[Dareth visits the ninja at Kryptarium Prison]
What are you doing to get us out of here!?
ZaneThis 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.
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]
[touches an electric fence] Ow! Careful, Zane. It's electrified.
Zane
I believe all of the signs on this repo yard made that abundantly clear. Perhaps there's another suitable solution past this obstacle. Airjitzu?
[He uses Airjitzu to fly over the fence]
You don't have to sound so cocky.
RMRepo Man
[sees Kai and Zane] Looks like we have some trespassers. [to his dog] Go get them, Sir Chomps-A-Lot.
[Zane tries to break the Bounty's restraints]
Zane
These chains will take me a while. You could keep interrupting me or perhaps start making yourself useful.
[Kai tries to melt the chains, but the Repo Man's dog starts chasing him]
Aah! Get away, get away, get away, get away!!
RMRepo Man
Trespasser! Don't move!
[He shoots at Zane, but misses and breaks the chain instead. The dog is now chasing both Zane and Kai]
Zane
Would you be quiet and run?!
SDr. Saunders
The ninja. The Master Wu.
SSaunders
Oh, please, we are all friends. You must call me by my first name, yes? Sander, yes?
[whispering to Nya] Dr. Sander Saunders?
SSaunders
At your service. [chuckles] I am so pleased to be seeing you at this now. We are opening our new exhibit. Come. You see, come. [leads Wu and the ninja to the entrance to the hall] Might I be presenting the Hall of Villainy.
SSaunders
[presenting statues and portraits of the ninja's villains and enemies] Cryptor.
Zane
A plastic mannequin.
SSaunders
And Morro. Check this out! We don't just open on the Day of Departed. It's the Day of Departed lunar eclipse. A special eclipse.
The rarest Yin-Yang eclipse.
SSaunders
Oh, poetic, is it not? Scary holiday, scary exhibit, scary moon, there is magic in the air.
[Jay arrives at the museum, where the other ninja are waiting for him]
Guys, I have the ghost story to end all ghost stories. You will never guess what just happened.
You battled the possessed mannequin of a mortal enemy?
Him and his goons tried to send you to the Departed Realm with magic blades?
Zane
But you defeated them first.
And saw their ghosts disappear into the night.
Oh, okay, fine, you guessed. Well, since you know so much, why were all those ghosts out here?
[approaching them] Because distracting you was part of Master Yang's plan.
[appearing beside Wu] And he had help.
[He and the other ninja bring out their weapons]
Any other villains want to show up tonight?
We stopped five, what's one more?
No, put away your weapons. He's here to help. Morro, tell them.
Yang tricked Cole into helping him open a rift to return to Ninjago.
Cole? How'd he trick you?
Zane
Jay, Cole isn't here.
Are you sure? He's been fading a lot lately. He's kind of easy to miss.
ANAll ninja
[gasp in realization] We forgot Cole!
To the Bounty. They must be at the Temple of the Airjitzu Master. [to Morro] Thank you, Morro.
Happy Day of the Departed, Master.
[Morro returns to his pedestal and poses. His spirit leaves his statue and goes back to the Departed Realm]
[Ninjago Museum of History; The ninja clean out all the villain mannequin pieces after the events of the Day of the Departed battle]
[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.
[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.
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?"
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?
[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.
It's just an expression, Zane.
[staring at a familiar painting] I... I don't believe it.
[The two siblings stand in front of a painting of their parents]
I think it's a portrait of... our parents.
[looks at the back of the painting] Whoa. This dates to when I was, like, 3 years old.
Shortly before they disappeared. We know so little about them, Nya.
Father was the Elemental Master of Fire. Mother was the Master of Water. [conjures a water ball]
And they left us the old blacksmith shop and little else.
[The ninja come across by looking at a giant portrait of Young Garmadon and Wu fighting together in a battle]
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.
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?
[On the Bounty, the alarms are going off]
Um, weren't we just outside? When did we get here?
