Jay, with a bandanna over his mouth, came up to a tavern's entrance as he saw a wanted poster of himself, Kai, Zane, Lloyd and Cole. He entered to see only the bartender, watching TV.

Bartender: We're closed.

Jay lowerd his bandana.

Jay: I'm starving. You got anything?

Bartender: Anything? Sure.

He pointed to a nearby vending machine before turning back to the TV. Jay headed over to the vending machine and saw a snack with his and the other ninja's faces on it.

Jay: Ninja chips. Mm. My favorite.

He checkes his pockets for change. While the commissioner talkes on TV.

Commissioner: Any questions?

Reporter 1: How do you find a ninja?

Jay turned to the bartender, watching the news.

Commissioner: The ninja are still at large and public enemy number one.

Reporter 2: Did fame turn them?

Jay turned back to the vending machine and used his Lightning power to hack into it. The ninja chips started to come loose.

Jay: Gentle.

He nervously looked over to the bartender and back.

Jay: Gentle.

The chips got stuck.

Jay: Oh, come on!

In frustration, Jay short circuited the vending machine, disabling it and turned to the bartender in shock.

Commissioner: We've taken their ship as well as secured their known hideouts.

Jay started to leave, but rolled the cue ball on a nearby pool table.

Commissioner: They will be caught and pay for their crime spree.

The cue ball landed into a pocket, attracting the bartender's attention.

Commissioner: I bet my reelection on it.

The bartender saw that Jay was no longer there and the door was open.

Reporter 3: Can you tell us what's being done to find them?

Commissioner: No-No more questions.

At the police station, reporters were still asking questions.

Commissioner: That is all.

He headed inside.

Ronin: Looks like you don't have an eye for this sort of work. You're never gonna catch them, Commish. If you wanna catch a ninja, you have to know a ninja.

Commissioner: Ronin, you're no better than the crooks you catch. I'll find them. I've already got that bookworm, Misako, in custody.

Ronin: But what about the Sensei and the snake?

Commissioner: Wu and Pyther? Oh, they were last seen entering the Library of Domu, but no one saw them come out. Those-Those ninja. They get all that power then use it to do what? Rob the only place that loved them. Spoiled brats! So, uh, you sure you can bring them to justice?

Ronin: Heh, with a bow on. All I need in return is a clean slate, so I can pile all that fresh money you're gonna give me onto it.

Commissioner: Catch all five of them, Mr. Ronin, you can have anything you want.

Ronin: It's six. There's six of them now. And she's probably the toughest one to catch.

The reporters barged in and surrounded the Commissioner with microphones.

Misako, Tommy, and Simon were in an interrogation room.

Simon: Just come clean, tell us where they are.

Tommy: We know you're protecting them. Spill it!

Misako: Like I said, it wasn't them. They were framed. You should be searching for the real culprits.

Tommy: Right. That's what my mother would say too. Maybe we should give her some time to sweat it out. Come on, Simon.

They started to leave.

Misako: Why won't you tell me where Wu is? I wish to speak to someone in charge!

They slammed the door. Nadakhan appeared.

Nadakhan: Your wish is yours to keep.

Misako: My wish? No.

Nadakhan: Oh, yes.

Misako: Help! Uncuff me! Don't leave me alone with him!

Nadakhan: No one's behind there, unfortunately. Ooh. Someone was kind enough to bring donuts.

Misako: I know you. You're Nadakhan the Djinn. I knew it. Clouse was looking for the Teapot of Tyrahn.

Nadakhan: Oh, you mean...this?

He showed her the teapot.

Nadakhan: It's smaller in person, I know. I was trapped inside it for longer than I care to recall. But now Clouse is in there. And he has Wu and that young Anacondrai to keep him company.

He showed Clouse, Pyther and Wu inside the teapot.

Misako: Wu! Pyther! What have you done to them? What do you want?

Nadakhan: A good captain never leaves his crew behind, and mine was taken from me.

Misako: I've read about you. You were a pirate captain. The stories said you could grant wishes for others, but not for yourself. Is that why you made your living taking what never belonged to you?

Nadakhan: Yes, I cannot wish for myself, but I can always get what I want. Wu already told me where the Realm Crystal is, but I will still need your help.

Misako: Even if you were to find it in Hiroshi's Labyrinth, you'd never find your way out.

Nadakhan: So it's hidden in Hiroshi's Labyrinth, you say?

Misako: Wu didn't tell you. You tricked me. I wish I hadn't said anything in the first place.

