Jay quotes from Ninjago

Oh, you know why you're the black ninja?! 'Cause it's the color of your heart!

Oh, yeah?! Well, what's the point of being a blue ninja?! Unless you're trying to hide out for some goofy clown college!

Oh, you take that back! There are reputable performers that attend clown college!

I blame you for this!

What did I do? You were the one who wanted to stay in a scrapheap full of Nindroids!

Enough, you two!

Sensei Wu!

What happened to him?!

He's turned evil! Help me!

But he's our sensei!

Not anymore.

More like Tech Wu.

Oh! Bad Sensei, bad! [he and Cole both start charging towards Techno Wu and he hits Cole in the face with his staff; laughs] I hate to say it, but you deserved that a little. [Techno Wu then uses his staff to punch him in the gut] Ooh!

[laughs] Right back at ya!

Seriously, who the heck was that guy?

Or gal.

Whoever it is, they turned our sensei against us.

And if we want to save him, we'll need to find out who this stranger is.

Perhaps I could have that answer for you in a few moments.

What is it?

Hmm…

It's obviously a clue, dirt clod.

I know it's a clue, zap trap, but it's so small. I just want to know what—

Stop it, you two. P.I.X.A.L., can you analyze it?

The sample is far too small, but given time, I should have an answer.

Then we should waste no more time and get back to the city. I'll use my Falcon Vision to warn Lloyd of our findings.

I thought taking the power out would give us the upper hand, but now that they have it and we don't, I guess the power has only shifted.

Don't worry, sis, we'll get Sensei back.

Watch your step, Nya. We don't know the last time this ladder was used.

That's thoughtful of you, Cole.

Hey! How about you watch where you're watching, Cole? Huh?

Oh, is that a threat, Jay? 'Cause coming from you, it sounds like some of your best material.

Hahaha! There's a reason nobody liked you.

If we digitize the ninja and Techno Blades using my experimental technology, you could fight him on his own turf inside the Digiverse.

What do you mean inside the Digiverse?

Ugh, weren't you listening? He's going to put us into the video game.

[excited] I know! Heh, I just wanted to hear it again!

[gets punched by Jay] Ow! What was that for?!

Just testing the rules. First rule: Cole's a crybaby!

[floating around in the ship] Is this the greatest thing ever or what?

Where are you? We're trapped in space and you... where did you go?

Guys, we're in space. I thought this is stuff only Fritz Donnegan gets to enjoy.

Fritz is from a comic book, dude. This is real!

Well, you got me hooked on the character. Would you lighten up and not step on your dreams of being a real Starfarer just yet?

We have to find a way to take control of the ship. If they get the Golden Weapons back to the Overlord, Ninjago doesn't stand much of a chance. [Kai accidentally bumps into him] Whoa!

But there's no access to the rest of the ship. The only way out is through the same airlock we came in.

And if my memory banks serve correct, space has a way of taking one's breath away, in the negative sense.

I can't wait to see the expressions on the faces of those metal chrome domes when they find out we've stowed away onboard.

They're Nindroids, nimrod, they don't have expressions.

Oh, yeah? Well, Zane has expressions.

Zane's not like them. Do we really have to go over this right now?

It's just so quiet, I'm only trying to fill the space. Get it? Space.

[saves Cole from floating off into space] Gotcha! Next time, don't get carried away.

Ah, thanks. I owe you one.

Okay. Stay away from Nya.

Maybe a different one.

No one happens to have a build-your-own-rocket-kit handy, do they?

[gets an idea] Whoa, that's it!

You have a build-your-own-rocket-kit?

No, but we can make one. Arcturus may not fly, but she'll give us all the metal we need. And Zane knows this solar system better than anyone.

And Kai's Fire could weld the missing parts.

Cole's manpower could do all the heavy lifting.

Jay has enough electricity and nerd knowledge to make a halfway believable spacecraft.

Haha. [realizes what Cole just said] Hey! Hey, this could actually work.

He's not letting go!

His heart! It's reaching critical mass!

If his heart overloads, he'll blow! He'll never survive!

Let go of him, Zane! What is he doing?!

He's protecting us!

I am a Nindroid, and ninja never quit. Go, ninja. GO! [blasts his ice powers on the Overlord]

What are you doing?! LET ME GO, YOU FOOL!

No, Zane! NO!

We have to get out of here, now!

Cyrus

…But then I saw technology invent new problems. Devastating problems. And then a Nindroid named Zane saved us all. He was the perfect balance between us and technology. He taught us that life should be a balance. Technology can improve our lives, but so can people. And if we focus on one at the expense of the other, that's when the balance is off. Our city will find its way again, but this time with Zane as our compass. With that, I give to you… [reveals a statue of Zane] …the Titanium Ninja.

Nya

So, what happens after this?

I don't know.

Jay

And I don't care. Today's about Zane.

Cyrus

And now Kai would like to speak for those who knew him best.

Kai

Everyone wondered what powered Zane. I don't know if we'll ever know, but I'd like to think it was brotherhood. Because he powered me. And he'll still power me as his memory lives on. Ninja never quit, and ninja will never be forgotten. Wherever you are, Zane, you'll always be one of us.

Lloyd

[popping up from a table; waving to him] Kai, back here.

Kai

[walks over to the table and is surprised to see Cole and Jay there, too] Jay? Cole?

Ha, you too?

Jay

The runt tricked us all.

Lloyd

[grabbing Kai's hand as he tries to take some food from the conveyor belt] We talk first, then eat.

Uh, trust me, do you know what kind of restraint I've had to stare at all of this noodle goodness? You're late.

Kai

Make it quick.

Lloyd

I know without Zane, things have been different, but we have to move on. The reason I brought you all here is because… maybe we should add someone new to our team.

Kai

A new ninja?

Jay

Are you crazy?!

Come on, Zane's irreplaceable!

Lloyd

I cared for him too, but now it's time to care about this team.

Kai

Maybe without Zane, there is no team.

Lloyd

What's this?

Jay

Uh…

Kai

[gasps] It's Zane.

What does it say?

Lloyd

[takes the note off the wall] It says he's alive.

Kai

I don't think those thugs were delivering a message to the Noodle House. I think they were delivering a message to us.

Jay

What do you mean it says he's alive?

Lloyd

Hey, I'm just telling you what it says.

Kai

Why would these thugs lead us here?

You know, this has to be some cruel joke, and I'm not laughing.

Lloyd

[sees the fortune cookies] Look, I think this was meant for us too.

Jay

Fortune cookies? Very peculiar.

Lloyd

Should we?

Kai

Uh, you do realize there's a fortune inside, right?

Oh, so that's why they're called that.

Lloyd

Listen to this. [reads his fortune] "Master Chen has personally invited you to participate in his Tournament of Elements."

Wait a minute. Are you saying that Mr. Chen, the same guy filling my belly with delicious goodness, is actually Master Chen?

Kai

[reading his fortune] "Secrecy is of the utmost importance. Tell no one, or suffer the consequences."

Jay

[reading his fortune] "If you ever want to see your friend again, meet on the pier at midnight and leave your weapons behind."

Uhh, at least I know I was invited.

Lloyd

You don't think...

Kai

It could be a trap. A lie to lure us in.

Jay

Yeah, but what if it's not? What if Zane's alive?

Lloyd

The Tournament of Elements. I'm starting to think this Master Chen makes more than noodles.

Kai

You can forget bringing in a new ninja, Lloyd. Let's go see about an old one.
