"Wow this ship is huge!" Aria shouts happily

Clouse had taken her to the boat they would be taking to Chen's island.

"Isn't it a little weird for Uncle Chen to be holding a tournament of elements though?" Aria questions

"Not at all." Clouse replies holding his hand out to her

Aria takes his hand and he helps her onto the boat.

"Well he's run his noodle business' for years since his banishment, it's just weird to suddenly hold a tournament for only elementals." Aria says 

"He's merely curious on who the strongest is." Clouse smiles "Just a fun little tournament your highness."

"You're right." Aria agrees and wonders off to explore

"Ignorance is bliss dear princess." Clouse mutters

Aria sat on the boat's rail in thought until she heard Clouse's voice become a bit louder.

"Master Chen will be charmed to see you've accepted his offer. A Master of Spinjitzu shall fare favorably in his Tournament" Clouse says

Aria turns around to see the ninja with Clouse

"Hey, we're not here to fight. We're here to save a friend" Jay replies annoyed

"Don't be so petty, Master Jay" Clouse grabs Jay's nunchucks "Everyone here has something to fight for."

"Chopsticks. I'm a big eater, heh" Jay gulps when Clouse threw his nunchucks into the Sea.

Garmadon ran up the dock "Lloyd, wait! If you get on that boat, you may never return"

"What are you doing here, Dad?" Lloyd asks

"Master Chen is a dangerous man who should never be trusted. Whatever he promised you, do not believe him" Garmadon says

"Lord Garmadon. It's been a while" Clouse speaks "It's Sensei now, correct? I can't remember"

"Clouse. I see Master Chen still has you running his errands" Garmadon replies spitefully

"I have to go, Dad. This is about Zane. It's about family. If we're ever going to be whole again, I have to get on that ship" Lloyd argues

"Last call. Are you in, or out?" Clouse asks

Garmadon looks at Lloyd "I can't stop you, son, but I can join you"

"Sorry, no more room in the ship" Clouse smirks

"No room?" Garmadon kicks a thug off the ship

"It appears their's room now" Clouse replies and gestures for the ninja and Garmadon to board

The ninjas walked onto the boat together with Garmadon as Clouse turns to the men and they all prepare for the boat to sail.

"Sensei!" Aria runs over happily and hugs Garmadon "I've missed you so much!"

"Aria?" Garmadon looked surprised before simply patting her head "It's good to see you, I didn't see your after you returned from your trip, I was worried."

"Sorry" Aria rubs her head "I kinda went straight home, I lost where I was." She turns and quickly hugs Lloyd "Lloydie."

"H-Hi Princess" Lloyd looks nervous

"I told you to stop calling me that!" Aria huffs "I'm your fi-"

"Ah!" Lloyd stops her "I know I know I'm sorry Aria."

Aria turns and smiles to Cole "Hi Cousin Cole"

"Wow, I see how much I'm loved." Cole jokes

"Oh come on." Aria pouts and hugs him too "I've missed youuu"
