Ultra Violet enacts the Postman's capture on Ultra Hunt "The Mailman doesn't deliver, so find him, and return to sender! Today's jackpot could be yours" she laughs

"Every day, pick off our friends. Pick, pick, pick" Karlof complains

"Ugh. As long as it's not me." Dareth says

Lloyd walks over to see what Nya's building "Looks bigger than your other builds. What are you making?"

"Since we're outnumbered, we're upping the armor and firepower. Thanks to some feedback from Skylor, I feel like it's really taking shape" Nya tells him

"But it's so bulky. We'll be sitting ducks in that" Lloyd says

Skylor shrugs "It's a work in progress. She'll be ready"

"Karlof? Do you think I can get your help with Lloyd's training?" Mistaké asks

"Ooh, it would be my pleasure" Karlof replies

"Go easy on me. I'm powerless" Lloyd says

"Uh, actually, it won't be you who will be facing Karlof, but Dareth" Mistaké tells him

"Heh, me? I mean...uh, all right. Hey, heh. About time" Dareth says nervously

"But he isn't an Elemental Master" Lloyd argues

"Neither are you. Power takes many forms beyond what is physical. The power of persuasion. The power of numbers. The power to lead" Mistaké lectures

"Don't forget power of Metal" Karlof adds

"Oh, boy. You're gonna be a tough nut to crack" Dareth says as he and Karlof get ready to fight

Dareth looks at Mistaké

"Don't look at me" she says

Misako looks at Lloyd "Lead him, son"

"You can do this, Dareth" Lloyd encourages

"With the power of brown, you're about to go down. Brown Bear" Dareth growls "Spiky Penguin" he imitates a penguin but Karlof punches him.

Lloyd sighs "Lucky punch. Come on, shake it off. He's bigger, so use your speed"

Dareth jumps up "Speed. Like a Cheetah. Dareth, the nimble. Dareth, be quick. Dareth jumped over the—" Karlof punches him again.

"Lead" Mistaké instructs

"Ninja never quit. Get up" Lloyd instructs

Dareth gets up but Karlof chases him. "Aah! Fish! Slippery like a fish!" Dareth jumps onto a pole "I-I'm sorry, Lloyd, I—Oh, I let you down"

"I can't fight everyone's fights" Lloyd says

"I'm sorry. I couldn't hear that" Mistaké smiles

Lloyd sighs "I said I can't fight everyone's—"

"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink," Reika tells him

Lloyd looks up in realization "How do I lead the Resistance?"

"By finding your voice. The more you inspire, the more others will inspire you. And you better find your voice soon, because today, you will be taking back the airwaves" Mistaké says

"Airwaves?" Lloyd questions

"The people of Ninjago think you're gone" Mistaké turns the TV off "Show them you are not"

In the Realm of Oni and Dragons, Cole and Wu remain disguised as they join Baron and his Hunters as they head off to capture a dragon with the captured ninja on board. Aria stayed hidden not far behind them, not wanting to put up with Cole's idea of a disguise much longer.

"Gas up the Dieselnaut, Muzzle." Iron Baron commands as muzzle mumbles. "Quit your jibber-jabbering. Stop looking at me that way, Arkade! You can fly by yourself in that getup, Jet Jack. Chew Toy, is that what you're wearing?"

"Ah, he's always in a mood before a hunt, worried that today might be the day he comes across Firstbourne." Heavy Metal says as the trio climb onto a vehicle.

"What do you think you're doing?" Daddy No Legs asks them

"Uh, we've been asked to lend a hand." Cole tells him

"Didn't I hear you two are from the Dangerbuff clan?" Daddy No Legs asks "I refuse to hunt with either of you, because no Dangerbuff I know can shoot a hole in the ground."

"Then stay at home, tinsel toes, 'cause the boss says they need all the hands he can get." Wu glares at him "And legs." Daddy No Legs grumbles and leaves them.

"To the hunt!" Iron Baron shouts "To the hunt!"

The group takes off as Aria follows behind them in her half form, being careful to stay hidden. In Ninjago, Lloyd, Reika, Skylor, Shade, Paleman, Neuro, and Griffin Turner use their skills and powers to raid Borg Tower, from where they'll hack the airwaves. After Skylor's powers averted an encounter with Lord Garmadon, the Elemental Masters arrive at Ultra Violet's set.

