Ninjago, Season 6: Skybound

Dareth:
[sees Nya] Oh, hey, sweetheart. Mind sticking around for a segment to teach girls how to apply makeup?

Nya:
[angered] You're gonna need makeup when I rearrange your face! [walks over to punch Dareth]

Jay:
[holds Nya back] Easy! [to Dareth] Nya's one of us now, there's no reason she should be treated differently.

Dareth:
No reason? You added a girl to the group. You know how much that hurts your image? You're a boy band, a hunk machine!

Lloyd:
No, we're equals. Our power comes from no one being more important than the other.

Kai:
Important? No. Irresistible... uh, debatable. [winks at fangirls at the doorway]

Dareth:
[chuckles] I don't tell you how to do your business, don't tell me how to do mine. Remember how every time you save Ninjago no one cared? Well, now Dareth's in charge and Dareth says don't change the recipe. You boys are the face of the franchise, and now the face of Teen Idol!

[He brings out a magazine with Lloyd on it and Jay and Cole on each side on a heart with Nya in it]

Lloyd:
[reads the title] "Sensei Lloyd"? But I'm only a Sensei-in-training.

Cole:
And what's this about me and Jay still fighting over Nya? That's old news.

Dareth:
Who cares if it's real or not? Isn't this what you've always dreamed of? You're the hottest thing in Ninjago!

Cole:
Ah, Minidroid Chess. So what's the tally now? A hundred games to none? [laughs]

Jay:
Set them up, Zane. We're going again. [to Cole] What's got you so cheery?

Cole:
Remember back in the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master, when we all saw the reflection of our future selves?

Jay:
You mean when you couldn't see anything?

Cole:
Yeah, it wasn't because I'm a goner, it's because I can disappear!

Jay:
Oh, then why don't you make like a ghost and vanish? I need full concentration.

Cole:
Oh, touchy, are we? Teach him a lesson, Zane. [laughs and walks away, whistling]

[The ninja visit Lil' Nelson at the hospital]

Lloyd:
As a part of the Grant-A-Wish Foundation, we dub you an Honorary Ninja for the Day.

Nelson:
Could you stay to sign their casts?

Nya:
Aw, I wish we could, but duty calls.

Cole:
[looks out the window] Uh, not sure how far we'll get. Looks like we've got company.

Jay:
[looks out the window and sees their fans] How'd they find us?

Kai:
[on his phone] Reply. Of course I'm at the hospital. My hair is sick. Haha. Send.

Nya:
Are you sending out a Chirp?

Kai:
Uh, my followers have needs too.

[Nadakhan is disguised as a citizen and walks into Ninjago City]

Man #2:
Watch where you’re going. Ha! Nice hair, bozo.

Cyrus:
[on Infovision] You look lost. Can I be of assistance?

Nadakhan:
Hmm, are you trapped too?

Cyrus:
I'm sorry, I don't understand your quarry. You are talking to Infovision. Ask a question and maybe I can answer it.

Nadakhan:
Where is my crew?

Cyrus:
You'll have to be more specific.

Nadakhan:
The crew of Misfortune's Keep.

Cyrus:
Misfortune's Keep, the most feared pirate ship that ruled the high seas, taken down by Captain Soto and his Destiny's Bounty at the end of the era of the Stone Army. The Misfortune's Keep captain Nadakhan the Djinn with the power to grant other's wishes is trapped in the Teapot of Tyrahn while his crew is later marooned in separate realms.

Nadakhan:
Separate realms?

Cyrus:
After the ninja discovered the Realm Crystal in The Tomb of The First Spinjtzu Master, it is common knowledge that Ninjago is one of the 16 realms.

Nadakhan:
Which realm is Delara in?

Cyrus:
No known image of Delara the quartermaster of Misfortune's Keep and love of Nadakhan the Djinn. She died shortly after Nadakhan's imprisonment.

Nadakhan:
Died?

Cyrus:
Die, to expire, to croak or to tint.

Nadakhan:
Where is this Realm Crystal?

Cyrus:
Location is classified. Since realm crossing is prohibited, it is under the protection of Sensei Wu and the Masters of Spinjitzu.

Nadakhan:
Then tell me how to find them.

Stiix Citizen:
Hey, no one here cares for them fruit-colored ninja.

Cole:
[offended] Excuse me, what fruit is black?

Jay:
Uh, blackberries?

Cole:
Shut it, Jay.

