That's all I seem to have

at the moment,

just some upgraded shields.

LLOYD:
Face it, Garmadon.

You will never

take over NINJAGO,

so why don't you just give up

and go away for good?

Well, anything's open

for discussion.

Oh, yeah, except that.

Shields down!

Here, catch! Shields up!

(GRUNTING)

No!

(LAUGHS)

Did you see that?

GENERAL:
Oh, yeah, we saw it.

GARMADON:
I mean, who taught

you how to catch, man?

(ALL LAUGHING)

GENERAL:
Nice catch, loser!

Oh, yeah? Well, take this!

(GRUNTS)

(ALL LAUGHING)

That's amazing!

Who taught you how to throw?

It's funny you ask.

Um, no one, because I, uh...

I never had a dad

to play catch with me.

(CHUCKLES) Well, it shows.

'Cause that was

the worst thing

I've ever seen in my life.

Or, uh, you know,

teach me how to ride a bike,

- or shave...

- (EXPLOSION)

Or how to defuse a bomb!

You know what's funny?

Is I know how to do

all those things.

- Do you?

- Yeah.

Oh, good to know.

And they're just sitting

there, idle in my brain.

Just wasted. Floating away.

- Never taught them to anybody.

- LLOYD:
Mm-hmm.

GARMADON:
And they'll

probably die with me.

Really?

- When I die, if I die.

- (LLOYD GRUNTS)

- Just leave NINJAGO already...

- Which will never happen.

- ...please!

- GARMADON:
I will never die.

- And get out of my life!

- GARMADON:
Ever. Ever.

I...

Get out of your life?

(SCOFFS)

Weirdly kinda personal,

isn't it?

- Uh-oh.

- Oh, man.

LLOYD:
Um...

(STAMMERS) No.

You've got a lot of issues,

Green Ninja. (CHUCKLES)

I hope you get the chance to

work 'em all out

by the time I'm back.

And when I return,

I'll have something really

wicked in store for you.

Something big!

Uh, did he just say

he's coming back?

(SIGHS) Can't those Ninjas

get rid of him for good?

Oh, great. Now I have to

rebuild my Pilates studio.

MAN:
That stinks.

COP:
I don't know how,

but I bet Lloyd Garmadon

has something to do with this.

MAN:
You can sure

say that again.

COP:
I don't know how...

Is that Green Ninja

still staring at me?

GENERAL:
Yes, sir.

GARMADON:
Ugh. What a weirdo.

LEAD PILOT:
Volcano base,

this is Alpha Squad.

Arriving shortly at LZ.

PILOT:
Bakery team,

the victory cake

goes back in the fridge.

The victory cake

goes back in the fridge.

ANNOUNCER:
There is

a magma spill on Deck Three.

Avoid Deck Three

if sensitive to magma.

SOLDIER 1:
Just passed

Garmadon in the hallway,

he seems pretty angry.

SOLDIER 2:
He's requesting

a mandatory staff meeting

by the fireplace.

SOLDIER 1:
Is that

the room with the lava

or the room

where people get fired?

SOLDIER 2:
It's both.

(GRUNTS AND SCREAMS)

(BLOWS)

(SLURPS)

GARMADON:
(SIGHS)

Well, generals,

congratulations.

We finally conquered NINJAGO.

I'm not certain we did that.

- I was being sarcastic!

- GENERAL:
Whoa!

Every time I try

and conquer NINJAGO,

that meddling Green Ninja

thwarts me.

I mean,

who are these super ninjas?

Every time I come up

with a new plan,

they still beat me!

And they don't even have

cool suits!

You guys have, like,

crab outfits

and shark outfits.

I mean, maybe we're spending

too much on outfits.

That sounds right to me, sir.

Oh, come on!

Look, you guys gotta

think for yourselves.

I'm not your father,

all right?

(WHISPERS) Is that a weird

thing for him to say to us?

