JJJet Jack
What do you think you're doing?
Uh, nothing? [Jet Jack holds up her weapon] They are going to eat us!
[The Ninja all scream. Jet Jack cuts him down, and the others scream as they are also cut down]
CCole
Ow. Ugh. Ever heard of stairs?
FFaith
I don't know if I should thank you, Jet Jack, or prepare to fight.
Or if you're going to eat us, eat him first. [points to Cole] He's filled with cake!
CCole
[stutters] A-am not!
[The ninja try to chain the Colossus down]
He's too considerable to take down.
And he's got good reflexes!
CCole
Guys, I'm nearly out of chain.
Even if we had more, it's not thick enough to stop it.
Then perhaps next time we should use thicker chains.
CCole
There ain't gonna be a next time!
And Zane's the smart one.
No, he's onto something. Look at all that chain. If we can use it, we could lock it down.
CCole
And who of us is stupid enough to jump on that thing?
Cole, say no more. [jumps on the Colossus]
CCole
That's my last one. Make it count!
So, did you pop the question yet?
No, I'm waiting for the right time.
There may not be a right time, Jay. You gotta just do it.
CCole
[pops up around the corner] Do what?
Jay's gonna ask Nya to be his Yang.
CCole
What?! Seriously?! That's great! Why am I always the last person to know these things?
Shh! Will you keep your voice down, please?
He's been planning it for weeks.
CCole
Weeks? Haha! You gotta just do it, Jay. It's like ripping off an old bandage. The sooner you get over it, the better.
Um, did you just compare Nya to an old bandage?
Nice. Way to go, Cole. Way to take the romance out of it.
The Oni entered this realm through a portal or rift between our world and theirs. There are only one or two ways this is possible. And, I'm willing to wager, it would've been through the Realm Crystal. To stop this darkness from spreading, the crystal must be destroyed.
The Realm Crystal is currently housed in the new high-security vault, below Borg Tower.
That's smack in the middle of Ninjago City!
Uh, we just escaped from there, remember? It's engulfed in a giant, black cloud of destruction, and now you're asking us to turn around and go back?
I asked nothing. I am telling you that if you wish to stop the darkness, the crystal must be destroyed.
CCole
And I'm telling you, forget it! Just one of those black cloud tentacle things touched my foot for a second, and nearly froze me solid! We wouldn't last a minute inside the darkness.
That is correct. You are merely human. I, however, am Oni. I can enter the darkness, make my way to the crystal, and destroy it. I will, of course, require a weapon.
Do you really expect us to just hand you a sword and let you go?
If you wish to live, yes.
Well, forget it! No way! I wouldn't trust you with a… a… a-
A pillow! [Cole, Jay, Nya and Lloyd look at him disapprovingly] It's the most harmless thing I could think of.
[The mountain rumbles, and Nya, Lloyd, Master Wu, and the Oni turn to see the Earth Driller bursting out]
CCole
[jumps out] Hey, guys! Couldn't wait for me, huh?
Th-Th-Th— We thought we'd lost you—y-you, jerk!
CCole
You can't get rid of me that easily.
[The ninja are relaxing in a hot tub]
Kai, a little heat, please.
[He summons a flame and sticks it in the water. The ninja laugh and sigh]
CCole
[slurps from his guzzler hat] Ah, this is the life!
We heard it, pal. Fighting all those bad guys, saving Ninjago.
[They look up as a crash is heard]
I can't believe we're back to this.
After every big victory, you get lazy, complacent, careless.
CCole
We're recovering. We're resting our muscles.
I am! Look at yourselves! You've gone soft. You do nothing all day but play video games, and eat cake, and soak in this... this...
CCole
[looks around the water] Hot tub?
[enraged] IT'S NOT A HOT TUB! It's the sacred Bell of Divinity! Out! Out! All of you! [the ninja all complain at once] Emergency meeting in the monastery, in three minutes!
[At nightfall, the ninja are sitting around a fire]
I see only one option: The digestive system of a beetle is very slow. There is a good chance the Thermolytic Inverter is still intact inside Beohernie's stomach.
If one of us were to be ingested, we might be able to retrieve the device.
If we can get inside Beohernie's stomach—
…We should in theory be able to retrieve the Inverter and exit again. Either through the creature's mouth or through the other end of the digestive—
[shakes his head vigorously] Lalalalalala, I don't wanna hear this!
CCole
Yeah, of all the bad ideas I've heard, and I've heard a few… Lookin' at you, Kai, this takes the cake!
