(The elemental masters and Garmadon ride on a blimp above the island.)

Jay: What are you looking at, Zippy?

Griffin: The next one out of the tournament.

Jay: Uh, heh.

Crystal: Hey. Just because he has a broken leg doesn't give you the right to bully him. Got it.

Griffin: Yes, Ms. I have an Anacondrai as a friend but I'm not the spy.

Crystal: (Sighs) No use in fighting it.

Kai: Why so scared to show us your back, Shadow? Worried we're gonna find a tattoo and know you're working for Chen?

Shade: I hope this next fight is between you and me, because I'm gonna put you on your back.

Mr. Pale: (Whistles.)

Skylor: Do you mind?

Garmadon: Tensions are high.

Crystal: You're telling me.

Lloyd: Yeah, not as high as we are now. Can hardly see the island from up here.

Neuro: I've had enough of this. I can't stand heights. Where's Chen? (He opens the door to the control room, but no one's piloting it.) Huh?

Chen: (On screen) How do I know if this thing's on? Oh, oh, oh, I see, the light. Oh, oh, I'm on? Right now? Ahem, ahem. Hello, final nine. I see you are all eager for the tournament to commence so one of you can win my staff of elements. Instead of fighting for a Jadeblade, today you will be fighting for something different. (He shows them a video of Nya.)

Kai and Crystal: Nya.

Skylor: You know her?

Kai: It's my sister.

Chen: We have an uninvited guest on the island.

Crystal: She must be holding the proof that will stop Chen.

Chen: Find her and you will automatically move on...

Kai: The spell he plans to use when he takes our powers.

Chen: ...to the final round!

Jay: He wants us all to hunt her down? She won't stand a chance.

Lloyd: Then we have to find her before anyone else does.

Chen: In ten seconds, the bottom will drop. (Everyone gasps.) But to show you I'm not a bad man, I've given you nine parachutes. (Everyone but Garmadon rushes to grab a parachute.) Sensei Garmadon is there? Shoot, that makes ten. Oh, well, I was never good at math. Heh. Toodle-oo.

Lloyd: That guy's love for trapdoors is seriously getting on my nerves! (Everyone falls off.)

Crystal: Lloyd, use your energy dragon!

Lloyd: (He tries to, but fails.) I can't! I can't get it to work! (Jay lands on top of Griffin's parachute.)

Crystal: You have to control your fear!

Griffin: Get your own chute, Lead Foot.

Jay: (He catches one.) I got one! I got one! Hahaha!

Garmadon: She's right. Your powers don't work because you aren't controlling your fear. Focus. (Mr. Pale steals Lloyd's parachute.) Control your fear. Don't let it control you. Center yourself.
