—JAY: "OH, THAT'S OUR SHIP!"

—Lloyd: "But pirates?"

—Cole: "Pirates haven't been around for centuries."

—Zane: "I sense Lord Garmadon is somehow behind this."

—Lloyd: "How are we gonna follow them?

Kai holds out the bus token.

—Kai: "Perhaps this can be of some use. I can't believe I'm saying this, but follow that ship! Ugh, I don't like the kid coming along. It's too dangerous."

—Lloyd: "Please, please, please. I'll be super good."

—Zane: "The powers inside you are still too great, too uncontrollable."

—Cole: "One of these days you'll be able to join us. Sorry kid."

Lloyd groans.

—Me: "I'll stay and protect Lloyd."

Lloyd's face suddenly brightened.

'Is that kid bipolar...?'

[...]

—Lloyd: "[Y/n] look! Dareth is about to fall!"

He pointed at the ship where Dareth was being held in a plank.

—Me: "Lloyd... how about we take a ride on your brand new dragon?"

Lloyd (baby-)smirks.

[...]

Dareth is pushed out of the plank.

—Dareth: "Ahh—!"

I catch him in my arms as Lloyd was leading the dragon. Dareth gasps and hugs me.

—Dareth: "My hero!"

—Me: "Uhh..."

—Jay: "Hey! Get off of her!"

Jay angrily yells from the ship. The ninja then switch to their gis with Spinjitzu.

As the Ninja fought the pirates, Lloyd jumps down to the ship.

—Lloyd: "Ninja, go!"

—Me: "Lloyd!"

I sigh and jump after him. I began fighting some pirates with my Nichirin Blade.

Lloyd uses his green energy.

—Kai: "Lloyd! Don't! Your powers are too uncontrollable!"

—Lloyd: "Aah!"

The ship's mast falls on top of the ninja.

—Soto: "You lose, Pajama People."

—Ninja: "Huh?"

—Soto: "Now you're walking the plank."

—Me: "I don't think so."

I place my katana in his neck while Nya arrives in her Samurai Mech and frees the boys from under the mast.

—Jay: "Who wins Pirates and Ninja? The Samurai and the Slayer!"

Nya chuckled and I smiled. Jay sighs at the sight.

[...]

—Police: "Good work, team."

—Kai: "Don't forget to include this guy."

He gives Lloyd a noogie and Lloyd chuckles.

—Police: "Uh, that your ship?"

—Jay: "It sure is."

We look up to see Garmadon taking over the ship.

—Garmadon: "Sorry, you snooze, you lose!"

—Kai: "Lord Garmadon!"

—Lloyd: "Dad!"

—Garmadon: "You're becoming stronger, son, but you'll never be strong enough to defeat me. Give up, before it's too late!"

Lloyd looks at the ninja before looking back at his father; he stands by his friends.

—Garmadon: "Have it your way. Another day, ninja. Another day."

—Jay: "Ah, great. Lord Garmadon is back, and now he's got our ship."

—Cole: "Well, at least we've got this little guy."

Garmadon laughs as he flies away.

Dareth whistles and tries to sneak-attack Jay but Jay grunts and flips Dareth.

—Dareth: "Dareth: Oh, come on, guys. I Dareth you to forgive me."

The Ninja and Dareth laugh.
