Ninjago, Season 4: Tournament of Elements

Ninjago is a computer-animated television series based on the similar-named Lego toy brand.

[The ninja run out of the back of the restaurant to catch the thugs, only to find that they've disappeared, and they then find a note on the wall with a picture of Zane and a plate of fortune cookies on the table]

Lloyd:
What's this?

Jay:
Uh…

Kai:
[gasps] It's Zane.

Cole:
What does it say?

Lloyd:
[takes the note off the wall] It says he's alive.

[Kai, Jay, and Cole gasp]

Kai:
I don't think those thugs were delivering a message to the Noodle House. I think they were delivering a message to us.

Jay:
What do you mean it says he's alive?

Lloyd:
Hey, I'm just telling you what it says.

Kai:
Why would these thugs lead us here?

Cole:
You know, this has to be some cruel joke, and I'm not laughing.

Lloyd:
[sees the fortune cookies] Look, I think this was meant for us too.

Jay:
Fortune cookies? Very peculiar.

Lloyd:
Should we?

[Cole eats a fortune cookie]

Kai:
Uh, you do realize there's a fortune inside, right?

Cole:
Oh, so that's why they're called that.

Lloyd:
Listen to this. [reads his fortune] "Master Chen has personally invited you to participate in his Tournament of Elements."

Cole:
Wait a minute. Are you saying that Mr. Chen, the same guy filling my belly with delicious goodness, is actually Master Chen?

Kai:
[reading his fortune] "Secrecy is of the utmost importance. Tell no one, or suffer the consequences."

Jay:
[reading his fortune] "If you ever want to see your friend again, meet on the pier at midnight and leave your weapons behind."

[Their fortunes explode, and Cole belches]

Cole:
Uhh, at least I know I was invited.

[Everyone laughs]

Lloyd:
You don't think...

Kai:
It could be a trap. A lie to lure us in.

Jay:
Yeah, but what if it's not? What if Zane's alive?

Lloyd:
The Tournament of Elements. I'm starting to think this Master Chen makes more than noodles.

Kai:
You can forget bringing in a new ninja, Lloyd. Let's go see about an old one.

Chen:
Welcome to the Tournament of Elements. Now everyone can all di—[the door suddenly closes and everyone gasps] —rect your attention to me!

Garmadon:
[whispering to Lloyd] I forgot to mention he has a penchant for theatrics.

Chen:
[laughs] Never before have so many Elemental Fighters been under one roof. I see Master of Fire, Earth, Shadow, Speed, even a prophesied Green Savior. And a former pupil has returned. [points to a gong] This symbol before you is for the Anacondrai, fiercest Serpentine warrior to ever roam this land. Its creed: "Only one can remain."

[The gong moves aside, showing brackets]

Kai:
Good, looks like we're each in our own bracket. We won't have to face each other for a while.

Lloyd:
Better find Zane before that happens.

Chen:
[presents a Jadeblade] Behold, a Jadeblade. Here, it represents life. Obtain it, move on. Allow your opponent to take it, loser. The rules are simple. Every match will be different. No two fights will be the same. Your powers will keep you in the Tournament. Use it or lose it.

Karlof:
Hm, what does Karlof win?

Chen:
Win and stay on the island. Win it all, and you'll receive fortunes beyond your wildest dreams, and lifetime supply of Master Chen noodles. But no one is here because of noodle. You want the glory of being the greatest fighter in all of Ninjago!

[The Elemental Masters, except the ninja, cheer]

Garmadon:
And what happens if they lose?

Chen:
Lose? Who here likes to lose? [everyone else laughs, except the ninja] Now please, enjoy my island. It's a super fun happy place. Hahaha. Fun time on me.

Garmadon:
There's a valuable lesson here, son. If you turn your back on your first evil Sensei in an effort to go straight… you may not be served creamy biscuits.

Lloyd:
Well, I know what we are being served. A whole bunch of baloney. [to Kai] This isn't a fighting tournament, it's an alibi for Chen to steal everyone's powers. But we still don't know why.

