[Wu summons his dragon and finds Morro struggling to break free of the Preeminent's grasp]
Why, so you can take the Realm Crystal and use it to find your own prized pupil?
WWu
You are all my prized pupils, but none of us can do this alone. You're strong, Morro, but it takes others to make us stronger, even me. Take my hand, so we can be stronger together. Please, Morro!
[grabs Wu's hand, then glances at the water] You can only save those who want to be saved. Goodbye, Sensei. [gives Wu the Crystal before letting go, allowing himself to be pulled into the water, killing him]
WWu
[screams in despair] MORRO!!!
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.
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.
WWu
The rarest Yin-Yang eclipse.
SSaunders
Oh, poetic, is it not? Scary holiday, scary exhibit, scary moon, there is magic in the air.
WWu
[at the Monastery of Spinjitzu] An eclipse is always an omen, but is this one a sign of good...or bad?
[behind him] Bad. Very bad.
WWu
[turns to see Morro behind him] Well, my former student. How have you returned, Morro?
The question is not how, but why.
WWu
[wields his staff] We have fought twice before. And although it pains me, I will do so again if I must.
No, you misunderstand. I'm not here to fight you. I'm here to warn you. Master Yang has put your team in terrible danger.
He's made you forget one of your own, one who was already slipping away.
I will, but aboard the Bounty. We have to warn the others.
[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?
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?
WWu
[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?
WWu
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!
WWu
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]
Okay, Master Wu, you've had your tea. Now can we talk?
WWu
Ask any question you wish.
Who did we fight in the monastery?
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!
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.
Not just you you. Young you, too, Wu. Oh, that's a mouthful.
[Wu, P.I.X.A.L., and the ninja barge into the Commissioner's office]
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.
[Iron Baron and Wu are looking for the Dragon Armor in the First Realm]
Wait... I cannot see a cursed thing in here. [crashes into Wu and falls down] Where is this Dragon Nest? [gets back up with a torch in his hand]
WWu
[looks down] I believe we're in it.
[They see many dragons]
[gasps] They are all asleep. Your Oni blood does not disturb them. Your Dragon blood keeps them docile. Look! [they see the Dragon Armor] It's revealing itself to you. It wants to be found. [they both walk towards the Dragon Armor, reaching the base] Back away! It's mine! [The Firstbourne wakes up as he puts on the armor] Ah, yes, I have it! I wear the Dragon Armor! I command you, beast, destroy him!
WWu
You know, I've learned a lot of things since I came to this realm.
What are you babbling about?!
WWu
My ninja taught me responsibility, confidence, a sense of humor, and to listen to the voice within. But I also learned something from you.
Argh! Stand down! Kneel before me!
WWu
You taught me the power of lies. You didn't really think the Dragon Armor is what made Firstbourne obey my father, did you? It was because of his heart. She sensed goodness in him. What does she sense in you?
[In the Monastery, the ninja are talking to Wu]
I don't get it, Master. Why do we need a Spinjitzu lesson now? We're golden! Real True Potential stuff. Check me out! Jump up, kick back, whip around, and spi— Agh! [falls on his face]
WWu
Golden? Haha! There's more to Spinjitzu than spinning, kicking, and whipping. You have yourself just perfectly illustrated why it is high time for a reminder. Maybe we start with… balance, in Spinjitzu, as well as in life.
[Jay walks up to Wu, who is watching monks paint the murals]
Hi, Master. What's happening?
WWu
Oh, hello, Jay. Nothing much, except witnessing the birth of this historical—
Wow! Look at that! My Lightning Jet! Remember how cool that was? All I had to do was swing my nunchucks around and...
WWu
Uh, yes, the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu. Each possessing the power of Creation, forged by my father, the First Spinjitzu Master. In the molten steams of the Golden Peaks.
[The ninja are relaxing in a hot tub]
Kai, a little heat, please.
[He summons a flame and sticks it in the water. The ninja laugh and sigh]
[slurps from his guzzler hat] Ah, this is the life!
We heard it, pal. Fighting all those bad guys, saving Ninjago.
[They look up as a crash is heard]
WWu
I can't believe we're back to this.
WWu
After every big victory, you get lazy, complacent, careless.
We're recovering. We're resting our muscles.
WWu
I am! Look at yourselves! You've gone soft. You do nothing all day but play video games, and eat cake, and soak in this... this...
[looks around the water] Hot tub?
WWu
[enraged] IT'S NOT A HOT TUB! It's the sacred Bell of Divinity! Out! Out! All of you! [the ninja all complain at once] Emergency meeting in the monastery, in three minutes!
[Wu is meditating in front of his incense candles in his quarters as Lloyd comes in]
Master? [waits for a reply] Is it okay to speak? I don't want to interrupt if you're meditating. [pauses] You're meditating. I'll wait.
[Wu peeks at Lloyd as he looks around. Eventually, he decides to meditate as well. Lloyd peeks at Wu, then sighs impatiently. He then gets up, accidentally kicking Wu's candles. Wu opens his eyes and closes them irritably. Lloyd coughs, and Wu gives up]
Me and the guys decided we're going on a quest. To get back in shape and hoard our ninja skills?
Yeah, except, um, the thing is, we can't think of a quest. We were hoping you had a quest tip.
Suggestion? Idea? For a quest?
WWu
Have you become so lazy, you can't even find something to do on your own? Don't come to me for a quest tip! Go out and find a quest! Adventure does not come to the idle, it comes to those who seek it! So seek!
Right. O-okay. We'll seek.
