"But there's still one big problem. The bounty can't fly." Nya said. "It's a ship, right? Can't it sail?" Misako asked. "Ssilly question. Of course it can." Jay said, "Haha! Right?"

"Now, promise me you'll eat all your vegetables." Edna said. "Mom!" Jay protested, embarrassed. "Oh, I mean it!" She said, "You get sluggish when you don't get enough vitamins. Ed, tell him if he's going to save the world he has to eat his vegetables." "Uh, do what your mother says." Ed said. "I don't know what to say." Lou was hugging his son. "You don't have to say anything." Cole said. "You're right, I don't have to say anything, but I do have to sing!" Lou's friends started humming. "Who's gonna save, Ninjago's hide? Who's gonna make a dad swell with pride? Cole is. Cole does. Cole, Cole, Cole." He sang. The citizens listening clapped their hands, and Cole embraced his father in another hug. "That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard, Pop."

"Now Dareth, as the honorary Brown Ninja, we're entrusting you with protecting Ninjago and tending to the Ultra Dragon. Are you up to the tasks?" Kai asked. "I won't let you guys down." Dareth turned around. "Did you hear that? I'm officially the Brown Ninja!" he called. The citizens cheered for some reason. "Hahaha. What's my elemental power?" he turned again to ask Kai and Nya. "Uh, hot air?" Nya suggested. "So I command the wind! Cool!" "Huh, feels a little off, but anyways, who am I to end your happiness?" Cole smiled in a little distance. In the air, Ultra roared. "You need to stay here, big guy. These people need your protection." Lloyd said.

On the Bounty, which is already in water, Zane stood, looking at the people including his brothers with slight sorrow, and sighed. He looked from Cole being with his dad to Jay hugging his parents. Sensei walked up to him. "Is there anyone you would like to say goodbye to?" he asked. "My only family is my falcon and my only memory of my father was nearly erased. I will miss Ninjago for it's all I know. But I am excited to see what the future has in store." Zane replied. "Well, my Nindroid friend, there are a few people who would like to say goodbye to you." Wu pointed at a little group of Zane fans, holding papers that has his name and a bunch of hearts. "I love you, you stupid Nindroid." Mother Doomsday said.

Wu and Zane looked at each other, "Pupils, it's time we set sail." the Sensei said. "Goodbye! See you! So long!" Jay, Cole, and Kai waved. Jay and Cole pulled up the sails, and Nya steered the ship. Dareth was on a little wooden pole, speaking nonsense as the Destiny's Bounty set sail. "You see that? It's working!" For the last time, the citizens cheered and waved loudly. "Jay! Did you make sure to pack clean underwear?" Edna called as she waved. Jay's expression changed from happy to embarrassed again. "Yes. Mom!" he covered his face as the others laughed.

"We still have a long journey ahead of us." Wu said, looking at the sunset like the others. Zane walked up with an upset expression. "Still no word from your falcon? Cole asked. "Not yet." he walked to where they were standing. "I wonder what's on the island." Kai said. "An entirely new ecosystem?" Zane suggested. "Never before seen creatures?" Cole asked. "Oh! Vegetables that taste like desert?" Jay hoped. "I hope the Stone Army is there. They may've gotten the best of us once, but never again." Kai decided. "You said it. Cole said. "Here, here!" Jay grinned.

"I wonder if this is the end of our destiny." Lloyd said. "If it is, there isn't anyone else I'd want by my side." "Here, here." Jay raised his hand. "You said it." Cole smiled. In a sudden, Zane's eyes glowed blue. "My falcon has arrived at the Dark island!" he exclaimed. Indoors, he plugged a line into the computer, the falcon's vision appeared on the screen. "There. Now we can all see." Zane moved his head down slightly, and saw a stone warrior shoot some kind of shuriken towards the falcon. Zane flew backwards onto the ground.

"He's gone." he said. "We don't know that." Wu said while Lloyd and Misako helped him up since he was sitting on the ground. Nya and Kai walked towards Zane. "Oh, Zane. I'm so sorry." Nya said. The two helped him up. "Well, he was our friend too, so we're not gonna let him go in vain. If the Stone Army wants a fight, they got one!" Kai said. A fight. The Overlord whispered in a certain Serpentine's head. Jay's consciousness was beginning to get swallowed.
