As they were underwater, the Ninja, P.I.X.A.L., Dragon, Chamille, Faith and Seliel move around before they look down to see Callen sinking with Geoff swimming down to get to her before Dragon pointed to Zane and he nods, knowing he should help him before he points to Lloyd and then to Bladolver, who was at the bottom, pulling on something. He then waved to the others, signaling them to surface and wait for them before he, Lloyd and Zane start to swim down while everyone else swim for the surface. Geoff manages to grab hold of Callan as Zane comes up next to him, causing Geoff to nod, and they start swimming up. As Geoff and Zane head up to resurface with Callen, Dragon and Lloyd swim past them to where Bladolver was. His right foot was trapped under a bunch of rocks as they came down to him and was pulling on it to try and free himself. Lloyd swam to him to have him stop before swimming down to try and pull his leg out himself, letting some air bubbles out as he did so, which Bladolver sees while Dragon watched him. As Lloyd kept trying to pull the leg, letting out air bubbles as he did so, Bladolver taps Dragon's shoulder, who looks at him, and shakes his head. Dragon nods as Lloyd kept trying to pull on the leg before Dragon swam over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder, causing him to look and see him shake his head. Lloyd soon stopped before looking at Bladolver, who nods before they head for the surface while Bladolver smiled as he watched them swim for the surface before he closed his eyes, letting out all of his air bubbles as he did so.

Dragon and Lloyd surface, exhaling whatever air they had in them, and swim to the shore as they see Geoff, Zane and the others checking up on Callen. Surprisingly, apart from his hair and hands, Geoff's robes were not wet. They soon saw the two as they came up to them. "Callen?" Dragon asked as they knelt down to her as she was clutching her left ankle. "Are you okay?"
"I just finished a scan on her." Zane said. "She's got a broken ankle. Must've happened when some of the rocks hit her."
"Then we'll have to carry her." Lloyd replied. "What about the baby?"
"Luckily, there was no damage to her foetus."
"Lloyd, where's Bladolver?" Callen asked, concerned for her boyfriend.
"I'm afraid we couldn't save him." Dragon replied. "He knew his end was near."
Callen starts to sob as they help her up onto her feet before she suddenly exhaled a little and groaned. "What is it?" Geoff asked as Callen held her baby bump.
"My water just broke." She replied.
"What does that mean?" Jay asked.
"She is about to have the baby." Seliel replied.
"We gotta hurry." Geoff said, picking her up, bridal style. "They'll be looking for us." He quickly takes off as the others quickly pick their weapons up and ran after them.
"Geoff, wait up!" Jay yelled.

At the jewel of the labyrinth, Chongbai looks at the lake and smiled as he held the staff in one hand and the dagger in another before he puts on the medallion. "So, the baby is about to be born, eh?" He asked, having read Lloyd and Dragon's thoughts. "Soon, Master Yether will be brought back to the world and rule Ninjago forever!" He soon raised the dagger and staff high in the air as the medallion swung a little and laughed.
--------
In the jungle, away from the ocean, Geoff was carrying Callen as he and the others ran along the path. Since it was too far to reach Ninjago City, they had no choice but to seek shelter in Borg Industries' vault, located in the middle of the labyrinth. "Let's just hope we get there in time." Cole said as they kept on running.
