[Kai, Jay, and Nya run up to check on Lloyd, and Zane checks on P.I.X.A.L.]
P.I.X.A.L.! Are you okay?
[Zane lifts the cover and P.I.X.A.L. crawls out]
JayLloyd, are you okay?
So am I. Nobody has to worry about me.
[sees the other ninja sad] What? What is it? [notices Cole's missing] Where's Cole? [the other ninja look away] Where's Cole? [grabs Kai] Somebody say something! Where's Cole?!
Lloyd, he fell... into the cloud.
AAryan
What are you talking... (He realises now) (Shocked) NO! He's not...?
[about to cry] I... I'm so sorry.
[saddened] He's... He's really... gone?
It was my fault. I pulled the thrust lever the wrong way, and... [starts crying]
[Jay and Kai comfort her]
Jay
It wasn't your fault, it was an accident.
It could have happened to anyone.
[Lloyd looks down in sadness, but Garmadon interrupts their moment]
Yes, I do. We are wasting valuable time! [holds up the Golden Armor] All that matters now is this.
What about the Realm Crystal?
[sighs] It didn't work, but this will! They fear it.
Cole was our friend. He was more than a friend, he was family! But you don't understand that, do you? Oh, what's the point? You're never gonna get it! Because you don't care about anyone but yourself!
[angrily] Every moment you delay risks our survival!
[screaming angrily] There's more to life than SURVIVING!! AUGH!! [stomps off in anger]
How do you reason with that? [turns to Zane] You, Nindroid, if any of you are capable of logical thought, it is you. Tell them!
[upset and angry] I'm happy to say, you are mistaken. At this moment, even I am incapable of logical thought.
[He walks away, P.I.X.A.L. and the other ninja following. Garmadon stares in surprise]
[The mountain rumbles, and Nya, Lloyd, Master Wu, and the Oni turn to see the Earth Driller bursting out]
[jumps out] Hey, guys! Couldn't wait for me, huh?
Jay
Th-Th-Th— We thought we'd lost you—y-you, jerk!
You can't get rid of me that easily.
Jay
Zane! Wake up, Zane! Cole's about to beat your high score!
[wakes up, gasping, and shouts in surprise] Jay! [gasps for breath] I just had a terrible nightmare!
Jay
Oh, I'm afraid it's not a dream, Zane. It's real, Cole's about to beat your high score.
Not that. I had a nightmare, something terrible is going to happen. There was an evil serpent with a weapon, and it zapped me with it, and there was an ice castle, and a dragon, and a—
Jay
Shh, relax, Zane. It was just a dream.
Jay
Zane, when was the last time one of your visions actually came true?
All of my visions have come true.
Jay
Uh, like which?
Like the vision about the Titanium Dragon, and the vision before that about the Green Ninja, and the time before that about the—
Jay
Okay, okay, but this is different. Now seriously, Cole is about to beat your Lava Zombie score and I don't want to miss it, so come on!
[At nightfall, the ninja are sitting around a fire]
I see only one option: The digestive system of a beetle is very slow. There is a good chance the Thermolytic Inverter is still intact inside Beohernie's stomach.
Jay
Bernie.
If one of us were to be ingested, we might be able to retrieve the device.
If we can get inside Beohernie's stomach—
Jay
Bernie.
…We should in theory be able to retrieve the Inverter and exit again. Either through the creature's mouth or through the other end of the digestive—
Jay
[shakes his head vigorously] Lalalalalala, I don't wanna hear this!
Yeah, of all the bad ideas I've heard, and I've heard a few… Lookin' at you, Kai, this takes the cake!
The facts are indisputable. We need the Inverter. The Inverter is inside the beetle. Ergo, one of us must enter the beetle and retrieve it.
Jay
Don't tell me you're considering this!
I'm open to other suggestions if anyone has one.
How do we decide? Who gets to... you know, be—
It was my idea. The responsibility is mine.
No, I'm the responsible one.
Guys, guys, you're both too valuable to risk. It should be someone expendable, like Jay.
Jay
WHAT?!
Well, look who's talking!
