The elemental masters are deflating the blimp, cheering while doing so. "Yeah! Haha!" Turner high-fived someone. 

"Sink the ferry. No one's getting off this island." Jay ordered, and Bolobo used nature veins to sink the ferry. 

Cole went to his friends, informing the following, "The and sleeping quarters are all clear. Still no sign of Chen and Clouse."

"What about Skylor?" Kai asked.

"She wasn't able to pick her family, but she was able to pick her friends. And since you're her friend, that means so are we. We'll find her." Lloyd replied, reassuring the red ninja.

"He's right. With no way off the island, it'll only be a matter of time." Y/n agreed, smiling.

"I'm proud of you six. You've done what the original Elemental masters never could: stick together. But you must not rest on your laurels, for your guard is down when you sleep." Garmadon walked up to the ninja, smiling proudly.

"The island is secure. We destroyed the elemental staff and Chen's attempt to turn his army into anacondrai has rolled up snake eyes." Nya informed Wu and Misako, sitting in the D. B. Express.

"Good work, Nya." Wu complimented the samurai.

"How is Zane?" Misako asked.

"He's good. A little different, but then again, aren't we all?" Nya replied, chuckling.

"The bounty is nearly finished. As soon as it's done, we'll come by to pick you up." Sensei Wu told her.

"I look forward to coming home to see you two." The falcon taps on the screen. "Heh, I mean, you three." Nya corrected herself.

"Looks like all the action is over by now. Put me on "Most Ultimate Extreme Ninja Challenge" and watch me smoke that course." Turner said, as he and Neuro are guarding the cultists. The master of speed kicked a stone, being bored.

Neuro groans and puts a hand on his head. "What is it?" The master of speed asked, concerned.

"Skylor's sending me a message. We have to tell the Ninja." He replied, making Griffin nod and run towards the ninja.

"Chen just figured out Skylor's powers can finish the spell. She's in danger." He said quickly, after reaching the team.

"He's replaced his Elemental staff with the Elements in his daughter." Garmadon added.

"Where?"

"Other side of the island." Turner informed, panting slightly.

"I'm going after her." Kai said, determined to save his friend.

"We all are. Jay, Zane, you take the mech and buggy. Cole and I will take the roto jet. Lloyd, you've got your elemental energy dragon. Nya, how fast will go?" Garmadon organised, as everyone hopped into their committed vehicles. Y/n jumped in by Nya.

"Fast enough." Nya replied, pulling a lever and getting ready.

"Everyone else stay here and guard the camp. Let's get a move on!" Garmadon finished, making Lloyd summoned his dragon, with Karlof and Turner watching.

Karlof sighed, "Karlof wish he could do that." He told Turner, following Lloyd's dragon with his eyes. 

"Ninja, go!" The others yelled, driving away.

 "So there I was, the helmet of darkness at my feet, destiny in my grasp." Dareth was talking with some Kabuki, until he realised the ninja left, "Wait a minute, where'd everybody go?" He gasped.

Zane was driving in front, with Nya and Y/n behind him, and Jay behind the two in his mech.. Lloyd, Garmadon and Cole were in the sky. "Watch out for booby traps. Chen's rigged this whole island." Nya warned, taking a turn left.

"Read you loud and clear." Jay replied, nodding.

"Be careful, Zane. At this speed, I cannot analyze approaching obstacles." Pixal told the nindroid, as he took a lot of turns at a high level speed.

"There isn't any time. We have to-" Zane stopped talking when the car flipped, launcing the master of ice with it. "Whoa!" He stood in front of a cave, but stumbled back and fell into it.

"Whoa! Carry on the mission without me!" He yelled to Jay and Kai, as the blue ninja wanted to help him.

"He'll be all right." Kai reassured, "We have to stay on Skylor. She's too important." He added, continuing his way. Jay hesitated but followed the master of fire.

"No where to run. Setting blast to stun!" Chen yelled, and got fired at by the roto jet, before he could catch SKylor. "Someone stop firing at me!" He sees turns his jet around, seeing Cole operating in the Roto Jet. "Take care of him." He ordered Clouse.

"I can't see them." Cole told Garmadon, as the magic user jumped on their jet. "Where did they-Argh!" The master of earth groaned, as Clouse was removing parts of the roto jet.

"Keep her steady. I'll handle this." Garmadon goes outside, leaving Cole steering it.

"Y/n would be usefull now." Cole said to himself, as he tried to keep the jet steady.

"A bit of a breeze up here. I wonder which one of us will stay on their feet longer?" Clouse mocked, holding onto the jet.

Garmadon tilts his head, "How about neither?" He tackles Clouse, both falling into the jungle with trees breaking their fall.

Skylor sees Kai after she made two Cultist vehicles to crash into each other.

"Kai!" She cheered, pulling off her hood.

"That looks fun. Mind if I join you?" He asked, grabbing his own hoverboard. They started making their way out of there, with Kai almost falling. "You okay? Whoa!"

