It turned out that she was using some prototype drones to survey the city and trying to find more survivors, because the Cave's scan range was too little. The ninja were happy that P.I.X.A.L. was trying to solve the problems, but they were still kind of down and went to talk to the survivors. When one of them mentioned that he would never give up on Ninjago City, the ninja realized they were looking at the situation the wrong way. They decided to examine Lethandral's escape further, and remembered seeing Lethandral with the Pink Key-tana when they got defeated in the final boss fight. Also, they remembered the Imperial Pedestal connecting to some tanks, which the ninja thought was just a decoration. They came to the conclusion that Lethandral was using the power of the Key-tanas to escape, but were still left with a lot of mysteries. Meanwhile, in the Empire Temple of Madness, Zeuronika had just surveyed the Monastery and wanted to assault the place, capturing the ninja. Lethandral agreed and started planning it. At the Monastery, P.I.X.A.L. had just finished repairing the drones and was ready to launch them. The ninja and Scott had to pilot the drones by remote-controlling them.

They went to check on Master Wu, who said that they must never give up on trying to resist Lethandral's rule. They then decided to go back down to the Samurai X Cave 2.0, and wondered why Lethandral hasn't attacked them yet. P.I.X.A.L. had just finished using the drones to survey the city again and saw that 30 Red Visors and Rat Legion troops were marching up towards the Monastery. The ninja secured the survivors in the Cave, and prepared for battle. Zeuronika and Sushimi lead the troops to the top and readied to break down the doors, but they suddenly burst open and the ninja, Scott, P.I.X.A.L. and Wu came out, immediately taking out a few Red Visors and Rat Legion troops.

When, their only about 18 Red Visors and Rat Legion troops in total left, 2 Red Visor and Rat Trooper Dropships arrived, carrying 15 more Red Visors and Rat Troopers. They continued their fierce battle, where the ninja started to get overpowered. P.I.X.A.L. flew out from the Samurai X Cave 2.0. in her mech, but even with that, the enemies were very strong.

