Synopsis
Nya and her mother Maya attempt to escape from the evil Prince Kalmaar, who is scheming to overthrow his benevolent father King Trimaar.[1]
Extended: Nya and Maya are held captive by Kalmaar, who wants the location of the Storm Amulet - however, he is summoned by his father King Trimaar, who has learned that he may be responsible for sinking the Hydro Bounty. Nya and Maya manage to free themselves and escape but are pursued by deadly Ripper Sharks - meanwhile, Jay risks his life in an attempt to restore power to the Hydro Bounty.[2]
Plot
Nya wakes up in chains, and finds out that Maya is chained with her. They find themselves in the Temple of Wojira, to which Maya claims Wojira isn't real. Nya then tells her about the Storm Amulet they found on the Keepers' island, only to discover Kalmaar had been listening in on them the whole time. Kalmaar introduces himself, and asks for further information on the Storm Amulet. When Nya refuses, Kalmaar attempts to attack her but misses after Gripe startles him. Kalmaar is forced to leave to confront his father.
Back on the Hydro Bounty, the ninja attempt reaching out to Nya with no success. Jay wants to use his element to recharge the battery, but Zane tells him not to. P.I.X.A.L. suggests they reroute the remaining power to start the battery instead.
In the palace, Benthomaar greets his adoptive brother, much to Kalmaar's annoyance. When Trimaar asks if Kalmaar sunk another ship, Kalmaar denies this. Benthomaar assures his father that it wasn’t Kalmaar. The two brothers explain that the ships sink sometimes, much to Benthomaar's sadness. Kalmaar states that the ships are poorly built, and Trimaar lets him go. Kalmaar leaves in anger.
Nya and Maya escape the pole by climbing over it, and are attacked by multiple Merlopians. The two discard their chains and escape into their mechs.
Back on the Hydro Bounty, all power is lost, and the ship is taking on water. Jay goes down to recharge the battery, and prevents the rest of the team from stopping him. Jay's eyes glow white and the battery is recharged. They get back up to the controls of the ship, and allow Jay to be the captain from now on. Jay quietly tells Nya that they’re coming, and the Hydro Bounty sails off into the Endless Sea.
