Aria sat in her room staring at her newly fixed locket. Kai came in and patted her on the shoulder. She blinked and looked up at him.
"hey kiddo, you ok?" He asks
"yeah, don't worry" Aria replies smiling
"Nya found out that it's possible to reverse the effects by of a Fangpyre bite without the anti-venom by raising the victim's heartrate" Kai told her
"that's great" Aria smiles
"if you don't mind me asking, where'd you get that locket from? I've never seen you take it off" Kai asks curiously
"My mother gave it to me on my 5th birthday, it was the only real gift she ever gave me." Aria answers sadly as she put her hand around her locket
"So that's why you lost it when Lloyd broke it" Kai says and Aria nods "I.. looked inside.. was that a picture of your family.. including your father?"
Aria nods slowly "Yes, my father."

Aria walked into the bridge to see the other ninjas staring at Jay who was dressed all fancy.
"...so what'd I miss?" Aria asks
"Didn't you hear? I'm taking Nya to a nice restaurant. A really nice restaurant" Jay brags
"Good for you" Aria smiles "I'm happy at least one of you are trying to get a girlfriend"
"You might wanna change your plans. The bridge just picked up evidence of Serpentine activity over at Mega Monster Amusement Park" Kai says as the monitor shows a photo of Serpentine in the park.
"Hey, that's Pythor" Jay says
"Thanks captain obvious," Aria says sarcastically
"Pythor would not be there for fun. We believe a Fangblade may be buried underneath the park" Zane suspects
Jay whines "Oh, but my date..."
"Jay, if they get all four of them, Pythor can unleash the Great Devourer. Get your priorities straight, man" Kai says
"let's suite up boys" Aria commands
-
Jay arranges his date with Nya there so he can fight, and have the date. Meanwhile, the other Ninja go to the ghost ride, where they find the Serpentine who have already dug up the first Fangblade.
The ninja, except Jay, arrive and attack the Serpentine.
"Watch and learn, brothers" Zane uses his True Potential, but accidentally freezes Cole and Kai "Oops"
The snakes laugh and run away.
"Zane, unfreeze them!" Aria panics
"Aria go after them!" Cole shouts
"Right" Aria runs out
Aria saw Jay come out of the restaurant looking like a snake
"Jay, what happened to you?" Aria asks
"I pricked my hand on a fangpyre tooth and now i'm turning into a snake" Jay explains with panic in his voice
"Nya's in trouble!" Aria points behind him
Jay turned around to see Nya was chained her to a roller coaster which had heavily damaged tracks. Aria and Jay ran over, Aria distracted the serpentine at the bottom while Jay gets on the roller coaster to help Nya but was unable to untie her.
"Where's Samurai X when you need him, he's got to come!" Jay shouts
"He's not coming" Nya says
"why not!?!" Jay questions
"Because I'm the Samurai" Nya reveals
"what! And here I was trying to impress you" Jay says sadly
"Jay, Nya doesn't care about that stuff, you're special and unique. That's what makes you a good ninja, you're loyal and always trying to lift everyone's spirits with a joke, Jay you don't need to impress anyone!" Aria shouts from below
"she's right, you don't have to try to impress me or anyone else, I like you how you are" Nya says before she kisses Jay, raising his heartbeat and turning back into a human. With that he unlocks his True Potential and with increased strength, and saves them.
"Yay" Aria cheers
Jay and Nya got down from the coater and looked at the serpentine picking themselves off the floor and running away.
"Nice job Aria" Jay praises
"Looks like the special training is paying off" Nya said
"Not really, I'm just really good at kicking and punching" Aria smiles "and biting"
Jay ruffles her hair "you are one tough little girl"
-
The Ninja meet up at the Park's entrance.
"You really had me fooled. I never guessed you were the Samurai" Zane says
"Technically, I was the first to discover her secret, and didn't we agree whoever we thought was the best would naturally be the Green Ninja? Huh? The Green Ninja! The destined Ninja to defeat Lord Garmadon, huh?" Kai mocks
"Sorry boys but if you were going off that Aria would win," Nya tells them with a smile
"What!" They shout
Nya shrugs "yeah Aria found me sneaking in one day but said she wouldn't tell anyone"
"B-but when we were fighting the other day Aria went to fight you," Jay says
"What can I say, I needed some practice" Aria laughs
"So does this mean Aria will be the Green Ninja?" Zane questions
"No," Aria shakes her head "I was never destined to be something so great."
"Come on kid," Kai puts his arm around her "you're destiny could be bigger then you could even imagine."
Jay smiles "Well you know what I learned today?
"What's that?" Nya questions
"No matter what kind of secret you have, whether you're a snake or a samurai, it's important to be yourself" Jay replies "All thanks to Nya and Aria"
"Yeah, that's cute, but you wanna know what I learned? The Serpentine now have the first Fangblade!" Cole shouts
"But we are getting stronger. One day, we will all reach our True Potential and Pythor will be stopped" Zane says
Jay smiles "And we figured out all this without Sensei. Pretty good for five Ninja" Nya punches him "And a Samurai"
Aria shrugs "I wonder what sensei's doing right now"
