[male narrator] Previously on "Ninjago.."
[Ultra Violet] What a beautiful night for a little mayhem.
[Lloyd] The whole palace is rigged to explode.
[Cole] We've to get the royal family
out of here.
[Nya] I'm sorry, but they didn't make it.
We'll find the people responsible for this.

[seagulls squawking]
Is this where we'll be living?
Just until we know you're safe.
Don't you have a headquarters?
It's too in the open.
The Sons of Garmadon will be looking for you.
We'll need to keep movin'.
So, Harumi, looks like we're gonna be roomies for a while.
You have all been so gracious to take me in
since our palace was, uh, taken away.
- 'And--' - You're safe with us.
Uh, that assumption is not entirely justified, Jay.
We know very little about the Sons of Garmadon's
full capabilities.
We know nothing about them. Period.
We do know they're after the three Oni masks.
Unfortunately, they already have two of them.
P.I.X.A.L. scanned everywhere for the third mask
but it came up empty.
It's as if it never existed.
Then we need to focus on who's giving the orders.
A group this organized must have a leader.
Maybe someone from our past?
Uh, forgive me, but is that underwear?
[chuckles] So, uh, we're usually more organized.
[clears throat] But our leader got lost in a time stream.
- Uh, they're Cole's. - They're blue.
[chuckles] You're lucky they're not yellow.
[chuckles]
What about the suspect captured
at the heist in Borg Tower?
I can stay behind with Harumi
if you wanna press him on who he works for.
[P.I.X.A.L.] 'The police have him in custody'
'but he has refused to talk.'
'He's set for release today.'
Then if Johnny Law can't get him to talk
perhaps Johnny Ninja can?
Uh, I thought we were in a hurry to get to the police.
[Lloyd] A quick stop. If the perp won't talk
maybe we can get something to loosen his lips.
Mistake's Tea Shop.
I wonder what magical tea she can brew up for us.
- Is Mistake here? - Never heard of her.
Oh, apologies, young Lloyd Garmadon.
I didn't recognize your voice.
Oh, it's so good to see you again.
It's been years.
Hello, Mistake.
I'm sorry to hear about Master Wu.
He was a dear friend.
Was? We haven't given up on him.
We just have more urgent problems.
- We seek-- - The Tea of Truth!
- Oh, she's good. - But be forewarned.
The truth can be dangerous.
She's also creepy.
Apart for the course in a mystical tea shop, Jay.
I'll have a look in the back to see if I have any.
But don't touch anything!
Like I said, creepy.
Mistake, wait. That painting.
Hm? Oh, yes.
The Oni and the Dragon.
But you are not ready for that tale.
Please. We need to know.
It is a long tale. Do you have the time?
We only have time for a quick stop.
Cole and Zane, go to the police with the Tea of Truth
and find out who's giving the orders.
Jay and I will stay here to learn more.
Come, my child.
To know the tale, you must drink the tea.
- Ugh, I'm innocent! - Tell it to the judge.
I am the judge!
This cup contains the Tea of Truth.
This other one is for you.
Ha! Nothin' like good old-fashioned detective work.
- I know my way, coppers! - Stop him!
[grunts]
No!
crack
[screaming]
[gasping]
That didn't go the way I pictured.
[laughs] I didn't even spill a drop.
- Are you ready? - Uh, uh, of course.
[Cole] 'Uh..'
Who turned off the heat?
Ninja. Hmph.
- What do you two want? - Luke Cunningham.
Otherwise known as the Man in the White Mask.
We would like some information
regarding who you work for, Luke.
Well, I'd like a pepperoni pizza and some chocolate ice cream
but it ain't gonna happen.
We don't have that
but we do have a cup of hot tea that could warm you up.
I ain't thirsty.
Mm-mm. It really warms me up.
Sometimes a cup of hot tea just hits the spot.
- Mmm. - Like I said, I ain't talkin'.
- Drink it! - No!
Well, don't you get it?
If you don't drink the Tea of Truth
we won't get answers.. Oh!
Whoa.
You're trying to trick me?
Cole, I think you drank the wrong cup.
I see that now, but in full disclosure
I'm trying my best to look like I didn't.
- Ah, it's not working, is it? - Ha. So you can't lie, huh?
Oh. Oh, you pee in the swimming pool?
Of course, who doesn't? Oh!
[chuckles] Where are you hiding the princess?
Oh, the Destiny's Bounty in a cove of Hollow's Bluff.
But tomorrow we'll be at the village of Stiix.
You're giving away all our secrets.
I can't lie!
What sort of power does the Green Ninja have?
Oh, it's some kind of energy or green light, I don't know.
Like, all our elemental powers rolled into one.
Who can say? Come on, Zane. Knock me out! Do something!
[laughs] Wait till the the gang at Laughy's hears about this.
Laughy's? You mean the karaoke club on the south side?
[laughing] Oh.
Ha-ha! Who's the sucker now?
Good thing I didn't tell him about my fear of singing.
Oh. Zane, can we, please, get out of here?
Ah. Thank you for the tea.
You were right. It really calmed my nerves.
[sighs] I feel so..
...warm and fuzzy.
Good. Then the Tea of Enlightenment is working.
It will help you see the tale.
The original tale.
The tale of the Oni and the Dragon.
[gasps] You lied? Mistake, why would you do that?
- I thought we were friends. - What are we supposed to see?
See the beginning.
[instrumental music]
[Mistake] Long before time had a name
there was the realm of the Oni and the Dragon.
roar
One of the 16 realms?
Not one of. The first.
The dragon had the power to create.
The Oni had the power to destroy.
Their war was never-ending.
But a child arrived born of both worlds.
The child understood the power of both.
Without one, you could not have the other.
But when the Oni and the Dragon fought
over which side the child should choose
the child abandoned their world
to start a new one called..
'...Ninjago.'
Are you telling me the child born from both worlds
is the first Spinjitzu master?
Hey, hey. You're related.
[gasps] That means you're part Oni and Dragon too.
Like I said, truth can be dangerous.
'After the first Spinjitzu master created Ninjago'
he fathered two sons of his own.
He thought he could escape the war.
He saw the evil of the Oni was waiting to be unleashed
in one of his sons, Lord Garmadon!
It was up to Master Wu
to control his brother's undying thirst to destroy.
- And with some help-- - Hey!
[laughs] That's us.
Have some more tea.
'Lord Garmadon was destroyed'
by the most powerful force of all
...the love of his own son.
But in his absence, a void was created
and in that void, a new darkness has arisen.
The Sons of Garmadon.
The three Oni Masks are relics from the first realm.
And they wield tremendous power.
The power to deceive. The power of vengeance.
The power to hate.
What happens when they're united?
You cannot let that happen.
Tell me. What happens when the three masks are united?
[intense music]
Resurrection.
They will have the power to bring back your father.
But it won't be the man you recognize.
There will be no light left in him.
[instrumental music]
[Nya] 'You can believe it.'
- That used to be Lord Garmadon. - Lloyd's father?
He made some mistakes, but he's made up for them.
I've heard so many stories of him.
Such anger. He hurt so many people.
How did he change?
Master Wu once told me
holding on to anger is like trying to throw a hot rock.
Only you get burned.
Lloyd helped his father...let go.
But all of that is behind us now.
- So I thought. - Lloyd, you're back.
Where is Zane and Cole? I need to see everyone.
Following a lead. Why? Is everything okay?
The Sons of Garmadon want to bring back
my father from the dead.
[both gasp]
[instrumental music]
[indistinct chatter]
[engine revving]
Our informant's intel has paid off.
Two high-ranking Sons of Garmadon just arrived.
The one they call Ultra Violet
and the mysterious man with the swords.
Good, then we're one step closer
to finding out who's in charge.
- Huh? - It's me, Zane. Cole.
Or should I say my alias, Rocky Dangerbuff.
If we wanna infiltrate their gang and gain their trust
they can't know we're Ninja.
I even scrounged up a disguise for you.
A tin trash lid and a can of shaving cream?
Don't forget. You have to sell it.
Mm, that won't be necessary.
beep
But if you wanna use the trash lid yourself..
No, Zane, it's okay.
But you still need a cover. Something tough.
Something that says I'm bad.
In my estimation, Rocky Dangerbuff is pretty bad.
Ugh, do I have to do everything?
Fine. You're...Snake Jaguar.
Snake Jaguar. Hmm.
You're always much better at this than I was.
You ready, Snake Jaguar?
I am, Rocky Dangerbuff.

