The Ninja are sleeping when a ringing wakes them up.

" Evil doesn't sleep and neither should you!" Wu shouts as he bangs a cymbal

All Ninja groan.

"In order to reach your full potential, we must greet each day as an opportunity" Wu said

Kai gets up "Okay okay, we're up. But if you want us to reach full potential, shouldn't we at least get a full night of rest?"

Cole stretches his back "You call that a rest? I think my back had more lumps than the mattress"

"We were up so late, talking about how cool it is to have a new headquarters, I guess we lost track of time. Since the Serpentine burned down our monastery, I'm just glad we have a roof over our head" Jay says as he starts to brush his teeth and spits out some dirt that replaced his toothpaste. "ugh ew"

Aria laughed

"Real funny Aria" Jay said annoyed

Zane stood up "What is our lesson today, Sensei? Mastering the strike of the Scorpion? Or perhaps the grace of—"

"I think today's lesson would be chores" Wu said quickly

"Chores?!" the ninja shouted

"Ninja fight, Sensei. They do not clean" Cole argued

"In order to respect ourselves, we must respect our new home and where we are from. And this place is a long way from becoming a Ninja headquarters. I expect things to be spotless when I return. And put your backs into it" Wu bangs the cymbal again "let's go Aria"

"What why does she get to go!" Kai shouted

"Because I have business to take care of" Aria replied coming out of her closet

"What's with the fancy dress?" Jay asked

"Something a simpleton like you could never understand" Aria sad before grabbing her bag "see you later boys"

"I'll be back after dropping her off" Wu said before leaving with Aria

-

Aria's car pulled up to the Bounty as another car left. Aria got out of the car and walked up to everyone.

"Now that they have left, maybe Jay can teach us the art of kissing pillows" Wu snickers.

"Ugh!" Jay shouts in frustrtion

"What's this about Jay kissing pillows?" Aria questioned

Kai smiled "Aria you're back, you're never going to believe this Jay-"

"Nothing for a kid to worry about" Jay interrupted "you're only 10, come on get to bed

-

The next morning Jay is working on a button. Kai and Zane pass by.

"Sure got a lot of junk piling up. If only there was a place we could get rid of it..." Kai said

"If you don't mind, I'm trying to focus" Jay said annoyed

Cole then passes by pretending to be on the phone "Hi, mom and dad. Of course, I'd love to visit. What kind of son would I be if I didn't want to?"

Jay rolled his eyes "Heheheheh. I know what you're trying to do. Okay, look, I might have promised to visit my parents, but there's a lot of stuff on my plate"

Nya comes in "You gonna visit your parents, today?"

"Uh, sure am. Just about to leave" Jay replied

"Tell them I say hi" Nya said as she walked away

"Smooth Jay, real smooth" Aria commented walking through as the other ninjas gave Jay a look

"What? So my plate's not that full" Jay said

-

Jay is now outside getting Wisp, but he won't budge "Come on, Wisp. It'll be a quick visit. Just in and out, nothing more"

"Hm, it is as I suspected. The Dragons are molting. They're shedding their scales" Wu said

"What does that mean?" Jay questioned

"Every adolescent Dragon goes through a transformation before it becomes an adult. They migrate east to the Spirit Coves for their transformation" Aria explained

"Will we see them again?" Jay asked

"It is hard to say. But we need to allow them to follow their path" Wu replied

The other ninjas pet their dragons. Aria went over and hugged Flame "Flame... thank you for not dropping me... or eating me"

Jay walks over to Nya who's with Kai, Aria, and Flame "Well, I guess I gotta go on this long walk all by myself. Sure be nice to have company..."

"Of course we'll go, buddy" Kai said

"I could use a break" Cole added

"All you had to do was ask" Zane smiled

Aria jumeped on Jay's back "sounds fun"

Jay sighs in annoyance. Wu also tags along as the Dragons fly away. Wu plays the Sacred Flute while they walk. In the middle of walking Aria switched from Jay's back, to Cole's, to Zane's, and finally last to Kai's. Jay stops walking after approaching the Junkyard.