Barely avoiding defeat once again, the ninja have fended off the attack Lethandral has planned. Akaru, the weaponkeeper that the ninja bought their Imperial weapons from, has returned as well. The ninja decide to plan an attack to finally defy and eliminate Lethandral, and find some hope in the ashes of their city.
Detailed episode description: After winning against a huge wave of Red Visors and Rat Troopers, the ninja knew that Lethandral would not attack them in a while. They were also surprised to see Akaru come into Ninjago. Scott asked if he escaped 'Prime Empire', would that mean the other NPCs/Imperialians escaped as well. Akaru confirmed this to be true, and wanted to help the ninja defy the villainous Emperor. He also asked what was the situation in Ninjago City. Wu sadly replied that 95% of the population was captured by Emperor Lethandral. Akaru also requested to fight with the ninja once the Apocalypse was over. P.I.X.A.L. said that the chances of defeating all of the enemies was very slim. Master Wu went with Lloyd to check on the survivors. Scott asked Akaru what happened to the Imperialians. He answered by telling everyone that he was training in the Weapon Trial, when suddenly, a red energy wave swept the entire game. The NPCs and players started de-materializing into red digital-particles. It wasn't long before every Imperialian and gamer had disappeared from the game. They all dropped from the portal above the sky into Ninjago City. The Red Visors and Rat Troopers who were patrolling immediately noticed them and were ordered to captured them. Very few NPCs and gamers escaped while the others were all captured. After hearing that story, the ninja and Scott knew they must rescue the sole survivors. P.I.X.A.L. knew the ninja couldn't use the drones again, and asked Scott if he had anymore of his stealth devices. He said yes, but admitted it wasn't strong enough. P.I.X.A.L. helped him strengthen them, and he and the ninja used it. They went to the outskirts of Ninjago City, thinking they would be there. After finding many survivors, they used jetpacks to fly back to the Monastery. Everyone congratulated them on their rescue mission, and were confident that they could definitely beat Lethandral.
Episode 145/17: Lethandral's Secret[]
While the Ninjago Apocalypse is still ongoing, Emperor Lethandral decides to think about everything related to his past and how he became the villain he was today. 'Prime Empire' might not even be where he came from. Secrets of Lethandral and his origins will be revealed in this flashback episode.
Detailed episode description: After the fragment of the Digital Overlord's code was purged out of Zane, it was not truly cleared. It escaped into the ninja's main computer system, finding out everything about the ninja. When it reached the arcade machines, the code started thinking of a plan to defeat the ninja once and for all. That plan included video-games, and most of the ninja's video-games were from one Legendary Games. The virus code then traveled across the network system, thinking to itself that it would always defeat the ninja and darkness beating light. It reached the data center of Legendary Games, and went through every single file. The code didn't find anything interesting, but still resided there for many years. When Legendary Games announced another video-game coming out, the Digital Overlord virus knew that was his chance. After the game was released and named 'Prime Empire', the fragment code waited for a while, then executed its plan. It sneaked into the game and started searching for opportunities. When it figured out the best way to control the game was to take over the final boss, it executed the second part of the plan. It took over the A.I. code of the boss and started to create an energy that would help the Digital Overlord take over Ninjago. After many days and weeks of preparing, the fragment code was ready to execute the third, most important and final part of the virus' master plan. It infused the energy inside almost everything: his staff, his dragon, the Red Visors, the Rat Troopers, the Key-tanas, bosses and NPCs. It was time to finish everything. The Digital Overlord fragment ignited the energy, caused a mega energy wave to appear, and crashed the game. After two years, the code was pleased to see that its plan had worked, and started to leave behind his identity as Emperor Lethandral. Back in Ninjago, the Empire Dragon went to Lethandral's side, to which the Emperor smiled an evil smirk.
Episode 146/18: Forbidden Elements[]
The ninja have fought off many assaults on the Monastery of Spinjitzu from the Red Visors and Rat Legion. When Master Wu remembers about the long, forgotten Forbidden Elements, the ninja have discovered a way to defeat Lethandral once and for all. The first ninja to unlock them might be a little shocked...
Detailed episode description: The ninja had just beaten a mini attack on the Monastery for exactly the fifth time by the Red Visors ad Rat Troopers. Master Wu told the ninja they must be extremely vigilant for surprise attacks like the one they just fought. The ninja responded by saying that's what they've been doing. Scott said he knew they were going to plan an assault on Lethandral to 'pay back the favor', but explained that they were going to need an actual plan. P.I.X.A.L. said she was working on the plan of attack, and unfortunately needed more time. The ninja asked Master Wu what tricks he had up his sleeve. He responded by saying that he could look through the books and scrolls that the FSM had left behind. The ninja and Master Wu went to the Monastery Library, leaving P.I.X.A.L. and Scott to secure the Monastery even more. The ninja and Wu kept searching and searching for things that they could help them turn the tide of the current situation, but the most interesting things were: the Art of Animal Changing, the Screeching Solution and the Foreshadowing of Battles. Both the ninja and Wu were pretty tired and went to rest. The next day, everyone woke up and decided to survey the city and check for any attacks. Wu suddenly remembered about something called the Forbidden Elements. The ninja and Scott asked how powerful and useful it would be, and Master Wu replied that with that power, they could take on an army just with a few people. The ninja all knew this was exactly what they needed. When Kai asked how they could have Forbidden Elements, Wu said they must reach extreme levels of ninja training, do heroic acts and call on it only when absolutely necessary. The ninja started training immediately, and recalling all of the times they saved Ninjago by defeating a major villain. They trained day and night, trying to unlock Forbidden Elemental powers, and knew they would never give up on their city.
Episode 147/19: The New Resistance[]
After many tries to unlock the Forbidden Elements, the ninja have grown tired of secretly training in a secluded Monastery of Spinjitzu. But when P.I.X.A.L. discovers Lethandral's plan to transform New Ninjago City into his own empire, the ninja must find a way to stop him and, just maybe, build the new Apocalypse Resistance.
Detailed episode description: The episode begins with the ninja complaining to Master Wu. When he asked what the ninja were unhappy about, they answered by saying that they had already been training for nearly two weeks, yet they still haven't unlocked the Forbidden Elemental powers. Master Wu said they weren't training hard enough, as they only wanted to unlock the powers but not experience the actual process. The ninja wanted to rest for a while, so they checked on Akaru and Scott. Scott asked how was the training going on, and Cole replied that it was not good. Akaru also wanted to know the progress of the plan to attack Lethandral's Temple, to which Jay said it was useless without unlocking the Forbidden Elemental powers. Suddenly, the ninja received a message from P.I.X.A.L. saying that there was something extremely urgent and they needed to check it out. They rushed to the Samurai X Cave 2.0 main computer and P.I.X.A.L. told the ninja that she had just finished scouting the city again with the drones and found out something important and dangerous. It turned out that Lethandral was going to transform New Ninjago City into his own, personal empire. She also said that he needed the ninja, Key-tanas and an Imperialian. The ninja started to freak out about the situation, but Master Wu came over and said the ninja must keep calm and figure out a solution. Lloyd thought about the former reign of his evil father before and his time in the Never-Realm. The ninja eventually came up with the idea to build the all-new, third generation of the Resistance. Lloyd gathered every survivor and NPC, told them about their plan and soon, the Apocalypse Resistance was formed. Zane and Nya asked Akaru to be their new weaponsmith and forge the new Resistance's armor and weapons. With Kai's help, the new Apocalypse Resistance were ready to take on Lethandral's armies and save Ninjago City.

