Ninjago Season One Script (Part Six)

(Episode 11 Begins)

(In Ninjago City, Spitta runs away as he's being chased by the ninja.)

Cole: Going somewhere?

Spitta: Uh-oh! (They surround him and hold him at weapon-point.)

Jay: Thought you could joyride through town and not be noticed, eh? Where's the last Fangblade?

Spitta: I don't know what you're talking about.

Kai: You know what it is. The fourth Fangblade. When Pythor finds them all, he plans to unleash the Great Devourer.

Spitta: Oh, that Fangblade. Haha, you're too late. Pythor's already there now. He's probably already digging it up. If I were you, I'd start preparing for the worst, because when the Great Devourer is awakened, there will be nothing it won't consume!

Zane: Won't that mean it'll consume you too? (The snake takes a moment to absorb this knowledge before freaking out.)

Spitta: (Hysterically) Ah! Please, you have to stop him. That snake is crazy. I don't wanna unleash the Great Devourer. I'm a snake, not food!

Kai: Is it really too late to stop Pythor from getting the last Fangblade?

Spitta: You're days behind him. There's gotta be something else you can do!

(On the Bounty, the ninja have reported everything they learned to the rest of the team and are locating the location of the last Fangblade.)

Nya: The Venomari's right. By the time we cast sail clear across the other side of Ninjago, Pythor will have already beat us to the last Fangblade.

Jay: Oh, come on, guys. This is the last one. We gotta get it. We gotta think of something.

Cole: Hmm.

Lloyd: Hey.

Kai: Huh?

Lloyd: All we have to do is just get one Fangblade to stop him. What if we take back the other three? Pythor wouldn't risk having them all on him. He's probably hidden them somewhere while he goes for the fourth.

Cole: It's so simple.

Kai: Huh, why didn't I think of that?

Jay: It can't be that easy.

Zane: Easy? My algorithms suggest taking the other three would be far more dangerous. Pythor would undoubtedly have them protected by his top generals.

Kai: Ha, finally. I don't have to hold back.

Garmadon: Even if you could steal the other three, you don't even know where they are.

Wu: He's right. For the past few weeks, there have been almost no Serpentine sightings. How are they moving around? It's like they're ghosts.

Nya: Or snakes. Bridge, give me a sonar sweep of Ninjago. (The computer shows no activity.)

Kai: See, nothing. It's just like Sensei said.

Nya: But what if they aren't traveling above ground? They're snakes, right? Snakes burrow. Bridge, now give me a sonar sweep of Ninjago but twenty feet below surface. (The computer shows them the tunnels the Serpentine took.)

Kai: All the tombs have been interconnected.

Cole: To make one massive underground fortress.

Jay: And all this time, right under our noses.

Zane: Or rather, feet.

Kai: (Points to the main base) There, that's the most protected area. The Fangblades must be held there.

Wu: Then what are we waiting for? Nya, set the course.

Nya: Already on it. We'll be there by sunup.

(The next day, the ninja prepare for battle.)

Wu: There is no room for error. The Serpentine have shown that they have great powers, and to combat them, you must turn their greatest strengths into their greatest weaknesses. Kai, how will you defeat the Hypnobrai?

Kai: (Pulls down a blindfold) Their hypnotizing powers are useless if their opponent can fight without relying on his eyes.

Wu: Good, Jay, the Fangpyre is fast and his bite sharp.

Jay: But if he can't bite through your skin (He taps the armor on his arm), he can't turn you into one of them.

Wu: Yes. Cole, the Constrictai are strong. (Wu traps him in a net.) And they will not let go.

Cole: But instead of fighting back, one must try to loosen up. (He frees himself.) And a little soft shoe doesn't hurt.

Wu: Zane, the venom of the Venomari can make you see things. Cloud your perception.

Zane: Then I will use my new Falcon Vision. (He activates said visionary ability to illustrate his point.)

Wu: Very good. I have trained you well. You are all ready.

Kai: What about you, Sensei? Will you fight? We need all the help we can get.

Wu: My concern is that my old bones cannot keep up, but I will be there in spirit.

Nya: (On an intercom) We're arriving at the Mountain of a Million Steps. You all might want to see this.

Jay: Look at all those piles of dirt.

Kai: Wonder what those snakes are up to.

Lloyd: Wait for me.

Wu: This is not your fight. The Green Ninja is too important for a future destiny. You shall stay with me.

Nya: (Arrives with her Samurai Mech) Well, he's gonna have to look after himself, because we made room for you. (She points to a seat on her Mech.)

Kai: Well, you said you were concerned that you couldn't keep up, so Jay and Nya rejiggered the design so you could come along. Well, what do you think?

Wu: I think...shotgun! Haha!

Garmadon: I will stay back with Lloyd. I don't enjoy saying this but...good luck.

(The team climb down a rope.)

Jay: (whispering) I thought you said this place would be heavily guarded, Zane.

Zane: (whispering) Forgive me. Even Nindroids make mistakes.

Cole: (Walks up to a wall with a carving of a ninja on it) Hey, check this out.

Jay: Pfft. That doesn't even look like me.

Kai: Ugh, they're gonna pay for that.

Cole: I mean, at least give me a decent mustache. (He goes to rub it, but the wall opens, revealing a secret passageway.) Uh, I meant to do that. (They go inside and enter the inner sanctum where the Generals are.)

Fangtom: So, what happens when the Great Devourer is unleashed? Will it really consume everything?

