In Ninjago City where the ninja are rebuilding the town.

Cole: Ugh, finally. All fixed up and Serpentine free.

Kai: (Tries to use Fire but fails) Aargh. Ugh, this is frustrating.

The street sign tips over but Acid caught it in time.

Cole and Jay: Aah!

Kai: Our weapons are gone and most of our elemental powers are gone. I mean, we can still do Spinjitzu, but...(Grunts. He tries to use his Fire again, but the only flame coming out was from Zane's blowtorch.) I just feel so, I don't know, limited. And thanks to the Devourer, our tank's out of commission, our Dragon's hurt, and now the Bounty is destroyed, we don't even have a place to sleep.

Acid: heh. Now you know. How I feel.

Kai: how so?

Acid: I never had. Elemental powers. Mine are. Just the serpentine's. Powers

Jay: yeah but those are still cool though.

Acid: I guess. you're right.

Zane: well Kai No one ever said being a hero is easy. (Takes off his welding mask) Though our good deeds may never make us rich, they make us rich in other ways.

Kai: Yeah, well, I don't feel rich.

Jay: Ugh. I for one enjoy pitching in. I've always wanted to feel part of a community. Uh, speaking of which, anyone seen Nya? She said she was gonna help.

Nya: (Arriving on a motorbike) And I have. I may have found us a place to live.

Jay: Really? But there's a waiting list a mile long to live in Ninjago City. How did you do that?

Nya: I know a guy, who knows a girl, and she knows this girl who knows a guy. Well, this guy knows a girl who's a real estate agent and she can help you find a place, if you catch my drift. (She hands him a pamphlet.)

Acid: that's a lot. Of people. Who knows. Other people.

Jay: And where are you off to?

Wu: We have to find a couple of components to fix the ninja tank. And my dragon ointment has finally arrived. It's a day's trip, but once we get back, he'll be flying again. Also, I love scenic drives. Haha, punch it, Nya!

Nya: Ay ay, Sensei.

Wu: Yee-haw!

Jay: (Reading the pamphlet) "Patty Keys, Real Estate Queen." Huh, this is exactly what we need. Once we get a roof over our head, we can start properly training Lloyd.

Acid: and get. Something to. Eat.

Jay: yeah ... Zane got any clues about that?

Zane: yes, I have gotten a sample of the devourer and thanks to Acid, some of his.

Acid: what did. You find out?

Zane: it seems that you have its genetics. That's why you are a snake and have an insatiable appetite. There is something else but I have no clues about that.

Acid: wait. Back up. You're saying. I have. The devourer's genetics?

Zane: yes.

Cole: so that means.

Acid: I'm the. Son of the. Great devourer.

They all had a moment of silence for the realization but Acid's eyes turned completely purple then back without anyone noticing.

Cole: I'm sorry for your loss, Acid.

Acid: thanks but. She tried to. Hurt us. So I don't care.

The ninja are shocked but it seems like Acid doesn't want to talk about it anymore and they all continued working
