The volcano echoed with clangs of metal against metal, running machinery, and shouts of soldiers rang through each floor of the volcano.

A speaker broadcast several voices at the same time.

"Volcano base, this is Alpha Squad, arriving shortly at LB."

"Bakery team, the victory cake goes back in the fridge. The victory cake goes back in the fridge."

"There is a magma spill on Deck Three. Avoid Deck Three if you're sensitive to magma."

A soldier shuddered.

"I just passed Garmadon in the hallway. He seems pretty angry."

Another soldier bit on their nails nervously.

"He's requesting a mandatory staff meeting by the fireplace."

The soldier raised his eyebrows.

"Uhhhhh....is that the room with the lava or the room where people get fired?"

The other soldier thought for a moment, before answering,

"It's...well...both."

The soldier's eyes widen.

Later...

By the fireplace, Garmadon pours tea from his kettle into his cup and raises it to his mouth, sipping on his tea.

His seafood soldiers sit opposite him, heads bowed in fright and respect.

Garmadon sighed,

"Well, Generals, congratulations. We've finally conquered Ninjago."

General number one said,

"I'm not... certain we did that?"

Garmadon slammed his cup down on the table next to him, yelling,

"I WAS BEING SARCASTIC!!! EVERY TIME I TRY TO CONQUER NINJAGO, THAT MEDDLING GREEN NINJA ALWAYS STOPS ME!!!!"

The seafood soldiers recoiled in fear.

"Who are these secret ninjas? Every time I come up with a new plan, they still beat me. And they don't even have cool suits!"

Garmadon walked among his soldiers, glaring at each of them.

"And you guys have like crab outfits and shark outfits!"

Garmadon tapped his chin.

"I mean, maybe we're spending too much on outfits."

General number one said nervously,

"That... sounds right to me, sir...?"
Garmadon scoffed.

"Oh, come on. Hey, look, you guys gotta think for yourselves. I'm not your father! Alright???"

Another general whispered,

"Is it just me, or is that a weird thing for him to say to us?"

Garmadon shouted,

"General number one! Do you want to be a follower, or do you want to be a leader?"

General number one looked up nervously,

"Uh... leader?"

Garmadon raised his eyebrows.

"How dare you??!"

Garmadon slams his hand on a button, and the General is shot out of the volcano, somehow.

"I MEAN FOLLOWWERRRR!!!!!"

Garmadon growled and pointed at another general,

"You! What's your title??"

General number two said,

"Uh- I'm General number two, sir."

Garmadon said while adjusting his jacket,

"Well, now you're General number one."

"Uhm....oh."

"And you, what's your title?"

General number three said,

"General... three?"

"Well, now your General number two. You see where I'm going with this??"

General number three replied,

"Uhhhhhhhh......no??"

Garmadon sighed in frustration.

"Now. I told the Green Ninja I was coming back with something big, something, wicked, something with some pizzazz."

He pointed at General number 1.

"General number one! Go ahead. Give me some ideas."

They stuttered,

"W-well, sir, I was thinking m-maybe we could work on the morale of the troops? They're always scared of being-"

Garmadon slams his hand down on his button.

"-FIREEEEEEEED!!!!!"

"We could... do the same thing we did last time?"

She gets fired.

"What if we dressed up as the secret ninjas?"

"It's time we develop a code language!"

"Intimidation. We paint angry eyebrows on the troop's faces!"

"What if you just ran for Mayor?"

Garmadon growls in frustration and anger, before slamming his hand down on the button four times, causing the other generals who just talked to get fired out of the Volcano.

Garmadon yells,

"Oh, come on. How hard is it to come up with a genius idea? Anyone? Come on, jump off. This is a safe place. Go ahead. Just grab it."

A group of scientists inches along the walls and finally one reaches Garmadon.

"Excuse me-"

Garmadon shouts,

"NERD! You're interrupting."

The scientist flinches.
"S-sorry, sir. We j-just cooked this up in engineering."

Garmadon looks at the tablet, before snatching it.

"GIMME!"

He looks closer, a grin appearing on his face.

"Garma-daddy likey!!"