Skalidor: I hope so, if only to teach the surface dwellers a lesson for locking us underground for so many years.

Acidicus: Who knows if the legend is even true? I for one am curious to see what happens.

Skales: (Approaching them) Keep alert, Pythor should be back soon.

Kai: There's too many to deal with at once. I say we travel by shadow.

Nya: Right behind you.

Wu: And I'll be right behind you.

(Back on the Bounty's bridge, Lloyd walks in on Garmadon typing on the computer.)

Computer: Transferring files.

Lloyd: (Gasps) You're stealing? (Garmadon turns around.) Dad, my friends are risking their lives to save Ninjago, and you go behind their backs to gain an advantage?

Garmadon: I'm sorry, but I can't help it. Ever since the Devourer bit me, evil runs through my blood.

Lloyd: You left me for so long. Where did you go?

Garmadon: Son, there are places in this world void of any good. Dark places.

Lloyd: Is that where Sensei found you?

Garmadon: You know how I've always wanted those Golden Weapons, well, this place allowed me the power to possess them.

Lloyd: But why didn't you take me with you?

Garmadon: Every boy has a choice to grow up to be whoever they want to be. But I never had that choice. Because I was bitten, evil runs through my veins. But you still have a choice. You don't need to be like me, Lloyd. Your uncle has a plan for you, and even though it may be to stop me one day, we have to follow our own destiny. And after I help the ninja stop Pythor, I'll need to leave again.

Lloyd: (Angrily) Then why don't you just leave now!?

Garmadon: Lloyd—

Lloyd: No, really! Go back to whatever evil place you came from.

Nya: (On the computer) All right, Operation Stealth was a total bust. We're gonna need reinforcements. Anyone there? (Garmadon reaches for the computer but is stopped by Lloyd.)

Lloyd: We don't want your help, and we don't need you here. Maybe it would've been better if you hadn't come at all.

Garmadon: If...if that's the way you feel. (He leaves.)

Lloyd: (presses a few buttons) I'm trying to help, Nya. Just hold on.

(In the fortress, the ninja are surrounded by snakes.)

Nya: Lloyd, can you hear me? Ugh, I'm not getting anything.

Wu: Forget them. We need to fight back. Ninja, show them what you've learned.

Skalidor: (grips Cole) Always wanted to make you my main squeeze.

Cole: Must relax. Think loose. (He frees himself.)

Skalidor: What?

Cole: Haha! Triple Tiger Sashay! (He knocks out Skalidor and two Constrictai.)

Skales: You're surrounded, young Fire starter. Perhaps you can now do our bidding. (He tries to hypnotize Kai.)

Kai: Ugh. Must not look. Ninja, go! (He uses Spinjitzu on the Hypnobrai.) I wish I could see me now, because you all just got Kai'd.

(One of Fangtom's heads tries to bite Jay on his armor, but screams when he gets hurt.)

Jay: What's wrong? Don't like the taste of defeat? Well, get used to it.

Nya: Looking good.

Jay: Thanks. You look great too.

Zane: Don't mean to interrupt the lovebirds, but we do have Fangblades to capture. (A Venomari used his venom on him.) Switching to Falcon Vision. (The Falcon flies around allowing Zane to fight.)

Kai: Look, the Fangblades.

Cole: I'll let you have the honors.

Kai: Oh, no. After you.

Cole: (runs towards it, but his hand gets trapped) Aah! It's a trap! (They get trapped in a cage. Pythor arrives with his scouting party and the last Fangblade in hand.)

Pythor: Come, come, can this get any better? Seriously, they fell right into my trap.

Kai: Oh, this isn't good. Where's Lloyd when you need him?

(After pressing a few more buttons, Lloyd changes into his ninja gi.)

Lloyd: The Green Ninja is here to save the day.

Nya: (On the computer) Lloyd? Lord Garmadon? Is anyone there?

Lloyd: it's me, Nya. I'm here. But my dad left. How are you guys holding on? (He notices static.) Nya? Hello?

Nya: (fixes it by throwing a rock at her Mech) We're fine, but we're a little held up at the moment. Our weapons have been taken, and we're locked in cages.

Cole: And Pythor's returned with the fourth Fangblade.

Zane: Lloyd, where did your father go?

Lloyd: I-I told him to leave. He was trying to steal secrets.

Kai: Oh, big surprise there. I told you about that guy, but you guys wouldn't listen.

Lloyd: My dad's going back to where he came from. But don't worry, I'll save you.

Wu: You're not ready, Lloyd. Your destiny is too great to risk.

Cole: I hate to break it to you, Sensei, but if we don't get out of here before Pythor unleashes the Great Devourer, I think this will be the end of all our destinies.

Lloyd: Ugh, I'll get you out of there in a jiff. (He tries to take a weapon from a cabinet, but they fall on him.) Ouch.

Pythor: Together, we have taken back the four Fangblades. When we return them to the City of Ouroboros, together we will unleash the Great Devourer! (Everyone cheers.) To the City of Ouroboros!

Chokun: We spent so much time digging this underground fortress, it'd be a shame not to use it a little bit more.

Acidicus: At least let us celebrate in capturing the ninja. (Snappa nods in agreement.)

Skales: (Whispering) Give them this victory, and tomorrow we will return the blades to Ouroboros.

Pythor: Fine, but I don't want anyone here to let down their guard, you hear me? (Skales nods.) Then tonight, we celebrate with a Slither Pit! (A battle begins as Kai looks on.)

