Inside Laughy's, many Sons of Garmadon members were doing whatever activity was in the place, playing pool, arm wrestling, drinking or listening to music with two men, one tall and one short, by a karaoke stand. Zane, Cole and Gewuji soon came in, causing most of the eyes to fall on them as they just kept walking. Ultra Violet, the biker with the red visor helmet and the scarred man, smoking a cigarette, looked down from the upper floor. "#This one goes out to Trylle, wherever you are#" The tall man started to sing, but was causing some feedback and high pitched wailing to go off. By a nearby spot, a female member and a male member were arm wrestling before the woman forces the man's arm down on the left, winning it due to being distracted by the bad singing quality. Barry watches the mohawked member about to hit the white ball on the pool table, but missed due to the bad singing. "#Listen up, son, You got soul#"
"Oh, make them stop!" Barry yelled as he and another member, who was observing him, cover their ears.
"#You got style#"
The short man takes the mic. "#But not enough#" He sang before the tall man took it back.
"#To go those miles#"
By the bar, Dareth, wearing a white shirt, brown slacks with black suspenders and black loafers, walks along before a member grabs him. "Barkeep, another boba!" He demanded before throwing him down.
Dareth immediately got back up while Zane, Cole and Gewuji came up to the bar. "Yes, sir!" He replied. "Coming up, right away." He moves to go grab the ordered drink, but quickly skipped back to him. "Please don't break anything!" He took off again as the three disguised Ninja immediately sat down with Zane easily recognising him.
"Dareth?" He asked before whispering. "What are you doing here?"
Dareth quickly turned to them, but could only notice Cole and Gewuji. "Cole? Gewuji!" He comes up to them. "You two came to visit me!"
This got them to groan. "Are our disguises so much worse than Zane's?" Gewuji asked, pointing to Zane.
Dareth then turned to him. "Zane? Is that you under there? You guys gotta help me. I bought this shithole, hoping to hold onto the glory days when I was fighting side by side with you guys." He points to the photo of everyone in the aftermath of the Great Devourer's defeat.
"Side by side?" Cole asked. "Really?"
"Only now the Sons of Garmadon have moved in and made my place their dive." A nearby member, obviously drunk, falls out of his seat, earning applause from the members near him. "I can't get them to leave. You gotta help me!"
"We can't."
"We need to keep our cover to get close to-" Gewuji was soon cut off at the sound of slamming, causing her, Cole, Zane and Dareth to look up at the upper floor.
"Oi, barkeep, where's my tinny?" The scarred man called out, holding his cigarette in his left hand.
"Coming right up, sir." Dareth replied grabbing a can of beer and throws it over to him. The scarred man quickly catches it with his right hand.
"Drongo." He puts the cigarette down in a nearby ashtray, places the can in his left hand, opens it, and starts drinking it.
"-to those guys." Cole finished the sentence for Gewuji, secretly pointing to them.
"#I'm a rocker, you're a fan#" The tall man by the karaoke stand still sang, annoying Ultra Violet. "#And I'll sing it, Because I ca-#"
She immediately groaned before pulling out a Heckler & Koch P2000, raised it high and fired it into the ceiling, causing the singers to stop. "You just shot a hole into my ceiling!" Dareth yelled, in shock.
"Quiet!" One of the members said to him as they all look at the three members.
"Oi, you blokes need to shoot through!" The scarred man yelled out to the singers, but they were immediately confused by what he had said. "GET OUT!" He throws his half-empty beer can at them, causing them to back away, but end up tripping into the arms of some members.
A couple of members by a nearby window open it as the members then threw the two singers out, causing them to scream as they were thrown out before the member on the left closed the window and the members cheer for the throw out rather than the singing. Zane, Cole and Gewuji also witnessed the throw out. "You mean Mr. E, Scars and Ultra Violet?" Dareth asked them.
"Mr. E?" They ask about the name.
"Which is he?" Cole asked.
"The one with the red visor." Dareth replied. "The guy with the bandage on his face, smoking the cigarette, they call him Scars because he has scars on his face and his chest. Said the recent cut makes it his 18th scar. Heard it was Geoff who gave him the scar."
"He did."
"Well, nobody talks to those guys because Mr. E doesn't talk, Scars can be intimidating because of the scars and Ultra Violet is off her rocker."
"If we can't talk to them, how are we supposed to gain their trust?" Cole asked as Zane soon sees Seymour and Timor, arm wrestling.