The facts are indisputable. We need the Inverter. The Inverter is inside the beetle. Ergo, one of us must enter the beetle and retrieve it.
Don't tell me you're considering this!
I'm open to other suggestions if anyone has one.
How do we decide? Who gets to... you know, be—
It was my idea. The responsibility is mine.
No, I'm the responsible one.
Guys, guys, you're both too valuable to risk. It should be someone expendable, like Jay.
CCole
Well, look who's talking!
[Kai, Nya, Jay, and Cole start arguing]
Guys, guys! We're going to settle this like adults.
Actually... I'm sitting this one out.
Aspheera stole my powers, remember? I can't help! I mean, Jay had to save me just now. Jay!
Huh, that's a weird way of saying thanks.
Just go without me. I'll only get in your way.
[puts a hand on Kai's shoulder] Powers don't make a hero.
Dude, that's just something that people with powers say to make people without powers feel better.
That's not true! We need you.
[Fireballs start falling]
We don't have time to argue! The people in that museum need help!
CCole
She's right! We gotta go!
[to Kai] If you change your mind, you'll know where we'll be.
[Cole is telling the story of how Aspheera banished Zane to the Never-Realm, using his paper drawings on sticks, to some children in the Great Lake]
CCole
[as Zane] Put down the staff and surrender, Aspheera. Your days of evil are over. [as Aspheera] Never! I will have my revenge if it's the last thing I do! [a child gasps in fear] Take that, Wu! Zap! Zap! [drops Wu's stick; as Zane] No! Look out, Master Wu! [as Aspheera] Zap! Zap! Ahh! [clashes Zane and Aspheera's sticks until Zane's stick snaps in half] Oh, no! [picks up Nya's stick] Zane is gone! [puts down Nya's stick and picks up his stick] What did you do to my friend? [as Aspheera, cackling. The children cower together as the story gets more intense] Take that! I banished him to the one place from which you can never return. The Never-Realm! [one of the children faints while the rest start crying and run away] Wait! W-W-W-Woah! Hey! Wait, it's okay, look, it's not real, it's just a story! [waves Aspheera's stick and it snaps in half; he chases after the children, while Kai, Nya, and Jay are working outside] It's just paper! I drew them!
What did you tell them, Cole?
CCole
Nothing! I was just telling them about Zane and Aspheera, and how she blasted him into the Never-Realm.
You think that story is appropriate for little kids?
CCole
Five to thirteen? Absolutely.
CCole
[wakes up and falls out of bed] Whoa- Ahh!
It's okay, buddy! You're okay!
CCole
I can't believe you did that! You made me go back to the Bounty for the Traveler's Tea, and it fell off a cliff!
Cole, relax, buddy. It was just a nightmare.
CCole
[turns to Kai] And you! You were even worse! You said I let you down! [Kai stares at him in astonishment] Well, it was a mistake, okay?! Sometimes things just happen!
Hey, hey, we understand. It's okay.
CCole
Yeah, right. That's not what you said in my dream!
[Glaring at them, he leaves, slamming the door]
[sighs] It's too early for this.
Maybe we should go after him?
No way! Do you know what this is?! It's Prime Empire!
Look at it! It says Prime Empire right on the side! [gasps] It's real!
Excuse me, can you two pretend that we're not all video game nerds and tell the rest of us what Prime Empire is?
Oh, it's this legendary game created by the most famous game designer ever! Milton Dyer. But for some reason, it was never finished and they abandoned it. [plugs in the plug and presses a button]
CCole
Well, that was exciting.
Can't have been that good if they never released it.
I find old games to be unchallenging.
Yeah, I like new ones, where they really make you feel like you're there.
[Kai respawns]
See? "Re-spawn" is my new favorite word. Whoo-hoo!
CCole
Uh, I don't know if that's really smart. In games-
Whatever, Cole. You're just annoyed that as the team's gaming guru, you weren't the one who figured this out!
Huh, I love this infinite-lives-thing!
Infinite? Who told you that? You get four lives in Prime Empire. And looks like you've used three.
[gasps] What? What? Why didn't anyone tell me this?
CCole
I tried, but you wouldn't listen.
Oh, sure, blame the victim!
RRichie
[chuckles] I am of the Brotherhood of Rats! And I am sworn to silence! Do your worst! You'll get nothing outta me! NOTHING!
So you're working for Unagami?
RRichie
You're trying to trick me into telling you that Unagami ordered us to ambush you! Well, it won't work!
CCole
Yeah, he's not the brightest, is he?
