Plot[]
Part 1[]
Amaya, Greg and Connor visit the museum. Greg claims to love the place so much, he can locate all the exhibits with his eyes closed. Amaya and Connor take him up to the challenge, and Greg indeed correctly identifies each room. When they get to the dragon gong however, it turns out to be gone. They suspect Night Ninja took it, and decide to investigate.
That night, the three heroes meet up in HQ, and see Night Ninja and his Ninajalinos taking the dragon gong to Mystery Mountain. They use the PJ Rovers to follow the villains there. Once the PJ Masks arrive at Mystery Mountain, clouds form in the sky and it begins to thunder. They try to follow Night Ninja up the mountain, when suddenly some large boulders come falling down, blocking the path and forcing the PJ Masks to continue on foot. Then geysers of red Sticky Splat erupt, and it's only thanks to Owlette that the PJ Masks escape. Something is definitely wrong with Mystery Mountain, and the heroes are not sure if Night Ninja is to blame.
To avoid any more traps, the PJ Masks use some bamboo to catapult themselves straight to the summit. Once there, they see Night Ninja and his Ninjalinos using a scroll to place the Dragon Gong in a marked location inside the pagoda. Once it's in place, Night Ninja tries to take the mallet from the gong. It's stuck, but the Teeny Weeny ninjalino helps him out with the corresponding spell. Now with the gong and the mallet in his possession, Night Ninja reveals his plan to have the dragon break open the Pagoda, allowing him to steal the secrets of Mystery Mountain.
The PJ Masks reveal themselves, but fail to stop Night Ninja from summoning the dragon, meaning Owlette has to get her to remember her and her friends. However, despite having befriended the PJ's after their last encounter, the Dragon appears to have forgotten about them, so Night Ninja makes her use her dragon breath to blow Owlette out of her way, but not before she apologizes to her and says that she must obey him once more. He then orders her to get rid of the PJ's once and for all, but instead she suddenly vanishes, causing Night Ninja to launch them off the mountain himself. Next, the doors of the pagoda open, and to Night Ninja's surprise the mallet changes into a flute. Finally, a mysterious girl shows up, takes the flute, and leaps out of the pagoda after the PJ Masks after a flabbergasted Night Ninja asks the dragon to get rid of her, not knowing that the dragon and the new girl are in fact one and the same. Nonetheless, he and his Ninjalinos finally manage to enter the pagoda.
Part 2[]
Using her flute to control the vines and rocks on Mystery Mountain, the new girl saves all 3 PJ masks from falling, and brings them to safety in the bamboo forest. She has no time to explain who she is however, since Night Ninja still needs to be stopped. Owlette offers to help, but the girl refuses, stating this is her battle. She orders the PJ Masks to go home, then flies back to the summit. Naturally, the heroes refuse and follow her.
Meanwhile, Night Ninja and his Ninjalinos have entered the Pagoda, and already stolen its first relic; the invisibility stone. The girl confronts Night Ninja, and demands the stone back. Night Ninja tries to call the dragon to help him, but she doesn't show up. Then the PJ Masks also show up, prompting the girl to once more order them to leave. When she sees the Ninjalinos inside the pagoda, she teleports away, leaving the PJ Masks with Night Ninja. Night Ninja then takes out a second stone; a red one, with the power to turn anything to stone. A brief fight between him and the PJ Masks follows. Eventually, Night Ninja uses sticky splat projectiles to trap Catboy and Gekko, and the red stone to turn Owlette's boots to stone, trapping all three. He proceeds to turn Gekko and Catboy's feet to stone as well.
With the heroes incapacitated, and slowly turning to statues, Night Ninja goes back to the pagoda, when his Ninjalinos come running out the door, emptyhanded and clearly scared. The girl chased them out. Night Ninja tries to call the dragon again, but the girl informs him the dragon is gone. He then tries to turn the girl to stone, but she dodges his attack. Night Ninja then makes himself invisible and steals the girl's staff, leaving her powerless. Despite being stuck, Catboy and Owlette manage to use their powers to take the staff back, and Gekko manages to capture Night Ninja. The girl uses her magic flute to force Night Ninja to give the stones back, and turns the PJ Masks back to normal.
When Night Ninja asks why the dragon isn't showing up to help him, the girl finally reveals her true identity; she is the dragon. Night Ninja freed her when he returned the gong to Mystery Mountain and ordered her to defeat his adversaries after unleashing her. With her flute, she sends Night Ninja off Mystery Mountain, with his Ninjalinos retreating shortly after. When they're gone, the girl introduces herself to the PJ Masks as An Yu and apologizes to them for not recognizing them. She bids them farewell, and hopes to meet them again soon. The PJ Masks then shout their catchphrase, however, they also leave the Dragon Gong in An Yu's possession instead of bringing it back to the museum.
