You can't defeat me! Where there is light, there will always be shadow!
LloydUnless my light is bright enough!
[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.
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.
And a little more wise.
And with better catchphrases.
[Everyone, but Lloyd, all laugh]
[comforting Lloyd as he frowns] We will all miss your father.
[emerging from a pile of rocks and approaches them, limping and fully purified] Lloyd. What... what happened?
Garmadon, is it really you?
LloydDad? [joyfully] Oh, Dad! [runs and embraces him]
Every ounce of evil and venom is… gone.
I feel good. Aha! It's been so long.
Good to have you back, brother.
Wu! Good to be back.
Aw, would you look at that? Who would have thought we'd ever see the day? You think we should dogpile them?
Let's give them their moment. They earned it.
It's been quite a ride, fellas.
You think there will be others?
I hope so. I liked being a ninja. It's not like we have many other skills.
Ha, speak for yourself, I'm looking forward to doing a little inventing, maybe some model-building, dabble in poetry…
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.
[At nightfall at Garmadon's monastery, Nya and the ninja sit down with their students for training. They gasp when they see Garmadon's shadow has four arms. This turns out to be someone else, who opens the door for him]
Ah, my son. So glad you could join us.
Heh, it's been a while, Father.
[whispering to Cole] Check out the new Sensei looking sharp.
Silence! [hits Jay on the head with his staff]
OW!
Close your mouth and open your ears. Tonight's lesson is the Art of the Silent Fist, to fight without fighting. May I have a volunteer?
How about me?
The Ultimate Battle, Round Two!
Attack me, but please, no powers. I happen to like my monastery.
[The kids laugh. Lloyd charges at Garmadon, but he dodges, making him run into a table]
You see, the key is balance. Let your opponent fight himself. [dodges more of Lloyd's attacks] Let the enemy tire himself.
Argh! [Garmadon yawns then dodges his attack] Huh? [slams into a support column]
Pupils, I give you the most powerful ninja in all the land, the Golden Ninja.
Why must everything have so many weapons?
Says the man who had four arms to possess the Golden Weapons.
Haha, I deserved that.
[The ninja are inside Arcturus in space]
[floating around in the ship] Is this the greatest thing ever or what?
Where are you? We're trapped in space and you... where did you go?
Guys, we're in space. I thought this is stuff only Fritz Donnegan gets to enjoy.
Fritz is from a comic book, dude. This is real!
Well, you got me hooked on the character. Would you lighten up and not step on your dreams of being a real Starfarer just yet?
We have to find a way to take control of the ship. If they get the Golden Weapons back to the Overlord, Ninjago doesn't stand much of a chance. [Kai accidentally bumps into him] Whoa!
But there's no access to the rest of the ship. The only way out is through the same airlock we came in.
And if my memory banks serve correct, space has a way of taking one's breath away, in the negative sense.
No one happens to have a build-your-own-rocket-kit handy, do they?
[gets an idea] Whoa, that's it!
You have a build-your-own-rocket-kit?
No, but we can make one. Arcturus may not fly, but she'll give us all the metal we need. And Zane knows this solar system better than anyone.
And Kai's Fire could weld the missing parts.
Cole's manpower could do all the heavy lifting.
Jay has enough electricity and nerd knowledge to make a halfway believable spacecraft.
Haha. [realizes what Cole just said] Hey! Hey, this could actually work.
He's not letting go!
His heart! It's reaching critical mass!
If his heart overloads, he'll blow! He'll never survive!
Let go of him, Zane! What is he doing?!
He's protecting us!
I am a Nindroid, and ninja never quit. Go, ninja. GO! [blasts his ice powers on the Overlord]
What are you doing?! LET ME GO, YOU FOOL!
No, Zane! NO!
We have to get out of here, now!
[Kai arrives at enters Chen's Noodle House and enters to find Lloyd]
Lloyd[popping up from a table; waving to him] Kai, back here.
[walks over to the table and is surprised to see Cole and Jay there, too] Jay? Cole?
Ha, you too?
The runt tricked us all.
Lloyd[grabbing Kai's hand as he tries to take some food from the conveyor belt] We talk first, then eat.
