00:00:00,958 --> 00:00:02,958
[calm music]

2
00:00:05,791 --> 00:00:09,081
Are you seriously
playing video games right now?

3
00:00:09,166 --> 00:00:12,376
It's my day off.
Why wouldn't I be playing video games?

4
00:00:12,458 --> 00:00:16,458
We've been gone for weeks, Cole,
and this Monastery won't clean itself!

5
00:00:16,541 --> 00:00:19,131
We've got laundry to do,
leaves to rake, firewood to chop,

6
00:00:19,208 --> 00:00:20,828
and don't even get me started

7
00:00:20,916 --> 00:00:22,826
on repairing the sentry cannons
outside the wall.

8
00:00:22,916 --> 00:00:26,126
[sighs]
That sounds like a lot of work.

9
00:00:26,208 --> 00:00:27,498
Sure you don't want to play?

10
00:00:28,083 --> 00:00:29,173
Did you just hear me?

11
00:00:29,250 --> 00:00:30,790
Cole, we've got a ton to do and...

12
00:00:31,458 --> 00:00:33,538
Wait... What game is this?

13
00:00:33,625 --> 00:00:34,955
Prime Empire.

14
00:00:35,750 --> 00:00:36,710
What?

15
00:00:36,791 --> 00:00:38,211
What "what"? What's wrong?

16
00:00:38,291 --> 00:00:39,331
Oh, nothing.

17
00:00:39,416 --> 00:00:42,126
Except we were just trapped
inside that game and got cubed!

18
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:44,328
[8-bit game music]

19
00:00:44,416 --> 00:00:45,286
[slurps]

20
00:00:45,375 --> 00:00:47,245
You need to let go of the past, Lloyd.

21
00:00:47,333 --> 00:00:49,213
Anyway, it's totally safe.

22
00:00:49,291 --> 00:00:52,671
Unagami and Dyer worked out the kinks
and it's really fun.

23
00:00:52,750 --> 00:00:54,210
Look, I gotta concentrate.

24
00:00:54,916 --> 00:00:56,376
Just about to beat this level.

25
00:00:59,791 --> 00:01:00,631
[sighs]

26
00:01:02,291 --> 00:01:05,131
[groans]
I guess one game wouldn't hurt.

27
00:01:05,208 --> 00:01:07,708
[Jay] Oh, how are there this many leaves?

28
00:01:07,791 --> 00:01:09,831
I don't even see any trees.

29
00:01:10,416 --> 00:01:11,956
They blow over the walls, Jay.

30
00:01:12,041 --> 00:01:13,711
And we've been gone awhile.

31
00:01:13,791 --> 00:01:16,711
Aspheera's invasion,
our little trip to the Never-Realm,

32
00:01:16,791 --> 00:01:18,791
being stuck in Prime Empire.

33
00:01:18,875 --> 00:01:21,205
[sighs]
This will take forever to clean up.

34
00:01:22,666 --> 00:01:24,246
Unless...

35
00:01:24,333 --> 00:01:25,213
No!

36
00:01:25,291 --> 00:01:26,881
Don't get any ideas.

37
00:01:26,958 --> 00:01:29,498
What? We could be done instantly!

38
00:01:29,583 --> 00:01:33,583
If Master Wu sees you using Spinjitzu
to take short cuts like raking leaves,

39
00:01:33,666 --> 00:01:35,246
he's going to be furious!

40
00:01:35,833 --> 00:01:36,963
Oh, he won't know.

41
00:01:37,041 --> 00:01:39,081
He's been locked in
with his scrolls all day.

42
00:01:39,166 --> 00:01:40,326
-Please don't.
-[whooshes]

43
00:01:40,416 --> 00:01:42,666
-[screams]
-[Jay] Woo-hoo!

44
00:01:43,250 --> 00:01:44,500
Nice!

45
00:01:44,583 --> 00:01:45,963
[Jay laughs]

46
00:01:48,458 --> 00:01:49,668
[both gasp]

47
00:01:49,750 --> 00:01:50,580
[clears throat]

48
00:01:50,666 --> 00:01:52,376
Master Wu. Sorry!
[chuckles]

49
00:01:52,458 --> 00:01:55,538
I got all hopped up on dreams
of efficiency and, uh...

