[After no more traps are active, the ninja are each standing on a tile]
KaiI can make it. It's just a hop, skip, and a jump. [tries to use Airjitzu, but the tiles under him fall; crawls back]
But what else comes with a hop, skip, and a jump? You trigger one more trap, I don't know how much more we can take.
The clue clearly said this is a test a Spinjitzu master cannot do. So… [shouting] WHY ARE WE NOT LISTENING TO THE CLUE?!
Kai
Trust me, I can make it!
Kai
[as they stand in front of the skeleton of the First Spinjitzu Master; gasps] It's him. The First Spinjitzu Master.
[The ninja all kneel before the skeleton]
The Realm Crystal. [takes the crystal out of the skeleton's hands]
Kai
How does it work?
[appearing while no longer possessing Lloyd's body and holding him hostage] How it works is you'll hand over the Crystal, or say goodbye to your friend!
[weakly] I'm sorry. I couldn't stop him.
Kai
Shouldn't we be going to Stiix? The longer we wait, the worse it'll get.
On what? Magic tea that will make us invincible? Give us special powers? Is it gonna give us four arms?
Sadly, no magical tea today. I had to sell the rest of the merchandise along with everything else.
What? You sold your business? But that was for your retirement.
[Cyrus Borg arrives]
While we were away, I had Borg use the money from the tea farm to create us some new toys to balance the scales. They are expensive, you know.
It's been so long, I hardly recognize any of you. Lloyd looks older. I see a Water Ninja. A titanium Nindroid. Cole is a...a ghost? Huh. Jay looks shorter. And then there's Kai.
Hey, what do you mean I look shorter?
[sees Nya] Oh, hey, sweetheart. Mind sticking around for a segment to teach girls how to apply makeup?
[angered] You're gonna need makeup when I rearrange your face! [walks over to punch Dareth]
[holds Nya back] Easy! [to Dareth] Nya's one of us now, there's no reason she should be treated differently.
No reason? You added a girl to the group. You know how much that hurts your image? You're a boy band, a hunk machine!
No, we're equals. Our power comes from no one being more important than the other.
Kai
Important? No. Irresistible... uh, debatable. [winks at fangirls at the doorway]
[chuckles] I don't tell you how to do your business, don't tell me how to do mine. Remember how every time you save Ninjago no one cared? Well, now Dareth's in charge and Dareth says don't change the recipe. You boys are the face of the franchise, and now the face of Teen Idol!
[He brings out a magazine with Lloyd on it and Jay and Cole on each side on a heart with Nya in it]
[reads the title] "Sensei Lloyd"? But I'm only a Sensei-in-training.
And what's this about me and Jay still fighting over Nya? That's old news.
Who cares if it's real or not? Isn't this what you've always dreamed of? You're the hottest thing in Ninjago!
[The ninja visit Lil' Nelson at the hospital]
As a part of the Grant-A-Wish Foundation, we dub you an Honorary Ninja for the Day.
NNelson
Could you stay to sign their casts?
Aw, I wish we could, but duty calls.
[looks out the window] Uh, not sure how far we'll get. Looks like we've got company.
[looks out the window and sees their fans] How'd they find us?
Kai
[on his phone] Reply. Of course I'm at the hospital. My hair is sick. Haha. Send.
Are you sending out a Chirp?
Kai
Uh, my followers have needs too.
[Dareth visits the ninja at Kryptarium Prison]
What are you doing to get us out of here!?
This is no place for a Nindroid!
Kai
I don't look good in stripes!
They're all so mean! Help us! You have to help us!
Shh. While we're stuck in here, the Djinn is out there.
I know, I'm doing everything I can. Borg wanted me to let you know that the Djinn broke into Hiroshi's Labyrinth Stronghold and took the Realm Crystal. The good news is everything else is accounted for. The bad news is the Djinn may now have his old crew back.
Kai
You have to get us out of here, Dareth. You're our manager. What are you doing to manage this?
[whispering] Did you get the cake? I baked some tools in it for you to cut through the bars.
Cake? We didn’t get any cake.
Uh, how was I supposed to know there was something in it? I just thought it was crunchy.
You ate our only way out?!
Well, looks like you’re on your own. Be strong, little ninja.
Kai
What do you mean on our own?