Uh, trust me, do you know what kind of restraint I've had to stare at all of this noodle goodness? You're late.
Make it quick.
LloydI know without Zane, things have been different, but we have to move on. The reason I brought you all here is because… maybe we should add someone new to our team.
A new ninja?
Are you crazy?!
Come on, Zane's irreplaceable!
LloydI cared for him too, but now it's time to care about this team.
Maybe without Zane, there is no team.
[The ninja run out of the back of the restaurant to catch the thugs, only to find that they've disappeared, and they then find a note on the wall with a picture of Zane and a plate of fortune cookies on the table]
LloydWhat's this?
Uh…
[gasps] It's Zane.
What does it say?
Lloyd[takes the note off the wall] It says he's alive.
[Kai, Jay, and Cole gasp]
I don't think those thugs were delivering a message to the Noodle House. I think they were delivering a message to us.
What do you mean it says he's alive?
LloydHey, I'm just telling you what it says.
Why would these thugs lead us here?
You know, this has to be some cruel joke, and I'm not laughing.
Lloyd[sees the fortune cookies] Look, I think this was meant for us too.
Fortune cookies? Very peculiar.
LloydShould we?
[Cole eats a fortune cookie]
Uh, you do realize there's a fortune inside, right?
Oh, so that's why they're called that.
LloydListen to this. [reads his fortune] "Master Chen has personally invited you to participate in his Tournament of Elements."
Wait a minute. Are you saying that Mr. Chen, the same guy filling my belly with delicious goodness, is actually Master Chen?
[reading his fortune] "Secrecy is of the utmost importance. Tell no one, or suffer the consequences."
[reading his fortune] "If you ever want to see your friend again, meet on the pier at midnight and leave your weapons behind."
[Their fortunes explode, and Cole belches]
Uhh, at least I know I was invited.
[Everyone laughs]
LloydYou don't think...
It could be a trap. A lie to lure us in.
Yeah, but what if it's not? What if Zane's alive?
LloydThe Tournament of Elements. I'm starting to think this Master Chen makes more than noodles.
You can forget bringing in a new ninja, Lloyd. Let's go see about an old one.
LloydYou know him. You said his name's Clouse.
Don't be fooled by his attire. He is a Master of Dark Arts and Master Chen's number two.
Huh, I thought Master Chen's number two was an eggroll and fried rice.
Why haven't you or Wu ever told us there are others with powers like us?
Because there are some things we don't want you to know. You were led to believe you were special, yet you never questioned where your powers came from.
Uh, are you implying that I'm not special?
Everyone on this ship is a descendant of an original Elemental Master.
LloydElemental Master? Who were they?
They were the First Spinjitzu Master's guardians, each endowed with an Elemental Power that has passed down through generations.
if that's true, then so is my sister Nya. But she can't do what I can.
Can't she? Power lies in all of you. It only needs to be awoken. The fighters here serve no master and have managed to unlock their own True Potential. For instance, that pale man, a distant relative to the Master of Light. Watch closely and you'll see how he's stayed hidden all these years. [Mr. Pale disappears, shocking the ninja. Griffin Turner runs by] Then there's Griffin Turner. Grandson to the Master of Speed.
Hey, you can't lay a hand on me. I'm faster than fast, swifter than swift!
Uh, Master of Speed? Pfft. That's not an Element.
So asks the Master of Lightning.
Oh, snap, he got you there.
Welcome to the Tournament of Elements. Now everyone can all di—[the door suddenly closes and everyone gasps] —rect your attention to me!
[whispering to Lloyd] I forgot to mention he has a penchant for theatrics.
[laughs] Never before have so many Elemental Fighters been under one roof. I see Master of Fire, Earth, Shadow, Speed, even a prophesied Green Savior. And a former pupil has returned. [points to a gong] This symbol before you is for the Anacondrai, fiercest Serpentine warrior to ever roam this land. Its creed: "Only one can remain."
[The gong moves aside, showing brackets]
Good, looks like we're each in our own bracket. We won't have to face each other for a while.
LloydBetter find Zane before that happens.
