The Falcon squawks as Zane and Wu look through binoculars and spots another island.

"Hmm, most peculiar. Yesterday there was just ocean, but now there is an island" Zane said

Aria walked out onto the deck

"It's the Dark Island" Aria said going to stand next to Lloyd

"It's the Dark Island" Aria said going to stand next to Lloyd

Wu nodded "And what I find more peculiar is after Ninjago City was attacked by the Stone Army, today they have vanished"

"Do you think they are on this Dark Island? Garmadon may be responsible" Zane suggested

"I fear that too. But what's most important is we have to find out what is on that island" Wu said

"Perhaps my Falcon can have a look" Zane sends the Falcon off. The Ninja are working on the Destiny's Bounty.

Jay gets splashed with oil; groans "Ugh, useless pile of junk."

"Oh, it's worse than I feared. The rotors on the starboard booster are completely destroyed. The port boosters are shot from the strain. Oh, sorry guys. She's not getting airborne anytime soon" Nya informed them

"So if the Stone Army attacks again, we're sitting ducks" Cole groaned

"Uh, ducks can fly, Cole. Weren't you listening?" Jay asked sarcastically and Aria hit him upside the head

"Ow" Jay rubbed his head

"You know I actually missed Aria being here every time something stupid came out of his mouth" Cole laughed

"We just got out tails handed to us and we couldn't even stop one of them. Ugh, I hate feeling helpless" Kai said annoyed

Lloyd sighed "The Stone Army is indestructible. At best, all my powers could do was slow them down"

"That's not entirely true. There is a way to defeat them. And it is told within the scrolls" Misako said 

"I'm going to go check on the people, go listen to Misako" Aria said going off the ship

A boy about 17 or 18 ran up to Aria and hugged her "Princess I'm glad you're ok, I was so worried"

"shh" Aria said grabbing his arm and moving to the other side of the ship where nobody could see

"I'm glad your safe Alexander, how's Sensei" Aria questioned

"Sensei died a couple hours after you left" The boy answered sadly

" Shit" Aria looked off at the island

"Princess without the old master you're the only one left to take over" Alexander said

Aria sighed "I understand that, but I have other things I need to take care of right now"

"Is something bad going to happen?" he asked

"I'm afraid so, I think Garmadon awakened my dad" Aria replied

"The King is back?" Alexander questioned happily

"Yes but he will only make things worse, the balance of good and evil is thrown off. The balance needs to be restored" Aria answered

"I understand" Alexander said sadly

"After the final battle takes place I will reorganize our side of Ninjago, I will set basic rules before I leave and finish later" Aria ordered

Alexander bowed "yes princess Aria"

With the Bounty set on the dock, the Ninja say goodbye to everyone before heading off.

"Sensei I will meet you all there, I have something to take care of before I set off" Aria informed him

"Are you sure you will be able to get there?" Wu questioned worried

"Yes don't worry" Aria smiled

Aria hugged all the ninja 

"I can't believe we just got reunited and you're leaving us again" Lloyd said sadly

"yeah Aria can't you come with us?" Jay asked

Aria shook her head "I'm sorry boys I have business to take care of before I depart, I will see you all on the island soon"

Everyone cheers as the Bounty departs. The ninja all wave to everyone and Lloyd watched Aria sadly.

"Jay! Did you make sure to pack clean underwear?!" Edna shouted

"Yes, mom!" Jay shouts and everyone laughs at him.

Aria laughed and shouted "Did you wash them first!"

"Aria!" Jay shouted embarrassed and everyone laughed more

When the Bounty disappeared from sight Aria turned to Alexander seriously "Let's go"
