NARRATOR Episode "The Day Ninjago Stood Still."


ALL Scales, Scales, Scales!


Idiot!


[LAUGHS]


Oh, thank you. Thank you.


Get down, get down.


You’re too kind!


Scram. Go, go, go.


Hypnobrai, Venomari, Constrictai, and Fangpyre.


Hear me!


The troubled reign of that duplicitous human Garmadon...


You’re it. No, you’re it.


...is finally at an end.


At last, our time has come.


Not you!


We Serpentine must now unite in a common destiny


to secure our place as rulers of Ninjago,


and not let those insufferable surface dwellers win.


So as my first order,


I say we burrow beneath their beloved city,


to bury them as they once buried us!


[ALL CHEERING]


Fellow Serpentine,


it’s time we knock Ninjago City


back down to size!


Don’t rely on your eyes. Use your ears.


Uh, guys, I’m teaching a class later,


so I’d appreciate a clean dojo.


[LLOYD GRUNTING]


[SCREAMS]


Ah! No, no, no! No, no, no!


No! No, no, no.


[SCREAMING]


[SCREAMS]


No. No, no, no.


[SIGHS]


JAY Hey, open the window!


Let me in!


I’d forgotten how pale Garmadon was


before his change to evil was complete.


Misako, once again, you slip through my defenses.


I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to pry.


I brought my research on the prophecy


of the Green Ninja.


I thought maybe we could go over it together.


Hmm. My.


There’s so much. It will take days.


I should have chosen you.


The past is the past.


Yes, but there’s always the future.


[RUMBLING]


The ground moves. I fear our natural causes.


GAYLE [OVER TV] NGTV reporter Gayle Gossip on the scene


of what appears to be an earthquake


rocking the city of Ninjago.


But it’s an earthquake like no other,


as scientists have yet to pinpoint the cause.


And more frightening still,


the aftershocks are getting stronger.


[ALL GASP]


What do you think this could be?


Wouldn’t be surprised if it was Garmadon.


We haven’t seen him for a while.


He would never.


Lloyd’s father is evil,


but he would never do anything to put his son in harm’s way.


Misako’s right.


He only tried to thwart his training.


This is something else.


But what is it?


[ZANE WHISTLES]


My friend, be my eyes and look for danger


in the streets from above.


Drill, baby, drill!


Ugh! Disgusting!


This infernal Devourer’s venom has seeped everywhere!


Why are we stopping?


My lord, we’ve hit something we can’t dig through.


SCALES Nonsense!


There is no such thing!


FANGPYRE GENERAL It’s ancient,


perhaps older than the Serpentine themselves.


[GROANING]


[PANTING AND GASPING]


This is madness! You test me? Lord Garmadon?


Ninjago’s rightful ruler?



OVERLORD Patience, Garmadon.


All will make sense in time.


For now, follow my instructions.


To what end?


What is so important at the top of this cliff?


The key to the greatest army ever seen.


And the means


to the greatest w*apon ever known.


What good will these things do for me,


marooned on this uninhabited island?


How will I return to Ninjago?


My master plan has been in the works


since the beginning of time.


Every piece moves in perfect harmony


like the gears of clock,


slowly shifting the balance of power


back to darkness.


Every piece, that is,


but you.


All right, then.


[GRUNTS]


[GROANING]


[PEOPLE SCREAMING]


[BARKING]


WOMAN Oh, Snickers!


Stay there, Mommy’s coming!


[WHIMPERING]


[WOMAN WHIMPERING, DOG BARKING]


No, no!


Stay where you are!


Help! Help me!


[WOMAN WHIMPERING]


LLOYD Ninja to the rescue! Go!


ZANE Go!


KAI Go!


JAY Go!


A few more inches, guys.


[SNICKERS WHIMPERING]


Appreciate the support, doggie.


[GRUNTING]


Ugh. Could have thought this plan through


a little more.


No more help, please!


[GRUNTING]


[SNICKERS BARKING]


Oh, thank you!


No sweat.


Speak for yourself, I did all the work.


Ugh.


These things keep coming with no warning.


That’s it. A warning.


The scrolls said the earthquakes would be a warning.


A warning for something far worse to come.


Far worse? What could be far worse?


Misako, the indestructible Stone Warrior


we fought yesterday, where did you find him?


He was buried under the city.


You don’t think there’s more, do you?


Be on guard, ninja.


We must be ready for whatever comes our way.


[GROANING]


I will not accept defeat!


This wall must be destroyed


if we are to bring down Ninjago City.


Call for every serpentine and--


What’s this?


CONSTRICTAI GENERAL It looks like you, Scales.


That’s impossible.


Get away, you imbecile. Ugh!


CONSTRICTAI SOLDIER Sorry.


SCALES Spooky.


Spooky.


Look at me, I’m a stiff. So stiff.


[LAUGHING]


What? It’s a trap!


att*ck!


They’re indestructible!


Our powers have no affect on them.


Do we retreat?


No retreat. We’re Serpentine, we fight!


[GROANS]


[SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]


[LAUGHING]


[GROANS]


[GROANING]


We’ll be trapped underground again.


No. This can’t be true!


No!


[BANGING ON DOOR]


[SCALES CRIES]


No!


[PEOPLE SCREAMING]


[ROARING]


[LAUGHING]


Sensei, it’s as we feared.


