Aria is the purple ninja. Her training was going great until her sensei decided to get together a team of ninja. The other Ninja become her family. They discover the green ninja is Lloyd and defend Ninjago the best they can. She learns everyone can...
The ferry reaches Chen's Island, where the contestants of the Tournament of Elements rush out of the vehicle. They follow the directions of Clouse and his master's henchman, to the main fortress of the island where they meet Chen.
"Aria come let me see you" Chen said motioning to her to approach him
Aria let go of Lloyd's hand and walked over to Chen who placed his hands on her shoulders "look at you, you look like your mother, very beautiful"
"Thank you Master Chen" Aria said
"Now now I was your mother's master not yours, you can call me grandpa like you used to" Chen said waving his hands around
"yes of course" Aria said a bit uneasy
"Now off to your rooms everyone" Chen announced and everyone went off
Aria stepped down and Lloyd took her hand. As they walked away Lloyd looked back to see Chen and Clouse glaring at him. Lloyd just glared back and put his arm around her waist.
"Lloyd you ok?" Aria asked
"Yep, just worried about Zane" Lloyd replied
"I'm sure we'll find him" Aria smiled
"thanks Ari" Lloyd said hugging her before entering his room
Each room had a specific design interest for the ninja. Kai has a balcony next to Skylor's, and tries to impress her, though fails at his attempt to win her over, Jay with highly advanced technology, Cole with delicious treats from Chen's Noodle House, and Lloyd with a new gi.
Lloyd went out on his balcony and looked up

"Aria" Lloyd said happily, Aria's room was above his
She smiled and waved. A few moments later the intercom overhead came on.
"Attention everyone, the first round is now beginning" eager contestants run off "whoever doesn't find a Jade Blade is out"
Lloyd leaves his room and runs to a Jadeblade close to his room, but other attendants of the tournament also compete for it. While getting close, Lloyd is rushed by Ash, narrowly outsmarting and defeating him.
Clouse sees Lloyd, and then uses Dark Magic to prevent Lloyd from winning. However, Garmadon sees this and attacks him, therefore interrupting his spell.
Jay, on the other hand, is taking a bath, when Bolobo enters his room, trying to find a Jadeblade. The Blue Ninja puts on a towel and knocks him to the floor, only to find a Jadeblade in a light. Bolobo takes it, prompting Jay to turn on Starfarer which amuses the Master of Nature, allowing Jay to whack him with his towel.
Cole, on a full stomach, is searching for a Jadeblade and comes close to obtaining one, only to lose it to Griffin Turner, who grabs it from him. Later, while more contestants goes after the same Jadeblade as the Earth Ninja, they eventually bury him, but he soon overthrows them. Paleman quickly get on his feet and snatches the object.
Cole makes a mini earthquake which covers Invizable in dust, giving Cole the chance to knock him out. He grabs the blade and raises it in triumph, but Gravis takes it. Ironically, another blade was on the floor hidden in the shadows, allowing Cole to take it unaware.
Kai and Skylor spot a blade on their rooftop, only for Skylor to manipulate the Master of Fire into receiving the Jadeblade for her. Frustrated at his efforts, Kai soon sees Karlof jogging over the last blade; the Fire master takes this as an opportunity to still remain in the tournament.
The results are revealed as Karlof walks over to Chen waving the Jadeblade in triumph. Unbeknownst to him, Kai sneaks up to snatch the object and flies parallel to Karlof, where he turns in his stolen blade.
Master Chen declares Karlof as the loser of the round, before triggering a trap door on Karlof, where he falls to the unknown.
"Where's Aria?" Kai asked
"We haven't seen her" Cole replied
"Where's Aria?" Lloyd asked approaching Chen
"In her room, where else would she be" Chen answered sounding annoyed
"what about the first round?" Kai questioned
"I let her sleep" Chen said like it was nothing
The Ninja regroup and question how they should find Zane, to which Kai arranges a meeting in his room. Paleman soon approaches them, asking to sit with them, but is rudely blown off by Jay. Cole is surprised by this and points this out, as Jay says the pressure from what happens to the losers is messing with him, and agrees to the meeting.
Later that night, everyone arrives, but as Jay comes by, Skylor comes out of her room, forcing Kai to push the Master of Lightning off his balcony. After she returns into her quarters, Kai helps Jay up and into the Master of Fire's room.
"I'm so sorry I didn't know Chen was going to do that" Aria said to the other ninja
"Hey it's ok" Cole said
"singling out Aria might be Chen's way of trying to divide us, or get the other elementals to hate her" Kai said
"I'm gonna kill him" Aria said
"no" the ninjas all said grabbing her at the same time
"You're no fun" Aria pouted as Lloyd wrapped his arm around her waist
Cole discovers a hidden room under Kai's bed. The Ninja enter the tunnels where they find two holes, which Jay looks in first.
"Jay what are you doing?" Aria asked
"It's Skylor's room" Jay said
Kai quickly went up and fought Jay for the holes. While watching Skylor train for a few moments, Jay and Kai see Skylor pull out a flame on her hand, which would mean that she is also a holder of fire, like Kai.
"Fire, her element's fire!" Jay said loudly before Cole quickly covered his mouth
"shh" they all said
"If they are both holders of fire, doesn't that mean they are related" Cole said
Aria gasped "Incest!" Lloyd covered her mouth
"Aria!" Kai shouted before covering his own mouth
"Hahahahaha" Cole laughed
"Get a move on" Kai said annoyed and slightly disappointed
The Ninja travel the tunnel with Cole unknowingly leaving a trail for them to return after dropping his food. After travelling further into the tunnel and disguising themselves as Cultists, they see the whereabouts of the Anacondrai Cultists.
Subduing a squad of guards, the Ninja disguise themselves and infiltrate Chen's ceremony unfold as they bring in a captive Karlof.
Chen states "Only one can remain" before he steals Karlof's element with Staff of Elements.
Startled by this display, the Ninja realize that Chen's plan is to steal the contestant's power, as Cole noted that Chen used Ice, which meant he already stole Zane's power. Chen then has the powerless Karlof imprisoned in a factory as the latter screams before being taken into the darkness.
As the Ninja talk amongst themselves about what they've witnessed, their chocolate tattoo melts and the cultists realize that they are "impostors," Chen signals his warriors to kidnap the intruders forcing them to flee. The Ninja lose the cultists, but are trailed by a large Anacondrai Serpent. They barely make it out.
"That made me feel like I was about to be eaten by the devourer again" Aria said and Lloyd rubbed her back
"just a smaller one" Jay said panting
Back in the hidden room, Clouse holds up a piece of cloth from Jay's gi caught in the mouth of his serpent, revealing the fact he knows the Ninja spied in the plans of Chen.