Ultra Violet is yelling at her crew "So what? You help us catch everyone else, but no one knows where the Mailman is? He's just a postal worker, why have we not caught him, people?!"

The Resistance breaks in and attacks everyone.

Lloyd smirks "Sorry, UV, but your show has just been canceled"

Paleman grabs her before she could attack him. They tie her and her crew up.

"Once you go live it'll only be a matter of time before they know we're here. Are you ready?" Reika asks as she hacks into the computers

"Yeah" Lloyd says

Skylor takes the camera "Then we're live in five, four, three, two..."

Lloyd looks at the camera "Hello, Ninjago. It's me. Lloyd Garmadon. The Green Ninja. Lord Garmadon wants you to be afraid, but I need you to be brave. With the help of Princess Harumi, Lord Garmadon struck a major blow against Ninjago City. We are ready to strike back. There is a resistance. And we may be small, but we are power—"

Harumi displays a video of Lloyd's defeat on a screen in the room, causing Lloyd to hesitate

"—p-powerful... I may not have Elemental Power, but I call upon the power of the people. When we get knocked down, we rise up. Stronger than before. This is our city. He thinks he can bully us with stone giants. Well this isn't the first time our city has faced ruin. Buildings fall, but we rise! And to you, Father, I say this: fighting me may make you feel powerful, but you're about to see what real power is. The Resistance never quits!"

Killow finally breaks the door down, but they already left

Lloyd's recording continues playing "The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits. The Resistance never quits"

Meanwhile, in the first realm, the Hunters tie the ninja on a post. Aria sat on a tree far away from the camp watching over the ninja back in her human form. The hunters turn on a device and the ninja's elemental powers are activated by force.

"An elemental reaction," Aria says as she observed "they're using them as bait for the dragons."

"Firstbourne is the mother of all Dragons."

Aria listened into the conversation.

"The most powerful in the realm. No one's ever seen it entirely, but it is said to possess every Element of her beloved spawn. The one prize that's always eluded Iron Baron."

"The mother of all dragons huh," Aria leaned back against the tree "wait.." she turned and looked back at the camp "that means.. she's my grandmother?"

Aria's thoughts were stopped by the loud sound of a roar, a dragon.

"Dragon! Don't just stand there, Dangerbuff! Man the turret!"

Aria jumped down from her tree and got closer to the camp. 

"A Wind Dragon!"

"No," Aria mutters "run away."

"Take a shot, Dangerbuff! What are you waiting for?"

Cole uses the chains on the ninja, freeing them "Oh, no. My mistake."

 "Should've known to never trust a Dangerbuff. Get out of there!"

The Hunters shoot the chains and it wraps around the dragon. The dragon roars and Aria puts her hand over her head "Help me"  Aria opens her eyes revealing her dragon eyes. The hunters laugh as they pull the dragon down and it roars again, this time in pain and terror.

Suddenly the hunters stop when they hear another, much louder, roar. The Hunters all turn frightened to see a large black dragon, the ninja's eyes widen as they look in it's dark purple eyes.

"Aria!" they all shout

"Aria don't!" Kai shouts

Aria snaps at the chains breaking the wind dragon free. It flies up and sends the hunters all to the ground with it's mighty wind gusts.

"It's Leviathan!" Heavy Metal shouts before getting to his feet and running away.

"He's returned," the Iron Baron stares at Aria, his eyes widened with terror.

The wind dragon motions to Aria as it quickly takes off into the sky.

"Get it!" the Iron Baron shouts as he gets to his feet "Don't let him escape!"

"Run Aria!" Jay shouts from their prison

"Fly away now!" Zane shouts

"Shoot it Dangerbuff! Don't miss this time!"

Cole looks at Aria trying to shoo her away.

"Go!" Wu motions to her

Aria roars before quickly taking off after the wind dragon. Cole sighs as he looks at the ninja.

"You let him get away!" the Iron Baron shouts at Cole, who looks back at him.

"Let who get away?" Cole questions as the ninja look at the Baron anxiously "I don't understand who that was?"

"The Obsidian Leviathan!" the Iron Baron replies grabbing onto Cole's collar angrily "Only the scariest beast to walk this very earth, Firstborne's all mighty first born!"

The ninja looked shocked as they looked at each other.

"He doesn't mean.." Zane began

Kai nods "Aria's father, the Overlord."
