Zane
Borg may have created the Digiverse with good intentions, it was taken over by the Digital Over-Over-Over-Over—
It looks like the corrupted code spread to this memory.
Maybe some of these pictures are traps.
It's a Zane puzzle, so Zane's picture has gotta be a safe move.
You know, sometimes I forget that Zane isn't human.
Really? Heh! Because he's covered in metal, you know.
The corrupted code seems confined to Zane's secondary systems for now. I can temporarily reroute his memory functions through the Samurai X Computer to buy you some time, but not much.
That means if we don't solve these puzzles soon, Zane might lose control...for good.
Ooh! It's a riddle! Lucky for you guys, I'm even better at riddles than I am at puzzles. Haha. "Feed me and I grow, always hungry. Give me something to drink and I die, always angry".
That sounds like it could be Fire. These symbols must be the possible answers! Look, there's a tiny flame!
Careful. One wrong answer could break down the rest of Zane's security system.
Lightning bolt, drop of Water, Smoke— Ew! Is that a foot?
Zane
The foot symbol denotes Speed. This appears to be a puzzle about the Elemental Masters.
Some of those aren't even on this puzzle! The answer is Fire, guys. Fire!
Zane
Kai's impatience gives me an idea. Perhaps we should consider the Elemental Masters as a whole rather than as individuals. What did they desire? What did they accomplish?
Well, they ended the Serpentine War, and they stopped Krux and Acronix from taking over the world.
They gave their powers to the next generation of Elemental Masters.
That's right. We're the Elemental Masters now. And you know what I just realized? "Feed me and I grow, always hungry." But we all like to eat. "Give me something to drink and I die, always angry." But only one of us is angry all the time and can't swim. [realizes] It's Kai. The answer must be Fire!
Zane
I have been running logic scenarios since we began the puzzle, and Fire is a 99.9 percent match.
That's three votes for Fire. Me, Jay, and Zane.
Zane
We did it! The answer was Fire.
The answer was never not Fire!
I just wanted to be sure.
[Zane and Kai are fighting the Mechanic]
Zane, Master Lloyd requires Kai and your attention in Ninjago City.
Zane
Is it serious?
It appears so. Did I catch you at a bad time?
MMechanic
Hot off the press. The Mechanic is back, Ninjago.
Ugh, whoever said "Fight fire with fire" didn't know what they're talking about.
Zane
We will be there shortly.
MMechanic
Watch out for the crossfire!
Hey! You're stealing my lines!
Zane
[freezes the Mechanic] Who likes ice cream? I do! How was that for a last line, Kai? Can we leave now?
[also frozen] Needs a little work. Gonna have to give me a minute to thaw though. Heh.
[The ninja meet up]
[sees Lloyd] Hey, there he is. You're late.
Zane
Kai was late too, if it is any consolation.
Thanks for meeting me here. It's been a while since we've all been under one roof. [Nya giggles and Cole nudges Jay] What?
Are we gonna talk about it?
Zane
[deep voice] Lower.
Sounds like our little ninja's growing up.
I don't like this one bit. If the Royal Family likes their privacy, why give such a public speech?
I think it's nice. They're reaching out to the people.
Why all the hate, sis? You just don't like getting gussied up.
All that gold and glitter is for show. The Royal Family are figure heads. They don't have any real power, what purpose do they have?
Zane
Their purpose is to be protected, as do all of our traditions. I believe Master Lloyd has spotted something of interest.
[They see Lloyd staring at the Princess]
Looks like he's got an eye for the Princess.
I guess green is her favorite color.
You do know I can hear you, right?
HHutchins
While you are in our service, you have full access to the complimentary royal buffet. Anything you want is at your disposal. Exotic fruits, assorted vegetables, scones, and all-you-can-eat cake.
Ah, thank you, but I gave up sweets. My body is a temple.
Ever since Master Wu went missing, Cole has been a real party pooper.
Zane
[confused] Party pooper?
Zane
Can we discuss now what is a "party pooper"?
Jay's upset I'm the responsible one. With Master Wu gone, someone has to keep us in check.
Zane
In that case, you are correct. You are responsible. It is nice to have a pooper at the party.
[Jay laughs as Cole groans]
LCLuke Cunningham
Ninja. Hmph. What do you two want?
Zane
Luke Cunningham.
Otherwise known as the Man in the White Mask.
Zane
We would like some information regarding who you work for, Luke.
LLuke
Well, I'd like a pepperoni pizza and some chocolate ice cream, but it ain't gonna happen.
We don't have that, but we do have a cup of hot tea that could warm you up.
[drinks tea] Mm, it really warms me up. Sometimes a cup of hot tea just hits the spot.
LLuke
Like I said, I ain't talkin'.
