08x07 - Game of Masks

[bunniefuu]

Let's go, little Wu.

Rumi's the Quiet One.

We must warn Lloyd.

ULTRA VIOLET: The Quiet One
wouldn't like that.

[SCREAMS]

LLOYD:
We made it to the temple.

[♪♪]

[SINISTER CACKLE]

[LLOYD READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]

[♪♪]

At last--the Sword of Fortune.

Not so fast, ninja.

I am the Shadow Thief,
and I'll never let you have it.

Then we battle
because ninja never quit. Hyah.

[RUMBLING]

What was that?

A snake of rather unusual size
is attacking Ninjago.

If you are watching this now,
please leave the city at once.

[SNAKE ROARING]

We need to leave now.

GIRL: But...

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[ELEVATOR BEEPS]

FATHER:
We'll take the stairwell.

GIRL:
Where are the stairs?

There's no room.
Take the next one.

Please, take her.

No. I want to stay with you.

Please. I want to stay. Mama.

We'll-We'll see you
when we get down. I promise.

[SIREN WAILING]

Hmm. So much
for the ninja.

[SIGHS]
Did you see that thing?

Lord Garmadon
single-handedly destroyed it.

He's the real hero.

Brave little girl you are.
Where are your parents, child?

[♪♪]

Do you have a name?

Well, aren't you
the quiet one.

The Oni Temple.

[SHRIEKS]

[GRUNTS]

If the last mask is here,
it won't come easily.

Trust me, I've had
my share of deadly tombs.

Follow my every step.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

Lloyd.

[GROANS] Okay.

Don't touch anything
with that symbol on it.

What's happening?

I don't know.
I didn't touch anything.

Rumi, the exit.

No. No, no, no.

[SIGHS]

Guess there's
no turning back now.

[RAUCOUS LAUGHTER]

[GIGGLES]

If you harm
one hair on his head...

You'll what? Where is he?

Where's the Green Ninja?

Ha. Like we'll ever tell you.

Uh, Cole,
you don't argue with a man

whose navel
is that close.

Mister E found them.

Good eye, Mister E.

The Oni Temple is just
miles north of here.

Set a course
for the Quiet One.

You don't have to call her that.
We know it's Harumi.

[SNICKERING]

Do you guys have any idea
what you're doing?

She's planning on
resurrecting Garmadon--

Lord Garmadon.

Then I guess you never
had the chance to meet him.

No, but we
look forward to it.

In our experience,
when the bad guys

try to unearth
an ancient evil,

it never ends well
for them.

Yeah, just ask Pythor,
Master Chen, Moro,

or even Garmadon himself.

Hmm. Then it's a good thing
the Quiet One

isn't a bad guy,
but a bad girl.

[LAUGHTER]

Careful, ninja. I wouldn't
want to upset the child.

[GIGGLES]

Let's just hope Lloyd
discovers Harumi's secret

before her help arrives.

[HARUMI PANTS AND SCREAMS]

LLOYD: Almost there.

[BOTH PANTING]

You okay?

Yes, but it's hard to see.

What is this place?

LLOYD: It's their story.

Who?
The Oni.

See there?

It's amazing.

They must have
built this place.

When the First Spinjitzu Master
escaped their world,

they must have
come looking for him.

Who?

The Oni.

He was the key
to winning their eternal w*r

with the dragons.

Ninjago
was a new world to them.

The Oni must've holed up here.
Explains all the traps.

Must not have wanted
any visitors.

[SIGHS]
This is a dead end.

Look, the symbol
from earlier.

Maybe you can break through
one of these walls.

If the symbol is on here,
this one must be booby-trapped.

Hmm. Worth a sh*t.

What's wrong?

If the Oni wanted to
protect the mask,

they would know anyone
who got this far

would avoid the markings.

What do you mean?

This has to be the way.

But you see the water?

If you break the wrong wall,
this whole room will flood.

Mm-hmm. Then I sure hope
I'm right.

[GRUNTS]

Ha. Let's go.

[GASPS]

HARUMI: The Mask of Hatred.

Oh.

[GROANS]

Only someone with Oni blood
can take the mask.

[♪♪]

Can I-Can I see it?

I just want to see it.

How did you know?

It's an Oni Temple.

It's safe to assume
only an Oni could take it.

No. How could you know
that I was part Oni?

You're related to
the first Spinjitzu Master.

He was an Oni.

I never told you that.

Jay and I were alone
when Mystake told us the story.

You were never there.

Then I must've heard it
from Jay.

I don't want to
believe it.

You're the Quiet One?

How could you say that?

It all makes sense now.

The greatest villain
is the one you never knew

was there in the first place.
You said that.

Oh, yes,
I'm the criminal mastermind.

How could I have done this?

Do you realize
how silly you're sounding?

I... I love you.

Stay back.

Lloyd.

You only wanted me to
get the mask you couldn't find.

I didn't need you
to find the mask.

It would've
already been mine

had your friends
not stolen Wu from us.

The baby is Master Wu?

Oh, that's right.
You didn't know.

I knew to keep you close.

Not everything goes to plan.

Give me the mask.

No. I can't let you
bring my father back.

Not like that.

Oh, then if you won't
give it to me...

[BOTH GRUNT]

Then I will take it.

[SCREAMS]

[GRUNTS]

Why?

I never asked to be a princess.

Just as I never asked
to be an orphan,

but you gifted me that.

How did I do that?

The Great Devourer.
It was too strong,

too big for you
and your friends.

[CHUCKLES] Lloyd,
you aren't so naive

to think no one got hurt
that day, did you?

