[A/N]: didn't do the news never sleeps because I didn't feel like I need to.

Jay, chained to a wall, is reading Boobytraps and How to Survive Them.

Jay: That Clutch Powers guy might have run off to save himself, stranding us here, but I have to admit: his book is pretty good! (He hears a rumble.) It has a section for everything. Even "What To Do When All is Lost" (The ninja are all shown to be chained to the wall.) He recommends vocal exercises, like: "Brobrogoo-goo!". (Lloyd turns to look at him.) Brobrogoo-goo!

Lloyd: How is saying a bunch of nonsense possibly going to help us?

Jay: It says that it keeps you calm by relaxing your face. (At a lower pitch.) Brobrogoo-goo! Brobrogoo-goo! Brobrogoo-goo! Brobrogoo-goo!

Zane: (Simultaneously) Perhaps Clutch didn't abandon us. Perhaps he went to seek help.

Nya: Sure! And maybe the evil snake queen we just accidentally released from an ancient tomb is headed for Ninjago City for some sightseeing!

Zane: I find that highly unlikely.

Nya: We need to update your sarcasm circuits, Zane. If we get out of here.

Acid: we will.

Cole: We wouldn't even be hanging here if Jay hadn't opened that crypt!

Jay: Me?! Zane's the one that didn't warn us in time! (He sighs.) Brobrogoo-goo.

Lloyd: How can you blame Zane?! Who opens a possibly cursed tomb without checking it out first?!

Jay: (Grabs the chain and slightly pulls Lloyd downward.) Opening a tomb is how you check it out! (He pulls the chain lower.) And what about Kai, hmm? (Kai is shown to still be unconscious.) He's the one who let Aspheera steal his power!

Kai is flipped upside down by Jay.

Nya: Hey! Watch it!

Jay smiles sheepishly.

Lloyd: She's right. How's he doing, Zane?

Zane: (He scans Kai.) His vitals are stable. He should recover shortly.

Lloyd: Good. Now we just have to figure a way out of here. Any ideas?

Acid: (eyes turn purple) nope. (Eyes turn back)

Jay: (Gasps) Maybe there's something in Clutch's book! He's got a chapter entitled "Escaping from Close Calls."

Cole: Really? What does it say?

Jay: Uh. Let me check. (He starts reading the book. Torches in the room slowly start to burn out. The room turns pitch black for a moment.) Aw, great! Now I can't even see! (An orange glow lights up the room.) Oh. That's better!

Nya: Uh, Jay? Not better! (She points towards the lava.)

The lava is starting to fill the room.

Jay: (Panicking.) Incoming lava! Don't panic! Clutch has a whole chapter on rising lava. I just have to turn to that page. (The book falls into the lava.) Gah! Oh, that book was our only hope!

Acid: (sighs) no I am. (Rip the chain off the wall)

Jay: Yeeaa-aah! (The ninja are dangling from the wall, partially attached to the chain and near the lava. Acid tries pulling them up.) Oh, thank you Acid! I'm sorry about earlier!

Acid: all is forgiven.

He swings them, along with himself, onto a platform.

Ninja: (They groan in pain.)
