[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]
GHGarmadon/Homer
Ah, my son. So glad you could join us.
LBLloyd/Bart
Heh, it's been a while, Father.
JHJay/Happy
[whispering to Cole] Check out the new Sensei looking sharp.
GHGarmadon/Homer
Silence! [hits Jay on the head with his staff]
GHGarmadon/Homer
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?
LBLloyd/Bart
How about me?
NNNya/Norrie
The Ultimate Battle, Round Two!
GHGarmadon/Homer
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]
GHGarmadon/Homer
You see, the key is balance. Let your opponent fight himself. [dodges more of Lloyd's attacks] Let the enemy tire himself.
LBLloyd/Bart
Argh! [Garmadon yawns then dodges his attack] Huh? [slams into a support column]
GHGarmadon/Homer
Pupils, I give you the most powerful ninja in all the land, the Golden Ninja.
JHJay/Happy
Seriously, who the heck was that guy?
KTKai/Tag
Whoever it is, they turned our sensei against us.
CRCole/Roly
And if we want to save him, we'll need to find out who this stranger is.
PIP.I.X.A.L./Seymour Skinner
Perhaps I could have that answer for you in a few moments.
PIP.I.X.A.L./Seymour Skinner
Hmm…
JHJay/Happy
It's obviously a clue, dirt clod.
CRCole/Roly
I know it's a clue, zap trap, but it's so small. I just want to know what—
NNNya/Norrie
Stop it, you two. P.I.X.A.L., can you analyze it?
PIP.I.X.A.L./Seymour Skinner
The sample is far too small, but given time, I should have an answer.
ZBZane/Betty
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.
NNNya/Norrie
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.
KTKai/Tag
Don't worry, sis, we'll get Sensei back.
CRCole/Roly
Watch your step, Nya. We don't know the last time this ladder was used.
NNNya/Norrie
That's thoughtful of you, Cole.
JHJay/Happy
Hey! How about you watch where you're watching, Cole? Huh?
CRCole/Roly
Oh, is that a threat, Jay? 'Cause coming from you, it sounds like some of your best material.
JHJay/Happy
Hahaha! There's a reason nobody liked you.
[Cryptor throws Nya to a wall]
CHCryptor/Horrid Henry
What is that perfume I smell? Fear?
NNNya/Norrie
Actually, it's called Damsel in Distress. But I don't think it suits me.
CHCryptor/Horrid Henry
You think you can mock me?
NNNya/Norrie
Of course. Doesn't everyone? I mean, even Min-Droid knows you're short of a hard drive.
CHCryptor/Horrid Henry
Min-Droid? That little piece of scrap isn't even fit to tighten my bolts. I've met toasters more intelligent than him.
[Min-Droid overhears Cyptor, walks over to him, and taps him on the shoulder. Cryptor turns around to see him, and Min-Droid punches him, allowing Nya to escape]
[The ninja, their allies, and the citizens attend Zane's memorial]
…But then I saw technology invent new problems. Devastating problems. And then a Nindroid named Zane saved us all. He was the perfect balance between us and technology. He taught us that life should be a balance. Technology can improve our lives, but so can people. And if we focus on one at the expense of the other, that's when the balance is off. Our city will find its way again, but this time with Zane as our compass. With that, I give to you… [reveals a statue of Zane] …the Titanium Ninja.
[The falcon flies in and lands on the statue's shoulder]
Nya
So, what happens after this?
And I don't care. Today's about Zane.
And now Kai would like to speak for those who knew him best.
Everyone wondered what powered Zane. I don't know if we'll ever know, but I'd like to think it was brotherhood. Because he powered me. And he'll still power me as his memory lives on. Ninja never quit, and ninja will never be forgotten. Wherever you are, Zane, you'll always be one of us.
[At the Samurai X Cave, Nya is rebuilding the Destiny's Bounty]
Nya
Sure, Jay's cute and funny, and I'm always laughing around him, but everything's about him, and he never takes me seriously. More light, please.
[wakes up from sleep and turns the flashlight on] Right. He never takes you seriously.
Nya
Then there's Cole. He's handsome, and I suppose I connect with him on a deeper level, but everything's so serious with him, you know what I mean? Socket wrench.
[gives Nya needle-nose pliers] Young emotions are...complicated.
Nya
Sensei, these are needle-nose pliers. I asked for a socket wrench. And could you at least try to impart some wisdom?
No way. I'm not sticking my finger into that beehive.
[a Kabuki starts fanning too close to him] If we're gonna convince anyone, argh, we need proof. Ugh. We need to, oh, find that spell. [to the Kabuki] Would you cut it out?!
[The Kabuki is revealed to be Nya]
Nya
Jay, it's me.
