Ninjago, Season 9: Hunted

Kai:
[finds foil under the Bounty's debris] Foil. I found foil! Ah! Yes! We have foil!

Zane:
[grunts as he sets up a radio] Okay, let's see if it works.

Cole:
Say we're lucky enough to reach someone in Ninjago. After everything that's happened, is there even a home to go back to?

Kai:
One way to find out. Here goes nothing. [flips a switch on the radio]

[Nothing happens]

Zane:
And that sounds like nothing.

Kai:
Ugh, we're never getting home!

Jay:
[calmly] So it doesn't work. I'm telling you guys, I've been feeling so much better now that I've accepted our situation. This is our new home.

Cole:
You don't sound like yourself, Jay.

Jay:
I'm just saying you don't have to freak out about it. Heh. It could be worse.

Kai:
Worse? Worse!? A strange tea lady just marooned us in the Realm of Oni and Dragon. A realm, mind you, we know nothing about, with no hope of getting home, and no clue as to what else is out there!

Jay:
Uh, Oni and Dragons, duh?

Cole:
Sure, Jay. We've all seen Dragons. But aren't you the least bit concerned about coming across an Oni? I mean, we hardly know anything about them.

Zane:
Except that they like to destroy, and Master Wu is part Oni.

Jay:
[laughs] Ah, man.

Kai:
You not freaking out… is FREAKING ME OUT!

Jay:
Kai, baby, it's much easier coping with life's problems when you let go of hope. [slides down a plank] Whoo-hoo! Hey, turn up that music. That's my butter and jam. Yeah-ha!

Cole:
Yeah, he's totally lost it.

Jay:
Nope, I've totally found it!

[Kai holds up a torch as Zane fixes the radio]

Kai:
No sign of Cole, or Wu for that matter. So, whatcha doin', Jay?

Jay:
[playing a "game" on a piece of wood] It's my new video game console. I built it myself.

Kai:
Uh-huh. [to Zane] Is it working?

Zane:
It's working!

Kai:
Really? Jay, do you believe it?

Jay:
Ain't no video game console with unlimited plays.

[The Dragon Hunters surround the stranded ninja]

Iron Baron:
They are Masters of Elements! A week's rations for the Hunter who brings them to me in chains!

Kai:
I count ten.

Zane:
There are fifteen.

Kai:
Yeah, well, you were always better with math. You with us, Jay?

Jay:
We're totally outnumbered. They have weapons and we don't, I haven't eaten all day, not to mention showered in a week. Do you see there are kids in this audience? This level of violence is far too much for them to handle, let alone me!

Zane:
He's back to normal.

Harumi:
You summoned me, Emperor?

Garmadon:
The city is too quiet. I feel the presence of my son.

Harumi:
He would be foolish to show his face.

Garmadon:
Do I look like a fool?

Harumi:
I will handle security of the tower myself. I will not fail you.

Lloyd:
[on TV] Hello, Ninjago, it's me, Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja. Lord Garmadon wants you to be afraid, but I need you to be brave. With the help of Princess Harumi, Lord Garmadon struck a major blow against Ninjago City. We are ready to strike back. There is a resistance. And we may be small, but we are powerful. I may not have Elemental Power, but I call upon the power of the people. When we get knocked down, we rise up. Stronger than before. This is our city. He thinks he can bully us with stone giants. Well, this isn't the first time our city has faced ruin. Buildings fall, but we rise! [the citizens cheer] And to you, Father, I say this: fighting me may make you feel powerful, but you're about to see what real power is. The Resistance never quits!

Wu:
It won't fly.

Jay:
It has to.

Cole:
I'm too heavy. Maybe your calculations were off.

Jay:
I designed it to your measurements. Have you gained weight?

Cole:
[gasps] I have given up cake, and my body is a temple!

Lloyd:
Those who cannot change, cannot change anything.

Harumi:
Lloyd, you speak of change, but look what you've become. Nothing but a beggar in rags.

Lloyd:
You took my friends from me, so I took yours.

[The Resistance surround Harumi]

Nya:
Who's the beggar now?

Faith:
We're getting closer to the Firstbourne's nest. We will eat when the Son of the Spinjitzu Master has the Dragon Armor, and we are all in Ninyeego.

Zane:
It's Ninjago. It's really not that hard to pronounce.

Kai:
Oh, to be back home, in a real bed.

Jay:
Mmm, with real food.

Cole:
And cake. Why did I ever give up cake?

Jay:
[snorts] Because your body is a temple.

Faith:
What is this, cake?

Cole:
Imagine all that is good, baked into warm and moist. Then add a sweet, sugary frosting, that's cake.

Faith:
You sound excited, but are you ready for what lies ahead.

Wu:
[now aged up into a young adult] You let my ninja go, or else!

Iron Baron:
Or else what?

Wu:
Or else I will reclaim my father's armor and ask his dragon to end your rule. I am the Son of the First Spinjitzu Master, and this is my oath!

Jet Jack:
What do you think you're doing?

Jay:
Uh, nothing? [Jet Jack holds up her weapon] They are going to eat us!

[The Ninja all scream. Jet Jack cuts him down, and the others scream as they are also cut down]

Cole:
Ow. Ugh. Ever heard of stairs?

Faith:
I don't know if I should thank you, Jet Jack, or prepare to fight.

