No way! Do you know what this is?! It's Prime Empire!
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?
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]
KaiCan'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.
Kai
Huh, I love this infinite-lives-thing!
Infinite? Who told you that? You get four lives in Prime Empire. And looks like you've used three.
Kai
[gasps] What? What? Why didn't anyone tell me this?
I tried, but you wouldn't listen.
Kai
Oh, sure, blame the victim!
Kai
This is incredible!
Are you sure this isn't a mistake?
[gasps] It's real! It's gotta be! It's addressed to us, look!
What? What is it? Bad news?
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.
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.
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.
[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]
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?
Kai
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?
Huh. Weird. The Princess seems to like Cole. I mean, he's my best friend and all, but Cole?
GGroko
[sees Kai and Zane] Who are they?
GGarpo
Outsiders! They must be in league with the Skull Sorcerer!
GGinkle
Hmm, aren't all of the Skull Sorcerer's servants evil skeletons?
GGroko
Right, yes. That means...
GGarpo
They must be skeletons!
GGinkle
For skeletons, they seem rather fleshy.
We are not working for the Skull Sorcerer. In fact, we've just orchestrated an escape from him and freed several other Geckles.
GGroko
Ha! A likely story, fleshy skeleton.
Kai
We aren't skeletons! I mean, we have skeletons, of course. But - but there's so much more to us. Like veins and organs and stuff.
I have none of those things.
GGulch
Do you know the one called "Gilly?"
Kai
But we are Elemental Masters.
Our friends also possess Elemental Powers. We were separated and are trying to find them.
GGulch
There are more of you? Then we will try to help you in light of the dishonor we have brought upon ourselves with our suspicions. I propose you, Red-Ninja-Who-Is-Not-A-Skeleton, be elected the new Chancellor!
Kai
What? No, no, no, I-I don't want to be-
[The Geckles throw rocks at Kai]
Kai
Aah! What are they doing?
GGulch
Congratulations, Chancellor Red-Ninja-Who-Is-Not-A-Skeleton.
Kai
Okay, fine! My first motion as Chancellor, is for everyone to stop throwing stuff at me! Got it?
[Kai smiles, but the Geckles throw more rocks at him]
Kai
What? Ugh, no! I just said no more throwing!
It would appear Geckles express their approval by throwing objects at each other.
