(The Falcon squawks as Zane, Trey and Wu look through binoculars and spot the Dark Island.)

Zane: Hmm, most peculiar. Yesterday there was just ocean, but now there is an island.

Wu: The Dark Island, Zane. And what I find more peculiar is after Ninjago City was attacked by the Stone Army, today they have vanished.

Trey: Don't ya think they're on this Dark Island? Garmadon may be responsible.

Wu: I fear that too. But what's most important is we have to find out what is on that island.

Zane: Perhaps my Falcon can have a look.

(He sends the Falcon off. Meanwhile, the others work on the Bounty.)

Jay: (He gets splashed with oil and groans) Ugh, useless pile of junk.

Nya: Oh, it's worse than I feared. The rotors on the starboard booster are completely destroyed. The port boosters are shot from the strain. Oh, sorry guys. She's not getting airborne anytime soon.

Cole: So if the Stone Army attacks again, we're sitting ducks.

Jay: Uh, ducks can fly, Cole. Weren't you listening?

Kai: We just got our tails handed to us and we couldn't even stop one of them. Ugh, I hate feeling helpless.

Wu: We mustn't give up hope, Kai.

Lloyd: But the Stone Army is indestructible. You saw it. At best, all my powers could do was slow them down.

Misako: That's not entirely true. There is a way to defeat them. And it is told within the scrolls. (Everyone heads inside the Bounty and Misako shows them the scroll.) The prophecy reveals that the power to defeat the Stone Army lies within the Green Ninja.

Lloyd: I tried. I gave them everything I had.

Misako: Yes, but you are stronger than you think. Look. The true power of the Green Ninja can only be unlocked when his five protectors find their own pure elemental powers.

Cole: Are we the protectors?

Jay: Pfft, silly question. Of course we are. Haha, right?

Zane: If we are the protectors, then we're doomed. Our elemental Golden Weapons no longer exist. We cannot tap into our elemental powers without them.

Misako: But the powers do exist within each of you just like Trey. And there is a way to unlock your powers on your own. We must go to the Temple of Light.

Nya: Temple of Light? What's that?

Misako: The gold in the Golden Weapons was from the Golden Peaks, but they were forged in the Temple of Light, a powerful place I thought only existed in legend.

Wu: It's on the Dark Island?

Misako: I think our only choice is to find out.

Cole: So we get our powers back? All right!

Nya: But there's still one big problem: the Bounty can't fly.

Trey: It's a ship, right? Can't it sail?

Jay: Silly question. Of course it can. Haha, right?

(With the Bounty set on the dock, the ninja say goodbye to everyone before heading off.)

Edna: Now promise me you'll eat your vegetables.

Jay: Mom!

Edna: Oh, I mean it. You get sluggish when you don't get enough vitamins. Ed, tell him if he's gonna save the world, he has to eat his vegetables.
