Aria sat in her room staring at her hands. Kai came in and patted her on the shoulder. She blinked and looked at him.

"hey kiddo, you ok?" he asked

"yeah, don't worry Kai" Aria replied smiling

"so 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 said

"if you don't mind me asking, where'd you get that locket from? I've never seen you take it off" Kai asked

"My mother gave it to me on my 5th birthday, it was the last time I saw her" Aria said sadly as she put her hand around her locket

"So that's why you lost it when Lloyd broke it" Kai said and Aria nodded

The Ninja find out that the Serpentine are at the amusement park, so Jay arranges his date with Nya there so he can fight, and have the date. During Jay and Nya's date, Jay finds out he is turning into a snake due to the bite and heads towards the restroom. 

Meanwhile, the other Ninja go to the ghost ride, where they find the Serpentine who have already dug up the first Fangblade. Zane accidentally freezes himself and the other 2 ninja while he is in NRG mode, which allowed the Serpentine to escape.

"My apologies" Zane said

"you missed me" Aria laughed and the other ninjas shook their heads at her

"Aria go after them" Cole commanded

"Right" Aria said running out

When Jay comes out of the bathroom, he can't find Nya. The customers of the restaurant think Jay is a snake due to him turning into a Fangpyre so they attack him. Jay goes to the bathroom and comes out with a scarf on his face so he can escape. 

"Jay what happened to you" Aria asked when she spotted him

"I pricked my hand on a fangpyre tooth and now i'm turning into a snake" Jay said with panic in his voice

"Jay look, Nya's in trouble" Aria said pointing 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 shouted

"He's not coming" Nya said

"why not!?!" Jay questioned

"Because I'm the Samurai" Nya revealed

"what! And here I was trying to impress you" Jay said 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 shouted from below

"she's right, you don't have to try to impress me or anyone else, I like you how you are" Nya said 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 Jay" Aria cheered from below

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 praised

"Looks like the special training is paying off" Nya said

"Not really, I'm just really good at kicking and punching" Aria shrugged

"What about spinjitzu? Can you do that yet?" Jay asked and Aria shook her head no

"You'll get it eventually" Nya said patting her head

"I really wanna know what my powers are, we got fire, lightning, earth, and ice. So what am I?" Aria questioned looking at her hands

"well whatever it is I'm sure it's amazing" Jay said hugging her

"thanks Jay" Aria smiled hugging him back
