The Final Battle, also referred to as the Ultimate Battle,[1] is an event that happened some time after the attack of the Great Devourer; as its name says, it was prophesied to be the final battle between good and evil.
The final battle started from the Stone Wars. However, it was never completed until Lloyd defeated the Overlord. Although, the Celestial Clock, a clock that counted down the hours until the end of the Final Battle, had stopped ticking, until Garmadon took the Helmet of Shadows from the Celestial Clock's perch.
History[]
Prelude[]
After Garmadon read Captain Soto's journal and discovered the existence of the Dark Island which had resources that could help Garmadon take over Ninjago, he attempted to take a Rattlecopter to find it, but after hours of looking, Skales knocked Garmadon off the copter and into the water. Garmadon woke up on the shores of the Dark Island where he was greeted by the spirit of the Overlord, who tested him by making him climb a mountain and activate the Dark Island.
After this, the Overlord made Garmadon take the Helmet of Shadows so he could control the Stone Army. During this time, the Serpentine led by Skales had been trapped in an underground tomb while trying to defeat the Stone Army who had awakened from a deep slumber. When the Stone Army began attacking Ninjago City, the ninja brought all the people to the NGTV news building's rooftop so that Nya could land the Bounty and get everyone to safety. Afterwards, the ninja departed to the Dark Island after Misako told them about the Temple of Light which could give the four ninja Elemental Powers to defeat the Stone Army. After arriving on the Dark Island and traveling to the Temple of Light, Lloyd gained the power of the Golden Dragon. The ninja are informed by Misako that by returning the Helmet of Shadows to its perch, they could stop the Celestial Clock, which would stop The Final Battle. After retrieving the helmet and placing it on its perch, the ninja found that they were too late to stop the countdown. The Stone Army took Nya and used Dark Matter to turn her evil. After Garmatron was finished, Garmadon used it to fire on Jamanakai Village and Ignacia, which upset the balance, allowing the Overlord to cross into the world of Ninjago into Garmadon's body.
Battle in Ninjago City[]
After the Overlord injured Lloyd during a battle, he and his followers went through a vortex to Ninjago City, leaving the ninja behind. As Dr. Julien fixed Lloyd's leg, the Falcon appeared, wanting to show the ninja something. Following the Falcon, they found the Golden Mech in the Temple of Light. As Lloyd mounted the Golden Mech and the Ultra Dragon returned to pick up the rest of the ninja, all of them headed to Ninjago City to face the Overlord once more. Upon their arrival, they discovered that Garmatron had been turned into an impenetrable fortress, the Overlord had finished his metamorphosis into his original form, and everything had been turned into Darkness except for Dareth, who was delighted upon their return. The ninja attempted to distract the Stone Army to allow Lloyd to use the Golden Mech against the Overlord. However, Nya had mounted a Dark Matter cannon, allowing her to cripple the Golden Mech. As the ninja made their final stand, Dareth found the Helmet of Shadows, taking control of the Stone Army and saving the ninja. He sent the army to ascend the tower, but Nya destroyed them with her cannon. As the ninja climbed the staircase, the Overlord used Darkness to corrupt Cole and Jay, as well as Zane while he held them back. Kai fought his sister to give Lloyd a chance to climb to the peak. Finally, Lloyd faced the Overlord and unlocked his Golden Power, allowing him to summon the Golden Dragon and defeat the Overlord, ending The Final Battle.

Trivia[]
- Some time after this battle Dr. Julien passed away, but his work inspired Cyrus Borg to create New Ninjago City.[2]
- After this battle, all the ninja (with the exception of Lloyd) became teachers at Wu's Academy.[2]
- In Rebooted (specifically, "The Surge", "The Art of the Silent Fist", and "Enter the Digiverse"), this battle is only referred to "the Ultimate Battle", never "the Final Battle." This may be because the return of the series meant the battle wasn't, in fact, the final battle, so it was renamed "the Ultimate Battle" as a broader term.
