Ninjago · Season 1
Zane!
Cole? You've returned.
[frees Zane] Of course I did. I made a promise. Now come here, you shiny new tin can. [hugs Zane] Can you feel the love?
No. But the longer we stand here, the shorter time we have to escape.
Ha! You know you were always the smart one. Let's go.
[Eyezor walks up to two Cultists, who are distracted by Dareth's music]
What are you doing?
I was, uh— I was headbanging.
Taking a break.
Have you checked out the waterfall?
Yeah.
Uh, yeah, it's beautiful.
So serene.
I meant for spies, you idiots! [chases them to the waterfall]
Yes, sir!
Right away!
Now, come on!
Hurry, the exit is just around the bend.
You go. I can't. A ninja doesn't save himself. He protects those who can't protect themselves. I have to go back. I have to go back and save them all.
And a ninja never leaves another ninja's side.
We'll get off this island one day, Zane. But it's either all of us or none of us.
What are you looking at, Zippy?
The next one out of the Tournament.
Uh, heh.
Why so scared to show us your back, Shadow? Worried we're gonna find a tattoo and know you're working for Chen?
I hope this next fight is between you and me, because I'm gonna put you on your back.
[Mr. Pale whistles flirtatiously at Skylor]
Do you mind?
Tensions are high.
Yeah, not as high as we are now. Can hardly see the island from up here.
Nya! Where are you? [hears someone behind him] Nya? Is that you? [sets his hand on Fire] Whoever's there, I'm fired up.
[Skylor comes out]
It's just me.
Oh. [puts out his Fire] I see you didn't pick up any of Chen's special treats either.
Of course not, like I'd ever trust him. And I wanna find her to help you get the spell and stop Chen once and for all.
Maybe we should be together. Aah, that didn't come out right, heh. I mean, it's a big island, so maybe if we were a couple— Argh! No. Uh, heh. What I'm trying to say, is, um...
You want me to help you find your sister. Of course, I'll follow you.
Heh, it's good to work with people you trust.
Yes, I couldn't agree more.
Father, I don't understand. You trained under Chen, yet you fought beside Wu in the wars. What happened to the truce?
When Chen said "Never trust a snake," he was right. The Serpentine struck first. The alliance of the Elemental Masters fought back. But they had never seen the likes of an Anacondrai warrior. They were bigger, smarter, natural leaders on the battlefield. The Anacondrai were a proud tribe who fought with every ounce of venom. There was no greater warrior in the land. And with them in command, they proved to be too much for the alliance to handle. Chen stood to gain more if he sided with the snakes and wanted me to help him. Though the evil in my veins tempted me, I wouldn't fight a war for him. I would only fight to see Misako again. From then on, Chen and I went our separate ways so that I could join my brother in battle. We were the sons of the First Spinjitzu Master. And together, with the Elemental Alliance, we stood a fighting chance. But Chen's influence changed all that. He found a way to turn the alliance against each other. The battle was all but lost. But in our darkest hour, we found hope. And hope found a way to end the war. The Serpentine were divided and locked away in tombs. Chen and Clouse were exiled. And the Anacondrai generals were given the strictest sentence: banishment to the Cursed Realm so that they will never set foot in Ninjago again.
Even after all this time, you never told Wu about your past with Chen?
What would I have said? I would have lost your mother, as well as my brother, not to mention—
Someone once told me you need to control your fear, and not let fear control you.
Hm, you're right. Once we put all of this behind us, I'll make things right. But first, we need to find Nya. Come on.
Okay, so maybe rolling ourselves up into giant egg rolls isn't the best plan. Anyone else have another idea?
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?
Of course.
Then it's set. Karlof and I will create a blueprint. Everyone else, find parts.
But… we're… underground!
[Skylor turns her head away from him] Go ahead and look away, but you know as well as I do. After he takes our powers, he's still gonna need yours.
You don't understand. My father gets everything he wants. I had no choice.
Just tell me one thing. Was it his idea to make me fall for you, or yours? Because it worked.
[Eyezor walks past two Cultists]
Would you look at that? If a foot soldier like Eyezor can move up the chain of command, why can't we? I mean, the guy's only got one good eye, and we each got two. We could spot a ninja twice as fast as he could.
But he's got a mohawk. And his name, Eyezor. It's got a real ring to it. And it's practical. You know, with his creepy sore eye and all.
That's it, that's it, we need names. We need something that'll make us, you know, stand out. I got it. Call me Kapau!
Oh, that's good. What should I be? Oh, I know. "Hey, who's that? It's Maleficium!"
Malefici—? That's a horrible name. I can hardly pronounce it.
Then how about, uh... Chope?
[sees Kapau and Chope talking] Hey! [walks over to them]
Chope? Yeah, I'm not gonna judge. Wait a minute, yes, I am. That is awesome!
Look out, world, Kapau and Chope moving up the ranks.
Yeah!
No talking on duty, minions.
Uh, it's actually Chope and Kap—
I said no talking!
[Garmadon and Nya wake up tied to posts]
Nya, are you alright?
Yes. What- what happened?
We have to get out of here.
[They try to break free of the chains. Chen and Clouse enter]
My pet loves the smell of fear.
Where's my son? What have you done with-
I have your son, but his power will be mine at the ceremony tonight. I'm sorry you didn't get an invite. I'm still a little hurt when my pupil decided to betray me so long ago.
But how did you defeat him?
Oh, I had a little help.
[Kai walks in, looking ashamed and guilty. Nya gasps in shock]
You pitted the ninja against themselves, just as you did the elemental masters.
Why, Kai? How could you do this?
Chen holds all the power. Lloyd alone never stood a chance. I had to think about what was best for us. He'll let you go if-
I'd rather be snake food!
[grabs Skylor] Untie us!
[Chen and Clouse laugh]
Or what? You've changed, remember? You're Sensei Garmadon. You're a good guy. Threats don't frighten me.
[Garmadon pushes Skylor away]
My pet may be napping, but she's always hungry when she wakes up.
You had a good run, Garmadon, but all good things must come to an end.
Hey, Chen! You forgot one element. The element of surprise!
[Skylor kicks Chen's staff away]
You betray me!?
Runs in the family.
Hurry, Kai. You must destroy the staff.
[corrupted by the staff] Chen was right. This thing's awesome!
Kai, it holds too much power! Destroy it! [to Skylor] The power is corrupting him. If we don't get that staff out of his hands—
No one is taking my staff! You had all that power. Now it's my turn! [back to normal] Ah, what am I saying? [corrupted again] Nothing I don't already feel!
Yes, yes. Embrace the power.
[normal] I can't... I can't control it! [corrupted again] I don't want to control it! I SHOULD'VE BEEN THE GREEN NINJA!
The palace and sleeping quarters are all clear. Still no sign of Chen and Clouse.
What about Skylor?
She wasn't able to pick her family, but she was able to pick her friends. And since you're her friend, that means so are we. We'll find her.
He's right. With no way off the island, it'll only be a matter of time.
[walks up to the Ninja] I'm proud of you five. You've done what the original Elemental masters never could: stick together. But you must not rest on your laurels, for your guard is down when you sleep.
[sees Garmadon as an Anacondrai snake and gasps] Snake among us! [readies his Lightning]
No, don't! It's my father.
First it was four arms, then you became a dragon. Would you mind picking a body and sticking with it, please?
[Kapau and Chope, now Anacondrai, are ecstatic]
Oh, man, look at you! You've got a tail!
No, look at you! You've got fangs!
You know what I'm thinking?
We're gonna need cooler names! [laugh]
[shoots fire at them] You're both still ugly.
