LEGO Nexo Knights - Season 3

The Knights finally make it to the Lava Lands – using their various new forms of transport, which are all strictly civilian vehicles – and they must regroup and learn to fight together again to face the new threat of Jestro, the Cloud of Monstrox, and their STONE MONSTERS (in this case, Stone Gargoyles.) But Jestro and his monsters beat back the knights and recover the STAFF OF MONSTROX – which was buried under the ceremonial chamber from Episode 210 (and is now the Lava Puker amusement park ride) – and they get away on Jestro's EVIL MOBILE, which he recovers from the HQ garage. Macy says this is exactly why she's been touring the kingdom preparing everyone for the next attack. The Knights have to get it together because now the entire kingdom is under threat…again. Robin decides he must upgrade the Knights' vehicles and make them more "fight optimized." Ava and Merlok 2.0 must figure out how to use new NEXO Powers because regular NEXO Powers do make Stone monsters back into stone, but the Cloud simply zaps them to life again. Meanwhile, in the IRON MOUNTAINS, Jestro and the Cloud of Monstrox find the first of the Forbidden Powers: RELENTLESS RUST. They find the ROGUL STATUE holding the power and zap him to life. Now…they can rust those shiny knights to pieces! Ava and Merlok are attempting to use NEXO COMBO POWERS – with hilarious results – as they try to figure out how they might work. When Jestro attacks, he's able to halt the Fortrex by instantly rusting its tracks and wheels! Robin has his hands full trying to clean all the rust from the attack of Relentless Rust. As the Knights attempt to defend against Jestro, the Cloud is zapping statues to life. He hits a statue with a bolt of lightning as Clay is touching it. Something happens…Clay feels odd; stiff; as if rock is mixing with his body. Finally, Ava and Merlok 2.0 download to the Knights their new thing: a COMBO NEXO COMBO Power. It works! It can smash the animated statues to dust! They use it to defeat Jestro, but he and the Cloud get away with the Forbidden Power of Relentless Rust. Victory … sort of. Clay talks to Merlok 2.0…something has happened to him. What can they do? Merlok 2.0 is very concerned.

As Jestro and the Cloud of Monstrox head off on the Evil Mobile to "store" the Forbidden Power in a secret location, they encounter…THE SCULPTOR. His real name is ROBERTO ARNOLDI. He's a sensitive and odd artist who has been laid off by the king (the King ordered a "smashing" statue of the Queen, and the Sculptor made a statue of the Queen literally smashing monsters. He takes everything very literally.) Jestro instructs him to make a "bad" statue that he can use to attack the knights. The Sculptor sets to work. Meanwhile, the NEXO KNIGHTS are discussing the COMBO NEXO Powers, the Forbidden Powers, and what all this means. Lance, meanwhile, decides that since his talk show career is on hold, he thinks he'll install cameras in the Fortrex and do a Big Brother-like expose show on the Knights (he decides NOT to tell the others.) Merlok 2.0 and the Cloud of Monstrox (each talking to their cohorts) explain the history of the Forbidden Powers: it's a history lesson about the WIZARDS' COUNCIL, the Forbidden Powers, and how they were stopped long ago. This visual montage leads Jestro to…MOUNT THUNDERSTROX. The Cloud of Monstrox shows him the circle of ten Standing Stones where he will insert the Forbidden Powers. "What'll happen after that?" asks Jestro, curious. "Oh, I don't want to spoil the surprise," says the Cloud. They insert the first Forbidden Power, Relentless Rust, and it locks into place on its stone. They go off to battle the Knights and collect the "bad" statue the sculptor is making. But he's made a literally bad statue…it's terrible ... garden gnomes. Like an amateur art student. And…it's not even finished. ("You can't rush bad genius!") The Knights attack with their newly modified vehicles and they succeed in destroying the Evil Mobile. They then try to use a COMBO NEXO Power, but can't…it had to be perfect to work (Ava and Merlok need to work on it.) As Jestro and the Cloud retreat, Merlok again talks to Clay about turning to stone! Merlok calls in Robin…he will need him to build something to help Clay as he becomes more and more impaired.

Jestro and the Cloud of Monstrox find a second Forbidden Power near the falling down Swamp Castle: RAVAGING ROT. With this power, they can make everything in the kingdom rot – food, vegetation, anything that grows or is natural. And that's exactly what they do! It's awful and makes everything stink. The Sculptor start to sculpt a portable HeadQuarter for his master, Jestro. Jestro expects it to be done when they return from ravaging the land. Axl is very concerned – he's into organic food ... and now food starts to rot. Merlok 2.0 and Ava are continuing to work on perfecting the COMBO NEXO Powers. We see display screens of MANY of the NEXO Powers. But there's a huge power consumption issue with these new-fangled combos. "I'll have to find an algorithmic power curve consumption solution, magic man," says Ava. "I always just sort of choose them by, uh, feel." "What do you feel like?" "Uh, a ham sandwich, a banana, and dragon fire," responds Merlok. "That produced a combo with 2% efficiency," says Ava. "This is why we have to actually THINK about and study perfec Combos. We need automatic power integration." The Knights must stop Jestro from rotting all the food and living plant matter in Knighton and Axl leads the charge. But as they finally confront Jestro, who's trying to rot a field of beans near Fruitbridge, they're hit by his finally completed ROLLING HQ (the Sculptor is proud of the "artsy" elements.) … it's not exactly perfect though … he took the idea of Head Quarter a little too litteral and created a big head. Finally, in this conclusive battle where the knights get strapped on a rotting bridge, Clay emerges in a sleek, new BATTLE SUIT that Robin built for him because he was starting to have trouble moving around (the whole turning to stone thing.) It's smaller and more high-tech than the bigger Mechs of the past. Clay's able to drive Jestro off. Jestro, at the end of the episode, puts the Forbidden Power of Ravaging Rot into Mount Thunderstrox. Meanwhile, back at the Fortrex, Axl makes an organic food feast for all his fellow Knights.

