ANNOUNCER: Previously on Ninjago...
You gave me half your power source.
[***]
Sensei, what have they done to you?
Hi-ya! [GRUNTS]
Hiroshi's Labyrinth. All who enter are never found.
Okay, let's get lost.
[THE FOLD'S "WEEKEND WHIP" PLAYING]

What happened? No power.
That's what happened. Are we too late?
[ALL GASP]
[CROWD SHOUTING]
Outsiders must answer to the Postman!
Return to sender!
[ALL CHEERING]
Ah, you finally made it.
Don't mind the savages. Since power went out,
everyone here has grown a bit bored.
Their imagination knows no bounds.
Pixal. Amazing!
You're... powered.
You need to stay in character, Borg.
This is no fun if we're not all committed.
Oh, I'll have you committed if you don't all leave us at once.
Now shoo! [CROWD GRUMBLING]
We have real problems to address.
Pixal, what's powering you?
Zane gave me half of his heart.
Thank you, Zane. I am greatly indebted.
Unfortunately, the hard drive was stolen
with the digital imprint of the Overlord.
You'll be unable to erase him
with your Techno Blades until we find it.
Aw, don't worry, we already had a little run in
with the red-handed suspect.
Or should I say white-handed.
He left behind a white scale.
Get this, he's Serpentine.
Unh. Lucky for us, the last Serpentine were sealed
within a tomb right under the city,
so it's about time we pay them a little visit.
CYRUS: Approach with caution.
I've also lost a few valuable prototypes.
He may be armed and extremely dangerous.
We know, and just for the record,
When those prototypes are made available to the public,
could you let me know?
They're just the coolest gadgets.
Uh, Pixal, where are you going?
Now that my assistant has an unlimited power supply,
there's an infinite amount of good to be done.
As you wish, Mr. Borg.
Watch your step, Nya.
We don't know the last time this ladder was used.
That's thoughtful of you, Cole.
Hey! How about you watch where you're watching, Cole. Huh?
NYA: Aah! Aah!
Uh, guys? A little help?
Oh, is that a threat, Jay? 'Cause coming from you,
it sounds like some of your best material.
Ha, ha, ha! There's a reason nobody liked you.
NYA: Aah! Aah! Unh!
[SIGHS] My knights in shining armor.
BOTH: It was his fault.
Let's keep our eyes peeled.
Our mystery suspect could be anywhere down here.
[***]
Serpentine.
Never thought I'd see them again.
DIGITAL OVERLORD: We know where the Golden Ninja is,
so why are we doing nothing about it?
I must escape this wretched digital prison!
STRANGER: Patience.
The Golden Ninja won't go down without a fight,
and we've already depleted our Electro-Cobrai.
Before we take his Golden Power,
we need more power of our own.
Then find more.
Once I become physical again
and rid the scourge that is the Ninja,
I will walk Ninjago with the power to rule this world...
and beyond!
Don't worry.
I'm one step ahead of you.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[LLOYD SIGHS]
How anyone got through this jungle is beyond me.
Hiroshi's Labyrinth.
Legend says no one has ever escaped its deadly maze
except for Hiroshi himself.
But the maze is no match for your powers.
This is the perfect place to hide
from the Overlord's clutches.
Hide. That's all I ever seem to do.
Your Golden Power only strengthens his cause.
We must not lose sight.
But I miss my friends.
What good is being all powerful if I can't ever have any fun?
[SIGHS] The Golden Power needs to be protected, honored.
Evil forces will seek it, try to take it for their own.
It seduces.
Even your friends may one day covet it.
My friends would never hurt me.
He who holds the power has a tremendous obligation.
You must be prepared to handle this journey alone.
Even without me one day.
Yeah, I know.
Keep your chin up, son.
Legend also states there is a jewel inside the maze,
the most beautiful oasis no one has ever seen before.
Perhaps we will be the first.
[***]
KAI: Tomb of the Stone Army.
It's been sealed since the Serpentine were trapped here.
It appears the seal has been opened.
[SCALES WHISTLING]
Aah! Not you again!
Scales. Something told me you'd be behind this. Search his bag.
[SPEAKING WITH LISP] Aah! This is harassment.
I've done nothing wrong.
Except steal the hard drive.
