The Destiny's Bounty is flying through a storm.In the dining room, Kai, Nya and Jay are keeping watch over the four silver Fangblades. Aria and Lloyd are down in the training room, Aria sat against the wall watching Lloyd train.

"Serpentine, it's time I Spinjitzu you back into the filthy holes you came from. Ninja kick! Tiger claw! Ninja, go!" Lloyd attempts Spinjitzu but falls.

"Well you tried" Aria stood up, she walked over and held her hand out to him

Lloyd takes her hand "I'll get it eventually"

They heard laughing

"w-who's there?" Aria looks scared

"What a joke. You were always a boy who chased stupid dreams" Pythor turns visible

Lloyd moved Aria behind him "Pythor! How did you get aboard?"

Pythor picks them up "You think I would allow the Ninja to steal the Fangblades from me?"

Lloyd growled "Ugh! You'll never get away with it! Hey—" 

Pythor puts tape over their mouths and ties them to chair "Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. As they say, out of sight, out of mind" he disappears as he laughs

Aria soon slipped out of her ropes and untied Lloyd, he uncovers the tape from his mouth as Aria ran out of the room.

Lloyd reaches the intercom "Pythor's on board!"

His message echoes over the ship. Aria reached the deck to see the ninja and hanging on over the edge. Lloyd ran out after her.

"Oh look, such a pity" Pythor says

Lloyd ran at him and attempted to kick him, Pythor just moved out of the way. While he was laughing at Lloyd, Aria managed to kick Pythor in the face.

"Nice Aria" Kai calls out

"You two are pathetic" Pythor hits Aria with his tail sending her into Lloyd

"Oh we're not trying to win, we're only stalling" Lloyd says as the Samurai Mech appeared behind Pythor

"Aria you can get off Lloyd now" Cole calls out

Aria notices she was laying on top of Lloyd's stomach and stood up. Lloyd got up and laughed a bit.  Pythor dodges the mech's attacks jumps off the Bounty and lands on a Rattlecopter. The Ninja fall, but Nya in her Samurai X suite catches them. 

As the Ninja prepare to go after the Serpentine, Lloyd brings the Golden Weapons.

"If Pythor returns the Fangblades to the City of Ouroboros, he'll awaken the Great Devourer" Wu says "we need to go after him"

"Oh, what about me?" Lloyd questions

"We need you and Aria to stay with the Bounty" Kai replies

Aria whines "No fair why-"

"-can't we go" Lloyd finished

"Stop doing that you two, it's creepy" Jay says

The kids shrug with an annoyed look on their face

"Patience Lloyd. You're too important now that you're the chosen one" Kai pats his head

Wu smiles "Patience, hmm? Ah, the student has become the teacher"

"Ninja, go!" The ninja jump off and summon their vehicles with Nya and Sensei following.

"Lloyd do you even know how to fly the bounty?" Aria questions as Lloyd takes the wheel to follow them

"Sorta" Lloyd says as he tried to keep it steady

After awhile they stop the train.

"look their's the ninja" Aria points at half a train with the ninjas sitting in it

Lloyd anchors the train.

"Lloyd! Aria!" The ninja shout happily

"Hook, line, and sinker" Lloyd smiles and Aria laughs

"To Ouroboros as fast as you can" Kai orders

"Aye, aye, captain" Lloyd replies

As they approached the city Lloyd put the train down. The ninja all ran in with Lloyd and Aria following. They saw the ground crumbling in front of Wu and Pythor.

"What's going on? Who's that creature underground?" Kai questions confused

"You must do everything in your power to stop the Great Devourer. Go, Ninja! Go!" Wu commands

"Sensei" Aria cries

Kai shook his head "No, Sensei"

The Slither Pit finally breaks down, and the Great Devourer bursts free, its massive body towering over the city as it roars. It lunges at Wu and Pythor.