Kai:
Isn't it obvious? Chen wants to destroy New Ninjago City. I don't know what it is, but that place has had a string of bad luck.

Cole:
I'm not so sure. From what Sensei G's told us about him, I have a feeling it's something far more sinister.

Jay:
And may I remind us, we still don't know where Zane is, which is why we all need to take care of our first rounds to give us more time. Don't look at me. I've already moved on.

Cole:
Your opponent got himself kicked out.

Jay:
[chuckles] Either way, it's my day off. Extra creamy biscuits. And don't skimp.

Cole:
Taking a day off? And here I thought ninja never quit.

Jay:
I used to think ninja wouldn't steal your girlfriend!

Garmadon:
Whatever you have to say to each other, say it now, because harbouring grudges hurts no one but yourselves.

Lloyd:
He's right, you two should be preparing to fight your next opponent, not each other.

Cole:
What grudge? I already dropped it.

Jay:
I dropped it first.

Cole:
Did not!

Jay:
Did too!

[They continue arguing, with Jay dropping his biscuits and drink]

Garmadon:
The tournament will test them, Lloyd. Either find a way for them to make peace, or neither of them will move on.

Cole:
[locked up in a dungeon] You can take my clothes and my power, but you'll never take my super strength! [tries to break the bars to no avail] Alright, so you got that too. [Clouse opens the door] You're letting me go?

Clouse:
Of course not. Your presence is required in the factory.

Cole:
The factory!? Lock me up for all I care. I'm never gonna lift a finger for you, you despicable- Ah! [Clouse and Zugu take him into the factory] A noodle factory? Ha, why didn't you say so? This is my kind of place. Look, that's how they make the noodles. Oh, and that's the dumpling machine. And is that how you make fortune cookies? Haha! [turns to a worker] You know there's a fortune in those, right?

Clouse:
There's only one rule: no eating the merchandise. [leaves]

Cole:
No eating the merchandise? How cruel can this place be!? [runs over to Zugu] You're evil!

[He tries to eat a fortune cookie, but Zugu takes it from him]

Zugu:
[eats the fortune cookie] Mm, yummy.

Karlof:
Don't worry. After while, not so bad. Since you new, I show you how to chop noodles. [Cole pulls the wrong lever, dropping flour on another worker] Not that one. [Cole pulls the right lever] See? Chop. Now don't make trouble.

Jacob:
Well, I for one don't like following rules. The minute you tell me the coast is clear, I'm busting out of here.

Karlof:
Even if you get past the guards, Mr. Blind Guy, there's still the labyrinth guarded by big snake.

Jacob:
My name's not Mr. Blind Guy, it's Jacob. And you may have already lost hope, but not me and not my buddy Cole here. Am I right?

Cole:
Actually, I'm on your left.

Jacob:
Oh, heh, you moved on me. Sneaky ninja.

[At the factory, Zugu leaves. Jacob takes his chance to escape. Cole is about to follow him, but Karlof stops him]

Karlof:
Make noodles, not trouble.

[Jacob makes it to the door and opens it to reveal Clouse and Zugu about to come in. Cole tries to warn him, but Karlof covers his mouth. Zugu grabs Jacob]

Jacob:
Hey! Not one of you could've warned me?

Clouse:
Make an example of him. Take him to feed my serpent.

Jacob:
Hey, hey!

[Clouse and Zugu take him into the dungeon]

Cole:
Feed his serpent? He doesn't mean—

Karlof:
Karlof not make trouble. Karlof make noodle.

[He pulls a lever that dumps flour on Cole]

Cole:
[coughs] I'm so not into this dumpling dump after all.

Lloyd:
Father, I don't understand. You trained under Chen, yet you fought beside Wu in the wars. What happened to the truce?

Garmadon:
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.

Lloyd:
Even after all this time, you never told Wu about your past with Chen?

Garmadon:
What would I have said? I would have lost your mother, as well as my brother, not to mention—

Lloyd:
Someone once told me you need to control your fear, and not let fear control you.

Garmadon:
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.
