Ninjago, Season 7: Hands of Time

[Kai, Jay and Cole are training]

Cole:
Zane is down, folks are disappearing all over town, and we can't do a thing to help! If we just knew why Acronix and Krux are taking people.

Jay:
You know, my theory—

Cole:
For the last time, they are not hostages.

Jay:
How can you be sure?

Cole:
No ransom note.

Jay:
Maybe they're gonna hypnotize them into being an army?

Cole:
Krux and Acronix already have an army, of Samurai snakes.

Jay:
Well, you know my other theories—

Cole:
Do not say alien abductions again, or dimensional rifts, or elven magic portals! [uses his Earth Punch on Jay] Sorry, it's just...I'm tired of speculating. We need to take action! Right, Kai? [notices Kai] Kai? You okay? You haven't been the same since you squared off against Krux. Did... did he do something?

Kai:
More like said something. No, nothing. I'm fine.

Cole:
Good, 'cause I was just saying it's time to stop guessing and to start fighting!

Kai:
So you're saying we capture one of those snake guys and bring them back here for Wu to question?

Cole:
I just want to fight somebody. But okay, we could do that too.

Lloyd:
That plan won't work.

Kai:
Why not?

Lloyd:
Because Master Wu still hasn't recovered from his battle with Acronix. He rambles. He passes out. I think he's a lot more hurt than he lets on.

Kai:
Oh, great! All this and now we have no leader, either?

Lloyd:
Uh, that's not exactly true. With Wu out of commission, the, um...logical successor would be, uh...

Cole:
The Green Ninja.

Lloyd:
Correct.

Cole:
Uh, Master Lloyd?

Kai:
"Temporary Master Lloyd", you mean.

Jay:
"...in Training".

Cole:
Okay, Temporary Master Lloyd in Training, we mere ninja await your words of wisdom, which I assume involve kicking some butt till we get a few answers, right?

Lloyd:
Wrong. Too random. We need a plan.

Kai:
We have one: go kick some butt.

Lloyd:
Really? Whose butt? Where?

Kai:
We'll work it out down there.

Lloyd:
No, we'll work it out here first. That's what Wu would do. Come on!

Kai:
Oh, yay, I just love sitting around and talking instead of doing.

Cole:
Cut him some slack, guys. He's doing the best he can.
