A character in Ninjago
[Prologue]
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. So I, Sensei Wu, his brother, sought out to find four ninja to collect them first.
There comes a time when we all must grow up. When that time comes, it's important not to forget the lessons of our childhood because our childhood is the greatest training one can ever have. Yes, the time until the final battle has grown shorter, but the Green Ninja has grown stronger.
The past is our guiding light—or our journey into the future will be shrouded in darkness. This mural will remind and help us remember. It is our collective history captured in a single image. Only the most essential—uh, this has no historic significance. [points to the Earth Driller] Who told you to put that there?
On second thought, leave it be. It's just an Earth Driller. What harm can it do?
Sensei... I've been thinking.
Yes?
How did Garmadon gain control over the Underworld's Skeleton Army?
Hmm... Garmadon and I were brothers and the best of friends, but then he turned, and fell.
So how did Garmadon gain control over the Underworld?
[diverting the flashback] I don't know, I expect they just sat down and agreed over a nice cup of tea.
[A flashback shows a younger Garmadon trying to steal the Golden Weapons. Wu, also younger, catches him in the act]
I'm afraid those are for display only.
[Garmadon slowly turns around to Wu. His skin is pale and he has red eyes, having succumbed the Great Devourer's venom]
Hmm... tell me, what good is a weapon if all it's used for collecting dust?
Don't be a fool! Father warned that their power's beyond any one man—
Father was the fool!
How dare you speak so lowly of Father! We made him a promise. These weapons shall not leave this Monastery!
Then I shall destroy it, and all who stand in my way!
[Back to reality]
After Garmadon's fall, the balance of the elements was restored and Ninjago enjoyed many years of peace.
[riding his Lightning Dragon] Woo hoo! Sensei, look! No hands!
Apparently, those days are over.
[chuckles] More or less.
[The episode begins at the Monastery of Spinjitzu with Wu meditating. He overhears the Ninja making combat sounds]
[off-screen] Fire strike! Oh, my gosh, is that the greatest move you've ever seen?
[off-screen] Stop trying to do it yourself. We need to attack as a team.
[Wu goes to the training compound and finds that none of the Ninja are training there]
Zane, why are you wasting your special attack on me? You have to save it. [Wu goes to look for them in a different room and finds them playing video games] Fantastic! I'm out of lives!
But the lesson lives on, and I am getting the hang of it. Hee-yah!
Okay. Now!
[As the Ninja continue with their game, Wu unplugs the television. The ninja groan]
Aw, man!
What? What happened?!
It took us three hours to get there.
Why would you do that? Why?!
Just because Lord Garmadon escaped through a vortex doesn't mean he won't return one day for the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu!
But Sensei Wu, ever since he's been gone, Ninjago has had nothing but peace.
Yeah. Peace is boring. There's no one to save. There's nothing to do.
We can train tomorrow.
Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today.
Well, I was gonna eat this pizza tomorrow. So if that's the case… [Wu kicks the pizza slice out of his hand] OW!
NO PIZZA FOR YOU! In order to reach your True Potential, YOU MUST TRAIN!
Uh, remember when we did a little thing called the Tornado of Creation? I thought that was pretty insane.
[sighs] You four have merely scratched the surface of your full potential. There are still so many secrets you have yet to unlock. You haven't even begun to tap into what powers your Golden Weapons hold. [Kai's sword is shown to be burning a pizza slice]
You wanna talk secret powers? Check this out. [uses his scythe to plug back the television so that the Ninja can resume their game]
Don't worry, master. We will be ready when Lord Garmadon returns.
[Nya runs into the room]
Guys! Lord Garmadon! He's returned! He was spotted approaching Jamanakai Village!
[The ninja struggle to prepare for the mission, Nya gives Jay his nunchucks]
Uh, thanks, uh, uh, uh...
Hurry!
Okay!
[The Ninja rush to the dragon stables to mount their dragons, but are unfortunately not as fit as they think they are. One of the stall doors hits Zane's head. Cole drops his weapon when mounting on his dragon. Jay attempts a stunt to mount his dragon, but overshoots it a little, landing on the ground instead]
[watches Kai mount his dragon] Uh, can I help?
Sorry, sis. Where we go, danger abounds. This is a job for the Ninja. [fails to reach his dragon's reins] Uh, uh... a little help? [laughs nervously]
[Nya shakes her head and hands him the reins, the ninja then proceed to fly off to Jamanakai Village on their dragons]
Will they ever reach their full potential?
In time. Maybe a long time, but in time.
[At the Monastery of Spinjitzu, Wu is meditating. He hears the ninja arguing offscreen]
My turn! It's my turn!
Oh, you want a little more? Take this!
Yeah? How about a little of this?
Monkey paw to the head!
Ninja, roll!
[Wu goes to the video game room only to find that none of the ninja are there]
Dragon punch!
