I can't teach him to control his power.
Argh!
[NINJA SCREAM]
COLE: The reins! Let go of the reins!
GARMADON: Tomorrow is a new day, Ninja.
I will find new ways to finish you.

[WU READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]
[GROANS]
WU: Focus.
In order to bear the fate of Ninjago on your shoulders...
you must first learn to bear the weight of all of us.
[WU SLURPS]
Focus.
Uh, Sensei,
I'm starting to think this was a bad idea.
Yeah, Sensei, he's just a kid.
In order for him to succeed,
we must all trust one another.
[GROANS]
[NINJA SCREAM]
COLE: What was that?
CONTRACTOR: Huh?
Whoa, whoa!
This wasn't supposed to happen until tomorrow!
Tomorrow? Let me see that order.
Oh, yeah, my bad.
Sorry 'bout that, we'll be back in the morning.
[GROANS]
Uh, Darreth, what is this all about?
Well, I fell behind on some of my payments,
and some developer named Darnagom Enterprises
is buying the entire block
to put in some stupid frisbee golf course.
They say if I don't come up with 50,000 by tomorrow,
the dojo is gone.
We already lost the Bounty. We can't lose the dojo now!
My trophies. All my fake trophies.
ZANE: Wait a minute. Darnagom.
When you rearrange the letters, it spells...
O Grandma? No! Garmadon!
Right, that would make more sense.
My dad is behind this?
If he destroys the dojo, where will we train Lloyd?
Any chance you got 50,000 in that teapot of yours?
Worry not, Darreth.
You are not in this alone. We're all with you.
Did somebody say 50,000?
You didn't happen to win the lottery?
No, but I heard about Ninjaball Run.
ALL: Ninjaball Run?
It's the biggest road race in Ninjago,
with a prize of 100,000 big ones.
And it's tomorrow!
Thank you, little lady fighter,
but you're talking about the most dangerous race
known to man.
Only the most serious of racers even stand a chance.
But didn't you do upgrades on our Ultra Sonic Radar?
Maybe we might stand a chance.
And I can enter with my Dragon.
You did say I needed the practice.
So it is agreed.
You will all enter this Ninjaball Run
to save the dojo.
[SOBBING] Are you still crying?
Yes...
but these are happy tears.
[**]
Welcome everyone to the 14th Annual Ninjaball Run.
The grand prix where it doesn't matter how you get there,
as long as you get there first.
Well, let's take a look at the racers.
I see the starters' line. We have a few familiar faces.
Argh! Watch it, you big oaf!
You look nervous, Lloyd. You okay?
Nervous? Ha, ha, ha.
Maybe for you guys.
NYA: Now, one final thing.
I installed a pretty cool upgrade.
So if you're ever in a really tight spot,
pull that lever, because what it does...
[ENGINE ROARS]
What?
[MUFFLED] Pull that lever, because...
All right, the race is about to start,
and officials are saying...
...only under those circumstances,
and no other, should you... We're about to begin.
That's my cue, gotta go. Good luck!
Wait! Nya! We couldn't hear you!
[ROYAL BLACKSMITHS HUMMING]
Look, it's my dad! They've entered too?
[ROYAL BLACKSMITHS HUMMING]
Oh, no.
Jay! Jay!
Oh, look, he sees us, Ed.
I see him, Edna. You don't have to embarrass the boy.
Is there anyone we don't have to compete against?
[NUCKAL AND KRUNCHA LAUGH] [NINJA SIGH]
Wait a minute. Some Skeletons have crashed the party.
Is this against the rules? Rules? Ha!
There's only one rule in Ninjaball Run,
and that's cross the finish line first.
Let's take a look at the course.
The first thrilling leg
starts on the streets of Ninjago City
and empties out into the treacherous Sea of Sand.
Racers, look out for the dangerous straightaway
known as Crashcourse Canyon,
where the slightest mistake can be your last.
The next two legs of the race take us into the winding maze
known as the Birchwood Forest,
then through the perilous and icy Glacier Barrens.
Finally, in the fourth and final leg,
racers must beat the desert heat in the Badlands,
which then takes us back to the finish line
here in the heart of Ninjago City.
I don't know, guys, if we're going to save the dojo,
we're gonna have to beat some pretty stiff competition.
One final word, let's have a good clean race.
