No One P.O.V

Nya removed the cloth and showed everyone the remains of a Fangpyre. Both the ninja and the children are there to take notes

"Some villagers unearthed the remains of this Fangpyre a few miles away. It predates the Golden Age,  and must be hundreds of years old. Although the venom in the fangs of the Fangpyre genetically mutate human cells into reptilian,  I've learned there could be a way to stop the effects without having to create an antivenom. If one is able to wildly raise their heart rate, hypothetically it could reverse the venom's effects. Resulting in... diminished... Uh" Nya covered her nose

"What's wrong Nya?" Miku asked and Crystal walked towards her and scanned her

"It seems she's having an allergic reaction" Crystal said

"Is there something that Miss Nya shouldn't be near of?" Akatsuki asked

"Is someone wearing perfume? I am severely allergic to perfume" Nya said, Jay jumped and whispered to Kai

"You told me it was men's cologne" Jay whispered

"Eh, I get them mixed up" Kai said, and the guys started laughing

"What's so funny about that?" Crystal asked, and she turned to look at Nya "Nya, I suggest you leave the area for now until it clears away"

"Looks like class is over. Time to start stomping on some Serpentine before they find any Fangblades" Cole said

"Sounds like a plan" Kai said

"I'm excited to join" Zane said and Crystal followed her older brother so she can watch him train

"Come on, Akatsuki. Let's get some things for Nya" Miku said as she grabbed his hand and Akatsuki's face turned red as they left, leaving Nya and Jay alone

"Uh... Hey, Nya. I'm sorry. The reason I was- You know- I went to Kai because-" Jay was trying to find the proper sentence to say "Look, what I'm trying to say is-"

"I know. It's just a cruel joke. I should be fine. Please, go fight snakes" Nya said

"No, no, no. I was trying to impress you. Before sensei left, he said our heart was the key to unlocking our true potential" Jay said, and Nya looked surprised

"Impress me? But I look so..."

"Fantastic" Jay said, and Nya looked away with a blush look "Look, maybe if you'll let me, I can take you to some big fancy restaurant. You don't have to if you don't want to..."

"You mean like a date?" Nya asked

"Um, yeah?" Jay answered, but sounding a bit unsure

"Sure! I'd love to. But I have to go now before the perfume toxins enter my bloodstream and I go into shock. See you tonight" Nya said as she quickly leaves the room

"Yes! Ha Ha!" Jay was doing his happy dance, but the fang of the Fangpyre scratched his hand "Ouch!" Jay cried, but shrugged it off as he continues to do his happy dance while he failed to notice the Fangpyre's venom dripping from the fang

With Wu and Garmadon

"Hello, brother. What took you so long? You brought the katana from our youth. Funny, you never had the courage to cross the temple wall, yet now you have the courage to come here" Garmadon said with his back turned from Wu

"Why have you come to this place of darkness?" Wu asked

"A place as wicked as me? Don't you see? Here I feel at home. Back in Ninjago, I was physically unable to hold all four Spinjitzu weapons. But here, dark magic has made me stronger, and what was once impossible is now possible" Garmadon said as he turned to face Wu showing him his four arms, and Wu was surprised

"You came here only to possess the weapons of Spinjitzu?" Wu asked still surprised

"Yes, brother, and I refuse to allow you or your petty ninja to stop me!" Garmadon said as he grabbed four weapon for each of his hands to hold, and the two brothers started fighting each other. While fighting Wu slips down into the mud pit and three mud monsters emerged out, and started heading towards Wu. Wu used his Spinjitzu to fight the mud monsters

"Brother, I've not come here to-"

"You will pay for your visit. Mud monsters, converge!" Garmadon said as the mud monsters started to drown Wu in the mud "You don't belong here, old fool. You should've known better than try to stop me"

"I didn't come to stop you. I came to warn you. To tell you-" Wu was struggling in the mud monster's grasps "Your son is in danger!" Wu managed to say

"Lloyd?" Then Garmadon rushed over and pulled Wu out "What has Lloyd gotten himself into?" Garmadon asked

"He has opened a can of worms, I fear I will never be able to close" Wu said

"You mean we will never be able to close. Get up. You can tell me more later. First, we need to return home" Garmadon said as he helped Wu up "How did you find me?"