Kai: Ugh, so all we can do is just wait? This is killing me.

Wu: Patience. Lloyd will figure something out.

Kai: We're putting all of our trust into the son of the greatest villain Ninjago has ever seen. Uh, is anyone else having doubts about this plan? Just because we don't have our weapons doesn't mean we can't use our powers. We just need to focus.

Wu: The chamber was built out of Vengestone. Our Elemental Powers are rendered useless. Patience.

(Kai sighs and grabs a tube of hair oil from Jay and Cole's checker board.)

Jay: Hey, that hair oil was just about to be kinged.

Kai: Yeah? Well, I'm just about to get us out of here. (He spreads hair oil on his gi.)

Cole: Whoa, greaseball. How about warning us before you do that?

Kai: Unh, you can make jokes all you want, but I don't think we need our special powers to get out of here. Just a little ingenuity. (He slips through the bars.)

Jay: He made it.

Zane: Look at that.

Cole: All right, slickster. But now what?

Kai: Now, we quietly do a little ball and chain. (He climbs down a chain.)

Fang-Suei: Let's change the game, shall we? (He pulls a lever that spins a wheel.) Vat of Venom! (He adds venom to the arena.) Next two fighters! (Kai swings on the chains.)

Nya: It's working, keep going.

Cole: Come on, everyone. Let's see if we can throw our weight around. (They start running across the cage.)

Jay: Come on, more speed.

Kai: Next one and I've got it. Push. (He jumps, but Pythor caught him.)

Pythor: Uh, uh, uh. Trying to escape, are we?

Kai: Heh. I bet this looks kind of bad, doesn't it, huh? (Pythor not only puts him back in the cage, he chains the team's wrists to the bars.)

Cole: (Sarcastically) Great, we're in such a better place than we were before.

Zane: And now we can't even play checkers.

Jay: I was gonna be kinged, Kai.

Nya: (To Wu) Don't worry, Sensei. I have faith in Lloyd.

(Lloyd climbs up the Mountain of a Million Steps.)

Lloyd: Whoosh. Ninja roll. Flying Drag—(He trips.) whoa! Ninja recover! Whoosh. Ninja roll.

Kai: Hey, look up there. It's Lloyd.

Lloyd: Come on, Lloyd. You're the Green Ninja. You can do this. (He trips on a rock going downstairs.) That one hurt. Ow! (Grunts. He falls all the way down, making the Serpentine confused.) I really gotta grow into this thing. Well, if we don't meet again, Pythor. Unhand the ninja, or suffer humiliation against the Green Ninja! (Everyone laughs at him.)

Pythor: Oh, yeah? You and what army?

Lloyd: Uh, how about my army of fists? (He punches, but almost falls again. Everyone laughs.)

Garmadon: Or this army? (He stands in front of the Skulkin.)

Lloyd: Dad!

Garmadon: Lloyd, you helped me realize I do have a choice. And if there is anyone who is going to threaten Ninjago, it better well be me.

Pythor: The Skeleton army? But why would they fight beside you? You betrayed them and Samukai long ago.

Kruncha: Because everybody hate snakes! (The army laughs.)

Pythor: Attack!

Kruncha: Attack! (Pythor pulls a lever that makes the cage descend into the vat of venom.)

Jay: Hey, we're moving.

Cole: Yeah, the wrong way.

Skales: (Nuckal blabbers at Skales.) Are you serious?

Kruncha: (punches him) He never saw that coming.

Nuckal: Uh, saw what coming? (Kruncha sighs and hits him.)

Nya: Lloyd!

Lloyd: (frees the ninja and their weapons) Told you I'd save you.

Kai: Go, ninja, go.

Ninja: Ninja, go! (They use Spinjitzu to clear a path. Garmadon soon faces Pythor in a brief battle before the snake slithers away.)

Pythor: So long, sucker.

Cole: Going somewhere?

Pythor: Oh, dear. (Cole takes the Fangblades, but Pythor disappears.)

Cole: Where did he go?

Kai: Who cares? We have the Fangblades. Let's get out of here.

Ninja: Ninja, go!

Nuckal: Don't worry about us. We'll keep fighting the good fight.

Kruncha: I never thought I'd be saying this, but go, ninja, go!

(The ninja leave on the Bounty.)

(Lloyd sees his father packing up)

Lloyd: You're leaving?

Garmadon: Now that you are safe, and the ninja have the Fangblades, there is nothing else I am needed for.

Lloyd: I need you. (Sighs) I know you have to leave, but know this: when we meet again, I'm gonna do everything in my power to defeat you.

Garmadon: (pats Lloyd) I wouldn't have it any other way. (He opens the door.) Oh, and, son? You're a good boy. Soon, you'll be a great man. Although we're now on opposite sides, I'm still very proud of you.

Lloyd: Wait, I can get you one of Jay's gliders. You probably don't need it, but it—(He sees that he already left.) might help. So long, Dad.

(On the bridge, the ninja celebrate their victory.)

Nya: He left, didn't he? (Lloyd nods.) Then have some Snogfruit Punch. Cole made it, and it's actually not bad. (She raises her glass in a toast.) To Lloyd's dad!

All: Hear, hear!

Lloyd: To Dad!

Wu: Tomorrow, we arrive at Torchfire Mountain to destroy these Fangblades once and for all. And it couldn't have been done without your father. I'm going to miss him.

(Everyone cheers. Outside, Pythor watches them through a window.)

