The Ninja are being chased by Morro's Dragon.

"Take positions" Wu orders

Jay fired the cannons at him, but missed "Aah! Let me get this straight. You're just telling us now that you had another pupil before us, and now his cursed spirit has possessed Lloyd, all so that he can take your staff?"

"Morro won't stop until he gets what he's after. There's a secret message engraved on it. All these years, I had no idea" Wu tells them

"Of course. Ha, just another day in Ninjago" Jay says sarcastically

Cole looked out "If this is as fast as the Bounty goes, I think we're in for some serious trouble"

Morro laughs as he lands on the Bounty.

"I need ink and parchment to make an imprint to see what's on the staff" Wu says

"Kai and I will take you to our quarters while Jay and Cole will keep him busy." Zane said

"Oh, that's honorable of you to nominate us" Cole says

Jay crossed his arms "Yeah, we didn't fare so hot last time. Why is it you get off with the easy task?"

"Because I'm the intelligent one" Zane replies as he, Kai, and Wu run away

"Ah fine, let's take this guy" Jay gives in

They fight him, Nya activates autopilot and runs off to help. Nya dodges Morro's attacks, which deflates the autopilot

"Oh, that's not good" The Ninja screams as the Bounty swerves.

Nya made her way to the steering wheel "Ugh. Come on, pull up. Pull up!"

Zane and Kai fought Morro, but Zane was hit in the head with a crate.

"Your team will fall apart without its Green leader" Morro tells Kai

"I'll lead them. And make sure you go down if it's the last thing I do. Sensei says you won't give up. Well, neither will I!" Kai shouts

As Cole and Jay help out, Nya turns on the boosters. The Bounty barely missed the mountain, making a hole in which Kai almost falls out of. Morro tries to make him fall by using his Wind.

"You want the staff? Take it!" Wu throws the staff out and Morro chases after it. Zane and Cole catches Kai before he falls out.

Morro laughs as they crash landed in the Forest of Tranquility. His laughing was inturrupted by another dragon slamming into him and roared. The ninja looked up.

"Hey guys I think that's Aria" Jay points out

"Well who else would be a black dragon?" Cole questions

After a brief fight between the two dragons Morro makes his escape. Aria lands in front of the ninja and turn back to her human form. She dusts off her skirt.

Kai went over to her and hugged her "Are you ok?"

Kai went over to her and hugged her "Are you ok?"

"yeah I'm fine, don't worry" Aria reassured him

"Okay so let's never do that again" Kai said turning to the ninja

"Ah, just think, if Sensei hadn't gotten rid of the staff, it could've been worse" Jay says

"why?" Aria questions

Cole sighs ignoring her "Yeah, but now we don't know the message"

"Not exactly. I managed to make an imprint" Wu showed them the symbols "My father told me long ago that he would leave a message, leading me to his final resting place. After he passed, I looked everywhere for it, not knowing it was in my hand all this time"

"Ok so these symbols will lead you guys to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master?" Aria asks picking up the paper

"Yes, only problem is I haven't the foggiest idea what any of them mean" Wu answers

Maybe Misako can help decipher the clues since she's a total history buff" Cole suggests

"P.I.X.A.L., release the Falcon and give her our location" Zane says and the Falcon flies off

"Good now-"

Wu was interrupted by a beeping noise, the ninja looked confused until Aria took out a communicator.

"Yes" Aria answered and they heard some screaming

"Princess their's a Vra-"

The communicator lost connection and Aria sighs "Looks like I'm needed back in the kingdom"

"What kingdom?" Zane questions

"Aria's kingdom" Kai answers and turns to Aria "well thanks for the save"

"Any time, but it wasn't really for you guys, I had my own reasons for it" Aria told them honestly "But I'm glad nobody's hurt, keep me updated?"

"you know we will" Wu told her

"Great, good luck boys" Aria smiled

"Be careful" Cole told her

Aria smirked "I never am" she gave Kai a kiss before leaving

Jay looks confused "ok.. but what kingdom?"