[Kai, Nya, Jay, and Cole start arguing]
Guys, guys! We're going to settle this like adults.
Actually... I'm sitting this one out.
Aspheera stole my powers, remember? I can't help! I mean, Jay had to save me just now. Jay!
Jay
Huh, that's a weird way of saying thanks.
Just go without me. I'll only get in your way.
[puts a hand on Kai's shoulder] Powers don't make a hero.
Dude, that's just something that people with powers say to make people without powers feel better.
That's not true! We need you.
[Fireballs start falling]
We don't have time to argue! The people in that museum need help!
She's right! We gotta go!
[to Kai] If you change your mind, you'll know where we'll be.
Jay
Cole? Cole, wake up!
[wakes up and falls out of bed] Whoa- Ahh!
Jay
It's okay, buddy! You're okay!
Jay
[confused] Huh?
I can't believe you did that! You made me go back to the Bounty for the Traveler's Tea, and it fell off a cliff!
Jay
I what...?
Cole, relax, buddy. It was just a nightmare.
[turns to Kai] And you! You were even worse! You said I let you down! [Kai stares at him in astonishment] Well, it was a mistake, okay?! Sometimes things just happen!
Jay
Hey, hey, we understand. It's okay.
Yeah, right. That's not what you said in my dream!
[Glaring at them, he leaves, slamming the door]
[sighs] It's too early for this.
Jay
Maybe we should go after him?
[At the Monastery, Nya and Jay are headed towards each other in the same direction. Jay opens the door and they accidentally bump into each other]
Oh, sorry! Uh, I'll just step aside.
Jay
[simultaneously] Um, I'm going to step aside. [they stop and chuckle] We just can't get in sync, can we?
Let's do something fun. We have the whole afternoon free.
Jay
Oh, I already made plans down at the arcade. There's this game I really want to beat.
Oh, no, that's... that's fine. [Jay notices her disappointment] Um, some other time, maybe. [turns around and starts to head into the dojo]
Jay
Hey, how about when I get back, we do something you want to do?
Really? Cause I've always wanted to take... [gasps] dance lessons! Riding, jumping, and fighting is great, but sometimes I just want to glide across the dance floor.
Jay
Oh. Anything else?
Come on, you're always playing video games. Don't you want to do something that pushes you? Expand your horizons?
Jay
[looks away, then back to Nya] I'll do this for you, Nya. On one condition, it stays between us.
[gasps and sighs, hugging Jay] Mm-hm.
AAnnouncer
[sees Jay] But what's this? A late entrant? A new racer? [walks over to Jay] Who is this mysterious dark horse? Sir, what does winning the Key-Tana mean to you? Why are you entering the race?
Jay
Why? Because someone has to stop this! This race isn't what anyone thinks! It's all a big— [sees three Red Visors and gasps] Oh, no! [runs away]
[The Red Visors chase after Jay. One of them switches off the camera]
AAnnouncer
So tune into the Speedway Five-Billion, the most dangerous race in the world.
MMan
[to Jay] Thanks, pal, you saved my— [they see a Red Visor approaching] Oh, darn.
Jay
Ahhh!!!
[They crash. Later, Jay wakes up to see the man]
Jay
[groans] What just happened? I thought we were goners.
MMan
You must be new here. [lowers his bandana] Heh. Name's Scott.
Jay
Ugh. I'm... Jay.
[extends his hand out to Jay] Good to meet you, Jay. I've been waiting for you a long time.
[Jay takes his hand and shakes it]
RVRed Visor
[sees Jay and Scott] Hey! [Jay and Scott stop walking and turn around] Where do you two think you're going? Why are you wearing these clothes? Where are your uniforms? Identify yourselves.
[lowers his voice] Um, ahem, I am Red 29.
RVRed Visor
What? [points at another Visor] He is Red 29.
Red... 27 is what I was saying. Of course, you're Red 29.
[The Red Visors scan over Jay]
Jay
Uh... it's a disguise! We're undercover.
RVRed Visor
Undercover? Why was I not told?
Jay
We're way undercover! Like way undercover.
Jay
No way! Do you know what this is?! It's Prime Empire!
