(The ninja reached the dark island, but are on the lookout for the stone army. Wu gasps.)

Kai: This whole island is swarming with Garmadon's indestructible Stone Army.

Jay: Ha! Good thing we're ninja and we know how to hide.

Cole: Who wants to hide when you can fight? I'm getting tired of having our heads buried in the sand. I wanna fight these guys. 

Zane: But Cole, they have no apparent weakness. It would be unwise to start a fight we cannot finish.

Wu: That is why we must find the temple of light.

Crystal: Zane's right we just have to be patient. (Looks at Cole who isn't listening) Right Cole.

Cole: Huh? Oh uh yea right.

(They go in the destiny Bounty, where Misako explains the scrolls.)

Misako: The scrolls say there is a hidden temple on the island. If you find it, it will give the ninja pure elemental powers, powers that can destroy the indestructible army.

Cole: So you're saying we get to fight? Whoo-hoo! I've got happy feet!

Misako: And you, my son, here it is written: "For once the green ninja finds the instrument of peace, the light ninja will strike it and the green ninja will know the power of the Ultimate Spinjitsu Master."

Lloyd: Ultimate Spinjitzu Master?

Crystal: It means you'll be able to invoke the power of the golden dragon, an ancient fighting style only practiced by the first spinjitsu master.

Lloyd: (The other ninja look at him, surprised.) Hahaha. Jealous?

Kai: Uh, wait a minute. This all sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?

Wu: The catch is, the Temple could be anywhere on the island, and all we have is this.

Julien: A medallion. It's like a compass. When the three holes match up, the medallion will reveal where the temple is hidden.

Jay: Uh, how'd you know that?

Julien: Oh, I did a lot of reading in my spare time. (Chuckles.) Adventure stories were my favorite.

Zane: (Taking the medallion and gives it to Crystal) Then what are we waiting for? (The ninja get up.)

Wu: (Stopping Lloyd) Not you, Lloyd.

Lloyd: Ah, seriously? Are we still doing this?

Misako: Wu is right. If you were to come across your father, it could prematurely start the Final Battle. We need to be at full strength before we take any risks.

Jay: Hahaha. Jealous?

Crystal: Jay.

Jay: What? You gotta admit he should have saw that coming.

Julien: Well, I could use some help around the shop. We should get working on vehicles that might help give us a fighting chance.

Wu: Remember, Garmadon doesn't know we're on the island. It's imperative that you stay out of sight.

Jay: Of course, Sensei. Don't worry. Have you ever known us to veer from a plan, huh? (Lloyd, Wu, and Misako looks at them, not amused.)

Crystal: Yes, yes you have.
