(In the Monastery, in the courtyard Kai is training with Ray by sparring.)
Ray: (Pants.) How was that? Your old man still—still has awesome moves.
Kai: Real great, Dad. But we're just sparring for Master Wu's little research project, so, don't hurt yourself, okay?
Wu: (On top of the Golden Dragon statue.) It's a valuable opportunity, to study the effect of elemental powers on a former master. But, sparring isn't what I had in mind. Uh, Kai, would you kindly direct a burst of fire at Ray?
Ray: Uh, what now?
(Kai ignites his hand, which causes Ray to scream and duck and Wu to chuckle. Just then, Cole enters the courtyard with Izzy on his shoulder.)
Cole: Master Wu!
Izzy: We have something important to tell you!
Wu: (Annoyed tone.) What is it, you two?
Cole: Nya and the others are back at the Island of the Keepers.
Izzy: But get this: The Storm Amuelt has be stolen and it's at the Explorer's Club!
Wu: The Explorer's Club? (He jumps down from the statue.) How is that possible?
Kai: Who would possibly be foolish enough to do that?
Izzy: (She and Cole look at each other.) We'll give you three guesses who.
(Meanwhile, in Ninjago City, at the Explorers Club, Clutch Powers is giving a presentation to Percy, Smythe, and Underhill)
Clutch: I, Clutch Powers, am proud to present to you, the fabled Storm Amulet of Wojira! (He presents the Amulet to the group.) Which I am generously donating to the club's permanent collection along with these images of the expedition. (He turns on a slideshow depicting a drawing of himself and the ninja, but the images are poorly drawn.)
Percy Shippelton: (He clears his throat and raises his hand.) Why are these slides so ... cartoonish?
Clutch: What? Oh, you mean why are they detailed illustrations instead of photographs? Well, that is due to the, uh, loss of my camera, which fell overboard during our daring escape.
Smythe: A reasonable explanation. Continue.
Clutch: (He changes the slides.) Oh, now this image depicts me single-handedly conquering a beast of the sea, while my fearful companions were rendered helpless. (The group claps.)
Percy: Ah, yes, jolly good show.
Smythe: Oh, I dare say. This sojourn might qualify you for thee coveted Explorer of the Year reward.
Clutch: Explorer of the Year? No, I -- I'm not familiar with the title. Heh, nor have I dreamed about winning it every single day of my adult life. But if you insist on nominating me ...
Underhill: Something would have to go dreadfully wrong for us not to. (Clutch proudly switches the projections off.)
(Meanwhile, at the Island of the Keepers, the ninja are on top of the Hydro Bounty, discussing their next move.)
Nya: Kalmaar's right. This is my fault.
Maya: Don't give up, Nya. Zane will get the controls fixed. There's hope.
Zane: There is no hope. (He climbs out of the Hydro Bounty.) I've assessed the damage and it is beyond repair.
Jay: Which means we're stranded.
