13x02 - Into the Dark

[bunniefuu]

See, I told yea.

Amazing.

I'll admit.

I wasn't sure could live up to the legend. But...

it's even more beautiful.

The Ivory City Of Shintaro.

Incredible.

It is with great honer King Vangelis.

That I present the famed ninja of Ninjago.

Welcome, welcome!

I'm most pleased that you were able to accept our invitation

It is an honor.

The honor is ours.

Shintaro is beyond anything we imagine.

I am only a figure head.

The citizens of your pride city are the heart of Shintaro.

Oh! Their here.

And please meet my heart.

Her royal princess, Vanya.

I am such a fan.

I've read all about your adventures.

It was my idea to invite you to my birthday.

Well it's an honor to be here, princess.

So, is it true that you've been to Hiroshi's Labyrinth?

Affirmative.

Competed in The Tournament of Elements?

Oh, do you have stories for you.

I need to hear them all.

Where shall we begin?

You can begin by following me.

Tomorrow will be a very busy day for all of us.

Cold, earth elemental.

What is it like to command very earth?

Is it as fun as it sounds?

Yeah, pretty much.

Huh, weird.

The princess seems to like Cole.

I mean he's my best friend and all but Cole.

Yeah, weird?

Hello Cole.

Lloyd, how did you sneak in here?

I'm a ninja remember?

I'm here to warn you about the princess.

I think she's lying, Cole.

And I think she's up to something.

I can tell.

They're all the same.

All princesses?

That seems a little bit judgey.

Wait a second.

This is because of her roomie?

No not at all.

Because that's literally one example of that

Besides I don't even like Vanya like that.

We just met. Calm down Lloyd.

Okay, Loyd, look...

Your not Vanya.

What?

Hey, get back here.

Sir, is everything all right?

There must be a...a secret passage or trapdoors some where.

That's how he got in.

Huh, he, sir?

There was a...a little
purple creature in my room.

It att*cked me in bed.

Emergency ninja meeting.

th floor lobby.

Cole?

Oh boy. I'm sorry Master Wu,
but we have to wake the others

So let me get this straight.

You pulled me out of the most luxurious bed ever.

It felt like a cloud of warm contentment

Because you saw a creature in your bedroom.

Yes, I told you.

It tried to att*ck me, and when I fought back.

It ran off somewhere.

It disappeared. But get this.

The weirdest part.

Is that the creature was wearing my mother's necklace.

Cole, um...are you sure this really happened?

Like in reality?

What do you mean?

I believe he is implying that you were dreaming.

It wasn't a dream.

I recognized it right away.

It had a picture of my parents inside it.

So where is it?

Well, I don't have it on me.

The creature grabbed it back before he vanished.

Oh Cole, buddy, go back to bed.

It must have been a dream, Cole.

Because I do not recall your mother ever having a locket.

She did.

I've seen pictures of it.

We have to tell King Vangelis.

Whoa, slow down.

It's not that we don't believe you.

I don't believe him.

We're guests here.

We can't wake up the King in the middle of the night.

But?

Cole, go to sleep.

We can discuss all of this in the morning.

Okay?

Got yea now you little purple...

Oh princess Vanya?

oh, wow, sorry I thought you were someone else, I swear.

I heard what you said back there.

About the little purple creature.

Oh great another person thinks I'm imagining things.

Oh, I don't think that at all.

You don't?

When I was a child.

I thought I had an imaginary friend.

A little purple creature who used to follow me around.

Now I'm starting to wonder if my
imaginary friend was a real friend.

Follow me, this way.

Here.

The palace gardens.

This is where Mr. Sparkles and I used to play.

That's what I called him.

All the adults insisted I dreamed him up in my head.

But I swear.

He used to come right up out there there.

There used to be some mines under the city.

But my father ordered them all
covered up for the public safety.

Mines?

Long ago, before my people settled here.

There was an older city run by the super evil sorcerer.

Who built tunnels and mines and
dungeons deep in the mountain.

He's gone now, but.

The dungeons are still there so my father
forbade anyone from entering them.

It's too dangerous.

Look, princess, forbidden or not.

I have to find out how my mom's
necklace ended up with that purple dude.

Okay, I'm in

Are those...where did you...

Always onward.

The adventurous motto.

What if the King finds out?

I'm not some small child anymore.

I'm old enough to decide things on my own

Well in that case.

Always onward.

And into the vines of an evil sorcerer.

I remember so many incredible stories about
the evil sorcerer told by Candlelight.

He was called hathatdor.

Isn't that creepy?

People have weird names back then I guess.

And he had all these evil powers and...

Oh, look train tracks.

Wonder where those go?

Let's take the other tunnel.

So anyway.

A long long long time ago.

The evil sorcerer
was vanquished.

And they say his bones are still
down here in this mountain somewhere.

Maybe we'll see them.

Wouldn't that be great?

Yeah great

Wow.

Oh, my, look all these creatures.

Those look just like Mr. Sparkles.

Yeah, and just like the one that was in my room.

But who are those guys?

I don't know.

But they don't look happy.

They're all chained up.

Who dares...Who dares to disturb the working?

Who's that?

I want you. All of you.

The work must not stop.

Or there would be punishment

Punish him, Punish

I don't know what's going on here.

But I know a bad guy I see one.

And that is a bad guy.

Get back and tell your dad what's going on.

Tell him to bring his guards.

And wake up my friends.

What about you?

I'm the elemental master of Earth.

And I'm surrounded by earth.

I'm gonna do what I do best.

The next to defy me shout fear.

Hey, buddy, hey their.

Names Cole, ninja.

Ah, I heard there was some jerk down here.

Chaining people up, making them work.

You seen any jerks around?

Get him!

What the...Oh, come on.

Oh yea. How about you give me the keys to all these chains?

Before I really get angry.

You have meddled in the wrong place.

Now you will witness my true wrath.

The wrath of the Skull Sorcerer.

What? No fair.

The wrath of the Skull Sorcerer.
