The Ninja used R.E.X. to traverse under the Endless Sea.

"We're almost to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master" Zane informed the others

"Yeah. Can't believe we're almost there after all we've been through" Cole said

"I can't believe I'm underwater" Kai comments

"You? What about me? Just how this is this glass?" Cole taps the glass a couple times.

Wu appears on screen "We're heading to your location now. With Morro already ahead of you and able to foresee the traps protecting the tomb with the Sword of Sanctuary, it's going to be up to you four to find the Realm Crystal before he does"

"Hehe, Cole's a Ghost, Kai can't swim, we have no magical sword, and all of us have no Elemental Powers" Jay laughs nervously "What could go wrong?"

Misako appears on screen as well "I may not know the three tests you're about to face, but I discovered a riddle that makes reference to it that may help: A Spinjitzu Master can. A Spinjitzu Master cannot. To move forward, don't look ahead, to find his resting spot."

"Huh. That's food for thought" Cole says

Jay sees a Leviathan and gulps "Speaking of food, we're about to be some!"

The Leviathan cracks R.E.X.'s glass and Kai whines "Why did the tomb have to be underwater?"

"Hold on!" Zane shouts steering R.E.X through rocks that the Leviathan gets stuck in. Everyone cheers.

The Ninja arrive at the tomb's entrance.

"If you wanna hide a tomb, this looks like a good place. We're here" Cole says as they exited

Jay picks up a cloth left behind by Morro "Argh! There goes any hope Morro couldn't find this place"

"Hey, stay positive. We're about to risk our lives going through traps we know nothing about. All we have to rely on is each other. At least feel luck we got this far" Kai said

"Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. What was I thinking? Hey, there goes any hope Morro couldn't find the tomb! We're not alone! Yay! Now we're gonna have to fight him again! Sure we got our tails handed to us last time, but you never know in the future, because Ninja never quit!" Jay's voice goes back to a normal tone "Better?"

Zane points to a statue "Look"

"The First Spinjitzu Master. Creator of all Ninjago" Cole says in awe

They bow in respect as the ship speaks "Destination reached. Auto return initiated"

"Auto return? No, no! Bad, R.E.X.! Bad!" Jay shouts

They chase after R.E.X., but it submerges underwater.

"Our Aeroblade weapons were in there" Zane says

"Not to mention our only way back" Kai sighs

"Hey, stay positive! Who needs a way back when we gotta go that way?" Jay gestors to the tomb

"No sword, no powers, no problem. We can do this as long as we got each other, right?" Kai questions

They go to the first test and see doors with symbols on each.

"Ooh! Why did it have to be tests?" Jay complains "Why can't the tomb just be protected by Dragons? We're good with Dragons."

"I think we're supposed to pick a door, but which one?" Kai questions

"Um, what was it Misako said?" Jay asks

"A Spinjitzu Master can. A Spinjitzu Master cannot. To move forward, don't look ahead, to find his resting spot" Zane reminds them
