They reached the Dark Island, but are on the lookout for the Stone Army. Wu gasps before looking to (Name), who wore a concerned look.

"This whole island is swarming with Garmadon's indestructible Stone Army." "Ha! Good thing we're ninja and we know how to hide." "Not if you are loud Jay." "Oh, right." "Who wants to hide when you can fight? I'm getting tired of having our heads buried in the sand. I wanna fight these guys." "But Cole, they have no apparent weakness. It would be unwise to start a fight we cannot finish." "Aside from when mother threw Melissa at a certain spot." "True Shade, true." "That is why we must find the Temple of Light."

They go in the Destiny's Bounty, where Misako explains the scrolls.

"The scrolls say there is a hidden temple on the island. If you find it, it will give the ninja pure elemental powers, powers that can destroy the indestructible army." "So you're saying we get to fight? Whoo-hoo! I've got happy feet!" "And you, Lloyd, here it is written: For once the Green Ninja finds the instrument of peace, he will strike it and know the power of the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master." "Ultimate Spinjitzu Master?" "Some of your grandfather's power." "Right. It means you will be able to invoke the power of the Golden Dragon, an ancient fighting style only practiced by the First Spinjitzu Master."

Misako didn't like it that (Name) was right. Everyone, minus the demons and Melissa and Shade, looks at him, surprised.

"Hahaha. Jealous?" "Uh, wait a minute. This all sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?" "The catch is, the Temple could be anywhere on the island, and all we have is this."

Wu gives Dr. Julien a medallion with three holes.

"A medallion. It's like a compass. When the three holes match up, the medallion will reveal where the temple is hidden." "Uh, how'd you know that?" "Oh, I did a lot of reading in my spare time. Adventure stories were my favorite." "(Name), do you know where it could be?" "No, sadly I do not. He thought it would be better if I didn't encase it happened again." "Smart."

Zane takes the medallion.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Wu and (Name) stops Lloyd.

"Not you, Lloyd/son." "Ah, seriously? Are we still doing this?" "Wu is right. If you were to come across your father, it could prematurely start the Final Battle. We need to be at full strength before we take any risks." "You can stay with us and get to know your grand protector." "Hahaha. Jealous?" "Well, I could use some help around the shop. We should get working on vehicles that might help give us a fighting chance." "Remember, Garmadon doesn't know we're on the island. It's imperative that you stay out of sight." "That's my specialty."

Shade said smugly.

"Of course, Sensei. Don't worry. Have you ever known us to veer from a plan, huh?" "Shade." "On it Kai."

Shade smacks Jay upside the head as Lloyd, Wu, (Name)'s shadow and Misako looks at them, not amused.

"Ninja—" "Shh! Not so loud. Are you trying to get us caught?" "...go.

The team, minus Lloyd, whispered.

At Garmadon's camp, a Stone Swordsman brings in a box of Dark Matter. Georgia was whispering something to Kozu.

"Make sure she touches it."

Kozu nods before walking towards Garmadon. A Stone Swordsman was speaking to Garmadon in their native language. Georgia slithers over to him.

"What did he say, General Kozu?" "The mining, they've dug to new depths and have struck Dark Matter."

Kozu grabs the box and brings it to Garmadon.