50
00:01:55,625 --> 00:01:56,825
[Jay] What?

51
00:01:56,916 --> 00:01:58,746
Huh. That was weird.

52
00:01:59,333 --> 00:02:01,833
Master Wu
just totally passed up an opportunity

53
00:02:01,916 --> 00:02:03,246
to lecture you on something.

54
00:02:03,750 --> 00:02:06,330
Yeah, he didn't even notice.

55
00:02:07,375 --> 00:02:09,375
[mailman groaning]

56
00:02:11,416 --> 00:02:13,416

57
00:02:14,208 --> 00:02:15,708

-[groaning continues]
-[electric zapping]

60
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,830
-[Pixal] Good morning.
-[mailman] Good morning!

61
00:02:32,208 --> 00:02:33,958
-[sighs sharply]
-[Lloyd] Master Wu?

62
00:02:34,583 --> 00:02:35,673
Is everything okay?

63
00:02:36,208 --> 00:02:39,248
Nya and Jay said
you seemed a little... distracted.

64
00:02:39,833 --> 00:02:40,833
What?

65
00:02:40,916 --> 00:02:43,036
Oh, no. I'm fine.

66
00:02:43,125 --> 00:02:44,825
Just reading a scroll.

67
00:02:45,416 --> 00:02:47,326
You haven't even unrolled it.

68
00:02:47,416 --> 00:02:49,376
[Lloyd] You were staring out the window.

69
00:02:49,875 --> 00:02:51,325
[Misako] I've noticed it too, Wu.

70
00:02:52,333 --> 00:02:54,333
-Misako?
-Mom!

71
00:02:54,875 --> 00:02:56,325
You've been quiet lately.

72
00:02:56,416 --> 00:02:57,916
You haven't been yourself.

73
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,830
Are you sure nothing's bothering you?

74
00:03:00,833 --> 00:03:02,043
[sighs sharply]

75
00:03:02,125 --> 00:03:03,325
Perhaps I'm...

76
00:03:03,875 --> 00:03:05,455
How should I put it?

77
00:03:05,541 --> 00:03:08,421
Feeling my age a little bit.

78
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:10,130
Your age?

79
00:03:10,208 --> 00:03:12,628
But, Master, that's ridiculous!

80
00:03:12,708 --> 00:03:14,328
You don't look a day over a hundred.

81
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,830
That's not old!

82
00:03:17,416 --> 00:03:20,286
And besides, you're the most
skilled fighter I've ever seen!

83
00:03:20,375 --> 00:03:23,205
You know more about Spinjitzu
than the rest of us put together!

84
00:03:23,291 --> 00:03:25,541
You fought all of us at once
and kicked our butts!

85
00:03:25,625 --> 00:03:26,455
Remember that?

86
00:03:26,541 --> 00:03:28,541
Yes. Yes, I do.

87
00:03:29,375 --> 00:03:30,535
That was fun.

88
00:03:30,625 --> 00:03:32,785
We couldn't have saved Ninjago
all these times

89
00:03:32,875 --> 00:03:34,665
without your help, Master Wu.

90
00:03:34,750 --> 00:03:37,290
[Master Wu]
Saving Ninjago is for the young.

91
00:03:37,916 --> 00:03:40,206
[sighs]
And your last few adventures,

92
00:03:40,291 --> 00:03:42,581
you did just fine on your own.

93
00:03:42,666 --> 00:03:44,416
That's not true.

94
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:48,500
You handled yourselves admirably
in Prime Empire without me.

95
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,670
And against Aspheera,

96
00:03:51,208 --> 00:03:52,578
and in the Never-Realm.

97
00:03:53,708 --> 00:03:57,038
The truth is,
you don't need me anymore, Lloyd.

98
00:03:57,541 --> 00:03:59,421
That is not true!

99
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,630
It's okay, Lloyd.

100
00:04:02,625 --> 00:04:05,205
All masters face this moment eventually.

101
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:08,710
The time when their students
no longer need them.

102
00:04:13,041 --> 00:04:14,501
[Kai] This is incredible!

103
00:04:14,583 --> 00:04:16,463
Are you sure this isn't a mistake?

