(The NGTV helicopter flies to Djinjago.)

Gayle: Ninjago News Air Traffic control, Gayle Gossip with breaking news. For weeks, everyone has been stumped as to why prime real estate of Ninjago has simply vanished into thin air. Well, consider the mystery solved. They are in thin air. Directly above us are the missing remains. I'm staring at it right now, folks. Literally, chunks of Ninjago reassembled into what looks like...Hold on, I think I see someone flying towards us. Maybe they can provide more clarity. (Instead, they were attacked.) More breaking news. Literally, my news chopper is breaking apart. The people of this floating island do not provide more clarity. They provide more cannon fire! Dangerous cannon fire! This is Gayle Gossip signing off, hoping I can still land this thing.

(On Misfortune's Keep, Jay and Coral are swabbing the deck.)

Nadakhan: Looks like you missed a spot. (He spills Jay's and Coral's bucket of water.)

Coral: (Sarcastically.) Haha, very funny.

Jay: (Sighs.) I'm not gonna say it.

Nadakhan: Say what? That you can wish it all away? Well, you can. You've already made your first two wishes, you have one left. (To Coral.) And as for you, you still have three wishes.

Jay: Our friends will come for us.

Nadakhan: I hope so. The more of you my Djinn Blade collects, the stronger I become. Creating a world from scratch takes a lot of hard work. Djinjago would get done a lot sooner if everyone pitches in, if you know what I mean. (He throws the sword at Jay's direction. The souls within scream for help.) Care to say hello to your friends? Wish it. Wish it all away and join them. Wish it and you'll never have to pick up another scrub brush again.

Coral: I'd rather do back breaking labor.

Jay: If I didn't have this Vengestone ball and chain, I'd zap you clean off this ship.

Nadakhan: Hmm. I can see why she once liked you. You're stronger than you appear. But I know it's all an act. Deep down, you're scared. You know you're weak. You make jokes to mask that you're afraid. That's why you didn't do anything when she fell for your friend, why you can't do anything when she falls for me. Believe me, aboard my ship, you will break. I will make sure of it. And when that time comes, I will be there, so you can wish it away.

Coral: (Warns.) Don't talk to Jay that way. I'm warning you now.

Jay: Still not gonna say it.

Nadakhan: When he's done swabbing the deck, make sure he swabs the entire hull.

Flintlocke: The bottom of the ship, Captain? (Jay cleans the hull and almost falls.)

Nadakhan: You're not afraid, are you, funny man?

Jay: Ha! I love it!

Coral: Careful Jay! (Sees Nadakhan staring at her.) What do you want?

Nadakhan: I know you've been a little blue since your mother got sucked into my sword. It reminds you of your father who died in the crystal caves.

Coral: (Gasps.) How do you know about that?!

Nadakhan: I have my ways. My father died too in my home realm, and his final words were, "avenge our people." I know you are still struggling to accept your father's last words. But they don't have to be his last words. Wish for him to be alive and well, and you won't suffer like I have.

(Lloyd comes back after flying over the Endless Sea.)

Izzy: You okay? Did you see any land?