Cop:
Come out with your hands up.

[A rat comes out with a tracker device]

Simon:
It's not Kai, sir. It's his communication device. He gave it to the rat so we'd go on a wild goose chase. Ah. I mean, wild rat chase. Heh.

Commissioner:
Yes, thank you, detective.

Simon:
But your eye is twitching.

Commissioner:
I'm not blind!

[Cole and Jay arrive at Mega Monster Amusement Park]

Cole:
Looks like Mega Monster Amusement Park shut down after it became a crime scene. Come on, let's go check out the roller coaster. That's where Zane was framed.

Jay:
Ah, this place gives me so many fond memories. [gasps] It's here I found my True Potential. Oh, and over there is where Nya and I went on our first date. I bet one day she and I will laugh about all this. [laughs, then sees Cole staring at him] Uh, I mean, why would she laugh at that? She hates me. It's not like I'd expect anything to suddenly change between her and I. Where is that roller coaster?

Cole:
The only thing this place gives me is the creeps. Let's not stick around any longer than we need to. [sees the roller coaster] There it is. Just what kind of clues are we looking for? It's not like there are any witnesses around to tell us what they saw.

Jay:
I wouldn't be so sure about that.

[He uses his powers to turn on some monitors]

Cole:
Ha, it's practically a visual timeline of the events that day. Jay, you're a genius.

Jay:
Like I said, it's where I found my True Potential.

Cole:
[sees Nadakhan in one of the pictures] There, that's our guy.

Jay:
These pictures were taken seconds after each other.

Cole:
That means that guy is Zane.

Jay:
[gasps in realization] You mean—

Cole:
The Djinn can shape-shift. He could be anybody! [Jay passes his hand through him] Seriously?

[Dareth visits the ninja at Kryptarium Prison]

Cole:
What are you doing to get us out of here!?

Zane:
This is no place for a Nindroid!

Kai:
I don't look good in stripes!

Jay:
They're all so mean! Help us! You have to help us!

Lloyd:
Shh. While we're stuck in here, the Djinn is out there.

Dareth:
I know, I'm doing everything I can. Borg wanted me to let you know that the Djinn broke into Hiroshi's Labyrinth Stronghold and took the Realm Crystal. The good news is everything else is accounted for. The bad news is the Djinn may now have his old crew back.

Kai:
You have to get us out of here, Dareth. You're our manager. What are you doing to manage this?

Dareth:
[whispering] Did you get the cake? I baked some tools in it for you to cut through the bars.

Jay:
Cake? We didn’t get any cake.

Cole:
Uh, how was I supposed to know there was something in it? I just thought it was crunchy.

Jay:
You ate our only way out?!

Dareth:
Well, looks like you’re on your own. Be strong, little ninja.

Kai:
What do you mean on our own?

Jay:
You're not leaving us in here!

Cole:
Wait, Dareth!

Dareth:
[walks to the Warden] If anything happens to them in here, you'll have to answer to the Brown Ninja.

Warden:
If there's a Brown Ninja out there, maybe he belongs in here too.

Dareth:
Uh, I'll give him the message. Gotta go. [leaves]

Kai:
[touches an electric fence] Ow! Careful, Zane. It's electrified.

Zane:
I believe all of the signs on this repo yard made that abundantly clear. Perhaps there's another suitable solution past this obstacle. Airjitzu?

[He uses Airjitzu to fly over the fence]

Kai:
You don't have to sound so cocky.

Repo Man:
[sees Kai and Zane] Looks like we have some trespassers. [to his dog] Go get them, Sir Chomps-A-Lot.

[Zane tries to break the Bounty's restraints]

Kai:
Would you hurry up?

Zane:
These chains will take me a while. You could keep interrupting me or perhaps start making yourself useful.

[Kai tries to melt the chains, but the Repo Man's dog starts chasing him]

Kai:
Aah! Get away, get away, get away, get away!!

Repo Man:
Trespasser! Don't move!

[He shoots at Zane, but misses and breaks the chain instead. The dog is now chasing both Zane and Kai]

Kai:
I told you to hurry up!

Zane:
Would you be quiet and run?!

Lloyd:
[gives Zane a canteen] Here, you'll need this.

Zane:
Why do I need a canteen?

Lloyd:
There may be no fresh water on the island. This way, we won't be without.

Zane:
But I'm a Nindroid. I repeat, why do I need a canteen?

