After the incident in Stiix, Morro drags himself out of the ocean. Unsure of how he survived being pulled into the sea after having already accepted his fate. Dazed and unsure of what to do or where to go from here. He runs into a familiar face from his teenage years, Ronin. Conversations are had, some unresolved feelings are brought to the surface. One thing leads to another and the two head back to Ninjago city to get Morro some medical attention. (This is not to beginning of their story, nor is it the end.)