"Traveler's tea. But I used it all and now have no way back" Wu said

"There is only way to return to Ninjago. But to get there, we must pass through the Mountain of Madness and it is a long and dangerous road ahead" Garmadon said

"I wouldn't have it any other way" Wu said

"We should leave. Before it really gets dark" With that said, they started walking "By the way, how is Miku?"

"She is doing alright. But she awaken to her powers early, and she inherited your elemental powers" Wu said

"Darkness...! But what made her awaken her powers?" Garmadon asked

"It had something to do with Lloyd and her anger awaken her powers" Wu said

"I see... I never dreamed of her awakening to her powers so soon" Garmadon said

Miku P.O.V

After Nya's allergy went down, I passed by the ninja's room and Jay getting dressed up, he was also saying how excited he is for his big date with Nya

'Date? I wonder what people do on dates?' I asked myself as I continued walking down the hallway of the ship. I walked up to the deck to see Crystal using the training equipment, so far she's doing great

"She learns really quick" I said

"Right? I think she copied the guys movements during their training" Akatsuki said

"Miku! Did you see that?" Crystal asked as she walked towards us

"Yeah, that was really cool!" I said

"Really?! Yay!" Crystal looked happy

"Hey, you guys" Both Akatsuki and Crystal looked at me "What do grown ups do on dates?" I asked

Crystal started thinking while Akatsuki's face turned red

"D-Date... Why are you asking?" Akatsuki asked

"Because Jay looked excited of a date that he's planning with Nya, so I was curious" I said

"According to my database, dates is something planned by male or female. They go to restaurants, cafes, movies or travel. There's actually a large verity of what couples do on dates. That's all I know" Crystal said

"I see. Maybe I'll understand it more when I get older" I said

Then the ninja called us through the speakers, telling us to meet them in the control room

"Hey you three, we heading to Mega Monster Amusement Park. A Fangblade is located there and the Serpentine are also there too" Kai said

"Really?" I asked

"Yeah, but we're not allowing you guys to go. We're not gonna risk the Serpentine taking you guys" Cole said 

"That's understandable" Crystal said

"So, wait here on the Bounty until we get back" Zane said

"Okay!" We all said in unison, and they left

"What should we do while we wait for them?" Akatsuki asked

"How about we try training? I can show you guys the simple stuff" Crystal said

"Sounds good to me" I said and grabbed Akatsuki's hand, and we started heading up deck, but I failed to notice Akatsuki's bright red face

No One's P.O.V - With Wu and Garmadon

"So, what kind of trouble has Lloyd gotten himself into?" Garmadon asked

"Well, I'm afraid to say, the worst kind. He's re-opened the Serpentine tombs, and now that they have united, Pythor is trying to find the four silver Fangblades to unleash the Great Devourer" Wu said

"The very snake that turned me evil?" Garmadon asked

"Yes" Wu answered

"Why would Lloyd open the tombs?" Garmadon asked

"To be like you"

"I never intended him to. Thank you for watching my children" Garmadon thanked Wu

"Hm. You may think of me as your enemy, but I was first your brother. Plus Lloyd had his friend with him before he was taken" Wu said

"Friend?"

"Yes. A young boy, around Lloyd's age, his name is Akatsuki" Wu said and Garmadon stopped walking

"Did you say he?"

"Yes. Is something wrong?" Wu asked

"He's not trying to make a move on my daughter, is he?" Garmadon asked

"No, he has not" Wu answered

"Once I get back, I might want to have a word with him" Garmadon said sounding agitated and started to walk again

'Protective father mode' Wu thought to himself as speed walked to catch with his brother

Mega Monster Amusement Park with Nya and Jay

Nya and Jay were inside the restaurant at the amusement park, so far everything is going smoothly

"Yeah, even when I was young, it was clear I was born and bred for adventure. I was the first one to get my knot badge in Lil Scouts. I was always trying daring foods" Jay was telling Nya his story of his days as a child, then a sound of beeping came out from Nya's bracelet. She looked at it while Jay was still telling the tale "I built these wings from scrap metal and other-" Then he heard the beeping sound "Uh, you okay?" Jay asked as he slid his giant burger aside "Uh, you seem kind of distant"

"Uh, yeah" Nya answered as she slid her burger aside too "It's just the portions are so big. And to think we split our dish" Nya said and Jay chuckled

