In an abandoned subway car, the ninja search for a way to escape.

"It appears the explosion collapsed the subway tunnel." Zane says

"How deep down are we?" Kai questions

"I've been deeper." Cole replies

"Pft, I'm sorry," Reika laughs

Aria smacks both Reika and Cole.

"I didn't mean it like that!" Cole defends himself

"This old girl saved our lives! I told you they don't make them like they used to anymore." Jay knocks on the car but nearly causes it to collapse and Aria screams.

"Do. Not. Do that again!" Cole grabs his hand

"Sorry! Sorry." Jay backs away from the wall

"Ugh. Why can't you use your powers to clear the earth away?" Kai questions Cole

"This ground doesn't look too stable, but I'll try." Cole uses his powers, but the car becomes more unstable.

Aria screams again "Stop. Stop. Stop!"

Cole quickly stops and backs away.

"We all need to stay calm," Reika says placing her hands on Aria's shoulders

"Time to call for help." Kai puts on his hood "Nya? Come in. Nya, you there? I'm not getting a signal."

"The debris seems to be blocking our communications." Zane tells them

"Oh, great. Just great! I'm buried alive inside my favorite toy train!" Jay complains

"Kai, hand me your communicator, and I'll attempt to amplify the signal." Zane says

Kai hands it to him as the others try to come up with ideas.

"What if Aria turns into a dragon?" Jay suggests "Dragons are strong right?"

"Normally I would be able to," Aria replies "but I can't right now."

"Why not?" Kai questions

"I.. It's too dangerous," Aria tells him "I wouldn't be able to guarantee everyone's safety."

"Right," Cole nods "anything else."

The ninja shake their heads and tell Aria about their time in prison while Zane attempts to get a signal.

"P.I.X.A.L.! Can you hear me? P.I.X.A.L.?" Zane speaks

"Did you get a response?" Kai asks

"Zane! Thank goodness!" they heard P.I.X.A.L.'s response

The ninja hug and celebrate.

"P.I.X.A.L., our situation is dire. We are in need of immediate rescue." Zane tells her "We're trapped inside a subway car in a collapsed tunnel. Do you copy?"

"I copy. We'll figure something out. Stand by." came her reply

"Tell her to hurry! This thing isn't gonna hold up much longer." Cole says, as if on cue the car collapses even more. Aria screams and Cole covers her "Get down!"

"What do we do?" Jay asks

"Ow ow ow," Aria whines covering her stomach

"What's wrong?!" Cole panics

"We have to get out of here!" Reika shouts

"It hurts," Aria looks at Reika "I think something's wrong."

"What's wrong?!" Kai questions as he grabs her shoulders "Aria you need to tell us."

"Oh for the love of God, she's pregnant!" Reika blurts out "We found out while you all were in prison!"