"Faring better than you." She chuckled, and started flying higher as Chen spotted them. "I have an idea." 

"You're reading my mind." 

"Fire!" They both shout, using fire to create smoke.

"Ah, smoke screen!" Chen yelled, coughing. "No fair!" He only sees Kai, making the noodle man sigh. "Oh! Where did she go? Where did she go? Oh, turn around." Chen leaves, and Kai turned back into Skylor. Skylor makes his way down, reuniting with the real Kai and embracing each other.

"I alerted the team we found you and are heading back." Kai told the master of amber, smiling.

"Are we in the clear?"

Kai looked around, "I guess. Hey, this is a pretty cool place by the way."

"You want to play tourist?" The orange ninja raised an eyebrow.

"No, no. You're right. Let's get back to the good guys. They're all waiting for -" A net is thrown on the two, making them both gasp.

"Kapow! Haha, venge-net!" Kapau cheered, with Chope joining. "Let's see you work your powers on that. This is awesome."

Garmadon dodges one of Clouse's attacks.

"You're gonna have to do better than that if you want to get rid of me, Clouse." He huffed, annoyed.

"I have other things up my sleeves." Clouse replied, turning around and making a portal.

"You've opened the cursed realm! Are you mad!?" Garmadon yelled, grabbing onto a branch, trying not to get sucked in.

"You banished the Anacondrai Generals there. It's time you answer to them!" Clouse shouted, not being affected by the wind force trying to suck Garmadon in.

The branch broke, and he holds onto a vein instead. "You coward! Letting dead generals do your dirty work!"

"You grow wiser in your years, Garmadon. There's nothing to save you. Take in your last moments, Lord Garmadon, and know that it was I who defeated you. And I who will take your title. I, Lord Clouse!"

"Never rest on your laurels, because you lower your guard." Garmadon used his vein to grab Clouse's leg.

"You fool! You're...you're pulling us both in!" Clouse screeched.

Garmadon climbed up to Clouse's shoulders, "No, just you." He pushes him in, making the portal close. "I always hated magic." Garmadon sighed, brushing off some dust.

Zugu and Eyezor are being handed to Karlof by Nya and Cole, after they returned to the camp.

"Still no sign of Chen?" Karlof asked, sadness hinting in his eyes.

"He escaped, but we'll find him." Cole reassured.

"Did Zane ever return?" Y/n asked, walking towards the three.

"Metal man? I have not seen him." Karlof replied, still holding Zugu and Eyezor.

Garmadon walked around the corner, "Dad!" Lloyd cheered, running towards him and embracing his father.

After they pulled away, Garmadon looked aroun, "I don't see Skylor or Kai."

"They said they were on their way." Shade told the old man, as he groans and falls over. His tattoo starts glowing.

"Dad, what's wrong?" 

"I don't know." Garmadon panted out, and Lloyd pointed at his tattoo.

"Something inside of me. Something is happening."

""Trayeaux, keelie, neptide"..." Kapau was reading Chen's spell, with Skylor and Kai chained in front of him.

""Eek, mojo," uh..."gloop?"" Kapau spoke, confused.

"Not gloop. Glop! Glop!" Chope corrected, sighing.

"Um, Master, shouldn't Clouse be reading this?" Kapau asked, turning towards Chen.

"It doesn't matter. He's not here. Keep reading."

"Oh, okay. "Trayeaux, keelie, neptide.""

"It's working. It's working! Finish the spell!" Chen shouted, as Kapau fainted.

""Vein, donner, klactu, barnato."" Chope continued, panting.

"Kai, don't look at me." Skylor said, groaning.

"Fight it, Skylor. Fight it!" 

"I...I can't." Skylor panted, as everyone with a Anacondrai tattoo is turned into one.

"Now I am the most powerful warrior to ever rule Ninjago!" Chen laughs, thinking he'd already won.

Garmadon was laying on the ground, groaning."The spell...the spell, it's completed. If everyone with the mark of the Anacondrai is effected, that means..." The elemental masters turn to the captured cultists, who just freed themselves. "Don't worry. I'm always on your side." He reassured Lloyd, who sighed sadly.

"Let's get 'em, guys." Cole said, pulling his hood over his face and running towards the army. Tox made a poison cloud, which made the anacondrai cough. The others start using their powers as well. Y/n made two of them fly, before punching them into the ground.

Cole ran towards the roto jet, where another one was. He tried to punch it, but got blocked. "Ugh. They're too strong!"

"They're too fast!" Turner gasped, trying to hit one.

"And they are too many. Retreat! Get everyone to the palace!" Garmadon shouted, being overpowered.

"Everyone, to the palace!" Y/n yelled, opening the doors of the palace.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!" Karlof repeated, backing away.

Shade was helping Neuro back up, while being surrounded by anacondrai. "Behind you!" Neuro warned the master of shadow, standing up.

Turner ran by and punched another one away, as they make their way into the palace. Cole and Karlof start blocking the door, as Jay gasps loudly.

