At the City of Ouroboros, two Venomaris are having a Slither Pit fight when a rattlecopter interrupted them. Chokun sets up a carpet, chair, umbrella, and puts a cocktail umbrella in a cup for Garmadon.

Chokun: Yup. Ready!

Garmadon: Ah. It's so bright. I never understood how your kind could live in such heat.

Skalidor: Lord Garmadon, what brings you to our humble dwelling?

Garmadon: The ninja may have destroyed my Mega Weapon, but I have an ingenious new plan.

Skales: (Whispering to Skalidor) Are we sssstill allowing him to be in charge of us?

Garmadon: Earlier, when pirates mutinied our ship and locked us in the brig, Captain Soto's journal mentioned they have been looking for a fabled dark island created out of evil itself. Once we find it, its concentrated dark powers will help me—I mean, us! We could rule Ninjago together!

Skales: Oh, please. You're having us chase after fairy tales, now?

Garmadon: Not fairy tales, but a real place that existed long before any of us were around. A place full of untold power.

Skalidor: Untold power? Count me in!

Garmadon: A place dripping with evil!

Skalidor: Evil. Sounds nice!

Garmadon: I'm looking for a few brave snakes. Who'll join me?

Fangtom, Acidicus, and Skalidor: Aye!

Skales: Oh!

They go back into the rattlecopter.

At the Destiny's Bounty, the ninja are sleeping, but the alarm clock starts blaring, waking them up.

Cole: Ugh. (He hits his head on the top bunk.)

Jay: Uh, Aah! (He falls off his bed.)

Kai throws something at the clock, making it hit a gramophone and makes it louder. The ninja groans, but Zane, being a Nindroid, is unaffected by the noise. Acid tried to hit it with his acidic spray but misses and made a hole in the wall. Lloyd uses his Energy to shut it off.

Lloyd: Is it Wednesday already?

Jay: Sunrise exercise. I hate sunrise exercise.

Wu: (Comes in, ringing a mini 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.

Cole: Uh, what was that, Sensei?

Kai: (Simultaneously) Did I hear an SOS call come in?

Zane: (Simultaneously) I sense I need to be somewhere else.

Acid: I gotta go eat. Somewhere else.

Jay: Lloyd, haha. I'm sure you got this, heh.

Lloyd: 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: (Sighs) You're right, Lloyd. We need to settle this like men. With a round of Rock, Paper, Clamp! Okay, on three! One, two, three!

Lloyd chooses rock but everyone else chose paper.

Jay: Haha, paper beats rock!

Acid: you loose.

Lloyd: (Groans) How does paper beat rock? (Lloyd prepares to clean up the dragon.) I always have to do the dirty work.

Cole: Hey, having a pet dragon requires a lot of responsibility.

Jay: Didn't your mom ever let you have a pet?
