In Jamanakai Village, where some kids are playing soccer.

"Come on. You're in. Ha, you can't catch me.

The kid wearing a red shirt ends up piled on by two kids.

"Oh. Here I go."

Another kid kicks ball over the other kids.

"Whoa." "Oh, yeah. Good one."

The kid at the wall tries to grab the ball, but falls back as the ball hits the wall. Some of the kids cheer, while others look on in defeat as the Destiny's Bounty, repainted to its original state, flies by. On deck, Lloyd looks at the kid below and sighs.

"Lloyd? Lloyd! Concentrate!

Lloyd just looks at Kai.

"Now that the Bounty is in our possession again, we can train you more effectively. But you'll have to focus. One more time." "Oh, but we've been training all day." "It's all to get you ready to face your father. Now, in position."

Lloyd sighs as he comes up to the middle of the deck as the ninja put their hoods on and yawns before posing as they did so as well. Lloyd sighs.

"Whatever."

Kai charges at Lloyd first, but he punches him, knocking him back and yawns again. Zane and Jay soon come at him from the air.

"Ninja, go!"

Lloyd does Spinjitzu, knocking them both down. As Lloyd lands, Cole comes up him from behind and slide kicks him, knocking him into the air. As he spins, Lloyd lands facedown as the others take off their hoods, in concern.

"That was fun. Are we done?" "Oh, come on. You're better than this. What's on your mind?"

Lloyd gets up and takes a deep breath.

"Well...The latest issue of Starfarer just came in at Doomsday Comix and it's a limited run, so if I don't go out and get it, it's going to sell out. Last they left off, intergalactic rogue Fritz Donnegan was surrounded by the Imperial Sludge, and if I don't find out if he gets out alright, I think I might have my own doomsday." "The fate of Ninjago rests on your shoulders. As the Green Ninja, you have a giant responsibility to hold. I'm sorry, but you don't have time for such childish things. We still don't know who the Silver Warrior is."

A spiral of flames erupts from the deck of the Bounty. The ninja push Lloyd behind them and get out their weapons.

"That's because the Silver Warrior is one of you five."

An unfamiliar voice says from within the fire. When it faded away, they saw a guy with red hair tied into a high ponytail, a section of it stands up at his widows peak with a yellow highlight resembling fire. He also has a 'X' shaped scar on his right cheek and a red dot on his forehead. Behind him was (Name).

"MOM!"

Lloyd says as he runs and hugs her.

"Hello my son, Red... be nice to him." "(Name), who is he?" "My youngest sibling, Redson. A fire demon." "What does he mean by one of us is the Silver Warrior?" "What my little sibling said is not true. It's none of you. Lloyd, why don't you go and play with these toys. The Silver Warrior will show themselves one day."

(Name)'s shadow says as some toys from her world come out of her shadows.

"Thanks mom!"

Lloyd takes the toys and runs off to play with them. Shade comes up to the deck and hugs his mother.

"It's good to see you again mother." "It is nice to see you as well my son."

Redson rolls his eyes and turns her attention to the ninja.
