In Laughy's, a white ball hits a set of balls on a pool table as patrons were doing whatever they were want now that it was cleared of the Sons of Garmadon, but most of their damage had remained behind, while P.I.X.A.L., Misako, Tania and Cirrus watch Dragon dance in front of Kai, who held a boba in his hand, Jay, Cole, Nya, Zane, Geoff, who also held a boba, Blake, Maggie and Gewuji, all wearing party hats, as they prepare to sing. "#It's time for training and we're getting started#" They all sang.
They move the microphone to Jay. "#It's on, you know#" He sang before moving the mic back.
Dareth hands a patron a shot glass of Green Ninjarita as he wiped the counter. "#And we wanna see you whip and shout it#"
Nya then grabbed the microphone. "#We rock#" She sang before catching Zane, who was about to fall back.
"#You roll#" Jay, Cole and Blake sang.
"#They say, go slow#" They all sang.
"#And everything stands so still#" Geoff and Maggie sang.
"We say, go go#"
"#We're ready for the fight we know the drill#" Gewuji sang.
Jay soon grabbed the mic. "#It seems so long ago...#" He sang, unaware he had mixed the lyrics. "This part is- Okay, listen."
"Okay, here it comes." Blake said.
"#They say, go slow#" They all sang.
"#And everything stands so still#" Blake sang as Misako and Cirrus laugh from watching Dragon dance.
"We say, go go#"
"That must be a strange sight." P.I.X.A.L. said, turning to Misako as the Ninja keep singing and Dragon danced to their singing. "To see someone you've known for so long suddenly look so young."
"He always had a young soul." Misako replied.
"At least he's happy." Tania said.
"I wonder if this little bun will be happy too when it comes." Cirrus replied, touching her stomach.
P.I.X.A.L. turns and notices Lloyd leaning against a support beam, pouting and holding a bottle of beer. "Not everyone is happy." She said, causing them all to turn to him, and Misako walks over to him.
"You still care for her, didn't you?" She asked.
Lloyd immediately turned to lean on the railing. "What does it matter?" He asked, taking a small sip of his beer.
"It mattered to you. Bruises go away, bones break and heal." She soon placed a hand on his shoulder. "But getting your heart broken? Take time to mourn, but don't let it destroy you. If you bury what's good about you beneath a hard shell, you'll turn out no better than Harumi."
Lloyd thinks for a bit before looking back at his mother, and smiled. "You're right. It was her fault that me and Gewuji broke up after all."
"At least you're back together."
He soon looks at Gewuji as she was still with the others. "#You're gonna see us-#" The others sang before Cole grabs the mic stand.
"#-rip into it#" Cole sang before they jump off the stage to dance, alongside Dragon, with Geoff quickly laying his boba drink down to carry Maggie, bridal style, and Jay and Nya holding hands before they start dancing as well. "#Just jump up, kick back, whip around and spin!#" Jay grabs Nya and spins her while Geoff spins with Maggie still in his arms. "#And then we jump back, do it again#"
They all head back to the stand as Geoff puts Maggie down and picks up his drink. "#Ninja, go!#" They all sang. "#Ninja, go! Come on, come on, We're gonna do it again#" Out of curiosity, Lloyd turned around to the TV, and notices something. "#Just jump up, kick back, whip around and spin!#"
"Dareth, cut the music!" He said, looking at the TV while putting the beer bottle down. Dareth immediately did so.
"#And then we jump back, do it-#" The music soon stopped.
"Hey, don't-" Jay was disappointed.
"Come on!" Cole yelled.
"Darren!" Blake called out.
"#-again#" Zane sang a little.
"What is it, Lloyd?" Misako asked as they look at the TV.
"It's always good to see my beautiful Gayle Gossip." Dareth said, turning the volume up, and sighs out of love.
"What's the big idea, Dareth?" Maggie asked as they join him while Blake held Dragon.
"We were having a fun time too." Geoff said as they took off their party hats, except for Jay.
"Shut up." Lloyd replied, pointing to the TV where Gayle was shown outside the police station with several officers around the truck, having coffee, or discussing the events.
"-where an assailant rammed a stolen garbage truck into the front of it." Gayle said on the TV. "I'm hearing word it was a jail break. A prisoner was freed from custody. And there has been many fatalities confirmed."
"Okay, maybe not always good." Dareth said, putting the remote down, and turned to the Ninja. "Hey, didn't you just put the princess in jail? You don't think it's her, do you?"
"Okay, I'm getting verification the prisoner that was freed was the recently apprehended Jade Princess, Princess Harumi." Gayle said on the TV. "Security footage caught the two on video." The screen turned to see Harumi and her accomplice heading for the detective's car before getting in.
