[bunniefuu]

ANNOUNCER:
Previously on Ninjago:

We had an uninvited
guest on the island.

KAI:
Nya! He wants
us all to hunt her down.

Back to our plan to all
of us are getting out of here.

You're the only one
who can stop it.

GARMADON:
A transformation spell.

NYA: They took everyone.
KAI: Chen's your father?

Whip around and spin *

* Ninja, go

* Ninja, go
Ninja, go *

[DRUMMING INTENSE b*at]

[MEN CHANTING]

Bring in the prisoners.

So the ninja were right.

This was never about any
of us winning the tournament.

This was always
about something sinister.

What gave that away?
Was it his cult following,

or the giant snake head?

We've been fighting
each other for so long,

it took us all losing
to finally pull us together.

Too bad it's too late.

[HUMMING]

Why are you humming?

You do know they're
about to take our powers?

Since these cursed shackles
have blocked our powers,

I choose to use the power
of positive thinking.

Lloyd will come save us.

You just wait.

Go ahead and look away,
but you know as well as I do,

after he takes our powers,
he's still gonna need yours.

You don't understand. My father
gets everything he wants.

I had no choice.
Just tell me one thing.

Was it his idea to make me
fall for you, or yours?

Because it worked.
[GASPS THEN SIGHS]

Lock 'em down.

All rise for Master Chen!

[MINIONS CHEERING]

Look at me. I'm floating.

[MINIONS GASP]

I got it. I got it.

I just got distracted
by how awesome this place looks.

Well done, Clouse.

You've really
set the mood.

And look at this.
Soon I'll have more power.

It's good to be me.

You may have us, but you still
don't have the Green Ninja.

Ah yes. I bet right now
he'll swoop down

to save you
in the very last moment

and teach me
a valuable lesson.

Well, I'll wait.
I love lessons.

Any minute now.

That's enough. I'm bored.

But here's a lesson:
Don't be a sore loser.

Only one can remain!

[GRUNTING AND GROANING]

The power is mine.
All mine!

He never came.

Take them to the factory.

Father, please,
spare Kai.

I've seen inside his head.
He's different. He can help you.

You like the boy, don't you?

If it will make you happy.

Leave the red one.

LLOYD:
He knows I'm coming.

But I can't just hide here
and do nothing.

We have to wait
until nightfall.

There's too many.

And then what?
Every minute we're out here,

he grows more powerful--

Son, Chen grows strong
by taking from others.

But real power
does the opposite.

It empowers
those around you.

Like the way
you've empowered me.

We will get you to Chen,
and you will destroy his staff.

Ah. Would you
look at that?

If a foot soldier like Eyezor

can move up the chain
of command, why can't we?

I mean, the guy's
only got one good eye,

and we each got two.

We could spot a ninja
twice as fast as he could.

But he's got a Mohawk.

And his name: Eyezor.

It's got a real ring to it.
And it's practical.

You know, with his
creepy sore eye and all.

That's it. That's it.
We need names.

We need something that'll
make us, you know, stand out.

I got it.
Call me Kapow!

Oh, that's good.

What should I be?
Oh, I know.

Hey, who's that?

It's Maleficium!

Malefici...?

That's a horrible name. I can
hardly pronounce it.

Then how about, uh...

Chope!

Hey!

Chope? Yeah,
I'm not gonna judge.

Wait a minute, yes I am.
That is awesome!

Look out world, Kapow and
Chope movin' up the ranks.

Yeah.

No talking on duty,
minions.

Uh, it's actually
Chope and Kapow--

I said, no talking!

Work.

No, no. It's not work
if you love what you do.

The power of positive thinking.

COLE:
Psst.

Cole?
Zane? Is that you?

Ah, you look amazing!

Not so loud.

They think we've escaped
and don't know we're here.

Why would you come back?

Because we're breaking
everyone out.

Correction.
We're building our way out.

COLE:
They think we're fixing
the noodle machine,

but we're fixing a Roto Jet.

A Roto Jet?
But aren't we underground?

That's what
I've been saying.

What happened
to positive thinking?

No talking! And hurry up
with that noodle machine.

Okay, okay.
It will be ready soon.

When ready,
noodles will fly out of here.

Hey, do you know
where Kai is?

Last I heard, he's getting
the "special" treatment.

A scale from
the Great Devourer,

Captain Soto's peg leg,
a cog from the Celestial Clock,

Zane's pink gi, and this.

Oh!

An Anacondrai Sword.

They are the sharpest blade
in existence,

fit for the greatest warrior
to ever do battle in Ninjago.

Why are you showing me
all of this?

You do realize if you weren't
holding that staff right now,

I'd strike you down
right here.

Skyler was right.

Even without your power, the
fire burns bright in you.

