(In a dream, Zane wakes up to loud noises pounding at the Monastery doors.)

Zane: Huh? (Walks out to the monastery on guard.) Who is it? (Zane reaches for the door, and braces as it immediately opens with a strong breeze. A Serpentine sorceress slithers through the doors.) Gah! Who are you? (Brings his hands up to defense.) What do you want?

Serpentine: Revenge! (Serpentine whips out her staff with a Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu attached, points it at Zane & Lilly, shooting a fireball at him.)

Zane: (Continues to foresee Pyro Vipers, a man with familiar glowing eyes and clad in samurai armor and his castle, and an Ice Dragon attack and freeze everyone in a village including the rest of the ninja.) No. No, no!

Jay: (Zane sees Jay, entrapped in ice in his vision.) Zane! Wake up, Zane! Cole's about to beat your high score!

Zane: (Wakes up, gasping, shouts in surprise as Jay stares into his face beside his bed.) Jay! (Continues gasping for breath.) I just had a terrible nightmare!

Jay: Oh, I'm afraid it's not a dream, Zane. It's real, Cole's about to beat your high score.

Jay: Shh shh, relax, Zane. It was just a dream.

Zane: (Points, emphasizing.) It was a vision!

Jay: Uh, like which?

Zane: Like the vision about the Titanium Dragon, and the vision before that about the Green Ninja, and the time before that about the—

Jay: And Lilly was…(was trying to remember the name.)

Zane: Was about are family and Jack.

Jay: (Dismisses his explanations with a wave.) Okay, okay, but this is different. (Opens the shoji door.) Now seriously, Cole at your brother is about to beat your Lava Zombie score and I don't want to miss it, so come on! (Leaves, Zane follows uncertainty.)

(The ninja & Reese's watch as Cole plays Lava Zombies.) 

Lloyd: Get the guy on the left! (Cole smashes the zombie on the left, then to the right.)

Kai: Cole, you’re on fiyah! (Cole smashes the last zombie and the game finishes.)

Nya: Oh, you did it!

Cole: Woohoo!

Kai: Alright!

Lloyd: Yeah! High score!

Kai: That was awesome!

Cole: Woohoo! Lava Zombie King!

Lloyd: Alright, Cole! (The ninja continue cheering as Jay comes in.)

Jay: Aw man, we missed it!

Zane: Congratulations, Cole. That is quite an achievement.

Cole: Thanks, brother. No hard feelings?

Zane: Of course not.

Cole: (Sighs and rubs his arm.) Good, because my arm is pretty sore.

Nya: I'm sore just from watching.

Kai: Know what I’m thinking?

Ninja: (Jump up and cheer.) Hot tub!

(Scenery changes to the ninja jumping in the hot tub.)