104
00:04:16,541 --> 00:04:18,291
[gasps]
It's real!

105
00:04:18,375 --> 00:04:19,455
It's gotta be!

106
00:04:19,541 --> 00:04:20,961
It's addressed to us, look!

107
00:04:21,041 --> 00:04:23,211
What? What is it? Bad news?

108
00:04:23,291 --> 00:04:25,211
It is highly unusual.

109
00:04:25,291 --> 00:04:26,791
Ooh, we gotta get ready!

110
00:04:26,875 --> 00:04:27,875
What? What happened?

111
00:04:27,958 --> 00:04:29,958
Someone's located the Teapot of Tyrahn?

112
00:04:30,041 --> 00:04:32,381
Uh, Pythor's back?
My father's been found? What?

113
00:04:32,458 --> 00:04:34,418
[mailman chuckles]
You got an invitation.

114
00:04:34,916 --> 00:04:36,126
To Shintaro!

115
00:04:36,625 --> 00:04:37,785
Shintaro?

116
00:04:37,875 --> 00:04:39,825
Mm-hmm, the Ivory City!
[chuckles]

117
00:04:39,916 --> 00:04:43,206
You don't deliver one of these every day.
No, sirree.

118
00:04:44,791 --> 00:04:46,211
-[crackling]
-[Jay chuckles]

119
00:04:46,791 --> 00:04:48,501
Fancy card!

120
00:04:49,291 --> 00:04:51,881
That's the fanciest card I've ever seen.

121
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:53,668
[sniffs, moans]

122
00:04:53,750 --> 00:04:55,500
It even smells good.

123
00:04:55,583 --> 00:04:57,083
Shintaro?

124
00:04:57,625 --> 00:04:59,575
As in Shintaro?

125
00:04:59,666 --> 00:05:03,706
As in the remote and exclusive
mountain kingdom of Northern Ninjago.

126
00:05:03,791 --> 00:05:06,751
Invitations to Shintaro
are exceedingly rare.

127
00:05:06,833 --> 00:05:07,963
In recorded history,

128
00:05:08,041 --> 00:05:10,081
there have only been
a handful of outsiders allowed

129
00:05:10,166 --> 00:05:11,286
into the Ivory City.

130
00:05:11,375 --> 00:05:12,915
I've heard it's incredible!

131
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,330
It's the most beautiful city in the world.

132
00:05:15,416 --> 00:05:18,286
And the people have wings.
[laughs]

133
00:05:18,375 --> 00:05:19,575
You can't beat wings.

134
00:05:19,666 --> 00:05:21,746
What's it say? The invitation?

135
00:05:22,333 --> 00:05:23,173
[Jay clears throat]

136
00:05:23,250 --> 00:05:26,080
"King Vangelis
of the Northern Kingdom of Shintaro

137
00:05:26,166 --> 00:05:27,076
of the Sky Folk,

138
00:05:27,166 --> 00:05:30,246
kindly requests your presence..."
of course he does,

139
00:05:30,333 --> 00:05:32,923
"...as honored guests..."
oh, that makes sense,

140
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,920
"...to celebrate the birthday
of the princess, Vania."

141
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,880
Princess Vania? Who's that?

142
00:05:37,958 --> 00:05:40,418
Apparently, the daughter of King Vangelis.

143
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:42,380
Little is known about Shintaro.

144
00:05:42,458 --> 00:05:45,748
Up until recently,
it was still considered a mythical place.

145
00:05:46,541 --> 00:05:48,671
[chuckles]
Well, it looks like we're going to see it.

146
00:05:48,750 --> 00:05:49,630
In person!

147
00:05:49,708 --> 00:05:51,748
[all cheering]

148
00:05:51,833 --> 00:05:53,213
-Let's go!
-Ooh, I'm gonna pack!

149
00:05:53,291 --> 00:05:54,501
[Kai] Let's get the Bounty ready!

150
00:05:55,208 --> 00:05:56,878
What's this about Shintaro?

151
00:05:56,958 --> 00:06:00,288
We've been invited
to the Kingdom of Shintaro

152
00:06:00,375 --> 00:06:02,125
to attend Princess Vania's birthday.

