[thudding intensifies]

[gasps]

Who is it?

[shudders]

Whoa!

[shuddering]

Who are you? What do you want?

Revenge!

[Zane whimpers]

[snarls]

[gasps, whimpers]

[ominous music]

[beeping rapidly]

[panting]

[screaming]

No, no.

[thumping]

[roars]

Zane. Wake up, Zane.

Cole's about to b*at
your high score.

[gasping]

[gasps]
Jay.

I just had a terrible nightmare.

Oh I'm afraid it's not
a dream, Zane. It's real.

Cole's about to b*at
your high score!

Not that. I had a nightmare

something terrible's
going to happen.

There was an evil serpent
with a w*apon,

and it zapped me with it,
and there was an ice castle,

and a dragon, and...

[shushes]
Relax, Zane.

It was just a dream.

It was a vision.

Zane, when was the last time

one of your visions
actually came true?

All of my visions
have come true.

Uh, like which?

Like the vision
about the Titanium Dragon,

and the vision before that,
about the Green Ninja,

and the time before that,
about the--

Okay, okay,
but this is different.

Now, seriously,

Cole's about to b*at
your Lava Zombie score,

and I don't wanna miss it.
So come on.

[video game beeping]

Get the guy on the left.

[thumping, beeping]

Cole, you're on fire!

[Nya] Whoo-hoo! You did it!

[all cheering]

That was awesome!

Whoo-hoo! Lava Zombie king.

Aw, man. We missed it.

Congratulations, Cole.

That is quite an achievement.

Thanks, buddy. No hard feelings?

Of course not.

Ah, good.

Because my arm is pretty sore.

I'm sore just from watching.

Know what I'm thinking?

[all] Hot tub!

Kai, a little heat, please?

But of course.

[all giggle]

[all sighs]

[slurps, sighs sharply]

This is the life.

Oh, we earned it, pal.
[sighs sharply]

Fighting all those bad guys,

saving Ninjago.

-[door opens]
-[all gasp]

I can't believe
we're back to this.

[farts]

-What?
-After every big victory,

you get lazy.

Complacent. Careless.

Uh, that is not true.

We're recovering.
We're resting our muscles.

It was months ago.

Months? Really?

Are you sure?

Yes.

Oh, well, who's counting?

I am! Look at yourselves.

[Master Wu] You've gone soft.

You do nothing all day
but play video games

and eat cake,

and soak in this... This...

Hot tub?

It's not a hot tub!

It's the sacred Bell
of Divinity.

[Master Wu] Out! Out!
All of you!

[overlapping dialogues]

[thuds]

Emergency meeting
in the monastery.

In three minutes.

You have become soft.

Lazy.

Flabby.

Okay, that's getting
a tad personal.

Nobody has gone soft, Master Wu.

-I promise you.
-[slurping]

We are in perfect condition.

[belches]

Silence.

Since ancient times,

the hills around this monastery
have been populated

by a species of highly
aggressive predator.

The first monks
built the walls extra tall

to keep them out.

They failed.

[creature snarling]

[Master Wu]
Many monks were lost.

What's in the box?

[Master Wu] In order to survive,

the monks became faster,
stronger, more cunning.

They evolved into ninja.

To this day, it is a test

that every ninja must face.

Uh, test?
[slurps]

To prove their courage,

they must survive five minutes

in a room with one of these.

[glass shatters]

[ominous music]

[creaks]

[clucking]

[exclaims, then laughs]

Oh, he had me going there
for a sec.

Heh, who knew Wu
had a sense of humour?

-Ha-ha-ha.
-[shrieks]

[ninjas clamouring]

[bell dings]

[clamouring ceases]

[all groan]

[overlapping dialogues]

Hey.

We got the chicken.

Yeah, it's in the box.

[panting]
We're... We're as sharp as ever.

You are weak and slow.

A ninja's guard is never down!

A ninja expects the unexpected.

He is ready for anything.

Right.
[belches]

That's us.

[chuckles]

We shall see.

-What does that mean?
-[chicken squawks]

[ominous music]

-[clinking]
-Whoa.

Whoa. Ow, ow, ow, ow!

[clucks]

[screaming]

[gasps]

[groans]

[screams]

[wails]

Ganache frosting.

[yells]

This has to stop.

We have to do something, Lloyd!

Okay, okay. Let me think.

This is ridiculous.

Let's just go and talk to him.

Like reasonable ninja.

[upbeat music]

Master Wu, is there anything
that we can do,

as a group,
that would prove to you

that we have not gone soft?

So you could stop
booby-trapping stuff?

There is one thing.

What's that?

Prove me wrong

by defeating me in combat.

Combat?

But I thought you said
fighting never proves anything.

Except in this case.

It will prove
you can still fight.

We can't fight you.

You're our master.

And no offense, but,

well, you're kinda old.

Ah, is that why?

You sure you aren't...

afraid?

-[all laughing]
-Yeah, right.

Then prove it.

att*ck me.

[action music]

Hyah.
[grunts]

-[gasps, grunts]
-Fail.

-[yells]
-Fail.

-[groans]
-Fail.

Hyah!

Whoa!

-[gasps]
-[Master Wu] Fail.

-[gasps, screams]
-Fail.

Hyah.

-[groans]
-[Master Wu chuckles]

Fail.

[grunts]
Okay, it's on.

No more Mr Nice Ninja.

Come on guys, we can take him.

You wanna rumble?
You got the rumble.

What?

[Master Wu]
Your elemental powers

no longer obey you. Hyah!

-[chuckles then grunts]
-Hyah!

Well, I haven't forgotten
how to use mine.

[grunts]
[gasps]

Uh, Zane?

-[grunts, groans]
-[chuckles]

Gosh, sorry.

Fire!

Hmm.

[grunting]

-[Wu grunting]
-Get his legs! Hold him!

Those are my legs!

-[Zane sighs]
-Slow and clumsy.

Huh? How'd he get up there?

This is getting embarrassing!

Ninjago!

Whoa.

Mm.

[all grunting]

Ah!

[grunts]

[groans]
Ouch.

Ahh!
[thuds]

[Zane] Whoa!
[thuds]

[Kai yells, grunts]

[Nya screams, grunts]

[breathing heavily]

[chuckles]

[action music]

[grunting]

[yells]

Fail.

[groans]

[all groaning]

Ganache frosting.

-[Kai] Maybe Wu's right.
-[Jay] I think so.

[Lloyd] We need a quest.

-[Nya] Yeah.
-[Zane] Uh-huh.

-[screeching]
-Oh, no.

[Jay]
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

-[yells]
-[screeches]

[ninjas yelling]

[Jay] I looked it in the eye!