"So, that Samurai. Oh man. I hate him, don't you? He's such a showboat, you know. If you ask me, he's nothing without his big, clunky exo-suit" Jay said and Nya did not look happy

"Oh" Nya said looking displeased

"Yeah. Nothing can compare to good old fashioned feet and fists, don't you think?" Jay asked

"Yeah, sure" Nya said

"You know, sssomebody once told me..." Jay quickly covered his mouth when he realized he started hissing on the s. He grabbed a spoon, looked at his reflection and noticed two snake fangs

"You okay?" Nya asked

"Exussse me. I have to use the ressstroom!" Jay said as he quickly left for the restrooms

When Jay got to the restroom, he quickly washed his face, then he took off his glove and was shocked to see his hand covered in green scales

"Oh, gosh, I'm turning into a ssssnake!" Jay exclaimed as he ran into one of unoccupied bathrooms. A second later, he heard someone trying to enter "I'm busssy, dude! Can't you sssee it's taken?" Jay said and the person left

With the ninjas - Outside of Ghost Train ride

The ninja were outside of the ride, and wondering where is everyone, then a crowd of people came running out of the ride feeling scared

"Wait a minute. That ride was never scary" Cole said

"Venomari" Zane said

"Should we get Jay?" Kai asked

"Let's not bother the two lovebirds. I think we can handle this" Cole said, and they entered the ride to find the Serpentine and the Fangblade

With Nya

Nya heard her bracelet going off again and looks at it

"Sorry, Jay. Duty calls" Nya said as she grabs her purse and leaves

With Jay in the bathroom

Jay looked at himself in the mirror again, and more scales started to cover face "Ah, you don't look so bad. Just go out there and tell her the truth" Jay told himself and he heard something rip from behind, there he felt a tail growing "Ah! I have a tail! No, no, it'sss okay, Jay. Lot of girlsss like tailsss" Then he left the bathroom to head back to the table, but only to find Nya is no longer there "She left? Nya?"

"S-S-Snake!" One of the customers screamed and everyone turned to look at Jay, and they started hitting him with food, utensils or their fists

"No! Ssstop! You don't underssstand!" Jay tries to explain, but the crowd continued to hit him

With the Ninja

As they traveled through the ride, they heard Pythor's voice 

"Ha ha ha! The first Fangblade is ours!" Pythor said

Then Kai, Zane and Cole pulled out their weapons

"Not so fast!" Kai shouted

"Really? That's the best you got?" Cole asked as he shook his head in disappoint

"I couldn't think of anything on the fly" Kai said

"How about Time to burn or Jump on this fire ride?" Cole suggested

"Well, next time you lead" Kai said

"Next time I will" Cole argued

"Oh yeah? If you can catch up!" Kai argued back

"You gotta follow my lead" Cole said

And the Serpentine started getting ready to attack. Zane threw his shurikens, Cole pushed back a Venomari with his scythe, Kai blocked the Fangpyre attack and Cole kicked the Fangpyre away

"Ninjas? Ninjas aren't scary" A man said as he sat on the ride looking confused

"Watch and learn, brothers" Zane's eyes glowed as he uses his new found powers after unlocking his true potential, but ended freezing himself, Kai and Cole "Oops"

And the Serpentine started laughing at them and they ran away, but a magnet beam aimed at the Fangblade from Pythor's hands, and now the blade is in the hands of the Samurai

"Stop him!" Pythor ordered

The Samurai tries to fly away but the rocket boosters malfunctioned

"Thruster malfunction" Then the Samurai tries running. The Samurai ran through the rides as the Serpentine were chasing him, he jumped over the bottom part of the rollercoaster. The Serpentine jumped over, but a Venomari was hit by the ride. The Samurai climbed up and slid down like the ride as the Serpentine watched.

