Nya summons her Elemental Water and uses it to act as stepping pads, as she jumps towards Wojira and Kalmaar. The corrupted King commands Wojira to charge at her, and just when the giant sea serpent reaches her, the Water Ninja leaps into the air and attacks him with her Water.
He deflects the attack with his trident. She lands on the sea serpent's snout, and uses her water to attack him again, but he jumps up high into the air and she does the same. She opts for a kick, but his trident whacks her down, causing her to land on the Wave Amulet.
He lands back down and prepares to strike her, but she backflips out of the way and he ends up striking the Wave Amulet instead. A strong, red pulse emits from the Wave Amulet the second he hits it, and it hits her. She falls, but saves herself with her Water. Wojira roars and blasts her, but she narrowingly misses the Water Ninja.
Nya growls with determination, and heads towards the sea serpent and Kalmaar again.
"Uh, teensy problem, guys." Jay mutters into his radio from the inside of his destroyed sub car. "I've got a bad leak and no control." No answer. "Lloyd? Zane? Anyone?!"
The controls inside his sub car spark electricity, and the power goes down. Water immediately begins to fill up from the inside. He sucks in a breath. "Okay. Okay. Looks like we're going for a swim. Eject!"
He presses his fist down on the eject button, but it doesn't work. He huffs with frustration and continuously presses it. "Oh come on! Why won't you eject?!"
He was waist-deep in water now. And now he was left with no way out. "Oh, not good. Think! What would Zane do? Actually, no. Think. What would Kai do?" He begins using his arms and legs to hit the glass door of his sub car. Maybe if he hit the glass hard enough, it'll break and he'll be granted the way out.
"Come...on....!"
He'll be damned if he didn't make it out of here before he drowned in his sub car.
"Everyone, listen up! Nya's not going to hold off Wojira for much longer! We need to regroup!" Wu advises the Ninja and Benthomaar through his comm. From underwater, Lloyd, Zane and Kai nod from their water crafts, but were stopped by a horde of Maaray guards on their manta rays.
"Any suggestions, Zane? What's our best course of action?" Lloyd asks the Ice Ninja.
"I have run three million simulations, and the outcome of all of them is the same. We will lose." Zane says.
The Fire Ninja, however, was ready to fight the Maaray guards. "Ninja never quit!"
"No, but a wise ninja knows when to retreat, and now is that time." Wu advises him. "Everyone, fall back."
"Fire!" All at once, the manta rays fire a plethora of torpedoes towards the three Ninja.
"You heard Master Wu. Let's get out of here!" Lloyd, Zane and Kai turn their watercrafts around and retreat at high speed.
As the Bounty continues to sail slowly across the water, Wu turns towards Pixal. "Pixal, we have to get these people to safety." He tells her.
"Kalmaar is unlikely to allow us to retreat, and at this speed, we have little chance of outrunning him." She explains. Both he and Keres hum thoughtfully, before the inner demon's eyes settle on the news building. She points her hand towards it.
"There!" Wu and Pixal spot the building as well. "Pixal, set course for that building and turn on the autopilot. I have an idea."
