Plot Summary
After the Overlord was defeated by Lloyd, Ninjago City was in complete ruins. However, a man named Cyrus Borg believed that if they worked together, they could achieve anything. In a matter of weeks, Ninjago had been rebuilt into a futuristic metropolis called New Ninjago City.

Without an enemy to fight, the ninja became teachers at Wu's Academy. One day, they received clearance for a field trip to Borg Industries. But upon their arrival, they learn that the Overlord survived the final battle and is trapped in the Digiverse as a virus. Cyrus Borg realizes this and gives the ninja the Techno Blades, which are the keys to destroy the Overlord.

The Overlord uses P.I.X.A.L. (an android who works at Borg Industries) to create an army of Nindroids from Zane's blueprints and plans to capture Lloyd, as his Golden Power will help him escape the digital realm. The hard drive containing the Overlord is later stolen by Pythor, revealed to have survived being eaten by the Great Devourer.

He captures Lloyd, and the Overlord drains him of most of his Golden Power. Though the ninja defeat him in the Digiverse, the Overlord escapes the digital realm half-formed. Lloyd then splits his remaining Golden Power among the four ninja, therefore, restoring their Elemental abilities, knowing that the power would be a big responsibility for him to bear alone.

The Overlord, needing to complete his transformation, sends the Nindroids to space to retrieve the Golden Weapons from the constellation Arcturus, which they succeed in doing. The Overlord becomes the Golden Master, fulfilling an old Serpentine prophecy, and wreaks havoc on New Ninjago City. With no other option, Zane sacrifices himself to destroy the Golden Master. However, he survives, trapped in the Digiverse, and rebuilds himself using titanium.

Continuity

 * Zane is referred to as the "titanium ninja" in the finale episode, which would become his title in Season 4 instead of the white ninja.
 * Zane and P.I.X.A.L. are last seen in Borg Labs after Zane rebuilds himself. The two of them will be abducted by Ronin and brought to Master Chen's Island shortly afterward.
 * The name "Arcturus" is mentioned in this season, belonging to a constellation named after a Serpentine general during the Serpentine War. It is revealed in Season 4 that that general led the Anacondrai army but was banished to the Cursed Realm for his crimes.
 * The Ninja are now each able to use their Elemental Power without the use of a weapon thanks to Lloyd giving up his Golden Power. Previously their powers were tied to Lloyd and the Golden Weapons.
 * It is implied that Zane's father, Dr. Julien, passed away off-screen.