Another Stone Samurai Warrior is loose on the streets.


[STONE WARRIOR ROARS] [NINJAS SCREAM]


No. No.


[ROARING]


NINJAS No! We’re under att*ck!



[LAUGHING]


As this army of stone statues sweeps over the city,


no one is safe!


Mayhem and destruction are their only want.


Attempts at communication have failed,


prohibiting even the desperate option of surrender!


The mayor has already called for a massive evacuation.


[WHIMPERING]


Huh? What is this?


[SCREAMING]


[STONE WARRIOR LAUGHING]


[MAN WHIMPERING]


[ALARM WAILING]


What about the privacy of the mail?


[STONE WARRIOR ROARING]


[CHILDREN WHIMPERING]


Run!


[CHILDREN SCREAMING]


You picked on the wrong dojo.


Okay, warm-up’s over. Let’s get serious.


[CLANGING, STONE WARRIOR ROARING]


Nice knowing you.


[WHIMPERING]


That’s it, I’m out of here.


Quitter!


You.


Wanna be my cameraman?


Uh...


Not really.


Great. Follow me.


I need this sh*t.


You getting this?


MAN I hope so.


Ahem, I’m standing outside Grand Sensei Dareth’s


Mojo Dojo, training headquarters of the ninja,


only to find that even here, no one is safe.


MAN Uh, Gayle, um--


Hey. I talk, you film.


But, Gayle. No buts.


[WHIMPERS, SCREAMS]


You seem in need of assistance.


Thanks, Mr. Ninja.


[ROARING]


Stay strong. Show no weakness.


We have to protect the people.


Gather as many as you can


and get them to our evacuation point.


NYA We’ve got problems with that evacuation point, guys!


I can’t find a safe place to land!


[STONE WARRIORS ROARING]


The NGTV office building has a helipad on the roof.


Yes. Higher ground.


Lloyd, tell Nya to head there.


Citizens of Ninjago who have yet to evacuate the city,


head to the NGTV building rooftop.


Our heroic ninja will evacuate you from there!


But hurry. We’re running out of time.


And you, stay safe. Stay out of trouble.


Looks like that won’t be possible.


[ROARING]


Uh-oh. There are more of them.


Yeah! Ha, ha!


[ROARING]


Lloyd, did you practice your Elemental Quakes?


Who needs to practice, when you’re a natural.


Ugh.


Thanks, boy. Now see if you can help us find a way out of here.


Good. Now save yourself.


[GROWLING]


[ROARING]


[GARMADON GROANING]


[GARMADON GRUNTS]


What is this?


OVERLORD This clock was created


to count down to the final battle.


Once one takes the Helmet of Shadows,


the clock will start.


But be warned,


though he who wears the Helmet of Shadows


can travel between the islands at will,


once it is removed,


the countdown cannot be stopped.


Any more warnings?


No.


[LAUGHING]


At last, the countdown to the final battle has begun.


This helmet is your birthright.


With it, you have control of the army.


What army?


My army.


[LAUGHING]


[TIRES SCREECH]


Barricade the doors.


[GASPS]


ZANE Now we head to the stairwell.


Stairs? It’s floors.


Let’s just take the elevator, guys.


It’s unwise to take the elevator


during an emergency, Dareth.


Well, I think I’ll take my chances.



[ROARS]


Okay, stairs it is.


DARETH Let’s get climbing, everybody.


[DARETH PANTING]


Guys, I need to rest.


[STONE WARRIOR SPEAKING FOREIGN DIALECT]


[ROARS]


Second wind!


[PANTING]


[ROARING]


We must buy time for our getaway.


ALL Ninja, go!


[LLOYD GRUNTING]


Lighting up.


[STONE WARRIORS ROARING]


[STONE WARRIORS SCREAMING]


LLOYD Not so tough.


[ROARING]


Whoa. So tough.


Let’s hope we bought enough time.


Where’s the Bounty?


Look.


[PEOPLE CHEERING]


LLOYD Hurry, they’re coming.


My research.


No, Mom. It’s too dangerous to go back.


It’s too important to leave behind.


Mwah.


Now, now!


[PEOPLE CHEERING]


[STONE WARRIORS ROARING]


They just keep coming.


COLE Go, go.


Oh, no. This is bad.


We have everyone? We’ve gotta get out of here.


Our only remaining booster won’t last much longer.


We have to wait for my mom.


LLOYD Sensei!


[SCREAMS]


[STONE WARRIORS ROARING]


[WU GRUNTING]


[MISAKO GROANING AND PANTING]


[LAUGHS]


[MISAKO SCREAMS]


[GROANING]


[GROWLS]


I can’t hold on...


WU Misako, hang on.


...much longer.


[GRUNTING]


[GROANS]


I have you now.


[STONE WARRIORS ROARING]


This way.


There’s no place to hide.


We have to fight.


Do you still know Spinjitzu?


Do you forget you never b*at me?


I confess, I wasn’t really trying.


Neither was I.


WU Ninja, go!


[ROARING]


Nya, descend.


Do it now!


[STONE WARRIORS ROARING] I’m glad we go together.


Then let’s go.


[GRUNTS]


What--?


[GASPS]


The past is past, remember?


But there’s always the future.


[SIREN WAILING DISTANTLY]


Garmadon is back, baby!


Garmadon is back.