"Snake among us!" He yelled, scared.

"No, don't! It's my father." Lloyd stopped the blue ninja.

"First it was four arms, then you became a dragon. Would you mind picking a body and sticking with it, please?" Jay asked, scoffing.

"Could use a little help. Argh." Cole grunted, making the other elemental masters help.

"Oh, man. Look at you. You've got a tail! Haha." Chope exclaimed, pointing at Kapau's tail.

"No, look at you! You've got fangs!"

"You know what I'm thinking?" Chope asked, smiling.

"We're gonna need cooler names!" They both exclaim loudly, but scream when Kai throws a fireball at them.

"You're both still ugly. Fire!" He tries to burn Chen, but it didn't effect Skylor's father at all.

"You think a little Fire can hurt the thick hide of an Anacondrai?" Chen laughed, digging into the ground, reappearing in front of Kai and tackling him.

"We must get out of here." Skylor said, offering a hand to the master of fire.

Kai turned his head, not wanting to look at her snake form, but got up anyway. He didn't take her hand, which made Skylor look at him disgusted, but she knows she's not the one for him. 

"Let's do this." He nodded, running out the cave with Skylor slittering close behind.

"Should we, uh, slither after them?" Kapau asked, shrugging.

"Why? They're no longer important. It's time we leave this wretched island." Chen smirked.

The elemental masters are struggling with stopping the anacondrai, all groaning while trying to.

"Does anyone know any knock-knock jokes? 'Cause this ain't funny anymore." Cole grunted, as the anacondrai slash their weapons into the door. Suddenly, the anacondrai stop trying to break in.

"Where did they go?" Nya asked, as the master of earth slowly opens the door.

"Don't! It could be a trick." Jay stopped him, and Cole closed the door. they all climb up a ladder, only to witness them leaving.

"Take care of the island, it's yours. We'll be taking Ninjago now!" Chen exclaimed, firing at the elemental masters, who ducked. He stopped firing and left, leaving the masters.

"This, this is just priceless. He took the Roto Jet and all of the Blade-Copters!" Jay started, ranting.

"What have we done?" Nya muttered, looking at the ground.

"We all have families in Ninjago." Y/n said, following the jets with her eyes.

"Argh! And we had to destroy any other way off the island! Who's idea was that?"

"Wow. Great. This is really helpfull Jay."

"Your father was right, Lloyd. We thought we had the upper hand. Our guard was down and look what happened." Cole told Lloyd, putting a hand on the green ninja's shoulder.

"Nobody listens to me! You all say I overreact, but no!"

"I'll go alone." Lloyd sighed, not looking forwards to it.

"And take on his whole army?" Y/n asked.

"Oh yeah, because he is the 'oh so great green ninja' he has to save everyone in Ninjago."

"I'm the only one with an elemental dragon." The green ninja replied, shrugging.

"Not anymore!" Zane shouted, flying over with a ice dragon.

"And now the nindroid also has a dragon? Pfft. He's probably just programmed to do that."

"Morro, shut up." Y/n whispered, "And what's gotten into you?"

"Someone opened a portal to the cursed realm. And look who just arrived; Clouse."

"He unleashed the Dragon, too!" Karlof exclaimed, looking at Turner.

"I could've escaped if I was fast enough! You could've seen me. I could've-" Morro became hardly audible as Jay started yelling, happy yells, ofcourse.

"Oh, Zane, none of us could do that before. You gotta tell us how you did that!" Jay exclaimed as well, smiling.

"And now I'm stuck here with Clouse!"

"I faced my fear. When I realized it wasn't something in front of me that held me back, but something inside me, I found a deeper power. A Dragon power." Zane said wisely.

"All right!"

"Yeah!" 

Kai and Skylor arrived on Kai's elemental dragon, with Skylor sitting a few inches from Kai away. "Zane's right. We all have this power inside of us. But you have to see that it's not the Anacondrai we're afraid of, it's our doubt. Divided, we failed. But together, we will succeed." Kai said, making everyone cheer.

"Energy!" Lloyd jumped off the brigde, summoning his dragon.

"Lightning!" Jay cheered, jumping off and summoning his dragon as well.

"Earth!"

"Wind!"

"Metal!"

"Speed!"

"Shadow!"

"Light!"

One by one, all the elemental masters summonded their own dragon, each having their respresented colours. 

"Metal Dragon make Karlof very happy, happy."

"The battle of our past has returned, but we will rise to meet that challenge." Garmadon said, sitting behind Lloyd on his dragon.

"Chen brought us here so that only one would remain. Well, we are one!"

"Is there another way to escape this cursed realm!? Clouse get away! Don't touch me! Get away! Help! Oh wait he's gon-"

"You're the one who wants to get rid of the green ninja too, right?" Another voice spoke, making Y/n question a lot of things.

"Wait. What?"

I'm so sorry this took me so long, and I am sorry for the lack of Y/n in this chapter.
