Kai quotes from Ninjago

[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.

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.

Welcome to the Yang Slither Pits Final. In the left corner, we have Kai, the Flaming Shogun. And in the right corner, we have Kruncha.

Kai

Ninja, go! [defeats Kruncha with his Spinjitzu] Didn't your mama ever warn you not to play with me?

Kruncha

No.

Victor of the Slither Pit and undefeated champion... Kai, the Flaming Shogun!

Kai

The Red Shogun. Red Shogun! [kicks Kruncha's head]

Kruncha

Hey!

Nuckal

Some fight that was. [picks up Kruncha's bones]

Kruncha

Let's get out of here. You said to go down in the first.

Nuckal

I said don't be the first to go down!

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.

Lloyd

You know him. You said his name's Clouse.

Garmadon

Don't be fooled by his attire. He is a Master of Dark Arts and Master Chen's number two.

Huh, I thought Master Chen's number two was an eggroll and fried rice.

Kai

Why haven't you or Wu ever told us there are others with powers like us?

Garmadon

Because there are some things we don't want you to know. You were led to believe you were special, yet you never questioned where your powers came from.

Jay

Uh, are you implying that I'm not special?

Garmadon

Everyone on this ship is a descendant of an original Elemental Master.

Lloyd

Elemental Master? Who were they?

Garmadon

They were the First Spinjitzu Master's guardians, each endowed with an Elemental Power that has passed down through generations.

Kai

if that's true, then so is my sister Nya. But she can't do what I can.

Garmadon

Can't she? Power lies in all of you. It only needs to be awoken. The fighters here serve no master and have managed to unlock their own True Potential. For instance, that pale man, a distant relative to the Master of Light. Watch closely and you'll see how he's stayed hidden all these years. [Mr. Pale disappears, shocking the ninja. Griffin Turner runs by] Then there's Griffin Turner. Grandson to the Master of Speed.

Hey, you can't lay a hand on me. I'm faster than fast, swifter than swift!

Jay

Uh, Master of Speed? Pfft. That's not an Element.

Garmadon

So asks the Master of Lightning.

Oh, snap, he got you there.

Welcome to the Tournament of Elements. Now everyone can all di—[the door suddenly closes and everyone gasps] —rect your attention to me!

Garmadon

[whispering to Lloyd] I forgot to mention he has a penchant for theatrics.

[laughs] Never before have so many Elemental Fighters been under one roof. I see Master of Fire, Earth, Shadow, Speed, even a prophesied Green Savior. And a former pupil has returned. [points to a gong] This symbol before you is for the Anacondrai, fiercest Serpentine warrior to ever roam this land. Its creed: "Only one can remain."

Kai

Good, looks like we're each in our own bracket. We won't have to face each other for a while.

Lloyd

Better find Zane before that happens.

[presents a Jadeblade] Behold, a Jadeblade. Here, it represents life. Obtain it, move on. Allow your opponent to take it, loser. The rules are simple. Every match will be different. No two fights will be the same. Your powers will keep you in the Tournament. Use it or lose it.

Karlof

Hm, what does Karlof win?

Win and stay on the island. Win it all, and you'll receive fortunes beyond your wildest dreams, and lifetime supply of Master Chen noodles. But no one is here because of noodle. You want the glory of being the greatest fighter in all of Ninjago!

Garmadon

And what happens if they lose?

Lose? Who here likes to lose? [everyone else laughs, except the ninja] Now please, enjoy my island. It's a super fun happy place. Hahaha. Fun time on me.

[escorts Kai to his room] Your Fire suite, Master Kai.

Kai

Are you kidding me? Ha! Fire! [sees a picture of himself] Whoa, so handsome. [goes to the balcony] I could get used to this. [sees Skylor next door] Huh? [Skylor turns to him and he smiles] Ah, looks like we're neighbors. I'm Kai, Master of Fire. [uses Fire on his hand]

Skylor

Skylor, Master of... wouldn't you like to know?

Kai

[the Fire starts to hurt his hand] Huh? Ow, ow, ow, ow!

[eating] At least the chow's good.

Jay

Arrgh, it's killing me. What's under the trapdoor? What happens when you lose?

Garmadon

Don't think about that.

Jay

It's all I can think about. I moved on. I feel guilt. These are not good feelings.

Kai

You think you feel bad? Imaging how I feel. Our mission is simple. Tonight we find Zane and get off this crazy island.

And just how are we supposed to do that? You heard Chen. Break a rule and we're out. He's not gonna let us roam around.

Kai

Then it's a good thing we're ninja. Meet me in my room at midnight.

[enters] You mind if I join you?

Jay

Disappear, pal! This is private. [Mr. Pale turns invisible] I know you're still here. I can see your lunch tray. [Mr. Pale leaves]

Wow, Jay, you were really mean.

Jay

How am I supposed to know if we can trust him? See what this island is doing to me? It's corrupting me! It has to stop. I'll see you tonight.

Jay

No more sneaking around. From now on, let's just follow the rules.

Kai

We may not have found Zane, but we've found something just as important. This tournament isn't about glory. It's about Chen stealing all of our elemental powers.

Lloyd

But why? What is he planning?

Kai

I don't know. But if we're gonna find out and find Zane, we have to play by his rules. Agreed?

Agreed.

Good thing we weren't spotted. That was close.

Jay

Yeah, too close.

Garmadon

There's a valuable lesson here, son. If you turn your back on your first evil Sensei in an effort to go straight… you may not be served creamy biscuits.

Lloyd

Well, I know what we are being served. A whole bunch of baloney. [to Kai] This isn't a fighting tournament, it's an alibi for Chen to steal everyone's powers. But we still don't know why.

Kai

Isn't it obvious? Chen wants to destroy New Ninjago City. I don't know what it is, but that place has had a string of bad luck.

I'm not so sure. From what Sensei G's told us about him, I have a feeling it's something far more sinister.

Jay

And may I remind us, we still don't know where Zane is, which is why we all need to take care of our first rounds to give us more time. Don't look at me. I've already moved on.

Your opponent got himself kicked out.

Jay

[chuckles] Either way, it's my day off. Extra creamy biscuits. And don't skimp.

Taking a day off? And here I thought ninja never quit.

Jay

I used to think ninja wouldn't steal your girlfriend!

Garmadon

Whatever you have to say to each other, say it now, because harbouring grudges hurts no one but yourselves.

Lloyd

He's right, you two should be preparing to fight your next opponent, not each other.

What grudge? I already dropped it.

Jay

I dropped it first.

Did not!

Jay

Did too!

Garmadon

The tournament will test them, Lloyd. Either find a way for them to make peace, or neither of them will move on.

Jay

What's all the commotion?

No, he can't do this.

Lloyd

He already did.

We gotta fight each other!

Jay

Why does it say I have to fight Cole?! It didn't say that before. I'm not ready to fight. It was supposed to be my day off!

I tried to warn you, but you never listen. Talk, yes. Listen, not so much.

Clouse

[walks up to the ninja] Is there a problem, ninja?

You cheated! You changed the brackets!

Clouse

Oopsie. [laughs and walks away]

Lloyd

What do we do? They can't fight each other. We came here to become whole, not fall further apart.

Garmadon

You can't undo what's been done. My only advice is to be at peace with it.

Jay

Peace? One of us has to lose! Oh, my gosh, it's totally gonna be me! He's got super strength and what do I have?! Quick, tell me! WHAT DO I HAVE?!

Lloyd

Don't listen to my dad. We find Zane, then none of us have to battle. Your fight isn't until tonight, so we still have time to figure out what Chen's up to and stop this.

Kai

I think I know just the person who can help, and I think he already knows.
