"After the music, chosen by yours truly, Nadakhan and his b-b-bride-to-be will make their sacred D-D-Djinn vows. She will obviously object, b-b-but it won't matter, because when the ceremony is complete, all wishes will be yours, Captain." Clancee told Nadakhan, explain how the wedding will go. "Good, Clancee. Tonight, I don't want any interruptions." 

" Captain! Captain!" Bucko rushed into the room. " What is it!?" Nadakhan shouted. "You were right. The last ninja, he's coming." "Gather the entire crew. I want this place locked down with three to every post. Tonight, nothing will get in the way of me becoming king! Nothing!" Nadakhan ordered.

" Good news is she be on top. Bad news be everybody else and their mothers be guarding below." Soto told the group as he spotted Nya who was pacing around. " So much for the quiet entrance." Ronin commented. "They may know you're coming, but they haven't caught us yet. We'll get you close, you do the rest." Skylor told Jay.

" Don't be noticed. The minute they see us coming, it's all over." Jay reminded. "Ninja Replacements go!" The group said in unison as they made their way through Djinjago. Sneaking right under guards. Pretending to be statures for crying out loud. Knocking out anyone if necessary.  Swimming through a small river even. " Wait for me over there. I'll get Nya." Jay told them as he made this way to Nya.

 " Pssy Nya." He got her attention. " Jay! You came for me!" She smiled. "Oh, wow. You look beautiful. I'll get you out." Jay tried to open the window but couldn't. " I already tried. They won't budge." Nya looked down. "Do you still have the poison?" He asked but Nya told him that it was taken. 

"Oh, Jay, the ceremony is gonna start any moment. You didn't use your wish yet, did you?" She asked. " Not yet. Maybe if we both..." Jay trailed off as they failed to open the window. " I don't trust anyone else. I will escort her myself." Nadakhan's voice wafted into the room like a bad smell. "It's him. Hide." Nya warned. Jay left but got stuck on a rope.

" It is time." Nadakhan entered the room. "Already?" Nya raised her voice for Jay to hear. " Boy, if I had another wish, I sure would use it right about now. Now that you're in earshot." Jay tried to make his wish but pirates spotted him. He had to quickly fight them but was too far away for Nadkhan to hear him as he tried to wish. " If you won't come willingly, Nya. I will take you regardless." He told her as Jay was shouted in the background.

" Wait. Call me, Delara" Nya told the Djinn. "Why the sudden change?" He asked. " I never thought I'd say this, but you've proven to be the most powerful. You win. And I'd be a fool to turn my back on the man who could grant me everything I ever wished for." Nya lied with the most convincing voice and face ever. 

"Delara and I dreamed this moment would come, but we never had the chance to see it through." Nadakhan told her. " But now you can. In her honor. We can be powerful together." She faked a smile. " Yes." Jay continued to try and get Nadakhan to hear him. "What is it, my love?" The Djinn asked. "How can I stand beside you if your sword is always between us?" She asked, having a plan.

"But it is tradition for a Djinn King to be married with his blade." He informed her. "Let me be your power, not your blade. Or do you do everything your father tells you?" She snickered. " You are right. I am my own Djinn. You alone will give me the power of infinite wishes." He set his sword down next to the window. "Now come... Delara." The two left the room.

" I WISH NADAKHAN-" And they were already gone. " Oh, come on. Seriously? Huh? The sword." Jay took the sword and regrouped with everyone else. " Don't tell me. You didn't get her." Ronin already knew the answer. "No, but she did help me get this." Jay showed them the sword. "Now if I can only figure out how to free my friends from it."

" There is a way." Soto paused. "Please go on. It's not like there is a wedding to stop!" Jay shouted. "A Djinn can capture you in his Djinn Blade by tricking you to wish it all away. Or there's a simpler way: be struck by it." Soto finished. " You're telling me we have to strike Jay with the sword? Won't that be painful?" Skylor asked.

"And how do you know that's true? You still call the ninja Pajama Men." Dareth added. "I may not know much about Pajama Men, but I know Djinn. The hard part isn't getting captured by the blade, but getting out. There have been few who have ever escaped a Djinn entrapment, so I can't tell you what you'll find inside. But once you're there, you'll only have minutes until you fall under its enchantment and are forever trapped yourself."

"Okay, thanks for the tip. I gotta work fast. So who wants to strike me down?" Jay asked. Everyone raises their hands." Really? Am I that annoying?" Jay gave Echo Zane the sword. "Okay, when I say go." He told the robot. " On go. Affirmative." Echo nodded. " Wait!" Skylor cut in. "Wait! Wait? This isn't easy, you know." Jay said back.

"What if you don't make it out? What are we supposed to do then?" Skylor asked. Jay sighed, " You're right. So listen carefully. If I don't return, I want you four to go—" Jay was cut off by Echo saying go. Jay tried to get him to stop but Echo strikes Jay with the sword. "And that's why I should've done it." Ronin commented while Echo didn't know what he did wrong.
