Previously on Ninjago...

Mysterious snake samurai
things att*ck Ninjago.

Cyrus Borg is missing,

and our team is down
one Master and one Ninja.

Dr. Saunders?

You're Krux.

- Your parents were traitors!
- No!

Oh, Misako.

All the time we have known each other.

Someone wise once said,
"We do not go fonlvard by looking back."

- When did I say that?
- Never.

I did.

Hmm.

Stay by my side, Misako.

Misako?

Misako.

- At my side.
- Of course.

As I always will be.

And as you always will be for me.

- What is it, Wu?
- I haven't told anyone.

But when I fought Acronix
at the monastery,

something happened.

Something bad.

This is bad.

I told everyone to go back
to the Airjitzu temple

while I got you back online.

And still nothing.

All I got left is trying
a total system reboot.

Oh. Eh-eh-ha-ha. Ha-ha.

Nya.

- Oh, I'm so glad you're--
- That potato was a flange.

Forty-one, eight, two, three.
A narwhal horn is to red

as weather is greater than pudding.

Fifty seat auto-doc feeder.

Okay, Zane. Take it easy.

- That's it.
- Banana curtain nine.

Oh, come on.

I've tried everything.

What is going on in there?

What is going on is I'm trying
to unscramble Zane's neural pathway

so we can go rescue Cyrus Borg.

And you haven't tried everything.

You need to realign Zane's neural inputs.

Can you hear me?

- Hello?
- Hello?

- Hotdog rainy day in seven.
- Okay...

Maybe what you need is...

Don't say a new binary power core.

A new binary power core!

-I'll be right back!
- Wait! No, don't leave.

Plate, show, clipboard!

And at the monastery,
Acronix hit me with what he called

the "Time Punch."

Now, I'm rapidly aging.

I would estimate one day every hour.

The effect is accelerating,

and will continue to do so until...

- Master Wu.
- Say nothing.

The Ninja must not be distracted
at this crucial time.

They might be able to help you.

- May I enter?
- My fate is inevitable, Misako.

Like the sun rising in the east.

Like fall turning into winter.

- Wu.
- Master Wu.

You must keep my secret.

How is he?

Still recovering.

There's so little time. So many lessons.

Fight with your back to the sun.

Eight cups of water a day is a myth.

You should've been there
when I fought Acronix but I... I...

Why, he's right.
I should've been at his side.

I failed my Master.

I will not make that mistake again.

Zane is down.

Folks disappearing all over town

and we can't do a thing to help.

If we just knew why Acronix
and Krux are taking people...

You know my theory?

For the last time, they are not hostages.

- How can you be sure?
- No ransom note.

Maybe they're gonna hypnotize
them into being an army.

Krux and Acronix already have an army.

Of samurai snakes!

Well, you know, my other theories...

Do not say alien abductions again.

Or dimensional rifts.

Or Elvin magic portals!

Sorry, it's just I'm tired of speculating.

We need to take action. Right, Kai?

Kai, you okay?

You haven't been the same
since you squared off against Krux.

- Did he do something?
- More like said something.

- No. Nothing. I'm fine.
- Well, good.

'Cause I was just saying,
it's time to stop guessing

and to start fighting.

So, you're suggesting we capture
one of those snake guys

and bring them back here
for Wu to question?

I just wanna fight somebody
but, okay, we could do that too.

- That plan won't work.
- Why not?

Because Master Wu still hasn't recovered
from his battle with Acronix.

He rambles.

He passes out.

I think he's a lot more hurt
than he lets on.

Oh, great. All this,
and now we have no leader either?

Uh, that's not exactly true.

With Wu out of commission, the uh...

The logical successor would be...

The Green Ninja.

Mm, correct.

Uh, Master Lloyd?

Temporary Master Lloyd, you mean.

"In training. "

Okay.

Temporary Master Lloyd-in-training,

we mere Ninja await your words of wisdom.

Which I assume involve kicking some butt

till we get a few answers, right?

Ha-ha. Yeah! Ha-ha.

Wrong. Too random. We need a plan.

We have one.

- Go kick some butt.
- Really?

Whose butt? Where?

- We'll work it out down there.
- No.

We'll work it out here first.

That's what Wu would do.

Come on.

Oh, yeah! ljust love sitting around
and talking instead of doing.

Cut him some slack, guys.
He's doing the best he can.

Huh?

Oh, come on.

Jimmy, you ain't gonna believe...

Jimmy?

Eh-hey! Just called to tell you
that I'm walking to the coffee shop now.

Cool! I'll see you there.

Hello? Hello?

