The Falcon squawks as Zane and Wu look through binoculars and spot the Dark Island.

"Hmm, most peculiar. Yesterday there was just ocean, but now there is an island." "The Dark Island, Zane. And what I find more peculiar is after Ninjago City was attacked by the Stone Army, today they have vanished." "Do you think they are on this Dark Island? Garmadon may be responsible." "I fear that too. But what's most important is we have to find out what is on that island." "Perhaps my Falcon can have a look."

Zane sends the Falcon off. The ninja are working on the Destiny's Bounty. Jay gets splashed with oil; groans.

"Ugh, useless pile of junk." "Oh, it's worse than I feared. The rotors on the starboard booster are completely destroyed. The port boosters are shot from the strain. Oh, sorry guys. She's not getting airborne anytime soon." "Redson, think you can help out?" "Why would I, Redson, help the peasants out with this?" "Because I'm asking you as your sister."

Redson sighed before walking over to help.

"So if the Stone Army attacks again, we're sitting ducks." "Uh, ducks can fly, Cole. Weren't you listening?" "We just got our tails handed to us and we couldn't even stop one of them. Ugh, I hate feeling helpless." "We mustn't give up hope, Kai." "But the Stone Army is indestructible. You saw it. At best, all my powers could do was slow them down." "That's not entirely true. There is a way to defeat them. And it is told within the scrolls."

Everyone, minus Redson, heads inside the Bounty and Misako shows them the scroll.

"The prophecy reveals that the power to defeat the Stone Army-" "-lies within the Green Ninja. There is truth to that." "I tried. I gave them everything I had." "Yes, but you are stronger than you think. Look. The true power of the Green Ninja can only be unlocked when his four protectors find their own pure elemental powers." "Are we the protectors?" "Pfft, silly question. Of course we are. Haha, right?" "You are, but Melissa is the grand protector of Lloyd as the Silver Warrior." "If we are the protectors, then we're doomed. Our elemental Golden Weapons no longer exist. We cannot tap into our elemental powers without them." " But the powers do exist within each of you. And there is a way to unlock your powers on your own.-" "We must go to the Temple of Light. A temple I am not permitted to enter. The darkness within me is not welcomed in there. People like me can't enter it without extreme pain."

An idea came to Misako's mind.

I could use this to kill her, you should not have said that (Name). Now it will be your downfall.

She silently laughed at her plan.

"Temple of Light? What's that?" "The gold in the Golden Weapons was from the Golden Peaks, but they were forged in the Temple of Light, a powerful place I thought only existed in legend." "It's on the Dark Island?" "Yes, it is." "So we get our powers back? All right!" "But there's still one big problem: The Bounty can't fly." "It's a ship, right? Can't it sail?" "Silly question. Of course it can. Haha, right?" "Shade." "On it Cole."

Shade smacks Jay upside the head.

With the Bounty set on the dock, the ninja say goodbye to everyone before heading off.

"Now promise me you'll eat your vegetables." "Mom!" "Oh, I mean it. You get sluggish when you don't get enough vitamins. Ed, tell him if he's gonna save the world, he has to eat his vegetables." "Uh, do what your mother says."

"I  don't know what to say." "You don't have to say anything." "Promise me one thing though my son." "What is it dad?" "If you are gonna die, don't die till you have your first kiss. Okay son?" "DAD!"
