Almost a year had passed since the final battle and the opening of Wu's Academy. Kai's class watched clips of the Final Battle from an old film reel.

"The ultimate battle. The battle that would end all battles. It feels like ages ago. After the Golden Ninja defeated the Overlord, much of Ninjago City was in ruin. It was a time to reflect on our past, and build for our future."

"Ninjago City soon became New Ninjago City. And it became the center of great technological advancements. But without an enemy to fight, the age of the Ninja came to an end and the balance of light and dark once again was kept"

The scene switches to a bathroom where Jay is seen holding a camera in a mirror reflection while Kai is heard singing. The singing stops and Kai is shown taking a shower, he finally noticed Jay "Hey! How about a little privacy, you-? "

The clip stops as Kai runs to the projector "Whoa! This isn't supposed to be in here. Lights please!"

Students begin giggling as he can't turn off the projector.

"Ugh! Seriously? " Kai complains

A student ran in "Come quick! Mr. Zane's on the fritz!"

Kai and his students ran out of the room. In Zane's class, students are laughing as Zane is shorting out.

"What's going on here?" Cole asks as he came in

"Brad got an ultra remote from New Ninjago City and it's controlling Mr. Zane" A student replies

Cole smashes the remote, and Zane stops.

"Mr. Cole is the worst" A kid complains

"I heard that" Cole growled, a bell rings and the kids run out, bumping Cole out of the way

"If it's any consolation Mr Kai, I enjoyed the lesson." Ariana tells Kai as she walks out the door.

"Thank you as always Ariana," Kai replies before mutters "for not being a demon spawn."

"Ah, recess." Cole lets out a breath "My favorite time."

Kai and the ninja head to the teacher's lounge.

Jay sighs in annoyance "All right! Who took my pudding cup? My name was clearly written on it"

"I didn't see "Motor Mouth" on it" Cole says as he finishes the pudding.

"I'm telling the headmaster!" Jay complains

"Leave me out of it. I'm on break, too" Wu calls out from the next room

"Relax, Jay, you can have mine" Kai says throwing his to Jay

"But this isn't cold" Jay whines before Zane flips a switch in his arm and freezes the cup "Oh, give me" he shoves a spoonful in his mouth and smiles "Mm"

"Why is it that when I teach none of the boys are listening?" Nya complains as she walks in

Jay smiles "Hi, Miss Nya. I saved you some pudding."

"What did we talk about?" Nya questions

"Oh, right" Jay laughs "Boundaries"

"Oh yeah, did you guys hear the news?" Nya suddenly asks remembering.

The ninja jumped up immediately.

"There's trouble?"

"Danger?"

"An emergency?"

"Oh, a new menace?"

"No. We got clearance for a field trip" Nya says happily and the others groan "Not just any field trip. A field trip to tour Borg Industries"