"What is it?" Nya asked

"It's quiet. My family's never quiet" Jay runs and hears Ed and Edna's mumbled grunts in a locked fridge. He kicks it open.

"What happened? Who did this?" Jay rips the tape off Edna's mouth then rips the tape off Ed's mouth.

They have developed small fangs and forked tongues.

"The bite of the Fangpyre! Once they sink their teeth, their venom can turn anything into a serpent. It's only a matter of time before the full transformation is complete" Wu explained

A Fangpyre-infected wrecking ball appears, along with a horde of Fangpyre and Lloyd.

"Lloyd!" Wu and Aria shouted

"Hello, uncle. Looks like we're not the only family reunion. I'm glad you brought the Ninja. I could use some help taking out the trash. Muahaha!" Lloyd evilly laughed stupidly

"Lloyd even your laugh is stupid" Aria said

"We need the antivenom in the staff" Wu said

"To the dirt!" Cole shouts and everyone plunges to the ground as the wrecking ball attacks.

The Ninja engage the snakes in battle, dodging the attacks of the wrecking ball in the process. With Nya covering him, Master Wu uses the Sacred Flute against several Fangpyre, only for Lloyd to counter with loud music from a Serpentine boombox.

"Young nephew, must I teach you whose side you should be on?" Wu questioned

Lloyd turns the volume up "Sorry, uncle. Can't hear you!"

"Lloyd Garmadon you're giving me a headache! Turn it off!" Aria shouted

The Ninja pursue a trio of Fangpyre around a pile of junk. Unfortunately, this allows the snakes to bite a large ninja statue and transform it into a giant battle robot. Unable to compete with such a large foe, Jay commandeers the Fangpyre's wrecking ball, using it to bring down the robot.

"Retreat!" Lloyd shouts, him and Fantom escape on a Rattlecopter.

"He's getting away with the staff!" Nya shouts

Jay sighs "Right now would be a good time to have those Dragons"

"There is still a way. Part of reaching your own full potential is understanding your weapon's potential. Once it is in tune with a focused heart, its secrets and powers can be unlocked." Wu said

"Oh, this is not the time to be cryptic!" Jay shouted

"He's saying our weapons are vehicles themselves" Zane explained

"Jay concentrate on unlocking your Golden Weapon. Let your heart guide you. Imagine you're taking flight" Wu said

Jay successfully turned his Nunchucks into the Storm Fighter. Kai turned his into the Blade Cycle, Zane's into the Snowmobile, and Cole's into the Tread Assault. Everyone chases after Lloyd with Jay cheering.

"Does your flute turn into anything?" Nya asked

Wu looks at his flute "I wish"

"This is no fair" Aria whined

"Aria be patient, I believe I did find something for you" Wu said

Aria looked at him "Really?"

-

The ninja return to the bounty with the staff, where Wu, Nya, and Aria were. As Nya creates tea from the staff's anti-venom and cures Ed and Edna with it, Jay desperately tries to activate the "defense system" he installed into the ship. As the Fangpyre close in, Ed takes a look at the controls and repairs it, allowing Jay to activate the ship's new flight modifications.

With a roar of engines, the Destiny's Bounty soars out of the desert, leaving Lloyd coughing on the dust stirred up by its flight. Unfortunately, Nya accidentally drops the Fangpyre Staff out of the back of the ship, allowing Fangtom to retrieve it after it knocks out one of his soldiers.

"We'll get you back to the Junkyard just as soon as we see the coast is clear. But stay as long as you'd like. It's nice having you here" Jay said

"Oh, take a note Edna of all our inventions, this one is our greatest!" Ed said happily

"I already know, dear" Edna tosses the notepad away. The trio embraces each other

Aria looked out the window "oh Lloyd when are you gonna learn"
