Welcome to the Tournament of Elements. Now everyone can all di—[the door suddenly closes and everyone gasps] —rect your attention to me!
[whispering to Lloyd] I forgot to mention he has a penchant for theatrics.
[laughs] Never before have so many Elemental Fighters been under one roof. I see Master of Fire, Earth, Shadow, Speed, even a prophesied Green Savior. And a former pupil has returned. [points to a gong] This symbol before you is for the Anacondrai, fiercest Serpentine warrior to ever roam this land. Its creed: "Only one can remain."
[The gong moves aside, showing brackets]
Good, looks like we're each in our own bracket. We won't have to face each other for a while.
Better find Zane before that happens.
[presents a Jadeblade] Behold, a Jadeblade. Here, it represents life. Obtain it, move on. Allow your opponent to take it, loser. The rules are simple. Every match will be different. No two fights will be the same. Your powers will keep you in the Tournament. Use it or lose it.
KarlofHm, what does Karlof win?
Win and stay on the island. Win it all, and you'll receive fortunes beyond your wildest dreams, and lifetime supply of Master Chen noodles. But no one is here because of noodle. You want the glory of being the greatest fighter in all of Ninjago!
[The Elemental Masters, except the ninja, cheer]
And what happens if they lose?
Lose? Who here likes to lose? [everyone else laughs, except the ninja] Now please, enjoy my island. It's a super fun happy place. Hahaha. Fun time on me.
[locked up in a dungeon] You can take my clothes and my power, but you'll never take my super strength! [tries to break the bars to no avail] Alright, so you got that too. [Clouse opens the door] You're letting me go?
Of course not. Your presence is required in the factory.
The factory!? Lock me up for all I care. I'm never gonna lift a finger for you, you despicable- Ah! [Clouse and Zugu take him into the factory] A noodle factory? Ha, why didn't you say so? This is my kind of place. Look, that's how they make the noodles. Oh, and that's the dumpling machine. And is that how you make fortune cookies? Haha! [turns to a worker] You know there's a fortune in those, right?
There's only one rule: no eating the merchandise. [leaves]
No eating the merchandise? How cruel can this place be!? [runs over to Zugu] You're evil!
[He tries to eat a fortune cookie, but Zugu takes it from him]
ZZugu
[eats the fortune cookie] Mm, yummy.
Karlof
Don't worry. After while, not so bad. Since you new, I show you how to chop noodles. [Cole pulls the wrong lever, dropping flour on another worker] Not that one. [Cole pulls the right lever] See? Chop. Now don't make trouble.
JJacob
Well, I for one don't like following rules. The minute you tell me the coast is clear, I'm busting out of here.
Karlof
Even if you get past the guards, Mr. Blind Guy, there's still the labyrinth guarded by big snake.
JJacob
My name's not Mr. Blind Guy, it's Jacob. And you may have already lost hope, but not me and not my buddy Cole here. Am I right?
Actually, I'm on your left.
JJacob
Oh, heh, you moved on me. Sneaky ninja.
[At the factory, Zugu leaves. Jacob takes his chance to escape. Cole is about to follow him, but Karlof stops him]
Karlof
Make noodles, not trouble.
[Jacob makes it to the door and opens it to reveal Clouse and Zugu about to come in. Cole tries to warn him, but Karlof covers his mouth. Zugu grabs Jacob]
JJacob
Hey! Not one of you could've warned me?
Make an example of him. Take him to feed my serpent.
[Clouse and Zugu take him into the dungeon]
Feed his serpent? He doesn't mean—
Karlof
Karlof not make trouble. Karlof make noodle.
[He pulls a lever that dumps flour on Cole]
[coughs] I'm so not into this dumpling dump after all.
[In the factory, Cole is whistling]
Karlof
Why you whistle? Yesterday Cole was sad. Not today. What changed?
Things are looking up, Karlof. We came here to find a friend, and I found him. All I gotta do now is get Zane and bust him out.
Karlof
Not so easy. Chen's made it nearly impossible to escape this place.
I'm still working out the details, but Zane's a Nindroid, a walking computer. If I can get to him, he'll solve anything Chen throws at us in no time.
Karlof
Karlof wished he had friend like that.
But first order of business, I gotta let the others know I'm busting him out. [puts a piece of paper in a fortune cookie]
Karlof
You put message in cookie?
I know, right? That's why it's called a fortune cookie.
Karlof
Well, if you get out, don't forget about Karlof.
Yeah, sure, of course. [turns to an Anacondrai Cultist with a tray of fortune cookies] Special order for the banquet's ready.
[The cultist takes the tray]
Karlof
I hope you have the good fortune for it to end up in the right hands.
You and me both, Karlof. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get out of here.
Okay, so maybe rolling ourselves up into giant egg rolls isn't the best plan. Anyone else have another idea?
Karlof
Karlof used to be aeronautical engineer back in Metalonia. Work on Roto Jets. Just one could take out entire army.
Oh, great idea. But two things, we don't have a Roto Jet, and what good is a jet if we're UNDERGROUND?!
[on the conveyor belt] Okay, don't mind me, carry on whatever important business you're all doing.
Sure, we were only using that to hatch our escape. Dareth, what are you doing?
Well, if there isn't a machine that makes puffy potstickers, by golly, I'm gonna make one.
That's it! Dareth, you've solved it.
How are puffy potstickers gonna help us?
We'll use machine parts to build the Roto Jet. Karlof, do you still remember the schematics of it?
Karlof
Of course.
Then it's set. Karlof and I will create a blueprint. Everyone else, find parts.
We all have this power inside of us. But you have to see that it's not the Anacondrai we're afraid of, it's our doubt. Divided, we failed. But together, we will succeed.
[All the Elemental Masters summon out their own Elemental Dragons]
Karlof
Metal!
Karlof
Metal dragon make Karlof very happy, happy.
The battle of our past has returned, but we will rise to meet that challenge!
Chen brought us here so that only one would remain. Well, we are one!
