09x09 - Lessons for a Master

[bunniefuu]

(male narrator)
Previously on "Ninjago.."

[grunts]

(Lloyd)
She didn't make it?

We go now to the Firstborn!

(Lloyd)
My father's power,
it's too strong.

You want this city, Lloyd?
Then you can have it in ruins.

[theme music]

[evil laugh]

(male narrator)

crash

[grunts]

Guys, we need to go, pronto!

- Skylor, you have to wake up.
- We have to run.

Run?
One of us can't even stand.

Let's move.

[intense music]

Jump, Dareth.

[grunts]

[Dareth screams]

[screaming]

- Throw her over!
- That's not gonna work.

(Nya)
Lloyd.

(Dareth)
'Lloyd, yes!'

[growling]

[screams]

You think you can hide
from my wrath?

I'll destroy
every building to find you!

[panting]

(Gayle on TV)
Everyone should flee the city
at once.

Nowhere is safe.

Ever since Garmadon lost Harumi

he's lost his marbles!

Dareth's right.

He's not gonna stop
until he finds us.

I know.

There's only one thing
that can withstand that.

I ditched the battle wagon
across town.

If we can get to it,
we can leave the city.

- Leave the city?
- Just until things calm down.

Lloyd, I'm with Nya.

Mistake said
we needed to survive

until the Ninja got back.

Well, where are they, huh?

There's no shame in knowing
when to turn the table.

Okay, we go
for the battle wagon.

[grunts]

But we're not skipping town.

We hold on
for as long as we can.

Where are you guys?

[sighs]

I hope that's your Falcon, Zane.

My receptors pick up that
that is an avian scavenger.

A harbinger
of our approaching demise.

It's a bone picker,
and Zane's right.

Why does Zane
always have to be right?

Can't it just be enough
that we're tied to giant poles

in the middle of the desert?

And don't forget,
Wu is being held hostage

forced to steal Iron Baron
the Dragon Armor

so that he could
become invincible.

Can't that be enough?

Shoo! Don't come to me. Shoo!

[people clamoring]
Look, something's going on.

(Jet Jack)
...questioning me.

[indistinct chatter]

Probably arguing about
which one of us to eat first.

Dragon Hunters
do not eat people.

Well, that's good to know,
Faith.

So it isn't all bad.

This is our chance.

While their distracted,
let's see

if we can get these,
ugh, poles rocking..

[grunts]
...by, uh, rocking our bodies..

...from side to side.

Yeah, I'm not doing that.

That won't be helpful.

Guys, come on. Teamwork.

[grunts]
If we all do it together..

[grunting]

I hope the son
of the Spinjitzu Master

figures something out,
because this is ridiculous.

Hey, it's better than nothin'.

[grunts]

Tell me something,
why did you lie to your hunters

about the Oni being real?

I told them
what they wanted to hear

that I would keep them safe

and in return, all I ask

is to be treated like a king.

Is that so wrong? Look around.

This is a cruel world.

We do what we must to survive.

There's more to life
than surviving.

[chuckles]

You already control this realm.

Why do you need
my father's armor?

There's always more to rule.

That's the beauty of power.

One can never have enough.

Are you sure the Dragon Armor
will control Firstbourne?

Unlike you, I tell the truth.

How very honorable of you.

[grunts]

[dramatic music]

The bridge is too brittle
to hold us both.

Then you better tread lightly.

Careful.

[dramatic music]

[grunts]

[screams]

[dramatic music]

[grunts]

Keep moving.

[chuckles]
That was the perfect chance
to get rid of me

but you missed it.

I gave you my word, remember?

Once I get you the armor,
you send my Ninja home.

There's nothing I would like
more than for them to be gone.

You're not in charge.
This is not your choice.

Listen to me.
You don't know anything!

Every time I suggest--

[gibberish]

Oh, come on.

Hey, he's just saying
what we're all thinking.

- Yeah.
- Oh, yeah?

And I suppose you think
you should be in charge?

(all)
Yeah.

(all)
Teamwork. Teamwork.

Teamwork. Teamwork..

It's working, guys.
Just a little more.

I can't believe
this is working.

We do have a little faith.

(all)
Teamwork. Teamwork.

Teamwork.

What do you think you're doing?

Uh, nothing.

They are gonna eat us!

[all screaming]

[all grunting]

[groans]
You ever heard of stairs?

I don't know if I should
thank you, Jet Jack

or prepare to fight.

Or if you're gonna eat us,
eat him first.

