On top of a building, Blunck and Raggmunk witnessed as all the metal is delivered to their headquarters, with the latter calling it "Operation Heavy Metal." Dareth found Ronin in his shop and informed him of his dilemma. The latter questions why anyone would do that seeing they were fake. However, Dareth misunderstood, saying that they were irreplaceable and that he wanted to get replacements. While Ronin went to get a trophy, he caught some Vermillion trying to take away the metal. Pointing to the "no shoplifting" sign, he knocked them out. Dareth looked out a window and saw more Vermillion soldiers, who were holding his trophies. He tried to take the trophies from them but had to be rescued by Ronin's mech.

At the temple, Lloyd was explaining a plan but was constantly interrupted by Jay slurping his drink. Jay told Cole and Kai that he was bored and was messing with Lloyd, but realized that Lloyd had to start over. Ronin and Dareth came in and explained that the city is under attack, much to the ninja's (except Lloyd) excitement. As the ninja head out, Lloyd stops them because he thinks that the Vermillion stealing metal might just be a distraction so that the ninja leave the temple and the Vermillion can come to finish off Wu. They countered his argument by saying that if they don't do anything, the snakes would continue to damage the city. Seeing that he wouldn't be able to convince them to stay, he also allowed Ronin and Dareth to go. He called Nya, hoping that she will be on his side, but the signal was down.

The ninja are woken early in the morning by Sensei Wu clanging a gong. To their dismay, the old master wants them up and working at the crack of dawn, in order to clean up their new home, the Destiny's Bounty. Although the ninja are reluctant at first, they soon realize that they can use their Spinjitzu to speed up the process. By the time Master Wu and Nya return to the ship, it is much cleaner.
Larvaluss

"*The marvelous Larvaluss is far-flung from any large body of water... unless you count the sea of stars twinkling above in the sky of the pocket dimension! Still, it feels right at home on the Sanctum, where it revels in the company of its fellow Magical Monsters and uses its music to whisk them off to slumberland. What appear to be strings are actually nostril hairs extending from the nose of Larvaluss, which is hidden somewhere in the mess of 'furthers' on the back of its head. Tuning can be a bit of an issue when the Monster's sinuses act up."*

The Earth Ninja continues, saying that the Fangblade was made into the Blade Cup by a fellow named Clutch Powers. Zane asks who is currently in possession of the trophy, Cole sorrowfully admitting that he has not spoken to his father in years.

Zane goes out and tries to search them, due to being a Nindroid and therefore not needing oxygen. He, however, slips while hiding from General Cryptor and floats away from the ship, but uses his Ice powers to get back. He finds the suits and gives them to the other ninja just as the rocket disengages its un-needed engines. However, when they climb toward the door leading to the cockpit they are attacked by Nindroids, who fire on them with laser guns. Following Jay's initiative of fighting back, and learning that their Spinjitzu does not work in zero-gravity, the others take some laser guns as well, so that they successfully repel the attack. Soon the Arcturus enters the comet (Delta V) through its tail and is battered by massive ice meteorites. In New Ninjago City, the Overborg, Pythor, and multiple Nindroids bring the Overlord's capsule inside the Borg Tower.
Rare Deedge

*"Rare Deedges are so handy! They've got a knack for invention, and relish every opportunity to take something apart and put back together again in a completely different way. Miraculously, the objects they recraft still work, even after reassembly! Such is the case with their state-of-the-art gilded amp sets, which blast out beats just as well as common* Deedges' *regular ice(boom)boxes. Just goes to show that there's more than one way to* skin a Stritch."

Epic Rootitoot

"After learning that certain starchy tubers could electrochemically power a light bulb, the knowledge 'galvanized' a sharp-toothed and sprout-footed variety of Rootitoot into coming up with a way to utilize all the extra energy within. After the Fire Monster balanced all the positives and negatives, it constructed some bionic appendages worthy of the Epic designation. Now it can better serve all the other Monsters at its next soirée; let them eat Cake, as they say… Come again? You want another Big Salad or two?! Well, at least the Monster has the arm room now."

## Synopsys

In the prison, Nya and Jay are thinking of what to use the last wish, yet they keep running into the same restrictions on wish-making. Jay starts talking of how he got all of them in this mess because of his feelings for Nya, but she interrupts him, having seen the spy from earlier. Following him to the tower's basement, the Robo-Butler finds a secret door to reveal the stranger. To their absolute shock, it's Zane, but a more rustic primitive version of him. Calling him Echo Zane, as he must have been a replacement Zane when Dr. Julien was in the tower, Jay and Nya joyfully reconsider their plan alongside their newest ally. In Misfortune's Keep, the Sky Pirates are looking for Nya, but keep coming up empty. Nadakhan approaches Clancee to have him make his second wish, to find the ninja. He then sees them through a window, but Echo Zane, on Jay's command, breaks the mirror before he could see where they are. He was too late, though; the Djinn noticed red kelp by the tower's windows he was all-too-familiar with and deduces their location in the western seaside of Ninjago.

Meanwhile, Jay considers using the tea because of the possibility that they were found, but Nya points out they cannot keep running all the time. She even brings up his revealed future to prove that they will win against Nadakhan, as they are still together and alive, which gives Jay some hope. He then declares that if they are to make a stand, it would be at the tower itself, and so they and Echo Zane, whom they teach how to fight, set up defenses all around the keep.ding Jay's advice. His claim only lands him demoted to Clancee's position while the Serpentine gets his as first-mate.
Rare PomPom

*"There's no greater living proof of "you are what you eat" than the Rare PomPom. Although sometimes confused for a separate monster entirely, like the Hoola, this Rare is actually just a common PomPom on a diet consisting entirely of indigo foods! The change isn't just reflected in its appearance, though - Rare PomPoms develop a heightened fashion sense, and coif their plumes in radical styles - with some blue highlights for good measure."*

Rare Xyster

"Lacking the elongate antlers of the Common Xyster, this Rare Magical nevertheless has adapted itself to collect the thoughts of nearby beings. That said, it sets its sights on a much bigger target than mere monsters - it can listen in on the ruminations of the Enchantler itself! The Rare Xyster is able to accomplish this via various villi covering its body that maximize surface contact as it tunnels through the pores of the Titan."