Pythor: You're going to miss more than him when I get through with you, ninja. (He laughs.)

(End Of Episode 11)
(Start Of Episode 12)

(The Destiny's Bounty is flying through a storm; in his cabin, Master Wu uses the spirit smoke and sees the ninja being surrounded by the Serpentine before seeing himself being eaten by the Great Devourer and gasping. In the dining room, Kai, Nya and Jay are keeping watch over the four silver Fangblades.)

Nya: Why is it that Torchfire Mountain is the only place we can destroy the Fangblades?

Kai: 'Cause the Fangblades are made from the original teeth of the Devourer. They're so strong they can only break down in extraordinary heat.

Jay: Uh, could someone pass the salt? (The Destiny's Bounty tilts, sliding the salt shaker towards him.) Hey, thanks. (Cole comes in, green from air sickness.)

Cole: (groggily) Please. No one talk about food. How much longer until we get there?

Jay: Not long. Hey, Cole, you're looking a little green over there. How'd you like a mucus salt sandwich? (Cole goes outside to vomit. Jay laughs.) Speaking of green, who would've guessed little Lloyd Garmadon turned out to be the Green Ninja?

Nya: I know. He was such a brat at first. It's hard to believe he's gonna become the greatest ninja that ever lived.

Kai: (clears his throat) Where is that little runt?

(Lloyd is in the training room.)

Lloyd: (in a western drawl) Serpentine, it's time I Spinjitzu you back into the filthy holes you came from. Ninja kick! Tiger claw! Ninja, go! (He attempts Spinjitzu but falls.)

Pythor: (Laughs; turns visible) What a joke. You were always a boy who chased stupid dreams.

Lloyd: Pythor! How did you get aboard?

Pythor: (Picks Lloyd up) You think I would allow the ninja to steal the Fangblades from me?

Lloyd: Ugh! You'll never get away with it! Hey— (Pythor puts tape over his mouth and ties him to a punching bag.)

Pythor: Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. As they say, out of sight, out of mind. (He disappears and laughs.)

(A tour bus stops next to Torchfire Mountain.)

Guide: Thanks, folks, for choosing the Ninjago Tour Company to see our land's most scenic destinations. And if you look to your left, you'll find Ninjago's very own Torchfire Mountain, where the core of the natural volcano can reach up to three bajillion degrees! (While the tourists took pictures, a boy sees the Bounty.)

Boy: Look, Mommy, a flying ship.

Woman: Oh, honey, ships don't fly. Only planes.

Boy: No, Mommy, it's a ship.

Woman: Heh, uh-huh. That's nice, honey.

Nya: Will everyone please place their seat back and tray table in the full upright and locked position? We have reached our destination: Torchfire Mountain. Give it a minute while we settle into position. (The bus leaves; meanwhile, the ninja exits the cabin each with a Fangblade in hand.)

Jay: (Sighs) It's roasting out here.

Kai: Heh. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Jay: Hey, what's with Sensei?

Zane: I do not know. He's been distant all morning.

Wu: Ah, it is beautiful, is it not?

Zane: Sensei, we are ready for the destruction of the Fangblades, yet you seem disinterested.

Wu: You do not need my approval to finish the task.

Jay: Uh, but Sensei—

Wu: Butts are for sitting. And besides, there will come a time when you will have to go on without me.

Kai: Sensei, you're talking crazy. You've been alive for, like, forever. (Cole nudges him.) Ugh!

Zane: What he is trying to say is you are like the sunrise. We cannot begin a day without you.

Wu: Ah, but even the sun must go down so a new day begins.

Cole: I don't like metaphors. What are you trying to say? Are you leaving us again?

Wu: In meditation, my smoke visions have come to an end, and tomorrow, I cannot see. This worries me.

Jay: But it could be a good omen, you know. We destroy the Fangblades, then everything's gravy.

Wu: Let's just get rid of them, for good. (Inside the generator room, Pythor destroys a machine, making the Bounty unstable. Wu holds on to a wooden plank.)

Cole: Sensei! Hang on. We're coming. (He falls, but the ninja catch him and he grabs Wu.) Unh! You're not going anywhere, old friend.

Wu: Thank you, Cole.

Kai: Argh! Nya, what's going on?

Nya: Ah! Someone or something has overridden the system. (In the training room, Lloyd manages to escape and uncovers the tape from his mouth. He reaches the intercom.)

Lloyd: Pythor's on board! (As his message echoes over the ship, the ninja look back to find the Anacondrai with the Fangblades in his hands.)

Pythor: Sorry if I don't lend a hand, but I'm really in a rush. Got this whole Devourer thing going on. (He chuckles.) Toodaloo. (He laughs and turns to find Lloyd with a Bo staff.))

Lloyd: Where do you think you're going?

Pythor: Ah. A little cliché, don't you think?

Lloyd: Uh, cliché?

Pythor: I wouldn't expect a child to understand.

Lloyd: Hey, I've grown up a lot. (He attacks him, but Pythor dodges.)

Pythor: Hm, puny strength, no fundamentals, sloppy footwork. You think you can defeat me?

Lloyd: I'm not trying to defeat you. I'm just trying to keep you busy until the cavalry arrives. (Nya, in her Samurai Mech, walks up to Pythor. Lloyd kicks him.) Haha, I hit him. I hit him, guys!

Pythor: Oh, as much as I would like to play with your overgrown toys, I have a ride to catch. (He jumps off the Bounty and lands on a Rattlecopter.)

