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.

"Whyyyyyy" Aria whines

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

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 laughs

"Real funny Aria" Jay says 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 says quickly

"Chores?!" the ninja shouts

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

"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 "Aria you may go back to sleep"

"thank Lucifer" Aria covers herself with her blanket

"That's so unfair" Jay complains

"Well she is still a child Jay" Cole defends

"All children need their sleep" Zane adds

"Correct, now i will be back later, do not wake Aria up" Wu instructs before leaving

-

Aria walks down the stairs to see the ninja and Wu all gathered around.

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

"Ugh!" Jay shouts in frustration

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

Kai smirks "Aria you're never going to believe this Jay-"

"Nothing for a kid to worry about" Jay interrupts

"I'm not a kid" Aria puts her hands on her hips and sticks her tongue out at him.

-

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 says

"If you don't mind, I'm trying to focus" Jay says 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 rolls 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"

"When did this happen?" Aria questions

"while you were sleeping yesterday Jay's parents visited" Cole explains

"I missed that, it's the most embarrassing thing of Jay's life, why didn't anyone wake me up" Aria whines and the ninja laughed.

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

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

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

"Smooth Jay, real smooth" Aria comments walking in the room as the other ninjas gave Jay a look

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

-

Jay is 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 informs

"What does that mean?" Jay questions

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

"Will we see them again?" Jay asks

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

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 says

"I could use a break" Cole adds

"All you had to do was ask" Zane smiles

Aria jumped 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 asks

"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 explains

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

"Lloyd!" Wu shouts

"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 laughs stupidly

"We need the antivenom in the staff" Wu says

"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!"

Aria picked up a rock and threw it at Lloyd making him fall. Aria laughs and uses spinjitsu to knock down a couple snakes and even sent a couple of them flying out of the junkyard. Two snakes try to grab her but she ran around laughing until they eventually collide into each other.

"missed me" Aria mocked

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

As the snakes retreated they heard Aria shout. The ninja ran over to see a snake bite her before retreating. Aria put her hand over where he bit her as the ninja ran over.

"not Aria too" Jay says sadly

"you ok?" Kai bends down to her

"yeah" Aria replies and they all stare at her for a bit, she looks up at them "what?"

"nothing" they answer looking confused

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 shouts

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

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

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 asks

Wu looks at his flute "I wish"

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 smiles

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

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

The other ninja all curiously looked around Aria, like they were examining her.

"What?" Aria asks confused

"you were bit" Kai replies

"yeah and?" Aria asks

"your not ...a snake" Zane says confused

"Yeah I'm already a dr-" Aria stopped "I mean, I'm not?"

"You got bit, you should be a snake" Cole repeats

"How strange" Aria says looking at Wu

Wu clears his throat "Everyone, Aria has been immune to poisons since she was little, it's not strange that venom doesn't affect her either"

"A lot of assassination attempts" Aria mumbles

Cole sighs "Lloyd is getting a lot more annoying"

"Definitely caused a bigger problem this time" Kai agrees

"He's just a kid.." Aria says "Like me."
