10x02 - Into the Breach

[bunniefuu]

NARRATOR:

Previously on Ninjago.

You said

something was coming.

GARMADON:

Darkness. Destruction!

The end of Ninjago!

COLE:

We're too late.

I think it was an Oni.

How do we stop it?

You can't. You need me.

LLOYD:

Open cell one.

[♪♪♪]

HARUMI:

Lloyd...

[NARRATOR READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]

JAY:

How far, Nya?

NYA:

We're going as fast as we can.

But this ship needs

some fine tuning for sure.

[BEEPING]

Hm.

[SCREAMS]

Am I the only one

freaking out about this?

Why freak out?

Our deranged,

psychotic arch-nemesis

is now our house guest.

I find the term "freak out"

inadequate and imprecise.

I prefer to say

I am "deeply troubled."

Lloyd, are you sure

he can be trusted?

No. Of course not.

"Of course not"?

That's not what you're

supposed to say!

You're supposed

to say yes!

What choice do we have?

If Master Wu is right,

and we're under att*ck

by the Oni,

then my father

may be our best chance.

And anyway, he doesn't have

his powers back.

So how much trouble

can he really cause?

Did he just turn off the...?

COLE:

Oh, great!

[ALL SCREAMING]

[♪♪♪]

He shut off the engines!

We're gonna crash!

Zane, the ignition switch!

Hit the ignition switch!

[YELLS]

[GRUNTS]

[BEEPING]

Aah! I can see the ground!

It's getting really close,

really fast!

[GRUNTING]

[SIGHS]

Hmm. That button

should be labeled.

Hmpf! It is labeled!

It says, "Don't push

while in motion."

Perhaps it would be wise

to accompany your father, Lloyd.

To prevent further...

mishaps.

Argh! I can't believe

I have to babysit my own father!

[♪♪♪]

Where does this go?

Nowhere. That's a closet.

[SIGHS]

And this one?

LLOYD:

That's our sleeping quarters.

This is where you sleep?

In this tiny...compartment?

It's not a "compartment."

It's a cabin.

We're on a ship,

remember?

And what are these?

Just pictures.

GARMADON:

Do they celebrate some conquest?

Or victory?

No. They're just pictures.

You know...memories?

Good times?

Hmm. Who is that?

That's you.

Don't you remember?

Hm...

[GRUNTS]

Ah.

Hey!

Sentimentality is a weakness.

If you wish

to defeat the Oni,

you would do well

to banish such feelings.

Fine! I didn't like

that picture anyway!

So? Did you

pop the question yet?

No. I'm waiting

for the right time.

There may not be

a right time, Jay.

You gotta just do it.

Do what?

Jay's going to ask Nya

to be his yang.

What? Seriously?

That's great!

Why am I always the last person

to know these things?

Shh! Will you keep your voice

down, please?

He's been planning it

for weeks.

Weeks? Ha, ha!

You gotta just do it, Jay!

It's like ripping off

an old bandage.

The sooner you get it over with,

the better.

Um. Did you just compare

Nya to an old bandage?

Nice.

Way to go, Cole.

Way to take the romance

out of it.

ZANE:

All hands to the bridge.

[♪♪♪]

[CLEARS THROAT]

The Oni entered this realm

through a portal or rift

between our world and theirs.

There are only one or two ways

this is possible,

and I'm willing to wager,

it would have been through

the Realm Crystal.

To stop this darkness

from spreading,

the crystal must be destroyed.

[CLACKING, BEEPING]

The Realm Crystal

is currently housed

in the new high-security vault

below Borg Tower.

That's smack in the middle

of Ninjago City!

Um, we just escaped from there,

remember?

It's engulfed in a giant black

cloud of destruction!

Now you're asking us

to turn around and go back?

I ask nothing.

I am telling you that if you

wish to stop the darkness,

the crystal

must be destroyed.

And I'm telling you,

forget it.

Just one of those black cloud

tentacle things

touched my foot for a second

and nearly froze me solid.

We wouldn't last a minute

inside the darkness.

That is correct.

You are merely human.

I, however, am Oni.

I can enter the darkness,

make my way to the crystal

and destroy it.

I will, of course,

require a w*apon.

Hah! Fat chance.

Do you really expect us

to just hand you

a sword and let you go?

If you wish to live, yes.

Well, forget it! No way!

I wouldn't trust you with a...

a...a...

A pillow?

It's the most harmless thing

I could think of.

It's not going to happen!

You're not going anywhere.

Not without me. I'm your son,

remember? I'm Oni too.

No, you are part Oni.

That means you might survive.

Well,

I guess we'll find out.

[♪♪♪]

JAY:

Wow. Ha. Will ya look at that?

Yeah, pretty creepy, huh?

Yeah.

But also kind of beautiful

in a weird way, isn't it?

What are you talking about?

No, it's just creepy.

Oh, I just meant the colors

in the clouds...or not.

Never mind.

[GULPS]

It's times like these

you realize

what's really

important in life.

I guess.

So, ahem, er, Nya...?

Ha. I've been wanting

to ask you something

for a long while. Ha.

Okay.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Are you okay?

Yeah. Ahem. Yeah.

[GROWLS]

[SCREAMS]

What do you want?

Absolutely nothing.

That guy gives me the creeps!

[SIGHS]

What where you going to say?

Uh... It can wait.

[♪♪♪]

[BEEPS]

This will allow us to see

what's happening

inside the cloud.

You sure you want to do this,

Lloyd?

I'll be fine. Don't worry.

That assumption is unfounded.

You are mostly human.

That side of you is weak.

