Original subtitles

[male narrator] Previously on "Ninjago.."

You said something was coming.

[Garmadon] Darkness. Destruction! The end of Ninjago!

[Cole] We're too late.

- I think it was an Oni. - How do we stop it?

You can't. You need me.

[Lloyd] 'Open cell one.'

[theme music]

[Harumi] Lloyd..

[Jay] 'How far, Nya?'

[Nya] 'We're going as fast as we can.'

But this ship needs some fine tuning for sure.

[beeping]

[Garmadon] 'Hmm.'

[screams]

Am I the only one freaking out about this?

Why freak out?

Our deranged, psychotic arch-nemesis

is now our house guest.

I find the term "freak out"

inadequate and imprecise.

I prefer to say, I am deeply troubled.

Lloyd, are you sure he can be trusted?

- No. Of course not. - "Of course not?"

That's not what you're supposed to say!

You're supposed to say, yes!

What choice do we have?

If Master Wu is right, and we're under attack

by the Oni, then my father may be our best chance.

And anyway, he doesn't have his powers back.

So how much trouble can he really cause?

Did he just turn off the..

[Cole] 'Oh, great!'

[all screaming]

He shut off the engines! We're gonna crash!

Zane, the ignition switch!

Hit the ignition switch!

[yells]

[grunts]

[beeping]

Aah! I can see the ground!

It's getting really close, really fast!

[grunting]

[sighs]

Hmm. That button should be labeled.

Hmpf! It is labeled!

It says, "Don't push while in motion."

Perhaps it would be wise to accompany your father, Lloyd.

To prevent further...mishaps.

Argh! I can't believe I have to babysit my own father!

[instrumental music]

Where does this go?

Nowhere. That's a closet.

[sighs]

And this one?

[Lloyd] 'That's our sleeping quarters.'

This is where you sleep?

In this tiny...compartment?

It's not a "compartment." It's a cabin.

We're on a ship, remember?

And what are these?

Just pictures.

Do they celebrate some conquest, or victory?

No. They're just pictures.

You know...memories, good times.

Hmm. Who is that?

That's you.

Don't you remember?

Hmm..

[grunts]

- Hey! - Sentimentality is a weakness.

If you wish to defeat the Oni

you would do well to banish such feelings.

Fine! I didn't like that picture anyway!

So? Did you pop the question yet?

No. I'm waiting for the right time.

There may not be a right time, Jay.

- You gotta just do it. - Do what?

Jay's going to ask Nya to be his yang.

What? Seriously? That's great!

Why am I always the last person to know these things?

Shh! Will you keep your voice down, please?

He's been planning it for weeks.

Weeks? Ha-ha! You gotta just do it, Jay!

It's like ripping off an old bandage.

The sooner you get it over with, the better.

Um, did you just compare Nya to an old bandage?

Nice. Way to go, Cole.

Way to take the romance out of it.

[Zane] 'All hands to the bridge.'

[instrumental music]

[clears throat]

The Oni entered this realm through a portal or rift

between our world and theirs.

There are only one or two ways this is possible

and I'm willing to wager

it would have been through the Realm Crystal.

To stop this darkness from spreading

the crystal must be destroyed.

[clacking]

[beeping]

The Realm Crystal is currently housed

in the new high-security vault below Borg Tower.

That's smack in the middle of Ninjago City!

Um, we just escaped from there, remember?

It's engulfed in a giant black cloud of destruction!

Now you're asking us to turn around and go back?

I ask nothing.

I am telling you that if you wish to stop the darkness

the crystal must be destroyed.

And I'm telling you, forget it.

Just one of those black cloud tentacle things

touched my foot for a second and nearly froze me solid.

We wouldn't last a minute inside the darkness.

That is correct. You are merely human.

I, however, am Oni.

I can enter the darkness

make my way to the crystal and destroy it.

I will, of course, require a weapon.

Hah! Fat chance.

Do you really expect us to just hand you

a sword and let you go?

If you wish to live, yes.

Well, forget it! No way!

I wouldn't trust you with a-a-a..

A pillow?

It's the most harmless thing I could think of.

It's not going to happen! You're not going anywhere.

Not without me. I'm your son, remember? I'm Oni too.

No, you are part Oni.

That means you might survive.

Well, I guess we'll find out.

[dramatic music]

[Jay] 'Wow. Will ya look at that?'

- Yeah, pretty creepy, huh? - Yeah.

But also kind of beautiful in a weird way, isn't it?

What are you talking about? No, it's just creepy.

Well, I just meant the colors in the clouds...or not.

Never mind.

[gulps]

It's times like these you realize

what's really important in life.

I guess.

So, ahem, uh, Nya..

I've been wanting to ask you something

for a long while. Ha.

Okay.

[clears throat]

- Are you okay? - Yeah. Ahem. Yeah.

[growls]

[screams]

What do you want?

Absolutely nothing.

That guy gives me the creeps!

[sighs] What where you going to say?

Uh.. It can wait.

[dramatic music]

This will allow us to see what's happening

inside the cloud.

You sure you want to do this, Lloyd?

I'll be fine. Don't worry.

That assumption is unfounded.

You are mostly human. That side of you is weak.

It's also stubborn. Let's go.

Give him a sword, Cole.

Hmm.

