(Jay lands in Ed and Edna's Scrapyard.)

Ed: What is that racket? (Gasps.) Our son!

Edna: Oh, you mean our adopted son, Ed. Remember?

Ed: Of course I remember, Edna. But this is the second time he's landed on our doorstep, and if you think I'm not going to help him, well, you don't know the man you married.

Edna: Of course I know. That's why I married you. Oh, I hope he's all right.

Ed: Now, how does someone just fall from the sky?

Jay: Mom? Dad?

(Dogshank approaches and Sqiffy and Bucko.)

Dogshank: There you two are. Nadakhan has a mission for you.

Bucko: Back so soon?

Sqiffy: Did you give our respects to the Tiger Widow?

Dogshank: Haha, very funny. Now get out of here! (She grabs Nya and puts the dress on her.)

Nya: Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes, Miss No-Fun?

Dogshank: Most girls would be lucky to marry a man who can give them whatever they want.

Nya: Well, we're not most girls, are we? Besides, what I want is to not marry him. But I don't suppose you'd help me with that.

Crystal: Of course she wouldn't. (She is shackled with vengestone and 2 pirates are holding her by the arms)

Clancee: Oh, d-d-don't she look pretty in white?

Nya: Pretty? I look hideous! And what's with these four arms?

Dogshank: It was his mother's. We'll make alterations.

Nya: Ugh! I hate dresses. (Doubloon notices something.)

Clancee: A blowpipe?

Dogshank: And a dart filled with tiger widow poison. Real nasty stuff. I should know. Careful, one drop of it is deadly.

Clancee: But to a Djinn, it'd slow him down long enough to do something stupid.

Nya: Please, you can't tell him. You have a choice. You don't have to do this.

Crystal: Yea, listen to us.

Clancee: He'd blame us for even letting it get this close.

Dogshank: Clancee, get rid of it. Now hurry up. The ceremony run-through is in few minutes.

(Jay tells his parents about their predicament.)

Jay: And then when I tried to save Nya with the traveler's tea, she said since I had the most important wish, I was the one who needed to be saved. Then she pushed me through the portal. I had no idea where I was going. I guess with my parents on my mind, it sent me where I needed to be.

Edna: Oh. Hear that? He called us his parents.

Ed: So that's why Ninjago is falling apart.

Jay: If I could take back the wishes, I would. But I can't. It cost me my friends, my 2 best friends, the love of my life, and most importantly, the two people who care for me the most. And now it's up to me, and me alone, to stop the wedding and save the world. Just one guy against a Djinn and his entire army.

Styx: Boo! (He appears on Jay's shoulder)

Jay: Ahhhh! Huh? Styx when did you get here?

Styx: Crystal told me to go with you since she knew Nya was going to protect you. And now I'm telling to now give up.