After running, the Constrictai dug up from underground and jumped onto the Samurai's Exo-suit, and started hitting the suit. After hitting, the suit shut down on the ground and Pythor slithered towards the Samurai as the suit opens itself

"Finally, the mystery man is revealed" Pythor grabbed the helmet and revealed Nya, making the Serpentine gasp "Or should I have said mystery girl. Who's gonna save you now, hmm?" Pythor asked with a smirk

With Jay

After Jay got away from a mob of people, he started to look for Nya. While looking for her, he saw a small group of Serpentine and Pythor holding the Fangblade

"Hey!" Jay called to them. The Serpentine pulled out their weapons and Jay pulled out his nunchucks, and the Serpentine laughed when they noticed his snake tail sticking out

"Oh, what happened? Snake bite got your tongue?" Pythor taunted and the Serpentine laughed harder

Jay was about to charge at them when he heard Nya calling out to him

"Jay! Help" Jay looked up and saw Nya tied up on the rollercoaster ride and struggled to free herself

Pythor signaled the Constrictai and he pulled the lever for the ride

"Later, alligator. Let's go boys" Pythor and the Serpentine started to leave, and Jay rushed towards the rollercoaster and got on the ride

"What happened to you?" Nya asked

"What happened to you?" Jay asked

They both looked ahead and saw the part of the coaster's railings broken and a ring of fire at the other side. Jay tried to free Nya but couldn't

"Uuuh... We have to get you out of here" Jay said as he tried to loosen the chain, and Nya saw the tail

"Were you bit? Take off your head scarf" Nya said

"I prefer not. I wasss meaning to tell you, but I didn't want it to ruin the date" Jay said

"Oh, that's so sweet" Nya said as she tries to slip out of the chains, but then remembered something "Hey, you were the first in your Lil Scouts group to get your knot badge, right?"

"Yeah, about that. I made that up jussst ssso I could impressss you. I was never in Lil Ssscouts" Jay admitted

"You weren't? Hold on" Nya said said

"What? You have an idea" Jay asked

"No, hold on!" Nya said and Jay quickly hopped into the seat next to Nya as the ride went down and the scarf Jay was using to cover his head was blown off to reveal his snake like face

Once Jay realized his scarf isn't on his head anymore, he quickly looked away

"Aah, don't look at me. I'm a monssster!" Jay said "Though I hate the Sssamuari, here is he when you actually need him?" Then Jay started calling out to the Samurai

"Jay, I don't think the Samurai is coming" Nya said

"Why?" He asked

"I know this might not be the best time, but I haven't been totally honest either" Nya said

"What isss it?" He asked again

"I... I'm the Samurai!" Nya admitted and Jay was shocked

"You're the Samurai?!" Then he looked up ahead and noticed that almost at the broken part of the track of the ride "Aah! We're running out of track!" Jay screamed

"Jay, if anything horrible were to happen, I want you to know that you don't have to wear cologne or pretend to be anything that you're not. Because I like you best when you're you" Nya said as she kissed Jay on his cheek and Jay's snakey appearance started to change back to normal "Your face... Your returning back to normal!"

"It's like you said. You must have raised my heart rate" Jay said

Whatever happens next, just remember, you are the best you" Nya said and Jay's body started to glow "What's happening?" Nya asked

"My true potential" Jay said as he teleported in front of the ride to stop the coaster from moving forward, and finally the coaster stopped

At the entrance of Mega Monster Amusement Park

After freeing Zane, Kai and Cole from the ice, Nya told them about her identity

"You really had me fooled. I never guessed you were the Samurai" Zane said

"I wish I had a sister like you" Cole said

"Technically, I was the first to discover her secret, and didn't we agree whoever thought was the best would naturally be the Green Ninja?" Kai asked "Huh? The Green Ninja! The destined ninja to defeat Garmadon, huh?"

"Why would we say that?" Jay asked, pretending that he didn't remember

"Yeah, I'm drawing a blank" Cole said

"Nope. That conversation is not in my database" Zane said

Kai looked upset

"You know what I learned today?" Jay said

"What's that?" Nya asked

"No matter what kind of secret you have, whether you're a snake or samurai, it's important to be yourself" Jay said

"Yeah, that's cute. But you wanna know what I learned? The Serpentine now have the first Fangblade" Cole said

"But we are getting stronger. One day, we will all reach our true potential and Pythor will be stopped" Zane said

"And we figured all of this out without sensei. Pretty good for four ninja" Then Nya hit Jay's shoulder "And a Samurai"

"I wonder what sensei is doing right now" Kai wondered as they all started heading back to the Bounty

With Wu and Garmadon

"We're here" Garmadon said as they stopped walking "The Mountain of Madness" Garmadon pointed up ahead

"The only way back to Ninjago is up there?" Wu asked

"The worst is yet to come" Garmadon said as they started walking again
