Aboard the Destiny's Bounty, Lloyd Garmadon is discussing with the Ninja how he would attack a Serpentine.
"First, I'll stomp on his tail. Then when he turns, a thunder clap to his ears. Then when he's stunned, I'll disarm him" Lloyd says
Cole shook his head "Too late, he's already hypnotized you and now you're under his control"
"Or he's already put you in a squeeze" Zane adds
"Or spit on you with his hallucinatory venom. Trust me, bad stuff" Kai says
Lloyd groans "Uncle, what's the best way to stun a Serpentine if you don't know what kind they are?"
Wu entered the room with a box "Hmm... sadly, it was the Sacred Flute you four carelessly lost"
"Hey, no, no, no, we didn't lose it. Pythor stole it" Jay corrects
W sighs "Whatever the case, without it I fear we have nothing to combat their powers. We may have prevented them from uniting in the past, but they will try again, and one day they will be stronger"
"Don't worry. I've almost reached my Full Potential, and when I become the Green Ninja, we're not gonna need any magic flute" Cole says
Kai scoffs "You're gonna be the Green Ninja? Hahaha, don't make me laugh"
Zane intervenes "I thought it was decided that I was destined to become the Green Ninja"
"Oh! The only thing decided about you, Zane, is that you're weird" Jay says and the Ninja start arguing.
Lloyd rolls his eyes "Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's in the box?"
"Your new uniforms" Wu replies, the Ninja gasp in awe
The ninja boys changed into them.
"Whoa! They've got, like, armor." Jay says excitedly
Kai smiles "I love the gold highlights"
"Battle claws!" Cole shouts amazed
"The material is really light and breathable" Zane says
"What are you all happy about?" Aria asks as she walks in
"new suits" Jay replies happily
"Oh, do i have one?" Aria asks
"No, but I do have a new dress for you." Wu says handing her a box "It's from Hanabusa."
Aria gasps happily "Really?!"
"Eh" Lloyd crosses his arms "I hate that guy."
"Who's Hanabusa?" Jay asks
"Aria's personal guard while she was at the palace." Wu answers "He was like a big brother to her."
Aria uses spinjitzu to put it on fast "oh I love it, Hanabusa knows me so well."
"Yeah it's cute." Lloyd agrees
"Really?" Aria asks him
"Yeah," Lloyd looks away to Wu "do I get anything?"
"uh, you get.." Wu looks around before grabbing the box "the box"
The alarm went off.
Cole looking at the monitor in the bridge "Sorry to break up the moment, but a small faction of our slithering friends are stirring up trouble at Mega Monster Amusement Park"
Lloyd turned happy "Amusement park? Can I go? Can I go with you, please? Let me make things up. I can help."
"I'm sorry, nephew. You will stay here where it's safe" Wu tells him
"Oh, Ninja get all the fun" Lloyd whined
"see ya Lloydie" Aria smiles to him before following the ninja
"Hey, Uncle." Lloyd gets his attention
"What is it?" Wu asks
"Has Aria's mother written?" Lloyd looks at him
"..no.. I'm afraid not." Wu tells him
"Of course not." Lloyd says annoyed
Upon arriving, however, the Ninja find that the Serpentine threat has been taken care of.
Nya walks over to them "someone called Samurai X already arrived and took care of them"
"their is another hero?" Zane questions
"seems that way" Cole says annoyed
Master Wu then comes out of a gift shop with cotton candy "this Samurai may help you five better yourselves through some healthy competition- oh ferris wheel!" with that he ran off
"competition?" Aria questions confused
"yeah, that's a great idea" Cole agrees
"whoever catches the Samurai first is the Green Ninja" Kai declares and the other boys nod in agreementThe ninjas have been dealing with snake attacks but have been beaten by the samurai every time. Aria was in the living room reading scrolls when Kai runs past her.
"Aria I'm leaving again" Kai calls out
"Hold it" Aria grabs his hood "Nobody else is here, you need to watch Lloyd"
"he.. uh.." Kai turns to Lloyd "just follow me"
Lloyd shrugs before getting off the couch and following Kai.
-
All the ninja gather in the living room
"Trying to find out the Samurai's identity is more of a nuisance than the snakes. Any luck with you?" Cole asks
"The guy's elusive. He's like a ghost. One moment he's there, the next he's gone" Jay replies
"I am starting to believe we might never catch him" Zane says
Kai sighs "I think it's safe to say, none of us are closer to proving we're the Green Ninja"
Wu enters the room "Looks like iron is sharpening iron. I feel you are getting closer to your True Potential" He lightly squeezes Cole's arm.
Cole jumps a bit "Ow!"
"I'm sure you guys will catch him soon" Aria encourages as she sets down a pot of tea, she looks around "Hey, where's Lloyd? He's supposed to be helping me"
"I thought Cole was gonna pick him up" Kai says
Cole shook his head "I went to the arcade, but he wasn't there. Jay was-"
"Don't bring me into this. I babysat yesterday" Jay says annoyed
"We have not seen him" Zane simplifies
"Sensei" Aria turned to Wu looking worried
Wu sighed "We must find the boy"
-
They arrive near the arcade.
