[intense action music]

[roaring]

[yelps]

[crashing]

[yelping]

[roaring]

[screaming]

That's Master Wu!

Not yet, not yet...

Now!

Oh, gosh!

I hope he timed that right!

[Master Wu screaming]

I fished out the last one. It's your turn!

[soft suspenseful music]

[gasping for air]

[grunts]

[huffs]

What are the odds... [gasps]

...we'd end up having to...

resuscitate two people who fell

in the same canal?

[coughing]

You're getting good at it, 'Tones.

Help me lift him up! We gotta get outta here!

[ominous music]

[groans]

[groans]

Huh? What happened?

[gasps, grunts]

Come on, slow pokes! Pick up the pace!

The Crystal King wants the ninja found,

and I ain't gonna be the one to tick him off

just because you guys can't keep up!

[panicked strained pants]

Well, well... What have we got here?

The girl-ninja who-lost-her-powers

but-still-thinks-she's-a-ninja.

When are you gonna learn?

Your time is over!

[whistles] Crystallize her, boys!

[groans]

[monsters growling]

[blasting]

[heroic music]

-Jay! -[crackles]

Now we're talking!

A Ninja with some actual powers!

Hey, can I ask you a personal question?

How'd you two ever pair up?

Everyone knows water and electricity don't go to together.

You know what does go together? My foot and your face!

[grunting]

[monsters growling]

Jay, look out!

[grunts]

Get out of there! Run!

And leave you here? I don't think so. I just got you back.

Please, Jay, run!

Aw... ain't that sweet?

I'm getting all choked up here.

Crystalize 'em both!

[blasting]

[Nya] Look out, Jay!

[Mechanic groans]

[panting, grunts]

[tense music]

-Nya? -[screams]

[determined grunt]

[bursting]

Whoa!

[meaningful music]

Nya! Did you do that?

I... don't know.

[Jay] On three! One, two, three!

[grunts]

Your powers must be returning, Nya! Just like Kai's did, remember?

After Aspheera drained his elemental powers

they came back slowly.

Let's see.

[suspenseful music building]

Nothing.

Give it time.

It took Kai weeks to get his powers back.

[ominous music]

[groaning]

att*ck! Don't let them escape, you rocks for brains!

[blasting]

Come on, we better get out of here!

[intense music]

[crackling]

All right, Knuckles, Ten-Speed... you guys take route six.

Spokes, Ace, you got route four,

and Whiplash, and Skids, you take route three, got it?

-A-firmative! -On it!

And remember, don't let those things touch you!

[knocking on door]

[whispers] When does the news sleep?

[Antonia] Never!

Don't just stand there, help us out!

[thudding]

What is this place?

Where am I?

You're in the Paperkids Warehouse, Master Wu.

We didn't know where else to bring you.

Do you know the whereabouts of the other ninja?

You mean... you haven't heard?

I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but...

the Destiny's Bounty was destroyed.

It crashed into the city.

Crashed? Where?

All over the place. It broke up into pieces.

And the ninja? Are they okay?

Nobody knows.

-They have survived worse. -You bet.

And now that you're here, we can start planning.

-Planning? -The counter-att*ck!

This place is the perfect base, we got water, electricity,

we even got an old radio...

Absolutely not!

There will be no counter-att*ck!

I must get you all to safety.

[Antonia] What d'ya mean, no counter-att*ck?

Yeah, we're not scared.

Well, you should be!

We are up against the Overlord himself.

And I am not about to lead a group of children into battle

against the embodiment of evil and darkness.

That never stopped you before!

Master Wu, you once told me that the important thing

isn't winning or losing, it's never quitting.

This is different!

And don't call me master!

You may think we're just kids, but we've been around, ya know.

We delivered the news through molten lava balls

and giant snakes, and video-game dragons,

and tsunami waves...

It is not a question of courage.

It is one of wisdom.

I led the ninja into battle because I thought

we had a chance.

I was sorely mistaken.

Our only chance lies in escape.

We must get as far away from the city as we can.

[sighs] You heard him, Spokes.

Looks like it's quittin' time.

[engine revs]

Even if we could find the others, Nya,

what difference would it make?

We're outnumbered. We need help.

Like who?

[brakes screeching]

[gasps] Like Benthomaar.

Benthomaar?

He's hundreds of miles away, Jay,

at the bottom of the Endless Sea.

Right, and he's the new King of Merlopia,

which means he's got an army!

That's exactly what we need!

-How do you plan to reach him? -I don't. But you can.

Me?

Your powers are coming back, Nya!

You can communicate with the whales.

You're our best sh*t!

What if I can't do it?

I believe in you, Nya.

Okay. Get me to the harbor, and I'll do my best.

But no promises!

-[heroic music] -[engine revs]

Remember, once we get outside,

head straight for the edge of the city.

And avoid all contact with the Crystal Warriors.

Understood?

[sighs deeply]

[Nelson] I never thought the day would come.

Yeah, me neither. The day the news finally sleeps.

Good luck, Purple Ninja.

You too, 'Tones.

[monsters roaring and blasting]

[tense music]

What do we do!? There's no way out!

[ominous music]

[ninja music]

[Master Wu grunting]

[grunting]

[Antonia] Head's up!

[Nelson] Special delivery!

[whistles]

[crashing]

[cheering]

[thudding]

Thank you, you saved us!

[sighs]

Nelson, help these good people inside.

Antonia, get these bikes out of sight.

What d'ya mean? Ain't we quittin'?

No. We ain't.

Ninja never quit.

[meaningful music]

[radio static]

If you can hear me,

if there is anyone out there listening...

This is Master Wu.

Our home is under att*ck.

Enemies roam our streets.

They hope to destroy all that is good

and drive us into darkness.

But I am here to tell you they will fail!

We are not fearful!

We are stronger than they know and we will retake our city!

The news never sleeps!

To anyone listening out there, you are now honorary Ninja...

and Ninja never quit!

[paperkids cheering]

You tell them Master Wu!
