[carrying Nya's Samurai X suit] When I asked if you wanted to "hang out" I meant play video games or something, not pack and ship your Samurai X suit back to the cave. [Nya looks at her helmet, he sighs] You gotta let it go. You're the Water Ninja now.
I know, but it's hard. I only inherited my Water power. Samurai X is something I actually created, with my own hands.
[takes Nya's hands] These hands?
[Nya smiles. Kai comes into the room]
KaiWhoa! Sorry! [covers his eyes] Didn't mean to interrupt! Heh, I didn't see anything!
Kai
[still covering his eyes] Something you need to see. Hurry! [runs into the doorway] Ugh.
[Kai, Jay and Cole are training]
Zane is down, folks are disappearing all over town, and we can't do a thing to help! If we just knew why Acronix and Krux are taking people.
For the last time, they are not hostages.
Maybe they're gonna hypnotize them into being an army?
Krux and Acronix already have an army, of Samurai snakes.
Well, you know my other theories—
Do not say alien abductions again, or dimensional rifts, or elven magic portals! [uses his Earth Punch on Jay] Sorry, it's just...I'm tired of speculating. We need to take action! Right, Kai? [notices Kai] Kai? You okay? You haven't been the same since you squared off against Krux. Did... did he do something?
Kai
More like said something. No, nothing. I'm fine.
Good, 'cause I was just saying it's time to stop guessing and to start fighting!
Kai
So you're saying we capture one of those snake guys and bring them back here for Wu to question?
I just want to fight somebody. But okay, we could do that too.
Kai
Why not?
Because Master Wu still hasn't recovered from his battle with Acronix. He rambles. He passes out. I think he's a lot more hurt than he lets on.
Kai
Oh, great! All this and now we have no leader, either?
Uh, that's not exactly true. With Wu out of commission, the, um...logical successor would be, uh...
Kai
"Temporary Master Lloyd", you mean.
Okay, Temporary Master Lloyd in Training, we mere ninja await your words of wisdom, which I assume involve kicking some butt till we get a few answers, right?
Wrong. Too random. We need a plan.
Kai
We have one: go kick some butt.
Really? Whose butt? Where?
Kai
We'll work it out down there.
No, we'll work it out here first. That's what Wu would do. Come on!
Kai
Oh, yay, I just love sitting around and talking instead of doing.
Cut him some slack, guys. He's doing the best he can.
These snakes are behaving curiously.
Kai
You think? 'Cause boosting scrap metal doesn't seem like, you know, normal snake behavior.
Neither does reforming into unstoppable samurai things.
I mean strategically. They appear more interested in keeping us away from their compatriots that are stealing metal, than they are in actually defeating us.
Well, they finally have to deal with us at full strength. And—hang on, has anyone seen Jay?
Kai
No. Now that you mention it, he wasn't with us when we arrived.
You know, just once, it would be nice to go into battle with a full team.
Kai
Well, don't tell us, tell Jay! He's the one who took off for wherever without saying a word to us.
I'm sure he has a good reason.
Kai
Well, I'm glad you're sure.
One question: How are we supposed to get to the museum? Our vehicles got trashed by the snakes.
Uh, we have the Supersonic Raider Jet.
Uh, actually, hehe, my dad's still kind of working on that. We can take the Lightning Bike.
Kai and I have our old bikes.
Well, I was saving this for your birthday, but… [presses a button, revealing a new ship] The Destiny's Shadow.
Kai
Oh, come on! First Jay, now Lloyd? Does everyone get a new ride for their birthday!? [notices everyone else staring at him] Uh, I said that out loud, didn't I?
Kai
Master Wu.
Kai
Long story, but we're back in time. Forty years. When you, Garmadon, and the Elemental Masters fought Krux and Acronix at the monastery. Only this time, the good guys are losing.
Kai
Not just you you. Young you, too, Wu. Oh, that's a mouthful.
Kai
Ugh, we still don't know who's behind this, and Cole gets to fight a dangerous monster while I'm cooled up inside Zane's mind trying to solve a puzzle.
It's a Ninjigma. Heh! You're just mad because I'm gonna solve it first.
Need I remind you boys that whoever is hacking Zane could be listening to our every word? I say we show them that they messed with the wrong Nindroid!
Kai
I still don't get it.
[slowly] Do you need me to talk slower, Kai?
Borg may have created the Digiverse with good intentions, it was taken over by the Digital Over-Over-Over-Over—
It looks like the corrupted code spread to this memory.