NGNinja and Garmadon
Nya?
Nya
Lower your voices. I'm undercover. And to be completely honest, a bit out of my element. And I heard what happened to Cole. That was big of you both.
Love is like war, Nya. Everybody gets hurt.
Nya
Dareth's also on the island.
[on a communication device] What up, ninja?
Nya
And in contact with Wu via mobile base.
If you're undercover, that means you can get close to Clouse's spellbook. All we know is that it's on page 149. I think he might have it in his quarters.
Nya
I'll look into it. And it sounds like you have your work cut out for you too.
Nya
How do you think they found out about your little alliance? Someone in your circle of trust is a spy.
[Garmadon and Nya wake up tied to posts]
Nya
Yes. What- what happened?
We have to get out of here.
[They try to break free of the chains. Chen and Clouse enter]
My pet loves the smell of fear.
Where's my son? What have you done with-
I have your son, but his power will be mine at the ceremony tonight. I'm sorry you didn't get an invite. I'm still a little hurt when my pupil decided to betray me so long ago.
Nya
But how did you defeat him?
[Kai walks in, looking ashamed and guilty. Nya gasps in shock]
You pitted the ninja against themselves, just as you did the elemental masters.
Nya
Why, Kai? How could you do this?
Chen holds all the power. Lloyd alone never stood a chance. I had to think about what was best for us. He'll let you go if-
Nya
I'd rather be snake food!
[Chen and Clouse laugh]
Or what? You've changed, remember? You're Sensei Garmadon. You're a good guy. Threats don't frighten me.
[Garmadon pushes Skylor away]
My pet may be napping, but she's always hungry when she wakes up.
You had a good run, Garmadon, but all good things must come to an end.
Chen and his Anacondrai army have a day's start on us. Be prepared for anything and everything.
How did we lose so much time?
You know, you took an oath never to leave a man behind.
And we're not all quick learners. Mastering your fear to create Power Dragons takes time.
Nya
Well, we're running out of that. There's Ninjago City. Hurry.
Remember, whatever happens down there, we're stronger united. We fight as one.
[Wu, Misako, and Nya arrive back at Steep Wisdom]
Nya
Who needs to go on an epic quest when my services are best needed here?
[whispers to Wu] You need to tell her.
And you waited this long to tell them about Morro, and how did that go? [to Nya] Nya, dear, we didn't exactly hold you back to care for the shop.
Nya
Really? Then why?
[sighs] Um, there's something I haven't told you about your parents.
Nya
Ah, you can save it. Kai already told me that Chen dangled that carrot too. We looked into it and we know our father used to be a Master of Fire. Not exactly mind-shattering.
But did you know your mother was the Master of Water?
Nya
I...I didn't know that. You mean—
Yes. As Kai took on the traits of your father to become a Fire Ninja, for the sake of saving Ninjago, you must train to become the Master of Water.
[Nya faints]
Huh, you're right. She wasn't ready.
[sees Nya] Oh, hey, sweetheart. Mind sticking around for a segment to teach girls how to apply makeup?
Nya
[angered] You're gonna need makeup when I rearrange your face! [walks over to punch Dareth]
[holds Nya back] Easy! [to Dareth] Nya's one of us now, there's no reason she should be treated differently.
No reason? You added a girl to the group. You know how much that hurts your image? You're a boy band, a hunk machine!
No, we're equals. Our power comes from no one being more important than the other.
Important? No. Irresistible... uh, debatable. [winks at fangirls at the doorway]
[chuckles] I don't tell you how to do your business, don't tell me how to do mine. Remember how every time you save Ninjago no one cared? Well, now Dareth's in charge and Dareth says don't change the recipe. You boys are the face of the franchise, and now the face of Teen Idol!
[He brings out a magazine with Lloyd on it and Jay and Cole on each side on a heart with Nya in it]
[reads the title] "Sensei Lloyd"? But I'm only a Sensei-in-training.
And what's this about me and Jay still fighting over Nya? That's old news.
Who cares if it's real or not? Isn't this what you've always dreamed of? You're the hottest thing in Ninjago!
[The ninja visit Lil' Nelson at the hospital]
As a part of the Grant-A-Wish Foundation, we dub you an Honorary Ninja for the Day.
NNelson
Could you stay to sign their casts?
Nya
Aw, I wish we could, but duty calls.
[looks out the window] Uh, not sure how far we'll get. Looks like we've got company.
[looks out the window and sees their fans] How'd they find us?
[on his phone] Reply. Of course I'm at the hospital. My hair is sick. Haha. Send.
Nya
Are you sending out a Chirp?
Uh, my followers have needs too.