[Wu goes to the training compound and is surprised to see the ninja are actually training. Jay is deflecting arrows with his nunchucks, Cole is practicing on the dummies, Kai is practicing his Spinjitzu and Zane is meditating]
Ninja, go!
[Zane suddenly gets up from his meditation process and jumps in front of Jay]
Hey! Huh?
[Zane steals Cole's Scythe for the dummy test]
Hey! What?
Ninja, go!
[His Spinjitzu freezes the whole compound]
[slips] Woah. [falls] Oof.
[Kai, Jay and Cole regroup]
This roof isn't big enough for the four of us.
Correction: This roof isn't big enough for him.
It's like he's in his own world. [raises his voice] I BET HE CAN’T EVEN HEAR US!
[Wu approaches the three ninja]
Sensei, Zane's... weird.
What is weird? Someone who is different or someone who is different than you?
No, Sensei. He's "weird" weird.
[Flashback. Zane enters the bathroom where Cole is doing some private business]
[embarrassed] Do you mind?!
[Flashback again. Jay, Nya, and Zane watching a sad romantic movie. Zane starts laughing. Flashback again. Kai is going to the fridge, only to find Zane inside]
Ahh! Holy bologna!
I'm sorry. I consumed the last of the deli meat. Cheese?
[Flashbacks end, back to present]
We like the guy. He's really smart. He's just... [sighs] a little off sometimes.
Zane is a brother and brothers are often different. I should know.
[When the ninja return to the Monastery, they see it burnt down, covered in flames]
We're too late. Those snakes.
[The Dragons cry for help]
Rocky!
[He quickly releases the Dragons for them to gain some fresh air]
Our home.
Shard! Put this out!
[Shard freezes the flames]
The training equipment, gone.
Our video games, gone!
They stole their staff back.
What do we do now?
[Kai's sadness turns to anger as he turns to Zane]
If you hadn't followed that silly bird, none of this would've happened!
Kai…
No, Sensei, he's right! [to Zane; sharply] Because of you, my high score has been deleted!
This is a teaching moment. We must learn from this.
A teaching moment?! What's wrong with you?! Don't you get it?! EVERYTHING IS GONE!
Enough! [Kai, Cole and Jay turn to look at him] We're all at fault. Zane is your brother. Apologize at once.
[On the Destiny's Bounty, the ninja are sleeping]
[banging a gong, waking the ninja up] Evil doesn't sleep and neither should you! [the ninja groan as they wake up] In order to reach your full potential, we must greet each day as an opportunity.
[gets up] Okay, okay, we're up. But if you want us to reach full potential, shouldn't we at least get a full night of rest?
You call that a rest? I think my back has more lumps than the mattress.
We were up so late, talking about how cool it is to have a new headquarters, I guess we lost track of time. Since the Serpentine burned down our monastery, I'm just glad we have a roof over our head.
What is our lesson today, Sensei? Mastering the strike of the Scorpion? Or perhaps the grace of— [the ground breaks and he coughs]
I think today's lesson would be chores.
Chores?!
Ninja fight, Sensei. They do not clean.
In order to respect ourselves, we must respect our new home and where we are from. And this place is a long way from becoming a ninja headquarters. I expect things to be spotless when I return. And put your backs into it.
[he and Edna leave] Bye, son. I couldn't be more proud.
And bring Nya with you, will ya? I can see why you like her.
Mom…!
Now that they have left, perhaps Jay can teach us the art of… kissing pillows. [snickers]
[embarrassed] Argh!
[Everyone else laughs]
What was so important to ignore my teachings?
Uh, nothing.
It was nothing, Sensei.
Yeah, we don't talk while you teach.
Everyone was paying attention.
Since you all appear to be lacking in focus, then you can all share in the punishment.
What?
Punishment?
It was all Zane.
I was merely answering their questions.
No free time and no video games. The rest of the day can be used for training. And tomorrow, for that matter.
Training? For how long?
Until you can answer this simple riddle: what is the best way to defeat an enemy?
Easy, with a sword.
Your fists.
Spinjitzu.
Tornado of Creation?
[sighs] Pace yourselves. You have a lot of training ahead of you. Make sure you sharpen your mind as well as your Spinjitzu. [walks away]
Ugh. What's the best way to defeat an enemy? It could be anything, ugh!
Come on, guys, we're smart. We can figure this out.
Yeah, but let's hear more about this dream.
Let me just say, the Green Ninja is awesome.
[On the Bounty, the ninja tell Wu they solved his riddle]
Oh. You must have found the answer to what is the best way to defeat an enemy.
We have, Sensei. It's— On three, guys. One, two...
Teamwork!
Is this what you all think?
Yeah.
Yes!
Absolutely.
Sadly, you are all wrong.
Come on.
[Kai groans]
Aw, man.
I'm starting to think whoever figures out this riddle can be the Green Ninja for all I care.
