[Jay] "Superstar Rockin' Jay."

-[ship mumbling] -[whirring]

Whoa. This place is amazing.

[beeping]

[indistinct chatter]

Where should we start?

Maybe find a way to customize our avatars?

We can upgrade our look!

Cole, I know this Prime Empire place

is like video game paradise for you,

but our mission is to find Jay,

not to get designer clothes.

Uh, guys, that mission just got a bit more complicated!

[indistinct chatter]

[gasps]

[whirs, clanks]

Maybe this isn't as bad as it looks.

Some games have tutorial assistants

who meet new players and teach them

how the game works.

Eliminate the enemies of Unagami!

It's as bad as it looks!

[g*nf*re]

[grunts]

Time to go Spinjitzu on these digital creeps.

Ninja go!

[all grunt]

-Whoa! -[metal clatters]

Uh, does anyone know what just happened?

Or didn't happen?

[groans] Come on, Spinjitzu!

Come on!

New plan.

Elemental powers!

Go!

[grunting]

-[all panting] -[sighs]

Seriously?

[all yelping]

What's going on?

Not again!

Can't I go, like, two seconds

without losing my elemental powers?

Fight now and figure it out later.

[grunts]

[groans]

-[screams, groans] -[loud thud]

[pants] I don't get it.

I feel weak and slow! Huh?

[groans]

[grunts]

It's like our hard-earned ninja skills

have been deleted or...

[groaning]

[groans in pain]

-Jay? -[Cole] Hey, Nya,

finding Jay isn't going to be as hard as we thought.

Look!

-How'd he get over there? -Guys! Jay's here!

[groaning]

[Cole] What?

Does he have teleportation powers in this game, or...

[grunting]

Friends of Jay... welcome!

Which of you is the real Jay?

The "real" Jay is in the hearts of all who live by his word.

-Jay's will be done. -In Jay we trust.

We are from "The League of Jay."

Oh!

You're all players,

and you've chosen to play as avatars of Jay.

Uh, we're talking about Jay?

Right? Like, our Jay?

[ship mumbling]

Hurry! Come with us if you want to keep playing!

[all grunting]

I guess we don't have a choice.

[Lloyd grunting]

[groans]

[gasps] How did...

What did just... huh?

Hmm... Maybe you have to double-jump.

Like in other video games, to reach really tall places.

Watch. Jump!

[Cole] Double-jump!

That makes no sense!

[ship mumbling]

[gasps] Go with it!

[ship mumbling]

-Wow! I just jumped on air. -[Beta Jay ] Hurry!

The great Jay wills it so!

I don't get it. [pants]

I run all the time, but I'm already getting tired.

Of course, you're getting tired.

You're a noob.

Your stamina stats are probably quite low.

[groans] Wait.

Are you saying the reason

we don't have our powers is because...

You haven't bought any skills yet.

Here, see my skill tree. See?

I have level Stamina.

And I have enough experience points to buy another skill.

-Here... -[beeps]

"Super-back-flip-flying-kick."

[grunting]

[pants] Seriously?

It took me months to learn that move in the real world.

But in here you just "buy another skill?"

Not fair!

[mumbling]

There may come a day when the courage of Jays fails...

but this is not that day!

Jay-Jago go!

[grunts]

-[screams] -Kai!

[grunts, groans]

[gasps] I'm alive?

How am I alive? I just... I just...

Uh, duh!

Video game!

I just re-spawned.

[scoffs] None of this is real!

[gasps]

It feels real!

We'll draw them away!

Follow the streets to the northwest for blocks.

There you will find one of our allies waiting.

Give him the password, "Mister Cuddlywomp,"

and he will bring you to Superstar Rockin' Jay.

Now FLY!

I understand... kind of.

Hmm, I can see why you are beloved to him.

The Jays said we need to go to...

[gasps] Hide!

Kai! Hide!

Why? This is a game.

If they blast us, we just come back.

Here, I'll distract, you get around behind them.

Hey, guys!

You know who's totally lame?

Unagami, that's who!

The enemies of Unagami must pay!

[g*nf*re]

[yelps]

[Ninjago grunting]

See! "Re-spawn"

is my new favorite word. Whoo-hoo!

Uh, I don't know if that's really smart.

-In games-- -Whatever, Cole.

You're just annoyed that as the team's gaming guru,

you weren't the one who figured this out! Huh!

Come on guys.

This is where they told us to meet.

Only... there's no garage.

Why send us to an empty lot?

I told you. They're wackos!

Anyone who likes Jay that much can't be normal.

Freeze.

[Scott] Talk.

Before Mister Ginormous here does the talking.

Um, sh**t, what was it?

Mister Snugglewump? Fuddlewimp?

No, no, Fud... Fud... Argh!

Buddygump?

"Mister Cuddlywomp."

[sighs] The League sent you, huh?

Let me guess.

You're here to see Superstar Rockin' Jay?

Come on. Before someone sees us.

A cloaked hide out?

-Wow! -Awesome!

[Scott] Name's Scott.

I'm a mechanic.

My garage is hidden by a Level Stealth Barrier.

Those Red Visors can't see it.

[scoffs] Even Unagami can't.

What are you hiding from?

The Red Visors want me to compete

in the Speedway Five-Billion.

Like everyone else.

But I'm smarter.

No thanks.

And the League of Jays keep my secret,

so I help them rebuild their vehicles and weapons and stuff.

Hm. What's this?

-Don't touch that, it's... -[beeps]

-[explodes] -[clinks]

...dangerous.

Huh. I love this infinite-lives-thing!

Infinite?

Who told you that?

You get four lives in Prime Empire.

[Scott] And looks like you've used three.

[gasps] What? What?

Why didn't anyone tell me this?

I tried but you wouldn't listen.

Oh, sure, blame the victim!

So... so wait...

What happens if I lose this last one?

You don't want to know.

It's horrible.

Why do you think I won't race in the Speedway?

I only have one life left myself.

Anyway.

If you seek Super Star Rocking Jay...

This is the way.

We're supposed to trust a complete stranger

and go into a dangerous-looking dark hole?

[upbeat music]

[indistinct chatter]

I... I can't believe this.

Are we in a nightmare?

Attention League of Jay.

[Beta Jay ] Attention League of Jay!

It is time for the arrival of our hero,

our inspiration,

the reason for our very existence...

Superstar Rockin' Jay himself!

[upbeat music]

[laughs] Hmm.

[gasps] Guys?

Is that really you?

[Jay] Wow! [laughs]

I've been waiting for you.

Is this place awesome, or what?
