At the entrance to Primeval's Eye, Mr. E, Ultra Violet, Scars and Killow stop their bikes. "The Bounty went down just as the Quiet One's planned." Killow said.
Barry, Seymour, Timor and some members soon stop behind them as Ultra Violet thinks a bit with the other male generals looking at her. There was someone on the back of Seymour's bike. The individual, wearing a brown jacket, cream coloured t-shirt, grey khakis and grey boots, had a sack over their head and their hands were bound behind their back. "This is gonna be fun." She replied before cackling.
They turn around to see Seymour take off his helmet. "It's just..." He tries to think of what to say.
"What is it?" Scars asked.
Seymour thinks a little before eventually replying. "What about the others who went? And the stories about the sea monster?"
Killow gets off his bike, comes up to Seymour, grabs his leg, and raises him high. "And what do you think The Quiet One will do to you, you woofter?" He asked as he shook him. "Hmm?"
"It'll be worse than whatever we find out there, I promise you." Ultra Violet said to Seymour before Killow lets him go.
They quickly get back on their bikes as the individual growled. "You bastard, take this sack off!" They yelled with a feminine voice.
"Shut up, you bitch." Seymour replied before they rev their engines with Ultra Violet ululating, and drive into the jungle.
Further in the jungle, Lloyd and Harumi move along as some Strangle Weed close by grabs a nearby lizard and drags it away. Harumi cuts another vine out of the way, and then another. "Stuck in a palace all your life, did you ever imagine you'd be in a place like this?" Lloyd asked as Harumi cuts another vine.
"Hacking my way through Primeval's Eye?" She asked before cutting another vine. "Not so much." She soon stopped. "But to be perfectly honest..." She turns around to face him. "I always dreamed being with you. Even while you were with Gewuji." Lloyd soon smiled at her before they continue on with Harumi cutting another vine down.
As they keep moving, Lloyd looks at the blanket map. "So, according to this, we're almost to the Black River. We just have to get past this part that reads 'Strangler's Path.'"
Harumi had just cut another vine when she heard the name. "Did you say Strangler's Path? That's cheery. Why is it called that?"
"Places like these always have colourful names. Half the time, it doesn't mean anything. The Caves of Despair, Blind Man's Eye, Hiroshi's Labyrinth." A Strangle Weed starts coming up behind him. "Probably just some bored mapmaker with a wild-" The Strangle Weed soon grabs him, forcing him onto the ground, and starts to drag him away.
"Lloyd?" She starts to run after the Strangle Weed.
"Harumi!" As it was dragging him away, the blanket map comes off of Lloyd and drags him along the ground, getting dirty as he was being dragged until the Strangle Weed then turned left, coming across what almost resembled a tree. "You're kidding me." He turns around to try and find something to grab, but finds nothing, until something struck the Strangle Weed, causing it to lose a piece of it, and let go of Lloyd as it growled in pain. Seeing the object that struck it was his sword, Lloyd turned around to see that Harumi, who had the blanket map in her hand was the one that threw it before coming up to him. "I-It just- It tried to-" Lloyd found himself stuttering as Harumi came up to him. "You just threw-" he slowly crawled away. "How the hell did the tree-?" The Strangle Weed tree growled once again before Lloyd got up and looked at Harumi. "Where did you learn to throw a sword like that?" He brushes himself as best as he could to get the dirt off.
"I-I don't know." She grabs hold of his hands. "You were gonna be eaten. I-I-I got lucky, I guess."
"'Luck'? You were clear over here, and-" He was soon cut off when Harumi suddenly kissed his left cheek, silencing him. They soon look at each other and Lloyd was surprised by it.
"Should I not have done that? After you just broke up with Gewuji?"
"No. I mean, yes. I mean-" He once again stuttered before sighing. "I guess now we know why they call it Strangler's Path." He grabs his sword with his right arm, which was surprisingly not causing any pain, and held it out to Harumi, who takes it, and hands him the map.
"How's your arm?"
Lloyd moves it about a little. "It feels all right now."
By the Destiny's Bounty, Blake was pulling out some pieces from the thruster as Cole notices. "Why take that apart now?" He asked. "We're trying to get out of here, and you pull all of these out of the thruster!"
"Sometimes it's best to check inside it." Blake replied before turning back to him, in anger. "Now, you can keep nagging me, or you can start by working on the components by the bridge!"
"Alright, don't lose your temper, I'll get right on it." Cole starts climbing up the ladder as Blake watches him leave.
"Bastard."
In the bridge, Zane and P.I.X.A.L. were trying to get the monitor back online. "Try now." Zane said as he was working on a few wires.
P.I.X.A.L. moves a lever, but it doesn't work. "No." She replied.
Zane works the wires a bit. "And now?"
She moves the lever again, but gets the same result. "No." She was starting to get annoyed as Zane came around to her.
"I detect frustration from you, yet that emotion is not needed for this task. Is something wrong?"
"No." She looks away, trying to lie, but looks back. "Yes." She walks over to him as he was about to get back to the wires. "Zane, may I ask you something?"
He smiles. "You have half my heart. You can ask me anything."
