The Destiny's Bounty, repainted to its original state, flies by Jamanakai village as Kai speaks. "Lloyd? Lloyd! Concentrate!" Kai says and Lloyd just looks at him.

"Now that the Bounty is in our possession again, we can train you more effectively. But you'll have to focus. One more time." Zane says.

Lloyd sighs. "Oh, but we've been training all day."

"It's all to get you ready to face your father. Now, in position." Cole says.

Lloyd sighs as he comes up to the middle of the deck as the ninja put their hoods on and yawns before posing as they did so as well. "Whatever." Lloyd mutters. Kai charges at Lloyd first, but he punches him, knocking him back and yawns again. Zane and Jay soon come at him from the air. "Ninja, go!" Lloyd does Spinjitzu, knocking them both down. As Lloyd lands, Cole comes up him from behind and slide kicks him, knocking him into the air. As he spins, Lloyd lands facedown as the others take off their hoods, in concern. "Great. Are we done?" Lloyd asks.

"Oh, come on. You're better than this. What's on your mind?" Jay asks.

Lloyd gets up. "Nothing..just not in it today."

"Well you haven't been in it for the past few days." Cole says. Lloyd just sighs looking away.

Nya comes up from below deck. "Guys, there's been a break-in at the Ninjago City Museum of History and the security cameras picked up you-know-who."

"Garmadon!" Cole says.

"We have to stop him before he uses the Mega Weapon to start another one of the dilogicbal plots." Jay says.

Lloyd comes up to them, hoping to come, but they look at him, causing him to sigh. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't go and it's safer if I stay here and train." They nod, causing Lloyd to fold his arms in disappointment. Lloyd watched as others left.

"Come on. Show me what you got." Nya says. Lloyd just shakes his head before walking away.)

Later that night, at the museum, Jay tosses a rope down as they soon climb down to a nearby window and opens it before heading in they come up to a railing before he shushes them. In the main room, Skales, with a flashlight, moves in as the other Generals and fellow Serpentine follow him before he looks at a replica of The Charge of the Dark Brigade. "Boy, did they get that wrong!" Skales says and resumes moving along the museum.

"Why would we come to a museum if we weren't going to steal anything from it?" Acidicus asks.

"Because Master Garmadon has another plan to destroy the ninja." Fangtom says.

""Master Garmadon?" Ha! He's no master of mine since his so-called Mega Weapon has failed every time. I don't see why we don't call our own shots." Skales says.

"Because this time I will not fail." Garmadon says. The sudden appearance of Garmadon makes Skales drop his flashlight in front of him. 

Acidicus, Fangtom, and Skalidor bow down. "Yes, Lord Garmadon."

Skales reluctantly bows down as well. "Yes, Lord Garmadon." They soon rise and come closer.)

"Behold, Dromaeosaurid Theropod Grundalicus, otherwise known as the Grundle. Although now extinct, in its time, it was the most feared and dangerous creature in all of Ninjago, with claws that could slice through steel, heightened senses that could detect its prey from miles away. It could track the stealthiest of ninja, and once it had picked up your scent, there was no hiding from it." Garmadon says looking at the skeleton.

"The Grundle? I heard about them. Boy, am I glad we live in an age where we don't have to deal with those things?" Jay whispers chuckling from their hiding spot.