The appearance of the accomplice shocked Lloyd. "Holy shit. That looks like-" Dareth didn't want to continue.
The Ninja look at Lloyd, who ran a hand over his hair out of shock. "That... That's impossible." He said to himself.
"Could be anyone." Kai said, hoping to reassure Lloyd.
"But he has four arms." Zane replied, earning a nudge from Kai.
"So does Mr. E." Jay said, scoffing as the others either stare at him in confusion, or glare.
"No, he didn't, Jay." Gewuji replied. "It was through the Mask of Vengeance, which is back in Cyrus' hands, and he's in jail."
"Well, who doesn't have four arms these days?"
"There's Kozu." Geoff said. "But we can rule him out, because he's dead."
Lloyd soon turned to his mother. "We stopped the ceremony, didn't we?" He asked, earning a shocking look from her.
"I'm telling you, that's not him." Jay said.
"Jay, Mr. E is in jail, and Kozu is dead." Blake replied, reminding him.
"Then if that's Lord Oni Garmadon, then I'm Lord of the Jig."
"Tha-" Caine, who had a sling on for his busted shoulder and holding a coffee cup in his left hand, stuttered as he spoke to Gayle on the TV. "That's when she said, 'Kneel before Lord Garmadon.'"
Jay soon sighed and took off his party hat. "Okay, that's definitely him."
"Then you better start jigging." Gewuji sarcastically said as Blake came up to Misako.
"Misako, can you and Cirrus find a place to keep Dragon somewhere safe?" He asked, handing him to Misako, and he giggles.
"I have a corner pad on the east side." Dareth replied. "You guys can make it your own." He chuckles before moving a hand close to his mouth. "Just don't mind the underwear lying around."
"We'll take him there now." Tania said, taking Dragon from Misako.
"The rest of us, we've got work to do." Kai said. "I'll have to call my editor and cancel my appointment for my new book."
On the east side of Ninjago, Misako, Tania and Cirrus accompany Dareth while Dragon held Misako's hand before coming across a corner building. "I got this place in case the Brown Ninja ever needed a secret headquarters." Dareth said before chuckling. "Truthfully, I'm a little bummed the Ninja haven't needed me more."
"Well, we need you now." Misako replied.
"This is perfect, Dareth." Tania said. He smirks at them before the girls and Dragon head inside while Dareth checked his surroundings before heading in as Misako picked up Dragon so that they could go up the stairs.
When they reached Dareth's apartment, they all gasped when they see it was a complete mess. There many boxes unpacked, takeaway containers, coffee cups, and weapons all over. Dareth immediately started to clean up as best as he could before Misako puts Dragon down, and Cirrus placed a hand over her mouth. "Where's the bathroom?" She asked.
"The toilet's on your right." Dareth replied before Cirrus quickly went over to the bathroom. "If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down. If it's blue- Uh, I don't know what to do." He soon laughs as Dragon, Misako and Tania look at each other before hearing the sound of Cirrus hurling in the bathroom. "Sorry, I guess this isn't the time for jokes." Tania soon closed the door while Cirrus' vomiting was still heard. "Wow. So, who is the father?"
"One of the guards who was at the Royal Palace." Misako replied.
"Timor, right?"
"How do you know?"
"Well, Seymour, he- Uh, prefers the same kind he is." Knowing what he was talking about, Misako chose not to ask. "Anyway, in all seriousness, no one should find you here."
Tania soon came up to a poster of Gayle Gossip with love hearts on it when the sound of Cirrus flushing the toilet was heard. "Gayle Gossip?" She asked before chuckling until Dareth came up to her.
"What can I say? I'm a news junkie." He immediately pulls the poster off, heads over to the TV stand, and places it down before moving stuff further down, and raises the stand up into the wall, closing it before noticing a giggling Dragon trying to grab one of the shurikens that were embedded in the wall near a cardboard stand of a figure that Dareth used for practise. "Uh oh." He immediately pulled it out. "For a safe house, I guess it could be a little more child friendly..." Dragon starts coming up to Cirrus, who had just emerged from the bathroom, wiping her mouth, and hugs her leg. "...or, uh, little master friendly. I gotta be honest, this little dude is freaking me out." He looks at Dragon. "No offence, Dragon."
"This will do just fine." Misako said. "Thank you, Dareth. Or should I say, Brown Ninja?"
Dareth soon chuckled. "The honour is all mine."
"Well, can the Brown Ninja escort me to the nearest pharmacy?" Cirrus asked. "I need to get some Diuretics." She soon looked at Dragon, who looks at her, smiling. "And some baby essentials for Dragon."
"Sure thing. Shall we?" He holds his hand out to the doorway, and Cirrus scoffed before walking over to the door as Dragon soon went to Tania.