You're not leaving us in here!
[walks to the Warden] If anything happens to them in here, you'll have to answer to the Brown Ninja.
WWarden
If there's a Brown Ninja out there, maybe he belongs in here too.
Uh, I'll give him the message. Gotta go. [leaves]
Kai
[touches an electric fence] Ow! Careful, Zane. It's electrified.
I believe all of the signs on this repo yard made that abundantly clear. Perhaps there's another suitable solution past this obstacle. Airjitzu?
[He uses Airjitzu to fly over the fence]
Kai
You don't have to sound so cocky.
RMRepo Man
[sees Kai and Zane] Looks like we have some trespassers. [to his dog] Go get them, Sir Chomps-A-Lot.
[Zane tries to break the Bounty's restraints]
Kai
Would you hurry up?
These chains will take me a while. You could keep interrupting me or perhaps start making yourself useful.
[Kai tries to melt the chains, but the Repo Man's dog starts chasing him]
Kai
Aah! Get away, get away, get away, get away!!
RMRepo Man
Trespasser! Don't move!
[He shoots at Zane, but misses and breaks the chain instead. The dog is now chasing both Zane and Kai]
Kai
I told you to hurry up!
Would you be quiet and run?!
[Back on Misfortune's Keep, Zane tries to remove the strip of metal from Jay's mouth]
DDogshank
He banished them right before our eyes!
FFlintlocke
Fear not, Buttercup. We all know the realms we came from were a lot more welcoming than this world's ever been.
But how are we supposed to stop him? Without the poison, we don't stand a ghost of a chance.
Kai
How long are you gonna say that?
If Nadakhan gets his way, not long.
DDogshank
Maybe it's best if we keep our distance.
Kai
But that's my sister he's got.
Kai's right, we have to do something. But what?
[now free from the strip of metal] We have the poison! Oh, boy, that really hurt.
Kai
I thought the poison was gone long ago.
Thanks to Clancee, it's right here.
And you still have your wish.
I do. But if there's anything I learned, it's that wishing for something won't make it come true. We all tried to get something from Nadakhan, and look what happened.
It only made him stronger.
Right, but if we really want something, don't wish it to happen, make it happen.
But how are we gonna get close?
Maybe one of us doesn't have to get close.
You can take the shot from far away. Once he's weakened, we'll do the rest.
FFlintlocke
But I can't even shoot water in an ocean.
According to Nadakhan. But he never held the real power, we did.
Kai
I don't follow.
All his wishes, he could never make them on his own. He needed us to make them come true. Just like when I wished to be rich, he tried to convince me my dad died, but that wasn't my real dad. My real dad lives with my mom, happy in the junkyard.
And how did he manage to capture the greatest ninja this world has ever seen?
We all wished ourselves away. He's right, it's worth a shot, Flintlocke.
SDr. Saunders
The ninja. The Master Wu.
SSaunders
Oh, please, we are all friends. You must call me by my first name, yes? Sander, yes?
Kai
[whispering to Nya] Dr. Sander Saunders?
SSaunders
At your service. [chuckles] I am so pleased to be seeing you at this now. We are opening our new exhibit. Come. You see, come. [leads Wu and the ninja to the entrance to the hall] Might I be presenting the Hall of Villainy.
SSaunders
[presenting statues and portraits of the ninja's villains and enemies] Cryptor.
SSaunders
And Morro. Check this out! We don't just open on the Day of Departed. It's the Day of Departed lunar eclipse. A special eclipse.
The rarest Yin-Yang eclipse.
SSaunders
Oh, poetic, is it not? Scary holiday, scary exhibit, scary moon, there is magic in the air.
[Jay arrives at the museum, where the other ninja are waiting for him]
Guys, I have the ghost story to end all ghost stories. You will never guess what just happened.
Kai
You battled the possessed mannequin of a mortal enemy?
Him and his goons tried to send you to the Departed Realm with magic blades?
But you defeated them first.
And saw their ghosts disappear into the night.
Oh, okay, fine, you guessed. Well, since you know so much, why were all those ghosts out here?
[approaching them] Because distracting you was part of Master Yang's plan.
[appearing beside Wu] And he had help.
[He and the other ninja bring out their weapons]
Any other villains want to show up tonight?
