In the middle of the sea, a ship is sailing through a thunderstorm.

Captain: Secure that jib, band those hatches, and for the love of Pete, somebody tie those barrels down!

Mariano: Aye aye, cap!

The captain is nearly swept off the ship, holding onto the railing.

Captain: Kwon, get the wheel!

Kwon climbs up and grabs the wheel, but is swept into the water.

Kwon: Over here! Help!

Mariano: Man overboard! Man overboard!

Captain: Mariano, the spotlight! Collins, toss the life buoys! Boys, quick! Kwon! Where is he? Do you see him?

Mariano: Kwon! Kwon!

Collins: Where are you? Kwon! Huh?

A blue light glows from beneath the surface.

Captain: What was that?

Under the sea, a rising up a giant amphibious-like water creature, swims toward Kwon.

Mariano: Kwon!

The dragon rises from the ocean with Kwon in her mouth.

Captain: Look out! It's coming!

Mariano: It's got Kwon!

The amphibious-like water creature sets Kwon on the boat.

Kwon: You saved me. Thank you!

Water Creature: You're welcome.

Mariano: I- I know that voice.

Captain: Yes. Toge! It sounded like Toge the ninja!

Water Creature: Toge?

He flies above the ship before diving into the sea.

Kwon: Thank you, Toge.

In the Endless Sea, the amphibious-like water creature swims, speaking out loud.

Water Ceature: Toge. Toge? Do I know that name? I think I do. Toge. Yes. I do. Toge, from Ninjago. And there was someone else. Wasn't there? Who was it? Who?

A bright light appears, which turns into Nyad in her water form.

Nyad: Hello my Tome.

Water Creature: Who are you?

Nyad: I am one with the sea. Like you.

Water Creature: One, with the sea? I've heard that before.

Nyad: I've been watching you. You saved that man who fell off a boat. Why did you do that?

Water Creature: Because it was the right thing to do.

Nyad: Right? Many have fallen into the sea. Many are lost and do not return. It is neither right, nor wrong. It is simply the way of the sea. Yet, you interfered. Why?

Water Creature: It's who I am.

Nyad: And who is that?

Dragon: I- I don't know. I think I've forgotten. I lost something.

Nyad: Perhaps you will find it again my Tome. Most things turn up eventually. They either sink to the bottom, or float to the surface.

Water Creature: The bottom?

Nyad: Come see.

Water Creature: Wait. Wait for me!

Nyad: See? Is this what you're looking for?