[The ninja are crossing a bridge]

Lloyd:
The Tiger Widow's den should be just up ahead. Watch your step.

Cole:
You don't have to tell me twice.

Jay:
[sighs] Just how am I supposed to extract this dangerous venom? Can I ask it nicely?

Nya:
Well, maybe if Zane hadn't been captured, we would have a Nindroid around to tell you.

Jay:
Ooh, that's a low blow. I mean, do we know anything about this Tiger Widow, other than it was named to strike terror in the hearts of men?

Cole:
Zane told me it's the last of its species. So it sounds like you've only got one chance at this. But I'm sure you'll be just fine— What are you doing now?

Jay:
[on what seems to be a hammock] Resting my feet on this hammock. We've been walking for miles. If I have to face this thing alone, I'm gonna need to be well-rested.

Lloyd:
Jay, I don't think that's a hammock.

Jay:
[notices he's on a giant spider web with a skeleton on it] Aah! Get it off me! Aah! Get it off of me! Get it off of me! [gets out and spits out the webbing]

Nya:
We have to keep moving.

Jay:
[groans] Haven't I suffered enough?

Nya, Cole and Lloyd:
No!

Jay:
[trying to get venom from the Tiger Widow] HOW DO I GET VENOM WHEN HIS FANGS ONLY COME OUT WHEN HE TRIES TO BITE ME?!

Cole:
Then let him bite you!

Jay:
IF I GET OUT OF HERE, I'M GONNA BITE YOU!

[Lloyd comes back after flying over the Endless Sea on his dragon]

Cole:
You okay? Did you see any land?

Lloyd:
Just water. I tried to reach the mainland, but it's too far. We won't be able to get off this island on our own.

[Cole laughs]

Nya:
What's so funny about our predicament?

Cole:
Oh, I was just thinking about what Jay might say to that. [raises his voice to sound like Jay] "YOU'RE TELLING ME WE WENT THROUGH ALL THAT TROUBLE TO GET THE VENOM TO STOP NADAKHAN, AND NOW WE HAVE NO WAY TO GET OFF THIS ISLAND?!" [normal voice] Heh, gone one day and I already miss him spazzing out.

Nya:
Me too. After he lied to us, I was so hard on him. And now he's captured and all alone. Some friends we are.

Lloyd:
Hey, Jay's strong. We'll get him back. It's like what Wu once told me, if you want something bad enough, you find a way to make it happen.

Cole:
He's right. If we can't fly off this island, we'll build our way. I've seen enough movies to know it's possible.

Lloyd:
And if we've built a rocket off an asteroid, what's one raft a little—

Nya:
Across an endless sea filled with unknown creatures that wanna eat us?! Uh, that was my Jay impression. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get building.

Lloyd:
One more round of palm ties, and I'd say she's secure enough for sea.

Nya:
Why is it all sea vessels are shes?

Cole:
I don't know, because it takes a lot of paint to make them look good?

[Cole and Lloyd laugh but stop when they see Nya glaring at them]

Lloyd:
Oh. [turns his laughter into coughing]

Cole:
I kid, I kid. Lighten up, water lily.

Nya:
I get it. My personal mission to rid the world of its prejudices is wearing thin.

[Back on Misfortune's Keep, Zane tries to remove the strip of metal from Jay's mouth]

Dogshank:
He banished them right before our eyes!

Flintlocke:
Fear not, Buttercup. We all know the realms we came from were a lot more welcoming than this world's ever been.

Cole:
But how are we supposed to stop him? Without the poison, we don't stand a ghost of a chance.

Kai:
How long are you gonna say that?

Cole:
If Nadakhan gets his way, not long.

Dogshank:
Maybe it's best if we keep our distance.

Kai:
But that's my sister he's got.

Lloyd:
Kai's right, we have to do something. But what?

Jay:
[now free from the strip of metal] We have the poison! Oh, boy, that really hurt.

Kai:
I thought the poison was gone long ago.

Jay:
Thanks to Clancee, it's right here.

Cole:
And you still have your wish.

Jay:
I do. But if there's anything I learned, it's that wishing for something won't make it come true. We all tried to get something from Nadakhan, and look what happened.

Lloyd:
It only made him stronger.

Jay:
Right, but if we really want something, don't wish it to happen, make it happen.

Cole:
But how are we gonna get close?

Jay:
Maybe one of us doesn't have to get close.

Flintlocke:
Me?

Jay:
You can take the shot from far away. Once he's weakened, we'll do the rest.

