The Ninja have begun training Lloyd, Jay tripped and fell on top of Aria who was just sitting in the corner reading a book. This happened several times where everyone kept knocking into her.
"THAT'S IT" Aria screams
She slams her book shut and stands up, making all the male ninjas freeze in fear
"hehe ...sorry" Jay laughs nervously
"Out!" Aria shouts
Kai looks at her "but-"
"OUT" Aria screams
The ninja all pile out the door before she slammed it shut.
"...did we really just let a 10 year old kick us out of our place?" Kai questions
"Well.. she is a princess." Zane says "Technically.. she outrank's us."
"whoops" Cole sweat drops
"never bother Aria while she's reading" Lloyd shivers and the others nod in agreement
-
Aria was brought to a dojo that the ninja said they were able to borrow from a man named Dareth. Wu had instructed them to bring her so he could train her. The ninja stood in the main Dojo training Lloyd while Wu brought Aria into one of the private rooms.
"Great just what I needed" Aria looks annoyed "another small room"
"One on one training is what you need" Wu sips his tea "you said you were nervous about hurting the other ninja, I thought training away from them would calm your nerves"
"well now I'm just afraid of hurting you" Aria sighs
"Let's begin" Wu smiles "first, demonstrate your spinjitzu. I'm sure you can at least do this"
"of course" Aria smiles
She takes her stance and does spinjitzu, her purple color was well defined. She stopped and faced Wu.
Wu nods "very good, see that wasn't hard was it?"
"of course not, you've taught me how to use spinjitzu since I was 7" Aria says happily
"and what does that tell you?" Wu asks
"...huh?" Aria looks confused
"your capability to do spinjitzu reflects your will as a ninja" Wu tells her
"what does spinjitzu have to do with me being a ninja?" Aria questions "sensei Garmadon and Misako can do spinjitzu"
"ah that is true, but spinjitzu can only be mastered by those with the will" Wu sips his tea "if you have the will to learn then mastering such a technique will not be hard"
"you're saying I was able to master spinjitzu.. because I wanted to?" Aria asks confused
"precisely" Wu nods "when you became my pupil all those years ago you wanted to master spinjitzu, their were many times you failed and you were frustrated with yourself. Many times you just walked off and went to bed, but I would always wake up in the middle of the night to see you practicing. My student, you have a long way to go, but I know from the bottom of my old heart, that you will succeed past my expectations."
Aria wiped away the tears that fell down her face "You believe in me.. that much"
"of course" Wu rubs her head "you're a special little girl and you're destined for greatness, but the choice to chase it, is yours"
They hear screaming outside
"We will have to continue this later" Wu says worriedly
"y-yes" Aria quickly wipes away her tears
The two run outside with the other ninja, their's a flying pirate ship.
"Oh, that's our ship!" Jay shouts
"But pirates?" Lloyd questions confused
"Pirates haven't been around for centuries" Aria comments
"I sense Lord Garmadon is somehow behind this" Zane suggests
Kai holds out a bus token "Perhaps this can be of some use" he gets on the bus "I can't believe I'm saying this, but follow that ship!" Kai goes down, he looks at Lloyd and Aria "Ugh, I don't like the kids coming along. It's too dangerous"
"Please, please, please. I'll be super good" Lloyd begs
"your powers are still too great and too uncontrollable" Zane says
"Exactly, one of these days you'll be able to join us. Sorry kids" Cole apologizes
"But I've been on plenty of missions" Aria whines
The Ninja climbs onto the bus's roof except for Lloyd and Aria. The bus takes off and Aria whispers something in Lloyd's ear, he nods and they run off.
-
Dareth gets on board first, convinced that if he stops the Pirates he'll be allowed to be the Brown Ninja. He is soon captured, and the Ninja decide to sneak on dressed up as Pirates. On board, Dareth is forced to walk the plank.
He confesses that all his trophies are fake and his brown belt is colored before falling off, only to be caught by the Ultra Dragon, who is being driven by Lloyd and Aria. The Ninja shed their disguises and fight against the Pirates using their wooden weapons.
Lloyd drops in.
"Lloyd don't fight" Kai puts him in a barrel
Meanwhile Garmadon and his crew ran out to see the ninja fighting the pirates. Lloyd was stuck in the barrel still.
"Ninja, go!" Lloyd uses Spinjitzu and breaks free of his barrel "Whoa, Spinjitzu! I just did Spinjitzu for the first time!" Soto kicks Lloyd, who flips the switch before the anchor
Kai hit a gas tanker "Whoo, haha!"
"My son. He's growing stronger" Garmadon says sadly
Lloyd uses his Energy.
"Lloyd! Don't!" Aria shouts from the ultra dragon
"Aah!" Lloyd looses control and the ship's mast falls on top of the Ninja.
"You lose, Pajama People" Soto points his sword at them
"Lloyd!" Aria shouted as she jumped down from the ultra dragon "you're an idiot" she says before kicking a pirate in the face and another in the gut
"yes! that's my Aria" Lloyd cheers
Aria turns and looks at him, her face was red "Idiot! Who said I'm yours!"
"M-My best friend!" Lloyd blushes
Nya, in her Samurai Mech, comes to put the mast back in place, freeing the Ninja.
"Who wins between pirates and Ninja? It's Samurai" Jay laughs
-
The pirates are being placed in police cars.
"Uh, that your ship?" The police ask
"It sure is" Jay replies happily before Aria pointed behind him
Garmadon had taken control of the ship again "Sorry, you snooze, you lose"
"Lord Garmadon!" Kai shouts
"Dad!" Lloyd shouts
"Sensei!" Aria shouts
"You're becoming stronger, son, but you'll never be strong enough to defeat me. Give up, before it's too late" Garmadon says, Lloyd looks at the Ninja before looking back at his father; he stands by his friends "Have it your way. Another day, Ninja. Another day" Garmadon flies away
Dareth whistles and tries to sneak-attack Jay. Aria notices and flips Dareth.
"Nice assist" Jay smiles in approval
"Oh, come on, guys. I Dareth you to forgive me" Dareth says
The Ninja and Dareth laugh.
