"Wake up, Zane. I know where you come from."

Zane awoke, hitting his head on the top bunk before he got up out of bed. He looked out the window and spotted the falcon fly past. Still in his pyjamas, Zane left the boys' shared room and entered the bridge finding only Sensei and Nya. "The hunt starts early today."

Sensei replied first, "A watchful eye never sleeps." Nya continued, "As long as Lloyd and the Serpentine roam freely, no one in Ninjago is safe."

"Where are the others?"

"Training on the upper deck." Zane left the bridge and walked onto the upper deck only to discover the other four weren't there. He could only find the falcon. "You were in my dream, little friend. Last time I saw you, you led me to good fortune. What reason have you returned?" He watched the falcon fly away, not noticing the shadow sneaking up on him. But he soon realises.

"Lord Garmadon. But you were banished."

"Only to return for the Weapons of Spinjitzu. Soon I will have the power to recreate Ninjago in my own image." Garmadon pulled out two katanas and swiped at Zane, who jumped over him, pulling out his shurikens simultaneously. "Give me your Shurikens of Ice."

"You'll have to take them from me. Ninja, go!" Zane quickly countered. He started using Spinjitzu and spun towards Garmadon only to be caught by the throat mid-spin and tossed into a junk pile losing his shurikens. "So be it." Garmadon cut a nearby rope with one of his katanas, sending a box plummeting down onto Zane. However, the box was caught halfway by the Green Ninja. 

"The Green Ninja. The legend's true."

Garmadon and the Green Ninja began to fight. The Green Ninja hit Garmadon many times and avoided attacks from the latter. The Green Ninja started performing Spinjitzu around the mast of the Bounty, they hadn't noticed though was Garmadon picking up a piece of junk and throwing it at the Green Ninja. 

That piece of junk was pushed off the railings with a beam of light and another figure appeared next to the Green Ninja. Zane was confused, he knew one person who could summon a light beam.

"Aurora, are you the Silver Ninja?" Zane got no response as both ninja began fighting the Dark Lord again. The Green Ninja managed to summon the nunchucks of lightning, using them to knock Garmadon to the floor. The Silver Ninja kicked Lord Garmadon off the ship, ending the battle. 

Zane looked away from where Garmadon fell and back at the two ninja. The Green Ninja had flames in their eyes and on their right hand, resting the falcon on their left arm. The Silver Ninja had glowing white eyes and light resting in their palm. 

Zane stood up, "Who are you both? Kai, Aurora, is that you?" Images of the falcon flying past began blocking Zane's vision. "What's the meaning of this? Who are you, Green Ninja? Who are you, Silver Ninja" Multiple falcons appeared on the deck.

And then Zane woke up.

He sat up quickly, hitting his head on the top bunk. Jay, facing the other way, started speaking when he heard Zane wake up. "Oh, sleeping in? You're gonna be late for training."

Zane sat on the edge of his bunk bed. "Oh, how come no one awakened me?"

Kai spoke next, "We didn't think you wanted us to. You looked like you were having some dream."

"How do I know this isn't a dream—" He was cut off by Cole hitting him in the face with a pillow. "Does that feel like a dream?"

"No. Thank you for your help." The three other boys laughed at his comment.
