[sees a Strangle Weed creeping up to Cole's ankle; speaking backwards] Watch out! The Strangle Weed! Cole!
CCole
What's wrong with him?
I don't know. I think he's talking backwards. Slow down! We can't understand you!
[speaking backwards] Strangle Weed! Strangle Weed!
CCole
AH! STRANGLE WEED! IT'S GOT ME!
[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]
[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]
CCole
Sorry, Zane, you tried to lead, but I guess it just didn't work out.
[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.
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!
CCole
Jay, we're ninja, not thieves!
Yeah, but we're stealing from a thief. Haven't you ever heard, two wrongs make a right?
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!
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]
CCole
Second chances? What did he mean by that?
We may have lost out on the Scroll, but he thinks there may be another way to learn Airjitzu.
CCole
We're still gonna fly?
[speaking backwards] This is great news.
CCole
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?
I sort of gave him... my shares of the tea farm... along with all of yours.
[speaking backwards] That's horrible news!
I did what I had to, and for Lloyd, I'd do it again.
CCole
You're right. But I have to ask, if Morro has the only Scroll, just how are we gonna learn Airjitzu?
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!
CCole
Ah, sorry about my loud friend. He's a little hard of hearing.
PPatty
Known for his un- [clears throat] -usual teaching methods ...
[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!
[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]
CCole
Why would you touch the scary picture, Jay?!
I didn't know it would do that, Cole!
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.
CCole
Tell us where it is.
NNobu
The tallest tower. But you must hurry, they're already headed there.
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.
CCole
Yeah, can't believe we're almost there after all we've been through.
I can't believe I'm underwater.
CCole
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?
[After no more traps are active, the ninja are each standing on a tile]
I can make it. It's just a hop, skip, and a jump. [tries to use Airjitzu, but the tiles under him fall; crawls back]
CCole
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?!
[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.
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.
CCole
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!
CCole
Ah, Minidroid Chess. So what's the tally now? A hundred games to none? [laughs]
Set them up, Zane. We're going again. [to Cole] What's got you so cheery?
CCole
Remember back in the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master, when we all saw the reflection of our future selves?
You mean when you couldn't see anything?
CCole
Yeah, it wasn't because I'm a goner, it's because I can disappear!
Oh, then why don't you make like a ghost and vanish? I need full concentration.
CCole
Oh, touchy, are we? Teach him a lesson, Zane. [laughs and walks away, whistling]
[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.
CCole
[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?
[on his phone] Reply. Of course I'm at the hospital. My hair is sick. Haha. Send.
Are you sending out a Chirp?
Uh, my followers have needs too.
[Cole and Jay arrive at Mega Monster Amusement Park]
CCole
Looks like Mega Monster Amusement Park shut down after it became a crime scene. Come on, let's go check out the roller coaster. That's where Zane was framed.
Ah, this place gives me so many fond memories. [gasps] It's here I found my True Potential. Oh, and over there is where Nya and I went on our first date. I bet one day she and I will laugh about all this. [laughs, then sees Cole staring at him] Uh, I mean, why would she laugh at that? She hates me. It's not like I'd expect anything to suddenly change between her and I. Where is that roller coaster?
CCole
The only thing this place gives me is the creeps. Let's not stick around any longer than we need to. [sees the roller coaster] There it is. Just what kind of clues are we looking for? It's not like there are any witnesses around to tell us what they saw.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.
[He uses his powers to turn on some monitors]
CCole
Ha, it's practically a visual timeline of the events that day. Jay, you're a genius.
Like I said, it's where I found my True Potential.
CCole
[sees Nadakhan in one of the pictures] There, that's our guy.
These pictures were taken seconds after each other.
CCole
That means that guy is Zane.
[gasps in realization] You mean—
CCole
The Djinn can shape-shift. He could be anybody! [Jay passes his hand through him] Seriously?
[Dareth visits the ninja at Kryptarium Prison]
CCole
What are you doing to get us out of here!?
This is no place for a Nindroid!
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.
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.
CCole
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.
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]
[The ninja are crossing a bridge]
The Tiger Widow's den should be just up ahead. Watch your step.
CCole
You don't have to tell me twice.
[sighs] Just how am I supposed to extract this dangerous venom? Can I ask it nicely?
Well, maybe if Zane hadn't been captured, we would have a Nindroid around to tell you.
Ooh, that's a low blow. I mean, do we know anything about this Tiger Widow, other than it was named to strike terror in the hearts of men?
CCole
Zane told me it's the last of its species. So it sounds like you've only got one chance at this. But I'm sure you'll be just fine— What are you doing now?
[on what seems to be a hammock] Resting my feet on this hammock. We've been walking for miles. If I have to face this thing alone, I'm gonna need to be well-rested.
Jay, I don't think that's a hammock.
[notices he's on a giant spider web with a skeleton on it] Aah! Get it off me! Aah! Get it off of me! Get it off of me! [gets out and spits out the webbing]
[groans] Haven't I suffered enough?
NCNya, Cole and Lloyd
No!
