest of my brother's group growing closer. Claim the final weapon before they get here." Garmadon orders, causing Samukai to growl silently.

But he's quick to follow the orders. He charges at Sensei Wu and slashes at him with the Sword of Fire. Sensei Wu blocks it with the scythe while Ladybug quickly backs away and grabs her yo-yo again.

As the duo clash, Cat Noir and the ninja finally reach the bottom of the stairwell, in time to see the battle take a sudden turn.

With his final free arm, Samukai latches onto the scythe's handle. He then launches an attack with the nunchucks in his lower arm. The attack slams into Sensei Wu's side and causes him to loosen his grip with the loss of breath and pain. Feeling his chance, Samukai rips the scythe from Sensei Wu's grip and smacks him away with it.

"Sensei Wu!" Ladybug shouts in alarm before quickly throwing her yo-yo. She wraps it around the Sword of Fire and tries to take it. But Samukai is wise to her trick now. So, he braces himself against her pull and even turns it around against her by throwing his arm forward and dragging Ladybug off her feet.

With the two down, Samukai raises all his arms in victory, proudly displaying each weapon to the heroes as he looks to Lord Garmadon.

"No!" Cat Noir shouts in alarm upon seeing this, then sprints at Samukai.

His action causes the ninja to sprint into action as well, weapons drawn. But Samukai hears them coming and easily stops their charge by throwing one of the shuriken.

The weapon flies in an arc while radiating a chilling mist. The mist soon expands, easily freezing the legs of Samukai's charging enemies before boomeranging back.

Samukai catches it with ease while Cat Noir raises his hand to use Cataclysm to free himself.

"No, stop!" Sensei Wu shouts at Cat Noir when he sees what the teen hero is doing.

Cat Noir looks at Sensei Wu in shock, but the master shakes his head, not wanting Cat Noir to waste Cataclysm here, especially if he still doesn't understand how to use it.

"Ah, the gang's all here." Garmadon chuckles.

"Just in time to see me finally regain my freedom." He mocks before looking at Samukai.

"Bring the weapons to me." Garmadon commands.

But Samukai doesn't move. Instead, he takes a moment to look at all four weapons in his hands before smirking.

"No!" Samukai shouts toward Garmadon while slashing the air with his sword for emphasis.

Garmadon's eyes narrow at the sudden disobedience.

"What?" He hisses in a low, warning tone.

"You will obey me now!" Samukai orders confidently.

But much to his confusion, Garmadon suddenly breaks into a smile, as if he saw this coming the entire time. Then, Garmadon breaks into a laugh.

"No one can handle all of their power at once!" Sensei Wu shouts to Samukai, causing the general to turn to him in surprise.

Before Samukai knows it, the weapons suddenly begin to shake in his arms against his will. It's almost like they're animals frantically trying to get out of a trap.

"Selfish fool!" Garmadon calls out, causing the panicking Samukai to turn his attention back to him.

"You think I wouldn't plan on your betrayal?" Garmadon demands as Samukai feels the weapons pulling him off the ground.

"What's happening to me!?" Samukai screams in surprise and fear as it feels the weapons pulling him apart.

"You've fallen right into my master plan," Garmadon tells him with a mocking smile as he enjoys the show from his throne.

"Not even I can handle all of their power," he tells Samukai while slamming his chest as the heroes watch in shock.

"But now that they are combined, it will create a vortex through space and time, allowing me to finally escape this gastly place," Garmadon explains with several hand motions before rising from his throne.

The heroes watch as Samukai begins to spin and scream. It doesn't last long, though. In the next instant, Samukai's body seems to evaporate. Almost like Cat Noir's Cataclysm, there isn't a trace of him left as the weapons fall to the ground.

In the next instance, a flashing blue vortex opens near the glowing weapons. A vortex that Garmadon is all too happy to walk toward.

"Father would not want you to do this, brother!" Sensei Wu calls out in distress, trying to appeal to his brother one last time.

"Father is no longer here!" Garmadon shouts angrily as he turns to Sensei Wu.

The vortex flashes so brightly that the heroes have to protect their eyes as Garmadon continues.

"Good and evil, there's always been a balance," Garmadon calls to his brother while weighing his hands like plates on a scale.

"But where I go, the balance can be destroyed! Soon, I will be strong enough to possess the four weapons! So, I may recreate the world in my image!" Garmadon shouts in mad glee before turning back to the vortex.

But before he goes through, he turns and points at his brother one last time.

"You. You were always his favorite." He tells Sensei Wu as the master peeks past his hands to stare at Garmadon, watching his brother walk through the vortex.

With those final words, Garmadon enters the vortex, and it closes as fast as it appeared, leaving the heroes the only ones left in the chamber. But more than that, leaving them with the dread of what's to come next.
