COLE: My turn. Uh, it's my turn.
Oh, you want a little more? Take this.
KAI: Yeah? How about a little of this?
[THUDDING IN DISTANCE]
COLE: Monkey Paw to the head.
JAY: Ninja roll.
KAI: Dragon punch!
[NINJAS GRUNTING]
Ninja, go!
[***]
Huh?
Hey! What?
ZANE: Ninja, go!
[GRUNTS]
This roof isn't big enough for the four of us.
Correction. This roof isn't big enough for him.
It's like he's in his own world.
I bet he can't even hear us.
[ZANE GRUNTS]
Sensei, Zane's weird.
What is weird?
Someone who is different
or someone who is different than you?
No, sensei, he's "weird" weird.
[***]
Do you mind?
MAN [ON TV]: Goodbye, my darling.
[SOBBING]
[ZANE LAUGHING]
[YAWNS]
Aah! Holy bologna!
[SIGHS]
I'm sorry.
I consumed the last of the deli meat.
Cheese?
We like the guy, he's really smart.
He's just, uh, a little off sometimes.
Zane is a brother
and brothers are often different.
I should know.

[GONG CRASHES]
ALL: Mail!
[SIGHS]
Let's see, a letter from Jay's parents.
Hmm... Kai has a fan letter.
Oh, something from Cole's father.
What? No package?
I'm expecting something from Creatures, Beasts & Beyond.
Hmm, no, nothing from, uh...
Ah, here it is.
Ha! Rocky's gonna love this.
Hey, Zane, how come you never hear anything from your parents?
I don't remember my parents.
I've been an orphan all of my life.
You mean you've never had a home?
The monastery is your home now.
Liver and toads, Rocky. Your favorite.
[GROWLS]
Mm, mm!
I can't believe you hypnotized one of the ninja.
Does the general know?
Of course not.
He's been put under the control of Lloyd
and I plan to use it for my best interest.
Everyone works while you two slack?
As my second in command
I expect more from you, Scales.
Yes, general.
General, you know I am most loyal to you
but I must question this childish agenda.
The ninja have stolen our staff
yet you instruct your army
to make this playhouse for Lloyd?
Snakes don't belong in trees.
You know better than to question my judgment, Scales.
I'll pretend you didn't ask.
LLOYD: Hey!
If we plan to rule Ninjago from here
this elevator needs to have a trap door.
I want more booby traps!
As you wish, young Garmadon.
As you wish, general.
[***]
Mm. Oh, I love it when it's Zane's night to cook.
Hey, I didn't hear any complaints
about my duck chowder last night.
That's because it glued our mouths shut.
You really thought Jay was speechless
all throughout dinner?
Yeah. Please don't make that again.
Dinner is served.
[ALL LAUGH]
What's so funny?
Zane, you're wearing a...
Well, even I wouldn't wear that.
You laugh because I take steps to ensure
I am clean after cooking?
Ha-ha! No, we laugh
because you came out wearing that ridiculous outfit.
I guess we don't share the same sense of humor.
Well, how about this?
[ALL LAUGH]
How could you not find that funny?
[SCREAMS]
[WU & KAI LAUGH]
Now you are brothers.
[ALL LAUGHING AND CHATTERING]
NYA: He looked so cute in it.

[FALCON CRIES]

[NINJAS LAUGHING IN DISTANCE]

