You trapped Jay inside Zane's head?
NyaDon't be dramatic. I merely digitized Jay's mind and uploaded him into the processing center of Zane's memory core.
You just took what I said and added a bunch of big words. Sounds like you want me to possess Zane. Like— Like a ghost.
Nya
Not a ghost. Your body will be resting comfortably in a Borg reclining terminal until you get back.
I still don't like it, but I'll do it for Zane. Let's go!
Ugh, we still don't know who's behind this, and Cole gets to fight a dangerous monster while I'm cooled up inside Zane's mind trying to solve a puzzle.
It's a Ninjigma. Heh! You're just mad because I'm gonna solve it first.
Nya
Need I remind you boys that whoever is hacking Zane could be listening to our every word? I say we show them that they messed with the wrong Nindroid!
[slowly] Do you need me to talk slower, Kai?
Borg may have created the Digiverse with good intentions, it was taken over by the Digital Over-Over-Over-Over—
Nya
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.
Nya
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.
Nya
What's the next puzzle?
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!
Nya
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?
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!
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.
Nya
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!
I have been running logic scenarios since we began the puzzle, and Fire is a 99.9 percent match.
Nya
That's three votes for Fire. Me, Jay, and Zane.
We did it! The answer was Fire.
The answer was never not Fire!
I just wanted to be sure.
Nya
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.
Nya
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?
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?
Proximity alarm. Something is approaching the Bounty fast.
Nya
Onscreen.
Oh. He must be here to help us out.
I'm afraid that is unlikely.
Because my system is overrun.
You're making no sense, P.I.X.A.L.. What are you talking about?
This would be a good time to make a minor confession… I am Samurai X.
Nya
How is that possible?
How can you be Samurai X?
Nya
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]
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]
Nya
Commissioner!
Sorry to barge in, but it's really quite urgent.
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.
You've... you've changed.
So have you. I don't wanna have to fight you. [Garmadon attacks him] Please, this isn't you.
You have power. I didn't come to fight you. My father is somewhere in there. I've saved you once. I'll save you again.
There is nothing left to save! I've played many roles. Worn many masks. Father. Husband. Brother. Teacher. But only one was summoned back: Destroyer!
But listen to me. You don't have to do this. Harumi's using you as a pawn.
You are the pawn, a pawn to your own foolish hopes.
You wouldn't hurt me, your son.
PAPast Aryan
Everything was just a trap.
Nya
So that means...
PAPresent Aryan
The Second city war... has just begun.
Those who cannot change, cannot change anything.
Lloyd, you speak of change, but look what you've become. Nothing but a beggar in rags.
You took my friends from me, so I took yours.
[The Resistance surround Harumi]
Nya
Who's the beggar now?
[Jay is busily typing on the UHF. He looks around cautiously, sees Garmadon inspecting the buttons and yells in surprise before walking to the other ninja]
Am I the only one freaking out about this?!
[sarcastically] Why freak out? Our deranged, psychotic, arch-nemesis is now our house guest.
I find the term "Freak out" inadequate and imprecise. I prefer to say I am deeply troubled.
Nya
[whispers nervously to Lloyd] Lloyd? Are you sure he can be trusted?
Of course not?! That's not what you're supposed to say! You're supposed to say "yes."
What choice do we have? If Master Wu is right, and we're under attack by the Oni, then my father may be our best chance. And anyway, he doesn't have his powers back, so how much trouble can he really cause?
The Oni entered this realm through a portal or rift between our world and theirs. There are only one or two ways this is possible. And, I'm willing to wager, it would've been through the Realm Crystal. To stop this darkness from spreading, the crystal must be destroyed.
The Realm Crystal is currently housed in the new high-security vault, below Borg Tower.
Nya
That's smack in the middle of Ninjago City!
Uh, we just escaped from there, remember? It's engulfed in a giant, black cloud of destruction, and now you're asking us to turn around and go back?