GARMADON:
General Number One,

do you wanna be a follower,

or do you wanna be a leader?

Uh... A leader?

How dare you.

GENERAL NUMBER ONE:

I mean, follower!

You! What's your title?

Uh, I'm General

Number Two, sir.

Well, now,

you're General Number One.

- Oh.

- And you, what's your title?

General Three?

Well, now you're

General Number Two.

You see

where I'm going with this?

FISHBOWL GENERAL: No.

I told the Green Ninja

I was coming back

with something big,

something wicked,

something with some pizzazz.

General Number One,

go ahead. Give me some ideas.

Well, sir,

I was thinking maybe

we could work

on the morale of the troops.

They're always scared of being

fired! (SCREAMING)

(NERVOUSLY) We could do the

same thing we did last time?

PUFFERFISH GENERAL: Whoa!

What if we dress up

as the Secret Ninjas?

It's time we develop

a code language.

Intimidation. We paint angry

eyebrows on the troops' faces.

What if you just ran

for mayor?

Whoa! Whoa!

Oh, come on. How hard is it

to come up with a genius idea?

GARMADON:
Anyone? Come on,

jump ball.

This is a safe place.

Go ahead. Just grab it.

- Excuse me, Lord...

- Nerd! You're interrupting.

Sorry, sir. We just cooked

this up in engineering.

- Give me that!

- (GRUNTS)

Garma-daddy likey!

- KAI:
(ON SPEAKERS) Lloyd...

- LLOYD:
Yeah?

KAI:
That's your dad.

You were open, man.

ZANE:
It was highly poignant.

JAY:
For me,

it's easy to fight him

'cause he's, like,

not my father.

But for you,

that must be so complicated.

LLOYD:
Not that complicated.

NYA:
You also really pulled

at my heartstrings, man.

I felt for you.

With... With the missiles.

No. With the other...

The other stuff.

- (LLOYD STAMMERING)

- The dad stuff.

Yeah, but, like, exactly what

are you referring to?

- Watching you and your father.

- The vulnerability.

You got so emotional.

(STAMMERING)

Emotions were the last thing

that was going on out there.

- Um, yeah.

- Mm-hmm.

It's okay, Lloyd.

Nobody's parents are perfect.

I mean, my mom is weird

and collects seashells.

Your dad levels cities

and attacks innocent people.

So, they've all got

their quirks, you know?

(TRANQUIL MUSIC PLAYS)

Uh, where's that

tranquil music coming from?

NYA:
Hey, look, everyone!

Master Wu is back.

- Hello, students.

- NINJAS:
Master Wu!

- Shock.

- How was your trip?

It was a deep

spiritual journey

that took me to depths

inside myself

I never knew existed.

Yeah. You have

a pretty serious tan line.

Don't judge me.

So, did you see us kick

Garmadon's butt?

- We vanquished him.

- Ba-ba bam!

I saw you fight

and I saw Garmadon retreat.

But you did not defeat him.

NINJAS:
What?

There's nothing ninja

about you ninjas.

We're so ninja. I don't know

what you're talking about.

You will never

truly defeat Garmadon

until you see things

from a different

point of view.

You have the power to win

the battle without fighting.

When you start using

your mind,

you won't need mechs

and machines.

Your call signs

are not just cool names.

They are the elemental powers

you were all born with.

Nya, you can create water

on your own.

(GASPS)

- And Kai, fire!

- Wow!

- Jay, lightning.

- (CRACKLING)

So ninja.

- Cole, earth.

- NINJAS:
Whoa!

We both spin.

And Zane, ice.

Ice is nice.

These elemental powers

are why I chose you

to form

the Secret Ninja Force.

It is the highest level that

you can achieve as a ninja.

I wrote a book about it.

It's called Ninjanuity.

Copyright, Master Wu.

(STAMMERS) And what about me?

What am I?

Lloyd, yours is the most

important element of all.

Okay. Hit me with it.
