Background[]
The Lighthouse Prison first appears in The Last Voyage, where the Destiny's Bounty reaches it on its way to Dark Island. Finding the lighthouse, the Ninja, Nya, Misako, and Sensei Wu knock on the door. To their astonishment, they are greeted by Dr. Julien, Zane's father whom he last remembered seeing on his death bed. As Dr. Julien explains, Samukai revived him using an elixir, but then imprisoned him at the lighthouse when he refused to provide weapons and vehicles for the Skulkin.
In order to prevent Julien's escape, Samukai also chained a Leviathan in the waters near the island, and the Ninja are forced to hide their presence from it. With Dr. Julien's help, the group is able to get the Bounty airborne again, though the Leviathan attempts to prevent their escape. However, Zane is able to secure their release by freeing the Levithan, collecting Starteeth to eat through its chains. With both prisoners freed, the Bounty makes its way towards Dark Island.
Later, during The Last Resort, Nya and Jay use the Lighthouse Prison as a safehouse to hide from Nadakhan, and discover Tai-D and Echo Zane haunting it. After Nadakhan forces Clancee to make a wish enabling him to discover their location, the two Ninja and the pair of robots work to fortify the lighthouse. Nadakhan's Sky Pirates soon arrive for a massive assault, and despite the defenders' best efforts it is overrun. Nya thus uses the last of their Traveler's Tea to open a portal so Jay can escape. In Operation Land Ho!, Jay returns to the island in order to collect Echo Zane to join his motley team of allies.
In "Farewell the Sea", Jay is revealed to have taken up residence at the lighthouse in the year since Nya merged with the sea, apparently feeling a closeness to her there. Cole, Kai, and Zane approach him to rejoin the team, but he initially refuses, feeling that everyone has forgotten Nya. A fleet of memorial lanterns demonstrates that this is not, in fact, the case, and after Lloyd arrives as well the Ninja decided to reunite in memory of Nya. In "The Call of Home", Nya travels to the lighthouse after her memories are jogged, but finds the lighthouse empty and is forced to return to the sea as her form begins to break down.
