[Lloyd] "The Cliffs of Hysteria"

[bird screams]

[somber music]

[rustling]

I'm worried about Okino.

He took the news pretty hard.

Wouldn't you?

If you found out your whole world

was nothing but a simulation?

And you were part of it?

We gotta cheer him up.

Yeah. Okay.

Nobody say anything about Unagami. Or Prime Empire.

Or the keytana.

What do we talk about?

Anything. Just keep it cheerful.

[somber music]

Uh, so, um, Okino.

What do you do around here for fun anyway?

[awkward chuckle]

Fun is an illusion.

Hey, how about that sky?

Look at those clouds!

The clouds...

Lies!

Say, Okino...

how do you get a ninja to cross the road?

You say, "Ninja-go!"

[snickers] Get it?

There is no road.

Only the nothingness is real.

That was a terrible joke.

You got a better one?

Holy cow.

-[all] Whoa! -[bird screams]

Tell me those aren't the "Cliffs of Hysteria."

That's not a cliff.

[Cole] That looks like a wall that never ends!

[Nya] Definitely not double-jumping up that thing.

Yeah, Okino, I'm not sure I can climb that.

And if I can't do it,

[scoffs] these guys don't stand a chance.

-Oh, thanks, Jay. -Honest but insulting.

We don't even have a rope.

You can buy some from Shifty.

From who?

[videogame music playing]

[Shifty] Greetings, Travelers!

Welcome to Shifty's table!

Step right up and take a look.

This here's the finest merchandise

in all of Terra Karana!

That's real leather armor, there,

and those arrows are genuine poison-tipped, and...

Hello!

Who might you be?

Um, Nya.

Nya. Oh! Sounds like a flower.

How may I help you, Flower-Nya?

Just Nya is fine.

Actually, we are looking for a grappling hook and rope.

A-ha! Climbing the Cliffs, eh?

Well, 'tis a good thing you came to Shifty.

I've got the best rope in town.

Let's step over to the rope department.

How much for the grappling hooks?

Twenty credits each. Normally.

But for a friend of Flower-Nya's...

-...uh, . -We'll take six.

A wise choice.

Now, for the rope. We have two kinds.

Rope of Supreme Durability.

And Rope of Questionable Integrity.

[flies buzzing]

That's what you call a "no-brainer."

We'll take the Rope of Supreme Durability.

Another wise choice!

Now, that'll be credits, please.

What? Six hundred?

That's more than the grappling hook!

Quality rope isn't cheap, my friend.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

What about the friends-of-Flower-Nya discount?

I'll throw in a free arrow.

We don't have that much!

So what do we do?

[flies buzzing]

No! I refuse!

I am not buying Rope of Questionable Integrity

from some guy named Shifty!

What choice do we have?

Well uh, lots of choices! Um...

We, we can turn around and go back,

uh, do some grinding, earn more credits.

Or we can all tackle him at once and then--

We can't do that.

And we don't have time to go back.

We'll take the Rope of Questionable Integrity.

-No, no, no, we won't-- -Jay, will you relax?

[warbling, buzzing]

Huh. That's strange.

Those don't usually turn up

unless there's energy cubes to collect.

Energy cubes?

When someone gets cubed.

The drones take them away.

-Where? -To Unagami.

What for?

Yeah, I was curious about that meself.

As luck would have it,

I have friends in high-places.

I sold the Mad Sushi-Chef his knives.

Who?

Oh, you haven't met him yet?

Oh, he's a great bloke. Anyway, he told me,

Unagami's building something.

Something big.

A machine.

What kind of machine?

Yeah, he didn't tell me that part.

[warbling]

[beeps]

Huh. I've Never seen one do that before.

-Maybe we should get going. -Yeah, good idea!

[beeps]

[zapping]

[beeps]

Lloyd!

Run! Grab the rope!

Wait! You forgot your complimentary arrows!

[tense music]

[whooshing]

[zapping]

[Kai] Hah! They're too late!

See ya fellas!

[whooshes]

[Kai] What? I didn't know they could do that!

[Lloyd] Faster!

-[Nya grunts] -[zapping]

[Cole] We're sitting ducks up here!

[grunts]

[sighs]

[zapping]

[zapping continues]

[beeping]

[thuds]

Hey! Oh, hah! Hello.

We'll just put you right over here.

-[zapping] -[grunting]

[Nya] Cole!

[Cole] Not again.

-[rumbling] -[grunting]

I... I'm okay!

[Nya] Cole! Your rope is breaking!

Cole! Hurry!

[Cole] I am hurrying!

[Nya] Hurry faster!

[clanking]

[warbling]

[Nya] Stop shaking the rope! It's gonna break!

[Cole] Kai!

[Kai] Hah! Gotcha!

Ya, Nice!

[Kai] Hah! Yeah! How do you like that?

Not so fun, is it?

[zapping]

Come on. Just a little to the left!

[Lloyd] Oh, no you don't!

You don't get away that easy!

What are you doing?

[Lloyd] I have an idea!

[clanks]

[Kai yelling]

Whoa.

[Kai] What do we have here?

[Okino] A Red Visor.

It looks like it's a robot.

Maybe we can learn something from it.

I don't know. It looks pretty banged up.

Nya, can you take a look?

-See if you can do something? -Mm-hm.

It's computer code. Let's see.

-[beeping] -Oh, whoops. didn't want that.

Hang on. Here we go.

Rebooting communications.

[Red Visor] Unit RV,

[crackling] -

Communications... o-o-o-online.

Go ahead. Ask him whatever you want.

Tell us about the energy cubes.

What is Unagami doing with them?

[Red Visor] Energy cubes are used to construct

[crackling] ...the device.

What device? What does it do?

[Red Visor] The device is...

[crackling] to the other... other...

-The other what? -Repeat.

[crackling] The portal to the other place.

-[powers down] -Other place?

What other place?

Ninjago.

Unagami is building a portal into the real world.

Is that true? Confirm.

[crackling, zapping]

[Lloyd] Oh, Great.

We're not getting any more out of it.

My friends... You should go.

-Before more of them come. -Aren't you coming with us?

It is better if I stay.

What? Why?

You told me. Unagami created Prime Empire.

I am part of that.

Part of the game.

Okino, no. listen.

If I was created by Unagami,

how can I be trusted?

Perhaps I serve him.

You don't serve Unagami.

You make your own choices, Okino.

Yeah, we trust you, dude.

How can you be certain?

What if... what if I betray you?

You saved our lives, Okino. We trust you.

Unagami may have made Prime Empire,

maybe even you.

But he can't force you to do anything you don't want to.

You have a choice, Okino.

You decide what you are.

And what you do.

Then...

we will go together.

Together.