"Was I more...useful inside the computer?"
"What sort of question is that?"
"You can be honest with me, because I want to be a useful member of the team, but I would prefer not to return to the computer." She looks at the console. "I like having a body, but if you require my assistance in your headset-"
"The choice has always been yours, P.I.X.A.L." Zane cuts her off. "And I, for one, like seeing you like this."
"Good." Zane starts to head back to the wires. "Remind me to thank Blake for rebuilding my body."
"I shall." He kneels down to the wires and moves them about. "Now?"
P.I.X.A.L. moves the lever. "Still no."
"I'll kill you, you stupid crappy cords!" (A/N: "It's not crappy cords, Zane, it's wires." The writer called out, causing Zane to turn to him. "Just you leave it, writer!")
Further away, the Sons of Garmadon stop with as Mr, E and Ultra Violet were in front of them while Scars and Mr. E were at the back. Confused at the sudden stop, Scars and Killow head over to the other two. "Why have we stopped?" Scars asked as Killow bumps a few bikers as he moved past them.
"Because I don't fly." Ultra Violet replied, pointing towards the gorge ahead of them.
They both look down when Scars notices something, and points it out to Killow, who smiles before turning back to the bikers. "Why fly when you have this?" He asked as he gets out the Mask of Deception, puts it on, laughing as he did so, turned back to the gorge, and held his hands out, causing some rocks from and around the gorge to rise up, come over it, and lowered, creating a bridge out of rocks, impressing everyone as Mr. E and Ultra Violet look at each other and nod. Killow removes the mask and turns back to them. "Now, let's ride." Scars and Killow head back to their bikes as the Sons of Garmadon start their bikes, and drive along the newly commissioned bridge with Ultra Violet ululating all the way with Scars and Killow catching up.
By the Bounty, the Ninja were still working on it as Blake had just finished reassembling the thruster, and Jay and Geoff were putting some metal scrap away with Jay sighing and wiping sweat off his forehead. On the bridge, Cole was working on the console around the helm while Kai, Gewuji and Maggie were taking some leaves out. Cole then grunted as he tightened a nail with a screwdriver. "I wonder if Lloyd and Rumi are okay." He said.
"I'm sure they're fine." Gewuji replied, taking some leaves away from the helm.
"They don't seem to have any trouble looking out for each other." Kai said as he, Gewuji and Maggie kept collecting leaves.
"Yeah, I have noticed they've gotten pretty close." Cole replied. "Probably a bit longer than him and Gewuji getting close." He holds his hand out. "Pass the wrench."
"Got the wrench?" Maggie called out to Jay and Geoff.
"Wrench coming your way." Geoff replied, throwing the wrench over, which Maggie catches with her Magnetism Power, and hands it to Cole, who tightens a component with it.
"You know, if things keep heating up, I wonder what we'll call him next." Cole said. "'The Royal Green Ninja'?"
"I, sort of, like it." Gewuji said, referring to Cole's title suggestion. "It would suit him."
"I am exaggerating, Gewuji." Cole holds his hand out. "Pliers."
"Got pliers?" Kai called out to Jay and Geoff.
"I don't have pliers." Jay replied as Geoff look down at Blake from the railing.
"Blake, have you got the pliers?" He asked.
"Coming your way!" He yelled, grabbing some pliers nearby, and throws them upward, behind his back.
Jay sees them fly onto the deck and prepares to catch them, but falls back, and a small hand quickly caught them. "Oh." He said as he took them. "Why, thank you." He soon looked at them before he turned to see that the one who caught the pliers was Jack, who is wearing beige footie pyjamas, and standing on his legs before he giggles. "Cole?" He chuckles a little. "I thought you put the baby down for a nap."
"You mean little Jack?" Cole asked. "I did, but he was pretty restless."
"Uh-huh." Jack starts bouncing and laughing. "Yeah."
"Then why is little Jack standing in front of us, having caught and passed the pliers to Jay?" Geoff asked as he watched his adoptive nephew start to move about while giggling.
This got everyone's attention and they come down to the deck to see Jack moving around, giggling. "Jack is walking now?" Gewuji asked, surprised at her adoptive son's sudden change.
"I don't know much about babies, but are babies supposed to walk?" Cole asked.
"No." Maggie replied. "No, they're not."
Jay and Geoff soon move aside as Jack came over to the table. "And I don't think they know what pliers are." Kai said as Jack hops up, grabs a cup of tea, blows it, and starts to drink it.
"And they definitely can't do that." Geoff replied.
"Okay, now I've seen it all." Jay said, moving his arms about as he backed away. "Now I really quit!"
Jack turns to Jay while lowering the cup and exhaled out of relief. "Ninja never quit." He replied before giggling, surprising them all, at the fact he could now talk, and that he said the team motto. This got them all to realise who Jack truly was.
"Uh, guys, I don't think that's Jack." Jack takes another sip from his tea and giggles. "Gewuji, this'll be a shock for you and us as well. But your son, is Master Dragon Wu." This got everyone to look each other, completely shocked and surprised, Gewuji the most. They had already found their master.
