[trying to talk to one of Yang's students] So I didn't get your name. Okay, I'll just call you Chuck. Look, Chuck, I know you think you're Yang's student, and maybe you were once, but now you're his prisoner. Don't you see? He's not your friend, he's your captor. You gotta shake off his spell. Then, we can stop him, together, you and me. [Chuck doesn't talk] Okay, no pressure, but you have three seconds to decide. One, two, three. [jumps and kicks Chuck] Guess I'm working solo, Chuck.
[The ninja are preparing for another Dragon race]
Why must we go through this again? I'm clearly the best. I mean, look at me!
Impressive, thunder cracker, but may I remind you we all have dragon suits. So what's your point?
CCole
Jay's only point is that he won last time, so obviously he thinks he'll hold the title of Dragon Master forever.
This is highly irrational. We should be training. If Sensei finds out—
Well, technically, riding your dragon is kind of training.
[The episode begins at the Monastery of Spinjitzu with Wu meditating. He overhears the Ninja making combat sounds]
[off-screen] Fire strike! Oh, my gosh, is that the greatest move you've ever seen?
CCole
[off-screen] Stop trying to do it yourself. We need to attack as a team.
[Wu goes to the training compound and finds that none of the Ninja are training there]
Zane, why are you wasting your special attack on me? You have to save it. [Wu goes to look for them in a different room and finds them playing video games] Fantastic! I'm out of lives!
But the lesson lives on, and I am getting the hang of it. Hee-yah!
[As the Ninja continue with their game, Wu unplugs the television. The ninja groan]
CCole
It took us three hours to get there.
Why would you do that? Why?!
Just because Lord Garmadon escaped through a vortex doesn't mean he won't return one day for the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu!
But Sensei Wu, ever since he's been gone, Ninjago has had nothing but peace.
Yeah. Peace is boring. There's no one to save. There's nothing to do.
CCole
We can train tomorrow.
Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today.
CCole
Well, I was gonna eat this pizza tomorrow. So if that's the case… [Wu kicks the pizza slice out of his hand] OW!
NO PIZZA FOR YOU! In order to reach your True Potential, YOU MUST TRAIN!
Uh, remember when we did a little thing called the Tornado of Creation? I thought that was pretty insane.
[sighs] You four have merely scratched the surface of your full potential. There are still so many secrets you have yet to unlock. You haven't even begun to tap into what powers your Golden Weapons hold. [Kai's sword is shown to be burning a pizza slice]
CCole
You wanna talk secret powers? Check this out. [uses his scythe to plug back the television so that the Ninja can resume their game]
Don't worry, master. We will be ready when Lord Garmadon returns.
[Nya runs into the room]
Guys! Lord Garmadon! He's returned! He was spotted approaching Jamanakai Village!
[The ninja struggle to prepare for the mission, Nya gives Jay his nunchucks]
Uh, thanks, uh, uh, uh...
[The Ninja rush to the dragon stables to mount their dragons, but are unfortunately not as fit as they think they are. One of the stall doors hits Zane's head. Cole drops his weapon when mounting on his dragon. Jay attempts a stunt to mount his dragon, but overshoots it a little, landing on the ground instead]
[watches Kai mount his dragon] Uh, can I help?
Sorry, sis. Where we go, danger abounds. This is a job for the Ninja. [fails to reach his dragon's reins] Uh, uh... a little help? [laughs nervously]
[Nya shakes her head and hands him the reins, the ninja then proceed to fly off to Jamanakai Village on their dragons]
Will they ever reach their full potential?
In time. Maybe a long time, but in time.
[The ninja mount on their dragons when Kai accidentally drops a scroll]
[notices the scroll] Huh? I don't remember putting this here.
That Sensei's bag. You must've accidentally taken it in the rush.
I know it's a scroll, but what does it say? It's written in chicken scratch.
Not chicken scratch, the ancient language of our ancestors.
Well, I can try. [points to a symbol on the scroll] This symbol means "prophecy".
