LJ tries to make up for his actions against the Rangers as they have their fighting spirits taken from them.

———

It was morning as LJ woke up, took off the cloth from his forehead, and sat up to look around. "Where am I?" He asked himself before he somehow knowing that he was in Wu's bedroom in the monastery before noticing some clothes on a nearby bedside table.

———

Several minutes later, LJ, wearing the clothes which consist of a green jacket, dark green shirt, black jeans and black sneakers, came out of the room while putting the jacket on, and walked down the hallway before coming across the door to the study partly opened before peeking his head in it. Inside was Wu and Kai.

"Master, are you sure we shouldn't send Lloyd to juvie?" Kai asked as he paced a bit.

"Because, he was a confused boy, who didn't know that he opened a can of worms." Wu replied. "And we need to keep him away from his father."

"I get it, I do. But, what is so special about him?"

"Well, you see-"

"Hey!" Cole's voice was heard as LJ turned around to see him before he grabs hold of him, and brings him into the room.

———

"Unhand me!" He yelled as he was dragged in.

"Caught this little brat spying on you guys. We should've sent him to jail immediately!"

"Let me go! I was just curious."

"Cole." Wu said. "Let him go." Cole soon lets LJ go, and pushes him forward. "I see you've woken up."

"Yeah. I know that what I did was wrong, once my father turned me into a dragon. "I want to help because it was my mess in the first place."

"I know you do, Junior. But for now, since your father now has the Mega Weapon, it appears we need a little extra firepower."

"Like what?" Zane as he came in with Jay.

"I'm afraid I don't have an answer at the moment. Now, I have to talk to Nya before we decide what to do with Junior. You guys take some time off, do what regular teenagers always do. Oh, Kai, if you want to, take Junior and go for a walk with him."

"Yes, master."

"I have to work on something with my parents anyway, so I'll see you later." Jay said as he walked out.

———

At Darkley's, in his office, Lloyd growled as he watched Kai, Cole, Jay, Zane and LJ leaving as Zane and Cole were arguing a bit. "Wu made Junior turn against me?" He asked. "Well, I'm gonna make sure he would only rely on me." He then turned to Kruncha and Nuckal. "Send a group of Skulkins, get my son back here!"

"Yes, my lord." They both said as they immediately take off, and Lloyd turned to the Mega Weapon.

"While I'm at it, I'll distract the other Rangers, take their fighting spirit away." He grabs the Mega Weapon, and holds it high. "I wish for a monster that can take people's bravery away!" The end of the Mega Weapon glows, and a big fat-like skeleton, with a jar, appears in front of him.

"What are your orders, my lord?" It asked.

"Unspiri-Bone, I want you to grab the Rangers' fighting spirit. Once they're too scared to fight me, it is only a matter of time before my son is back with me."

"Yes, Lord Garmadon."

———

In the park, Kai and LJ walk along a bridge as they pass by an elderly couple. "So, apart from siding with your father, what would you like do?" Kai asked.

"I just feel like some candy." LJ replied.

"No, I'm not letting you go on a sugar high. How about some games at an arcade?"

"Sure thing."

"Okay, let's get going, Junior."

"I prefer LJ."

"Sorry." Suddenly, Skulkins appear around them, scaring some civilians nearby and they take off. "Look out, Skulkins!"

"They probably came to bring me back to my father!"

"Well, I'm not gonna let that happen." Kai soon ran at them as a Skulkin comes up behind LJ and was about to grab him, but he grabs hold of its wrist, spun around it, and kicked it, breaking it apart, while Kai twirled around the bridge railing, avoiding punches, and kicks before he stopped to kick at one, breaking it apart. LJ lied back, quickly placing his hands on the ground to bounce up, and kick a Skulkin before landing forward on the grass, stood up and falls backwards to avoid a Skulkin's swinging kick before he rolled to the left, avoiding its stomp, and then to the right to avoid another one, then left again.

"You missed!" He then spun and raised his left leg, kicking the Skulkin, knocking it over, but another Skulkin immediately grabbed his leg. LJ soon placed his other foot on the Skulkin's chest, making it let go of his left foot, and kicked it, knocking its head off.

Kai flips back, vaulting over the bridge railing without touching it before landing on the ground as the Skulkin he was fighting vaults over it, and prepares to strike him, but Kai punches it, breaking it apart. He soon grabbed hold of one of the supports, and kicked two Skulkins, breaking them apart. LJ runs up a nearby tree, places his hand on it, and bounces off, landing on top of a Skulkin, breaking it apart, bouncing off at the same time to land on the ground, and punched a Skulkin charging at him, breaking it apart. Kai soon came over to him as he stood among the separated Skulkins. "You okay?"

"Yeah."

"Come on, let's go get some ice cream instead." They soon walk away with LJ kicking a skull away.