Nadakhan: Another wish? I thought you'd never ask.

Misako: No!

The Commissioner and detectives went back to check on her.

Tommy: She's gone.

Commissioner: Well, I can see that. I'm not blind.

His eye twitched.

Simon: But your eye is twitching.

The Commissioner growled at him. Tommy checks Kai's Chirp account.

Tommy: We may have just gotten a hit on one of the ninja. Kai just updated his status.

Commissioner: Hm. Really?

The police force started to look for them, with the trio on a chopper.

Commissioner: Where did he say she was?

Simon: We've tracked him heading north on Wilfert Boulevard. Oh, wait, now east on Flemming.

News Reporter: The ninja haven't been seen in days but that hasn't stopped one from updating her status. @K.S13 posted: "A place of peace, a place to fight, a brotherhood born on one fateful night." What does it mean?

Nya, who was disguised, watched the report, then crossed the street.

News reporter: Is it a message? Is it a riddle? Or just a bad poem?

The police was tracking Kai's signal.

Simon: And now he's heading down Donovan Boulevard. He's taking a back alley.

Commissioner: I want him boxed in. Land this thing.

The cars surrounded an alley.

Cop: Come out with your hands up.

A rat came out with a tracker device.

Simon: It's not Kai, sir. It's his communication device. He gave it to the rat so we'd go on a wild goose chase. Ah. I mean, wild rat chase. Heh.

Commissioner: Yes, thank you, detective.

His eye started twitching.

Simon: But your eye is twitching.

Commissioner: I'm not blind!

The ninja used their Elemental Dragons to travel to the Mountains of Impossible Height. Where the Monastery was still standing. As burned as it was when they left it.

Jay: Seriously? I was the last one to figure out it was Wu's old Monastery? And Lloyd wasn't even trained here.

Lloyd: It'll only be a matter of time before they find this place, too, so there isn't much time. Zane, show them what you found.

Zane: I came across security footage of Sensei and Pyther at the Library of Domu. He was not alone.

He showed them the footage.

Cole: Hey, look. It's Wu Pyther.

They then saw Wu and Pyther looking at someone.

Kai: What happened? Who were they looking at?

Cole: We don't know, but no one's seen them since. It worries me.

Kai hugged him as they both were worried about their son.

Zane: The library database indicated that they had checked out a book about the Teapot of Tyrahn. We originally thought we may be dealing with Clouse. If this is what I think it is, it appears to be far worse. We may have a Djinn on our hands.

Jay: A Djinn?

Nya: Like a genie, only when he grants you wishes, you'll be wishing you never met him.

Lloyd: What else do we know about Djinn? Kai?

Kai: Hmm. Not much, just that they are very sneaky and have great power...

Zane saw Jay smile.

Zane: I do believe smiling is not the proper reaction when one is warned about a Djinn.

Jay: But Nya said they grant wishes. And with wishes, anything is possible, right?

Zane: Hmm. My logic parameters do not allow me to understand the full extent of a wish. But I am curious where you're going with this.

Jay: My and Nya's break have made me worried that we're not together in the future. But I know for a fact from seeing my future that we do. Maybe a wish is what it takes. Maybe this is how she keeps me.

Lloyd: Then it's settled. Since we know so little about Djinns, we need to head back to town to investigate more about him.

Cole: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. If we head back together, the police will arrest us on sight. We should split up.

Kai: But anyone caught alone with this character suddenly disappears.

Lloyd: Then we travel in pairs. Zane, you and I will head to the library to see what else we can find.

Jay: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

He stood behind Nya.

Cole: Yeah, yeah. And Jay and I will look for clues at the scene of the crime where he framed us. What do you say, buddy, just like old times?

Jay: Ah, sweet. Who doesn't love old times? Eh?

Lloyd: Kai, you and your sister see what else is out there. If we wanna clear our names and get Sensei and Pyther back, we need to find this Djinn and take him down. Let's meet back here at sunup. Oh, and guys, look out for each other.

They parted ways.

With Lloyd and Zane.

Some visitors left the Domu Library.

Guard: You have a nice evening. I hope you found all you needed.

Woman: Oh, I did.

He walked off and Lloyd looked out from behind a book case.

Lloyd: Road clear. The book they were reading is still here. That camera took the footage of Sensei.

Zane: We don't want to be spotted. Hacking into the library's central computers now.

He disabled the camera and they walked up to the book.

Zane: The Teapot of Tyrahn. The ancient markings on the side describe it's a powerful relic that can trap mortals.