No bars. What's goin' on?

Oh, uh. Ca-can you hear me now?

Now? Huh?

Huh?

The cell tower's down!

Ah! My trophies.

Why would someone steal them?

Why?

Why?

Yes. Soon we will have
all the metal we need.

Courtesy of the Vermillion Warriors!

Really?

- What?
- All the metal? Like that's it?

- Finito?
- Yeah. Why?

Nothing. Nothing. It's fine.

Acronix and Krux signed off on it?

Oh, who cares. Now, let me concentrate.

Increase Operation Heavy Metal.

- Really? That's the name you--
- It doesn't matter.

Help! Someone stole my trophies!

I have an alibi.

Wait. Why would anyone
steal your fake trophies?

I know! They were irreplaceable.

Which is why I'm here to buy replacements.

You want world championships this time
orjust inter-continental?

Uh, uh, uh...

- Let's mix and match.
- One sec.

Uh, they're not with me.

Fellas, we have a very strict
store policy against shoplifting.

Hey! Those are my trophies!

Give them back!

Whoa. Whoa.

Whoa!

So, I think we can safely rule out...

These places as hiding spots
for the missing people.

These are too small.

These are too public,
and these are too obvious.

Or are they so obvious

that they're actually
the perfect hiding spot?

Mmm, interesting.

- What are you doing?
-l'm bored,

so I'm messing with him.

But now Lloyd's starting over.

He's gonna take even longer.

Wens)

Sorry to interrupt what looks to be
the most boring party game ever,

but the city's under att*ck down there.

'Yes!
'Yes!

Uh, uh, I mean, that's horrible.

- Terrible.
- The worst.

There's a bunch of samurai and snakes

stealing every piece of metal
they can find.

They took my trophies. My trophies!

- Any sign of Krux or Acronix?
- Who?

- Doesn't matter. Let's go!
- Well, wait!

This doesn't make sense.

Why are they after metal?

- We can ask as we pummel them.
- No!

It might be a diversion
to draw us away from the temple

so they can finish off Master Wu.

We can't just ignore
the damage they're doing.

Nor that they have my trophies!

I'm not leaving
Master Wu unprotected again.

Well, we're going.

-I'm ordering you to stay!
- And we're ignoring that order.

- So?
- Just go.

Nya will have my back.

Okay. Zane, I...

Zane!

There go my buddy.

My buddy!

Get off my friend!

Come on, Zane. Let's do this!

Executive cucumber!

Oh! Or maybe you should sit this one out.

Fiber zing taco. Fiber zing taco.

Brace yourself, Zane.

I'm re-routing all
existing power to your chest.

In three, two, one.

Total electrical overload.

Nice move, buddy.

I knew you were in there somewhere.

Of course, now I
have to reboot you again, but...

Oh! They stole my Samurai X gear.

I hate not having tunes on the ride,

but the USB port is the only way
to power you back up.

Those snakes stole from the wrong girl.

Uh, all these tunnels
under the city look the same.

Pretty confusing, I'll bet.

It's a secret lair.

It's supposed to be hard to find.

Yeah, but not for us.

I'll figure it out in a second.

Oh, get with the times, brother.

My new BorgWatch has built-in GPS.

The, uh...

What's wrong?

Uh, nothing. Just respecting
your feelings about tradition and...

No service.

That's why I don't get with the times.

The old ways are still superior.
Follow me.

I hope things are going
this well top-side.

Yes, Operation Heavy Metal's so good,

the Ninja don't even know what's up.

Nothing will stop us!

Way to jinx it.

Last one up is a rotten Ninja!

Clear off as many snakes as you can.

Wow! Total snake invasion.

Why am I so good? It's a curse, really.

Oh! Great.

Whoa!

Nya, what are you doing here?

Came to warn you about
the metal-stealing snakes

but it looks like you already know.

- How's Zane?
- He's, uh...

All the goggles on our vegetables.

Fifty-three, eleven.

Uh, we're still working out some kinks.

- Fleeing sauce is out.
- That's right. Bring it on!

Oh-ho! Oh!

Oh, boy.

Free the top men, Dareth.

Sorry, uh, my back's totally jacked again.

These guys took your trophies.

Brown Ninja vengeance!

- 0oh!
- 0w!

My leg! I think you broke it.

Gotta get more snakes.

Nya, where you going?

Come on!

Jay! Cole! Let's go!

So, does anyone have a plan?

Welcome to Ninjago!

No! They failed!

And we haven't collected
nearly enough metal yet.

No, you haven't.

Uh, was she here the whole time?

