[In Ninjago City, the ninja are trying to sell fliers for Steep Wisdom]
KaiUh, Steep Wisdom. Enlightenment in a cup!
WWoman
Steep Wisdom? Never heard of it.
Best little tea shop in Ninjago.
First cup is free, with a flier.
Take... Why won't you take the flier? Just take the flier! [sighs]
Kai
[groans] I see no one else is having any luck.
Oh, it's as if they think I'm passing out a communicable disease. I mean, sure, I have a cold sore, but it's hardly contagious.
Aah! [he and the other ninja back away]
[The ninja are riding to Stiix in the desert]
JCJay, Cole, and Zane
[singing] 92,898 bottles of tea on the wall, 92,898 bottles of tea, you take one down and pass it around, 92,8-
Kai
Enough! I'm really thirsty, so we don't need to keep singing about tea!
Ho, ho! Someone should've had their breakfast.
Kai
Ugh, we've been following the sun for hours. We should've arrived at Stiix already.
But Stiix is on the eastern coast. We should be riding away from the sun.
Why are you just telling us now?!
Because Kai wanted to lead.
Great! We're officially lost! You know, we had a leg up, but nooo, Kai wanted to lead!
Kai
I swear, my gut says we should be following the sun.
Ugh, you're arguing with a Nindroid. He's a walking computer. Why is it when Lloyd's gone, we look to Kai? We should really be following Zane.
You know, he is the most logical choice.
Kai
Well, I still think it's that way. And when I learn Airjitzu first, we'll see who's right. [his Walloper starts following the others] Hey, no, this way! Ugh! [his Walloper doesn’t listen] Ugh, fine, we'll follow Zane.
[Zane sees something up ahead and speeds up on his Walloper]
He's already found something. Let's go. [they see train tracks] Train tracks.
They lead straight to Stiix.
Hey, you hear that, Kai? They lead to Stiix. We follow Zane and look what happens.
Kai
But Sensei said the path we seek is never a straight line.
He also said to rely on each other to guide.
JCJay, Cole, and Zane
[continue singing] 92,897 bottles of tea on the wall, 92,897 bottles of tea, you take one down…
WWrayth
You think a train can stop a Ghost? Your world will pay dearly when Morro finds the tomb. And when he does, he will take possession of the—
[He pulls on his chain, splashing himself with water and dissolving]
What, uh, what just happened?
Yeah, but he was just gonna tell us what was in the tomb. Couldn't it have waited another second?
Kai
We may not know what's in the tomb, but we do know one thing: how to stop a Ghost.
CJCole, Jay and Zane
Water?
Unusual. I guess it's true. The path we seek is never a straight line.
Uh, speaking of straight lines, if that train's heading to Stiix, wouldn't it be faster if we...
AAll
[chase the train] Hey! Wait for us! Slow down! Slow down!
Kai
We want the scroll, Ronin. What do you want for it?
What? Two hundred? We don't have that kind of dough!
Come on, you guys once had the Golden Weapons. You honestly telling me you've never pinched anything?
Kai
No, we don't pinch! And we don't even have pockets.
What if we were to tell you all of Ninjago depends on it?
Well then, that changes everything. Four hundred.
Argh, you can't just double the price!
[The ninja huddle together]
Kai
All right, so my gut says—
Kai
What, my opinion doesn't matter?
We don't listen to your gut anymore, Kai. Zane's the leader. You just get us lost.
Well, I say we give him what he wants. I sense if we won't, Morro will.
Kai
All right, but let me negotiate. [turns back to Ronin] Two hundred.
Kai
Three hundred.
Kai
Three-fifty!
Kai
Deal!
[The ninja walk out the shop]
[sarcastically] Nice negotiations, Kai.
Kai
I didn't see you do any better.
[sees a Strangle Weed creeping up to Cole's ankle; speaking backwards] Watch out! The Strangle Weed! Cole!
I don't know. I think he's talking backwards. Slow down! We can't understand you!
[speaking backwards] Strangle Weed! Strangle Weed!
AH! STRANGLE WEED! IT'S GOT ME!
Kai
[in the crane, confused as to what Zane is trying to say] You want me to drop it? All right.
[Jay and Zane manage to get Cole untangled from the Strangle Weed. Kai drops a wooden post from the crane, and it causes the dock to start collapsing. Cole, Jay and Zane quickly run off the dock as it collapses. The dock foreman watches in dismay, and Kai gets out of the crane to see the dock ruined]
Kai
[turns to the foreman, awkwardly] So, heh, how about getting paid?
His voice mod's on the fritz. I can fix it, but it's gonna take time.