"Lloyd? Lloyd?" Kai calls out then turned to the others "He was right here. Someone must have seen him"
Zane looks up "Their's a security camera"
They went to watch the footage.
"Wait, wait, there's the pipsqueak. Play that back" Jay says and they see him buying the disguise and walking away "What is he up to?" They go back to where Lloyd was.
They found footprints and followed them Zane stopped at the end "I sense these are Lloyd's footprints, but they come to an end here. Why?"
"Something tells me we're going for a ride. Come on" Kai says
Aria joined Kai and they ride to a giant City in the dessert.
"What is that place?" Cole questions
"the lost City of Ouroboros" Aria replies "I've been reading a lot on snakes"
They come upon the gates of The Lost City of Ouroboros and after reverting their weapons they slip past the guards. They come upon the border of the colosseum.
"It appears Pythor has successfully united all of the tribes" Zane points out
"I know we ruined their last get-together, but that's no reason to not get an invitation. My feelings are hurt" Cole jokes
They looked in and Kai points "There's Lloyd" Lloyd is trapped in a cage.
"Whoa. And look at who they worship" Jay says looking at the giant snake statue.
"The Great Devourer, the scariest snake to ever live, the one who caused Garmadon to turn evil" Aria explains
"Someone's spent more time reading then training" Jay comments
"what can I say" Aria shrugs "I'm a book worm"
Kai shakes his head "Alright let's go get him"
They rush in to save him, they trigger a trap and are locked inside a cage as well, dropping their Golden Weapons.
Lloyd gasps "The Ninja!"
"Looks like we've caught the main event" Pythor laughs and the Ninja are brought into the arena.
Aria glared at the ninja "Maybe next time hold onto your weapons!"
"Sorry" The ninja apologize shrinking back from her
"Aria's scarier then anything they'll throw at us" Cole whispers and the ninja nod in agreement
The Ninja are led to the center of the colosseum
"You say you wanted a battle, and I give you one. I give you Ninja versus Samurai!" Pythor announces
The Samurai is brought out in chains.
"What? We have to fight the Samurai? But we don't even have our Golden Weapons and he has that hulking thing of armor. It's not fair" Jay complains
"I want to see once and for all who is the greatest hero. Is it Samurai, or Ninja? Only the victor will be allowed to leave" Pythor announces
"Stay together" Kai commands
The duel begins and the Samurai throws projectile weapons at them, but they dodge most of them.
"Haha, missed me!" Jay then gets hit
"You idiot" Aria facepalms
The Samurai throws more and the ninja dodge. One headed towards Aria and Kai quickly tackles her down to the ground.
"You've really got to train more instead of reading" Kai says
"I know" Aria whines
The male ninja then use the tornado of creation to make a slingshot and fire only for the Samurai to block it. Pythor activates spikes and then tilts the arena. Kai quickly held Aria by the waist while he held onto the platform with one hand.
"Can this get any worse?" Cole questions
"We must continue to make it appear that we are fighting for real" Samurai X says
"Huh, we're not fighting for real?" Jay asks confused
"that would've been more convincing if I didn't almost get hit" Aria mumbles
"Keep up the charade and hold on to my exo-suit" Samurai X instructed and they try to fly away.
"There's too much weight!" Kai says before Samurai X jumps out and the mech blasts off.
"I can't believe he just saved us" Cole says
"He stole our thunder again!" Kai shouts annoyed
"Argh! I hate that Samurai!" Jay shouts
"geese boys" Aria sighs "can you get any more petty"
The Samurai steals the Golden Weapons and leaves. The mech swan dives and crashes in the desert. Kai has landed in another location.
"Kai!" The ninja call out as they look for him
Aria spots Kai heading towards them "Kai!"
After awhile they finally return to the Bounty and are now brushing their teeth for bed.
"He was all mysterious. Never said a word. Then handed me the Golden Weapons and poof, he was gone" Kai explains
"Poof? He just poofed?" Cole questions and Aria laughs
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute, Kai. If the Samurai had his hands on the most powerful weapons in the whole wide world, why would he just give them back to you?" Jay asks
Kai shrugs "Um, I don't know. Maybe she-I mean, he's not so bad after all. All I do know is that we owe him our lives."
Aria turns sad "More importantly, Lloyd has found his way into the den of all snakes. There may be no way of rescuing him now.
Cole puts his hand on her head "don't worry kiddo, we'll save Lloyd"
"yeah don't sweat it" Jay laughs "we'll save your boyfriend"
Aria screams in frustration and embarrassment "he's not my boyfriend!"
"Ooo a confession." Kai jokes
"Where did boyfriend come from?!" Aria asks blushing
"You two seem close, we are making an assumption." Zane shrugs
"We.. were childhood friends." Aria admits
"Hehe." Kai rubs her head "Childhood friends huh?"
Aria moves his hand "Come on guys, it's not like that."
