PIP.I.X.A.L./Seymour Skinner
Welcome to Borg Industries. I'm P.I.X.A.L., Cyrus' Primary Interactive X-ternal Assistant Life-form. I'm sorry to hear about the traffic accident.
CRCole/Roly
Wow, news travels fast.
PIP.I.X.A.L./Seymour Skinner
Everything in New Ninjago City is fully automated and interconnected. [turns to Zane] Your antiquated bus should be ready shortly. You are Zane, a droid like me. What does Zane stand for?
ZBZane/Betty
I stand for peace, freedom, and courage in the face of all who threaten Ninjago.
JHJay/Happy
She means your name, tin head.
ZBZane/Betty
I guess I'm just Zane.
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.
PIP.I.X.A.L./Seymour Skinner
[on the Prototype X-1 roadster's speakers with Kai] There's a Nindroid convoy heading west and General Cryptor is on it.
PIP.I.X.A.L./Seymour Skinner
We need you to follow, but not be spotted.
KTKai/Tag
I'm a ninja. That's part of the job. [puts on some sunglasses]
PIP.I.X.A.L./Seymour Skinner
We mean it, Kai. It's imperative your carelessness does not jeopardize the mi—
KTKai/Tag
[puts P.I.X.A.L. on mute] Relax. When have I ever been careless?
PIP.I.X.A.L./Seymour Skinner
I'm reading Zane's signal aboard that rocket ship, along with four other lifeforms.
WDWu/Duggee
Oh, by the grace of the First Spinjitzu Master.
GHGarmadon/Homer
You wanted them to take risks. To see how far they'd go. Is this what you had in mind? How far? How far must they go?
WDWu/Duggee
[looks up at the rocket launching into space; hopefully] Come back safe to us, ninja. Come back safe.
[The ninja are flying on their Elemental Dragons looking for a mutant Fangfish over the Endless Sea]
Getting ahead of yourself, Kai? Heh, I'm leading this charge.
[gets splashed with water by Lloyd] Aah!
[laughs] That's one way to cool off a hothead.
Hey, no one messes up my hair! [splashes water]
[Zane spits and coughs up water]
Affirmative. It'll take more than a little water to take me out.
[sees the Fangfish] Oh, what about a big fish? Incoming!
PIP.I.X.A.L.
Based on its weight and size, this is the mutant Fangfish terrorizing the coastal village and depleting their food source.
P.I.X.A.L. says this is the one.
And now that he's taken the bait, let's reel him in and get him to the aquarium.
Let me guess, Kai, you caught one that big once?
Heck no. He was twice the size. [the Fangfish lunges at him] Whoa!
He's almost as hungry as you, Cole.
And twice as ugly as you, Jay.
It's time for the catch of the day. In line formation!
[They line up their dragons]
[They split up, making the fish land in a boat, and the ninja cheer]
Now that's what I call hook, line, and stinker!
[The ninja come across by looking at a giant portrait of Young Garmadon and Wu fighting together in a battle]
Look at them, my father and my uncle, Ninjago's two greatest Elemental Masters. I wonder if I'll ever live up to their legacy.
First Kai and Nya, now Lloyd. It's family picture day at the museum.
Does anyone recognize this battle?
PIP.I.X.A.L.
Facial contour mapping indicates this scene takes place 40 years ago during the Serpentine Wars.
During the Serpentine Wars? But Ninjago was at peace. Who would they be fighting?
[Zane and Kai are fighting the Mechanic]
PIP.I.X.A.L.
Zane, Master Lloyd requires Kai and your attention in Ninjago City.
PIP.I.X.A.L.
It appears so. Did I catch you at a bad time?
MMechanic
Hot off the press. The Mechanic is back, Ninjago.
Ugh, whoever said "Fight fire with fire" didn't know what they're talking about.
We will be there shortly.
MMechanic
Watch out for the crossfire!
Hey! You're stealing my lines!
[freezes the Mechanic] Who likes ice cream? I do! How was that for a last line, Kai? Can we leave now?
[also frozen] Needs a little work. Gonna have to give me a minute to thaw though. Heh.
PIP.I.X.A.L.
Proximity alarm. Something is approaching the Bounty fast.
PIP.I.X.A.L.