I asked nothing. I am telling you that if you wish to stop the darkness, the crystal must be destroyed.
And I'm telling you, forget it! Just one of those black cloud tentacle things touched my foot for a second, and nearly froze me solid! We wouldn't last a minute inside the darkness.
That is correct. You are merely human. I, however, am Oni. I can enter the darkness, make my way to the crystal, and destroy it. I will, of course, require a weapon.
Do you really expect us to just hand you a sword and let you go?
If you wish to live, yes.
Well, forget it! No way! I wouldn't trust you with a… a… a-
A pillow! [Cole, Jay, Nya and Lloyd look at him disapprovingly] It's the most harmless thing I could think of.
[Kai, Jay, and Nya run up to check on Lloyd, and Zane checks on P.I.X.A.L.]
P.I.X.A.L.! Are you okay?
[Zane lifts the cover and P.I.X.A.L. crawls out]
So am I. Nobody has to worry about me.
[sees the other ninja sad] What? What is it? [notices Cole's missing] Where's Cole? [the other ninja look away] Where's Cole? [grabs Kai] Somebody say something! Where's Cole?!
Lloyd, he fell... into the cloud.
AAryan
What are you talking... (He realises now) (Shocked) NO! He's not...?
Nya
[about to cry] I... I'm so sorry.
[saddened] He's... He's really... gone?
Nya
It was my fault. I pulled the thrust lever the wrong way, and... [starts crying]
[Jay and Kai comfort her]
It wasn't your fault, it was an accident.
It could have happened to anyone.
[Lloyd looks down in sadness, but Garmadon interrupts their moment]
Yes, I do. We are wasting valuable time! [holds up the Golden Armor] All that matters now is this.
What about the Realm Crystal?
[sighs] It didn't work, but this will! They fear it.
Cole was our friend. He was more than a friend, he was family! But you don't understand that, do you? Oh, what's the point? You're never gonna get it! Because you don't care about anyone but yourself!
[angrily] Every moment you delay risks our survival!
[screaming angrily] There's more to life than SURVIVING!! AUGH!! [stomps off in anger]
How do you reason with that? [turns to Zane] You, Nindroid, if any of you are capable of logical thought, it is you. Tell them!
[upset and angry] I'm happy to say, you are mistaken. At this moment, even I am incapable of logical thought.
[He walks away, P.I.X.A.L. and the other ninja following. Garmadon stares in surprise]
[At the back of the Bounty, Nya is crying over Cole's fall]
[opens the door] Hi, sis. You okay?
Nya
[trembles] No.
Nya
I just can't help thinking, if only I'd pushed the handle the right way.
[sits next to her] Hey, it was an accident. Cole loved you like a brother. I mean, a sister. I mean a— [sighs] …you know.
Nya
I just... can't believe he's gone.
Neither can I. But Cole would want us to keep fighting. And you're the brains here, sis, so...
Nya
Me?
You're the one who's always building everything and coming up with all the plans, you and Zane, and Zane's not much use at the moment.
Nya
Yeah. Right. Okay, let's set a course for the Monastery of Spinjitzu. It has a forge.
Nya
To melt down the Golden Armor. Kai, the Golden Armor was forged out of the Weapons of Spinjitzu, so...
Nya
So if we can melt it down and forge it back into weapons, we can use those to fight the Oni!
Ha, no hat's a great idea. I'll tell the others. [realizes something] W-w-w-wait, the Weapons of Spinjitzu were forged at the Temple of Light. You can't just go to any old blacksmith.
Nya
I'm not. I'm coming to you.
Me? Uh, are you crazy? I'm a terrible blacksmith, remember? You used to tell me that all the time.
Nya
You're the Elemental Master of Fire, Kai. Your fire can melt down the armor. You're the only chance we have.
So a future of all Ninjago depends on my blacksmithing abilities?
Nya
Yup, pretty much.
