(The ninja watch as Wu stays behind with Pythor.)

Wu: You must do everything in your power to stop the Great Devourer. Go, ninja, go!(Nya takes of in her meach) Yes. (The Devourer swallows Pythor and Wu.)

Anna: SENSEI! ( Anna tries to run to where Wu and Pythor were standing but kai stops her.)

Kai: It's too late.

Jay: No. (The Devourer spots them.) Oh, maybe if we stand perfectly still...

Kai: Run!(Anna and the ninja made the run for their life though Anna was a bit slow due to the lost of Wu.)

Jay: (Trips) Wait! Wait for me!

Anna: (Anna goes back to help Jay.)

Nya: Fire up the engines. I said fire up the engines!

Lloyd: There's no wind. And we only have reserved fuel.

Nya: Use it. (The ninja make it to the Destiny's Bounty.)

Jay: Uh, hate to tell you this, but objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

Nya: Working on it. Blasters on full (The bounty takes off before the huge snake eats it.)

Kai: Whoo-hoo! Take that, you stupid snake.

Jay: Uh, I think it heard you.

Anna: Nya, can we go any faster!.

Nya: We're going as fast as we can. I'll try to make it to Scattered Canyon.

Zane: Probability of us making it that far is less than 8 percent.

Nya: NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS!

Cole: It's coming in for another attack. Port side.

Lloyd: We're losing speed. We'll drop to the ground pretty soon.

Nya: Throw everything overboard.

All: What?

Nya: We need to lose some weight.

Lloyd: Port side! (The ninja begin throwing out many things including a fridge only for the Devourer to eat it all and grow exponentially.)

Jay: Man, he sure is hungry. Does anyone else think the Devourer looks bigger than it did before?

Cole: The more it consumes, the bigger it gets. Don't throw anything else overboard.

Nya: Phew. We made it to Scattered Canyons. Hold on!

Cole: Ah, we lost him. 

Anna: No we didn't , Over there (Anna points the front of the ship where the great Great Devourer have sprung up and bites off an engine.)

Nya: Abandon ship!(Lloyd grabbed Anna hand and and Nya took both off the ship.)

Zane: Goodbye, old friend. (They leave, And watch Devourer swallows the Bounty but quickly leave.)

All: No!

Cole: Unh, it's gone.

Kai: Oh, that was too intense. All that action makes you so thirsty.

Zane: There's no time to rest. We need to warn people before it becomes bigger.

Jay: Bigger? Bigger!? That thing in one big bite crushed our entire ship! We need to save as many as we can. Uh, uh, we'll find some kind of refuge, somewhere safe to hide. Ooh, the Serpentine Tombs. Yeah, they're underground. Sure, we'll be without sunlight for months, but they're perfect.

Cole: And what? Just give up?

Jay: You know as well as I do, we have no chance at stopping that thing!

Kai: Hey, stop it! Listen to yourselves. Is this what Sensei Wu would've wanted? Us fighting? Running and hiding? Giving up?

Lloyd: But he's not here anymore. (Everyone begins to mourn losing their master.)

Kai: But his teachings live on. Sensei once told me it's not the size of a ninja in a fight, it's the size of the fight in the ninja. All this training, all of these battles we've had with skeletons and Serpentine. We've persevered through so much, we can't just give up now. A ninja never admits defeat. A ninja always pick himself up when he is down. Which is exactly what Sensei Wu would want us to do right now.

Anna: He right (The ninja look back to see Anna.) For once. I been with Wu since the beginning and one thing that a ninja never quits!, We have a lot of people counting on us , and remember its our job to protect ninjago  

Zane: but how do we destroy a snake of that magnitude?

Jay: Yeah, it's not like we have an extra Sacred Flute lying around to charm it. Or wait, haha, how about one of our awesome Dragons? Oh, I forgot. They took off and left us high and dry. Or, hey, what about out Golden Weapons? Which will do nothing against a snake that size. Heh, oh, we are so hooped.

Cole: Ah, Jay's right. We would need a weapon so big.

Kai: Or an idea that's even bigger! Ha! Jay, you're a genius! You thinking what I'm thinking?

Jay: Probably not, but go ahead.

Kai: There's no time. I'll fill you guys in on the way.

Jay: Wha—Where are we going?

Kai: We're going to destroy that snake once and for all.