Detailed episode description: After the ninja finished officially built the Apocalypse Resistance, they knew could take on most of Lethandral's armies. Zane and P.I.X.A.L. came up with a plan to take over a tiny part of Ninjago City to secure their success on defeating Lethandral. They sorted the Resistance into four divisions: the Gatekeeper Squadron, Defence Battalion, Recon Fighters and Assault Warriors. Once everyone was clear on the plan, the gatekeeper squadron and drones marked out the perimeter of their territory and expanding the forcefield. Then, the defence battalion and recon fighters sneakily made their way into the city and took over many buildings and fortifying them. Finally, the assault warriors and ninja went to the city as well and readied for battle. The recon fighters found a Rat Legion patrol coming their way and the ninja waited for them. A Rat Trooper on the Rat Legion Battle Tank noticed the recon fighters, and the ninja immediately jumped into battle. They quickly defeated the Rat Troopers, but not before one called for backup. The patrol leader started battling the ninja, but the assault warriors went and took him out. Two Red Visor Scout Speeders arrived in a split second and attacked. The recon fighters also joined in the fight and kept the fight under control. Most of them were NPCs and were programmed to fight well. After a long while, the ninja and the Apocalypse Resistance won the battle, with the Red Visors retreating. They congratulated themselves on their small victory before making sure their were no more patrols coming their way. The ninja explained to the Apocalypse Resistance that everyone should do exactly the same when more battles like that happened again. At the Empire Temple of Madness, Zeuronika rushed to the throne room and reported to Lethandral. He ordered at once more patrols and firepower to make sure the ninja's fighting chance and spirit was destroyed completely.

P.I.X.A.L. went into the battlefield in her Samurai X mech and assisted the ninja. Multiple Red Visor Transport and Rat legion Dropships arrived, carrying more soldiers. Fortunately for the good guys, different divisions of the Apocalypse Resistance used different ways to combat the enemies and eventually won the intense fight. Scott asked Zane how good or bad the situation was in the entire city. He replied that it wasn't good as there were three times more patrols and many parts where being taken over by the armies. Additionally, he and P.I.X.A.L. found out from using the drones that Lethandral's transformation was nearly 50% complete. Scott rushed to the other ninja and told them everything. When he finished, the ninja were shocked and decided they must immediately assault the mega Empire Temple of Madness. They explained their plan to the Resistance and soon, everyone was ready to take on Lethandral. Everyone made their way to the center of the city by air and quickly arrived. The guards and hostile drones noticed them and battled. Luckily, the ninja took them out and made their way into the temple. Many squadrons of soldiers were sent to destroy the Resistance. After many intense fights, the ninja successfully navigated their way through the temple and arrived before the throne room.