Lloyd: No!

Pythor: So long, suckers!

Jay: Don't let go!

Kai: You think I don't know that?! (The ninja fall, but Nya catches them.)

Nya: Gotcha!

Jay: I don't think I've ever been more glad to see you.

Nya: Feel the same. Come on, he's getting away.

Jay: Look, there!

Pythor: The City of Ouroboros is miles away, this Rattlercopter will never get us there in time. They'll catch up to us.

Skales: Don't worry, sir. We've already made preparations.

Pythor: What preparations? (They land next to the tour bus.)

Skales: I take it you're pleased?

Pythor: Very. Very pleased, Skales.

Boy: Mommy, snakes are kicking people off the bus.

Woman: Don't be silly, sweetheart. Snakes don't— (The Serpentine board the bus and evacuate the passengers: Mezmo takes a chicken dish.)

Mezmo: Yummy.

Boy: See, Mommy? Snakes.

Pythor: Next stop: Ouroboros!

(As the ninja prepare to go after the Serpentine, Lloyd brings the Golden Weapons.)

Wu: If Pythor returns the Fangblades to the City of Ouroboros, he'll awaken the Great Devourer.

Nya: Well, we're not gonna let that happen.

Lloyd: Oh, what about me?

Kai: We need someone to stay with the Bounty.

Lloyd: But did you see me kick him in the face? I'm an asset. I kick butt. And face.

Kai: Patience, kid. You're too important now that you're the chosen one.

Wu: Patience, hmm? Ah, the student has become the teacher.

Jay: What do you say we play a little catch-up?

Cole: It's my favorite game.

Ninja: Ninja, go! (The ninja summon their vehicles.)

Jay: I've got him in my sights.

Guide: Is this some kind of special tour?

Pythor: Oh, shut up and drive.

Skales: Sir, the ninja are on our tail. They'll catch up with us in no time.

Pythor: Ninja. (He grabs a microphone.) Good afternoon, my cold-blooded minions. If you look off to your left and behind you, you'll find ninja. So annoying. So man your stations, chaps! We've got guests. Let's make sure we give them the ride of a lifetime. (The Fangpyre turn the bus into the Serpentine Express.)

Kai: What is that? A truck?

Wu: That is no truck. It is a moving fortress.

Cole: Argh!

Kai: Watch out! How are we supposed to get close to that thing? Bring it on.

Nya: We've got company. Sensei!

Wu: Huh? Let me see. (He destroys two of the Serpentine's vehicles.) Oh, this is fun. (Lloyd screams as he tries to pilot the Bounty.)

Cole: If we have any chance at getting on that truck, we need to work together.

Nya: I've got an idea. Jay, follow me. Zane, try to get in close and cool him off.

Zane: Okay, I'm going in. Ninja, go! Goodbye. (He detaches the tail of the train.)

Jay: All right. Nice one, Zane. Now let's board that truck.

Skales: We're running out of time. If the ninja stop us from getting to the City of Ouroboros, we may never awaken the Great Devourer.

Pythor: Don't lecture me. Faster!

Guide: I can't. If we drive any faster, the engine could explode.

Pythor: Fine, then I'll do it. Get out.

Guide: Now?

Pythor: Now.

Guide: Aah! (He jumps out.) I hate snakes.

Pythor: Don't let them reach the front.

Skales: I'll personally see to it myself.

Kai: Let's split up. Last one to the front is a rotten ninja.

Jay: All right. (He uses his Spinjitzu on some Serpentine.) Haha! Where'd everyone go?

Zane: Time to cool down.

Kai: What? You try fighting up here. Huh?

Nya: Mind if I interrupt?

Wu: Hmm, hold this, please. (He hands his teacup to Chokun.)

Chokun: Oh, yeah. (Wu pours him tea.) Thanks. (Wu punches him off the train and catches the cup.)

Wu: Thank you.

Kai: Watch out!

Wu: Duck! Duck! Duck!

Nya: I'm trying. I can't. (They hit a billboard.)

Kai: Ninja, go!

Wu: I told you to duck.

Nya: I don't want to hear it.

Skales: End of the line, loser.

Cole: Watch out. (Cole summons his Tread Assault.)

Skales: No. No, no, please! (Cole fires a missile at him and blasts him off the train, making the other Serpentine run away.)

Cole: I love this thing. (Nya opens up the roof and everyone jumps in.)

Wu: Cole. Good to see you.

Cole: Good to see you too.

Kai: Whoa! (He falls, but Zane catches him.)

Jay: Heh. Nice catch, Zane.

Cole: Last one's a rotten ninja.

Kai: Ah, so be it. But one more car to go. Pythor's in there with the four Fangblades. Who's first? (Wu goes in and detaches the car.)

Jay: Sensei!

Cole: What are you doing?

Wu: My destiny is to face Pythor alone. Your destiny is to look after Lloyd.

Kai: This is turning into a habit with him. How do we get off this thing?

Lloyd: Ah! The Lost City of Ouroboros. (He drives faster.)

Wu: This ends now!

Pythor: So be it.

(Cole yawns as everyone waits by the train.)

Nya: This is really boring. (Lloyd anchors the train.)

Ninja: Lloyd!

Lloyd: Hook, line, and sinker.

Kai: To Ouroboros as fast as you can.

Lloyd: Aye, aye, captain.

Wu: Ninja, go!