[GENE LAUGHS]
So good luck to everyone.
[GROANS]
ANNOUNCER: On your mark.
Get set.
Ninjaball...go!
Come on, boy! Whoa, whoa!
What happened? We've been sabotaged.
[ROYAL BLACKSMITHS HUMMING]
[PIRATES GRUNT ANGRILY]
LLOYD: Whoa! No!
Wrong way! Oh, we're going the wrong way!
[EVIL LAUGHTER]
It's about time.
Let's get outta here.
[SIRENS BLARING]
What in the world is going on?
ANNOUNCER: Oh, things just got interesting.
It seems some new competitors have entered the race.
Meanwhile the Ninja remain at the starter's line
in dead last.
Oh, great! We're already out of the race.
We can't quit now,
not with everything that's on the line.
Help me lift this thing.
[ALL GRUNTING]
So that's how this is going to go.
All right, boys, let's do this.
Now that the dojo will be destroyed,
we'll crush them before Lloyd ever becomes a true ninja.
We're here at the Fourteenth Annual Ninjaball Run,
where it looks like the Ninja are back in the race,
and now have a long shot
at winning this year's massive cash prize.
They're trying to save the dojo?
Will they ever quit?
Argh! Set sail for the race at once.
We can't let them win.
[**]
[SCREAMS]
Aah!
[LAUGHS] Huh?
Argh! Ohh!
Treachery, me lads! Let 'em have it!
Uh-oh! Argh!
Ouchy-mama!
Pirates are out of the race.
Why do I let you drive?
Arrgh!
ROYAL BLACKSMITHS: * So long, adieu
* You're wrecked and lookin' blue *
* So here's a song and here is a tune *
Avast ye scurvy knaves! I'll get you for this!
PARROT: Squawk! Left. No, your other left!
ONE-EYED PETE: Arghh! Uhh.
Ha, ha, ha! We're no longer in last!
Things are looking up.
COLE: Oh, no! Garmadon!
JAY: What?
Lord Garmadon, are you going to use the Mega-Weapon?
What's the point? Look at them.
They're trapped like rats.
Set all cannons to fire.
Now that they're in our sights,
they have nowhere to run.
JAY: Aah! We're sitting ducks!
There's nowhere to run!
And are those cannons?
I would not want to be in the ultrasonic radar right now.
Ugh, I can't watch.
But you, the fans, can! In glorious high-definition!
They can't get out of the way.
I can't bear to look.
Goodbye, Ninja.
[LAUGHS]
Oh! Aah! Out of the way!
[ALL SCREAM]
[NINJA CHEER]
KAI: Nice going, Lloyd!
Aah!
[SCREAMS THEN GRUNTS]
COLE: You saved us!
LLOYD: I did? I mean, I did!
Hey, what do you say we work together?
JAY: Yeah! I say let's show them what we Ninja are all about!
NINJA: Ninja, go!
They're getting away!
Uh, why don't you use your Mega-Weapon?
Because I can only use it once
before it saps all of my energy,
then who's going to slap you around to get this ship moving?
Ow! Get this ship moving!
Okay, you heard the evil lord! Full speed ahead.
GARMADON: Even in competition,
I will win this race.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Yeah! Wonderful!
Looks like our leaders are just about to enter
the second leg of the race...
into the Birchwood Forest.
[ROYAL BLACKSMITHS HUMMING]
* Too big, too big
* Too slow, too slow
* We had a lead But let it go *
COLE: Oh, man...
We'll never get through those trees to catch up.
I'll find a shortcut.
Up, boy!
Whoa! Ha, ha! You actually went up! Ha, ha.
Follow me!
Whoo-hoo!
Wow, ha, ha. He's getting the hang of it.
COLE: And it looks like we've made up the lost time.
Working together.
Not if we have anything to say about it.
[LLOYD SCREAMING]
[LLOYD GRUNTS]
[NUCKAL LAUGHS]
[CROWD GASPS]
Oh, a nasty crash.
More racers are out of the race. Hope they're okay.
Yeah, but if they're not,
stay tuned for the slow motion replay.
[BICKERING]
[GROANS]
You okay there, fella?
[GROANS]
We got them back in the race.
[SOBBING] Excuse us,
but you're all friends of the boy dragon rider,
aren't you? Tell us how you feel.
I feel terrible. This is all my fault.
