The ninja attempt to open a closed door, while Ripper Sharks ram at the glass behind them.

Lloyd: We've gotta get out of here!

Nya: This isn't gonna hold!

Jay: There's no handle! How do we open this thing?

Lloyd: Look for some kind of switch or pressure plate!

Maya: Ugh, there's nothing! Lloyd, look out!

The sharks break the glass and Toge dodges out of the way rolling next to Nya. Toge and Nya uses her their to push them back, when suddenly the door opens briefly, then shuts the sharks out.

Benthomaar: Are you okay?

Nya: Who are you?

Benthomaar: Benthomaar, the King's son. His... adopted son.

Lloyd: We didn't attack the King!

Benthomaar: I know. It was Kalmaar.

Nya: Is the King...

Benthomaar: He's... he's...

He shakes his head.

Toge: I'm sorry.

Just then, Ripper Sharks bang at the doors.

Benthomaar: We don't have long. Follow me! I have to get you out of here.

Jay: Where are you taking us?

Benthomaar: The hangar bay. Your vessel was taken there.

The stop at a corner, where they see some Maaray Guards.

Benthomaar: Wait here. I'll get them to leave.

Jay: Are we sure we can trust this guy?

Nya: No, but he didn't have to help us.

The Maaray Guards leave and Benthomaar waves the ninja over.

Zane: What did you tell them?

Benthomaar: I told them that Kalmaar sent for them. By the time he finds out I lied, we'll be long gone. Follow me.

They enter the hangar bay to find multiple guards.

Benthomaar: Oh. Hello. Um, these are my friends, from out of town!

Jay: Don't worry, I got this. Hi, we're visiting from another underwater city! Heh, not the surface. It's called, um, uh, Bubbletubblepopolis! Yeah! You know, it's pretty far away, you probably haven't heard of it. (Whispering to Benthomaar) I think they bought it.

A guard blasts at him.

Jay: Whoa! This is no way to treat a tourist!

Zane struggles to take a trident from a guard, but ends up accidentally hitting a tank containing manta rays.

Zane: The citizens of Bubbletubblepopolis will not be pleased! This will affect... your tourism!

Lloyd leaps into an APS suit and attacks the guards, while the others fight them on the ground.

Nya: Mom!

She points at a guard behind Maya.

Maya kicks the guard away.

Maya: What?

Nya: Mm, nothing.

P.I.X.A.L.: I'll start up the sub!

In the throne room, Kalmaar picks up his blue trident, and strikes it on the ground, turning its glow red.

Kalmaar: That's more like it.
