We came all this way looking for the Serpentine

to help battle the Overlord

and there is literally no sign of them.

I believe this is what's called "a total bust."

Oh, thanks for rubbing it in.

The good news is they would've only gotten in the way.

We're better off without them.

We need allies!

We can't do this alone!

That's the human part of you talking.

If you would embrace your Oni side,

you would discover your full strength.

My humanity is not weak!

And relying on allies and having friends

and having compassion for others doesn't make you weak!

Having what now?

It means caring!

Of course you don't know what it means.

You're incapable of compassion!

I know what caring means.

And I am not incapable of it!

I am learning how to have... "complassion."

Compassion.

And that's ridiculous.

You can't "learn" how to care.

You either care or you don't.

Are you sure?

You're an Oni.

The Oni are incapable of caring.

All they do is destroy.

So is it any wonder I don't want to embrace my Oni side?

[Lloyd] Let's go.

I left a message for the Serpentine.

But at this rate, I doubt anyone will ever--

[banging]

Did you hear that?

Maybe someone's still here!

Come on!

[soft somber music]

[blasting]

[Jay] Remind me? Does Vengestone sink or float?

[intense music]

Let's do an experiment to find out!

[intense music]

Finally! Now, send the signal and...

What's wrong?

I don't know if I can do this.

My powers are barely there, Jay.

I believe in you.

You're just saying that because you're my yang.

I'm saying it because it's true.

I've seen you do amazing, impossible things.

I've seen you ride whales, and fight dragons,

and command the sea.

You can do this.

[determined sigh]

[intense determined music]

[grunts]

[Jay] Did it work?

I don't know. I hope so.

[Blazey] In the streets of this city,

there's a legend spoken of in whispers.

A legend of a woman who was born

the living embodiment of speed.

Some say she's a myth.

A legend.

But I know she's real, because--

-[Vinny screams] -That woman is me!

Blazey H. Speed!

[intense race music]

[screaming]

[tires screeching]

I think we just broke a land-speed record!

I think you forgot to use your blinker on that turn!

You're the one who needs to get to NGTV Tower

and send a distress call to some queen.

Princess. Princess Vania of Shintaro.

To bring her flying army to fight the Overlord.

Right! And I'm going to do what it takes to get you there!

Yes, great, but crashing on the way won't help!

So maybe if we could go just a little bit slower...

[screams]

-[blasting] -[screaming]

Then again, fast is good!

-[tires screeching] -[Vinny and Cole screaming]

That's what I call defensive driving.

-[blasting] -[screaming]

Hello? Is anyone here?

I'm not sure it's a good idea to be shouting like that.

I heard someone!

[Garmadon] It could have been anything, like...

[gasps] Three infected Serpentine.

[intense suspenseful music]

[blasting]

You know what...

I'm actually glad we bumped into you g*ons,

I've got some frustrations I need to work out!

Yeah... that felt good.

[Garmadon's battle cry]

Wait! Don't destroy him!

Oh, I... I thought...

Why did you think I was going to destroy him?

Well, it's just in the old days,

destroying was sort of your whole thing.

I suppose.

But now, it's like, if I were in his position,

I would want to... not be destroyed?

Or something? I don't know.

Whatever. Let's go.

[Serpentine hissing]

That might have actually been a moment of... "complassion?"

[Blazey cheers]

There are too many! We won't make it!

I've still got some tricks up my sleeve.

-[uptempo racing music] -[screaming]

[screaming]

[scoffs] Gravity. What a drag.

[screaming]

[uptempo racing music]

Now we just need to cross the river and... uh-oh.

Uh-oh? What does "uh-oh" mean?

You're not going to try to jump a completely vertical bridge,

are you?

No. That would be nuts.

That bridge isn't "completely" vertical.

It's "nearly" vertical.

[both gulp]

[intense racing music]

[screaming]

-[crashing] -[tires screeching]

[sigh in relief]

Welcome to the NGTV building,

where the local time is four o'clock.

I'd like to thank you all for using "Blazey H. Speed Travel"

and ask you to please take your belongings with you

as you exit the vehicle.

[kissing]

[water dripping]

-What's wrong? -Nothing.

What? What is it?

[groans softly] I don't want to talk about it.

Wait. Where's your pet plant?

I got rid of it.

Why'd you do that?

[Garmadon] Why not?

You can't "learn" how to care, remember?

You either feel something or you don't.

Okay, I shouldn't have said what I said.

I was... I was wrong, okay?

You are most confusing. [sighs]

So... you think it may be possible

for an Oni to learn to care?

I don't know. Maybe.

You clearly care about that plant.

I guess I was just feeling a little...

-[Garmadon] What? -[Lloyd] Nothing.

[Lloyd] Just come on. Let's go get him.

[suspenseful music]

[Vinny] We're transmitting!

Camera's rolling, in three... two... one!

Princess Vania, it's me, Cole.

You told me once if I ever needed help,

you'd bring the entire army of Shintaro to my aid.

I think you meant it metaphorically.

But that's actually what I need,

literally, the entire army of Shintaro.

Tell her about the Overlord.

The Overlord is attacking Ninjago City

with a whole bunch of bad guys including your father!

So seriously, bring the entire army, please--

Look out!

-[intense music] -[blasting]

[roaring]

[blasting]

[monster roaring]

[metal creaking]

The message? Did it transmit?

I... I don't think so.

[drumming music]

Ninja! Report in!

Were you able to send out the distress calls?

[Nya] I tried, Master Wu.

But I'm not sure my signal was strong enough

to reach Merlopia.

We left a message for the Serpentine,

but the only ones we found were infected.

They're all gone.

-[yelping] -[Vinny whimpering]

Our mission was just as useless!

We recorded a message to Vania,

but some of those flying creatures showed up, and...

Anyway, the message didn't transmit. Sorry!

[sighs]

Then we can't count on anyone coming to our aid.

I need all of you back here at once.

We're going to have to find another way to save Ninjago.

[tense music]

[tires screeching]

[static]

If there is another way.
