The Resistance

The Resistance is a team that Lloyd and Nya form after the assumed deaths of the rest of the original Ninja (Kai, Jay, Cole, and Zane) and Wu. The team was formed to oppose the newly-resurrected Lord Garmadon, Harumi and the Sons of Garmadon, in a bid to end their tyrannical rule over Ninjago City.

Lloyd and Nya were almost kidnapped by Garmadon's forces, but then the other Elemental Masters who partook in the Tournament of Elements saved them, making good on their promise of helping the Ninja if the need arose.

In retaliation for breaking into Borg Industries, the Sons of Garmadon raid the base and arrest everyone except Lloyd, Nya, Skylor, Dareth, and Mistaké, sending them to Kryptarium Prison. Mistaké was killed by Garmadon while attempting to have Skylor absorb his power.

Origins
After Destiny's Bounty was destroyed by the Colossi, Wu the original Ninja—Cole, Kai, Jay, and Zane—were all presumed deceased. Unbeknownst to their allies, however, they survive and were all transported to the first realm in existence.

Though struck with despair at his loss, Lloyd regrouped with Nya, Misako, and P.I.X.A.L. with the intention of fighting another day. In the meantime, Lord Garmadon's tyrannical rule over Ninjago City strengthened, as Harumi and the Sons of Garmadon maintained their hold on the city.

In response to this, and due to the "loss" of the Ninja, Lloyd went into hiding to train.
