Whereas Lloyd was once hopeful about leading a resistance, he's now filled with doubt, reeling from the loss of the Ninja and the loss of his elemental power. But they soon get a glimmer of hope when they not only find evidence to suggest the Ninja are still alive, but they're rescued by a group of Elemental Masters from their past. Meanwhile, Mystake's 'Traveler's Tea' has marooned Young Wu and the Four Ninja in the Realm of Oni & Dragon with no way to return home.
