After a few more minutes of the paper route, Antonia, Sylvester and Nelson stop in an alleyway for a lunch break. "Is it always like that out here?" Nelson asked as Antonia got out her lunch and Sylvester was opening his bag.
"Like what?" Antonia asked as Nelson took his helmet off.
"Missiles and monsters and snakes and lava balls and giant robots?"
An explosion soon occurred close by. "Pretty much. One time, there was a bunch of crazy bikers. There was even worshippers of the dead."
"Sometimes out of the city as well." Sylvester said, getting a sandwich out. "One time, this giant eyeball thing and ghosts attacked the city where I used to live. That's why I moved out here."
Nelson soon opened his bag. "Aw, man." He said as they both see him get out his sandwich, which is now basically charcoal. "My lunch got hit by a fireball." The sandwich soon crumbled.
Sylvester soon dug into his bag and got out a spare sandwich. "Here."
Nelson was surprised to see his fellow paperboy handing him something. "Go on." Antonia said.
"I told my mom that I was going on a diet, anyway."
"Thanks." Nelson said as he took the sandwich and takes a bite.
"We paperboys gotta stick together." Antonia said. "The city's crazy, but everyone's doing their part."
"We may not be ninja, but our job's important, too." Sylvester said. "People gotta know what's going on."
"The news never sleeps." Nelson replied, reciting the paperboys' motto.
"The news never sleeps." Antonia said, repeating.
"The news never sleeps." Sylvester said, also repeating.
After finishing lunch, Antonia, Nelson and Sylvester were back on the route, throwing newspapers in different directions with Nelson jumping over a passing snake that was chasing someone and Sylvester moving to the right to avoid one charging at him. As they kept throwing newspapers, P.I.X.A.L. flies along, firing rockets at a nearby snake. A fireball soon lands in front of them, and a snake turns to them, roaring as it did so. "I'll go left, you guys go right." They move toward the snake as it soon charged at them, but Antonia moves to the left while Sylvester and Nelson move right simultaneously, managing to avoid the snake. It soon turned around to try and catch up to them, but Nelson throws a stack of newspapers at it, fazing it.
While Antonia and Sylvester smile in compliment, whistle blowing was soon heard as they look forward to see a roadblock with Hayden, holding a Remington Model 887, in front of it as he immediately blew a whistle for them stop. "NCPD!" He called out. "Return to your homes, immediately!" They simply move left, ride onto his squad car and jump over him. Hayden was a little surprised before they all soon went over the roadblock, landing on the other side. Hayden immediately turns to them as they took off, catching a newspaper in his hands while dropping his shotgun before putting his left hand to his mouth to be louder. "Come back! Or I'll place you all under arrest!" He then groans when they don't even stop as they continue throwing newspapers around. "Why do kids never listen?" A fireball soon hits his hat. "Dragon's turd!" He immediately takes it off, throw it and the newspaper at the snake responsible, holds his hands out, and fires a shot of Uranium at it, causing it to explode. (A/N: Second time his hat gets ruined)
Antonia, Sylvester and Nelson kept throwing newspapers out with a man on a rooftop catching one. "Thanks, new guy." He called out as Antonia and Sylvester wave to him while they all pass by. "Thanks, Sylvester. Thanks, Antonia."
They soon turn their bikes to skid to a halt when they notice something in the sky. "What's that?" Nelson asked.
"HELP!" There was a man on piece of a wall, flying by.
"I have no clue." Antonia said to Nelson, answering his question.
The wall piece soon lands close to a tree, and they all turn to it. They quickly head over to it, get off their bikes, and came up to the man, who was lying in the bushes. The man appeared middle aged with black hair, sideburns and a stubble with an eyepatch over his left eye. "That's Clutch Powers!" Sylvester said. "The famed archaeologist."
Antonia and Nelson soon help him up. "Gee, Mr. Powers, you okay?"
Clutch groans as he tried to look around. "Where am I?" He asked. "What day is it?"
"What? It's Monday."
"You're in Ninjago City." Sylvester said.
"You must have hit your head pretty hard." Nelson said.
Clutch tries to think of what had happened before realising. "I gotta warn someone." He said, quickly switching his eyepatch to cover his right eye. "I gotta tell them."
"Tell them what?"
Clutch soon grabbed hold of Nelson's shirt. "The Ninja. They're trapped. They need help!"
"Trapped?" Sylvester asked before forcing Clutch away from Nelson. "Where? How?"
"The pyramid. Someone's gotta-" He groans a little from starting to become disoriented. "Get to the pyramid, to help them before... Before..." He groans again. "Before-" He soon collapses, causing Nelson to gasp.
