13x14 - The Ascent

♪ Go, Ninjago ♪

[Master Wu] "The Ascent."

Here are the facts!

We are lost underground, separated from our friends,

who are being hunted by an evil necromancer

and an army of reanimated skeletons.

We have very few weapons and no way out.

But we are not giving in to despair.

[Master Wu] Where there is a will, there is a way,

and we will find it.

I want suggestions! Ideas!

Uh...

-Uh... -[gasps]

Ooh.

[Cole] I've got an idea!

But this one's a little nuts.

-This one? -Let's hear it.

[rasping]

[Cole] These are the tracks we found earlier,

which I'm guessing lead to the surface.

And let's pretend this is the mine cart.

We take the wheels off of it,

strap the axle to the mech,

like a pair of giant roller-skates,

and use the mech to propel the other carts

back up the tracks.

Propellant, please.

Then we get in the carts,

and go zipping back up the tracks,

like this...

[expl*si*n]

expl*si*n is us?

That idea seems a little, uh...

What's the word I'm looking for?

Oh, yeah, nuts.

I told you that at the start.

[scoffs] Nobody listens.

Well, I don't hear any other suggestions.

So unless you guys want to give up

and just go back to Rock-Bottom...

I vote in favor of Cole's plan.

As do I!

Korgran Also.

And also, Korgran's non-speaking a*.

[laughs] You guys are bananas!

Huh?

Well, Plundar?

What do your dice advise?

I'm deciding this one.

And you got me this far, so I'm with you all the way.

[suspenseful music]

[clanging]

[Korgran grunting]

[clanging]

[grunts]

I don't get it.

There's no buttons, no dials,

how are you supposed to operate this thing?

-[gasps] -[rumbles]

What did you do?

Nothing. I barely touched it.

Hmm.

Is it possible that this mech is powered entirely by Elemental Energy?

[whirring]

Huh?

-[gasping] -[Master Wu chuckles]

This is gonna be a piece of cake!

[all gasping, groaning]

[Cole] Sorry, my bad.

[both sigh]

[suspenseful music]

Uh, left! A little left!

Careful!

[Master Wu] Keep it together, Cole.

-Concentrate. -[Cole grunting]

[Cole] Okay, I think I got it now.

You can do this.

It's just like walking on roller skates.

On really big, giant-sized roller skates.

[Cole gasping]

[all gasping]

[all screaming]

Whoops! [chuckles]

Sorry about that.

[Cole] Oh...

[yells, grunting]

Whoops. [chuckles]

Sorry.

Cole.

Okay, I definitely got it now.

-[thuds] -[clangs]

Looks good!

-[mech whirring] -[clanking]

Everyone ready?

No. Not really.

-I'm worried. -Don't be.

This is gonna work.

Not that. It's my father.

If we get out of here, I'm going to have to face him.

-Aren't I? -Yeah.

But not alone.

We'll be with you.

Okay. Let's do it.

Here goes nothing.

[engine roaring]

Is it too late for me to change my mind?

[whirring]

[all yell]

[engine stops]

-[both] Huh? -[all yell]

[grunts]

[all scream]

[thuds]

[all screaming]

[Master Wu gasping]

Oh, no, no!

This is outrageous.

[all screaming]

[both sigh]

Cole! The lava monster!

What if it's still in that cave waiting for us?

What, just standing there? Staring at a wall?

[Cole] No way, I'm sure he's gone back to his...

[Cole screams]

[all yelling]

[all gasping]

Eat my dust!

[all yell]

You did it, Cole, we're losing him.

Oh, dear.

[screeching]

[grunts]

[yells]

Hey! [giggles]

[grunting]

-Whew. -[gasping]

[Cole] Hey!

You again?

[roars]

[Cole grunting] Ah!

[Cole grunting]

[thudding]

[Cole grunting]

This thing has a sword?

Yeah!

[grunts]

[Vania] Cole, the mine cart!

Stop the mine cart!

[Master Wu] Cole!

[Korgran] Look!

[all screaming]

-Master Wu! -[Vania] Hurry, Cole!

We're not gonna make it!

Yes, we will!

[all yelling]

[all gasping]

[all cheer, giggle]

Big stone thing flies, too?

You guys okay?

We're going too fast.

I can't slow it down.

The lava is overheating the controls.

[Cole] This is gonna get a little bumpy.

[all scream]

What did you say, Engelbert?

Me? Nothing.

Oh. I thought you made a sound.

What kind of sound?

A sound like...

Whoo!

"Whoo"?

Don't be ridiculous.

Why would I make a sound like...

[all screaming]

[whirring]

[all groaning]

[chittering]

[both squeal]

Whoo!

[clanking]

[groaning]

Are you okay?

Oh, look.

[Vania] We're in the palace gardens.

[Fungus] Is that the sky?

It sure is.

You mean we made it?

We're out?

[all cheer]

-We made it! -[giggles]

We are no longer Lowly!

We're the Upply!

[Lowly chanting] Upply! Upply! Upply!

[gasping]

[chitters]

Chompy? Did my father do this to you?

Oh, that makes me mad!

That makes me so mad!

Just hang on, Chompy.

Cole?

[clanks]

Oh! [giggles]

[both screeching]

[Vania chuckles]

Halt!

Princess Vania?

Hailmar!

You.

Hailmar, it's okay. Cole is a friend.

[Hailmar] The King gave orders for the Ninja to be arrested.

On sight!

He said they are traitors.

That's not true!

My father is the traitor, Hailmar!

[Vania] He's lying to you!

Stand aside, Princess!

Hailmar, listen!

My father is lying to you!

He's using you!

Cole, and these men, they were betrayed my father.

They were cast into the mountain!

Stand aside! On the King's orders!

-Go! -What?

He won't hurt me. Just go.

Cole, I will stay with her.

Find the others, save them.

On the King's orders,

I command you, stand aside!

[suspenseful music]

[both grunt]

Master Wu, catch!

[grunting]

Stop! I command you...

-Chompy! -[roars]

Chompy?

[roars]

att*ck!

Stop!

[Vania] Hailmar, stand down.

I command you.

I am the heiress to the throne of Shintaro

and your future queen.

Call off your dragon.

Not until you're ready to listen.