Pythor: You're getting slow, old man. (They crash near the city's entrance. Pythor gets to the statue.) Finally, the Great Devourer will be awakened. (He inserts the Fangblades.) Perfect. (He laughs.) It's working! Awaken, great one! Awaken the insatiable appetite of the beast that will consume all of Ninjago!

Wu: What have you done!?

Pythor: Don't you see? Releasing the Great Devourer is the only way to get back at the people of Ninjago for locking my kind underground for all those years. We should have been the ones ruling the surface, not you!

Wu: You are playing with a power that cannot be controlled. It will consume everything, even the Serpentine.

Pythor: Unleash, Great Devourer, and be free to do my bidding, for I have awakened you!

Kai: Okay, Lloyd. Put us down right after that truck.

Lloyd: Wait up, guys. (The statue crumbles.)

Pythor: No, no. It isn't inside the statue? Then where is it? (The ground beneath him rumbles.) Aah! It's so big!

Wu: You shall stay to see what you have done.

Pythor: Aah! Let me go, you fool! Don't you see? It's underneath us!

Wu: This is our destiny.

Kai: What's going on? Who's that creature underground?

Wu: You must do everything in your power to stop the Great Devourer. Go, ninja! Go!

Kai: No, Sensei. (The Devourer lunges at Wu and Pythor. The screen fades to black and reads "To Be Continued".)

(End Of Episode 12)
(Start Of Episode 13)


(Episode 13 Begins)

(The ninja watch as Wu stays behind with Pythor.)

Wu: You must do everything in your power to stop the Great Devourer. Go, ninja, go! Yes. (The Devourer swallows Pythor and Wu.)

Kai: Sensei.

Jay: No. (The Devourer spots them.) Oh, maybe if we stand perfectly still...

Kai: Run!

Jay: (Trips) Wait! Wait for me!

Nya: Fire up the engines. I said fire up the engines!

Lloyd: There's no wind. And we only have reserved fuel.

Nya: Use it. (The ninja make it to the Destiny's Bounty.)

Jay: Uh, hate to tell you this, but objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

Nya: Working on it. Blasters on full.

Kai: Whoo-hoo! Take that, you stupid snake.

Jay: Uh, I think it heard you.

Kai: Nya, we gotta go faster. That thing is gaining on us.

Nya: We're going as fast as we can. I'll try to make it to Scattered Canyon.

Zane: Probability of us making it that far is less than 8 percent.

Nya: Never tell me the odds!

Cole: It's coming in for another attack. Port side.

Lloyd: We're losing speed. We'll drop to the ground pretty soon.

Nya: Throw everything overboard.

All: What?

Nya: We need to lose some weight.

Lloyd: Port side! (The ninja begin throwing out many things including a fridge only for the Devourer to eat it all and grow exponentially.)

Jay: Man, he sure is hungry. Does anyone else think the Devourer looks bigger than it did before?

Cole: The more it consumes, the bigger it gets. Don't throw anything else overboard.

Nya: Phew. We made it to Scattered Canyons. Hold on!

Cole: Ah, we lost him. (The Devourer bites off an engine.)

Nya: Abandon ship!

Zane: Goodbye, old friend. (They leave, and the Devourer swallows the Bounty.)

All: No!

Cole: Unh, it's gone.

Kai: Oh, that was too intense. All that action makes you so thirsty.

Zane: There's no time to rest. We need to warn people before it becomes bigger.

Jay: Bigger? Bigger!? That thing in one big bite crushed our entire ship! We need to save as many as we can. Uh, uh, we'll find some kind of refuge, somewhere safe to hide. Ooh, the Serpentine Tombs. Yeah, they're underground. Sure, we'll be without sunlight for months, but they're perfect.

Cole: And what? Just give up?

Jay: You know as well as I do, we have no chance at stopping that thing!

Kai: Hey, stop it! Listen to yourselves. Is this what Sensei Wu would've wanted? Us fighting? Running and hiding? Giving up?

Lloyd: But he's not here anymore. (Everyone begins to mourn losing their master.)

Kai: But his teachings live on. Sensei once told me it's not the size of a ninja in a fight, it's the size of the fight in the ninja. All this training, all of these battles we've had with skeletons and Serpentine. We've persevered through so much, we can't just give up now. A ninja never admits defeat. A ninja always pick himself up when he is down. Which is exactly what Sensei Wu would want us to do right now.

Zane: but how do we destroy a snake of that magnitude?

Jay: Yeah, it's not like we have an extra Sacred Flute lying around to charm it. Or wait, haha, how about one of our awesome Dragons? Oh, I forgot. They took off and left us high and dry. Or, hey, what about out Golden Weapons? Which will do nothing against a snake that size. Heh, oh, we are so hooped.

Cole: Ah, Jay's right. We would need a weapon so big.

Kai: Or an idea that's even bigger! Ha! Jay, you're a genius! You thinking what I'm thinking?

Jay: Probably not, but go ahead.

Kai: There's no time. I'll fill you guys in on the way.

Jay: Wha—Where are we going?

Kai: We're going to destroy that snake once and for all.

(The Serpentine gather inside the Fangpyre Tomb.)

Fangtom: Why did we listen to Pythor? Unleashing the Great Devourer was a horrible idea. It's all your fault!

Skales: How was I supposed to know he was mad?

Fangtom: You were his right-hand man. You should've known better. The Devourer will eat us all. (The Devourer approaches them. Everyone screams and rushes into the Tomb.)

Skales: Out of my way, coward.

