The Falcon lands on a phone line, scaring off a group of birds before turning and saying, "Wake up, Zane. I know where you come from."

It is revealed to be a dream as Zane wakes up, hitting his head on the top bunk of the bed, gasping. Zane gets out of bed, rubbing his head and looks out the window.

Zane comes up to the bridge and sees Master Wu and Nya. He says to them, "The hunt starts early today."

Wu says, "A watchful eye never sleeps."

Nya adds, "As long as the Serpentine roam freely, no one in Ninjago is safe."

Zane asks, "Where are the others?" and Wu replies, "Training on the upper deck."

Zane goes out to the upper deck before seeing the Falcon again, perched on the mast.

Zane says, "You were in my dream, little friend. Last time I saw you, you led me to good fortune. What reason have you returned?" before the Falcon flies off and Zane watches it fly away from the Destiny's Bounty, unaware that a shadow was sneaking up behind him, but soon realizes. "Lord Garmadon." He turns to face him. "But you were banished!"

Garmadon responds, "Only to return for the Weapons of Spinjitzu." and he pulls out two katanas. "Soon I will have the power to recreate Ninjago in my own image."

Garmadon charges at Zane, who gets out his Shurikens of Ice and jumps over Garmadon before he could strike him, landing in a defensive position.

"Give me your Shurikens of Ice." Garmadon commands him.

Zane replies, "You'll have to take them from me." and shouts, "Ninja, go!"

Zane does Spinjitzu and comes at Garmadon, but he easily grabs Zane and holds him up and throws him into a pile of junk, losing his shurikens in the process.

Garmadon says, "So be it." and cuts a nearby rope, sending a heavy box coming down on Zane. But just as it was about to be the end for him, the Green Ninja has managed to get a hold of it and throws it aside.

Zane gasps, "The Green Ninja. The legend's true." and he looks back at Garmadon.

Garmadon comes down just as the Green Ninja punches him before flipping back to avoid a strike from Garmadon and they look at each other. Garmadon charges at the Green Ninja, but he jumps up as Garmadon thrusts the swords forward and the Green Ninja lands on the blades. Garmadon spins around in an attempt to get him off before the Green Ninja jumps off, moves around the mast and lands. Garmadon throws his katanas at the Green Ninja, but he tilts forward, letting the swords hit the mast before moving aside to straighten himself and does Spinjitzu. Zane watches in shock before Garmadon flips forward to the Green Ninja, ending up getting punched in the face by him. Garmadon attempts to fight back, but the Green Ninja moves back and kicks him, knocking him down before vaulting over him and holds the Nunchucks of Lightning high over his head. Garmadon turns to him, holding a katana and charges at him, but the Green Ninja turns around, striking him with the nunchucks. Garmadon slides along the deck before falling off the side, screaming.

Zane then looks to see fire in the Green Ninja's eyes as well as having his right hand alight and the Falcon perched on his left arm. Zane asks, "Who are you?" and stands up, "Kai, is that you?"

Suddenly, multiple Falcons fly around Zane.

"What's the meaning of this? Who are you, Green Ninja?"asks Zane.

There are soon multiple copies of the Falcon on the deck. That too, was a dream as Zane wakes up, hitting his head on the top bunk of the bed like in his dream.

Jay says, "Oh, sleeping in. You're gonna be late for training."

Zane asks, "Oh, how come no one awakened me?" and Kai replies, "We didn't think you wanted us to. You looked like you were having some dream."