It means it tells the future.
Of course, ha-ha. I knew that.
[reading the scroll] "One ninja will rise above the others and become the Green Ninja, the ninja destined to defeat the Dark Lord".
Dark Lord? Hold on... you think they mean Lord Garmadon? Wait a minute, is that us? Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?
Like how good I'm gonna look in green?
Ha, isn't it obvious I'm gonna be the Green Ninja?
The color obviously suits me!
Technically, I am the best.
CCole
Everyone, stop it! Remember why Sensei brought us together in the first place. We're a team. We weren't meant to see this and probably for good reason. Come on, let's head back home. We have training to do.
It's about time I added some finesse to my routine.
Well, I could use some exercise.
CCole
Yeah, I gotta work on some new moves.
[The ninja except Kai head home]
[to himself] Could I be the Green Ninja?
[At the Monastery of Spinjitzu, Wu is meditating. He hears the ninja arguing offscreen]
CCole
Oh, you want a little more? Take this!
Yeah? How about a little of this?
[Wu goes to the video game room only to find that none of the ninja are there]
[Wu goes to the training compound and is surprised to see the ninja are actually training. Jay is deflecting arrows with his nunchucks, Cole is practicing on the dummies, Kai is practicing his Spinjitzu and Zane is meditating]
[Zane suddenly gets up from his meditation process and jumps in front of Jay]
[Zane steals Cole's Scythe for the dummy test]
[His Spinjitzu freezes the whole compound]
[slips] Woah. [falls] Oof.
[Kai, Jay and Cole regroup]
This roof isn't big enough for the four of us.
CCole
Correction: This roof isn't big enough for him.
It's like he's in his own world. [raises his voice] I BET HE CAN’T EVEN HEAR US!
[Wu approaches the three ninja]
What is weird? Someone who is different or someone who is different than you?
CCole
No, Sensei. He's "weird" weird.
[Flashback. Zane enters the bathroom where Cole is doing some private business]
CCole
[embarrassed] Do you mind?!
[Flashback again. Jay, Nya, and Zane watching a sad romantic movie. Zane starts laughing. Flashback again. Kai is going to the fridge, only to find Zane inside]
I'm sorry. I consumed the last of the deli meat. Cheese?
[Flashbacks end, back to present]
We like the guy. He's really smart. He's just... [sighs] a little off sometimes.
Zane is a brother and brothers are often different. I should know.
[When the ninja return to the Monastery, they see it burnt down, covered in flames]
We're too late. Those snakes.
[The Dragons cry for help]
[He quickly releases the Dragons for them to gain some fresh air]
[Shard freezes the flames]
The training equipment, gone.
They stole their staff back.
[Kai's sadness turns to anger as he turns to Zane]
If you hadn't followed that silly bird, none of this would've happened!
No, Sensei, he's right! [to Zane; sharply] Because of you, my high score has been deleted!
This is a teaching moment. We must learn from this.
CCole
A teaching moment?! What's wrong with you?! Don't you get it?! EVERYTHING IS GONE!
Enough! [Kai, Cole and Jay turn to look at him] We're all at fault. Zane is your brother. Apologize at once.
[On the Destiny's Bounty, the ninja are sleeping]
[banging a gong, waking the ninja up] Evil doesn't sleep and neither should you! [the ninja groan as they wake up] In order to reach your full potential, we must greet each day as an opportunity.
[gets up] Okay, okay, we're up. But if you want us to reach full potential, shouldn't we at least get a full night of rest?
CCole
You call that a rest? I think my back has more lumps than the mattress.
We were up so late, talking about how cool it is to have a new headquarters, I guess we lost track of time. Since the Serpentine burned down our monastery, I'm just glad we have a roof over our head.
What is our lesson today, Sensei? Mastering the strike of the Scorpion? Or perhaps the grace of— [the ground breaks and he coughs]
I think today's lesson would be chores.
CCole
Ninja fight, Sensei. They do not clean.
