Just as the rebuilding effort in Ninjago begins, the four ninjas come to realize that evil has started to resurface with Lord Garmadon forging the ninjas' lost Golden Weapons into a Mega-Weapon with unspeakable powers.

The power is out in all of Ninjag, but the hard drive containing the Digital Overlord has disappeared. Some mysterious Stranger has stolen it and is now sending alternatively powered Nindroids to attack the Ninja and capture Lloyd.

Kai promises to watch over Lloyd when Lloyd fears the loss of his father will make the path ahead uncertain– but when Wu sends them out on an errand for his new Tea Farm, Lloyd goes on a solo mission... only to discover it's a trap from a GHOST who's escaped the Cursed Realm.

Nya has proof of Chen's plan but he entices the contestants to hunt her down with promises to advance the winner, forcing the Ninja in a race to get to her first – and Lloyd discovers Chen's plan to steal everyone's power so that he can complete a spell and turn his worshippers into Anacondrrai and bring the return of the Serpentine War.

When Moro uses the Realm Crystal to open a portal to the Cursed Realm, ghosts take over the town - but the Ninja, in disguise, manage to get Lloyd to the center of the town and Lloyd steals the crystal…only to discover it's too late as the Preeminent arrives.

The Ninjas, Lloyd, Sensei Wu and Misako journey to the Dark Island to find a 'Temple of Light' that can restore the Ninjas' elemental powers but are attacked by Starteeth (barnacle-like star fish) that start eating through their ship.
