Aria Lord is the precious only child of Empress Layla of Ninjago. The princess has everything, born with beautiful looks and riches, she was given everything she wants. Aria was engaged to her childhood friend Lloyd Garmadon, while time pushed them...
Atop the Crystal Island, Lloyd and Garmadon fight the Overlord.
"Stop him! Don't let him reach the crystal!" Lloyd shouts
The Overlord strikes Garmadon down.
"Father!" Lloyd saves him from being crushed by a crystal and holds him in his arms "You're hurt."
Garmadon gasps "I — I can't ..."
"It's okay." Lloyd says "Don't try to talk."
Garmadon reverts to his normal form "I.. I'm sorry, Lloyd."
"Hold on. You'll be okay." Lloyd looks around "I'll get you out of here!"
"Save.." Garmadon coughs "Save yourself. It's too late for me."
"No" Lloyd cries
"Grieve not." The Overlord approaches them "You will soon be joining him."
Lloyd achieves his Oni Form in anger and attacks the Overlord, but stops when he sees his reflection.
"No!" Lloyd reverts to his human form.
"Fool!" the Overlord blasts Lloyd off the temple.
As Lloyd falls a gold light appears below him, a Gold Dragon forms and catches him.
"What?!" Lloyd looks happy and shocked
The Dragon flies him back up.
"Impossible!" the Overlord shouts
The dragon lands, as Lloyd jumps off the dragon transforms into Aria, in a new form, a gold form.

"My own daughter!" the Overlord growls "An Oni of creation!"
"Aria!" Lloyd hugs her tightly "I thought we lost you."
"You could never loose me." Aria takes both his hands "I love you."
"I love you too." Lloyd replies with a smile
"You're a disgrace!" the Overlord shouts
"No dad," Aria turns to him, still holding onto Lloyd's hand "I am me."
Lloyd and Aria look at each other as their energies combine and overtake the Overlord. The Overlord shouts as he and his crystals begin to shatter. All over the city, the crystals break off as the Overlord is defeated.
"Are you ok?" Aria asks Lloyd
"Fine now that you're here." Lloyd responds placing his forehead against hers
"Alright love birds, break it up." Garmadon stands beside them "Let's get out of here before the place explodes."
Lloyd looks at him "You—"
"What?" Garmadon asks
"You're not dying?" Lloyd questions
"Of course not." Garmadon replies
"You were faking?!" Lloyd shouts annoyed
"I was helping you achieve your Oni Form!" Garmadon argues
"I didn't need Oni Form! It didn't even work!" Lloyd shouts
"It would have, if you hadn't been scared by your own reflection!" Garmadon rolls his eyes
"Alright you two," Aria separates them "let's get going."
Aria turns back into a dragon amd carries the three to safety as the temple collapses. The temple explodes, and everyone cheers. Back on the ground everyone stood together.
"How?" Nya looks confused
"Hmm." Wu looks up to see the Golden Dragon "Is that —?"
"Where did he get a dragon?" Cole questions
The dragon lands, Lloyd and Garmadon jumps off.
"Lloyd!" Jay hugs Lloyd
The ninja look at the dragon.
"So, what is that?" Kai asks
The ninja approach the dragon, which begins to glow.
"What's happening?" Zane questions
The dragon turns into Aria who smiles at them "Hey guys."
"My baby!" Layla pushes her way through the crowd to hug her
"Sissy!" Zero runs up to join the hug
Aria looks around to her her knights all standing around with the citizens, all smiling happily, some crying to see their Empress alive. Kaname was looking annoyed at Hanabusa, who was sobbing hysterically.
"Did I.. miss much?" Aria asks
"A lot." Zero replies with a smile "Empress."
Aria looks at Lloyd who smiles to her before shrugging.
"So, what do we do now?" Cole asks
"What we always do." Wu looks at him "Rebuild."
-
At the Monastery, the ninja attempt to lift the broken door.
"A little more!" Kai calls out
"It's slipping!" Lloyd shouts
"Oh, no!" Cole pulls harder
Jay and Nya rush to help, and they succeed.
"That's a start." Kai says looking around
"At this pace, it will require 12 years, 8 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days to rebuild the monastery." Zane tells them
"Thanks for the pep talk, Zane. You always know what to say." Kai says sarcastically
Dareth arrives behind them, panting heavily "Wow... that's... a lot of steps. You guys should consider... putting in an elevator!"
The ninja all look at him confused.
"Dareth? What are you doing here?" Kai asks
"I figured you could use some help, so I, heh, brought a few friends." Dareth replies with a smile
The ninja look surprised as members of the Resistance enter the monastery to help rebuild. Soon enough Aria, Hanabusa, and Kaname appear at the end.
"Aria!" Lloyd rushes up to her "What are you doing here? What about the palace?"
"The palace can wait." Aria replies with a smile "Who needs to waste time on all that glitter and gold, it's just for show anyway. Our heroes are more important."
Wu looks around at all the people "Remarkable. Simply remarkable."
"I love you, did you know that?" Lloyd takes Aria's hand
"Yeah, but did you know," Aria leans into him "I love you too."
