The ferry arrived at Chen's island, with the elemental masters watching.

"Look at that." Cole said, amazed.

"Awesome." Kai gasped.

"Let me see." Karloff grunted, pushing the master of fire.

"Do you mind?" He scowled, annoyed.

Clouse's people pulled out a plank and placed it down, making it available to walk on the island. "Welcome to Chen's Island. The tournament of elements welcome its brave fighters. Master Chen will be pleased you've returned, Sensei Garmadon." Clouse nodded, walking towards the temple.

"The pleasure is all mine, Clouse."

"I'm sure it is."

"Definitely feeling some tension between you two." Jay whispered in Garmadon's ear.

"Yeah, and how is it we're on an island I've never seen on any map?" The red ninja asked.

"And care to explain how the face to Ninjago's most popular is secretly assembling an underground fighting tournament?" Cole added, frowning.

"Master Chen used to be a friend. Now he's a traitor. During the serpentine wars, Chen turned against his own kind and sided with the treacherous snakes."

"The battle you and uncle Wu fought together in? He was an enemy?" Lloyd asked, surpised.

"He used deception to divide the Elemental Masters. We barely defeated the serpentine, and in a deal for his surrender, Chen was to never leave this island. Little did we know, he'd begin to build his criminal empire from here." Garmadon explained, as they walk towards the temple as well.

"He may have divided our ancestors, but he's not gonna divide us." Y/n smiled, as Skylor walked off the ferry lastly.

"Uh...ladies first." Kai muttered and awkwardly pushed the ninja aside. After Skylor passed them, he spoke up again; "Fire will melt her icy heart. Just wait." 

Garmadon sighs, as everyone stops in front of the door.

"This is a big island. could be anywhere. Keep an eye out." Cole informed, as the doors opened and everyone walked in.

"So this is the house that noodles built." Jay said, chuckling.

"Ha! Always wanted to go to a red carpet event." Y/n added.

"Chen lives like a king. Here, he's totally self-sufficient. The only way on or off this island is with his permission, which you have to earn." Garmadon stated, walking in.

"You never told me about this place. How do you know so much about this island?" Lloyd asked.

"Because before Chen was my enemy, he was my Sensei." Sensei shows them his anacondrai tattoo.

The elemental masters arrive inside the palace and sit in a circle. "You never told me you had a Sensei." The green ninja whispered to his father.

"When I was your age, I sought a darker means of guidance. He taught me to win at all cost, no matter who I hurt. It wasn't until you saved me that I saw the light."

Jay spoke up from Garmadon's other side, "Uh, apparently he also never taught you to have a sense of humor. Lighten up, we're in an underground fight club. This is supposed to be fun."

One of his men bangs a gong and a gramophone plays music.

"All rise for Master Chen." Clouse bowed, making the elemental masters stand up.