Oh, don't you get it? If you don't drink the Tea of Truth, we won't get answers! [realizes what he just said] Oh... [covers his mouth]
LLuke
[looks to his tea then to Cole] You trying to trick me?
Zane
Cole, I think you drank the wrong cup!
I see that now. [gives the Tea of Truth to Zane] But in full disclosure, I'm trying my best to look like I didn't. It's not working, isn't it?
LLuke
Ha! So you can't lie, huh? Oh! You pee in the swimming pool?
Oh course! Who doesn't- [covers mouth]
LLuke
Heh! Where are you hiding the Princess?
Oh, the Destiny's Bounty in a cove off Hollow's Bluff- [covers his mouth again] But tomorrow we'll be at the village of Stiix.
Zane
You're giving away our secrets!
LLuke
What sort of power does the Green Ninja have?
It's some kind of energy, or green light. I dunno, like, all our Elemental Powers rolled into one. Who can say? Zane! Knock me out! Do something!
LLuke
[laughs] Wait till the gang at Laughy's hears about this.
Zane
"Laughy's"? You mean the karaoke club on the south side?
LLuke
[stops laughing] Oh...
Haha! Who's the sucker now? Good thing I didn't tell him about my fear of singing. Oh, Zane, can we please get out of here?
Zane, may I ask you something?
Zane
You have half my heart. You can ask me anything.
Was I more... useful... inside the computer?
Zane
What sort of question is that?
You can be honest with me, because I want to be a useful member of the team, but I would prefer not to return to the computer. I like having a body, but if you require my assistance in your headset-
Zane
The choice has always been yours, P.I.X.A.L.. And I for one like seeing you like this.
Remember how I didn't care for her at first? Then she won me over with all that girl talk, and we started to really get to know each other? Well, now I hate her!
[Mr. E brings out his mask]
Zane
Don't even think about it.
This can end one of two ways: either you hand the masks over peacefully—
I don't even have to know the rest of the choices. I like that one.
Or we'll have to get all ninja up on ya.
What does that even mean?
I don't know. I was improvising. Usually Lloyd does the talking. But he isn't here. B— WHERE'S LLOYD?!
PHPast Hoffen
Did anybody get some FIZZ?! ATTACK!
[Wu, P.I.X.A.L., and the ninja barge into the Commissioner's office]
Sorry to barge in, but it's really quite urgent.
Zane
We have to vacate the city.
We need weapons, lots and lots and lots of weapons.
CCommissioner
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. One at a time. Just shoot it to me straight: what's gonna do me in?
CCommissioner
Every time something bad happens to the city, first thing they do is can the police commissioner. So what is it this time? Subterranean mutant insects? Indomitable flesh-eating zombies? A pirate genie?
CCommissioner
Yes, why not? Anything can happen in this crazy town.
[finds foil under the Bounty's debris] Foil. I found foil! Ah! Yes! We have foil!
Zane
[grunts as he sets up a radio] Okay, let's see if it works.
Say we're lucky enough to reach someone in Ninjago. After everything that's happened, is there even a home to go back to?
One way to find out. Here goes nothing. [flips a switch on the radio]
[Nothing happens]
Zane
And that sounds like nothing.
Ugh, we're never getting home!
[calmly] So it doesn't work. I'm telling you guys, I've been feeling so much better now that I've accepted our situation. This is our new home.
You don't sound like yourself, Jay.
I'm just saying you don't have to freak out about it. Heh. It could be worse.
Worse? Worse!? A strange tea lady just marooned us in the Realm of Oni and Dragon. A realm, mind you, we know nothing about, with no hope of getting home, and no clue as to what else is out there!
Uh, Oni and Dragons, duh?
Sure, Jay. We've all seen Dragons. But aren't you the least bit concerned about coming across an Oni? I mean, we hardly know anything about them.
Zane
Except that they like to destroy, and Master Wu is part Oni.
[Kai holds up a torch as Zane fixes the radio]
No sign of Cole, or Wu for that matter. So, whatcha doin', Jay?
[playing a "game" on a piece of wood] It's my new video game console. I built it myself.
Uh-huh. [to Zane] Is it working?
Zane
It's working!
Really? Jay, do you believe it?
Ain't no video game console with unlimited plays.
[The Dragon Hunters surround the stranded ninja]
They are Masters of Elements! A week's rations for the Hunter who brings them to me in chains!
Zane
There are fifteen.
Yeah, well, you were always better with math. You with us, Jay?
We're totally outnumbered. They have weapons and we don't, I haven't eaten all day, not to mention showered in a week. Do you see there are kids in this audience? This level of violence is far too much for them to handle, let alone me!
Zane
He's back to normal.
