(Near a village, some farmers are tending to their crops. Some trucks screech to a halt near them, and some henchmen get off. One of them knocks on the back of a truck.)

Henchman #1: All clear, boss! (gets smacked by the opening truck doors)

Miss Demeanor: (blows a bubble of gum before it pops and she jumps out) What am I doing out here? Ah, I hate the country. I'm a city girl. New rule! From now on, we only commit crimes in the city! Unless they pay triple.

Henchman #1: Uh, they are paying triple, Mrs. Demeanor.

Miss Demeanor: It's not Mrs. Demeanor, it's Miss Demeanor! (She fires her flamethrower at her henchman.) How many times do I have to say it?

Henchman #1: Sorry, Miss Demeanor.

Miss Demeanor: Why'd they want to meet out here anyway? We're in the middle of nowhere!

Henchman #2: Probably so those nosy ninja don't find us.

Lloyd: Too late for that! (He, Kai, and Jay dramatically reveal themselves.)

Henchman #1: The ninja!

Miss Demeanor: Ooh, I've been waiting for this! I've worked so hard to make it to the top. And it's actually happening! Oh, wait, wait, wait, I had a line for this. Oh yeah, I've got a warm welcome planned! (She fires her flamethrowers at them.) Get the trucks out of here. You four, get the ninja!

Jay: I don't get it. Why do we fight common thugs so often?

Miss Demeanor: So long, boys! I hope our paths cross again! (She laughs as she gets away, but Cole appears in front of her.)

Cole: How's this? Too soon? (He fires at the trucks, two of which are disabled. Miss Demeanor fires at him, knocking his dirt bike over, then drives past him.)

Miss Demeanor: (laughing) Nice try, ninja! You almost had me!

Cole: (He looks down to see Vengestone on the ground.) Vengestone?

Lloyd: Nya, Zane, they're headed your way. Cut them off. We'll catch up.

Nya: We're on it.

Miss Demeanor: (She sees Nya and Zane trying to cut her off.) Faster, go faster! They're trying to cut us off!

Henchman: Yes, Miss Demeanor.

Lloyd: Nya, need a little water power.

Nya: I'm on it.

Lloyd: Zane, get ready. As soon as Nya douses the truck, flash freeze everything!

Zane: Affirmative.

Nya: Here goes! (She summons a water tornado but it spirals out of control.)

Lloyd: Now! Hit the truck! (The tornado goes around the truck.) Nya, drop it on the truck!

Nya: I'm trying. It's not obeying!

Miss Demeanor: Ha! She's lost control! That's embarrassing.

Zane: Nya! (He leaps and pushes her out of the way just as the tornado comes their way.)

Miss Demeanor: Get your act together! I'm doing my part. Am I the only professional?

Jay: They're getting away!

Lloyd: I know, but I think we have bigger problems.

Zane: (He tries to freeze the tornado.) I - I can't hold it! (The tornado breaks free.)

Lloyd: Look out! (They all leap out of the way.) Nya, just drop the water back down!

Nya: I'm trying! Nothing's working!
