[The ninja are crossing a bridge]
The Tiger Widow's den should be just up ahead. Watch your step.
You don't have to tell me twice.
[sighs] Just how am I supposed to extract this dangerous venom? Can I ask it nicely?
NyaWell, maybe if Zane hadn't been captured, we would have a Nindroid around to tell you.
Ooh, that's a low blow. I mean, do we know anything about this Tiger Widow, other than it was named to strike terror in the hearts of men?
Zane told me it's the last of its species. So it sounds like you've only got one chance at this. But I'm sure you'll be just fine— What are you doing now?
[on what seems to be a hammock] Resting my feet on this hammock. We've been walking for miles. If I have to face this thing alone, I'm gonna need to be well-rested.
Jay, I don't think that's a hammock.
[notices he's on a giant spider web with a skeleton on it] Aah! Get it off me! Aah! Get it off of me! Get it off of me! [gets out and spits out the webbing]
Nya
We have to keep moving.
[groans] Haven't I suffered enough?
NCNya, Cole and Lloyd
No!
[Lloyd comes back after flying over the Endless Sea on his dragon]
You okay? Did you see any land?
Just water. I tried to reach the mainland, but it's too far. We won't be able to get off this island on our own.
[Cole laughs]
Nya
What's so funny about our predicament?
Oh, I was just thinking about what Jay might say to that. [raises his voice to sound like Jay] "YOU'RE TELLING ME WE WENT THROUGH ALL THAT TROUBLE TO GET THE VENOM TO STOP NADAKHAN, AND NOW WE HAVE NO WAY TO GET OFF THIS ISLAND?!" [normal voice] Heh, gone one day and I already miss him spazzing out.
Nya
Me too. After he lied to us, I was so hard on him. And now he's captured and all alone. Some friends we are.
Hey, Jay's strong. We'll get him back. It's like what Wu once told me, if you want something bad enough, you find a way to make it happen.
He's right. If we can't fly off this island, we'll build our way. I've seen enough movies to know it's possible.
And if we've built a rocket off an asteroid, what's one raft a little—
Nya
Across an endless sea filled with unknown creatures that wanna eat us?! Uh, that was my Jay impression. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get building.
One more round of palm ties, and I'd say she's secure enough for sea.
Nya
Why is it all sea vessels are shes?
I don't know, because it takes a lot of paint to make them look good?
[Cole and Lloyd laugh but stop when they see Nya glaring at them]
Oh. [turns his laughter into coughing]
I kid, I kid. Lighten up, water lily.
Nya
I get it. My personal mission to rid the world of its prejudices is wearing thin.
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.
Nya
Memories.
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?
Nya
Him and his goons tried to send you to the Departed Realm with magic blades?
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?
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?
Nya
[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.
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.
Nya
It's just an expression, Zane.
[staring at a familiar painting] I... I don't believe it.
Nya
What is that?
[The two siblings stand in front of a painting of their parents]
I think it's a portrait of... our parents.
Nya
[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.
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.
Nya
They left us our powers.
[On the Bounty, the alarms are going off]
Um, weren't we just outside? When did we get here?
Nya
How did we get here?
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?
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.
No, it's not. I've always had sensitive ears and—
I meant, I think I know how we suddenly appeared on the Destiny's Bounty.
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?
Precisely. Whatever created that displacement can warp the very fabric of space-time.
Which is powerful, right?
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?
Nya
Or was it Krux?
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.
Nya
But Dr. Saunders said the Hands of Time were a myth.
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?
[carrying Nya's Samurai X suit] When I asked if you wanted to "hang out" I meant play video games or something, not pack and ship your Samurai X suit back to the cave. [Nya looks at her helmet, he sighs] You gotta let it go. You're the Water Ninja now.
Nya
I know, but it's hard. I only inherited my Water power. Samurai X is something I actually created, with my own hands.
[takes Nya's hands] These hands?
[Nya smiles. Kai comes into the room]
Whoa! Sorry! [covers his eyes] Didn't mean to interrupt! Heh, I didn't see anything!
Nya
What's up?
[still covering his eyes] Something you need to see. Hurry! [runs into the doorway] Ugh.
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.
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.
Nya
I'm sure he has a good reason.
Well, I'm glad you're sure.
One question: How are we supposed to get to the museum? Our vehicles got trashed by the snakes.
Uh, we have the Supersonic Raider Jet.
Uh, actually, hehe, my dad's still kind of working on that. We can take the Lightning Bike.
Nya
Kai and I have our old bikes.
Well, I was saving this for your birthday, but… [presses a button, revealing a new ship] The Destiny's Shadow.
Oh, come on! First Jay, now Lloyd? Does everyone get a new ride for their birthday!? [notices everyone else staring at him] Uh, I said that out loud, didn't I?
Long story, but we're back in time. Forty years. When you, Garmadon, and the Elemental Masters fought Krux and Acronix at the monastery. Only this time, the good guys are losing.
Nya
We have to help you.
Not just you you. Young you, too, Wu. Oh, that's a mouthful.
[In the Samurai X Cave, Zane is hooked up to a computer and shows clips from the ninja's adventures]
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.
Nya
This is what you wanted help with? I didn't know Nindroids kept diaries.
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.
Nya
I should've brought popcorn. Now let's make history.
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.
Nya
How about "Nya, future Master of Water, the original Samurai X, expert mechanic and pilot, not just Kai's sister and Jay's girlfriend?"
Nya
We're looking for an aircraft and you think boat?
Nya, we've been on at least two flying pirate ships.
Nya
You have a point. So many of the vehicles we've encountered have been... unconventional.
What about my Storm Fighter?
Nya
How is that unconventional?
It's not, I just really love it.
Nya
Stop suggesting your own vehicles!
Nya
Or your parents' vehicles.
Nya
You're not helping.
Sorry. I thought it would be easier to recognize a blueprint for a vehicle I was familiar with.
