how to fly this thing.

- Hands, 10 and two.

- (CHUCKLING)

I build and drive mechs

all the time.

I think I'm good.

Oh. Okay. Yeah,

you're probably right.

(SIGHS)

Um... What, uh...

What were you saying?

10 and...

- Oh, two! 10 and two.

- Two. Two.

- Yeah, just 10 and two.

- Okay, all right, all right.

That's kind of a rule of thumb

- in driving.

- That's good to know.

And don't forget

to check your rear-view.

You wanna see

what's back there.

You have blind spots

everywhere.

Rear-view, check.

Keep your eyes peeled.

You really wanna be

looking ahead.

(CHUCKLES) Noted, thank you.

You want me to really

open this thing up?

Sure. Yeah,

let's see what it can do.

Okay.

(ALL CHEERING)

Yeah!

(CHEERING CONTINUES)

(YELLING)

GARMADON:

Okay, that's enough!

- That's too fast.

- You didn't like that?

I mean, I liked it.

If I was driving,

- I would be fine with it.

- Sure, sure.

Right. I felt a little scared.

Were you scared?

Um, yeah. I'm not gonna lie,

I might need

a change of armor.

- LLOYD:
(CHUCKLES)

- GARMADON:
I want you to guard

the brake a little bit.

Okay, okay, got it, got it.

You're doing great, buddy,

this is going real... Goat!

- (GOAT SCREAMING)

- Goat, goat, goat!

(GARMADON SCREAMING)

(ENGINE SPUTTERS AND DIES)

(ALL SCREAMING)

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

(ALL PANTING)

Is everyone okay?

- Not really.

- Huh?

(NINJAS GASP)

GARMADON:
Behold, the Temple

of Fragile Foundations.

(RUMBLING)

(ALL SCREAM)

The helicopter crash has

destabilized the entire area.

And I'm not blaming anyone,

but if I ever see

that goat again,

he and I are gonna have words.

And you can bet

some of those words

are gonna have four letters.

And I'm not talking

about "goat."

NYA:
Give us the first letter.

JAY:
This is my new least

favorite place I've ever been.

GARMADON:
I've spent a lot

of time here, and trust me,

doesn't get any better.

LLOYD:
Wait a minute.

So, you know this place?

Who doesn't know

their childhood home?

(ALL GASP)

Yeah, this place

is so unstable

I had to move to a volcano

just to feel safe.

Well, shall we?

(DOOR CREAKS)

GARMADON:
Stay close.

I will lead you

through this perilous...

JAY:
Oh, look, a light switch.

Do you guys have

a bathroom I could use?

GARMADON:
Nope.

NYA:
(GASPS) Fresh fruit!

- NYA:
Finally, food!

- JAY:
I'm starving!

Ow! I think I chipped a tooth.

Yeah, my parents were really

into plastic fruit.

Whoa! Check out

those old photos.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

JAY:
Look at that!

KAI:
Aw! They're so cute!

NYA:
Look at his baby goatee!

JAY:
I mean, Master Wu

looks like a really old man.

COLE:
(LAUGHS) He even

schooled you back then.

(SCOFFS) Whatevz.

Come on, let's go find

the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon.

Wait.

That's... That's you.

And that's...

NYA:
(GASPS)

It's Lady Iron Dragon,

my hero!

Yes, Lady Iron Dragon,

aka La-Loyd's mom.

Wait, what?

Mom was a ninja?

GARMADON:
That's right.

She was the most awesome

ninja warrior I'd ever seen.

I remember the first time

I laid eyes on her.

It was during a raging war.

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

I was pillaging

a peaceful village

with my skeleton army

when I spotted this beautiful

warrior queen

from across

a crowded battlefield.

She was fighting for good

and looking great doing it.

Even as she decimated

my evil forces,

I couldn't take

my eyes off her.

- I was speechless.

- (EXPLOSION)

I summoned all my courage

to approach her.

I asked her

if she fought here often.

She said, "I do."

And let me tell you, La-Loyd.

When our eyes met,

sparks flew.

(GARMADON YELLING)

(YELLING)

It was love at first fight!

Your mother and I

were a true power couple.

I thought we were gonna

conquer the world together.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(GASPS)

(LAUGHING)

It was the happiest

time of my life.

LLOYD:
Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

If you guys were so perfect,

then why did you leave us?

It's...

Complicated.

One day, we came upon NINJAGO.

I told your mother

that I wanted to build

our son's future

on the ashes

of that fine city.

But it was at that moment

that your mother realized...

(LAUGHING WICKEDLY)

...that the life

of a conquering warlord...

(LAUGHS WICKEDLY)

...was not the life

she wanted...

For you.

I could've changed.

(INAUDIBLE)

But I didn't.

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

And before I knew it...

She was gone...

And you were gone.

La-Loyd,

your mom was the best.

She expected the best of me

and only ever wanted

the best for you.

I never should

have let you go.

NINJAS:
Lloyd! We found

the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon!

ZANE:
Here, in the bedroom!

We think it's in that box.

Open it, open it, open it!

ALL:
Whoa!

NYA:
What a bunch of junk.

Maybe there's something

important under it.

JAY:
This is the Ultimate

Ultimate Disappointment.

- ZANE:
Correct.

- LLOYD:
No. Wait.

There's a piece for each

of our elements.

Fire.

Whoa!

LLOYD:
And earth.

This rocks!

- LLOYD:
And water.

- H-2, oh yeah!

LLOYD:
And ice.

Cool.

LLOYD:
And lightning.

Ah!

And I'm... Green.

(STAMMERS)

But I'm so happy for you guys.

(CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY)

Yay.

You know, La-Loyd,

after spending

all this time with you,

seeing the amazing ninja

warrior you've become...

Yeah?

You know, I've realized

that we don't need

to fight each other

when we can fight

alongside each other.

Really?

Yeah.

La-Loyd, will you go back

to NINJAGO with me

- as father...

- (GASPS)

...and General Number One?

Wait, what? You...

(STUTTERS)

You're General Number One?

Exactly!

But... But you just said how

you regretted letting me go.

Because you'd make the perfect

General Number One.

We're an amazing team,

La-Loyd.

You, me,

the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon.

We'd be unstoppable.

No. I don't wanna be

your General Number One.

But just imagine it.

We can rule NINJAGO, together.

Come with me, La-Loyd.

We have so much lost time

to make up for!

And since I'll no longer

be attacking the city,

no one will hate you anymore.

And I'll never forget

your birthday again

because we'll celebrate

your birthday every day!

And think of all the things

I could teach you.

Tie a tie, ride a bike,

conquer a city.

And if we leave now,

we can unleash

the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon

on Meowthra

and conquer NINJAGO together.

Come on!

Dad, please don't.

(GASPS)

Come back to NINJAGO with me

and save the city.

- What?

- You'll be a hero.

But that's not who I am,

La-Loyd.

People would never

see me as a hero.

But it doesn't

have to be this way.

This is your chance

to make a change.

I didn't want it to be

this way either,

but here we are.

Dad, please, don't go.

If I couldn't change then,

what makes you think

I could change now?

No, no.

- ZANE:
Stop!

- LLOYD:
No, no, no!

- Back off!

- NYA:
No way!

KAI:
Hey, that's my sister!

- GARMADON:
Get off my face!

- KAI:
Bam!

- I got it!

- Give that back!

(JAY SCREAMS)

I can help you.

We can do it together.

If you just give me the box,

we can talk about it.