Unlike you
and my dear Skyler,

who inherited her powers
from her mother,

I was never born
with natural abilities.

[YAWNS]

I was told I would
amount to nothing.

But I will show them
they are all wrong.

Look. I call it The Charge
of the Dark Brigade.

It's beautiful,
isn't it?

The reds, the purples,
the super dark purples.

After I defeat your little green
friend and take his powers,

I will have all the elements
I need to conjure a spell

that will transform me and my
worshippers into Anacondrai.

With you and your friends gone,

nothing will stop me.

But I've seen
inside your head.

I know you're
still jealous

Lloyd was chosen
to be the Green Ninja.

It could've been you.

Have you ever wondered
what it felt like

to have so much power
pulsing through your veins?

Yes, you have.

There is so much potential
in you, Kai.

I want to give you
the chance to find it.

I will never turn
on my friends.

Of course.

But what if I also told you

there were secrets
about your parents

that your senseis
never told you?

Dark secrets.

My parents? What secrets?

So many questions that
can so easily be answered.

Master, it is nightfall.

The Green Ninja will be
making his move shortly.

Think about it.

Hmm...

Remember, destroy the staff
and everyone's power returns.

You came here to make your
team whole. Finish the job.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

[ALARM WAILING]

[ALL GRUNTING]

LLOYD:
There's too many of them.

I'll hold them.
You two, find Chen.

GARMADON:
Look out!

[BOTH GRUNT]

Go, son.
Leave Clouse to me.

Good luck.

Your father
doesn't believe in luck.

I know.
I wasn't talking to him.

Just like back
in the training yard.

Only this time,
I refuse to lose.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[GASPS]

[PANTING]

[YELLS]

Aw, Chen and his trap doors.
[GROWL IN DISTANCE]

Huh? Uh-oh!

Lloyd!
This way! Come on!

[GROWLING]

Kai, you escaped.
What happened?

I managed to slip free,
but Chen took all our powers.

If we can find them--

There's no time.
I have to stop Chen.

Alone if I have to.

What? What is it?
I'm sorry, Lloyd.

This will all make sense
when it's over.

Kai? Kai, where are you?

[***]

The final round.
It all ends here.

You! You turned Kai
against me?

Like I said,
only one can remain.

[GRUNTS]

Oh, please.

What use is one element
when I have the rest?

Shadow!

LLOYD:
I know what you're up to.

The Anacondrai Wars are over.

You're living in the past.

CHEN:
Wrong.

I decide when it's over.

And who doesn't like
a blast from the past?

Ice!

[CACKLING]

Fire.

[GRUNTING]

When my followers
become Anacondrai,

Ninjago will be controlled
by those who deserve it:

The most powerful.

Gravity!

Whoa! Ooh!

[GRUNTING]

[GROANS]

Whoa!

What you have isn't power!

[GRUNTING]

It's stealing!

[GRUNTING]

[YELLING]

[GROANS]

Real power doesn't need
to take from others.

[GRUNTS]

[CACKLING]

Real power
stops people like you. Unh!

[GROANS]

Only one can remain.

[CACKLING]

[SIGHS]

Nya,
are you all right?

Yes. What--?
What happened?

[***]

We have to get out of here.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

My pet loves
the smell of fear.

Where is my son?
What have you done with--

I have your son.

But his power will become mine
at the ceremony tonight.

I'm sorry you didn't
get an invite.

I'm still a little hurt
by my pupil deciding

to betray me so long ago.

But how did you defeat him?

Oh, I had a little help.

[GASPS]

You pitted the ninja
against themselves,

just as you did
the Elemental Masters.

Why, Kai?
How could you do this?

Chen holds all the power.

Lloyd alone
never stood a chance.

I had to think about
what was best for us.

He'll let you go if--
I'd rather be snake food!

[GRUNTING]

Untie us!

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Or what?

You've changed, remember?

You're Sensei Garmadon.

You're a good guy.
Threats don't frighten me.

[GASPING]

My pet may be napping,

but she's always hungry
when she wakes up.

You had a good run, Garmadon.

But all good things
must come to an end.

[CHEN & CLOUSE CACKLING]

This isn't you, Kai.
Don't do this.

Sorry, sis. This is the way
it has to be.

Have the factory
prepare a feast

in honor of the
ceremony, Clouse.

I'm in the mood for noodles.

This is how
your father treats you?

It doesn't have to be
like this.

But he has the staff.

There's nothing
I can do about it.

But what if I can?

Lloyd didn't stand a chance
alone, but if Chen trusts me,

I can get close to the staff,
and then--

Why would you tell me this
after I betrayed you?

You spared me for a reason.

And you know I'm far
too fetching to resist.

[***]

[WHISTLES]

Uh, please, almost done.

Soon noodle machine will be
f*ring on all cylinders.

No, make now.