Dareth, what are you doing here?
Cole? Cole. You came to visit me.
Oh, is my disguise so much worse than Zane's?
Zane? Is that you under there? You guys gotta help me.
I brought this stink hole hoping to hold on to the glory days
when I was fighting side by side with you guys.
Side by side? Really?
Only now the Sons of Garmadon have moved in
and made my place their dive.
I can't get them to leave. You've gotta help me.
We can't. We need to keep our cover
to get closer to those people.
[indistinct singing]
[whistles]
[screaming]
[all cheering]
You mean, Mr. E and Ultra Violet?
- Mr. E? - Mr. E?
Nobody talks to those two because he doesn't talk
and she's off her rocker.
If we can't talk to them
how are we supposed to gain their trust?
[man snarling]
I said where's my boba?
Sorry. Can't help. Gotta go.
Alright, Snake Jaguar
fire up those processors and tell me how we do this.
I've already ran countless simulations.
And out of the 1542 ways
this could go, there's only one.
But it's complicated a-and dangerous.
Then it's a good thing my last name is Dangerbuff.
Lay it on me. You have to sing.
[gasps] I can't sing.
What did I say earlier? There has to be another way.
You're the son of a royal blacksmith.
You went to the Marty Oppenheimer School
Of Performing Arts. You have to trust me.
What, what would Rocky do?
[intense music]
[feedback]
Hm.
I'm Rocky Dangerbuff
and here is something mean to sing.
whoosh
'Song number 159, pronto.'
[instrumental "Glow Worm"]
What? No, no, no. No. No, not this.
I wanted 159, "Creeping Death."

Ow!
Hey! He's one of those Ninja.
Grab him!

Help me, Zane. Where are you?
[groans]
Find this Zane
and grab him too.
Why isn't Zane helping him?
[P.I.X.A.L.] 'Zane has blocked all communication.'
This is our only lead.
We may never get a second chance.
Zane wanted us to trust him.
Zane is letting this happen.
I'm not waiting for the coach to put me in. I'm going.
P.I.X.A.L., watch over Harumi.
- 'My apologies, princess.' - I can handle myself.
I know how it feels, but Lloyd's right.
Our first order is to protect you.
