Plot

In the Merlopian Palace, Glutinous comes to tell Kalmaar that he may have found the location of the Storm Amulet and Kalmaar tells Gripe to gather troops to track down the Amulet.
Meanwhile, on the Hydro Bounty, Maya, Nya, Jay, Lloyd, Zane and Benthomaar talk about Kalmaar’s plan and how they must get to the Island of the Keepers before Kalmaar. They eventually make it to the storm belt, to avoid being damaged, P.I.X.A.L. moves the sub underwater. The sub gets little damage while is Jay tossed around the ship.
They make it to the Island of the Keepers, and Nya tells Benthomaar to stay onboard to avoid problems with the Keepers. Jay pops out of the hatch to see the Keepers surrounding it, ready to attack. They see Jay and take the rest to Mammatus.
They tell Mammatus of Kalmaar and he tells the other Keepers to prepare for attack. Nya tells the Keepers that the plan isn’t a good one and asks Mammatus if she can have the Storm Amulet. While Mammatus is hesitant, he trusts her and gives her the amulet, only for Zane to find out it is a fake. Nya already know who stole it and tells the others to run to the Hydro Bounty. They alert P.I.X.A.L. and tell her to contact the Monastery of Spinjitzu. Cole responds and Nya tells him of the situation and tells him to get to the Explorer's Club.
Kalmaar bursts through the door and mocks Benthomaar for joining the ninja. Benthomaar tells Kalmaar that the Ninja are his friends and to leave them alone and Kalmaar tells him that he’ll do as he wishes.
Nya tries to fool Kalmaar with the fake Amulet. But Kalmaar catches on to them and destroys the controls of the Hydro Bounty telling the Ninja that all that will happen will be their fault and leaves. Nya gives chase and jumps in the sea to stop him. But loses breathe quickly and hops back on to the Hydro Bounty. Nya asks if they can fix the ship, but is responded with “no” and quickly starts blaming herself.

Trivia
Trivia[]
Reused footage from "Uncharted" in this episode
- Narrator: Mammatus
- Despite the title, the Storm Amulet ironically does not appear in this episode.
- The footage of the Island of the Keepers is exactly the same as the one from "Uncharted," only the ninja's catamarans are replaced by the Hydro Bounty.
Continuity[]
- Kalmaar's line, "Prepare my troops! We're going hunting," is identical to when Iron Baron said "Prepare the Dieselnaut! We're going hunting," from "How to Build a Dragon."
- This is the first appearance of the Keepers since "The Tooth of Wojira."
- It is revealed that Clutch Powers managed to steal the Storm Amulet, and replaced it with a replica.
- Jay's acting ability seems to have weakened since his performance in "Infamous," though this may have been simply for comedic effect.
- Glutinous' description of the Storm belt is very similar to how P.I.X.A.L. described the Storm belt in "Uncharted".
Errors[]
- Kai is listed in the ending credits, but never made an appearance in the episode.
- The official LEGO upload of the episode on YouTube mistakenly names it "The Storm of Amulet".