Master Chen wants
noodles for the big ceremony.

What ceremony?
Chen defeated the Green Ninja.

Now no one in Ninjago
can stop us.

[LAUGHS]

Look on the bright side.

At least all your jobs
just became permanent.

Uh, there's a few
minor kinks.

Unh!
[SUMO ZUMO LAUGHS]

Give me that sheet. Huh?

That's not
a noodle machine!

Uh, that's the kink. Now!

[GRUNTING]

Huh?

Cole? He's here!

I'd get out of the way
if I were you.

[SCREAMING]

[CHEERING]

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Easy, tiger!

Whoa! Heh-heh.

Over there!

[ALL YELLING]

When will it fly?

It fly when it fly.
No sooner.

On the other side!

We'll run outta bolts
trying to fend 'em off.

Make her fly, Karlof,
or get us out of here.

No problem.
Push red button.

[CHEERING]

This is why you don't make jets
underground, Karlof.

The power of positive thinking.

[ALL GRUNTING]

Behind you!

[PLAYING INTENSE b*at]

[MINIONS CHANTING]

KAPOW:
Just look at us.

We're escorting
the big dogs now.

Heh. Like I said, Kapow and
Chope moving up the ranks.

[GRUNTING]

[GROWLS]

[ALL CHANTING]

Why would you help them?

Don't worry.

It won't hurt,
heh, that much.

[CHUCKLES]

All right, first thing's
first. Daughter!

[GASPS]

I offer my power to you,
Father.

[GROANING]

Only one can remain.

[GRUNTING]

Some help you are, Kai.

[***]

[HISSES]

Nya, it's karma.

After personally destroying

the biggest snake
Ninjago has ever seen,

it's only reasonable
the second biggest

would exact
its revenge on me.

[HISSING]

[ROARS]

[GASPS]

[***]

Whoo-hoo! We did it!

Well hello, Master of Earth.

Uh-uh. Don't forget
Master of Lightning.

Hey!
Zane, you're back!

What? What is on my back?

[BOTH LAUGHING]

Karlof, why isn't this thing
off the ground yet?

Two hands can only work
so fast.

Well you're gonna fix it Karlof,
because you know why?

Sure.

ALL:
Positive thinking!

[***]

[GROANS]

And now for
the final element.

[GASPS]

Only one can remain.

[GROANING]

[SCREAMS]

[MINIONS CHANTING]

Behold! Every elemental power,
all in my control!

Do you feel the power?
I do!

[CHANTING IN ANCIENT TONGUE]

All of you who bare the mark
of the Anacondrai, it is time.

We will shed our skins
for new ones,

and be the most powerful force
in all of Ninjago!

Father,
let me stand beside you.

Yes. Yes. Join me.

After today, not only will
Master Chen

be Ninjago's
number one noodle house,

but Ninjago's
number one ruler!

[CHANTING IN ANCIENT TONGUE]

Hey, Chen!

You forgot one element.

The element of surprise.

[GRUNTS]

You betray me?!

Runs in the family.

[GRUNTING]

Get him!

[ALL GRUNTING]

That was all an act?

Don't worry.
I had it all under control.

Well, almost.

Ice!

Grr! Aah!

Hurry, Kai,
you must destroy the staff.

Chen was right.
This thing's awesome.

Kai, it holds too much power!
Destroy it!

The power is corrupting him.

If we don't get that staff
out of his hands--

No one is taking my staff!

You had all that power.
Now it's my turn!

Ah, what am I saying?

Nothing I don't already feel!

Yes. Yes.

Embrace the power!

I can't--
I can't control it.

I don't want to control it!

I should've been
the Green Ninja!

No, Kai. Don't!

Did anyone order some kung pao?

[***]

Zane! Good to see you
again, buddy.

And it's good to be back.

[GRUNTS]

[KAI & CHEN PANTING]

[BOTH GRUNT IN SLO-MO]

[IN SLO-MO]
No!

Now bad guys in big trouble!

ALL:
Ninja, go!

[ALL GRUNTING]

It always brings
tears to my eyes

when I see the old g*ng
back together.

[***]

They have all the power!

For now, master.
But not for long.

No sign of Chen.

And no sign of Skyler either.

If it weren't
for her help,

we wouldn't have
control of the island.

We'll find her, brother.

It's funny.

I came here
to find an old friend.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING
OVER SPEAKERS]

[ALL LAUGHING]

* Hello, my baby
Hello, my honey *

I just never thought
we'd make new ones.

We'll find her, Kai.
And we'll find Chen.

[ALL LAUGHING]

ZANE:
* Send me a kiss by wire

* Jump up, kick back
Whip around and spin *

* Ninja, go
Come on, come on, come on *

* And do the weekend whip

* Jump up, kick back
Whip around and spin *