Fangtom: You're the coward. (The tomb is closed as the Devourer thunders past.)

(The ninja made it to Ed & Edna's Scrap N Junk.)

Cole: Good idea, Kai. If the Devourer likes to consume, this place is a full-on buffet.

Jay: (Sighs) Looks like my parents are gone.

Kai: Good, better for us. (He lays out a blueprint.)

Jay: It's so awesome.

Kai: Zane, you still have a recording of the Sacred Flute in your memory bank?

Zane: It might've been destroyed earlier, but I have its exact tone recorded and ready for playback. (He plays the flute recording.)

Kai: Good. And there should be enough spare parts around here to build this whopper. But we're gonna need to create our biggest Tornado of Creation yet. This is gonna be dangerous and we can't have anyone around.

(The Postman enters the Junkyard Whistling a tune.)

Cole: Ugh. What's he doing here? (He and Kai run up to him.)

Postman: Aah! You ninja are always sneaking around, giving people heart attacks. You're too quiet.

Kai: Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. But you need to get out of here, now.

Postman: Uh, well, now, I too have a job to do, and that's delivering the mail, which I plan to do. (He pulls out the Walkers' mail which Jay takes.)

Jay: Look, dude, my parents aren't even here. You really should be on your way.

Postman: Them, too? Uh, let me guess, are they at the "Take Back Ninjago" rally too?

Jay: Uh, "Take Back Ninjago" rally?

Postman: What, you guys haven't heard? Everyone's getting together for a rally in the city. You know, to raise awareness about all the Serpentine problems that have been surfacing lately.

Lloyd: Whoa, would you look at that. You guys are inspirational.

Postman: Wait a minute, you know what? You guys are right. Wherever you guys are, trouble is always around the corner. (As he speaks, the ninja notice the Devourer approaching and get into battle stances.) I think I'll be leaving now 'cause whatever you guys are up to, I want no part of it. (He looks behind him to see the Devourer.) Aah! S-s-snake! (He jumps in a trash can.)

Kai: Hey! It's now or never, guys! Ninja, go! Fire!

Cole: Earth!

Jay: Lightning!

Zane: Ice! (They use the Tornado of Creation and take the junk around them to make the Ultra Sonic Raider.)

Kai: Zane, now! (He plays the recording, but the Devourer dodges it.)

Cole: Zane, what was that? This isn't target practice. You're supposed to hit him, not give him a haircut.

Zane: May I remind you we just magically whipped up this heap of junk?

Kai: Well, I hope one of us created a reverse feature because...reverse!

Jay: How's this for reverse?

Zane: I need your help holding him in place.

Jay: How's this? (He uses a grapple hook.) Got him!

Kai: Before it gets away! Now, Zane. now! Take the shot.

Zane: Charm your way out of this.

Cole: It's working!

Kai: It's got a weak spot. (He points to a small, glowing green spot at the base of its head.)

Cole: What?

Kai: On its forehead. It's got a—(The Devourer strikes Zane's cockpit from behind with its tail.)

All: Zane! (The Devourer leaves.)

Cole: Is everybody okay?

Lloyd: Where's Zane?

Zane: Right here. (He emerges from the damaged cockpit now missing the left side of his hace, revealing the robotics underneath.) That was close.

Kai: Too close.

Jay: Perfect. Now that was a total failure.

Kai: Not total. Did you guys notice on his forehead? It has a weak spot.

Jay: Oh, great, let me make a note of that. Giant snake has wee, itty-bitty weak spot that'll be (raises his voice) totally impossible to get at because the thing is too ridiculously huge to do anything to stop it!

Nya: Are you done?

Jay: Ah, yes.

Nya: Because things just got worse. Look.

Zane: It's heading toward Ninjago City.

Jay: That's where my parents are.

Cole: So is everybody else.

Kai: If it consumes the biggest city in all of Ninjago, there will be no stopping it.

(The citizens continue attending the rally.)

Crowd: Hey, hey, what do we say? We want snakes to slither away. Hey, hey, what do we say? We want snakes to slither away. Hey, hey, what do we say? We want snakes to slither away. Hey, hey, what do we say...

(In Ninjago Metro)

Man #1: Huh. That's strange. The system is saying there's a train entering the city on Track 9.

Man #2: Uh, we don't have any trains entering on Track 9.

Man #1: Well, there's something big coming our way. (The citizens scream as the Devourer emerges. Ed tries to start the jalopy, but it's broken.)

Ed: Oh, boy. Oh, gosh. Oh, golly. Oh, gosh.

Jay: Mom? Dad? Leave my parents alone! Lightning!

Kai: Fire!

Reporter: Are you getting this?

Cameraman: Roll camera.

Cole: Mind if I borrow this? (He throws their van at the Devourer.)

Reporter: Go, ninja, go!

Zane: Ice!

Jay: Uh, I think we only made it mad.

(Garmadon enters Mystake's Tea Shop.)

Garmadon: Traveler's Tea.

Mystake: Only a fool requests Traveler's Tea. (She turns around and sees who she's talking to.) But you are not a fool. Uh, let me go get some in the back.

Reporter: (On TV) And I am here live, caught in the middle of an epic ninja versus snake battle. People, I have never seen bravery like this before. But I fear the ninja are no match for a beast this size. People are recommended to flee or run away, waving their arms wildly while screaming like little children. (The ninja are scattered on the ground as the Devourer lunges at them; the Samurai Mech stops it by holding its mouth open with a lightpost.)

