Skales and Pythor are in the desert, digging.

"We're wasting our time, Pythor. There's nothing here but sand and dust." "Keep digging. The Lost City of Ouroboros is under us. I know it." "Oh, face it, your first attempt to unite the tribes failed, and now that you have lost your flock, you've become desperate." "I am desperate, my disloyal number two, but only to bring our kind together so that we can unleash the Great Devourer." "You put too much faith in legends. Besides, all the Serpentine know is to be at war with one another."

Pythor finds a dial and laughs.

"Skales, I believe we've found it."

He turns the dial and the City emerges.

"I present to you the city formerly known as the Lost City of Ouroboros."

The Destiny's Bounty passes a mountain as the Postman, on a bicycle with improvised wings emerges above from the clouds, holding a parcel.

"Wait! Slow down! I have packages for Sensei Wu and (Name)!"

"First, I'll stomp on his tail. Then when he turns, a thunder clap to his ears. Then when he's stunned, I'll disarm him." "Too late, he's already hypnotized you and now you're under his control." "Or he's already put you in a squeeze." "Or spit on you with his hallucinatory venom. Trust me, bad stuff."

Lloyd groans.

"Uncle, what's the best way to stun a Serpentine if you don't know what kind they are?"

Wu and (Name) shared a look before looking to the boys.

"Sadly, it was the Sacred Flute you four carelessly lost." "Hey, no, no, no, we didn't lose it. Pythor stole it." "Whatever the case, without it I fear we have nothing to combat their powers. We may have prevented them from uniting in the past, but they will try again, and one day they will be stronger." "Don't worry. I've almost reached my Full Potential, and when I become the Green Ninja, we're not gonna need any magic flute." "You're gonna be the Green Ninja? Hahaha, don't make me laugh." "I thought it was decided that I was destined to become the Green Ninja." "Oh! The only thing decided about you, Zane, is that you're weird."

Wu holds the box one of (Name)'s shadow clones handed him. The ninja start arguing.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's in the box?" "Your new uniforms."

The ninja gasp in awe. Shade took the box his had for him. His box was bigger and heavier.

"Whoa! They've got, like, armor." "I love the gold highlights." "Battle claws!" "The material is really light and breathable." "Mine is very heavy, little help Cole?" "Oh, sure thing."

Cole held Shade's box.

"Why is yours heavier?" "His is armor for a warrior. I had someone close to me make it. I hope you enjoy it my son." "I will. Thanks mom."

Shade hugged his mother quickly.

"Oh, nothing for me?" "Um, you get, uh, the box."

The alarm turns off.

"Sorry to break up the moment, boys, but a small faction of our slithering friends are stirring up trouble at Mega Monster Amusement Park." "Amusement park? Can I go? Can I go with you, please? Let me make things up. I can help." "I'm sorry, nephew. You will stay here, where it's safe." "Indeed son, you can stay with me and listen to my stories."

Lloyd hugged his mom closely.

"Alright mom." "What do you say, guys? Time to try out the new merchandise?" "Cole, you still have to teach me it." "I know dude. When we get back from this mission, I will."
