Cole quotes from Ninjago

Jay

[trying to get venom from the Tiger Widow] HOW DO I GET VENOM WHEN HIS FANGS ONLY COME OUT WHEN HE TRIES TO BITE ME?!

Then let him bite you!

Jay

IF I GET OUT OF HERE, I'M GONNA BITE YOU!

You okay? Did you see any land?

Lloyd

Just water. I tried to reach the mainland, but it's too far. We won't be able to get off this island on our own.

Nya

What's so funny about our predicament?

Oh, I was just thinking about what Jay might say to that. [raises his voice to sound like Jay] "YOU'RE TELLING ME WE WENT THROUGH ALL THAT TROUBLE TO GET THE VENOM TO STOP NADAKHAN, AND NOW WE HAVE NO WAY TO GET OFF THIS ISLAND?!" [normal voice] Heh, gone one day and I already miss him spazzing out.

Nya

Me too. After he lied to us, I was so hard on him. And now he's captured and all alone. Some friends we are.

Lloyd

Hey, Jay's strong. We'll get him back. It's like what Wu once told me, if you want something bad enough, you find a way to make it happen.

He's right. If we can't fly off this island, we'll build our way. I've seen enough movies to know it's possible.

Lloyd

And if we've built a rocket off an asteroid, what's one raft a little—

Nya

Across an endless sea filled with unknown creatures that wanna eat us?! Uh, that was my Jay impression. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get building.

Lloyd

One more round of palm ties, and I'd say she's secure enough for sea.

Nya

Why is it all sea vessels are shes?

I don't know, because it takes a lot of paint to make them look good?

Lloyd

Oh. [turns his laughter into coughing]

I kid, I kid. Lighten up, water lily.

Nya

I get it. My personal mission to rid the world of its prejudices is wearing thin.

He banished them right before our eyes!

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.

Maybe it's best if we keep our distance.

Kai

But that's my sister he's got.

Lloyd

Kai's right, we have to do something. But what?

Jay

[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.

Jay

Thanks to Clancee, it's right here.

And you still have your wish.

Jay

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.

Lloyd

It only made him stronger.

Jay

Right, but if we really want something, don't wish it to happen, make it happen.

But how are we gonna get close?

Jay

Maybe one of us doesn't have to get close.

Me?

Jay

You can take the shot from far away. Once he's weakened, we'll do the rest.

But I can't even shoot water in an ocean.

Jay

According to Nadakhan. But he never held the real power, we did.

Kai

I don't follow.

Jay

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.

That's true.

Jay

And how did he manage to capture the greatest ninja this world has ever seen?

Lloyd

We all wished ourselves away. He's right, it's worth a shot, Flintlocke.

Jay

[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.

Lloyd

[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.

Jay

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?"

Jay

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?

Oh, I'm working on it.

Nya

[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.

Zane

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.

Nya

It's just an expression, Zane.

Kai

[staring at a familiar painting] I... I don't believe it.

Nya

What is that?

Kai

I think it's a portrait of... our parents.

Nya

[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.

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.

Nya

They left us our powers.

Lloyd

Look at them, my father and my uncle, Ninjago's two greatest Elemental Masters. I wonder if I'll ever live up to their legacy.

Jay

First Kai and Nya, now Lloyd. It's family picture day at the museum.

Does anyone recognize this battle?

Zane

P.I.X.A.L., analyze.

Facial contour mapping indicates this scene takes place 40 years ago during the Serpentine Wars.

During the Serpentine Wars? But Ninjago was at peace. Who would they be fighting?

Um, weren't we just outside? When did we get here?

Nya

How did we get here?

Zane

My circuits are picking up an energy displacement.

Kai

There was a displacement, all right. It displaced us right in here.

Lloyd

What is going on?

Jay

[covering his ears from the alarm] I don't know, but it's loud!

Zane

I'm trying to pinpoint the location.

Jay

[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.

Zane

Hm, this is surprising.

Jay

No, it's not. I've always had sensitive ears and—

Zane

I meant, I think I know how we suddenly appeared on the Destiny's Bounty.

How?

Zane

The displacement we experienced was not caused by just any normal energy, it was temporal energy.

