On the Bounty, the Ninja have reported everything they learned to the rest of the team and are locating the location of the last Fangblade.
"The Venomari's right. By the time we cast sail clear across the other side of Ninjago, Pythor will have already beat us to the last Fangblade" Nya tells them
"Oh, come on, guys. This is the last one. We gotta get it. We gotta think of something" Jay says
"I don't get why it's so hard" Aria speaks up "it's quite easy if you think about it"
The ninja turned to look at Lloyd and Aria who were playing uno together.
"What do you mean?" Cole questions
"Well me and Aria were thinking, If all we have to do is just get one Fangblade to stop him. What if we take back the other three?" Lloyd suggests
"Pythor wouldn't risk having them all on him. He's probably hidden them somewhere while he goes for the fourth" Aria adds
Cole smiles "yeah it's so simple.
"Huh, why didn't I think of that?" Kai questions
The ninja then look between the two children.
"What?" Lloyd asks confused
"What's with you two?" Jay questions
"We're friends" Lloyd and Aria say together
"Since when?" Zane asks
"Since they were born" Garmadon replies
"Huh?" The ninja looked at him, then back to Lloyd and Aria
"yeah," Aria rubs her head "I told you guys.. when I was little and training under Sensei Garmadon I spent a lot of time with Lloyd too." She looks back down "Uno" she places down a card
"Already!" Lloyd shouts, turning his attention back to the game
"Anyway, all strangeness aside, my algorithms suggest taking the other three would be far more dangerous. Pythor would undoubtedly have them protected by his top generals" Zane tells them
"Ha, finally. I don't have to hold back" Kai says excitedly
"Even if you could steal the other three, you don't even know where they are" Garmadon says
Wu sighs "He's right. For the past few weeks, there have been almost no Serpentine sightings. How are they moving around? It's like they're ghosts"
Nya smiles "Or snakes. Bridge, give me a sonar sweep of Ninjago"
The computer shows no activity.
"See, nothing. It's just like Sensei said" Kai says
"snakes burrow" Aria chimes in
Nya nods "Exactly, bridge, now give me a sonar sweep of Ninjago but twenty feet below surface"
The computer shows them the tunnels the Serpentine took.
"All the tombs have been interconnected" Kai points out
"To make one massive underground fortress" Cole adds
Kai points to the main base "There, that's the most protected area. The Fangblades must be held there"
"Then what are we waiting for? Nya, set the course" Wu commands
"Already on it. We'll be there by sunup" Nya says
"good thinking runts" Cole pats their heads
"It's what we do" Lloyd says
