[through voicemail on the phone as Nya presses a button] Sensei, we're at Doomsday Comix. Garmadon's turned the others into kids and we're about to face a real life Grundle. If you get this message, this isn't a prank! Come quick!
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
[Wu and Nya are at a tea shop]
WWu
Hello, Mystake. We're looking for a special tea.
MMystake
They're all special, you old fool!
But this tea can turn someone... older.
MMystake
You're looking for Tommorow's Tea. I only have one in stock in back. Follow me.
[They go to the back room. Mystake turns the lights on while on a ladder]
MMystake
It should be here.
It's gone?
MMystake
Just misplaced. I know it's here somewhere.
WWu
We need to find that tea before it's too late.
[now older as his friends as they react in shock] I'm... older.
WWu
The time for the Green Ninja to face his destiny has grown nearer.
I'm ready.
[They prepare to leave the ruined building as Rufus stops Lloyd while holding a comic book]
RRufus
Here you go Lloyd. You can my have my copy of Starfarer. You deserve it.
That's okay. I already know how it ends. [leaves to catch up with the others]
WWu
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.
[Episode starts with the ninja about to train Lloyd in Destiny's Bounty]
WWu
Your new body is a fighting instrument. Listen to it.
[In slow-motion, Lloyd dodges each attack Cole and Jay make with his eyes closed, and as he avoids Zane's throwing shurikens, they hit a watermelon Nya is carrying]
[glares annoyingly at Zane for that; then to Wu] Since he's grown, he's learning faster, Sensei.
WWu
But will it be enough to challenge Lord Garmadon? Only time will tell.
[Kai draws his sword before Lloyd blocks it, he doesn't stop the attack and falls]
[chuckles] You're getting pretty good, but that move you fell for was basic 101.
Yeah, if I had focused more when I was little, I would've seen that coming.
WWu
We cannot change the past, but we can improve for the future. Again, and this time, do not hold back.
[shocked to see that Lloyd is now grown up after blasting ice powers on his Mega Weapon] Lloyd, is that you?
Yeah, I've grown a little since the last time you saw me, Dad.
[The ground starts to rumble and turn into sand]
What's going on?
Is the city sinking?
Worse. The city's returning back into the desert, as if it had never been found in the first place.
Uh, what? What does that mean?
What's happening?
Garmadon's gone back in time to make it so Lloyd never turns into the Green Ninja.
I can't... I can't feel my hands.
Uh. Ugh. We have to go in!
WWu
If he changes anything, he changes everything! Protect the future, ninja!
[As the ninja travel back in time to the past…]
CCole
Where are we?
You mean, when are we?
Four Weapons. Huh. My parents' shop. Nya and I used to work there. [realizes] Hey, wait a minute, this is the day Garmadon ordered the Skeletons to take my sister. We need to warn them!
CCole
Whoa, whoa! You heard what Sensei said, we change anything, we change everything.
Yeah, I was confused by that too.
What he means is, our world is the result of past events that have already happened. If for whatever reason events in our past fail to happen, then the future could radically change.
Uh, so what you're saying is we gotta stop Garmadon from changing anything? But of all the times, why did we land here?
'Cause this is where it all started. Today, I met Sensei Wu for the first time and I began my training as a ninja. Somehow, Garmadon is gonna try to prevent that, but how?
CCole
[sighs] If only Sensei were here to guide us.
[They see Past Sensei Wu walking up towards the weapon shop]
Oh look, there he is! Maybe he can!
CCole
We gotta tell him what Garmadon has done.
But we can't let the old Kai and Nya see that we talked to him, or else it will affect the future.
Hmm. I know exactly what to do.
Did we just, uh...?
Return to the future?
CCole
This feels familiar, but weren't we training Lloyd?
The future was altered and there is no Green Ninja.
[panting] Sorry I'm late, guys. Are we ready to get training?
Ha! You're still here!
Uh, yeah. Why wouldn't I be?
So when we went back in time and destroyed Garmadon's Mega Weapon, that didn't change anything?
My father has a Mega Weapon?
[with a watermelon] Oh, wait a minute, you've never heard of it? [slices the melon, giving everyone each a slice]
I-I think I would've remembered that. Why? What is it? Should I be concerned? [the others laugh] Hey, what are you guys laughing at? What's so funny? [carves a Dragon on his slice]
Hahaha, I think some things are best left in the past. Come on. Let's just prepare for the future.
I don't get it.
[The Stone Warrior breaks into the museum]
WHOA!!!! EXCUSE ME?! Will somebody please tell me: WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!!
[On the Bounty, the ninja, except for Jay, are trying to stabilize the ship]
CCole
Hold the line!
The winds are too strong!
We need everyone's help, Jay!
But I don't wanna get wet. I... I only have one pair of underwear.
Jay, this is no time to be making jokes. The Bounty can only take so much.
You think I'm trying to be funny? Okay, laugh all you want, but we'll see who laughs last when I have to go commando.
JJulien
A medallion. It's like a compass. When the three holes match up, the medallion will reveal where the temple is hidden.
Uh, how'd you know that?
JJulien
Oh, I did a lot of reading in my spare time. [chuckles] Adventure stories were my favorite.
[takes the medallion] Then what are we waiting for?
[The ninja get up, but Wu stops Lloyd]
WWu
Not you, Lloyd.
Ah, seriously? Are we still doing this?
Wu is right. If you were to come across your father, it could prematurely start the final battle. We need to be at full strength before we take any risks.
Hahaha. Jealous?
JJulien
Well, I could use some help around the shop. We should get working on vehicles that might help give us a fighting chance.
WWu
Remember, Garmadon doesn't know we're on the island. It's imperative that you stay out of sight.
Of course, Sensei. Don't worry. Have you ever known us to veer from a plan, huh?
[Lloyd, Wu, and Misako looks at them, unamused]
NENinja except Lloyd
Ninja-
WWu
Shh! Not so loud. Are you trying to get us caught?
NNinja
[quietly] …go.
[The ninja reach the top of the mountain and enter the Temple of Light]
[seeing some murals on the walls of their previous adventures] Guys, check this out. It's us.
Impossible. It's everything we've ever done.
CCole
Finding the Bounty, facing the (Great) Devourer, even right now.
How could it all be here?
Destiny. [A mural shows the ninja in a circle with Lloyd in the center] I think I know what we need to do.
This is all my fault. I should've taken the shot.
CCole
We're all at fault, kid. It's just the way the cookie crumbled.
Ah! Are you still making jokes? They have Nya, AND YOU’RE MAKING JOKES?!?! [furiously tackles Cole]
CCole
It was just a poor choice of words!
WWu
[just before Jay can punch Cole] Enough! We have lost enough! We don't need to lose our focus!
Forget focus. We have to get my sister.
By the time we get back up there, they'll be gone. We will get your sister, but the clock has reached a 0 and the Final Battle could start at any moment. We must head back to the Bounty to get prepared, so that next time, you will not hesitate.
WWu
Come on, Lloyd. Let's go home. You will get your chance.
[The ninja, Sensei, and Misako come across Nya, whose been corrupted with dark matter by Garmadon and the Overlord]
Nya!
WWu
That is no longer Nya.
[enraged] What did he do to my sister?!
He must've used the ultimate weapon to turn her into his own evil image.
WWu
Garmadon must have sent her to slow us down. We have to stop them from firing that weapon.
CCole
What are we supposed to do? Use our Elemental Powers on her?
No! I don't want to hurt her!
Jay's right! We just have to find a way to keep her from… [gets hit with a flail by his corrupted sister] Hurting us.
Well, we should think of something before Garmadon fires that weapon.