Maybe some of these pictures are traps.
Kai
Now you say something.
It's a Zane puzzle, so Zane's picture has gotta be a safe move.
Kai
You know, sometimes I forget that Zane isn't human.
Really? Heh! Because he's covered in metal, you know.
The corrupted code seems confined to Zane's secondary systems for now. I can temporarily reroute his memory functions through the Samurai X Computer to buy you some time, but not much.
Kai
That means if we don't solve these puzzles soon, Zane might lose control...for good.
Ooh! It's a riddle! Lucky for you guys, I'm even better at riddles than I am at puzzles. Haha. "Feed me and I grow, always hungry. Give me something to drink and I die, always angry".
Kai
That sounds like it could be Fire. These symbols must be the possible answers! Look, there's a tiny flame!
Careful. One wrong answer could break down the rest of Zane's security system.
Lightning bolt, drop of Water, Smoke— Ew! Is that a foot?
The foot symbol denotes Speed. This appears to be a puzzle about the Elemental Masters.
Kai
Some of those aren't even on this puzzle! The answer is Fire, guys. Fire!
Kai's impatience gives me an idea. Perhaps we should consider the Elemental Masters as a whole rather than as individuals. What did they desire? What did they accomplish?
Kai
How is that—
Well, they ended the Serpentine War, and they stopped Krux and Acronix from taking over the world.
They gave their powers to the next generation of Elemental Masters.
That's right. We're the Elemental Masters now. And you know what I just realized? "Feed me and I grow, always hungry." But we all like to eat. "Give me something to drink and I die, always angry." But only one of us is angry all the time and can't swim. [realizes] It's Kai. The answer must be Fire!
Kai
Wha— That— What?
I have been running logic scenarios since we began the puzzle, and Fire is a 99.9 percent match.
Kai
What?
That's three votes for Fire. Me, Jay, and Zane.
Kai
What!? Ugh!
We did it! The answer was Fire.
Kai
The answer was never not Fire!
I just wanted to be sure.
[Zane and Kai are fighting the Mechanic]
Zane, Master Lloyd requires Kai and your attention in Ninjago City.
It appears so. Did I catch you at a bad time?
Kai
Zane, a little help?
MMechanic
Hot off the press. The Mechanic is back, Ninjago.
Kai
Ugh, whoever said "Fight fire with fire" didn't know what they're talking about.
We will be there shortly.
MMechanic
Watch out for the crossfire!
Kai
Hey! You're stealing my lines!
[freezes the Mechanic] Who likes ice cream? I do! How was that for a last line, Kai? Can we leave now?
Kai
[also frozen] Needs a little work. Gonna have to give me a minute to thaw though. Heh.
[The ninja meet up]
Kai
[sees Lloyd] Hey, there he is. You're late.
Kai was late too, if it is any consolation.
Thanks for meeting me here. It's been a while since we've all been under one roof. [Nya giggles and Cole nudges Jay] What?
Are we gonna talk about it?
Kai
Sounds like our little ninja's growing up.
I don't like this one bit. If the Royal Family likes their privacy, why give such a public speech?
I think it's nice. They're reaching out to the people.
Kai
Why all the hate, sis? You just don't like getting gussied up.
All that gold and glitter is for show. The Royal Family are figure heads. They don't have any real power, what purpose do they have?
Their purpose is to be protected, as do all of our traditions. I believe Master Lloyd has spotted something of interest.
[They see Lloyd staring at the Princess]
Kai
Looks like he's got an eye for the Princess.
I guess green is her favorite color.
You do know I can hear you, right?
[The baby starts crying]
Maybe he's thirsty. Give him some milk.
I tried. He doesn't like milk.
What else do babies drink?
Kai
Don't ask me, ask him.
He's a baby! He hasn't learned how to talk yet.
Oh, maybe he needs a diaper change.
Oh, my gosh, do we even have diapers?
Why would we have diapers? We're ninja.
Ooh, maybe we can use one of our hoods instead.
Kai
Not my hood.
We'll draw straws. Loser gives up their hood.
[singing to the baby] The spider's in the house, sleep sleep. The spider bit the mouse, sleep deep. Don't wake up or else you'll find a spider in your mouth.
[The baby stops crying and falls asleep]
Wow, you're really good at that.
Nah, he's just tired. Too much excitement. He'll go to sleep now.
