The Devourer swallows Pythor and Wu, the Devourer spots them. Lloyd grabs Aria's hand.

Jay looked nervous "Oh, maybe if we stand perfectly still..."

"Run!" Kai shouts

The ninja take off and climb aboard the Bounty.

"There's no wind. And we only have reserved fuel" Lloyd said

"Use it" Nya commanded and they took off with the Devourer following

"I don't feel like becoming snake food" Aria said seeing the Devourer gaining on them

"Uh, hate to tell you this, but objects in the mirror are closer than they appear!" Jay shouted panicking

"Working on it. Blasters on full" Nya said

Kai threw something at the snake "Whoo-hoo! Take that, you stupid snake"

The Devourer ate it and moved faster

"Uh, I think it heard you" Jay said nervously

"Go faster" Aria commanded

"We're going as fast as we can. I'll try to make it to Scattered Canyon" Nya said

"Probability of us making it that far is less than 8 percent" ZAne informed

"not now Zane!" Aria shouted as her eyes teared up

Lloyd hugged her "We're losing speed. We'll drop to the ground pretty soon"

"Throw everything overboard" Nya commanded "We need to lose some weight"

"Port side!" Lloyd shouted and the Ninja begin throwing out many things including a fridge only for the Devourer to eat it all and grow exponentially.

"Man, he sure is hungry. Does anyone else think the Devourer looks bigger than it did before?" Jay questions

"The more it consumes, the bigger it gets. Don't throw anything else overboard" Cole said

"Phew. We made it to Scattered Canyons" Nya said

"we lost him" Cole relaxed before The Devourer bites off an engine.

Aria screamed a they started to fall

"Abandon ship!" Nya shouted

The ninja jump off and hide under a walk, the Ninja watch as the Great Devourer bites their home in half, quickly leaving the scene afterwards

"Oh, that was too intense. All that action makes you so thirsty"  Kai huffed

"There's no time to rest. We need to warn people before it becomes bigger" Zane said

Jay freaked out "Bigger? Bigger!? That thing in one big bite crushed our entire ship! We need to save as many as we can. Uh, uh, we'll find some kind of refuge, somewhere safe to hide. Ooh, the Serpentine Tombs. Yeah, they're underground. Sure, we'll be without sunlight, but they're perfect"

Aria slapped him so hard his head turned "get ahold of yourself Jay!"

"ow" Jay said rubbing his cheek

Kai looked at it closely "it even left a hand print, damn Aria did you have to slap him that hard"

"I had to knock some sense into him, we can't just give up" Aria said "This isn't want Sensei Wu would've wanted"

"But he's not here anymore" Lloyd said and they looked down while Aria shook her head

Aria stood in front of everyone "But his teachings live on. Sensei once told me it's not the size of a Ninja in a fight, it's the size of the fight in the Ninja, obviously cause of my height. But all this training, all of these battles we've had with skeletons and Serpentine. We've persevered through so much, we can't just give up now. A Ninja never admits defeat. A Ninja always pick themselves up when they're down. Which is exactly what Sensei Wu would want us to do right now"