In the petrified forest of ROCK WOOD, strange things are happening. Rich folk who travel through the wood (we see JORAH TIGHTWADs TIGHTY KNIGHTIES) get robbed. It turns out to be ROBOT HOODLUM, a squirebot who leads his band of MERRY MECHS, and whose mantra is "Steal from the rich…" to keep their forgotten and disused squirebots in working order. But when Jestro invades the woods and uses the Cloud of Monstrox to bring the petrified trees to life (it turns out the "trees" are actually petrified monsters, the result of an old battle with Merlok) they clonk Robot Hoodlum on the head and his new mantra becomes "Shields from the rich…" He then breaks into the Fortrex and steals the Knights' special shields! They're forced to follow him into the now living petrified forest to track down their shields. A metal scrapyard in the woods turns out to be his HQ and he uses the petrified "trees" for all sorts of funny things (hat stands, clothing racks, etc.) But with the Knights in the woods hunting their stolen shields, the Cloud rains down lightning on the entire forest bringing the petrified monsters back to life. They attack! Robot Hoodlum helps, but he's his own guy. And…he won't give them back their shields! (This whole time Aaron is freaked-out by the idea of wood turning to stone. "Trippy! Is it wood? Is it a rock? Is it wood-rock?") Clay helps hold off Jestro and the petrified monsters in his BATTLE SUIT but he's battered and bruised? As the knights try to get organized, Ava downloads to Clay a great BATTLE-SUIT-COMBO NEXO Power (which her new program put together.) It turns out that his BATTLE SUIT is powerful enough to download three powers. Clay uses the COMBO NEXO Power to beat the living forest and Jestro. At the very end of the episode, Robin presents ALL the Knights with BATTLE SUITS. But Aaron is still confused. Are they steel? Are they wood? Are they wood-rock? At the end, we see Dennis leave Lance's service to join Robot Hoodlum and his merry band. Also in this episode, we will see Merlok 2.0 and Clay have a private conversation. Clay's condition is getting worse. They must think about a successor to Clay to lead the Knights…but who?

Axl gets a disturbing message from friends in the Hill Country where his parents live…people are going missing! Axl decides the Knights must investigate and Merlok 2.0 concurs. "Strange things are happening in them hills." It turns out that Jestro and the Cloud of Monstrox are in the hills digging up the THREE BROTHERS STATUES. They were buried there by the Wizards' Council as it was the site of an old battle, but the Cloud of Monstrox wants to bring them back to life. They figure the big statues will give them an edge in battling the NEXO KNIGHTS once brought to life. The Sculptor, and the enslaved villagers of the Hill Country, must chisel the Three Brothers out of the stones (like dinosaur bones.) The Three Brothers come in three sizes: regular, mini and BIG. But the biggest brother's body gets ruined when Roberto Arnoldi tries to chisel him out of the rock. Jestro is mad. "We need to get him rolling again!" says Jestro, knowing the NEXO KNIGHTS are on their way. The Sculptor takes him literally and creates THE RAMMING VEHICLE, using the Biggest Brother's head as the battering ram. The three brothers bicker like crazy (think Three Stooges), but with their vehicle they're dangerous. The Knights use their new Battle Suits to get into the mountain and fight Jestro's newest monster team. They can't get COMBO NEXO Powers inside the mountain, but the Cloud also can't penetrate the mountain to re-zap any monsters. The Knights use a regular download power and then they can freeze the monsters in the mountain. Desperate, the Cloud decided to try to penetrate the mountain to help Jestro. But as he goes, his misty essence is absorbed by the rock. He turns out being the size of a small steam cloud and he talks like a hamster (too much of him was absorbed by the porous rock in the mountain.) Jestro has to use the empty book cover from seasons 1 and 2 to scoop up the cloud and get him out of there (he'll be the Book of Monsters briefly at the end of this episode, and enjoys it as he can play his harmonica again.) With Jestro, the Cloud, and the Three Brothers gone, the Knights freeze the rest of the monsters under the mountain and free all the enslaved villagers. The Knights end up back in Diggington for some Axl-made "stone soup." As Clay is growing more and more stiff, we see he and Merlok 2.0 briefing someone…telling them they will be Clay's replacement. Who is it?