———

At Ed and Edna's Scrap n Junk, Jay works on something behind a tarp as Edna hands him a glass of orange juice. "You gotta keep up with your vitamins." She said.

"Ah, thanks, Ma." Jay replied as he got up, grabbed the glass, and took a sip.

"I also heard you brought in that awful boy."

"Master Wu thinks he can help him fight against his father. I mean, he is only a kid, who made some mistakes." He soon stood up, and looked at the covered invention. "Well, with this extra firepower, I'm sure we'll take down Garmadon and the Mega Weapon easily."

Unspiri-Bone soon showed up. "That ain't gonna happen!" He yelled.

"Jay!" Edna yelled.

"Stay back." Jay replied as he raised his left arm. "Spinjitzu!" He moves his right thumb to his Spinjitzu Watch.

———

Jay moves his left hand by his right shoulder as he moved his right elbow back. "Ninjago!" He starts spinning as a blue tornado soon appeared and engulfed him. It soon dispersed revealing Jay, in his Ranger suit. He was on his right knee with his right arm spread out and his left arm in front of his right knee before he looks up as blue wind soon engulfed his head, turning into his blue helmet.

———

Jay gets out his flail and spun it before moving the chain underneath his armpit and poised while Edna takes cover behind the tarp. "I'm ready for you."

Unspiri-Bone charges at Jay, who moved to the side, and struck it from behind with its flail before moving to make a kick, but Unspiri-Bone blocked it before preparing to punch Jay. He was able to tilt back, place his hands on the ground, and lifted his legs to kick, but it grabs hold of his legs, spins him, and throws him into a scrap pile, causing him to demorph, and laid on the ground before Unspiri-Bone placed the jar onto Jay, causing a blue light to come out and enter the jar. "Ah, one down, four to go." It said as it got out a small object, similar to a lightning bolt.

Jay then opened his eyes and saw it, causing him to squeal, and ran for the trailer as Unspiri-Bone took off. "Jay?" Edna asked as she came out. "Jay?"

———

At an ice cream store, some customers looked on as Kai and LJ sat down at a bench. Kai was having a raspberry ice cream while Lloyd had choc chip. "Impressive fighting you did back at the bridge." Kai said.

"Thanks." LJ replied. "Though I am still a bit rusty."

"Where did you learn how to fight like that?"

"They had a fighting club at Darkley's. All students had to attend. I was top student, until I got expelled."

"So, how did you end up there anyway?"

"I was 3, not long after the Serpentine War had ended and my father was sent to the Underworld. My mother just abandoned me there, didn't even look back."

"I know the feeling of parents leaving. The previous Red Ranger, my father, and my mother, they were both great blacksmiths, until one night, Nya and I woke up, only to find them gone. Their bed wasn't disturbed, there was no note and their car was gone. My godparents ended up with custody of us since our parents were orphans. Turns out, they were kidnapped, and I intend to find out whom."

Skylor and Seliel soon came up to them. "Hey, Kai." Skylor said. "I see you've been given the job of babysitting the boy hanging around the skeletons invading the city."

"Nobody asked you, Skylor."

"You know, if you want to spend time together, probably spend it attacking the city now and then." Seliel said as they laugh and walk away.

"Just ignore them."

"I know." Lloyd said.

———

In Ninjago City, Cole and Zane back away as Unspiri-Bone hold up two small objects. One was like a rock and another looked like an ice shard. "All I need now is the Red and Maroon Rangers' fighting spirit." It said before taking off.

———

At the monastery, Nya was swinging a wooden spear as Wu watched her before some smoke came out, showing Jay at his parents' scrapyard and Cole and Zane in the city. "This is bad." Wu said. "Nya, head to Jay at his parents' scrapyard, Kai is closer to Cole and Zane."

"On it, Master." Nya replied as she takes off.

———

Outside the ice cream shop in Ninjago City, Kai and LJ had just left when Kai's Spinjitzu Watch beeped. Kai looked around before LJ points to a corner and they head over to it. "Kai here." He said.

"Kai, there is a problem with Cole and Zane." Wu replied through the Spinjitzu Watch. "Nya's gone to check on Jay, you and Junior are closer."

"We're on it." Kai turned to LJ and nod before they take off.

———

At Ed and Edna's Scrap n Junk, Nya, in her Ranger suit, drives Jay's Spinjitzu Bike before stopping outside the trailer, gets off, demorphs, came up to the door, and knocked on it. "Jay?" She asked.

The door soon opened, showing Edna. "Oh, Nya, sweetheart, you came." She said. "Something's wrong with Jay."

———

In the trailer, Nya comes in to see Jay, crouched in a corner as Ed was trying to calm him down. "What happened?"

"We got attacked by a monster, who did something to Jay, and now he's just like the day he was recruited."

