You okay? [Zane sighs and looks at the blueprint] Hey, what...
[Zane opens his chest to reveal a control panel, making the others scream in shock]
ZaneAll this time, and I never knew.
Uh, guess this explains why you're always acting so weird. Right?
Zane
The reason I never had a sense of humor was because my funny switch wasn't on. [turns on his funny switch and starts dancing and singing] Hello, my baby, hello, my honey, hello, my ragtime gal, send me a kiss by wire.
[Jay laughs as Zane turns off his funny switch and sighs sadly]
Uh, it just makes you more special. You're still the same Zane. Just more, uh… gears.
No matter what you're made of, you're still our brother.
Zane
Really?
In fact, I bet it even makes you an even better ninja.
Yeah, and how cool is it that I can honestly say "My brother is a Nindroid"?
Zane
A Nindroid?
Zane
[to the Treehorn Queen] You will not hurt my friends! There is nothing that will hold me back! [starts to unlock his True Potential, turning light blue] I know who I am!
What's happening to him? Was he programmed to do that?
I've never seen a robot do that.
Zane's unlocked his True Potential.
[Zane uses his Ice to freeze the queen and falls to the ground]
Zane
What happened?
You should've seen yourself.
Heh, I've never seen anything like it.
Zane
This must be what Sensei meant by unlocking our hearts. I remember now. I remember everything. I remember my father and how he cared for me. I remember where I came from. And I feel stronger for knowing.
I'm so jealous. His powers are so cool.
We have our very own Nindroid.
[They all cheer]
Zane
Watch out, Pythor. We're coming to get you.
They got the first one, but there are three more, and we just need one to stop Pythor. They have a map, and we don't, so they question remains: how are we gonna find them first?
I still can't get over the fact that you were the mysterious Samurai. Is anyone else blown away like I am?
We're over that. Can we move on?
Someone's a little hot under the collar.
Zane
It appears his impatience is because he has not found inner peace and unlocked his full potential like you and I have, Jay.
Great observation, Mr. Roboto, but Cole hasn't found it either.
You've unlocked it!? Oh, why am I the only one!?
No, I figured out where I recognized the Fangblade from. I have a picture of it.
Oh, haha, is that it? Heh. Good.
LLou
Okay, from the top. Five, six, seven, eight. [plays some piano keys]
Shake it till you break it!
Zane
Move it till you lose it!
LLou
[stops playing] Stop, stop! Ugh. If my ears weren't attached to my head, they'd be running away! Kai, love the energy, hate the hair. [hits Kai on the head with his cane]
LLou
Jay, you're giving a lot, but I need more! Zane, you're like a machine. Don't change anything. And Cole, try to act like you wanna be here.
[whispering to Kai] He's worse than Sensei Wu!
Zane
I have butterflies in my stomach.
Aw, come on, that's just nerves.
Zane
No, I really do have butterflies. [releases literal butterflies from his panel]
Okay, glad he got that out of his system.
[wearing the Green Ninja suit] FIRE! Unlock Fire! Uh, Fire go! Shoot flames! Oh, come on, everyone else can do it. So can you. BRING HEAT!
[The other ninja see him and laugh]
Very nice. Perhaps if you tried the phrase "Fire dork," maybe it might work.
[removes the mask] How long have you all been watching?
The Green Ninja suit. That's awesome!
Well, I was looking for some kind of clue from Sensei and then I found this.
Zane
But you know only he who is foretold to face Lord Garmadon is destined to be the Green Ninja, and only he should wear the Green Ninja outfit. So Sensei would most likely be very—
I know, I know. But I thought if I just tried it on, it might help me see my True Potential. It's not fair that you guys have unlocked your cool powers and I still haven't.
Dad? Why do you have four arms?
[Everyone cheers]
Zane
But how did you survive? How did you discover the key to unlocking your powers?
I knew when I had to make a choice. I wanted the Fangblade so badly, to prove I was good enough to become the Green Ninja. But then I figured it out: all of my training to become the best ninja wasn't in preparation to become the Green Ninja. It was... to protect him.
[He looks at Lloyd while everyone else realizes what he means]
What? What is everybody looking at me for?
[She, Kai and Cole bring the weapons in front of Lloyd, and they react by levitating and emitting green lightning]
Lloyd is the Green Ninja. I had thought it would be one of you, but it was him the whole time. It all makes sense. Not only have you four been chosen to protect the Golden Weapons, but also to protect the Chosen One.