Kai:
Or if you're going to eat us, eat him first. [points to Cole] He's filled with cake!

Cole:
[stutters] A-am not!

[Iron Baron and Wu are looking for the Dragon Armor in the First Realm]

Iron Baron:
Wait... I cannot see a cursed thing in here. [crashes into Wu and falls down] Where is this Dragon Nest? [gets back up with a torch in his hand]

Wu:
[looks down] I believe we're in it.

[They see many dragons]

Iron Baron:
[gasps] They are all asleep. Your Oni blood does not disturb them. Your Dragon blood keeps them docile. Look! [they see the Dragon Armor] It's revealing itself to you. It wants to be found. [they both walk towards the Dragon Armor, reaching the base] Back away! It's mine! [The Firstbourne wakes up as he puts on the armor] Ah, yes, I have it! I wear the Dragon Armor! I command you, beast, destroy him!

Wu:
You know, I've learned a lot of things since I came to this realm.

Iron Baron:
What are you babbling about?!

Wu:
My ninja taught me responsibility, confidence, a sense of humor, and to listen to the voice within. But I also learned something from you.

Iron Baron:
Argh! Stand down! Kneel before me!

Wu:
You taught me the power of lies. You didn't really think the Dragon Armor is what made Firstbourne obey my father, did you? It was because of his heart. She sensed goodness in him. What does she sense in you?

[The ninja try to chain the Colossus down]

Zane:
He's too considerable to take down.

Kai:
And he's got good reflexes!

Cole:
Guys, I'm nearly out of chain.

Jay:
Me too.

Kai:
Even if we had more, it's not thick enough to stop it.

Zane:
Then perhaps next time we should use thicker chains.

Cole:
There ain't gonna be a next time!

Jay:
And Zane's the smart one.

Kai:
No, he's onto something. Look at all that chain. If we can use it, we could lock it down.

Cole:
And who of us is stupid enough to jump on that thing?

Kai:
Cole, say no more. [jumps on the Colossus]

Cole:
That's my last one. Make it count!

[In the Monastery, the ninja are talking to Wu]

Kai:
I don't get it, Master. Why do we need a Spinjitzu lesson now? We're golden! Real True Potential stuff. Check me out! Jump up, kick back, whip around, and spi— Agh! [falls on his face]

Wu:
Golden? Haha! There's more to Spinjitzu than spinning, kicking, and whipping. You have yourself just perfectly illustrated why it is high time for a reminder. Maybe we start with… balance, in Spinjitzu, as well as in life.

Wu:
I think this concludes the lesson for today. We are golden.

Kai:
Hey, I was gonna say that!

Lloyd:
[on the Ultra Dragon in a dream] Easy there, Ultra. You're making me all dizzy. Woo-hoo! [the Dragon jerks back] Whoa! Sensing something? Something's wrong? [the Dragon blows Fire] Fire. Where? Go! [they find a village on fire, being raided by Venomari] Venomari. I thought those guys had all been defeated by the Stone Army. We need to split up. You deal with the fire and thieves, I'll take on the warriors. [summons the Golden Dragon] Formation Double Dragon! [picks up two Venomari warriors] You ground dwellers need a flying lesson. [throws them in a lake] End of lesson. Keep your heads down and don't mess with Ninjago!

Wu:
The past is our guiding light—or our journey into the future will be shrouded in darkness. This mural will remind and help us remember. It is our collective history captured in a single image. Only the most essential—uh, this has no historic significance. [points to the Earth Driller] Who told you to put that there?

Wu:
On second thought, leave it be. It's just an Earth Driller. What harm can it do?

[Kai and Zane are walking around the Monastery]

Kai:
Hey, Jay, what's up? Huh?

Zane:
He appears to have gone into some meditative trance, or possibly spontaneous self hibernation.

Kai:
Nah, he's probably just fantasizing about that. [looks at a mural] Our Elemental vehicles. Created from our Golden Weapons. Remember those, Zane?

Zane:
I don't need to remember. I can recall an enhanced visual augmentation from my data log.

Kai:
Hey, we didn't look like that back then.

Zane:
I told you, it was an enhanced visual augmentation.

Kai:
Whatever.

[Jay walks up to Wu, who is watching monks paint the murals]

Jay:
Hi, Master. What's happening?

Wu:
Oh, hello, Jay. Nothing much, except witnessing the birth of this historical—

Jay:
Wow! Look at that! My Lightning Jet! Remember how cool that was? All I had to do was swing my nunchucks around and...

Wu:
Uh, yes, the Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu. Each possessing the power of Creation, forged by my father, the First Spinjitzu Master. In the molten steams of the Golden Peaks.

[Jay accidentally hits himself with his nunchucks, snapping himself out of his flashback]

Jay:
Ow! [notices it's dark and no one's there] Aw, great. I missed supper again. I guess I'm ordering take out. [makes a call on his phone] Hello? Mr. Chen's Noodle Empire? Quick question, do you deliver?

[Jay and Nya are preparing for a sparring session]

Jay:
I am not gonna go easy on you just because you're my girl.

Nya:
I wouldn't want you to, Sparky. In fact, let's make this interesting. Loser does the dishes tonight.

Jay:
Do the dishes? Wow, major stakes, Master of Water. [Nya groans] But you are on.
