Citizens in Ninjago City walk around on the streets. A couple of them are seen on their mobile devices. Clutch Powers grabs a teapot and goes to an alley, then light suddenly shines where he stood. Gayle Gossip walks in front of Laughy's, and Dareth follows her as soon as he sees her. Jake plays a video game on his mobile device in a car. A man smells ramen noodles at a food stand. Lil' Nelson and Antonia fist bump after delivering newspapers. Meanwhile, The Mechanic drives his Noodle Truck to the Warehouse of Curses.
The Ninja and The Mechanic's crew.
Cole drives his Rock Cycle, and Kai drives Lloyd, Jay, Nya, and Zane on his Katana 4x4. They pursue The Mechanic on the streets, but he pushes the Katana 4x4 onto a building, which causes it to lose control and stay behind. Cole remains on The Mechanic's tail, sticking a cable to his truck and tying it to a pole, which ultimately causes the truck to malfunction. As soon as The Mechanic gets out of his Noodle Truck, the Ninja surround him. Jay takes the motherboard from The Mechanic, but is interested by the Prime Empire logo.
The Police Commissioner sends The Mechanic away, and thanks the Ninja for their help. Jay continues to examine the disc. He wants to tell the Police Commissioner about it, but he is interrupted as soon as the police are informed of another emergency and leave. The Ninja decide to go examine The Mechanic's Headquarters.
Jay opens the door, peeking to be sure there was no danger. The Mechanic's former arm falls on Lloyd, who is frightened. As soon as Jay sees an Arcade Pod, he tells the Ninja all about Prime Empire, though they do not feel as excited. Jay plugs the Arcade Pod to an outlet to show them the game, but it still does not work. Instead of watching Jay make the Arcade Pod turn on, they decide to leave him and go investigate the rest of The Mechanic's Headquarters.
Walking through a hallway, Cole is captivated by The Mechanic's hats.
All of the games replaced with Prime Empire.
Kai sees notes with drawn Prime Empire logos on The Mechanic's bulletin board, and Lloyd finds a notebook which also has drawn Prime Empire logos. A monitor boots up behind some books, so Zane pushes them aside to see it. the monitor questions the Ninja if they found the motherboard, and Zane responds typing in the keyboard. The monitor replies back, saying that Unagami is pleased and to activate the game, then turns itself off. Lloyd questions who Unagami is.
Jay enters Prime Empire.
In the rest of Ninjago City, Prime Empire begins to boot up on more and more Arcade Pods.