Nya soon came up to him. "Jay? Jay, are you okay?"

"Um, hey, uh, Nya." He said, feeling very nervous. "Did you come to visit me?"

"I better get him back to the monastery."

———

In Ninjago City, Cole and Zane hide in an alleyway before Kai and LJ show up, scaring them. "Cole, Zane, what happened?" LJ asked as they came over to them.

"What is he doing here?" Cole asked, referring to LJ.

"He's not supposed to be here." Zane said.

"Something must've happened to them." LJ said.

Unspiri-Bone soon landed behind them, and Zane and Cole quickly back away. "Ahh, he's back!" They both yelled.

Kai turned to see it before turning to LJ. "LJ, stay here, watch out for them." He said before raising his left arm. "Spinjitzu!" He moves his right thumb to his Spinjitzu Watch.

———

Kai moves his left hand by his right shoulder as he moved his right elbow back. "Ninjago!" He starts spinning as a red tornado soon appeared and engulfed him. It soon dispersed revealing Kai, in his Ranger suit. He was on his right knee with his right arm spread out and his left arm in front of his right knee before he looks up as red wind soon engulfed his head, turning into his red helmet.

———

Kai somersaulted over Unspiri-Bone and got out his swords before swinging them. "Be c-c-careful, Kai." Cole said. "He took something from us."

Kai charged at Unspiri-Bone, who moved to the side before raising his hand to try and grab hold of him, but Kai quickly turned around and kicked his hand, knocking it back before striking it, making it move back. He then jumped in the air to try and kick it, but Unspiri-Bone grabbed hold of his leg, and starts to spin him around before letting him go, losing his swords in the process. "Time to take your inspiration, Red Ranger." It said as it came up behind Kai before placing the jar on his back. Unlike the others, there was no light coming out. "What is going on? Why? Why can't I take your inspiration?! It's too strong!"

"Kai!" LJ yelled, sliding one of Kai's swords over to him, which he grabs, turned around, and struck the jar, breaking it, and the medallion pieces float before moving off. Cole and Zane's inspirations enter them while Jay's took off.

"No, my jar!" Unspiri-Bone immediately took off while Kai got up and demorphed.

"What happened?" Kai asked.

"Well, you destroyed his jar, and suddenly, Cole and Zane are back to normal." LJ replied.

"Let's just get back to the monastery." They soon took off.

———

In the kitchen at the monastery, the Rangers, Wu and LJ were seated at a dinner table, eating dinner. "A monster who could take inspiration?" Wu asked. "Of course, inspiration is what keeps us brave."

"It tried to take Kai's, but the monster said his was too strong." LJ replied.

"Because my inspiration isn't just saving the world." Kai said. "Hoping into find my parents is also an inspiration."

"It seems it really is strong that you had the chance to destroy his jar." Wu replied.

"But knowing Garmadon, he'll get him a new one."

———

At Darkley's, Lloyd looked at Unspiri-Bone as its jar was on the desk. "The Red Ranger resisted?" He asked.

"Yes, it's like his inspiration was strong." Unspiri-Bone replied.

"Well, you must take the Maroon Ranger's inspiration. That'll weaken him." He then held the Mega Weapon over the jar. "I wish for this jar to be repaired." The Mega Weapon emits energy before the jar glowed before raising and assembled, becoming whole again. Lloyd soon sat down, tired. "Don't fail me this time."

"Yes, sir." Unspiri-Bone takes the jar, and immediately took off.

———

At the monastery, the Spirit Smoke comes into the study, and envisions Unspiri-Bone in the city. "Rangers, Unspiri-Bone is back." Wu said.

"We're on it." Jay replied as they take off, and LJ looked on.

"Spinjitzu!" The Rangers yelled outside. "Ninjago!"

———

Several minutes later, the Rangers move the Spinjitzu Bikes along the city, with Nya on the back of Jay's, before they stop, get off, and turn to Unspiri-Bone. "You made me feel bad in front of Lord Garmadon, so now I'll make you feel bad."

"Try it." Kai replied.

Unspiri-Bone charges at the Rangers, who immediately poised before charging at it. Zane tried to kick it, but Unspiri-Bone used its arm to shield it before striking him, knocking him down, and making him roll to the side. Unspri-Bone soon swung its jar, knocking Jay back before kicking Cole, knocking him down, and charges at Nya. Nya got out her spear and tried to strike it, but Unspiri-Bone grabbed hold of it, and swung it, sending Nya along with it before she lets go and landed on the ground. Unspiri-Bone then jumped onto Nya, and raised its jar. "Kai!" She yelled.

A flamethrower-like flame soon struck the jar, causing it to go on fire, and it immediately threw it away as Kai ran at him with both swords pointed out. "Leave my sister alone!" He soon stabbed the swords into the ground before flipping and kicked Unspiri-Bone, knocking it back while Nya crawled to her spear, and picked it up as she got up. "Aquire Cannon!"