Where is it? What are you hiding?
[GRUNTING] He's hiding...
groceries?
And the latest issue of Ninjago Times.
What can I say? I'm a sucker for the crossword.
Sorry, you've got the wrong snake.
Daddy? Are you okay?
Stay inside, Scales Jr.
Scales Jr.? You have a son?
We've been busy since you left us.
And we prefer to keep it that way.
Is this about the Golden Master?
Is he going to hurt us?
That is only a story, son.
They were just leaving.
Golden Master? Is this about Lloyd?
Like you, we have our own legends.
But I guess in ours, you are the bad guys.
What legend? They have a right to know.
If we're going to shed a new skin,
we must open our home to others.
[SIGHS] Oh, all right.
Let's go, surface dwellers.
If you'd like to hear of the Curse of the Golden Master,
follow me.
I don't like Serpentine,
but I don't like curses either.
If this has anything to do with Lloyd, we need to know.
[***]
We may not have power, but we still have sharks.
All right, everyone.
Stay together, stay together. Come on now.
Why do we have to do our field trip at the aquarium?
Can't we go to the toxic bogs
or anywhere else not so lame?
'Cause until your regular teachers
get back from saving the world, I'm in charge and I have
the responsibility of making sure nothing bad happens to you.
Now, single file.
[CHILDREN CHATTERING]
Did I ever tell you I am fluent in the language of the sea?
Right, Mr. Darreth.
That's Mr. Brown Ninja to you, Sally.
Oh! And I thought Mr. Darreth had a big mouth.
I heard that.
Ahem. Excuse me.
Which way to the Electro-Cobrai Exhibit?
I hear it's shocking.
[SIGHS] That way.
All right, all right, my precious minnows.
Come on. Follow me.
[CHILDREN CHATTERING]
All right!
Hey, you! Come here.
Whoa! Oh! Shocking.
Hm? Alarm!
GUARD: Alarm! Alarm!
SALLY: What is it?
The sound of danger.
Huddle near, child.
Hey, you're not one of my students.
No. No, I'm not.
[HIGH-PITCHED WHISTLE]
[ALL SCREAM]
DARRETH: Hold on, minnows!
Hold on!
[DARRETH STRUGGLES]
[***]
Help!
I've got you, Sally!
[CHILDREN YELLING]
Stay back, kids!
[SALLY SCREAMS]
[MAKES ANIMAL NOISES]
[CHILDREN CHEERING]
Thank you for saving me.
[DARRETH BREATHING HARD] You really can talk to them.
What did you say?
I told him leave the Brown Ninja alone,
or else I'd be serving fish sticks.
[***]
The heist is complete.
We now have enough power to go after the Golden Ninja.
Good.
[BOTH LAUGHING MANIACALLY]
SCALES: After a rather humbling scrap
with those indestructible Stone Warriors,
we've made amends with our warring past
and found ways to help better ourselves.
HYPNOBRAI: You're not thugs,
you give hugs.
VENOMARI: Try again.
"It will be our pleasure."
FANGPYRE [THICK ACCENT]: It will be...
our pleasure.
So you got a few snakes to go straight.
Doesn't mean there's not one bad apple.
Fangpyre have white scales, don't they?
A few. Is this about the missing hard drive?
This is about the Overlord.
Ah, the Overlord.
Glad we weren't around for that mess.
No, we have no desire to meddle in the affairs above.
As you can see, we stick to our own.
We only want what's best for the next generation.
Have a seat.
You could learn a thing or two about your beloved Golden Master
CHIEF: Hello, hatchlings...
and camouflaged land dwellers.
Do you seek to learn about the Curse of the Golden Master?
Tell me! Tell me!
[CHUCKLES]
Then everyone come closer.
CHIEF: When the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago,
deep in the ground, he created the Serpentine.
Since the first dawn,
our elders knew of the Curse of the Golden Master,
when he who had the powers equal
to the First Spinjitzu Master
would rise and usher in the last of the setting suns.
With no equal adversary, his power will go unmatched.
His destructive rule will change the face of the world,
and he will not stop until every man, woman and Serpentine
are enslaved under his control.
Is he referring to Lloyd?
The Serpentine tried to warn the land dwellers,
but they wouldn't listen.