[presents a Jadeblade] Behold, a Jadeblade. Here, it represents life. Obtain it, move on. Allow your opponent to take it, loser. The rules are simple. Every match will be different. No two fights will be the same. Your powers will keep you in the Tournament. Use it or lose it.
Hm, what does Karlof win?
Win and stay on the island. Win it all, and you'll receive fortunes beyond your wildest dreams, and lifetime supply of Master Chen noodles. But no one is here because of noodle. You want the glory of being the greatest fighter in all of Ninjago!
[The Elemental Masters, except the ninja, cheer]
And what happens if they lose?
Lose? Who here likes to lose? [everyone else laughs, except the ninja] Now please, enjoy my island. It's a super fun happy place. Hahaha. Fun time on me.
No more sneaking around. From now on, let's just follow the rules.
We may not have found Zane, but we've found something just as important. This tournament isn't about glory. It's about Chen stealing all of our elemental powers.
LloydBut why? What is he planning?
I don't know. But if we're gonna find out and find Zane, we have to play by his rules. Agreed?
Agreed.
Good thing we weren't spotted. That was close.
Yeah, too close.
There's a valuable lesson here, son. If you turn your back on your first evil Sensei in an effort to go straight… you may not be served creamy biscuits.
LloydWell, I know what we are being served. A whole bunch of baloney. [to Kai] This isn't a fighting tournament, it's an alibi for Chen to steal everyone's powers. But we still don't know why.
Isn't it obvious? Chen wants to destroy New Ninjago City. I don't know what it is, but that place has had a string of bad luck.
I'm not so sure. From what Sensei G's told us about him, I have a feeling it's something far more sinister.
And may I remind us, we still don't know where Zane is, which is why we all need to take care of our first rounds to give us more time. Don't look at me. I've already moved on.
Your opponent got himself kicked out.
[chuckles] Either way, it's my day off. Extra creamy biscuits. And don't skimp.
Taking a day off? And here I thought ninja never quit.
I used to think ninja wouldn't steal your girlfriend!
Whatever you have to say to each other, say it now, because harbouring grudges hurts no one but yourselves.
LloydHe's right, you two should be preparing to fight your next opponent, not each other.
What grudge? I already dropped it.
I dropped it first.
Did not!
Did too!
[They continue arguing, with Jay dropping his biscuits and drink]
The tournament will test them, Lloyd. Either find a way for them to make peace, or neither of them will move on.
[The ninja approach the Elemental Masters, who are gathered around the bracket]
What's all the commotion?
[They see Cole and Jay on the same bracket and gasp in shock]
No, he can't do this.
LloydHe already did.
We gotta fight each other!
Why does it say I have to fight Cole?! It didn't say that before. I'm not ready to fight. It was supposed to be my day off!
I tried to warn you, but you never listen. Talk, yes. Listen, not so much.
[walks up to the ninja] Is there a problem, ninja?
You cheated! You changed the brackets!
Oopsie. [laughs and walks away]
[Garmadon approaches the ninja]
LloydWhat do we do? They can't fight each other. We came here to become whole, not fall further apart.
You can't undo what's been done. My only advice is to be at peace with it.
Peace? One of us has to lose! Oh, my gosh, it's totally gonna be me! He's got super strength and what do I have?! Quick, tell me! WHAT DO I HAVE?!
LloydDon't listen to my dad. We find Zane, then none of us have to battle. Your fight isn't until tonight, so we still have time to figure out what Chen's up to and stop this.
I think I know just the person who can help, and I think he already knows.
I hope the Tournament of Elements has entertained you as much as it has me. To thank you, I wanted to give everyone fancy jewels and untold shiny things. But then in yesterday's battle, Master Jay and Cole tried to undermine me by teaming up and refusing to fight each other. And that made me very upset. For their insubordination, all of your fancy quarters will be taken away, and tonight everyone must sleep together in the chow house. That is all. Thank you, you can go.
[The Elemental Masters walk away]
Nice one, Jay.
Whoa, easy, Romeo.
LloydDon't worry about them. We aren't here to make friends, just to save ours.
Yes, but your exclusion of others has only made enemies. Beware how you treat those around you, for they will treat you the same.
