Jay screamed as he fell through the air, landing in his parent's junkyard. " What is that racket?" Ed questioned, throwing open the door to the trailer. Him and Enda walked out and found Jay. " Our son! Ed gasped. "Oh, you mean our adopted son, Ed. Remember?" Edna remarked as if the man had poor memory. "Of course I remember, Edna." Ed said a bit roughly. 

" But this is the second time he's landed on our doorstep, and if you think I'm not going to help him, well, you don't know the man you married." "Of course I know. That's why I married you." Edna smiled and climbed up the pile of metal, closer to Jay. "Oh, I hope he's all right." "Now, how does someone just fall from the sky?" Ed questioned. " Mom? Dad?" Jay groaned, waking up.

"There you two are. Nadakhan has a mission for you." Dogshank said, approaching two pirates who were guarding a room. " Back so soon?" One of them asked. "Did you give our respects to the Tiger Widow?" The other joked. " Haha, very funny. Now get out of here!" She made a threatening gesture. The two ran off and Dogshank entered the room where Doubloon and Clancee were struggling to get Nya into the wedding dress.

Dogshank picked up Nya by her head. "Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes, Miss No-Fun?" Nya insulted. "Most girls would be lucky to marry a man who can give them whatever they want." Dogshank told her, helping her into the dress. "Well, we're not most girls, are we? Besides, what I want is to not marry him. But I don't suppose you'd help me with that." Nya said as Dogshank put her down in front of the mirror.

"Oh, d-d-don't she look pretty in white?" Clancee stuttered. " Pretty? I look hideous! And what's with these four arms?" Nya looked at herself in the mirror. " It was his mother's. We'll make alterations." Dogshank told her. " Ugh! I hate dresses." Nya put her hands up, the dart rolling out from under her.  Doubloon noticed it and picked it up. "A blowpipe?" Clancee looked at it.

 "And a dart filled with Tiger Widow poison. Real nasty stuff." Dogshank glared at Nya, " I should know. Careful, one drop of it is deadly." Dogshank warned as Doubloon started to fumble around with it." But to a Djinn, it'd slow him down long enough to do something stupid." Clancee added. "Please, you can't tell him. You have a choice. You don't have to do this." Nya pleaded. "He'd blame us for even letting it get this close." Clancee commented. "Clancee, get rid of it." Doubloon threw the dart at Clancee. "Now hurry up. The ceremony run-through is in few minutes." Dogshank told him.

"And then when I tried to save Nya with the Traveler's Tea, she said since I had the most important wish, I was the one who needed to be saved. Then she pushed me through the portal. I had no idea where I was going. I guess with my parents on my mind, it sent me where I needed to be." Jay explained as he drank some soup, sitting on a chair in front of his parents.

"Oh. Hear that? He called us his parents." Enda was overjoyed at that. "So that's why Ninjago is falling apart," Ed commented. "If I could take back the wishes, I would. But I can't. It cost me my friends, the love of my life, and most importantly, the two people who care for me the most. And now it's up to me, and me alone, to stop the wedding and save the world. Just one guy against a Djinn and his entire army." Jay added.

" Now you stop it. Stop making excuses." Ed told him. " Uh, excuse me?" Jay was confused. " Every time you're over your head, you make a joke and you try to laugh it off. Right now is not a time to be a man of words, but a man of action." "Ed, don't be so hard on him." Edna told her husband, putting her hand on Jays back. "N-Now, he needs to hear this, darling. The world is falling apart, and he's eating soup."

"But I told you, it's just me." Jay tried to reason with his father. " Hush, puppy! You're liked by everyone who meets you. You're telling me a boy from a junkyard can't scrap together a few friends to help him out in a jam?" Jay thought about what his dad said and prepared to depart. "Good luck infiltrating the wedding, son."

"Thanks, Mom and Dad. I'll let you know how things go." Jay walked away after hugging his parents. " And after you save Nya, bring her over for a bite. We'd love to see her again" Edna smiled. Jay summoned his dragon and flew away. "I still think you were hard on him, Ed." Edna remarked. " And that's why I married you, sweetheart."