Jay
Look at it! It says Prime Empire right on the side! [gasps] It's real!
Excuse me, can you two pretend that we're not all video game nerds and tell the rest of us what Prime Empire is?
Jay
Oh, it's this legendary game created by the most famous game designer ever! Milton Dyer. But for some reason, it was never finished and they abandoned it. [plugs in the plug and presses a button]
Can't have been that good if they never released it.
I find old games to be unchallenging.
Yeah, I like new ones, where they really make you feel like you're there.
Are you sure this isn't a mistake?
Jay
[gasps] It's real! It's gotta be! It's addressed to us, look!
What? What is it? Bad news?
Jay
Ooh, we gotta get ready!
What? What happened? Someone's located the Teapot of Tyrahn? Uh, Pythor's back? My father's been found? What?
PPostman
Heh, you got an invitation, to Shintaro!
PPostman
Mm-hmm, the Ivory City! You don't deliver one of these every day. No siree.
Jay
Oh, ho! Fancy card!
That's the fanciest card I've ever seen. Oh, it even smells good.
Shintaro? As in, Shintaro?
As in the remote and exclusive mountain kingdom of Northern Ninjago.
Invitations to Shintaro are exceedingly rare. In recorded history, there have only been a handful of outsiders allowed into the Ivory City.
Jay
I've heard it's incredible! It's the most beautiful city in the world. And the people have wings. Haha! You can't beat wings.
What's it say? The invitation.
Jay
[reads the invitation] "King Vangelis of the Northern Kingdom of Shintaro of the Sky Folk, kindly requests your presence…" Of course he does. "…as honored guests…" Oh, that makes sense, "…to celebrate the birthday of the Princess, Vania."
Princess Vania? Who's that?
Apparently, the daughter of King Vangelis.
Little is known about Shintaro. Up until recently, it was still considered a mythical place.
Well, it looks like we're gonna see it. In person!
[The ninja cheer]
Jay
Ooh, I'm gonna pack!
Let's get the Bounty ready!
What's this about Shintaro?
We've been invited to the Kingdom of Shintaro, to attend Princess Vania's birthday. Master Wu, this is just what you need. This will get you out of your funk!
I am not in a "funk", and I'm not going. I'll stay here with Misako and P.I.X.A.L.. I can assist her in the hangar bay.
[whispering to Misako] He's in a funk. [to Wu] But how often does a chance to visit a legendary fabled kingdom come your way?
I've visited my share of legendary fabled kingdoms. Once you've seen one, you've seen them all. You go. Enjoy yourselves. You don't need me tagging along.
Now, you listen to me, Wu. I've had about enough of this moping around. You are going with the ninja!
I can't go charging off to far-flung places! Adventures and legendary kingdoms are for the young. You of all people should understand that.
[glaring angrily] Why should I understand?
[realizes his error] Uh, w-what I meant to say was, uh, um -
You listen to me, Wu. You are going on this journey, and you are going to like it! Is that understood?
But- but I- the chicken need-
Understood!? [to Lloyd] He's in.
Yes! This is gonna be just what we need!
KVKing Vangelis
Welcome, welcome! I'm most pleased you were able to accept our invitation. It is an honor.
The honor is ours. Shintaro is beyond anything we imagined.
VVangelis
I am only a mere figurehead. The citizens of our proud city are the heart of Shintaro.
PVPrincess Vania
[enters] Oh, they're here!
VVangelis
And please, meet my heart, her Royal, Princess Vania.
VVania
I am such a fan! I've read all about your adventures. It was my idea to invite you to my birthday.
It's an honor to be here, Princess.
VVania
So, is it true you've been to Hiroshi's Labyrinth?
VVania
Competed in the Tournament of Elements?
Oh ho, do we have stories for you.
VVania
[gasps] I need to hear them all.
VVangelis
You can begin by following me. Tomorrow will be a very busy day for all of us.
VVania
Cole, the Earth Elemental. What is it like to command the very earth? Is it as fun as it sounds?
Jay
Huh. Weird. The Princess seems to like Cole. I mean, he's my best friend and all, but Cole?
