♪ Go, Ninjago ♪

[Gulch and Murtessa] "The Darkest Hour."

[squeals]

[screaming]

[all panting]

[grunts] That horrible cry...

That's Grief-Bringer, the dragon!

No mistake.

You said Grief-Bringer was k*lled by some great hero!

It was!

It's back!

The Skull Sorcerer must have reanimated it!

[mumbling]

-What? -[pants]

The... the Strong-Cave!

It's our... [pants]

...our only hope!

Oh, finally, some good news.

Guys! [grunting]

Shh! Don't say it out loud!

Do you want the Munce to hear?

Yes, that's the point, Gulch!

If we leave them out here,

they'll get chewed up by that thing!

Follow us, everyone!

Huh?

They flee into the mountain.

Break it all down!

[roaring]

[rumbling]

After them! All of you!

[Grief-Bringer roars]

[panting] Cha...

Chancellor Kai... [sighs]

...you must order the cave sealed!

I have to actually say that?

Okay, seal the cave! Now!

[clattering]

-[Grief-Bringer roaring] -[rattling]

[grunting] It's stuck!

Forget the wheel! Cut the chain!

[grunting]

[all gasp]

[roars]

They're not going to get it shut in time.

Then we better buy them some time!

[suspenseful music]

[clanking]

-You... -Shall...

-Not... -Be granted permission

to traverse beyond this point.

[roars]

[Ninja] Ninja, go!

[all screaming]

Ha!

[grunts]

[Kai chuckles]

[Ninja grunting]

[roars]

[all gasp]

[Kai] Lookout!

[all groaning]

[all grunting]

[yells]

It's coming down!

Guys! Get in here!

Run!

[screeches]

[Grief-Bringer growls]

Hopefully we're safe for now.

Are you kidding? We are not safe!

The enemy is among us!

You let them into our cave!

What? Where?

The Munce!

[groaning]

-You're doing this now? -Are you kidding?

-Come on. -Hide your possessions, Geckles,

before the Munce steal them!

Like they stole the Ivory Blade of Deliverance!

You stole blade!

The blade of Milly!

It's Gilly, you glop-mouthed--

Milly is our legend,

you legend stealing stealer-of-legends!

Munce, look through cave for our blade

that Geckles took from us!

Finding it would make being imprisoned here worth it!

Oh, you can leave any time!

Oh? There is other way out of this cave?

Of course not!

Do you even understand the point of a strong-cave?

[Skull Sorcerer] Geckles! Munce! Hear me!

I offer you a chance! And one chance only!

Send out the Ninja and I will spare your lives.

I will show you mercy.

Mercy! [chuckles]

Mercy!

[Skull Sorcerer] Send them out and you will be allowed

to return to work in the mines.

All shall be as it was,

a time of peace and hard work.

So swears the Skull Sorcerer.

-Never! -No way!

I am talking, Geckle!

We both started talking at the same time!

No, I said the "Ne" in "Never"

before you opened mouth.

-All of you... -[Gulch] All right, who was watching?

Did anyone see who opened their mouth first?

-Hear me... -[Murtessa] Will one of you just respond?

Munce will never serve Skull Sorcerer!

As much as it pains me to agree with a Munce,

neither will the Geckles!

So be it.

Grief-Bringer, my skeletons, destroy them!

[laughs]

Destruction!

Devastation!

[growls]

[all muttering]

-[thuds] -[rumbling]

[screams]

It's cracking!

You said this strong-cave

could withstand the Grief-Bringer!

Well, we thought it could,

it's never been tested against a resurrected-skeleton-dragon

and an army of evil-skeletons.

Without Gilly, all is lost.

Zane! Can you scan this?

There is a space behind this wall of rocks.

Possibly a previously covered-up exit.

Listen up!

There's an opening behind this rock wall!

We're not sure, but it could be a way out.

[all gasping]

If we're gonna bring down this wall,

we need everyone's help.

And by everyone, I mean "everyone"!

[all murmur]

[rumbling]

[suspenseful music]

[gasps]

[grunting]

[both panting]

Look! There's something back here!

He's right! A chamber!

[Nya] Look at them.

They're working together.

Side by side.

I never thought I'd see that.

[all grunting]

What?

No.

It's a dead-end.

Hmm...

What do we do?

There's no other way out.

[rumbles]

No... They'll get through any minute.

I...

I am sorry.

I was wrong to lead you all here.

[grumbles] You gave us shelter.

I too am sorry.

For what?

You Geckles value family,

like Munce.

You work hard like Munce.

You honor Milly...

like Munce.

Is it possible

we are not so different?

I... was a fool.

I saw only the things that made us different,

not the things we had in common.

We were all foolish.

-[thudding] -[Grief-Bringer growling]

We have a common enemy.

Let us stand together and face him as allies.

Agreed.

Let us put aside differences and face him together.

[sighs] This is so beautiful.

Two peoples, coming together

in peace, love, and harmony.

No, we are not at peace.

[stutters] But I thought...

[Gulch] It must be declared, formally. By you.

You are the Chancellor.

Oh, uh, okay.

Uh, then, by the power vested in me as Geckle Chancellor,

I hereby declare peace with the Munce.

By my power as Queen,

I declare peace with the Geckles.

Now, we are at peace.

[door thuds, rumbles]

[snarls]

[laughing]

[somber music]

[sighs] Wait! We'll do it!

We'll take your deal!

[all] What?

Your offer.

We turn ourselves in, you let them all go,

but not back to the mines.

You let them free.

If you swear to that,

we will surrender without a fight.

Hmm... Agreed.

[clattering]

[growls]

Once again,

outsiders have risked everything to save us.

Now, leave us in peace, as you promised!

[laughing]

Oh, that.

You didn't really believe that, did you?

Fools!

Fools!

[laughs]
