ANNOUNCER: Previously on Ninjago:
I just want you to know that you're a good guy.
Ah...
PIXAL: They've mined Sensei Wu's memory.
The Overlord knows all of your hiding places.
LLOYD: What are you guys gonna do?
NYA: We're gonna shut down the power.
JAY: Wouldn't that mean Pixal too?

[ANNOUNCER READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]
GARMADON: We underestimate
the importance of balance.
When it's there, we're at peace.
If something is off, everything falls.
[LLOYD GRUNTS]
Ninjago is no different.
It put too much faith in technology,
allowing the Overlord to return.
And because of your friends,
now the world is without power.
When one relies on something too much,
we become weak, vulnerable,
imbalanced.
[BIRD CRIES]
In order to find your full potential
and unlock your true power,
you must find your own balance.
LLOYD [STRAINING]: I'm already the Gold Ninja,
how much more power do I need?
You've only scratched the surface.
You have the potential to move mountains.
The power of the First Spinjitzu Master.
The ninja destroyed the power substation,
essentially destroying the Overlord
and his nindroids.
Why can't we go back?
GARMADON: Essentially?
Until the Overlord is fully erased from the system,
we must not go back, but forward.
Whoa!
[LLOYD SIGHS AND GRUNTS]
If you can't move mountains,
I guess we'll have to move over mountains,
[LLOYD SCREAMS]
Oh, yeah?
And this next one looks particularly steep.
[BIRD CRYING]
Over here! I found him!
[CYRUS BORG MOANS AND SIGHS]
Are you all right, Mr. Borg?
Yes, yes, but how long have been I out?
RESCUE MEMBER 1: Quite a while, sir.
We've been without power for a few days.
The hard drive. It's missing!
Have the ninja returned with the Techno Blades?
Please, it's very important.
Uh, no, there's been no one else inside the building.
Wu...
He was right here.
Where did he go?
And who would take the hard drive
when the Overlord virus is still on it?
Oh, so many questions, so few answers.
[***]
[GASPS]
OVERLORD: Where am I?
The ninja destroyed all of the power.
How have you saved me?
STRANGER: Electro-cobrai.
Though they're extremely rare,
they're extremely useful.
OVERLORD: Who are you? What do you want from me?
STRANGER: Nothing but a small favor after returning you to power.
You do still want to become flesh,
if I'm not mistaken?
OVERLORD: Yes, of course.
But I need the Golden Ninja.
STRANGER: You'll get your hands on him in time.
Our power is limited,
and we must be wise in our next step.
Ninjago is vast
and the Golden Ninja could be anywhere.
Yet still,
the ninja have the only weapons that could erase you.
The old man knows everything about the ninja:
all their secrets,
all of their hideouts.
He will find them in no time.
OVERLORD: Yes. Yes!
[***]
[COLE GRUNTING AND GROANING]
We've been digging for so long,
I think I forgot what we're looking for.
A jiggly compact compress converter.
Or was it a compress compact jiggly converter?
Whatever it is,
if it can help us get back to New Ninjago City any sooner,
it's worth finding.
[BOTH SCREAM]
We shut off the power, thinking we could just waltz in,
but no, we didn't stop to think
we were a bajillion miles away.
Hey! A compact converted jiggly compressor!
Hoah. Great find, kiddo! Now all we need
to adapt that HoverCopter's power supply to solar power
is an upside down router derouter-ma-bob
and a whiz-bang automated amplifier.
[BOTH GROAN]
I'm starting to think they're just making this stuff up.
[***]
[HUMS]
[SIGHS]
You sure you wanna to do this?
Modifying your original design could have...
unintentional consequences.
She risked her life for me,
it's the least I could do to get her back.
[GASPS]
Where am I? What happened?
You gave me half your power source.
My processor does not compute.
You are the only one who knows Borg's system.
You are vital to the mission.
And... you are vital to me.
Ooh... Robot love.
Call me a sucker,
but if they've got half of what you and Jay have...
Nya and Jay?
Judging from Perfect Match compatibility,
perhaps Nya and Cole would be a closer comparison.
Uh, Nya and Cole are a better match?
Don't you mean Jay?
Perhaps her processor was damaged.
My processor is fully operational.
The Perfect Match for Nya isn't Jay, but Cole.
[JAY STAMMERS]
Cole's her perfect match?
Jay...
Heh! It's so quiet in here.
What'd I miss, another signature Jay Walker gut-buster?
Uh... You backstabbing, no good--
[GRUNTS]
COLE: What's wrong with you?
KAI: I hope Lloyd is faring better than us.
Hey, who needs bridges
when you can manifest a Golden Dragon--
You rely too much on your golden power.
Let this be a lesson. Center yourself,
and move the mountain with your mind.
What?
Move That? Are you kidding?
