The Kabuki served the fighters food.

"Try the horned wasp eggs" Chen suggested "Delicious!"

"Uh, I think I'll pass" Lloyd said suspiciously

"Oh, lighten up, Green Ninja. This isn't a trick. This is a feast to celebrate the eight of you making it to the second round" Chen said and the Kabuki laugh "And I must congratulate the Master of Shadow's defeat over Master of Poison. She was a bit hard to swallow, am I right?" The Kabuki laugh "Laugh harder! Hahahaha!" They forced a harder laugh.

"Relax, Lloyd" Aria said taking his hand "everything's fine"

"Yeah even if there was a fight, now that we told the others about Chen's dirty plot to steal our Powers, we're safe in our secret alliance" Kai said

Griffin walked over "I tried to enlist Shadow, but that dude's throwing some serious shade"

"Well, if you plan to stop Chen, you'll need everyone on board. Each fighter that loses gives him strength. Soon he'll be too powerful for even all of you combined to overcome." Garmadon instructed

"I'm more concerned about my powers right now" Aria said

"What's wrong with your powers?" Garmadon questioned

"Something doesn't feel right" Aria answered "when I try to use them it feels like their's something else"

"Continue meditating and see if you can find it, other then that how's your training? Have you tried turning into your dragon form?" Garmadon asked

"As in having my horns?" Aria questioned

"No I mean your dragon, dragon form" Garmadon clarified "like your father's dragon form"

"So I can go full on dragon like him?" Aria questioned

"Of course, you are his daughter, you have dragon blood in you. You just need to unlock your form and be able to transform" Garmadon replied

A Kabuki retrieves the fortune cookies.

"It has come to my attention that there are rumors floating about that I am stealing everyone's power. I am" Chen says and the Masters gasps "But it's all for this staff" He claps, and the Kabuki waves their hand fans "No, no. Not you, staff. I mean my real staff" Everyone gasps as the staff is brought to him "The Staff of Elements. It holds the power of your fallen foes, and soon it'll hold all but one. For the last standing in my tournament will win this prize and be the greatest fighter ever in the history in Ninjago!"

Everyone whispers.

"My bet is on the Dark Lord" Chen said

Aria sighed "Master please don't say that"

Lloyd stood up "you lied. What about the spell?"

"Spell? What spell?" Clouse questioned

"Don't believe him, it's just another trick. Neuro read Clouse's mind and saw it. Tell them what you saw, Neuro" Lloyd said turning to Neuro

Clouse stares at Neuro "I—I don't remember. Truthfully, I'm a bit more interested in knowing more about that staff"

"And why should we be so quick to believe everything you say? How do we know you're not lying to get the staff for yourself?" Griffin questions(Skylor reads Cole's message and gasps.)

"So much for the alliance" Aria shrugged "It's fine I work alone"

"You're a ninja Aria" Kai said

"Yeah but most of the time I show up to save your asses" Aria crossed her arms

A Kabuki starts fanning too close to Jay "If we're gonna convince anyone, argh, we need proof. Ugh. We need too, oh, find that spell. Would you cut it out!?"
