"The Belly Of The Beast."
Vultures.
That's never a good sign.
They are carrion birds.
It is a sign they believe we are a potential meal.
Oh. Thanks, Zane. Way to boost morale.
Can you guys keep it down?
I'm trying to reach Pixal on the radio.
Come in? Pixal, can you hear me?
Mayday, Mayday!
Come in, Pixal.
-Any luck?
Nothing. There's something wrong
with the long-range transmitter, but I can't figure out what.
Okay, well, don't give up.
That's the last of it.
That's not good.
Less than a day's supply of water.
And the ATV and the Dune Bounty are wrecked,
and the rock-cycle isn't fast enough
to outrun those beetles.
Well, even if it could, it would only carry one of us.
Maybe Nya can draw some water out of the air?
In this heat?
Low humidity?
I don't think so.
Jay, what are you doing?
Carving a message on this rock.
So people know who we are when they find our bones.
Can we try to be a little more optimistic, please?
I'm afraid there is little cause for optimism.
Our situation is dire.
The Bounty's engine will not start
without the Thermolytic Kinetic Inverter.
The thermo-what?
It is a critical engine component.
Well, what's wrong with it?
It is missing.
I believe when Beohernie ripped through the hull...
Bernie!
...he tore that component out and swallowed it.
Ugh. Well, that's just great!
First, a giant beetle tries to eat us alive,
then we smash into a pile of rocks...
Can't we use the ATV's Inverter?
It was also damaged.
What about the rock-cycle's inverter?
It is inadequate for a vehicle
the size of the Dune Bounty.
Useless pile of--
Aw, this stinks!
No, no, no!
-Help! Jay!
Help!
Hang on, Jay!
Pull me in! Pull me in!
I can't. He's too strong.
Cole, can you grab my shirt?
I think so!
Take this!
Did you see that?
He just tried to eat me!
We better keep off the sand.
Oh, really?
I see only one option.
The digestive system of a beetle is very slow.
There is a good chance the Thermolytic Inverter
is still intact inside Beohernie's stomach.
Bernie!
What good does that do?
If one of us were to be ingested,
we might be able to retrieve the device.
Ingested?
Uh, are you kidding?
If we can get inside Beohernie's stomach...
Bernie. -...we should, in theory,
be able to retrieve the Inverter and exit again,
either through the creature's mouth,
or through the other end of the digestive--
La-la-la-la-la! I don't wanna hear this!
Yeah. Of all the bad ideas I've heard,
and I've heard a few...
Looking at you, Kai.
...this takes the cake.
I agree. It sounds nuts.
The facts are indisputable.
We need the Inverter.
The Inverter is inside the beetle.
Ergo, one of us must enter the beetle and retrieve it.
Hmm.
Don't tell me you're considering this?
I'm open to other suggestions, if anyone has one...
How do we decide?
Who gets to, you know, be...
It was my idea.
The responsibility is mine.
No. I'm the responsible one.
Guys, guys. You're both too valuable to risk.
It should be someone expendable.
-Like Jay. -What?
Look who's talking.
Guys! We're going to settle this like adults.
Ha!
I believe paper beats rock.
Do not worry, my friends.
Logically, I am the best choice.
Being a Nindroid, I am more difficult to digest
and can survive longer inside a stomach.
So long, buddy.
I have every intention of surviving, Jay.
Sure you do, pal. Sure you do.
Let's run through the plan again.
I bang the pot, drawing the creature's attention.
He eats me.
When I am in his stomach,
I locate the Inverter, radio back, and you pull me out.
Right.
What could possibly go wrong?
-Zane! -Oh, no!
It ate him. It actually ate him.
Zane! Zane, can you hear me?
Hang on, Zane!
Zane, come in!
Maybe the sand is blocking the signal.
Or he's being dissolved in stomach acid.
What do we do?
Revenge!
Oh, my.
Perhaps this wasn't a good idea.
This is crazy.
How long has he been in there?
Almost an hour.
We gotta pull him out.
Before it's too late!
What if he needs more time to find the Inverter?
Lloyd's right. We gotta stick to the plan.
-Wait for the signal.
Hello? Can anyone hear me?
Are you there?
-Zane! -He's alive! He's alive!
Quiet, everyone! Quiet!
Zane, we hear you.
What's your situation?
I have retrieved the Inverter.
That's great! Hang tight.
We'll get you out of there, Zane!
Okay, guys, let's reel him in!
Give it some gas!
Nice and easy!
It's working!
Keep going! Reel him in!
I'm trying, but Bernie's not making it easy!
Come on! Come on!
Just like reeling in a thousand-pound tuna!
There he is!
Look!
Come on. Open up!
We're gonna burn out the engine!
We're gonna lose him! Whoa!
-Cole!
He's too strong!
Hold on!
He's gonna pull us in!
Cole!
Look out! Here come the other two!
Got him!
Ninjago!
Ah, thank you, Nya. I love you.
Come on, Zane!
Zane, are you okay?
Say something!
Zane!
-I was so worried! -Nice!
Everyone ready?
Get us out of here.
Here they come!
Hold on, everyone!
Here it goes!
We made it!
-Yeah! -Good job!
Home free!
That was one doozy of a mirage.