Flintlocke:
But I can't even shoot water in an ocean.

Jay:
According to Nadakhan. But he never held the real power, we did.

Kai:
I don't follow.

Jay:
All his wishes, he could never make them on his own. He needed us to make them come true. Just like when I wished to be rich, he tried to convince me my dad died, but that wasn't my real dad. My real dad lives with my mom, happy in the junkyard.

Cole:
That's true.

Jay:
And how did he manage to capture the greatest ninja this world has ever seen?

Lloyd:
We all wished ourselves away. He's right, it's worth a shot, Flintlocke.

Dr. Saunders:
The ninja. The Master Wu.

Wu:
Dr. Saunders.

Saunders:
Oh, please, we are all friends. You must call me by my first name, yes? Sander, yes?

Kai:
[whispering to Nya] Dr. Sander Saunders?

Saunders:
At your service. [chuckles] I am so pleased to be seeing you at this now. We are opening our new exhibit. Come. You see, come. [leads Wu and the ninja to the entrance to the hall] Might I be presenting the Hall of Villainy.

All:
Wow.

Saunders:
[presenting statues and portraits of the ninja's villains and enemies] Cryptor.

Zane:
A plastic mannequin.

Saunders:
Kozu.

Lloyd:
Uncanny.

Saunders:
Chen.

Nya:
Memories.

Saunders:
Samukai.

Jay:
Is he looking at me?

Wu:
Maybe from the past.

Saunders:
And Morro. Check this out! We don't just open on the Day of Departed. It's the Day of Departed lunar eclipse. A special eclipse.

Wu:
The rarest Yin-Yang eclipse.

Saunders:
Oh, poetic, is it not? Scary holiday, scary exhibit, scary moon, there is magic in the air.

Cole:
[trying to talk to one of Yang's students] So I didn't get your name. Okay, I'll just call you Chuck. Look, Chuck, I know you think you're Yang's student, and maybe you were once, but now you're his prisoner. Don't you see? He's not your friend, he's your captor. You gotta shake off his spell. Then, we can stop him, together, you and me. [Chuck doesn't talk] Okay, no pressure, but you have three seconds to decide. One, two, three. [jumps and kicks Chuck] Guess I'm working solo, Chuck.

Wu:
[at the Monastery of Spinjitzu] An eclipse is always an omen, but is this one a sign of good...or bad?

Morro:
[behind him] Bad. Very bad.

Wu:
[turns to see Morro behind him] Well, my former student. How have you returned, Morro?

Morro:
The question is not how, but why.

Wu:
[wields his staff] We have fought twice before. And although it pains me, I will do so again if I must.

Morro:
No, you misunderstand. I'm not here to fight you. I'm here to warn you. Master Yang has put your team in terrible danger.

Wu:
What has Yang done?

Morro:
He's made you forget one of your own, one who was already slipping away.

Wu:
Tell me more.

Morro:
I will, but aboard the Bounty. We have to warn the others.

[Jay arrives at the museum, where the other ninja are waiting for him]

Jay:
Guys, I have the ghost story to end all ghost stories. You will never guess what just happened.

Kai:
You battled the possessed mannequin of a mortal enemy?

Nya:
Him and his goons tried to send you to the Departed Realm with magic blades?

Zane:
But you defeated them first.

Lloyd:
And saw their ghosts disappear into the night.

Jay:
Oh, okay, fine, you guessed. Well, since you know so much, why were all those ghosts out here?

Wu:
[approaching them] Because distracting you was part of Master Yang's plan.

Morro:
[appearing beside Wu] And he had help.

Lloyd:
Morro!

[He and the other ninja bring out their weapons]

Jay:
Any other villains want to show up tonight?

Kai:
We stopped five, what's one more?

Wu:
No, put away your weapons. He's here to help. Morro, tell them.

Morro:
Yang tricked Cole into helping him open a rift to return to Ninjago.

Jay:
Cole? How'd he trick you?

Zane:
Jay, Cole isn't here.

Jay:
Are you sure? He's been fading a lot lately. He's kind of easy to miss.

All ninja:
[gasp in realization] We forgot Cole!

Wu:
To the Bounty. They must be at the Temple of the Airjitzu Master. [to Morro] Thank you, Morro.

Morro:
Happy Day of the Departed, Master.

[Morro returns to his pedestal and poses. His spirit leaves his statue and goes back to the Departed Realm]
