09x07 - The Weakest Link

[bunniefuu]

(male narrator)
Previously on "Ninjago.."

(Lloyd)
'You're an Oni.'

Stand and face
your new father.

(Wu)
The Dragon Armor.
Now we have a map.

(Harumi)
Don't let him get away.

(Lloyd)
You took my friends from me

so I took yours.

[theme music]

[evil laugh]

(male narrator)
Episode 91, The Weakest Link.

[laughs]
Oh, how have the tables
have turned.

Hey, your plan worked.
We got Harumi.

- Now what do we do?
- What if we use her for trade?

Our friend's in the
Kryptarium Prison for her.

How does that make you feel,
Lloyd

that your father cares for me
more than his own son?

My father cares for no one.

Only his thirst for more power.

He won't free our friends.

We'll hold onto her

until she's valuable to us.

My generals
have been here before.

It's only a matter of time
until they find me.

(Dareth)
'I hate to admit it,
but she's right.'

I hope whatever card you have
up your sleeve is an ace

because right now,
we're about to fold.

[whispers]
But don't tell me right now,
'cause I think she can hear us.

We found something
in her belongings.

I think you need to see this.

[grunts]

Go. I'll keep watch over her.

- What is it?
- The Oni Mask of Hatred.

If your Elemental Power
doesn't return

this can certainly help.

If it's an ace
you're looking for

that's a pair of 'em.

(Mistake)
'But Oni power is dark magic.'

Wield it only at your own peril.

What do you want to do?

My mask!
You're going to steal it?

Save the performance.

I'm not going to use it.
It's a trap.

The only reason someone as smart
as her was captured

is because she wanted to be.

Ooh, very perceptive, Lloyd.

You're smarter than you let on.

If I can't trick you,
perhaps I can deliver a message.

Emperor Garmadon
will destroy you.

And you can do nothing
to stop it

because you can never change!

As much as you want to,
you don't have it in you

to hurt your dear poppy.

- You don't know Lloyd!
- Don't I?

Let me ask,
how do you see this ending?

You can't! Because there is
no happy ending.

Once green, always green.

[engines revving]

[intense music]

[device beeping]

[helicopter whirring]

- Why are we stopping?
- I don't know.

Didn't Jet Jack place a beacon
on the Ninja?

Why did we stop?

They crossed into Oni territory.

'You said not to cross
that line.'

But I see they did.

I'll fight every last Oni
if I have to

but only on your command.

Heavy Metal betrayed me

and no one betrays me.

We cross the line!

I hoped he would say that.

[intense music]

The sun is up. We must go.

Hey, whatever happened
to breakfast

being the most important meal?

We are getting closer to the
first to the Firstbourne's Nest.

We will eat when the son
of the Spinjitzu Master

has the Dragon Armor
and we are all in Ninyago.

It's Ninjago.

It's really not that hard
to pronounce.

Ah, to be back home
in a real bed.

Mm, with real food.

And cake.
Why did I ever give up cake?

[scoffs]
Because your body is a temple.

What is this cake?

Imagine all that is good

baked until it's warm and moist

then add a sweet
sugary frosting.

- That's cake.
- You sound excited.

But are you ready
for what lies ahead?

You explained
that the Firstbourne is waiting

the return
of their first Spinjitzu Master.

Maybe uniting with his son
would be a good thing.

And what if it is not?

Coming face-to-face
with a dragon is one thing

but facing the mother
of all dragons

is a test you cannot fail.

Our chains are our only means
of survival in this realm.

We live and die
by these iron bonds

and our mastery of these suits.

Let me see you chain that rock.

Don't worry, it will not move.

- It should be easy.
- Yeah, yeah. I got it.

Watch and learn.

[screams]

thud

[grunts]

[laughs]
At least
you got the Master of Rock.

[laughing]

It was harder than it looks.

Perhaps we should work on this.

(Kai)
Alright, the first one
to wrap their chain

around that rock wins.

thwip

thwip

- Um..
- Did I win?

I didn't know
you were competing.

Uh, yeah.
I thought you were the judge.

Oh, very well.

thwip

[grunts]

Master of Fire
is now Master of..

[screaming]

[groans]

You need to learn, too,
son of the Spinjitzu Master.

You're only as strong
as our weakest link.

Go on, master, give it a try.

[grunts]

[sniggering]

We don't stop
until everyone can do it.

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

Together.

Not good enough!

Let me handle this.

You know what you need?
Confidence.

- You mean cocky like you?
- No, not cocky!

[chuckles]
Uh, confidence.

You know, the feeling
that you can do anything

if you put your mind to it.

There was a time I didn't think
I could be a Ninja

but you pushed me to be better.

And now I'm pushing you.

Huh? Huh?

Look, I know you can do it

but what matters most
is what you think.

Again.

[dramatic music]

[roaring]

Now let's see
if son of the Spinjitzu Master

can ride a dragon.

[swoosh]

[dramatic music]

She smells your Oni blood.

This will not be easy.

I'll keep her close
to the ground.

Alright, guys, we need slow
the dragon down and get Wu on.

thwip

Ha-ha!

rizz

[grunts]

Aim for her wings.
Stay away from her jaw.

Work together.

thwip

[grunts]

[growls]

Don't think.

You can do it.

(Faith)
'Ride it,
son of the Spinjitzu Master.'

[growling]

[Wu grunting]

I'm doing it. I'm doing it!

- Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- Nice one, Wu!

[growling]

snap

[growling]

rizz

[screaming]

- 'Wu!'
- Aah!

[thud]

[roaring]

I did it. I did it!