A Red Visor told Lethandral that there were only five ninja instead of six. The Emperor screamed in rage and asked angrily which one was missing. A Rat Trooper told Lethandral the blue one did. He sat down on his throne, thinking about what to do next. He ordered the Rat Troopers who were here put the prisoners into the prison and the current army patrols to search the city. The Key-tanas and five ninja powered up the transformation machine very well, but it was missing one ninja, and he had 'ninjaly' escaped. Somewhere past the Mountain of a Million Steps, the lightning ninja Jay was running away from the soon-to-be Primejago Empire. He used lighting to fly up to scout the city, then fell down. He was scared and didn't know where to go, but he knew Lethandral's armies were going to lock down the Monastery soon. So, he sneaked in to Samurai X Cave 2.0, grabbed his old Desert Lightning bike with a few essentials and drove away. He decided to the Birchwood Forest to lay low for a bit and come up with a plan there. After powering up his bike many times and driving for a very long way, Jay finally arrived at the Birchwood Forest. He used the 'Minecrafter Way' and set up camp while making a few necessary tools, also setting up a campfire. After a lot of working, he went to sleep.

Lethandral screamed in rage, and immediately ordered every single Red Visor and Rat Trooper to find the ninja. In the Birchwood Forest, Jay was still thinking of where to go, when he suddenly thought of Garmadon's old Monastery. He packed his things, powered up his bike, and went off to the place. After a long while of driving, he finally arrived at his destination. He parked his bike and went inside. It was very quiet, but suddenly, he found Garmadon sitting down. He looked behind and saw Jay, then asked what he was here for. Jay quickly told the story of him and the ninja journeying through 'Prime Empire', Lethandral escaping and the Ninjago Apocalypse.

They began their epic battle and Jay easily overpowered tens of soldiers with just one bolt of lightning. P.I.X.A.L. called in her Samurai X mech and battled the other mech suits of the Red Visor and Rat Legion armies. Scott used his gadgets to disable to flying Lethandral drones which were shooting red lasers continuously. Also, the Apocalypse Resistance were doing pretty good against the enemy soldiers, because of their weapons and spirits. Unfortunately for the ninja, Lethandral called upon many Red Visor and Rat Legion vehicles, and his personal, intimidating Empire Dragon. The ninja knew they needed to get back the Key-tanas and destroy the transformation machine first. Lethandral soon joined in battle and overpowered many Apocalypse Resistance members. He also used the powers of his dangerous staff to weaken many good guys. The ninja, Akaru and Scott took out many Red Visors and Rat Troopers, but they just kept coming. Lethandral charged up his staff and released a humongous energy blast. Most members of the Apocalypse Resistance were downed and only the ninja, Akaru, Master Wu, Scott and P.I.X.A.L. were still at full fighting force. Lethandral laughed bionically and revealed his true identity to be - the Overlord. Everyone was in shock, and Lethandral stopped to battle momentarily to tell everyone the story of how he transformed from a dangerous digital virus in Zane to the powerful video-game boss escaped from a digital prison once more. He also then pointed out the transformation was nearly complete and there was no point fighting him. Some Resistance members recovered and the ninja continued their fight to destroy the transformation machine. Jay went straight to Lethandral and battled him head on. Since Jay's mastery of Forbidden Lighting was still kind of new, Lethandral got many good hits on him. While he was distracted fighting Jay, the ninja sneaked over to the Imperial Pedestal and tried to pull the Key-tanas out, but Sushimi blocked their way. They fought and defeated him, and pulled two out before Lethndral noticed them. He got hold of the ninja and prepared to destroy them, but the sudden arrival of the other elemental masters distracted Lethandral long enough for Jay to give him the final bow.

As the ninja overlooked their city, they knew that they would be able to face anything in the future