[PANTING]
[GASPS]
Hmm.
[***]
If I see one girl in here, I'm gonna go ballistic.
[FALCON CRIES]
Thank you, my mysterious friend.
[***]
[ALL PANTING]
I don't even think Zane knows where he's going.
Uh, tell us again how you stumbled upon
Lloyd's secret headquarters?
I followed a bird.
Why did you follow a bird?
Because it danced.
Oh. Okay. Was it a cuckoo bird?
[ALL LAUGH]
The bird.
Of course not. Everyone knows cuckoo birds
are not indigenous to these forests.
[ALL PANTING]
LLOYD: Watch it!
No, bigger!
Come on, we don't have all day.
It's not time for a lunch break.
Holy cannoli, Frosty was right.
Can't let that brat and snakes get a foothold in Ninjago.
We got to destroy that thing before it becomes operational.
Whoa. Are you sure?
It looks like a pretty cool tree house.
There's a ropes course. Oh, a tree swing.
Hey. Remember whose team you're on.
Alright, guys, what do we do?
It looks like the entire place
is being supported by those three trees.
Severe those ties and the whole thing will fall
like a house of cards.
But why would one make a house of cards?
Such construction would be careless.
Oh, brother.
Travel in shadows, boys.
[***]
[GRUNTS]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[WHIMPERS] ZANE: Got you.
[CHUCKLES]
It's almost finished.
Soon, my fortress will be complete.
You! Huh?
Hold up that sign for me.
[CHUCKLES]
[YELLS] Booby trap!
[SNAKE GRUNTING]
[GROANS]
[***]
Ninja, go!
[ALL SCREAMING]
Ninja, go!
[ALL SCREAMING]
I said no ninja. Attack!
Everyone, retreat!
[ALL YELLING]
Cole, wait till we're off the tree house
then cut the line.
You will obey my every command.
I will obey your every command.
Where's Cole?
This whole place is coming down.
[COLE GRUNTS]
No one goes anywhere, until you deal with me.
What's gotten into him?
He's under their control.
Yeah, well, he better snap out of it quick
because this whole place looks like it's about to go down.
LLOYD: Don't go.
We have to protect my tree house fortress.
Your tree house?
It's about time we did this.
Did what?
Aah! [SNAKES LAUGH]
Now to get the staff.
Okay, now come on.
Friends don't hit friends.
[GRUNTS]
Okay, uh, I'm gonna ignore that.
[GRUNTING]
What are we supposed to do?
If I use my sword, this place will flame up
faster than a tinderbox.
Isn't the antivenin in the Staff?
Yeah, but the staff is back at the monastery.
[GRUNTS]
Whoa! Unh!
ZANE: Jay, use your lightning.
Shock him out of his trance.
Oh, sorry, Cole
this is gonna hurt you a lot more than it's gonna hurt me.
[***]
[COLE GRUNTS]
[***]
[GROWLING]
[JAY SCREAMS] ZANE: Jay!
[GRUNTS THEN LAUGHS]
That is a serious safety hazard.
[GRUNTING]
KAI: No, Cole, don't!
No. No, Cole, no.
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ON FLUTE]
Huh? Unh. Huh?
Unh. Where--?
Where am I? What are we doing?
We're getting out of here 'cause this whole place is coming down.
[ALL GRUNT]
[NINJAS SIGH]
That flute. It cancels their powers.
It's as old as the Serpentine themselves.
But we must hurry. The monastery's unguarded.
Quickly.
We're too late. Those snakes.
[GROWLING]
Rocky.
[DRAGONS GROWLING]
Our home.
Shard, put this out.
The training equipment, gone.
Our video games, gone.
They stole their staff back.
What do we do now?
[ROCKY SIGHS]
If you hadn't followed that silly bird
none of this would've happened.
Kai.
No. Sensei, he's right.
Because of you, my high score has been deleted.
This is a teaching moment.
We must learn from this.
A teaching moment? What's wrong with you?
Don't you get it? Everything is gone!
WU: Enough!
We are all at fault.
Zane is your brother.
Apologize at once.
[COLE SIGHS]
COLE: I'm sorry, Zane. I--
JAY: Zane?
[***]
[ALL CHATTERING]
Do something, general.
You're still under my command, right?
Enough! I am the general
you will return my staff at once.
No.
[ALL GASP]
You dare challenge my command?
ALL [CHANTING]: Slither Pit. Slither Pit.
I guess we will have to fight for it.
In the Slither Pit.
[ALL CHEERING]
[***]
[SNAKES LAUGHING AND SHOUTING]
Winner gets the staff and leads the tribe.
You know the rules: There are none.
But in the Slither Pit, whatever I say goes.
Alright, fight.
[SNAKES CHEERING AND SHOUTING]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Two weapons.
[ALL SHOUTING]
[ALL GASP]
[RUMBLING]
[GASPS THEN GRUNTS]
Sidewinder.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[LLOYD GRUNTS]
Go, general. Go!
[RATTLING]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Huh?
Aah! [GRUNTS]
He used fang quando.
Uh, get up. Get up.
[GROANS]
We have a winner.
[ALL CHEERING]
[GASPS]
[LAUGHS]
ALL [CHANTING]: Scales! Scales!
Scales! Scales! Scales!
You will be loyal to me now.
I will do as you command.
You, leave and never return.
[GASPS]
Uh, what are we eating again?
Ugh. Mud newt.
Not bad for something that lives underground.
What? Aah! Ugh!
Yeah, a new high score.
Remember, we must be thankful for what we still have.
What do we have? Our home is gone.
You know, I don't miss our home
what I really miss is Zane.
Yeah. I miss Zane.
Zane? Yeah, Zane.
You know, white ninja? The smart, strange one?
No! Zane!
ALL: Zane!
Oh, Zane. We're so sorry for everything we said.
We're a team, and that means we're all responsible.
You don't need to apologize to me.
But what about all those awful things we said?
Isn't that why you left?
Of course not.
I saw the falcon again and I followed him.
That's our Zane.
We're happy to have you back.
Why? Is it my turn to make dinner?
[ALL LAUGH]
Yes, Zane.
We would love for you to make dinner.
But I already made it.
Come, I want to show you what I found.
I think you will all be pleased.
[***]
I can't explain it
but I feel a strange connection with the falcon.
I think he's trying to help show us
the path we need to take.
[***]
Our new home.
[ALL GASP]
WU: My Goodness. COLE: Oh, so cool.
Do I smell pie?
Cobbler berry.
Oh, and I made myrtle berry, and apple, and--
Ha! Mm.
[SNIFFS]
[ALL CHEERING]
I am proud of you, Zane.
One day, I promise, we will find your family.
ZANE: But I've already found them.
I feel there's more to you than meets the eye.
There's something special about you, Zane.
Sensei, will I become the Green Ninja?
It's too early to tell.
But if it's in your path, you will know.
Come now, it would be a shame to let them eat all that pie.
