Zane quotes from Ninjago

Kai

What's going on?

Jay

Is the city sinking?

Zane

Worse. The city's returning back into the desert, as if it had never been found in the first place.

Kai

Uh, what? What does that mean?

Nya

What's happening?

Zane

Garmadon's gone back in time to make it so Lloyd never turns into the Green Ninja.

Lloyd

I can't... I can't feel my hands.

Kai

Uh. Ugh. We have to go in!

If he changes anything, he changes everything! Protect the future, ninja!

Where are we?

Zane

You mean, when are we?

Kai

Four Weapons. Huh. My parents' shop. Nya and I used to work there. [realizes] Hey, wait a minute, this is the day Garmadon ordered the Skeletons to take my sister. We need to warn them!

Whoa, whoa! You heard what Sensei said, we change anything, we change everything.

Jay

Yeah, I was confused by that too.

Zane

What he means is, our world is the result of past events that have already happened. If for whatever reason events in our past fail to happen, then the future could radically change.

Jay

Uh, so what you're saying is we gotta stop Garmadon from changing anything? But of all the times, why did we land here?

Kai

'Cause this is where it all started. Today, I met Sensei Wu for the first time and I began my training as a ninja. Somehow, Garmadon is gonna try to prevent that, but how?

[sighs] If only Sensei were here to guide us.

Jay

Oh look, there he is! Maybe he can!

We gotta tell him what Garmadon has done.

Zane

But we can't let the old Kai and Nya see that we talked to him, or else it will affect the future.

Kai

Hmm. I know exactly what to do.

Jay

Did we just, uh...?

Kai

Return to the future?

This feels familiar, but weren't we training Lloyd?

Zane

The future was altered and there is no Green Ninja.

Lloyd

[panting] Sorry I'm late, guys. Are we ready to get training?

Kai

Ha! You're still here!

Lloyd

Uh, yeah. Why wouldn't I be?

Jay

So when we went back in time and destroyed Garmadon's Mega Weapon, that didn't change anything?

Lloyd

My father has a Mega Weapon?

Kai

[with a watermelon] Oh, wait a minute, you've never heard of it? [slices the melon, giving everyone each a slice]

Lloyd

I-I think I would've remembered that. Why? What is it? Should I be concerned? [the others laugh] Hey, what are you guys laughing at? What's so funny? [carves a Dragon on his slice]

Kai

Hahaha, I think some things are best left in the past. Come on. Let's just prepare for the future.

Lloyd

I don't get it.

Hold the line!

Lloyd

The winds are too strong!

Zane

We need everyone's help, Jay!

Jay

But I don't wanna get wet. I... I only have one pair of underwear.

Kai

Jay, this is no time to be making jokes. The Bounty can only take so much.

Jay

You think I'm trying to be funny? Okay, laugh all you want, but we'll see who laughs last when I have to go commando.

A medallion. It's like a compass. When the three holes match up, the medallion will reveal where the temple is hidden.

Jay

Uh, how'd you know that?

Oh, I did a lot of reading in my spare time. [chuckles] Adventure stories were my favorite.

Zane

[takes the medallion] Then what are we waiting for?

Not you, Lloyd.

Lloyd

Ah, seriously? Are we still doing this?

Misako

Wu is right. If you were to come across your father, it could prematurely start the final battle. We need to be at full strength before we take any risks.

Jay

Hahaha. Jealous?

Well, I could use some help around the shop. We should get working on vehicles that might help give us a fighting chance.

Remember, Garmadon doesn't know we're on the island. It's imperative that you stay out of sight.

Jay

Of course, Sensei. Don't worry. Have you ever known us to veer from a plan, huh?

Ninja-

Shh! Not so loud. Are you trying to get us caught?

[quietly] …go.

Jay

[seeing some murals on the walls of their previous adventures] Guys, check this out. It's us.

Kai

Impossible. It's everything we've ever done.

Finding the Bounty, facing the (Great) Devourer, even right now.

Zane

How could it all be here?

Lloyd

Destiny. [A mural shows the ninja in a circle with Lloyd in the center] I think I know what we need to do.

Jay

Nya!

That is no longer Nya.

Kai

[enraged] What did he do to my sister?!

Misako

He must've used the ultimate weapon to turn her into his own evil image.

Garmadon must have sent her to slow us down. We have to stop them from firing that weapon.

What are we supposed to do? Use our Elemental Powers on her?

Jay

No! I don't want to hurt her!

Kai

Jay's right! We just have to find a way to keep her from… [gets hit with a flail by his corrupted sister] Hurting us.

Zane

Well, we should think of something before Garmadon fires that weapon.

Overlord

[possessing Garmadon's body] The Metamorphosis has begun!

Kai

Metamorphosis? What does that mean?

Zane

Metamorphosis is a biological process by which someone or something changes into something new.

Yeah, changes into something ugly!

Lloyd

Father!

No, Lloyd, that is no longer your father.

Lloyd

But what about the prophecy? It said I had to face my father.

Misako

You still must, but now the Overlord has possessed him. Unlike your father, the Overlord will show you no mercy.

Kai

You can do this, Lloyd.

Jay

We're here and behind you all the way.

He's tough, but you're tougher.

Zane

But we have to act before his evil gets more powerful.

Lloyd

Let's do this.

Ninja, go!

Lloyd

Can I still fight?

Hmm, I'm sorry. That leg will take weeks to heal.

Lloyd

We don't have weeks.

The battle between good and evil will be decided today.

Kai

And we can't even get to the fight, much less get off this island. [throws a rock into the sea]

Jay

Ah, I wonder if I'll ever see Nya again.