"Hey, those are the guards from the palace." He said as Cole, Gewuji and Dareth look to see them. They were both dressed in biker clothing, arm wrestling. "Seymour and Timor."
"Those twins have been in the Sons of Garmadon ever since it first started." Dareth replied.
Seymour forced Timor's arm to the right, winning it, immediately standing up, and whooped for his victory. "Beat you again, baby brother!" He yelled.
The member from before then growled at Dareth, making the four of them look at him. "I said, where the ****'s my boba?!" He asked, banging the bar as he did so.
Dareth quickly handed the three disguised Ninja some random cocktails. "Sorry, can't help." He said. "Gotta go." He turns back to the drinks to get the member his boba.
"All right, Snake Jaguar, fire up your processors and tell us how we do this." Cole said as Cole grabs a cocktail.
"I've already ran countless simulations, and out of the 1,542 ways this could go, there's only one. But it's complicated... and dangerous."
"Then it's a good thing my last name is Dangerbuff. Lay it on me." He takes a sip.
"You have to sing."
"Really?"
"I'm afraid so."
"Well, I'm afraid I'm taking a break from singing."
Zane then looked at Gewuji as she was about to take a sip of another cocktail. "Then, Gewuji... you have to do it."
Immediately realising she was getting subjugated, Gewuji spits out her drink. "What?" She asked. "Didn't you hear me? I can't sing. You know that only my brother does the singing. I'm not as good as him."
"Gewuji, you probably don't even know."
"Fine, at least I'll have a go." She grabs the cocktail, scowls it, and slams the glass onto the bar, breaking it before getting up and tosses a coin to Zane. "Pick the song for me."
On the upper floor where Mr. E, Ultra Violet and Scars were, they see Gewuji going over to the karaoke booth while Zane went to the jukebox. "Seems like another girl wants to join." Ultra Violet said.
"Let's just see how well she sings." Scars replied, puffing his cigarette.
"Um, hello." Gewuji said as the members turn to her as Timor was suspicious of her. "Uh, I'm Valencia Clouse. I'm really not that good, but I'll at least give it a try." Zane inserts a coin, picks a song, and presses the button the song started, surprising her, but she started to sing. "#We're no strangers to love, You know the rules and so do I, A full commitment's what I'm thinking of, You wouldn't get this from any other guy#" She started to sing. "#I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling, Gotta make you understand#"
"Impressive." Ultra Violet said as the members start to cheer and Scars nodded, agreeing with her, while Mr. E just looked on.
"#Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you, Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you#" In the bridge aboard the Bounty, Kai, Jay, Lloyd, Nya, Geoff, Maggie, Blake and Harumi look at the monitor through Zane's point of view to hear Gewuji singing with the members enjoying it. "#We've known each other for so long, Your heart's been aching, but, You're too shy to say it, Inside, we both know what's been going on, We know the game and we're gonna play it#"
"What is Gewuji doing?" Jay asked.
"I don't know, but please tell me you are recording this." Kai replied. "Geoff, your sister is really amazing."
"#And if you ask me how I'm feeling, Don't tell me you're too blind to see#" Gewuji sang as she was on the monitor.
"Wow." Geoff simply said. "She never told me she has talent."
"#Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you, Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you#"
"Lloyd, you just lost a special girl." Jay said to Lloyd, who frowns a little, almost regretting his breakup with her.
"#Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you, Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you#"
"Zane informed me that he has a plan to gain the Sons of Garmadon's trust." P.I.X.A.L. said through the monitor as Gewuji does a quick spin. "But for it to work, we must trust him."
"Uh, no one answered my question." Kai said.
"#Never gonna give, never gonna give, Never gonna give, never gonna give#" Gewuji sang on the monitor. "#We've known each other for so long, Your heart's been aching, but, You're too shy to say it, Inside, we both know what's been going on, We know the game and we're gonna play it#"
"Yes, Kai, yes, I am recording." Jay said to him. "And I'm making copies. Lots of copies."
"#I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling, Gotta make you understand#"
"Make sure to give me a copy." Geoff said as they watch Gewuji do a backflip with the members cheering even more for that action. "I think my sister should become a professional singer like me."
"#Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you, Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you#" At Laughy's, Seymour tapped his foot to the music while Timor just looked on, trying to recognise her as the members kept cheering while Gewuji was enjoying it herself. "#Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you, Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you. Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you, Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you#" With that, the song ended, and the members started to cheer, some even demanding more.
"I'd say she's in." Scars said to Ultra Violet as he walked over to the stairs, throwing his cigarette away as he did so, with Ultra Violet nodding her head in agreement.