- He's filled with cake.
- Am not.

We got to talking,
and this Dragon Armor business

has gone too far.

Iron Baron speaks
of serving his people

but he only serves himself.

[gibberish]
He's kind of a jerk.

We fear with Firstbourne
by his side

he will become unforgiving.

Wait, wait, you're telling me
all this time

while they're getting closer to
the nest, you guys are arguing

about whether or not
to release us?

He's shown his true colors, and
they are colors no one likes.

I can put aside our differences

if you think you five
can make a difference.

We'll follow their tracks.

Let's go and stop them
before it's too late.

[all cheering]

It's too late.

This map is indecipherable.

Mountain? What mountain?

They're everywhere.

I know where the nest is.

The nest of Firstbourne.

'In it,
your freedom and my power'.

Come now, our future awaits.

[crackling]

[growling]

Ah, I'm missing all the action.

Will you just come and get me?

I don't know,
it must have thrown me eight

maybe nine blocks.

Yeah, it hurt.

(Nya)
The battle wagon
is just up ahead.

[gasps]

[gasps]

[dramatic music]

Hey, hey, Green Ninja!

Go, get to the battle wagon.

- No. We stay together.
- Not this time. Now go!

Get out of my way,
you water lily!

Ya!

[grunting]

If you wanna help Nya,
we need the battle wagon.

[grunts]

[laughs]

[screams]

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

[screams]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[screams]

[laughing]

[grunts]

[evil laugh]

I'm impressed.

It's a shame
we couldn't be friends.

[grunts]

[screams]

Nya.

[grunts]

Are you hurt?

My shoulder, it's pretty bad.

Let's get her
into the battle wagon.

[grunts]

[screaming]

Does she ever quit?

[gibberish]

[intense music]

Wait.

I cannot see
a cursed thing in here.

[grunts]

Where is this Dragon Nest?

I believe we're in it.

[dramatic music]

They are all asleep.

Your Oni blood
does not disturb them.

Your dragon blood
keeps them docile.

Look.

It's revealing itself to you.

It wants to be found.

[clanks]

[growls]

Back away. It's mine.

[rumbling]

[growling]

[roaring]

Ah, uh, yes.

[grunting]

Ha-ha.

I have it.

I wear the Dragon Armor.

I command you, beasts,
destroy him!

[growling]

You know,
I've learned a lot of things

since I came to this realm.

What are you babbling about?

My Ninja taught me
responsibility

confidence, a sense of humor

and to listen
to the voice within.

But I also learned
something from you.

Argh! Stand down!

Kneel before me!

You taught me the power of lies.

[gasps]

You didn't really think
the Dragon Armor is what

make Firstbourne obey my father,
did you?

It was because of his heart.

She sensed goodness in him.

What does she sense in you?

[gasping]

[clattering]

[roaring]

[muffled screams]

[whimpering]

It's okay.

It's okay now.

[gasps]

My father's armor.

[dramatic music]

[rumbling]

[roaring]

[screaming]

Run for your lives!

- No, wait.
- Look!

(Jay)
'Woo-hoo! Yeah!'

'Alright! Way to go!'

[all cheering]

He's riding without chains?

How is that possible?

The Dragon Master
doesn't need them.

[instrumental music]

[all cheering]

(Jay)
You did it! You actually did it!

Yeah.

We always knew
you had it in you.

What about Iron Baron?

Iron Baron's days are over.

He showed his true colors

and Firstbourne
was not impressed.

[growling]

He's gone?

[all cheering]

You did well, master.

Or should we say Dragon Master.

No, my friends.

I bow to you.

It was your lessons
that guided me.

Hey, I don't mean to rain
on the parade

but our job isn't done.

He's right. We've got friends
waiting for us.

And a score to settle
with Garmadon.

Do you think Firstbourne
can take us all home?

That's up to them.

[roaring]

Looks like we found our answer.

Faith, we promised
to bring you with us.

You can ride with me.

You kept your word

and that means the world to me.

But I am needed here.

I thought you hated this place?

I did, but you taught me

that, with courage,
things can change.

And I would rather stay
and fight for change in my home

'than run.'

But I cannot do it alone.

Faith, if you ever need help

you know
you have friends in Ninjago.

And you have friends here
in the First Realm.

[instrumental music]

[growling]

[growling]

Master Wu, get us home.

Hee-haw!

Man, I missed this.

Everyone..

...hold on.

[all cheering]

- 'Where did they go?'
- Ninjago.

[instrumental music]

Ah!

[theme music]
