"I think some things are best left in the past. Come on, let's just prepared for the future."

(A/N: For some reason, I can't find the episode on youtube so here's the next best thing lol)

The ninjas awoke to the sound of their alarm clock, "Someone turn it off!!" (Y/N) groaned and the alarm just keep blasting. TO TURN IT THE FUCK OFF!" They repeated, before Kai called back, "I'm trying but it's not stopping!"

Lloyd turns it off with his power. "Is it Wednesday already?" Lloyd asked before Jay cried, "Sunrise exercise. I hate sunrise exercise." He groaned and rubbed his temple.

Wu then spoke into the room while ringing a tiny gong. "Ah. Good morning, morning, morning! Up, up. It's a new day, students. Before we begin sunrise exercise, I noticed the dragon made another mess outside. It looks like a two-person job, hehe." He chuckled, "Uh, what was that Sensei?" Cole quickly said, running away, "Did I hear an SOS call come in?" Kai simultaneously asked, Zane joining, "I sense I need to be somewhere else." Jay pats the green ninja on his shoulder and says, "Lloyd, haha. I'm sure you got this, heh." (Y/N) quickly grabbed their ninja gear and said, "I think Nya is calling me!"

The ninja, with the exception of Lloyd, turned around to depart, but he stopped his companions. "Aww, you might've been able to dump chores on me when I was smaller, but I'm grown up now. That's not fair!" Kai sighed. "You're right, Lloyd. We need to settle this like men. With a round of Rock, Paper, Clamp! Okay, on three! One, two, three!"

Everyone else chose paper, but Lloyd chose rock. "Haha, paper beats rock!" Jay exclaimed. Lloyd groaned, "How does paper beat rock?"

He went to clean up after the dragon. "I always have to do the dirty work." Lloyd mumbled.

"Hey, having a pet dragon requires a lot of responsibility." Cole stated, "Didn't your mom ever let you have a pet?" Jay questioned, "I don't remember my mother. She abandoned me when I was really young." Lloyd remembered, "She just left? Who took care of you?" Kai asked, "I spent my whole life at Darkley's Boarding School." Lloyd acknowledged, and (Y/N) said, "Aww Lloyd, maybe you could talk to your mother one day if you see her."

"Hey, I have a mission for you guys." Nya slid the Bounty's anchor down and informed them, "It's the Museum of Ninjago! They've asked for you guys! Something really strange has happened." She explained, "What?" Kai asked. "You're gonna have to see it to believe it," Nya announced.

"Here, Nya. Hold this." After fleeing with the ninjas, Lloyd gave her the bag of dragon waste. "Wait a minute. What am I supposed to do with these?" She asked, then turned to face the beast. "Oh." She sighed.

The ninjas met the Curator at the front of the museum, and he led them in. "Oh, thank heavens you're here!" He spoke as he walked in front of the team.

"We heard there was an emergency?" Wu asked. "Yes, come, come. Quickly, this way. The Stone Warrior exhibit opens to the public tonight, and this couldn't have come at a worse time." The curator told them, "Uh, what couldn't have come at a worse time?" He responded to the elderly Sensei.

"Ninjago City appreciates your help in destroying the Great Devourer some time back, but it appears its toxic venom has seeped into the city sewer system and has had the most unusual after-effect." As they continued to follow them, the Curator explained, passing by a few city workers cleaning some hazardous venom from the museum's vents. "Ugh. It stinks!" Kai gaged before the Curator to unlock the gift shop door.
