Babysitting the hard way![]
After the Destiny's Bounty crashes in the Primeval's Eye due to the attack of the Samurai X Mech, the Ninja try to make their ship airworthy again. Zane runs a damage analysis and concludes they need wood to repair it. Kai wants to get to finding wood immediately, but Cole reminds them that one of the five should stay with the Bounty to watch over Baby Wu. After Nya immediately refuses and the others can't come to an agreement, Nya decides to look for the needed wood alone.
The remaining ninja now have to take care of Baby Wu. First, Cole tries to lull him to sleep with a badly sung lullaby, but Wu just starts crying. To calm him down, Kai tries to warm up a bottle of tea for him, but it explodes in a cloud of steam because he made it too hot. The explosion also damaged Zane's chassis, giving Baby Wu a chance to play with his wires. After little Wu has a little too much fun with Zanes delicate insides, Jay finally tries to get Baby Wu to go to sleep with a bedtime story.
He tells a story about a brave ninja named Nya who crashed into a spooky jungle and now has to face many dangers. She gets attacked by some evil roller-skate villains, but Nya has learned an important lesson from her master's teachings: "Always wear skates!". Here Jay's story is interrupted by the real Nya, who is recounting her actual adventure in the jungle.
While looking for the right wood, Nya met three bikers who were looking for the ninja. However, just as she was about to duel them, the four were surprised by a horrific creature. The jungle seems to have a bad influence on all of its inhabitants. Before Nya can finish her story about the monster, however, they hear the gang members' engines. Just as a fight between the Ninja and the approaching bikers threatens to break out, they are surprised by the monster of the jungle: a giant cricket. However, it quickly turns out that the cricket is mainly attracted to the hum of the motorcycles and Nya comes up with a plan to have the two enemies eliminate each other. They manage to lead the giant crickets and the bikers into a collision, knocking them both out.
Afterwards, they use the material from the motorcycles to repair the Bounty. Baby Wu also finally managed to fall asleep despite all the noise because the cricket chirping had a calming effect on him and put him to sleep.

Trivia[]
- In the comic, the ninja know that the child is baby Wu long before they were attacked by the Sons of Garmadon, despite the fact that in the show, they realised it seconds before this. As such, the comic is considered non-canon.