It's also stubborn. Let's go.

Give him a sword, Cole.

Hm.

Uh... Are you sure about that?

Hyah!

Look out!

[COLE SCREAMS]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Try that again...

Now that I'm ready!

[SIGHS]

That's better!

Okay.

What the heck was that?

Conflict fuels him...

He was powering up.

He did that

just to get his powers back?

I do not trust him.

Lloyd, are you sure you want

to go through with this?

[LLOYD SIGHS]

No...but I don't

really have a choice.

[♪♪♪]

Lloyd!

[GASPS]

The camera-feed!

Come on!

He opened his parachute.

What are those?

They look like...tentacles.

Argh! That's one of the things

that grabbed my foot.

Aah...

It was terrible.

[CHOKING, GASPING]

Oh, no!

We have to get him

out of there!

[GASPING]

Wait...

[PANTS AND SIGHS]

ZANE:

Look!

[SIGHS]

He's okay!

[ALL SIGH]

I... I'm okay...

Hm! That was foolish.

You are fortunate

to have survived.

Like you care.

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

Oh, no! Doctor Borg!

Can you hear me? Cyrus!

Oh, Pix...

[GASPS]

It's your father!

GARMADON:

He has fallen into darkness.

What does that mean?

Is he still alive?

Yes, but in a deep slumber.

Nothing you do will wake him.

Well, there has

to be something!

He's my friend.

Grab his legs.

What?

Grab his legs,

I'll get his arms.

If we can get him

back to the temple,

maybe Wu can give him

a potion or something...

Only the destruction of the

Realm Crystal can save him now.

Hey! Hey!

Ninja don't leave

friends behind!

First, I am not a ninja.

Second, I'm not a fool.

And third,

there are Oni out there,

and we won't have a chance

against them,

if we're dragging your friend

along like a human suitcase.

So you'd better decide.

Do you want to win?

Or cling to your foolish ideals

and perish?

If you can hear me, we're

going to fix this. I promise.

[♪♪♪]

Mayday, Mayday...

Anyone out there? Anyone?

[STATIC CRACKLING]

We're stuck

on the twenty-third floor

of the NGTV news building.

If anyone can hear me,

please respond.

Anyone...?

Anyone at all?

Vinny, are you still messing

with that radio?

We've got a broadcast

in minutes.

Uh, boss...I don't think

anyone else is out there.

I think we might be the last

people in the whole city.

The news never sleeps, Vinny.

Come on.

You're right, Miss Gossip.

Be right there.

If anyone is out there...

If anyone can hear me...

Vinny Folson of NGTV news.

Come in. We hear you. Come in!

VINNY:

Signing off.

What was that?

I believe it was

a distress call.

But we have lost the audio.

Can you trace the signal?

I will attempt

to triangulate the source.

[CLACKING, BEEPING]

There.

Several miles east of us.

It appears to be

a television station

in the outskirts

of Ninjago City.

Maybe some people who didn't

evacuate in time.

We gotta help them!

What about Lloyd?

We can't just abandon him.

If someone's in trouble,

Lloyd would be the first person

to tell us to help.

That may be.

But Lloyd would be incorrect.

There is literally

nothing more imperative

than the success

of his mission.

If he fails,

all of Ninjago is lost.

Perhaps...

Perhaps there is a way

to be in more places than one.

I can remain behind

in the Samurai X mech

while you take the Bounty and

investigate the distress call.

What if you run out of fuel?

That would not be good.

Let us hope you are back

before that happens.

We will be back.

[♪♪♪]

She'll be okay.

[GASPS]

Uh-oh.

[CHUCKLES]

Oni...

LLOYD: What do we do?

Maybe we can sneak around

behind them?

Or find a manhole

or something?

I have a plan. Follow me.

GARMADON:

Err... Greetings, brother Oni!

How are you?

Love what you've done

with the place...

[♪♪♪]

Now!

[ROARING]

Aah!

Aah!

You... You saved my life!

[SNORTS]

Again, your sentiment clouds

your judgment.

The Realm Crystal

is all that matters.

Two of us stand a better chance

of victory than one.

Fine! I don't care either!

We work together

until this is done,

and then you go back

to your jail cell!

What?

What "what"?

Why are you smiling

like that?

Maybe I'm happy.

That's not a "happy" smile,

that's an evil

"I've-got-something-

up-my-sleeve" smile.

Really? How's this?

That's exactly the same.

No, it isn't.

Yes, it is!

No, it isn't!

[GASPING]

Shall we continue?

[♪♪♪]

Ah-ah-ah.

Power before youth.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTS]

GARMADON:

Follow the darkness.

ZANE:

He must be nearing the source

of the darkness.

The Realm Crystal seems to be

interfering with the signal.

This is it.

[VOICES WHISPERING

INDISTINCTLY]

There it is! Destroy it!

Quick!

He cannot hear you.

Hm.

[GRUNTS]

[SCREAMS]

[CHANTING INDISTINCTLY]

What is that?

Whatever it is, it's about

to experience my full wrath!

[ROARS]

[SCREAMS]

[BOTH GASP]

[GROANS]

Zane! How do I

get the signal back?

The signal is lost,

Kai.

[WEAKLY]

Who are you?

I am the Omega.

The Destructor.

The Bringer of Doom.

Are you the protectors

of this realm?

Yes. I am.

And you?

Usually, no...

but, well...today, yes.

You are...an Oni?

Yet you fight to preserve

this realm? Why?

[SIGHS]

If anyone is going to destroy

Ninjago, it'll be me.

Not some Oni usurper

with a walking stick.

Then perish with them!
