Shore Chaos[]
Nya is fed up with Maya being around and telling her how to use her powers. She eventually storms out of the Monastery and heads towards the harbour alone. She wanders into the Ninjago City Aquarium to surround herself with her element. She remarks how balanced and peaceful the sea life is. This is disrupted quickly by a strange signal from the ocean. Every creature begins acting out and turning against the patrons. Nya is perplexed, as the aquarium is evacuated by the staff. As everyone is leaving the center, the other ninja arrive. After she asks, Lloyd tells Nya they wanted to give her some company and to make sure she wasn't in any trouble. Jay points out the real trouble behind them, as an army of perturbed sea creatures burst from the aquarium and begin attacking the fleeing patrons.
Kai suggests they try and separate the creatures and lead them to the ocean. They each struggle, but succeed, to get the animals back into the sea. Cole ends up in the ocean trying to help a starfish. As Jay helps him out, Nya points to the sky, yelling a warning. The others look and see a swarm of low-flying fish heading towards them. Jay loses patience and uses Spinjitzu to speed up the process and direct the flying fish back to the sea. He only ends up throwing all of the other creatures around the harbour and onto the other ninja. Kai decides to use his power to scare the sea life towards the ocean. It works in rounding them up, but they don't appear to hurry towards the sea.
Zane spots a nearby fishing boat and wonders if they can get them into the nets, they can return them to the sea the same way they were fished out. Lloyd says they need to create a waterway to the nets. This gets Nya ready to use her powers to create said bridge. Unfortunately, her powers are still on the fritz, and instead of leading the fish towards the boat, she sends them up into the air. Nya recoils in despair, but Zane comes up with an idea. He repurposes a pump on board the boat to suck the creatures off the harbour and into the nets. The ninja then set out to sea to return the fish to their natural habitat. Nya wonders out loud what it could be that is messing with her powers. Lloyd and Zane reassure her they'll get to the bottom of it, and what caused the ocean critters to lose control.
Deep below the sea, however, Kalmaar is complimenting Glutinous on the signals he was sending out. He requests the signal be cranked up, so they can control larger animals. The chief scientist obliges.