153
00:06:02,208 --> 00:06:04,248
Master Wu, this is just what you need.

154
00:06:04,333 --> 00:06:05,713
This'll get you out of your funk!

155
00:06:05,791 --> 00:06:07,831
I'm not in a "funk."

156
00:06:08,458 --> 00:06:10,078
And I'm not going.

157
00:06:10,166 --> 00:06:12,666
I'll stay here with Misako and Pixal.

158
00:06:12,750 --> 00:06:14,750
I can assist her in the Hangar Bay.

159
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:16,883
[whispers]
He's in a funk.

160
00:06:16,958 --> 00:06:18,538
But how often does the chance

161
00:06:18,625 --> 00:06:21,415
to visit a legendary fabled kingdom
come your way?

162
00:06:21,500 --> 00:06:25,670
I've visited my share
of legendary fabled kingdoms.

163
00:06:25,750 --> 00:06:28,040
Once you've seen one,
you've seen them all.

164
00:06:28,750 --> 00:06:30,920
You go. Enjoy yourselves.

165
00:06:31,625 --> 00:06:33,825
You don't need me tagging along.

166
00:06:33,916 --> 00:06:35,576
[Misako] Now, you listen to me, Wu.

167
00:06:35,666 --> 00:06:38,286
I've had about enough
of this moping around.

168
00:06:38,375 --> 00:06:40,535
You are going with the Ninja.

169
00:06:40,625 --> 00:06:44,075
I can't go charging off
to far flung places!

170
00:06:44,166 --> 00:06:47,206
Adventures and legendary kingdoms
are for the young.

171
00:06:47,708 --> 00:06:50,168
You of all people should understand that.

172
00:06:51,791 --> 00:06:54,581
Why should I understand?

173
00:06:54,666 --> 00:06:58,496
Uh... What I meant to say was, um...

174
00:06:58,583 --> 00:07:00,083
You listen to me, Wu.

175
00:07:00,166 --> 00:07:04,036
You are going on this journey
and you're going to like it.

176
00:07:04,125 --> 00:07:05,415
Is that understood?

177
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:06,920
But... But I...

178
00:07:07,583 --> 00:07:08,793
The chicken need--

179
00:07:08,875 --> 00:07:09,995
Understood?

180
00:07:11,416 --> 00:07:12,416
He's in.

181
00:07:12,958 --> 00:07:13,998
Yes!

182
00:07:14,083 --> 00:07:16,883
This is going to be just what we need!

183
00:07:18,375 --> 00:07:20,035
[bird screeches]

184
00:07:24,166 --> 00:07:27,166
[Zane] Though my optic circuits
are inputting full visual data,

185
00:07:27,250 --> 00:07:31,460
somehow the zeros and ones of my code
cannot convey the grandeur of this moment.

186
00:07:31,958 --> 00:07:34,168
Yeah, it's like... Like...

187
00:07:34,875 --> 00:07:36,745
Totally super cool!

188
00:07:36,833 --> 00:07:39,133
That really captured
the moment beautifully, Jay.

189
00:07:39,208 --> 00:07:40,248
Thanks.

190
00:07:40,333 --> 00:07:43,213
It really is beautiful,
isn't it, Master Wu?

191
00:07:43,291 --> 00:07:44,581
[sighs]

192
00:07:44,666 --> 00:07:48,496
Yeah, beats doing chores
back at the monastery, that's for sure.

193
00:07:48,583 --> 00:07:50,253
[dire bats growl]

194
00:07:50,333 --> 00:07:51,543
[gasps]
What... What was that?

195
00:07:51,625 --> 00:07:53,455
There is something you should know.

196
00:07:53,541 --> 00:07:56,131
Early accounts
of the mythical city of Shintaro

197
00:07:56,208 --> 00:07:57,918
claimed that the mountains surrounding it

198
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,460
were home to a vicious species of bat
called a dire bat.

199
00:08:01,541 --> 00:08:02,501
Dire bat?

200
00:08:02,583 --> 00:08:04,503
There is much debate among historians

201
00:08:04,583 --> 00:08:07,213
as to whether dire bats
are real or fiction.