GARMADON: Find your balance.
Concentrate.
[SIGHS]
[LLOYD GRUNTING]
LLOYD: This is pointless.
Especially when I can do this...
[LAUGHS]
I'm not the First Spinjitzu Master,
and I never wanted to be.
I'm the Golden Ninja.
[SIGHS]
I know, I was once like this too.
Oh! You know why you're the Black Ninja?
'Cause it's the color of your heart.
Oh yeah? Well, what's the point
in being a Blue Ninja?
Unless you're trying to hide out
in some goofy clown college.
Ooh! You take that back!
There are reputable performers
that attend clown college.
[***]
[GRUNTS]
I don't see why you want to settle this arm-wrestling.
You know I have super strength.
Oh, yeah? Well, I'm super hooped.
And I haven't brushed my teeth in a week.
[EXHALING] [GROANS]
[BOTH EXHALING] This macho stuff
is making you both look like fools.
[EXHALES]
NYA: Maybe you belong together!
What was that?
The machines haven't worked since the outage.
What's powering it?
KAI: Nindroids!
The better question is, what's powering them?
ALL: Whoa!
They're after the Techno Blades.
[LAUGHS EVILLY]
[ALL YELLING]
Yeah, well, they almost hit my mother!
Oh, don't worry about us, sweetie.
We prepare for every type of situation.
Did you make one for me?
Um, sorry, honey.
You hardly ever come to visit.
Yeah, good luck, kiddo.
Eh, watch over the junk while we're gone, will ya?
[YELLS]
I blame you for this. What did I do?
You were the one who wanted to stay
at a junk heap full of nindroids.
Enough, you two.
We may not have our elemental powers,
but we still have our spinjitzu.
Are you gonna be okay?
I may not be built to fight,
but my protective reflexes should suffice.
Great, 'cause you're gonna need 'em.
[NINJAS GROAN]
NINJAS: Ninja, go!
Uh-oh!
[ZANE GRUNTS AND GROANS]
I couldn't do spinjitzu.
Your heart... Dividing it
must have inhibited your fighting ability.
Guess I have poor timing.
[***]
JAY: We have to help Zane!
Finally, something we agree on.
[***]
COLE & JAY: Whoa!
[COLE & JAY GRUNT]
We're trapped! Oh!
And with my own worst enemy!
[EXHALES]
[WHIRRING]
Ugh. I'm too cute to be squashed!
Hey, someone stop this thing.
Bad nindroid. Bad nindroid.
They're trapped.
[COLE & JAY SCREAM]
Sensei? What have they done to you?
[GRUNTS] [GROANS]
[SCREAMS]
[GRUNTS]
Nya, you have to stop the junk compactor.
I'm on it!
[GRUNTS]
Oh, no.
Someone stop this thing!
[GRUNTING]
Oh, I can't override it!
JAY: Well, you better, cause if you don't,
Cole and I are gonna get real close.
You said we belong together,
but not permanently!
I'm not... strong enough.
[GRUNTS]
[GASPS]
Seriously, a blue or black wire?
I have to cut one of these wires
to shut it down, but cut the wrong one,
and it may crush you guys instantly.
Oh, choose blue, Nya! You know blue.
You're comfortable with blue!
Choose black. Black is not blue!
Oh, I'm gonna turn you black and blue!
No time for that.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[GRUNTING]
I thought you were supposed to be strong.
And I thought we were a team.
Black or blue?
Uh, why is it so difficult to choose?
Just cut one already!
[GASPS]
[GRUNTS]
[YELLS]
Zane!
[LAUGHS EVILLY]
[ALL LAUGHING EVILLY]
[GRUNTS] Guys? A little help?
[GRUNTS]
[YELLS]
[TECH-WU YELLING]
[***]
GENERAL CRYPTOR: Junk him.
[GASPS]
No!
[GRUNTS]
[PIXAL GRUNTS]
That was never in my program.
Your heart improved my fighting ability.
[GENERAL CRYPTOR LAUGHING]
He needs a little girl to protect him?
[CRYPTORS CHUCKLING EVILLY]
[PIXAL & ZANE GRUNT]
Our shared reflexes...
Work as one.
[ZANE GRUNTING]
[***]
As if we were made... To fight together.
ZANE & PIXAL: Ninja, go!
I take back everything I said!
No, you were right.
I could've been a better friend.
I had no clue!
Black or blue?
[SIGHS]
[METAL SNIPPING]
[BOTH SIGH]
[COUGHS]
Nya, you did it!
Oh, which color did you choose?
Like I'll ever tell.
Uh?
Come on!
[BOTH EXHALING LOUDLY]
[PANTING]
Ah.
[GASPS]
COLE: Sensei Wu!
What happened to him?
He's turned evil. Help me.
[YELLS]
But... But he's our sensei.