Your plan didn't just have a stupid name,

it was also a stupid idea.

So, now, it's my turn.

Commence with Operation Blackout.

That should buy the time you'll
need to collect more metal,

assuming you don't mess that up
as you did this.

"Operation Blackout."

Good name.

- You're worried?
- Yes.

- Master Wu looks pale.
- No.

I mean, you're worried
about Cole, Jay, and Kai.

No. I'm mad at them.

I gave them an order
and they disobeyed me.

So, not worried at all.

Okay, fine. But you heard Master Wu.

He wished I was there for him
when he fought Acronix.

I won't leave and disappoint him again.

You did not disappoint me, Lloyd.

- Master.
- When I said I wished "you" were there,

I was speaking of you, the team.

If I'd brought the entire group,

perhaps things would be different.

You still appear concerned. What is it?

My first time in charge and I blew it.

The guys ignored my orders.

Master,

what do I do now?

Ugh.

I'm no leader.

All I do is make mistakes.

May I tell you a secret?

Master Wu makes mistakes too,

a lot of them.

The true measure of a leader
is not whether he makes mistakes,

it is whether he learns from them.

Wu's mistake was going in alone.

So was mine.

I'm supposed to be
fighting alongside my friends.

Yes.

Even if they aren't
ready to follow you yet,

they will be.

But I don't know where they are.

Okay. That's a pretty big clue.

Thanks, Mom.

You can stop pretending now.

Lloyd must learn
to make his own decisions.

He will be a real Master soon enough.

And by the way...

I do not make a lot of mistakes.

No.

Just one big one.

What took you so long?

We were, uh-uh.. Hey!

How'd you know those whatever-they-are's
would be coming here?

Well, when all the power went out,
I assumed they must be at the source.

You figured that out yourself? Nice.

We had to follow them.

I should've been following them
with you guys from the beginning.

-I'm sorry.
- Yeah. Yeah, so are we.

So, what's the plan,
Temporary Master Lloyd?

In training.

We go in there and kick some snake butt.

Or whatever passes for a snake's butt.

- Like it?
- I love it!

Yeah! That's a great plan!

The treadmill was invented in 1818.

All right, snakes, time to--

Where are they?

The place looks empty.

Zane, you detecting any snakes?

- Cranberries. Corkscrew. Squab.
- Multiple contacts,

six meters in.

Uh, after a while, you start
to pick up on the meaning.

That's a bunch
of office warriors, literally!

Okay, let's do this! All of us!

- All of us?
- Right.

Zane, stay here.

Mute.

NINJAAAA-GO!

You don't look so big.

And now you do.

A desk is no good without a chair!

Have a seat.

Oh, come on!

I hate not having the full team.

We could really use Zane's help.

Right now, he basically has one move.

Short himself out
with a massive blast of power.

It creates a magnetic field
that yanks off their armor.

Those turbines, they're basically
big, rotating electromagnets, right?

Yeah, basically.

So, if Zane were to hook in directly
and supercharge one of them,

-all this metal armor the snakes have--
- I'm on it!

Zane! I need you.

Pug knock!

We have to buy Nya and Zane a little time.

NINJAAAA-GO!

Got it! Now, Zane, now!

Goggle's my buddy. Goggle's my buddy!

We need more juice.

- Jay!
- On it.

Boo!

That's right. Slither away!

Way to go, Nya!

It was Lloyd's plan.

Way to go, Master Lloyd.

Yeah, you forgot
the temporary, in-training part.

I know. Don't let it go to your head.

Uh, not to ruin the feel-goods,

but maybe we should save the celebrating

for after we get
the power and Zane back on?

One more switch, and...

Huh, well, we know
civilization has been restored.

The TV is working again.

Hello, everyone.

- What have I missed?
- Oh, not much.

Missing people and snakes
trying to steal your metal skin.

But we kicked their butts.

If in fact they have butts.
It's still an open question.

But for now, it's game over.

Uh, I'm not so sure of that.

Snakes are attacking
Monster Amusement Park.

They appear to be after anything metal
that isn't nailed down,

including the nails themselves.

Ninja, we're leaving.

Nya, when this is all over,

there's something I need to tell you.

- Something important.
- Okay, big brother.

An amusement park, really?

- Do these guys hate fun?
- Nah.

- More like they love metal.
-lt's agreed.

I cannot think of a better place
to steal it from.

I'm sure you concur, P.l.X.A.L.

- P.I.X.A.L.?
- Now, let's roll.

I've got a Samurai X suit to get back!

Wait!

There is a better place. A scrapyard.

Like the one that belongs

to my parents!