[chuckles]
You may not be ready
to face Firstbourne

but you are starting to look
like a dragon rider.

Lloyd,
you're wearing green again.

Harumi gave me a lot
to think about.

- About how this will end.
- And?

Harumi said
I was unable to change.

But you said to defeat
what my father has become

I would have to change.
Well, I'm ready.

- Ready for what?
- I have to be ready to accept.

I may never get my power back.

- Lloyd.
- It's okay.

I'm not afraid.
Power is never lost.

It's only given away when
you don't think you have any.

You also said that.

[chuckles]
Wise words.

I should talk more often.

Lloyd, if you go
after your father..

We've seen
what that thing can do.

We barely survived
the last time.

We don't need to cower from it
when we can control it.

But it's controlled
by your father's power.

Power that I can absorb.

But I can only borrow
Garmadon's power if I touch him.

Just how am I supposed
to get close enough

without him knowing our plan?

You'll be a prisoner

and Harumi will take you to him.

If Mistake can turn into a rat

can she turn into a mole?

How would that help.. Oh!

She's going to be Harumi.

I love it when a plan comes
together in my head.

Who needs an army when all
you need is an army of one?

Harumi, I would like
to introduce you to...Harumi.

[grunting]
You think you can pass as me?

'Nothing's beneath you.'

[Mistake's voice]
"You think you can pass as me?

Nothing's beneath you."

Uh, I think your voice
may give you away.

[coughing]

[Mistake's voice]
Maybe it will sound
more convincing..

[Harumi's voice]
...if I talk like this.

Hey, that's pretty good.

[grunts]
You'll never get away with it.

[muffled grunting]

How about you be quiet,
Quiet One?

It's time for you
to face the corner.

Remember, you just need
to get Skylor

close enough to touch my father.

Once she can absorb his power
to control the Colossus

get out of there.

You sure you're okay
staying back?

I'm only gonna be okay
when all this is over.

For the first time,
I feel like this could work.

Me, too, but don't jinx it.

(Faith)
To get to the Dragon Armor

we need first
to get past this mountain.

[dramatic music]

[helicopter whirring]

[gasps]

We were followed!

[intense music]

I want Heavy Metal alive!

As for the rest,
I want their heads!

[swoosh]

We'll lose them in there.

Looks like his instincts
kicked in.

You think you can outrun us?

Heavy Metal, you're like me.

Not like you, better!

[screams]

[grunts]

You allowed her
to be your number two?

- Why not me?
- How about this?

First to capture her
gets the position.

Now go!

[swoosh]

Did you hear that, Muzzle?

I could be his number two.

[engines revving]

Bad instincts, Wu!
You got very bad instincts!

(Wu)
'Hold on!'

[swoosh]

crash

[intense music]

[grunting]

[screams]

[grunts]

Who wields the Dragon Blade now,
Heavy Metal?

It's Faith!

[grunting]

rizz

[grunts]
I'm not going to lose

the son of
the First Spinjitzu Master yet!

Son of
the First Spinjitzu Master?

[gasps]

[grunts]

[grunting]

[grunting]

boom

Wu's right. There's a way out!

Hold on.

We'll make Heavy Metal pay, sir.

Forget Heavy Metal!

Get me the boy!

We'll never outrun them.
We need to stop the Dieselnaut.

How about we take it?

She taught us how
to thread iron, didn't she?

Work together.

[dramatic music]

- Awesome!
- Just like the dragon.

Remember, confidence.

They think they can take my rig!

[grunts]
Whoa.

[whimpers]

[grunting]

Oh-oh.

[laughs]

[grunting]

[whirring]

[grunting]

[grunts]

- Get out.
- Make me, kid.

clang

[grunting]

It's all yours.

[grunts]

[laughs]
We should teach him
how to drive next.

Oh!

thwip

[whirring]

- Whoa!
- Yes!

Now I've got you.

boom

[Iron Baron screaming]

[cheering]

thwip

Whoa!

I'll take it from here.

Finally, I have you.

[grunts]

[grunting]

Whoa!

[grunting]

Huh!

Baron doesn't know where
the armor is, but you do.

- Go.
- I won't leave you.

I have to have faith.
I need you!

You need the Dragon Armor.

No!

[chain rattling]

[screams]
No!

[dramatic music]

[rock music on headphones]

[muffled grunting]

ptooey ptooey

You, Brown Ninja.

Listen to me,
you silly Master of Dunce.

Hmm.

[grunting]

Hey, you're not supposed
to have your gag off.

You want power?
I know how to get it for you.

[laughs]
I'm done drinking that juice.

You don't need to drink
anything.

My emperor can simply
give it to you.

He could give power?
Uh, like what kind?

Any power you desire.

How about the power
to zip your face?

'Cause I ain't fallin' for it.

Yeow!

(Dareth)
'Lloyd, help! Lloyd!'

I know this looks pretty bad.

I take full responsibility.

Dareth, where is she?

[dramatic music]

Ah, there you are.
I was starting to get worried.

'It appears our little stunt
did the trick.'

I couldn't get Lloyd,
but I got the next best thing.

My emperor,
I present you with Skylor

an Elemental Master.

No matter what you do to me,
the Resistance will fight on.

Careful, my dark excellence.

Harumi forgot to add,
she has the power to absorb.

Don't get too close.

[grunts]
Absorb?

He is well aware of her powers

but your insubordination doesn't
go unnoticed, Ultra Violet.

Curious,
you didn't tell me that.

For my advisor to leave that out
is ill-advised.

My Lord, I have proved
my allegiance

time and time again
for you to doubt my abilities--

(Harumi)
'Is what..'

...two-faced?