[TECH-WU GROANS] Not anymore.
More like Tech Wu!
Oh! Bad sensei! Bad!
[GRUNTS]
Ha-ha-ha! I hate to say it,
but you deserved that a little. Ugh!
Ha, ha! Right back at ya!
NYA: I got this.
[GRUNTS]
[***]
Ah.
[COLE, JAY & KAI SCREAM]
[TECH-WU GRUNTS]
Sorry, sensei.
[***]
[GRUNTS]
Ha! I always knew those two
had a magnetic attraction.
Really?
JAY: Whoa! Who is that?
[GRUNTS]
Enough! The Overlord will be pleased.
[GROWLS]
Hmm.
Uh, seriously? Who the heck was that guy?
Or gal.
Whoever it is,
they turned our sensei against us.
And if we want to save him,
we'll need to find out who this stranger is.
Perhaps I could have that answer for you
in a few moments.
What is it? Hm...
It's obviously a clue, dirt clod.
I know it's a clue, zap trap,
but it's so small.
I just wanted to know what-- Stop it, you two!
Pixal, can you analyze it?
The sample size is far too small,
but given time, I should have an answer.
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.
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.
Don't worry, Sis, we'll get Sensei back.
[LLOYD SIGHING AND PANTING]
[LLOYD SIGHS]
[GRUNTS]
Wished you still had four hands?
[PANTS]
It would've come in handy.
Your potential is great...
not your sense of humor.
[LAUGHS THEN SIGHS]
Still won't let me use the Golden Dragon?
Still won't.
[GRUNTS]
If you want to harness the power
of the First Spinjitzu Master,
you must focus on your balance...
[GRUNTS]
... and find your center.
[RAVTURE SQUAWKING] [SIGHS]
[GRUNTS]
Uh, Dad?
A Ravture youngling.
Don't touch him.
It needs to learn to fly on its own.
Keep climbing. Slowly.
[SQUAWKING]
[GRUNTING]
[LLOYD GASPS]
GARMADON: What have you done?
It's going to know someone has touched it's young.
It? Who?
Daddy.
[RAVTURE CRIES] [SQUAWKS]
He was gonna fall. I was trying to help.
Unless you speak Ravture,
there's no use trying to explain.
Hurry! We need to climb to shelter!
There!
[GRUNTING]
[SQUAWKS] [RAVTURE CRIES]
You're not gonna fall on my watch.
GARMADON: Your compassion is not helping.
[GASPING]
[GRUNTING] Dad!
GARMADON [GRUNTING]: I take it back.
I do want my four hands.
No! Do not use your power as a crutch.
It will only weaken you.
He's circling back.
[GRUNTS] Dad! No!
Son!
[SCREAMS]
[GROANS]
[SCREAMS]
[GRUNTING]
You just moved a mountain, son.
[RAVTURE CRIES]
[BABY RAVTURE SQUAWKING]
No!
[GASPS]
[GRUNTING]
Huh? GARMADON: Looks like
you're not the only one who's grown up.
[SIGHS]
[SQUAWKING]
[LAUGHING]
[GARMADON LAUGHS]
[GARMADON SIGHS] [RAVTURE CRIES]
[***]
After you.
[BIRD CRYING]
Hey, the ninja have sent a message.
Lloyd, we've got some bad news.
We had a run-in with a mysterious someone
who found a new way to power nindroids.
And he turned Sensei Wu evil!
He had a black beard!
NYA: We have a suspicion
that this person may have stolen
the hard drive containing the Overlord
and has reawakened him.
And now that the hard drive has gone missing,
we can't reboot the system.
Our Techno Blades are useless!
But the stranger left a clue.
A white scale.
That's right, we think it may be Serpentine.
We're headed to New Ninjago City
to get to the bottom of this,
but thought you should know
so you can keep your distance.
Hope you're faring better than we are.
We'll stay in contact if we learn anything new.
Over and out. Whoa.
Serpentine?
We must not go back, but forward.
Hiroshi's Labyrinth. Miles of jungle
so dense,
all who enter are never found.
We must not rest.
Okay, let's get lost.
OVERLORD: You failed.
Not even you could stop them.
STRANGER: I wasn't trying to stop them.
I was luring them into a greater trap.
GARMADON [OVER RECORDING]: Hiroshi's Labyrinth.
Miles of jungle so dense,
all who enter are never found.
We must not rest.
LLOYD: Okay, let's get lost.
Attacking the ninja
was merely a ploy to scare them
into sending a warning message
to the Chosen One.
I intercepted their SOS
and now we know
where the Golden Ninja is.
The Falcon is now our beacon.
He will lead us right to him.
[OVERLORD LAUGHS EVILLY]
OVERLORD: Whoever you are...
I like you.
Soon, the power...
will be mine!