In order to respect ourselves, we must respect our new home and where we are from. And this place is a long way from becoming a ninja headquarters. I expect things to be spotless when I return. And put your backs into it.
[Zane wakes up, hitting his head on the top bunk of the bed]
Oh, sleeping in. You're gonna be late for training.
Oh, how come no one awakened me?
We didn't think you wanted us to. You looked like you were having some dream.
How do I know this isn't a dream—
CCole
[hits Zane in the face with a pillow] Does that feel like a dream?
No. Thank you for your help.
[The others laugh]
What was so important to ignore my teachings?
CCole
Yeah, we don't talk while you teach.
Everyone was paying attention.
Since you all appear to be lacking in focus, then you can all share in the punishment.
I was merely answering their questions.
No free time and no video games. The rest of the day can be used for training. And tomorrow, for that matter.
Until you can answer this simple riddle: what is the best way to defeat an enemy?
[sighs] Pace yourselves. You have a lot of training ahead of you. Make sure you sharpen your mind as well as your Spinjitzu. [walks away]
CCole
Ugh. What's the best way to defeat an enemy? It could be anything, ugh!
Come on, guys, we're smart. We can figure this out.
Yeah, but let's hear more about this dream.
Let me just say, the Green Ninja is awesome.
[On the Bounty, the ninja tell Wu they solved his riddle]
Oh. You must have found the answer to what is the best way to defeat an enemy.
CCole
We have, Sensei. It's— On three, guys. One, two...
Is this what you all think?
Sadly, you are all wrong.
[Kai groans]
CCole
I'm starting to think whoever figures out this riddle can be the Green Ninja for all I care.
[to Cole] You couldn't just be happy with the top score, you had to rub it in my face!
CCole
[to Jay] Do you know how long it took me to make that?! Three days. Three days!
[to Zane] It's an unsaid law, okay? You don't touch a man's robot!
[to Kai] How am I supposed to strike fear in this? [shows that his ninja suit has dyed pink] IT'S PINK!
[As the ninja argue with each other, Wu enters, sees them and opens the bathroom door to reveal Lloyd; He laughs sinisterly. The ninja stop arguing and see some spices, tools and detergent]
KCKai, Cole, Jay, and Zane
[gasp] You did this?!
CCole
Boys, I get first dibs on…
No dibs. I put him up to this for today's lesson. I wanted to show you the destructive power of rumors and that jumping to conclusions can only lead to trouble. Did you ever think to find out if the accusations were true?
CCole
Uh, no offense, Sensei, but let me jump to this conclusion: today's lesson is lame.
Yeah, why can't you just teach us to paralyze your enemy with one finger, or find out if a man is lying by the twitch of his nose?
Because not all lessons are about fighting! And I… misplaced my lesson book.
[Kai sees a book sticking out of Lloyd's back pocket and takes it]
You mean this lesson book?
It was the perfect plan, until you had to show up and mess everything up and-
[Cole closes the door on him]
[over the speaker] If you're done fooling around, I could use you guys on the bridge. We do still have a snake problem to attend to. Over and out!
It's one thing to let the son of your nemesis live with you, but having my sister here? I mean, come on! I thought this was a NINJA headquarters!
You do know I can hear you. Over and out!
CCole
You know, whether it was in a lesson book or not, we used the destructive power of rumors to our advantage.
And now the Serpentine are further away than ever from getting their act together.
You know, I don't think we would've gotten out of there if it hadn't been for Zane.
Don't thank me, thank Lloyd. If it hadn't been for his "laundry skills," we all would've been found.
[Everyone laughs. Lloyd comes in with Zane's ninja suit, which is now white again]
Well, it took me twenty loads, but your suit's no longer pink. [to Cole] And to show that I'm sorry, Cole, I got you a can of nuts.
CCole
Uh, haha, yeah. Don't think I don't see what this is. When I open this, a bunch of snakes are gonna pop out, right? Yeah, no thank you.
[Cole opens the fridge, only for fake snakes to pop out at him. Everyone laughs]
