Kai: Ten minutes! He just broke his own record. The guy's inhuman! (Zane is shown on the ocean floor. He pets a fish before resurfacing. The ninja cheer for him.)

Cole: Amazing!

Crystal: That was Awesome! 

Jay: We're not worthy.

Zane: I broke the record?

Kai: You destroyed it!

Jay: Okay, okay. Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking? We've been training for so long, I don't think we can get any better. Just think about all we've accomplished.

(A flashback ensues showing Kai running across several hot coals, then transitions to Jay spinning on a metal rod on one hand during a Lightning storm, then it shows Cole attempting to lift a barbell only to add on more weights before lifting it. It's also shown to have Nya on one end and Jay on the other each with a dumbbell and the latter with holding a chicken platter, and finally it shows Crystal grow light rocks around her.)

Zane: The question should be raised. Perhaps we have reached our full potential like Crystal, just differently? (They head inside the to find Wu.) Well, every morning I do five hundred push-ups.

Kai: Five hundred? Ha, try a thousand.

Jay: Hahaha, I do a thousand and one.

Cole: What is this, amateur hour? Sounds like my warm-up. , Sensei what does True Potential look like if—(They see Master Wu putting away a katana.)

Zane: Our apologies, Sensei. We've interrupted you.

Wu: (Sighs) I'm sorry if I've been distant lately. My mind has been elsewhere since Lloyd has gone missing. What can I help you with?

Cole: Sensei, what if we've done enough training? What if we've reached our True Potential like Crystal just differently? What if we're ready?

Wu: Hm. You might have reached peak physical condition, but you've yet to reach your inner potential. In each and every one of us, there are obstacles that hold us back. Only when you conquer that fear will your heart be free. Only then will you reach your True Potential. Only then will we have a fighting chance to stop the Serpentine from releasing the Great Devourer.

(Time Skip to the ninja and Nya hanging up fangblades posters)

Zane: Oh, this is silly.

Crystal: Zane's is right, we should be looking for the blades not the public. 

Cole: You have any better ideas? 

Jay: Hey, maybe Sensei is gonna go get the Samurai for help.

Kai: The Samurai? I'm sure she's—I mean, he's busy looking for the Fangblades as well.

Cole: Uh, is everything all right?

Kai: Yeah, yeah. Why wouldn't it be?

Nya: One hundred percent. We're not hiding anything. (Styx facepalms while Zane sense the falcon's presence and drops the flyers.)

Man: Hey, weirdo. You're making a mess of my store front. Yoo-hoo! You got a problem? (Zane has dropped the rest of the signs and walks away.) Maybe I should teach you a lesson on manners.

Kai: I'm sorry, sir. Sometimes our friend is in another world.

Man: He's littering all over the place.