Zane

Perhaps it's best to think of our friends as we remember them in our hearts, not as they are now.

Lloyd

But I don't remember my father any other way.

Misako

Your father loved you. It was the evil of the Great Devourer that corrupted him.

Kai

Sensei, I don't understand. The prophecy said the Green Ninja would defeat the Dark Lord. [throws another rock into the sea] Why didn't we win?

I...don't know.

Jay

Don't know? You're Sensei! You always know! You have a long white beard!

Kai

There must be some message to learn. A lesson. A word of wisdom. Just a word? Something.

For once, I'm afraid there is nothing to learn. Only that evil has won.

Lloyd

If Sensei doesn't have a lesson, then I do. I used to be nothing but trouble, but then I met you guys. You took me in. Showed me the importance of being brave, the importance of being strong. And most importantly, being good. When this battle first began, when the First Spinjitzu Master fought the Overlord and his back was up against the wall and he knew it was all over, did he quit? No. He found a way to keep the fight going. He passed his Elemental Powers to us. Of all people, a bunch of kids. But there must have been a reason he chose us. I'd like to think it's because he knew we'd never back down, we'd never give up. We've learned the ancient ways of the ninja. And ninja never quit.

Kai

He's right. If that means we have to swim the sea to get off this island, then so be it.

Kai

He's turned everyone evil.

Jay

Oh, just like Nya.

And now they're helping his cause. I can't wait to see the look on the Overlord's face when he gets a load of us.

Jay

[shocked] Oh, my goodness! [The Overlord, now fully transformed in his original form, blasts some dark matter towards their direction] Oh, sweet mother may I.

Kai

Look out, Jay!

Zane

Is that the look you were hoping for?

Jay

Zane, no.

Misako

The Metamorphosis is complete. The Overlord's changed into his original form.

But we can't fly up there.

We have my father's Golden mech. We have to draw their fire to help Lloyd use the mech against the Overlord.

Misako

[as Lloyd flies down on his Golden Dragon] You were brilliant, son.

Because of you, Ninjago was saved. Because of you, there will be a tomorrow.

Kai

Speaking of which, if the Overlord should ever decide to show his face again around here, we'll be ready.

And next time, we'll be a little more humble.

Zane

And a little more wise.

Jay

And with better catchphrases.

Misako

[comforting Lloyd as he frowns] We will all miss your father.

Garmadon

[emerging from a pile of rocks and approaches them, limping and fully purified] Lloyd. What... what happened?

Misako

Garmadon, is it really you?

Lloyd

Dad? [joyfully] Oh, Dad! [runs and embraces him]

Misako

Every ounce of evil and venom is… gone.

Garmadon

I feel good. Aha! It's been so long.

Good to have you back, brother.

Garmadon

Wu! Good to be back.

Jay

Aw, would you look at that? Who would have thought we'd ever see the day? You think we should dogpile them?

Kai

Let's give them their moment. They earned it.

It's been quite a ride, fellas.

Zane

You think there will be others?

I hope so. I liked being a ninja. It's not like we have many other skills.

Jay

Ha, speak for yourself, I'm looking forward to doing a little inventing, maybe some model-building, dabble in poetry…

Kai

Jay's right. We've come a long way and there's no reason why we can't use what we've learned in our everyday lives. And who knows? We may have gotten the balance right today, but there's always tomorrow. There's no way of knowing what's around the corner. But as long as there's something worth fighting for, there's always a need for a ninja. And we'll be ready.

Hey, did you guys hear the news?

There's trouble?

Danger?

An emergency?

Oh, a new menace?

No, we got clearance for a field trip.

Not just any field trip. A field trip to tour Borg Industries.

[gasps] Not the Borg Industries. As in home to super genius reclusive savant Cyrus Borg? Inventor of the hover car and everything else cool in this world? [Zane kicks him] Ow!

Welcome to Borg Industries. I'm P.I.X.A.L., Cyrus' Primary Interactive X-ternal Assistant Life-form. I'm sorry to hear about the traffic accident.

Wow, news travels fast.

Everything in New Ninjago City is fully automated and interconnected. [turns to Zane] Your antiquated bus should be ready shortly. You are Zane, a droid like me. What does Zane stand for?

I stand for peace, freedom, and courage in the face of all who threaten Ninjago.

She means your name, tin head.

I guess I'm just Zane.

Seriously, who the heck was that guy?

Or gal.

Whoever it is, they turned our sensei against us.

And if we want to save him, we'll need to find out who this stranger is.

Perhaps I could have that answer for you in a few moments.

What is it?

Hmm…

It's obviously a clue, dirt clod.

I know it's a clue, zap trap, but it's so small. I just want to know what—

Stop it, you two. P.I.X.A.L., can you analyze it?

The sample is far too small, but given time, I should have an answer.

Then we should waste no more time and get back to the city. I'll use my Falcon Vision to warn Lloyd of our findings.

I thought taking the power out would give us the upper hand, but now that they have it and we don't, I guess the power has only shifted.

Don't worry, sis, we'll get Sensei back.

What happened?

No power, that's what happened.

Are we too late?

Outsiders must answer to the Postman!

Return… to… sender! [the civilians cheer]

Ah, you finally made it. Don't mind the savages. Since power went out, everyone here has grown a bit bored. Their imagination knows no bounds. [sees P.I.X.A.L.] P.I.X.A.L., amazing! You're... powered.

You need to stay in character, Borg. This is no fun if we're not all committed.

Oh, I'll have you committed if you don't all leave us at once. Now shoo!