[realizes something] That means...
The battle lines have been drawn, brother. Sadly, our family has only become more divided. Brother versus brother, and now, son versus father.
Hehe, this is heavy and all, but whatever happened to the FANGBLADE?!
[In Ninjago City, Spitta is being chased by the ninja]
[The ninja surround him and hold him at weapon-point]
Thought you could joyride through town and not be noticed, eh? Where's the last Fangblade?
SSpitta
I don't know what you're talking about.
You know what it is. The fourth Fangblade. When Pythor finds them all, he plans to unleash the Great Devourer.
SSpitta
Oh, that Fangblade. Haha, you're too late. Pythor's already there now. He's probably already digging it up. If I were you, I'd start preparing for the worst, because when the Great Devourer is awakened, there will be nothing it won't consume!
Zane
Won't that mean it'll consume you too?
SSpitta
Ah! Please, you have to stop him. That snake is crazy. I don't wanna unleash the Great Devourer. I'm a snake, not food!
Is it really too late to stop Pythor from getting the last Fangblade?
SSpitta
You're days behind him. There's gotta be something else you can do!
Oh, that was too intense. All that action makes you so thirsty.
Zane
There's no time to rest. We need to warn people before it becomes bigger.
Bigger? Bigger!? That thing in one big bite crushed our entire ship! We need to save as many as we can. Uh, uh, we'll find some kind of refuge, somewhere safe to hide. Ooh, the Serpentine Tombs. Yeah, they're underground. Sure, we'll be without sunlight for months, but they're perfect.
You know as well as I do, we have no chance at stopping that thing!
Hey, stop it! Listen to yourselves. Is this what Sensei Wu would've wanted? Us fighting? Running and hiding? Giving up?
But he's not here anymore.
But his teachings live on. Sensei once told me it's not the size of a ninja in a fight, it's the size of the fight in the ninja. All this training, all of these battles we've had with skeletons and Serpentine. We've persevered through so much, we can't just give up now. A ninja never admits defeat, a ninja always picks himself up when he's down. Which is exactly what Sensei Wu would want us to do right now.
Zane
But how do we destroy a snake of that magnitude?
Yeah, it's not like we have an extra Sacred Flute lying around to charm it. Or wait, haha, how about one of our awesome Dragons? Oh, I forgot, they took off and left us high and dry. Or, hey, what about our Golden Weapons? Which will do nothing against a snake that size. Heh, oh, we are so hooped.
Ah, Jay's right, we would need a weapon so big.
Or an idea that's even bigger! Ha! Jay, you're a genius! You thinking what I'm thinking?
Probably not, but go ahead.
There's no time. I'll fill you guys in on the way.
We're going to destroy that snake once and for all.
[with his feet in water] My feet... I can't feel my feet.
[tired and battered] There was so many of them. And they wouldn't stop.
Zane
[putting oil in his gears] My gears locked up several times. I didn't even know my gears could lock up.
[groans] I don't even have enough energy to play video games.
Oh, but I thought you were going to train me when you got home.
Sorry, champ, but we can't until we make rent. How close are we, Jay?
[checks the jar] Is this jar getting bigger? We're not even close!
Zane
And our rent is due tomorrow.
I can pull a double shift.
Zane
And I can do overtime.
Maybe I can sling a few more pizza pies.
And maybe I can make a little extra if I do the human piñata… [the others stare at him] Ugh, don't ask.
Great, then our priorities are set. Tomorrow, we make rent.
How about you help out and fetch me some more ice, huh?
[As Kai is about to blow a balloon, he sees the police rushing to the bank]
Trouble? Sounds like they need me.
[He's about to leave, but the mom stops him]
MMother
Not so fast! I still have you for another hour.
Uh, but the bank, people are in danger!
MMother
Not until my son is done playing! [sees that Kai has now left, now holding the balloons] Huh! YOU'RE FIRED!
[Ninjago restaurant]
FFather
It's true, at the bank. I heard they stole all their money, and no one's doing anything about it!
Zane
[accidentally drops an egg on a child's head while distracted, causing him to start crying] Uh, uh, I'm sorry!
Zane
[his skin falls off] It must be my hard drive overheating... I mean, never mind. I'm going! [leaves]
[Kai and Zane reach the Ninjago bank]
[trying to convince the bank owner] I'll make it up to you, I swear.
