"The News Never Sleeps!"[/i]

[alarm clock buzzes]

This is it. This is it!

[upbeat music]

Honey! Time to wake up!

[Nelson] I'm up, Mum.

Nelson? Why are you--

I'm starting today, remember?
As a paperboy.

I gotta run. See ya, Mum.

Wait, wait.
I'll make you a sandwich.

I already did. It's in my bag.

I gotta get my bike ready.

[panting]

Hey, forget something?

-Mum, please. I'm gonna be late.
-[smooches]

What do you do
when you get to an intersection?

Look both directions.

I'm not six anymore, Mum.

I know, I know. Just be careful.

We don't want
any more boo-boos, right?

-I will, I promise.
-Oh!

[chuckles]
Fresh meat, huh?

How long you think
he's gonna last?

Eh, don't listen, kid.
You'll be fine.

A buck says he doesn't make it
to the end of the day.

[gate latch opens]

Hey, listen up. Announcements.

[clears throat]
Routes and are closed

due to hostile conditions.

And Route is designated
quadruple black diamond.

Avoid with extreme prejudice.

-Got it?
-[cyclists chatter indistinctly]

Ten-Speed and Spokes
are out with injuries,

and Knuckles, uh, quit.

-[cyclists groaning]
-[girl] Man!

[clears throat]
So that leaves us short,

but we'll manage, right?

Right? Does the news sleep?

[all] The news never sleeps!

Oh, yeah, one more thing.

Uh, we got a new paperboy.

What's your name again, kid?

Uh, N... Nelson?

N... Nelson,
you're with Antonia.

Show him the ropes, Antonia,
bring him back alive.

All right then.

Kick the tires! Light the fires!

Let's go!

[suspenseful music]

Ready, kid?

What... what did he mean,
bring me back alive?

Hey, relax.
Do what I say, when I say,

and you'll make it. I promise.

Make it? Why wouldn't I make it?

What do you mean, make it?

-It's Ninjago City.
-[toots horn]

What? Wait. Wait for me.

[Nelson panting]

[bell chimes]

-[cars honk]
-[Nelson yelling]

[car honks, screeches]

What... what's that?

[fireballs whistle]

[Nelson screams shakily]

[roars]

[yelling]

[growls]

[Serpentines roar]

[Nelson] Wait.

What's happening?
Why are there giant snakes?

And why are they falling
out of the sky?

-And why are they made of fire?
-Who knows?

Just keep your head down,
and keep pedalling.

How is that gonna help?

Wait. Wait!

[man screams]

[hisses]

[Nelson] That's Samurai X,
fighting three giant snakes.

Wait for my cue, and when I say,

go as fast as you can. Got it?

Now! Burn rubber!

Burn?
[gasps]

Excuse me. Coming through.

[roars]

Hey, come on.

-He needs our help.
-Trust me, kid, he doesn't.

He's got this.

Wow.

What'd I tell you?
Can we go now?

[Nelson] Is it always like that
out here?

Like what?

Missiles and monsters and snakes

and lava balls and giant robots?

-[expl*si*n in distance]
-[Antonia] Pretty much.

Another time,
it was a giant stone monster

and a bunch of crazy bikers.

Aw, man.

My lunch got hit by a fireball.

Go on.

Thanks.

We paperboys
gotta stick together.

The city's crazy,
but everyone's doing their part.

We may not be ninja,
but our job's important, too.

People gotta know
what's going on.

The news never sleeps.

The news never sleeps.

[upbeat music]

[growls]

I'll go left, you go right.

[roars]

[growls]

[whistle tweeting]

Thanks, new guy.

Thanks, Antonia.

What's that?

-[Clutch screaming] Help!
-[Antonia] I have no clue.

[Clutch groans]

[siren blaring]

Gee, Mister. You okay?

[stammers]
Where am I? What day is it?

What? It's Monday.

You're in Ninjago City.

You must have hit
your head pretty hard.

I gotta warn someone.
I gotta tell them.

-Tell them what?
-The Ninja. They're trapped.

They need help!

Trapped? Where? How?

The pyramid. Someone's gotta...

[groans]
Get to the pyramid,

to help them, before...

Before...

[groans]

Before...

[gasps]

[siren wailing]

He'll be okay. Don't worry.

Hey, what about what he said?

About the Ninja?

We're paperboys, kid.

That's a little
out of our league.

Which way is the monastery?

Forget it.

It's not our problem.

You said we have
a responsibility.

It's our job to let people know
what's happening.

[Nelson]
The news never sleeps, remember?

The monastery is that way.

And the only way there
from here is Route .

Which you don't want. Trust me.

"Everyone has to do their part."

Those were your words.

[sighs]

Okay, kid. But stick close.

This could get hairy.

-[siren wails]
-[glass shatters]

This way!

[suspenseful music]

[snake roars]

This is it. Route .

Still sure you wanna try it?

-[expl*si*n]
-[snake roars]

Oh, no.

Come on. It's now or never.

Wait. I'm not sure
this was a good idea.

Too late! Just do what I do,
and you'll make it.

Come on!

-[tires screech]
-[Antonia grunts, pants]

Your turn. Come on!

No, no, no, wait. No way.

No, no, no, no, no.
I can't do that.

[Antonia] You gotta!
You don't have a choice!

Come on!

[growls]

Ninja never quit.

[snake roars]

[gasping]

Nothing broken?

I'm alive. I'm alive!

Told ya you could do it.

[snake snarls]

-[panting]
-I... I can't believe...

We're here.

We're actually here.

Hope you know
what you're gonna say, kid.

Me? Why me?

This was your idea.

May I help you?

You're... you're...

Go on, tell him.

We found a guy in the city
who crashed into some bushes

riding a fireball,

and he told us
the ninja are in trouble.

What? Where? How?

He said they were trapped
in a pyramid.

In the desert.

And you came all this way
to tell me?

Just doing our part, sir.

Like everyone else.

[Master Wu] Thank you, my son.

You remind me
of another young boy

who was once a student of mine.

His name was Lloyd.

I must tell Pixal.

Thank you, both of you.

Straight home now. Go!

And please, be careful.

He just compared me
to the Green Ninja.

Did you hear that?

I heard it.

Come on, purple ninja.

The news never sleeps.