202
00:08:07,291 --> 00:08:08,631
[Jay blows raspberry, laughs]

203
00:08:08,708 --> 00:08:10,168
That's gotta be made up.

204
00:08:10,250 --> 00:08:12,000
-Huh? Ah!
-[growls]

205
00:08:12,083 --> 00:08:14,253
Not made up! Not made up! Not made up!

206
00:08:14,333 --> 00:08:15,793
-[screams]
-[growls]

207
00:08:15,875 --> 00:08:16,995
Jay!
[gasps]

208
00:08:17,666 --> 00:08:18,496
[groans]

209
00:08:19,958 --> 00:08:21,168
[Nya screams]

210
00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:22,670
[grunts]

211
00:08:24,250 --> 00:08:25,080
[screeches]

212
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,130
Ugh! They're trying to take us down!

213
00:08:32,208 --> 00:08:34,668
[grunts]
Shoo! Shoo, bats!

214
00:08:35,958 --> 00:08:37,958
[suspenseful music]

215
00:08:39,458 --> 00:08:41,128
I'm coming for you, buddy!

216
00:08:42,250 --> 00:08:43,290
[grunts]

217
00:08:45,416 --> 00:08:47,286
[grunting]
Wait! Hold on!

218
00:08:47,375 --> 00:08:48,625
Can we be friends?

219
00:08:48,708 --> 00:08:50,128
[snarls]

220
00:08:51,041 --> 00:08:52,881
[screaming]

221
00:08:54,583 --> 00:08:57,383
[grunting]
You owe me!

222
00:08:57,458 --> 00:08:58,578
[snarls]

223
00:08:58,666 --> 00:09:00,626
[both scream]

224
00:09:02,333 --> 00:09:03,583
[screaming continues]

225
00:09:04,458 --> 00:09:05,748
[grunts]

226
00:09:05,833 --> 00:09:07,713
Jay, Cole! Grab the line!

227
00:09:07,791 --> 00:09:10,251
[both grunting]

228
00:09:11,833 --> 00:09:13,133
[both sigh sharply]

229
00:09:13,208 --> 00:09:14,128
-Huh?
-[snarls]

230
00:09:14,916 --> 00:09:17,706
[Nya] What do we do? How do we stop them?

231
00:09:17,791 --> 00:09:19,211
Use your Elemental Powers!

232
00:09:19,291 --> 00:09:20,791
[Lloyd] Master Wu!

233
00:09:20,875 --> 00:09:21,785
[loud thud]

234
00:09:25,916 --> 00:09:28,166
[grunting]

235
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,790
-Nya!
-Hang on!

236
00:09:38,916 --> 00:09:39,916
[both shriek]

237
00:09:41,083 --> 00:09:42,083
[Cole grunts]

238
00:09:42,166 --> 00:09:43,826
[all groaning]

239
00:09:43,916 --> 00:09:45,576
Brace for impact!

240
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:50,330
[creaking]

241
00:09:51,333 --> 00:09:53,333
[light music]

242
00:09:58,083 --> 00:10:00,083
-How?
-Uh, guys...

243
00:10:00,791 --> 00:10:02,421
You're not gonna believe this.

244
00:10:06,583 --> 00:10:08,673
[Hailmar] Greetings, honored guests!

245
00:10:08,750 --> 00:10:10,420
I am Hailmar.

246
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:12,670
Right hand of King Vangelis.

247
00:10:12,750 --> 00:10:15,750
I welcome you to the Kingdom of Shintaro.

248
00:10:16,333 --> 00:10:17,883
You just saved our lives!

249
00:10:17,958 --> 00:10:19,708
It is the least we could do.

250
00:10:19,791 --> 00:10:22,041
The dire bats are a plague.

251
00:10:22,125 --> 00:10:25,075
They are one of the many reasons
we discourage visitors,

252
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:26,706
for their own safety.

253
00:10:26,791 --> 00:10:30,081
But come, let us put our woes behind us

254
00:10:30,166 --> 00:10:33,916
and welcome you
to the Ivory City of Shintaro!

255
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,130
[bright music]

256
00:10:36,208 --> 00:10:38,958
Well, you don't see that every day.

257
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
[closing theme music]