Lloyd: Oh. That may explain why people are suddenly disappearing.

Zane: And here's something more. Once a Djinn is freed from imprisonment, the only way to destroy him is by—

Pixal: Warning. An unknown presence is hacking into our system.

Zane: Can you isolate the source?

Pixal: It's coming from inside the building.

Ronin replaced Pixal.

Ronin: Look at that, Tin Can. I'm in your head. Sorry, didn't wanna to have to come to this, but a job's a job, right, buddy?

Lloyd: What's wrong? Why did you stop reading?

Ronin: I know it's unfair, but I disabled your voice box. And now I'm shutting down your defenses and—Oops. There go your arms.

Zane's bended over.

Lloyd: Zane?

Ronin: If it's any consolation, I didn't wanna have to fight you. And now technically, I don't. Good night, good buddy.

Zane shut down and Ronin turned the cameras back on. He communicated with Lloyd using the intercom.

Lloyd: Are you there?

Ronin: I took the liberty to close off the wing, Lloyd. Been meaning to say, love the TV spot. What was it you guys said? "Reading is the first step to every adventure?"

Lloyd: Sorry, Zane, but I've gotta get out of here.

Ronin closed the window with metal bars.

Ronin: Yeah, they installed those to keep the bad guys out. Or was it the good guys in? I don't remember for the life of me. Which are you, Lloyd? A good guy or bad guy?

Lloyd: We were framed. You know us, Ronin. We would never do any of that stuff.

Ronin: You also know me, and I'm getting paid an awful lot to bring you guys in.

He approached Lloyd.

Ronin: How's Nya? Boy, I missed her.

They attacked each other. Lloyd hid behind a book case.

Ronin: Let's make this easy. I'll take you back to the station, you can answer their questions and clear your name.

Lloyd: Not until we stop the threat. And you're gonna pay for what you did to Zane. But not today.

Ronin trapped him before he could leave.

Ronin: Looks like I didn't miss you, Lloyd. Two down, four to go.

With Kai and Nya.

They went to a village.

Kai: We better hurry if we wanna free our names.

Nya: Then it's good they didn't take our special vehicles.

She opened a secret storage and they jumped on their bikes. Then Nya saw Zane's beacon.

Nya: It's Zane's SOS beacon. There's trouble.

Kai: What are we waiting for? Lead the way.

They drove away.

Meanwhile

Nadakhan teleported to the labyrinth.

Nadakhan: Hmm. The Realm Crystal. It is here.

He accidentally set off an alarm.

Nindroid #1: Intruder, freeze. You are surrounded.

Nadakhan: Hmm. Strange metal men. Uh, you do have me surrounded. But I am a captain. And captains don't take orders from anyone.

He took out several daggers.

Nindroid #1: He has a weapon. Fire!

Nadakhan defeated them by deflecting the blasts back at the Nindroids.

Nadakhan: The future.

He set off another alarm, and more Nindroids arrived.

Nindroid #2: Intruder, freeze.

Nadakhan escaped in an elevator.

Nadakhan: Well, that was easy.

The elevator started to flood.

Nadakhan: Now it's starting to get interesting.

He teleported out and saw the crystal.

Nadakhan: Ah. The Realm Crystal.

He successfully made it into the room.

Nadakhan: It is mine.

He tried to grab it, but it was a hologram.

Nadakhan: Huh? What? Where is the real one!?

He broke the pedestal. Cyrus appered on the computer.

Cyrus: Repair in Sector 5. Repair in Sector 5.

Nadakhan: You again. Well, maybe you can help me.

Nya and Kai continued to ride their bikes.

Nya: Zane should be just up ahead. But what are they doing out here? I thought they were at the library.

They continued into the Corridor of Elders. Kai saw someone at the other end.

Kai: There he is. But where's Lloyd?

Nya then gasped.

Nya: That's not Zane.

Kai: It's Ronin.

Nya: Go around him.

They did so and drove off. Ronin jumped on R.E.X..

Ronin: Go get them, R.E.X..

Kai: We need to split up.

Nya: We can't. He bottled us up in here for a reason. We have to outrun him.

Kai: Well, let's see if he can keep up with this.

He fired at the cliff but Ronin dogged the debris.

Ronin: Nice move. Right back at you.

He did the same, but they dogged the debris as well. Nya fired at him.

Ronin: Whoa, whoa, whoa! That's just rude.

Kai: This way. He won't be able to follow us!