Kai
We stopped five, what's one more?
No, put away your weapons. He's here to help. Morro, tell them.
Yang tricked Cole into helping him open a rift to return to Ninjago.
Cole? How'd he trick you?
Are you sure? He's been fading a lot lately. He's kind of easy to miss.
ANAll ninja
[gasp in realization] We forgot Cole!
To the Bounty. They must be at the Temple of the Airjitzu Master. [to Morro] Thank you, Morro.
Happy Day of the Departed, Master.
[Morro returns to his pedestal and poses. His spirit leaves his statue and goes back to the Departed Realm]
[Ninjago Museum of History; The ninja clean out all the villain mannequin pieces after the events of the Day of the Departed battle]
[holding the head piece of the Samukai mannequin] This ends now, Samukai! Nope. Pretending this is the actual Samukai doesn't make cleaning up the museum any more interesting. This is so lame. We're ninja, not janitors.
[passing by, pushing a cart with the Chen mannequin] Come on, Jay. We're all kind of responsible for the damage to the museum. After all, if we hadn't had that massive battle on the Day of the Departed, this place would still be in one piece.
Yeah, and whose fault is that, Cole?
Okay. How many more times do I have to say, "I'm sorry for accidentally unleashing the ghostly forces of evil that attacked Ninjago?"
How high can you count? [Cole lifts up the wheelbarrow's handles and his hands glow orange in Earth Punch, making him let go] Speaking of which, you're still not used to having your old, non-ghost hands back?
[struggling while carrying a box] This is exhausting. [sets the box down to straighten her back, and lays her head down on it] If I could go back in time, I'd tell Dr. Saunders we were too busy to help.
Nya, you may recall that the rest of us once time-traveled. It can have devastating effects, and should not be used lightly. Certainly not to get out of labor.
It's just an expression, Zane.
Kai
[staring at a familiar painting] I... I don't believe it.
[The two siblings stand in front of a painting of their parents]
Kai
I think it's a portrait of... our parents.
[looks at the back of the painting] Whoa. This dates to when I was, like, 3 years old.
Kai
Shortly before they disappeared. We know so little about them, Nya.
Father was the Elemental Master of Fire. Mother was the Master of Water. [conjures a water ball]
Kai
And they left us the old blacksmith shop and little else.
[On the Bounty, the alarms are going off]
Um, weren't we just outside? When did we get here?
My circuits are picking up an energy displacement.
Kai
There was a displacement, all right. It displaced us right in here.
[covering his ears from the alarm] I don't know, but it's loud!
Nya: [looks at some panels] These energy readings are off the charts. Where is it coming from?
I'm trying to pinpoint the location.
[still covering his ears from the alarm] How about pinpointing the location of the off button?! These alarms are giving me a... [Kai slams on a nearby console, turning the alarm off and calming Jay down] ...headache. Thank you.
No, it's not. I've always had sensitive ears and—
I meant, I think I know how we suddenly appeared on the Destiny's Bounty.
The displacement we experienced was not caused by just any normal energy, it was temporal energy.
Oh, well, temporal energy, of course. Everyone knows that's, um... powerful.
Kai
You have no idea what temporal means, do you?
Precisely. Whatever created that displacement can warp the very fabric of space-time.
Which is powerful, right?
Very. All the normal rules of existence no longer apply to such a force.
[to Kai] Told you it was powerful.
Okay, Master Wu, you've had your tea. Now can we talk?
Ask any question you wish.
Who did we fight in the monastery?
Kai
From the painting?
Kai
How did he speed up time like that?
Who ate my pudding cup? [the other ninja stare at him] What? He said ask any question. I put my name on this. Just because we're in a new dojo doesn't mean we disobey the refrigerator rules!
Hey, I just realized... the mural we saw at the museum, that must be the battle Wu just told us about.
But Dr. Saunders said the Hands of Time were a myth.
History is art, not science. Even an expert such as Dr. Saunders can be mistaken from time to time.
Ha! True that! Know how I know? 'Cause Acronix was a so-called myth, and we totally busted him! Haha!
Kai
Yeah! Hahaha! Except now, there's nothing to do.
Hm, the temple still needs unpacking.
Ugh, kinda wish we hadn't busted him. [to Nya] Hey, Nya. Wanna hang out?