Uh.. Are you sure about that?

- Hyah! - Look out!

[Cole screams]

[both grunting]

Try that again... now that I'm ready!

[sighs] That's better!

Okay, what the heck was that?

- Conflict fuels him. - He was powering up.

He did that just to get his powers back?

I do not trust him!

Lloyd, are you sure you want to go through with this?

[Lloyd sighs]

No...but I don't really have a choice.

[dramatic music]

Lloyd!

[gasps]

The camera-feed! Come on!

He opened his parachute.

- What are those? - They look like...tentacles.

Argh! That's one of the things that grabbed my foot.

Aah.. It was terrible.

[choking]

[gasping]

Oh, no!

We have to get him out of there!

[gasping]

Wait..

[pants]

[sighs]

[Zane] Look!

[sighs] He's okay!

[all sigh]

I.. I'm okay..

Hm! That was foolish.

You are fortunate to have survived.

Like you care.

[electricity crackling]

[intense music]

Oh, no! Doctor Borg! Can you hear me? Cyrus!

- Oh, Pix.. - Huh!

- It's your father! - He has fallen into darkness.

What does that mean? Is he still alive?

Yes, but in a deep slumber. Nothing you do will wake him.

Well, there has to be something! He's my friend.

- Grab his legs. - What?

Grab his legs, I'll get his arms.

If we can get him back to the temple

maybe Wu can give him a potion or something.

Only the destruction of the Realm Crystal can save him now.

Hey! Hey!

Ninja don't leave friends behind!

First, I am not a Ninja. Second, I'm not a fool.

And third, there are Oni out there

and we won't have a chance against them

if we're dragging a friend along like a human suitcase.

So you'd better decide. Do you want to win?

Or cling to your foolish ideals and perish?

If you can hear me, we're going to fix this. I promise.

[dramatic music]

Mayday, Mayday.. Anyone out there? Anyone?

[static crackling]

We're stuck on the 23rd floor

of the NGTV news building.

If anyone can hear me, please respond.

Anyone? Anyone at all?

Vinny, are you still messing with that radio?

We've got a broadcast in ten minutes.

Uh, boss, I don't think anyone else is out there.

I think we might be the last people in the whole city.

The news never sleeps, Vinny. Come on.

You're right, Miss Gossip. Be right there.

If anyone is out there..

- 'If anyone can hear me..' - Come in.

- 'Vinny Folson of NGTV news.' - We hear you. Come in!

- 'Signing off.' - What was that?

I believe it was a distress call.

But we have lost the audio.

Can you trace the signal?

I will attempt to triangulate the source.

[beeping]

There. Several miles east of us.

It appears to be a television station

in the outskirts of Ninjago City.

Maybe some people who didn't evacuate in time.

- We gotta help them! - What about Lloyd?

We can't just abandon him.

If someone's in trouble, Lloyd would be

the first person to tell us to help.

That may be. But Lloyd would be incorrect.

There is literally nothing more imperative

than the success of his mission.

If he fails, all of Ninjago is lost.

Perhaps, perhaps there is a way

to be in more places than one.

I can remain behind in the Samurai X-mech

while you take theBountyand investigate the distress call.

- What if you run out of fuel? - That would not be good.

Let us hope you are back before that happens.

We will be back.

[instrumental music]

She'll be okay.

[gasps] Uh-oh.

[chuckles]

- 'Oni..' - 'What do we do?'

Maybe we can sneak around behind them?

Or find a manhole or something?

I have a plan. Follow me.

[Garmadon] Uh.. Greetings, brother Oni! How are you?

Love what you've done with the place..

[intense music]

Now!

[roaring]

Aah!

[grunting]

[music continues]

Aah!

You.. You saved my life!

[snorts]

Again, your sentiment clouds your judgment.

The Realm Crystal is all that matters.

Two of us stand a better chance of victory than one.

Fine! I don't care either!

We work together until this is done

and then you go back to your jail cell!

- What? - What "What"?

- Why are you smiling like that? - Maybe I'm happy.

That's not a happy smile, that's an evil

'"I've got something up my sleeve" smile.'

Really? How's this?

- That's exactly the same. - No, it isn't.

- Yes, it is! - No, it isn't!

[gasping]

[panting]

Shall we continue?

[dramatic music]

Ah-ah-ah. Power before youth.

[grunts]

[grunts]

[Garmadon] 'Follow the darkness.'

[Zane] 'He must be nearing the source of the darkness.'

The Realm Crystal seems to be interfering with the signal.

[intense music]

This is it.

[eerie whispers]

There it is! Destroy it! Quick!

He cannot hear you.

Hmm.

[grunts]

[screams]

[indistinct chanting]

What is that?

Whatever it is

it's about to experience my full wrath!

[roars]

[screams]

[both gasp]

[groans]

Zane! How do I get the signal back?

The signal is lost, Kai.

Who...are...y-you?

I am the Omega.

The Destructor.

The Bringer of Doom.

Are you the protectors of this realm?

Yes. I am.

And you?

Usually, no, but..

Well, today...yes.

You are an Oni?

Yet you fight to preserve this realm? Why?

[sighs]

If anyone is going to destroy Ninjago, it'll be me.

Not some Oni usurper with a walking stick.

Then perish with them!
