At the base the Resistance celebrate Lloyd's speech.

"To the Resistance! May it never quit!" Karlof shouts

"The Resistance never quits!" The others repeat

Dareth sighs "Boy. Must've been awesome to be there. I wish I could've—"

"it was great! We couldn't have planned it better!" Nya says excitedly

"I'll toast to that!" Paleman shouts

Skylor smiles "But hats off to Lloyd. Without his words, and his leadership, let's just say hope is a powerful thing"

"This is just the start. I couldn't have done it without your power and your help. We have to show we're more than words. Now we fight. And I'm not gonna lie to you. We need an army. Has anyone heard from the Master of Form?" Lloyd asks

"I think, uh, how do you say...She is "bad girl" now" Karlof tells him

"What about Bolobo?" Nya asks

"Ultra Violet hunted down the Master of Nature early on" Skylor replies

Dareth smiles "Ah! Maybe it's time the Brown Ninja—"

"What about the Serpentine?" Lloyd asks

"After seeing how the Time Twins abused those snakes, they say they wanna sit this one out" Griffin replies

"Okay. Let's start brainstorming a list on who else can help" Lloyd instructs

"I can help" Dareth says

Lloyd looks at him "That would be great. Can you get us a blackboard and some refills? This could take some time"

Dareth sighed "Yeah, okay, right, sure. I'll get over—Yeah. Sure, office supplies."

Crying echoed the halls of the palace. It was December 25th, maids ran around the castle and finally an announcement was made.

"The princess was born!"

The citizen's of the shadowland's cheered and celebrated the princess's birth. Inside the castle the Overlord and Garmadon stood next to their wives and watched the two newborn babies reach out to each other.

"Look they're already bonding" Misako says happily "But.."

The two women stare at Aria, who was born with horns.

"It will go away." Layla tells her "All Oni's are born with horns.. well.." she looks at Lloyd "Pureblooded at least."

"Garmadon, if anything ever happens to me or my wife I hope you and Misako make sure our little princess is taken care of" Svern says

"Of course, even without elemental powers i'm sure Lloyd will protect her as well" Garmadon agrees

Svern looks at Lloyd "right"

"One day Wu might try to destroy you, your human form" Garmadon says

Svern nods "I know"

"Oh Misako the rings are being made" Layla says

"They're being made of gold and a secret gem, it's to symbolize light and darkness" Svern explains

"why a secret gem?" Garmadon questions

"because it's the best kind" Svern replies

"We better get going, we'll see you soon" Misako says picking up Lloyd

He and Aria both started crying

"aw it looks like they don't want to leave each other" Layla says picking up Aria

"they're connected by a special bond" Svern says sadly "that can't be broken"