He and Nya drove into an especially narrow passageway.

Nya: We can't shake him.

Ronin: Never liked taking the high road.

He glided down.

Nya: I can't believe this guy.

Kai: Nya, look out!

They reached a dead end.

Ronin: Off the bikes and hands up. And don't try any of that Elemental stuff, or else R.E.X. won't play nice.

He cuffed the duo.

Kai: We were framed. And then—

Ronin: Save it. Already heard it. All right, R.E.X., show's over.

The "dead end" was revealed to be a hologram.

Nya: You tricked us.

Ronin: Four down, two to go.

The Nindroids entered the sector.

"Cyrus": The Realm Crystal has been compromised. Hurry. Send all sentries to protect it.

Nindroid General: Affirmative, Borg. Protect the Realm Crystal.

When they left, it was revealed that Nadakhan had transformed into Borg and tricked them. They went into the room containing the Realm Crystal.

Nindroid General: The Realm Crystal. But Borg said it was compromised.

Nadakhan: It is now.

He successfully made it out.

Nadakhan: Brainless tin cans.

With Jay and Cole.

They went to the Mega Monster Amusement Park.

Cole: Looks like Mega Monster Amusement Park shut down after it became a crime scene. Come on. Let's go check out the roller coaster. That's where Zane was framed.

Jay: Ah, this place gives me so many fond memories. It's here I found my True Potential. Oh, and over there is where Nya and I went on our first date. I bet one day she and I will laugh about all this.

Cole looked at him.

Jay: Uh, I mean. Where is that roller coaster?

Cole: The only thing this place gives me is the creeps. Let's not stick around any longer than we need to. There it is. Just what kind of clues are we looking for? It's not like there are any witnesses around to tell us what they saw.

Jay: I wouldn't be so sure about that.

He turned on some monitors with his powers.

Cole: Haha, it's practically a visual timeline of the events that day. Jay, you're a genius.

Jay: Like I said, it's where I found my True Potential.

They looked at two pictures. One with Nadakhan and one with Zane.

Cole: There. That's our guy.

Jay: These pictures were taken seconds after each other.

Cole: That means that guy is Zane.

Jay: You mean—

Cole: The Djinn can shape-shift. He could be anybody!

Jay passed his hand through Cole.

Cole: Seriously?

The music and roller coaster turned on.

Cole: What did you do now?

Jay: I didn't touch anything.

Ronin: Guess we can add trespassing to your charges. Don't bother calling your friends, I already caught them.

Cole turned invisible.

Jay: Really? You're disappearing? You're leaving me alone?

Cole: If he already has the others, we both can't get caught. I'm sorry, but you're on your own. Good luck.

Jay: A ninja never leaves a ninja behind. Some friend you are. And you. Ha! You think you can electrify the Master of Lightning?

Ronin: Yeah. But are you the Master of Kablooey?

Jay jumped onto a set of roller coaster trains. Ronin followed.

Jay: It wasn't us, Ronin. We just saw that a Djinn can look like any one of us. That's how he did it. That's how he framed us.

Ronin: Tell it to the judge.

Jay: If you take us all out, who's gonna protect Ninjago?

Ronin: Not my problem.

Jay jumped onto another set of trains. Ronin turned the attraction off.

Jay: Oh! Not good. Aah!

He fell into a bag.

Ronin: Five down, one to go. Come out, come out, wherever you are! Funnel cake.

He followed the crumbs.

Ronin: I know you're in here. The funnel cake did you in. You always were a nervous eater.

He arrived at a prize booth full of ninja teddy bears.

Cole: Maybe. But how do you catch what you can't see? Oh. Where am I? Good luck finding a ghost.

Ronin turned on thermal vision. He noticed how one of the Cole teddy bears had heat compared to the others.

Ronin: I got thermal vision, Cole.

Cole: You do?

Ronin shot deepstone and vengestone bracelets onto the teddy bear Cole was possessing. He then kicked him to the ground. Knocking him out.

Cole: Aah!

(Teddy Bear Cole)

Ronin grinned and picked him up.

Ronin: Look at that. I'm a winner. And with those bracelets, you can't use your powers or get out of that teddy.

He turned the ninja in the next morning.

Commissioner: The search is over. We have the ninja. Ninjago is safe once again. Now, let this be a lesson to everyone. No matter who you are or how famous you become, justice will find you. We have a place for criminals. It's called Kryptarium.

Nadakhan looked down at them smiling.

Nadakhan: One crew down. And now to get mine back.