The only reason he and the Ninja entered this race
was to help save my dojo.
If they don't win, developers are gonna tear it down,
leaving all my poor kids without a training center
to help enrich their tiny little lives.
CROWD: Aw...
Dojo! Dojo!
I don't know if you can feel it
up there in the booth, but down here it appears
the crowds have found their favored racer,
the Ninja!
Oh, oh, I feel it all right.
But they better buckle their seat belts,
because up next is the most dangerous part of the race--
the Glacier Barrens!
[BOTH GASP]
Hey, watch it!
I can't shake them!
They aren't interested in catching you.
Those coppers just want to win the race.
Argh! Aah! Uhh.
KAI: Finally! Nothing can stop us now.
ZANE: Oh, no! We've used up all our fuel!
We're not going to make it to the finish line.
JAY: Aw! I don't wanna say it, but I think our goose is cooked.
ED: You guys look like you could use a hand there.
We heard on the radio you're trying to save Darreth's dojo.
Oh, yeah, we're so proud of you, son.
Thanks, Mom! But we're out of gas!
Oh! Then take ours!
But how? If we stop, we'll lose the lead.
Then we'll just have to do this the hard way, son.
[**]
Take this end, son.
Uh-uh... Keep it steady!
[GRUNTS]
Here you go, son.
Ready, dad.
We're not fast enough.
We should be pulling away.
But we're up to maximum speed.
Then get rid of the excess weight.
What excess weight?
[SCREAMS]
I order you to slow the Ninja down!
COLE: We've got company, boys!
[CHUCKLES]
Unh! Scales?
Get off the windshield! I'm trying to win a race.
VENOMARI GENERAL: Aah!
Ninja, go!
Need some help, guys!
We've got your back. Ninja, go!
JAY: Ninja, go!
Look into my eyes, Ninja.
Ahh! That is so gross!
Hey, down here!
Now, Zane! Ninja, go!
[NINJA SCREAM]
[SCREAMS]
[ALL GASP] Not again!
I can't take this anymore.
[COLE GRUNTS]
Wait, stop!
[GROANS]
Oh, thank goodness you're okay.
Oh, we're fine, son.
Just wish I could say the same for the jalopy.
Yeah, shame she didn't get to the finish line.
[SIGHS]
I'll make sure a part of her will.
Let's go, we've got a dojo to save.
Go make us proud, son.
[**]
COLE: Looks like it's just us and Garmadon.
This time, let's make sure the good guys don't finish last.
[SINISTER LAUGH]
No! I hate those Ninja!
It's time.
You think you can beat me, Ninja?
This race is mine!
Hear me, Mega-Weapon. I wish to rip open Ninjago
and make an insurmountable obstacle
that they can never surpass!
Huh?
JAY: Argh! That's totally cheating!
Guys, it's impossible to cross that divide.
Ha, ha! I did it.
Did you see that? I win!
Their Dojo is doomed!
[GARMADON LAUGHS]
KAI: Aw, we're not going to win now.
Wait a minute. This ain't over.
Everybody, hang on!
Uh, you do know we're aiming straight for that cliff, right?
You sure that's a good idea?
I haven't had time to think it through.
What was it that Sensei said? You gotta have trust.
Yeah, in each other... not in miracles!
[SIGHS] Nya, don't fail us now!
All right. Now!
NINJA: Ninja, go!
[LAUGHS]
No! No!
[CROWD CHEERING]
He pulled the lever!
CROWD: Ninja! Ninja!
It looks like it's going to be a photo finish.
CROWD: Ninja! Ninja!
I won, I won!
Clearly I passed the finish line first.
ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!
The Ninja! The Ninja have won it!
Yeah! I knew it would bring us luck.
No! That's not fair!
That wasn't even a part of the vehicle in the first place.
It's not even street legal!
My ship was... LLOYD: Your ship?
I believe this belongs to us.
No! No! No!
All right, Garmadon, you're coming with us.
Look who needs who now?
Somehow, Sensei, I don't think that will be the last
we are gonna see of him.
We did it! We did it!
Whoo-hoo! We saved the dojo!
Look what I can do! Cannonball!
[NINJA LAUGH]
* Jump up, kick back Whip around and spin *
* Ninja, go
* Come on, come on, come on And do the weekend whip *
* Jump up, kick back Whip around and spin *
