(In Jamanakai Village, some kids are playing soccer.)

Red Shirt Kid: Come on. Ha, you can't catch me. (He ends up piled on by two kids.)

Green Sweatshirt Kid: Oh. Here I go. (Kicks ball over the other kids)

Red Shirt Kid: Whoa.

Blue Shirt Kid: Oh, yeah. Good one.

Green Sweatshirt Kid: Thanks!

Red Shirt Kid: How'd you do that?

Green Sweatshirt Kid: I'll teach ya! 

(The kids high-five. The Destiny's Bounty, repainted to its original state, flies by. On deck, Lloyd looks at the kids below and sighs.)

Kai: Lloyd? Lloyd! Concentrate! (Lloyd just looks at him.)

Zane: Now that the Bounty is in our possession again, we can train you more effectively. But you'll have to focus. 

Destiny: Yeah. We can't let this opportunity slip us by. Especially because painting the Bounty took a long time. 

Zane: Destiny is right. One more time Lloyd. 

Lloyd: Oh, but we've been training all day.

Cole: It's all to get you ready to face your father. Now, in position.

(Lloyd sighs as he comes up to the middle of the deck as the ninja put their hoods on and yawns)

Lloyd: (Sighs) Whatever.

(Kai charges at Lloyd first, but he punches him, knocking him back) 

Lloyd: (yawns) Too easy.

(Zane and Jay soon come at him from the air.)

Lloyd: Ninja, go! (He does Spinjitzu, knocking them both down.)

(As Lloyd lands, Cole comes up him from behind and slide kicks him, knocking Lloyd out of balace)

Lloyd: (yawns) "Whoa".

(Destiny does Spinjitzu, throwing Lloyd in the air. As he spins, Lloyd lands facedown as the others take off their hoods, in concern.)

Lloyd: That was fun. Are we done? Can I go?

Jay: Oh, come on. You're better than this. What's on your mind?

Lloyd: (Gets up) Well...The latest issue of Starfarer just came in at Doomsday Comix and it's a limited run.

Kai: Starfarer? Doomsday Comix?

Cole: Eh.

Lloyd: So if I don't get it, it's going to sell out. Last they left off, intergalactic rogue Fritz Donnegan was surrounded by the Imperial Sludge. 

Kai: Imperial- oh my goodness.

Lloyd: If I don't find out if he gets out alright, I think I might have my own doomsday!

Kai: Ugh, look kid. The fate of Ninjago rests on your shoulders. As the Green Ninja, you have a giant responsibility to hold. 

Destiny: He's right. I'm sorry, but you don't have time for such childish things. (mumbles) I never did.

Lloyd: Other kids get to play and have fun. All I ever do is train.

(Lloyd goes to the railing and sees Jamanakai Village, where he hears the children's playing in the distance. Destiny joins him.)