They thought we were the enemy,
though we were only trying to prevent the prophecy
of The Golden Master's terrible reign.
After the Great Devourer failed to scare
the unbelievers below ground,
it is we who retreated beneath the soil,
promising never to return,
even now that the end is inevitable.
First patch into the mainframe...
Success!
Suppress bandwidth for wider connection...
We have power!
By glory's grace,
my office has clean, untouched by evil, power!
[KISSES] Thank you.
Now we can use this to track the Nindroid presence,
and they won't see us coming.
Sir, you created me and gave me life.
I belong to you.
Yet Zane...
saved my life.
When I was with him I felt...
a connection.
I felt...free.
Pixal, remember this:
You belong to no one.
If you want to be with Zane,
then you should be with him.
[BEEPING] What?
Nindroid power signatures.
But this is impossible.
It's says they're right here.
12 feet, 8 feet...
This makes no sense.
Unless they're beneath us.
[BEEPING]
[***]
I can't believe they think Lloyd could become the Golden Master.
Well, he is the son of Lord Garmadon.
What I want to know is, if none of them
took the hard drive, who else could it be?
We're under attack! Protect the young!
[ALL SCREAMING]
COLE: Nindroids!
Ugh! These toasters never know when to quit.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but...
protect the Serpentine!
ALL: Ninja, go!
If only I could use spinjitzu.
Without Pixal, my technique is barely adequate.
What evil have you brought here?
Sorry about that. We didn't know we were being followed.
[***]
[GRUNTING]
Junior? Junior?
Mommy! Aah!
[LAUGHS]
So you're the future of the fearless Serpentine?
[LAUGHS]
KAI: And you're about to be history.
[CRACKS NECK AND LAUGHS]
Let's get 'em, guys.
[LAUGHING]
[***]
[COLE YELLS] Hey, thanks.
[ALL GROAN]
Whew. Huh.
If we could figure out what powered them,
this would all be a whole lot easier.
[LAUGHS]
[ALL GASP]
[GROWLING]
Uh... Oh. Ha, ha!
Hey!
They're powered by some sort of eel thing inside their backs!
ALL: Ninja, go!
[***]
[GROWLS] [SCREAMS]
Heh.
[LAUGHS]
[GASPS]
Unh!
[CHEERING]
Huh?
[IN OVERLORD'S VOICE] Foolish Nindroid,
you are helping the wrong side.
The Overlord?
You'll never succeed.
Not if we have anything to say about it.
I already have.
[LAUGHS]
You've unknowingly led me straight to the Golden Ninja.
And this was merely a diversion to keep you busy.
[OVERLORD LAUGHS]
[GRUNTS]
The boy holds too much power.
I fear the curse of the Golden Master is upon us.
The dawn of the end of times is near.
We have to get to Lloyd before they do.
Are you sure you won't help us?
I'm sorry.
We made an oath never to return to the surface.
Good luck.
Oh, one more thing.
There's only one Serpentine whose had a history
of being so fond of using Electro-Cobrai.
ALL: Who?
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
GARMADON: The jewel of the Labyrinth.
It's...
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
Yes.
Beauty can be born even in darkness.
[SAWS BUZZING]
They've found you. You must leave! Go!
I said leave!
Why must we always be
on opposite sides, brother?
I made an oath not to fight,
but I'll still defeat you.
[***]
[PANTING]
No! Trust in the balance!
[ENGINE REVVING]
[***]
[BRAKES SCREECH]
[***]
Dad! Go, Lloyd!
And never look back!
OVERLORD: Leave, and your father falls.
[GRUNTING]
My power is gone.
[GASPS] Hello,
old chum.
Pythor? I thought you were...
Hmm. Gone?
Actually, I suffered a worse fate.
Digested in the bowels of the Devourer.
It can wreak havoc on one's complexion.
Fortunately for Wu,
he escaped unscathed.
OVERLORD: Finally, the Golden Ninja is mine.
Now the transformation can be complete.
I couldn't leave you. I can't do this alone.
I failed you, father.
It's okay, son.
It is I who failed--
He is no longer of importance to me.
Throw him overboard.
No! [SCREAMS]
Father!
[SOBBING]
[***]
[GASPING]
Be strong, son.
I will find you.