[speaking backwards] It's not that bad, is it? [sighs]
Sorry, Zane, you tried to lead, but I guess it just didn't work out.
Kai
[sighs] No money, no scroll. And it couldn't have happened at a worse time.
What are you, a bunch of quitters? Sure, we can't understand Zane, but did we ever? And Kai's the last person I'd want to follow.
Kai
Hey!
But now, I'm in charge. We may not have the money to buy the Scroll, but I say we don't need it.
'Cause we're gonna steal it!
Jay, we're ninja, not thieves!
Yeah, but we're stealing from a thief. Haven't you ever heard, two wrongs make a right?
Kai
Uh, Jay, I don't think that's how it goes.
[speaking backwards] It's "two wrongs don't make a right."
Shut it, Mush Mouth! I'm the leader and what I say goes. After Ronin locks up tonight, we steal the Scroll of Airjitzu!
Kai
Thanks for the pick-me-up.
Remember what I said about second chances, and I'm gonna hold you that deal. So long, and I hope you get your friend back. [leaves]
[Kai meets up with the other ninja]
Second chances? What did he mean by that?
Kai
We may have lost out on the Scroll, but he thinks there may be another way to learn Airjitzu.
[speaking backwards] This is great news.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a sec, Ronin only makes deals in his favor, and you're a horrible negotiator.
Kai, what did you give him?
Kai
I sort of gave him... my shares of the tea farm... along with all of yours.
[speaking backwards] That's horrible news!
Kai
I did what I had to, and for Lloyd, I'd do it again.
You're right. But I have to ask, if Morro has the only Scroll, just how are we gonna learn Airjitzu?
Kai
Let's just say, it's not gonna be easy. We have a ghost of a chance.
[The ninja arrive on a tour to Yang's Haunted Temple]
PKPatty Keys
Welcome to Yang's Haunted Temple, the historical landmark and former home of Sensei Yang, the notorious sensei without a pupil, infamous for creating the lost martial art of Airjitzu. Unfortunately, we can't take our tour groups inside, for rumors say anyone trapped inside its walls at sunrise, will be turned into a Ghost permanently. But, if you listen closely, maybe we'll be able to hear the Ghost of Sensei Yang himself looking for his lost pupils.
[yelling] I HOPE IT’S NOT A RUMOR, FOR IT’S OUR ONLY HOPE!
Ah, sorry about my loud friend. He's a little hard of hearing.
PPatty
Known for his un- [clears throat] -usual teaching methods ...
Kai
[to Jay] I thought you said you fixed him?
At least he's no longer talking backwards. I guess my tinkering got his volume level stuck, heh.
AT LEAST YOU CAN UNDERSTAND ME NOW!
Kai
[sees a moving painting of a ship in the sea] Uh, guys? Are paintings supposed to move?
[Jay taps the painting, and water comes out of it, slowly flooding the room]
Why would you touch the scary picture, Jay?!
I didn't know it would do that, Cole!
Now that both Morro and you have Airjitzu, it's time to turn our attention to the second clue, the Sword in the Cloud.
[in a pirate accent] Me senses tell me it could be many a swords. Thar be the Fire Sword, the Sword of Destiny, the Golden Cutlass...
Kai
[to Jay] I thought you said you fixed his voice.
I did. [snickers] And then I made it better.
...the Sword of Invisibility, the Sword of Invincibility...
Kai
[snickers, to Jay] You're right, he is better.
[sees a yak] Oh, look, a little goat!
Kai
That's not a goat. Don't you remember? We rode one of those.
It's got horns. It's a goat.
Kai
Even giraffes have horns. And that's not a goat, it's a yak.
A yak? No way. Maybe it's a cow.
Kai
I'm about to have a cow.
NNobu
Fenwick's convinced there's no way to stop the Queen of the Cursed, so he's agreed to help Morro only to help himself. But he doesn't know you've escaped. You have to get the Sword of Sanctuary, or else Morro will have too big of an advantage.
NNobu
The tallest tower. But you must hurry, they're already headed there.
Kai
Guess there's no time to take the stairs. You thinking what I'm thinking?
KCKai, Cole and Zane
Airjitzu!
Cyclondo! [groans] Why isn't it catching on?
We're almost to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master.
Yeah, can't believe we're almost there after all we've been through.
Kai
I can't believe I'm underwater.
You? What about me? Just how thick is this glass?
[on screen] We're heading to your location now. With Morro already ahead of you and able to foresee the traps protecting the tomb with the Sword of Sanctuary, it's going to be up to you four to find the Realm Crystal before he does.
Hehe, Cole's a Ghost, Kai can't swim, we have no magical sword or Elemental Powers. [laughs nervously] What could go wrong?
