As the Destiny's Bounty  flies through stormy skies, Master Wu is meditating with the aid of his Spirit Smoke. The smoke shows him a vision of Pythor awakening the Great Devourer, causing Master Wu to come to a horrible realization.

Meanwhile, Kai, Nya, and Jay are in the dining room, with the four Fangblades on the table.

"I wonder why we have to go all the way to Torchfire Mountain to destroy the Fangblades" Nya said

"the blades are made from the Great Devourer's teeth, only the hottest place in all of Ninjago will be able to destroy them" Kai explained

At this point, Cole bursts in, looking rather ill from the ship's swaying after Jay has a laugh at his expense, talk turns to Lloyd.

"I still can't believe Lloyd is the Green Ninja" Jay said

"I was starting to think Aria was" Kai said

"Why?" Nya asked

"Well would've made sense since she hadn't unlocked her powers yet" Cole replied

"Yeah but the green ninja is Lloyd, not Aria" Nya said

"We still don't know what Aria's place is on the team, I'm starting to worry" Kai said

"Yeah, the kid's really upset about it, she's been a ninja in training longer then all of us" Jay added

"She'll find it eventually, just like we all did" Cole said

Meanwhile Lloyd himself is hard at work in the training room, attempting to hone his skills with little success.

"Well you tried" Aria said standing up from her sitting spot

"I'll get it eventually" Lloyd said walking over to her

"pathetic" a voice laughed

"Who said that" Aria said scared

"Coward" Lloyd said as Aria held onto his arm

Pythor grabs them, ties them to a punching bag, and duct tapes their mouth shut.

"Out of sight, out of mind," Pythor said and cloaks himself once again and moves deeper into the ship.

The storm passes as the Destiny's Bounty arrives over Torchfire Mountain, with Kai, Jay, Cole, and Zane meeting Master Wu on the deck with the Fangblades.

"You seem upset" Zane said to Master Wu

"I'm afraid I will not be able to see tomorrow." Wu said and the ninja looked at him confused

The ninja proceed to set up a plank from where they can throw the Fangblades into the volcano. Unfortunately, Pythor chooses that moment to sabotage the engines, jerking the ship to one side and throwing Master Wu over the edge.

The Ninja form a human chain to catch their teacher, with Kai barely hanging onto the plank with his feet. Nya reports the damage to the engine.

In the training room, Lloyd manages to get the tape off, he chewed on Aria's ropes until they broke. She took off her tape and ran to the mic.