Jay

Oh, well, temporal energy, of course. Everyone knows that's, um... powerful.

Kai

You have no idea what temporal means, do you?

Jay

I do not.

Lloyd

It means time.

Zane

Precisely. Whatever created that displacement can warp the very fabric of space-time.

Jay

Which is powerful, right?

Zane

Very. All the normal rules of existence no longer apply to such a force.

Jay

[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?

Zane

That was Acronix?

Kai

From the painting?

Lloyd

Twins look alike!

Nya

Or was it Krux?

Zane

Is he from the future?

Kai

How did he speed up time like that?

Was he from the past?

Jay

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.

Nya

But Dr. Saunders said the Hands of Time were a myth.

Zane

History is art, not science. Even an expert such as Dr. Saunders can be mistaken from time to time.

Jay

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.

Lloyd

Hm, the temple still needs unpacking.

[sighs] Lloyd's right.

Jay

Ugh, kinda wish we hadn't busted him. [to Nya] Hey, Nya. Wanna hang out?

Jay

Looks like somebody wants to play. Wish we had the rest of the team here to help.

Well, say hello to our newest members: Lefty and Righty. [uses his Earth Punch but can't control it] Oops. Wow, if I'm not more careful, I can take all of us out.

Jay

Lefty, Righty, nice to meet you. Also, DO BETTER!

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.

Jay

You know, my theory—

For the last time, they are not hostages.

Jay

How can you be sure?

No ransom note.

Jay

Maybe they're gonna hypnotize them into being an army?

Krux and Acronix already have an army, of Samurai snakes.

Jay

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.

Lloyd

That plan won't work.

Kai

Why not?

Lloyd

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?

Lloyd

Uh, that's not exactly true. With Wu out of commission, the, um...logical successor would be, uh...

The Green Ninja.

Lloyd

Correct.

Uh, Master Lloyd?

Kai

"Temporary Master Lloyd", you mean.

Jay

"...in Training".

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?

Lloyd

Wrong. Too random. We need a plan.

Kai

We have one: go kick some butt.

Lloyd

Really? Whose butt? Where?

Kai

We'll work it out down there.

Lloyd

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.

Zane

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.

Zane

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.

Lloyd

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.

Nya

I'm sure he has a good reason.

Kai

Well, I'm glad you're sure.

Whoa, amazing.

Zane

It is unlike anything I have ever seen.

Jay

So cool.

Zane

I must urge caution, Jay. The Time Blade is a powerful weapon.

Jay

Uh, you think I don't know that? Check this. [throws the blade at a stack of boxes] Boom! Ha! Eight bull's eyes in a row. Beat that.

I did.

Jay

Oh, really? When?

When I got nine in a row.

Jay

Okay, yeah, if you wanna count that.

But watch this. [throws a box in the air and and blasts it with the Time Blade]

Jay

Haha! You missed!

Did I? Slow-moving target. Easy peasy, lemon. [jumps and slices the box] And that's how you recycle an empty box.

Zane

[sees that the box is not empty] That box was not empty.

Jay

[sees a ruined stuffed teddy bear, screams in shock, and picks it up] Mr. Cuddlywomp… uh, is a teddy bear I used to love when I was five, but now he's totally lame and—

We know you still sleep with him.

Jay

And I don't care who knows it! [hugs his toy sadly] Mr. Cuddlywomp…

One question: How are we supposed to get to the museum? Our vehicles got trashed by the snakes.

Lloyd

Uh, we have the Supersonic Raider Jet.

Jay

Uh, actually, hehe, my dad's still kind of working on that. We can take the Lightning Bike.

Nya

Kai and I have our old bikes.

Lloyd

What about me and Zane?

Misako

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?

You trapped Jay inside Zane's head?

Nya

Don't be dramatic. I merely digitized Jay's mind and uploaded him into the processing center of Zane's memory core.

You just took what I said and added a bunch of big words. Sounds like you want me to possess Zane. Like— Like a ghost.

Nya

Not a ghost. Your body will be resting comfortably in a Borg reclining terminal until you get back.

I still don't like it, but I'll do it for Zane. Let's go!