BOBank Owner
Hmmm, no. Why don't you go home and get a good night's rest, and go ahead and sleep in. In fact, sleep in all day for all I care, BECAUSE YOU'RE FIRED!
[sighs in disappointment] Looks like we're all in the same boat.
That's okay, I hated that job anyway.
BCBizarro Cole
He's of no use to us anymore. [drops Brad, who then runs away]
Zane
My early assessment tells me this must be Garmadon's doing.
BZBizarro Zane
My early assessment tells me you will be destroyed.
NBNinja and Bizzaro Ninja
[start charging towards each other] NINJA, GO!
Uh, Dareth, what is this all about?
Well, I fell behind on some of my payments and some developer named "Darnagom Enterprises" is buying the entire block to put in some stupid frisbee-golf course. They say if I don't come up with 50,000 by tomorrow, the dojo is gone.
But we already lost the Bounty. We can't lose the dojo now.
[picks up his trophies] My trophies. Oh, my fake trophies! [sobs]
Zane
[notices something] Wait a minute, "Darnagom"? When you rearrange the letters, it spells—
Right. [laughs] That would make more sense.
Um, my dad is behind this?
If he destroys the dojo, where will we train Lloyd?
[to Wu] Any chance you got 50,000 in that teapot of yours?
Worry not, Dareth. You're not in this alone. We're all with you.
[Nya enters]
[gasps] You didn't happen to win the lottery?
No, but I heard about Ninjaball Run!
WDWu, Dareth and Ninja
Ninjaball Run?
It's the biggest road race in Ninjago, with a prize of 100,000 big ones. And it's tomorrow.
I thank you, little lady fighter, but you're talking about the most dangerous race known to man. Only the most serious of racers even stand a chance.
But didn't you just do a few upgrades on our Ultra Sonic Raider? Maybe we might stand a chance.
And I can enter with my Dragon. You did say I needed the practice.
So it is agreed. You will all enter this "Ninjaball Run" to save the dojo.
[notices Dareth crying] Are you still crying?
Yes, but these are happy tears.
I can't believe we couldn't catch up to them. I'm usually faster than that. It's as if my legs were half the size.
I don't remember that thing being so big. Did it grow?
Zane
Or did we shrink?
[sees something in a glass door] Uh, guys?
[The ninja look at themselves in their reflections in the glass door and see that they've become kids]
[he and the others remove their hoods and gasp in shock] WE SHRUNK!!!
[The ninja all scream in horror]
Oh, oh, oh, this is bad! This is so bad on so many levels!
Oh, it's impossible! We must be dreaming, Zane! TELL ME WE'RE DREAMING!
Zane
Nindroids don't dream! Perhaps Garmadon succeeded in turning back the clock, but instead of reviving the Grundal, it only affected us!
Yeah, but Nindroids don't turn into kids. Explain that, genius!
Zane
I've extended my logic parameters, but nothing is coming up. This does not compute!
Okay, fine, I get it, we're all in this together. Oh, but I can't be a kid again! I hated being a kid! You can't drive, nobody listens to you! Oh, no.... BEDTIMES!
I told Nya we'd meet back at the Bounty. I'm sure Sensei will know what to do.
[Lloyd arrives at Buddy's Pizza to meet the ninja]
[to Jay] Really? Of all places we could meet, you pick this place?
What? I like their pizza.
[notices Lloyd] Psst, Lloyd.
[not recognizing Kai while holding the ninja's weapons] Beat it, brat! I'm on a mission.
[stops him] It's me, Kai.
[looks closer to see his friends, all as young as him; gasps and drops their weapons] What happened? You're small!
[whispering] Keep it down. We're trying to lay low. Your father's Mega Weapon not only turned us into kids, but unleashed a creature whose sole purpose is to hunt down ninja.
And now every time we try to tell somebody, they wouldn't believe us 'cause we're kids.
[Lloyd laughs]
Well, I guess you now know what it feels like to be treated differently. [sets the ninja's weapons on the table]
Zane
Look, this is serious. If we don't turn big so that we can use our Spinjitzu, we don't stand a chance against the Grundal.
What about me? I know Spinjitzu.
Yeah, but you don't know the Grundal. We all need to be at full strength. What we need to do first is to find someone who might know more about how to defeat one of those things.
[Lloyd notices a kid reading a Starfarer comic]
I am. I think I know just the guy.