It wasn't until
the almighty Lord Garmadon

saved the day.

But he couldn't save my family.

It was too late.
I d*ed that day, too.

Give me one reason not to say
goodbye to it right now.

I'll give you two.

You want to see
your father again,

and you love me.

Ah, your emotions.

You can't get rid of them.
It's hard to think, isn't it?

I felt those feelings, too.

We truly are kindred spirits.

[SCREAMS]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[LAUGHS]

You helped put the bug
on the ship.

You caused the crash.

A calculated risk.

Your friends were so close
to the truth.

I couldn't let them stop me.

Feeding the poor. Acting scared.
It was all an act?

Ah, yes.
The damsel in distress.

You ninja really are
from another time.

The Emperor and Empress?

They were never my parents.

To protect Ninjago,
I had to repress those feelings.

I had to wear a mask

until the time came for me
to take control.

I had to be smarter, stronger.

You were never
protecting Ninjago.

You were only after revenge.

Tell me, Lloyd,
how many times has Ninjago

almost fallen on your watch?

How many times
have you ninja failed

and let others pay the price?

[SCOFFS]
You're not our protectors.

You're just a bunch of
little kids playing dress up.

Ninjago is my home, too.

And with your father by my side,
we can return it to glory.

Give it the leader
it truly d--

[SCREAMS]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[LAUGHING]

Then I guess this is goodbye.

No-o-o-o-o!

[SCREAMS]

[METAL CLANGS]

[GRUNTS]

[LAUGHS]

Okay, so that
didn't go as planned.

[SCREAMS]

[HARUMI PANTS]

[DEEPER VOICE] This isn't
going to be a fair fight.

What did the mask
do to you?

The Mask of Hatred.
A taste of invincibility.

Too bad for you. Aah.

[GRUNTS]

[HARUMI LAUGHS]

[♪♪]

[KAI GROANS]

I've got an itch. You mind
coming over here to scratch it?

Shut it, hair gel.

[GIGGLES]

[LAUGHS]
[BAWLS]

Oh.

[LAUGHING]

[GRUNTS]

Get off me.

Huh.

[♪♪]

I can't break through.
It looks like we wait.

What if the Green Ninja
returns with the mask first?

The Quiet One will not fail.

[♪♪]

[PANTS] Heh heh heh.

Hurt me all you want,

but I'm never gonna let you
get away with this.

Physical pain
can only hurt so much.

I intend far worse.

Then what do you want?

I want you to feel the emptiness
that I feel.

When your father is reborn,

he won't be the man
you recognize.

His soul will be gone.

And I want his cold hands
to destroy you.

You're a monster.
I'll never feel what you feel.

We will see.

Fight me. Let's end it here.

I'm already two steps ahead.

[PANTS]

No. Don't.

[♪♪]

[YELLS]

Where's Nya
when you need her?

[♪♪]

[LAUGHS]

KILLOW:
Ultra Violet, get over here.

Watch over them for me,
will you?

♪ Glow, little glow worm ♪

♪ Glimmer, glimmer ♪

That song again?
It ain't gonna work, beef cake.

Maybe I just feel like
singing.

♪ Lead us lest far... ♪

Hey, I said knock it off.

♪ Love's sweet voice
Calling yonder ♪

Psst. The keys.

COLE: ♪ Glimmer, glimmer
Shine, little glow worm ♪

The keys.
Get the keys.

Not the tea.
The keys. There.

Please.

♪ Glow, little glow worm
Glimmer, glimmer ♪

♪ Shine, little glow worm
Glimmer, glimmer ♪

♪ Shine little glow worm-- ♪

[GRUNTS]

Oh, thanks, little Wu.

[GROANS]
Uh-uh.

[LAUGHS]

[GASPS]

The Quiet One has the mask.

We have all three.

[ALL CHEER]

Now I believe we have a ceremony
to attend to.

[♪♪]

Take the ship.

Not so fast.

Careful. I wouldn't want you
to upset the child.

Ha ha. Looks like
we have the upper--

[CACKLES]

Oh, come on.

Zane, I thought you said
we had them outnumbered.

Uh...that was before I knew
how many of them there were.

[LAUGHS]

[SIGHS]

[SNICKERS] Oh, now isn't this
a lovely pickle?

Heh heh heh.

[GRUNTS]

Where's Lloyd?

The Green Ninja
can't help you now.

Remember how I didn't
care for her at first?

Then she won me over
with all that girl talk,

and we started to really
get to know each other?

Well, now I hate her.

Don't even think about it.

This can end one of two ways--

either you hand the masks over
peacefully...

Heh. I don't even have to know
the rest of the choices.

I like that one.
Or what?

Or we'll have to get
all ninja up on you.

What does that even mean?

I don't know. I was improvising.

Usually Lloyd does the talking.
But he isn't here. B...

Where is Lloyd?

Help.

There he is.

NYA: Lloyd.

[GROANS]

You guys,
Rumi is the Quiet One.

KAI: We kind of got that much.

[KILLOW SNICKERS]

[BEAST ROARS]
[SHRIEKS]

What is that?

It's back.

[ROARS]

[ALL YELL]

Over here.

Ach.

We have to get you
out of here, Quiet One.

Not without the masks.

[WHISTLES]

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

Hey, they're getting away.

Get me close.

I'm on it.
Zane, I need an assist.

[♪♪]

[GRUNTS]

JAY: He did not just--

COLE: He just did.

[GRUNTS]

Aah.

They have Lloyd.

COLE: They have the masks.

[ROARS]

And we have trouble.

Puppy.

[ROARS]
