At the Destiny's Bounty, the ninja are training Lloyd. Y/N watches with his arms crossed, his crimson eyes watching intently.

WU: "Your new body is a fighting instrument. Listen to it."

The session begins with everyone attacking Lloyd and him dodging each one, all while his eyes are closed. But when he dodges Zane's shurikens, they end up hitting the watermelon Nya is carrying in. She shoots a glare at Zane, who gasps.

NYA: "Since he's grown, he's learning faster, Sensei

WU: "But will it be enough to challenge Lord Garmadon? Only time will tell."

Y/N: "He's not ready yet... but he will be faster than I originally expected."

Rouge, hearing this, playfully elbowed Y/N's side.

ROUGE: "Well, the kid isn't a little brat anymore, is he? He's actually more focused than what he originally was."

Y/N nodded to this.

Y/N: "Exactly. Now that he has a feeling of duty on his shoulders, he's put everything else off and solely focused on his training. It's much how I was when I was younger."

Kai draws his sword and although Lloyd blocks it, he doesn't stop the attack and falls.

KAI: "Hahaha, you're getting pretty good, but that move you fell for was basic 101."

LLOYD: "Yeah, if I had focused more when I was little, I would've seen that coming."

WU: "We cannot change the past, but we can improve for the future. Again, and this time, do not hold back."

Lloyd smirks as he was about to continue fighting, but the Falcon squawks as it returns to the Bounty. Everyone walks on deck as it lands on Zane's arm to perch.

ZANE: "The Falcon has returned with troubling news. What did you see, my mechanical-feathered friend?"

Zane takes the memory chip from inside the Falcon and inserts it into the Bounty's navigator, showing Garmadon preparing his forces.

NYA: "The Lost City of Ouroboros!"

KAI: "Garmadon has returned to the Serpentine home base, but why?"

Y/N: "Preparing for the next clash it appears between himself and Lloyd. Garmadon doesn't know when the Final Battle will happen, so he's making sure he's ready for when it happens." He lays a hand on Lloyd's shoulder. "You think you're up for this."

Lloyd nodded.

LLOYD: "I am."

Y/N frowns at that, but said nothing more.

WU: "Nya, change course. We'll head straight for them."

They all suit up, getting their respective weapons as the Bounty flies towards the Lost City.
