After the Ninja were saved by Ronin's airship, R.E.X. Ronin prepared a special message telling them about the real location of the tomb, and also apologizing for nearly getting them killed.

The ninja are now traveling underwater to their resting place of the First Spinjtizu Master. "We're almost to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master," Zane uttered, like Kai and Cole, he was looking out the glass window.

"I can't believe we're almost there, after all the weird crap we've been through," Anna said, she sat on one of the chairs, leaning back.

"I can't believe I'm underwater," Kai breathed out, his voice was shaking as he watched a fish swim by.

Cole raised a brow and scoffed "You? What about me? Just how thick is this glass?" he questioned, tapping on the glass a couple of times.

Anna turns to look at the screen as Wu explains "We're heading to your location now. With Morro already ahead of you and able to foresee the traps protecting the tomb with the Sword of Sanctuary, it's going to be up to you five to find the Realm Crystal before he does,"

Jay laughed nervously, Anna rolls her eyes, it was time to hear another of his complaints. "Hehe, Cole's a Ghost, Kai can't swim, I'm losing my sanity, we have no magical sword, The only one of us who has elemental powers is Anna, Not to mention She and Zane are practically the only normal people here, We have no idea of what the traps even are or if Morro's there to off us the minute we step out of this airship, which also has limited air supply!" he yelled and laughs nervously again. "What could go wrong?"

"I may not know the three tests you're about to face, but I discovered a riddle that makes reference to it that may help," Misako said, off-screen

Anna stood up "What's that?" she asked

"A Spinjitzu Master can. A Spinjitzu Master cannot. To move forward, don't look ahead, to find his resting spot." Misako responded

"Huh," Cole uttered "That's food for thought,"

Jay sees a Leviathan and gulps. "Speaking of food, we're about to be some!" He yelled. Anna cried as the leviathan tried to grab R.E.X but failed and it the ship started spinning "Woah!"

The ninja were tossed up and down while Cole, who is on the driving seat, remained in place "Faster," Anna said "We have to go faster. Much faster," the Leviathan got a grip of the R.E.X again and Cole, pulls a lever, making the ship so faster, Lunging at the airship again, the Leviathan cracks R.E.X.'s glass. "Why did the tomb have to be underwater?" Kai cried

"Ugh! What kind of weapons is this thing equipped with?" Jay asked, "Maybe there's a manual for that,"

"Why would Ronin need a handbook to fly his Ship?!" Kai snapped. Then in the middle of Jay and Kai's argument, Zane ordered "We don't need weapons. Aim for that rock!"

Cole nodded "On it," He steers the ship through a small gap between a rock and just as expected, the Leviathan follows them but gets stuck due to the gap being too small.

"Yeah! All right! Thatta Boy, R.E.X.! Thatta boy!" Jay cheered.

Then After a few more minutes, the Airship reaches it destination, Anna's eyes slightly widen as she glanced out the glass. "If you wanna hide a tomb, this looks like a good place," Cole said "We're here,"

The Ninja exited the ship and Jay finds a piece of forest green clothing on a plant "Argh! There goes any hope Morro couldn't find this place," He groaned

"Hey, stay positive," Kai uttered "We're about to risk our lives going through traps we know nothing about. All we have to rely on is each other,"

"At least feel lucky that we even got here," Anna said, "In One Piece,"

"Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. What was I thinking?" Jay exclaimed and then says in a sarcastic tone "Hey, there goes any hope Morro couldn't find the tomb! We're not alone! Yay! Now we're gonna have to fight him again! Sure we got our tails handed to us last time, but you never know in the future, because ninja never quit!" He snapped and went back to his normal one "Better?" he asked

Kai and Anna exchange glances, but Kai just shrugged saying "Eh, I'll take it,"

Anna turned around when she heard Zane say something "Look!" She started in awe at a statue of the First Spinjitzu Master

"The First Spinjitzu Master. Creator of all Ninjago," Cole breathed out.

Then, out of nowhere the ship's door closes "Destination reached. Auto return initiated," The ninja, except quickly ran over to the Airship but it already submerges itself underwater.

"Our Aeroblade weapons were in there," Zane reminded.

"Ugh, not to mention our only way back," Cole added, with a huff. "Hey, stay positive! Who needs a way back when we gotta go that way?" Jay questions, pointing at a door, Cole couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or real

"No sword, no powers, no problem. We can do this, guys. As long as we got each other, right?" Kai asked

Anna, after being quiet for a while walks over to them "Sibling sharpens Sibling," she remarked. With that, the ninja march towards the door, leading to the Tomb of the first Spinjitzu Master.