It is Samurai X.
Oh. He must be here to help us out.
PIP.I.X.A.L.
I'm afraid that is unlikely.
PIP.I.X.A.L.
Because my system is overrun.
You're making no sense, P.I.X.A.L.. What are you talking about?
PIP.I.X.A.L.
This would be a good time to make a minor confession… I am Samurai X.
How can you be Samurai X?
PIP.I.X.A.L.
Zane, may I ask you something?
You have half my heart. You can ask me anything.
PIP.I.X.A.L.
Was I more... useful... inside the computer?
What sort of question is that?
PIP.I.X.A.L.
You can be honest with me, because I want to be a useful member of the team, but I would prefer not to return to the computer. I like having a body, but if you require my assistance in your headset-
The choice has always been yours, P.I.X.A.L.. And I for one like seeing you like this.
[Wu, P.I.X.A.L., and the ninja barge into the Commissioner's office]
PIP.I.X.A.L.
So good to see you.
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?
PIP.I.X.A.L.
Pardon? Do you 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.
[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?
PIP.I.X.A.L.
I am unhurt.
[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...?
[about to cry] I... I'm so sorry.
[saddened] He's... He's really... gone?
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]
Are you sure this isn't a mistake?
[gasps] It's real! It's gotta be! It's addressed to us, look!
What? What is it? Bad news?
What? What happened? Someone's located the Teapot of Tyrahn? Uh, Pythor's back? My father's been found? What?
PPostman
Heh, you got an invitation, to Shintaro!
PPostman
Mm-hmm, the Ivory City! You don't deliver one of these every day. No siree.
That's the fanciest card I've ever seen. Oh, it even smells good.
Shintaro? As in, Shintaro?
PIP.I.X.A.L.
As in the remote and exclusive mountain kingdom of Northern Ninjago.
Invitations to Shintaro are exceedingly rare. In recorded history, there have only been a handful of outsiders allowed into the Ivory City.
I've heard it's incredible! It's the most beautiful city in the world. And the people have wings. Haha! You can't beat wings.
What's it say? The invitation.
[reads the invitation] "King Vangelis of the Northern Kingdom of Shintaro of the Sky Folk, kindly requests your presence…" Of course he does. "…as honored guests…" Oh, that makes sense, "…to celebrate the birthday of the Princess, Vania."
Princess Vania? Who's that?
Apparently, the daughter of King Vangelis.
Little is known about Shintaro. Up until recently, it was still considered a mythical place.
Well, it looks like we're gonna see it. In person!
[The ninja cheer]
Let's get the Bounty ready!
What's this about Shintaro?
We've been invited to the Kingdom of Shintaro, to attend Princess Vania's birthday. Master Wu, this is just what you need. This will get you out of your funk!
I am not in a "funk", and I'm not going. I'll stay here with Misako and P.I.X.A.L.. I can assist her in the hangar bay.
[whispering to Misako] He's in a funk. [to Wu] But how often does a chance to visit a legendary fabled kingdom come your way?
I've visited my share of legendary fabled kingdoms. Once you've seen one, you've seen them all. You go. Enjoy yourselves. You don't need me tagging along.
Now, you listen to me, Wu. I've had about enough of this moping around. You are going with the ninja!
I can't go charging off to far-flung places! Adventures and legendary kingdoms are for the young. You of all people should understand that.
[glaring angrily] Why should I understand?
[realizes his error] Uh, w-what I meant to say was, uh, um -
You listen to me, Wu. You are going on this journey, and you are going to like it! Is that understood?
But- but I- the chicken need-
Understood!? [to Lloyd] He's in.
Yes! This is gonna be just what we need!
[P.I.X.A.L., Wu and the ninja arrive at the harbor]
PIP.I.X.A.L.
Zane, would you do the honors?
[Zane presses a button and the Hydro Bounty emerges from the water. The ninja gasp]
How did you build this so fast?
PIP.I.X.A.L.
I had been tinkering with it in my spare time over the past several years.
It's amazing, P.I.X.A.L..
PIP.I.X.A.L.
I am proud to say it is one of the most sophisticated vessels I have designed, and is practically unsinkable.
You know what happens when you call a vessel unsinkable, right? Oh, it doesn't sink, of course.