Jay: Samurai to the rescue. Again.

Lloyd: Its breath smells worse than Cole's chili.

Cole: (Offended) Hey!

Kai: Get out of there, sis!

Nya: I can't! I'm stuck! (The Ultra Dragon attacks the beast and rescues Nya and Lloyd.)

Cole: Rocky! Our Dragons are back.

Zane: It appears Dragons go through a metamorphosis when they reach adulthood. They too have found their True Potential.

Cole: Ha! They couldn't have come at a better time. Go get them, Rocky! Go! (Shard's head blasts the Devourer with Ice breath.)

Zane: Ice! (Flame's head uses fire breath on it.)

Kai: Fire! (Wisp's head shocks it.)

Jay: Lightning! (Rocky’s head then slams it head on.)

Cole: Earth! Can Dragons get any cooler? Seriously.

Kai: Yes! It's running away. (The Devourer strikes the Dragon with its tail.)

All: No! (The Ultra Dragon hits the ground.)

Cole: No!

Nya: What now? (Lloyd turns around to find Garmadon.)

Lloyd: (Surprised) You came back!

Garmadon: Give me the weapons. I am the only one who can handle the power of all four weapons at once. It's the only thing that'll defeat the Devourer.

Jay: Uh, I thought we were supposed to do everything in our power not to let him possess the weapons.

Zane: I've ran every other scenario through my servers. It appears to be the only way.

Garmadon: Give me the weapons.

Zane: Kai?

Garmadon: Only I can destroy it. Or prepare to watch—

Kai: Quit your yammering and just do it. (He throws him the Sword of Fire.) When you have a chance to make the blow, it has a weak spot near his forehead. (By now, everyone but Jay has given the Dark Lord their weapons.)

Jay: (Giving him the Nunchucks of Lightning) Uh, I don't think this needs to be said, but we're gonna need these back.

Garmadon: (Chuckles) I'll do my part. You just make sure he stays in one spot. (He laughs and runs away.)

Jay: Stays in one spot? Stays in one spot!? How are we supposed to do that?

Kai: Don't forget: we're ninja. Come on, you overgrown worm. Take the bait. Come and get me. Whoa! (He runs throughout the city until he reaches Cole.)

Cole: Nice run. Now I'll take it from here. Whoo-hoo! (He leaps over buildings into a Construction site. The Devourer reaches it only to find Jay waiting for it.)

Jay: Looking for me? (It lunges at him only for the Lightning ninja to jump down an elevator shaft: he uses his True Potential to fly up with the beast following him until he reaches the top floor.)

Zane: What took you so long?

Jay: Save the humor, Zane. Now's not the time.

Zane: Instead of a fire escape, how about an ice escape! (They jump across to an ice slide.)

Jay: Haha, nice one, Zane. (They fly off the end as the Devourer opens wide.) No, no!

Kai: Now! (The Ultra Dragon catches the two just in time.)

Jay: You think it's working?

Kai: We're about to find out. (They managed to make the Devourer bite its own tail. They cheer.)

Cole: We did it! Now, where's Garmadon? He's not gonna hold on for much longer.

Lloyd: Look! (The sky becomes engulfed by dark clouds where Garmadon is on the roof of a skyscraper.) Dad!

Garmadon: You are the reason evil runs through my blood. You bit me once. Now feel what it's like to be bitten back. (He unleashes a purple energy as he jumps.)

Lloyd: Go get him, Dad.

Garmadon: Vengeance will be mine! (He destroys the Devourer and its venom spreads throughout the city. Everyone cheers.)

Jay: He did it.

Cole: No, we did it!

(The Serpentine are still in the tomb.)

Skalidor: Is that cheering?

Fangtom: The Great Devourer must have been destroyed.

Skales: Someone has to lead now.

(The ninja walks up to Ed and Edna.)

Edna: Ooh, our little ninja.

Cole: Hey, there you are, you big lug. (He pets the Ultra Dragon.) It's good to have you back.

Lloyd: I don't see my dad.

Kai: He should be around here somewhere.

Zane: Your analysis is incorrect. He is not here.

Cole: Then our Golden Weapons are gone too. Well, isn't that convenient?

Nya: Look, his footsteps.

Kai: I have a feeling you'll see your father again soon.

Lloyd: I know, but that's what I'm afraid of.

Cole: Ah, Sensei Wu!

Nya: (Gasps) Wow!

Jay: Ha! Would you look at that! He survived!

Wu: I can't tell you how glad I am to see you! (He passes his pupils to pick up his teapot.) The Devourer left a bad taste in my mouth. (He drinks some tea.) Ah. Much better. And still hot.

Lloyd: It's good to have you back, uncle. But my father left and he took the Golden Weapons.

Wu: Ah, very true. The ability of the weapon is truly great, but the ability to better oneself makes you limitless.

Jay: I couldn't have said it any better myself.

Kai: Besides, we have what is most important: you.

Wu: The pupils have become the masters.

Lloyd: Am I really gonna have to fight my father one day?

Wu: One day. But today we can feel good that Ninjago is saved, for tomorrow you will train for the day. Good will finally face evil and a final outcome will be decided for all of time.

Kai: Uh, but don't worry. We're gonna teach you everything we know.

Jay: And make sure you're prepared for that fight.

Cole: Because as we all know, good will always stand up to evil.

Zane: And ninja will always stand up for what is right.

Ninja: Go, ninja. Go!