"L.I.E. Blaster!" Cole yelled.

———

Nya holds out her spear while Kai places his swords on top, creating the Aquire Cannon and held it on each side of their shoulder. "Fire Power!" Kai places her hand on top of the cannon and aimed at Unspiri-Bone.

———

Jay held the flail out while Zane places his bow on top of the flail and Cole places his hammer on top, creating the L.I.E. Blaster as Jay and Zane held the sides while Cole held the flail handle. "Earth Power!" Cole said, placing his hand on top of the blaster. The end of the blaster soon starts emitting energy and expands.

"Ready? Fire!" The cannon fired its shot.

"Fire!" The blaster fired its shot.

———

The shots hit Unspiri-Bone, knocking it back and it lands on its chest. "Be ready. I bet Garmadon's gonna use the Mega Weapon."

———

At Darkley's, Lloyd growled as he grabbed the Mega Weapon and held it out. "I wish for you to grow!" He yelled as the Mega Weapon emits energy before a spark of energy comes out of it.

———

In Ninjago City, the Mega Weapon's energy comes out of the window, hitting Unspiri-Bone, who immediately grows and laughed. "Where we gonna do?" Jay asked.

"Why not use the L.I.E. Megazord?" Nya asked.

"There were some repairs that needed to be made after fighting LJ." Cole replied before beeping was heard, and they all look at their Spinjitzu Watches.

"Rangers, Jay's father just called and Kai and Nya's Zords are now complete." LJ said through the Spinjitzu Watches. "I'm sending them now."

"Where are they gonna come from?" Kai asked before hearing roaring was heard, and they turned to see a couple of mechs coming over to them. One was a lion and the other was a phoenix.

"Say hello to the Red Lion Zord and the Maroon Phoenix Zord."

"Alright, let's see what they can do." Nya said as she and Kai take off, and jump into their respective Zords.

———

In the Red Lion Zord, Kai sits in the chair, and looked around. "Are you liking this, sis?" He asked.

———

In the Maroon Phoenix Zord, Nya nodded. "Impressive."

"Okay, let's see what these can do." Kai said it through the screen.

———

Outside, the Red Lion Zord stopped before rising up and the front paws retract, revealing hands, the Maroon Phoenix Zord lands on the back, moved its wings down and raised up as the Lion Zord's head moved down and the Phoenix Zord's took over before tilting back, revealing a face. "Say hello to the Flame Megazord!"

———

I the cockpit, Nya turned to Kai as he looked on. "Flame Megazord? I like it."

———

Outside, the Flame Megazord charges at Unspiri-Bone, who tries to strike it with its once again, repaired jar, but it moved to the side and kicked it, knocking the jar out of its hand and it breaks the moment it landed on the ground. Unspiri-Bone then went to kick the Flame Megazord, striking the lion chest plate.

———

Inside the cockpit, Kai and Nya flailed a bit from the shock. "Let's see how you like this!"

———

Outside, the Flame Megazord raises an arm and goes to punch Unspiri-Bone, knocking it back.

———

In the cockpit, Kai turned to Nya. "Let's finish it before it recovers."

"The wings on the back of the Megazord."

"Let's see if they can come off!"

———

Outside, two sword handles come out of the phoenix wings before the Megazord pulled them out.

———

In the cockpit, Kai and Nya each held an arm up, like they're holding a sword each. "Flame Swords, final strike!" They both yelled, moving their arms down.

———

Outside, the swords ignite into fire before swinging them down, striking Unspiri-Bone, causing it to scream and explode.

———

In the cockpit, Kai and Nya give each other a high five. "A spinning victory." Nya said.

———

At Darkley's, Lloyd groaned as he was sitting down at his desk. "I never should've thought up using an monster to take away inspiration." He said before turning to Samukai. "Get me some tea, I have a small headache."

"Coming your way." Samukai replied before taking off.

———

In Mistaké's Tea Shop at the mall, the Rangers and LJ were having some tea. "So, how do you like the Zords?" Jay asked.

"They're great." Kai replied.

"I'm glad you did a phoenix." Nya said. "I like phoenixes, I might get a tattoo of one."

"Oh, no, sis. How many times have I told you not to get a tattoo?"

"Don't worry, I won't get one. Mom would kill me if she found out once we find her."

"So, how is finding your parents an inspiration?" Cole asked.

Kai soon got out his journal and turned a few pages. "According to my dad's journal, before he left, there was a suspicious character hanging around the village where we lived in and if he was taken, we will try our very best to find them." He replied. "I know our parents are alive somewhere, and we will not stop, even if it kills me."

This gets the others compliment him. "To searching for family." LJ said.

"To searching for family." The others said before sipping some tea.