Zane
My circuits are picking up an energy displacement.
There was a displacement, all right. It displaced us right in here.
[covering his ears from the alarm] I don't know, but it's loud!
Nya: [looks at some panels] These energy readings are off the charts. Where is it coming from?
Zane
I'm trying to pinpoint the location.
[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.
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.
Zane
The displacement we experienced was not caused by just any normal energy, it was temporal energy.
Oh, well, temporal energy, of course. Everyone knows that's, um... powerful.
You have no idea what temporal means, do you?
Zane
Precisely. Whatever created that displacement can warp the very fabric of space-time.
Which is powerful, right?
Zane
Very. All the normal rules of existence no longer apply to such a force.
[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?
Zane
Is he from the future?
How did he speed up time like that?
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.
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.
Ha! True that! Know how I know? 'Cause Acronix was a so-called myth, and we totally busted him! Haha!
Yeah! Hahaha! Except now, there's nothing to do.
Hm, the temple still needs unpacking.
Ugh, kinda wish we hadn't busted him. [to Nya] Hey, Nya. Wanna hang out?
Zane
These snakes are behaving curiously.
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.
Well, they finally have to deal with us at full strength. And—hang on, has anyone seen Jay?
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.
Well, don't tell us, tell Jay! He's the one who took off for wherever without saying a word to us.
I'm sure he has a good reason.
Well, I'm glad you're sure.
[Cole, Jay, and Zane are playing with the Slow-Mo Time Blade]
Zane
It is unlike anything I have ever seen.
Zane
I must urge caution, Jay. The Time Blade is a powerful weapon.
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.
When I got nine in a row.
Okay, yeah, if you wanna count that.
But watch this. [throws a box in the air and and blasts it with the Time Blade]
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.
[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.
And I don't care who knows it! [hugs his toy sadly] Mr. Cuddlywomp…
[on the Destiny's Shadow with Zane] I have no idea what any of these buttons do. And it doesn't come with a user's manual.
Zane
On it. P.I.X.A.L., please do a vehicular spec analysis. Oh, right, she's still offline. I'll do it myself. The Destiny's Shadow has four offensive weapons, seven defensive systems, five transformative reconfigurations, and one mini-fridge. [offers Lloyd a beverage] Beverage?
You wouldn't happen to have a reconfigurable amphibious vehicle with you, would you?
Zane
Actually, we might. Let me access those specs again. Reconfiguration three of the Destiny's Shadow is the Experimental Amphibious Multi-Terrain Assault Vehicle, XAMTAV.
Ha! What a catchy name. XAMTAV. Heh. Sounds like a laxative. No wonder Kai was so jealous.
[In the Samurai X Cave, Zane is hooked up to a computer and shows clips from the ninja's adventures]
Zane
Long before time had a name, the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago using four Elemental Weapons. But when he passed, a dark presence sought out to collect them all, Lord Garmadon.
This is what you wanted help with? I didn't know Nindroids kept diaries.
Zane
This is not a diary, it is a backup of our adventures. I returned from our latest search for Master Wu and thought it pertinent that someone record the story of Ninjago.
I should've brought popcorn. Now let's make history.
Zane
As I was saying, Lord Garmadon wanted the Elemental Weapons, but Sensei Wu, his brother and son of the First Spinjitzu Master, found four ninja to collect them first. Kai, Master of Fire. His desire to protect friends and family burns as hot as his temper. Jay, Master of Lightning. His humor and heart echo louder than thunder. Cole, Master of Earth. His body and spirit are solid as a rock, but strong muscles cannot hide his softer side. Last but not least, Zane, Master of Ice. Cool and calculating with a head for strategy. [Nya clears her throat] I was gonna mention you, Nya, once you became a ninja.
How about "Nya, future Master of Water, the original Samurai X, expert mechanic and pilot, not just Kai's sister and Jay's girlfriend?"
