"Riddle of the Sphinx."
[upbeat music]
Hah!
[grunting]
-[grunts]
-[groans, exhales]
How's that?
Your old man still...
still has some moves!
Real great, dad.
[chuckles]
But we're just sparring
for Master Wu's
little research project.
So don't hurt yourself, okay?
It's a valuable opportunity.
To study the effect
of elemental powers
on a former master.
But sparring
isn't what I had in mind.
Uh, Kai, would you kindly direct
a burst of fire at Ray?
Uh... what now?
[wails]
-[laughs]
-[Cole] Master Wu!
[pants]
What is it, Cole?
Nya and the others are back
at the island of the Keepers.
The Storm Amulet's
at the Explorer's club!
The Explorer's Club?
How is that possible?
Who would possibly be
foolish enough to do that?
I, Clutch Powers,
am proud to present to you,
the fabled Storm Amulet
of Wojira!
Which I am generously donating
to the Club's
permanent collection
along with these images
of the expedition.
[Shippleton clears throat]
Why are these slides
so... cartoonish?
What? Oh!
[laughs]
You mean why are they
detailed illustrations
instead of photographs?
That is due to the, uh...
loss of my camera,
which fell overboard
during our daring escape.
A reasonable explanation.
Continue.
Oh, now, this image depicts me
single-handedly conquering
a beast of the sea
while my fearful companions
were rendered helpless.
[clapping]
-Jolly good show!
-I dare say,
this sojourn might qualify you
for the coveted Explorer
of the Year award.
Explorer of the Year?
No. I'm not familiar
with the title.
Nor have I dreamed
about winning it
every single day
of my adult life.
But if you insist
on nominating me...
Something would have
to go dreadfully wrong
for us not to.
Kalmaar's right.
This is my fault.
Don't give up, Nya.
Zane will get
the controls fixed.
There's hope.
[Zane] There is no hope.
I have assessed the damage
and it is beyond repair.
Which means we're stranded.
Can you not use
your Elemental Powers
to summon the whales?
They could easily
pull this vessel behind them.
Summon whales?
No, I can't do that.
-But you are named Nya.
-Yeah?
The first Elemental Master
of Water. Nya.
Surely you know the tale of Nya?
I told you this.
Don't you remember?
When you were a little girl?
The story of Nya and the whales.
She rode upon their backs.
We named you after her.
But it's just
a children's story, Bentho.
It is true. Nya had helped
defeat the serpent Wojira.
She leapt
onto the serpent's head
with nothing
but a broken trident--
Benthomaar,
I can't summon whales.
I can only control water.
And right now, not even that.
She's right.
I was the Elemental Master
of Water before her,
I would know if something
like that was possible.
Have you ever tried?
Well, no.
Then how do you know?
[light music]
Oh.
Hi, guys.
What do I do now?
[Maya] Whatever you're doing,
it's working.
Try again!
Be careful not to call
any piranha or sharks.
Or blowfish, or fire sharks,
or glass snails.
[grandiose music playing]
[Ninja grunting]
Ah, Misako! You're alive.
What a pleasant surprise.
How may I help you?
We need to see Clutch Powers!
Certainly. Your membership card?
You know full well
you revoked it, Cecil.
Ah, yes, terribly sorry.
I shall immediately begin the
years-long reactivation process.
In the meantime, however,
I'm afraid I must deny entry.
This club is for members only.
This is an emergency!
Clutch Powers is in possession
of a dangerous artifact!
Sir, there are a good number
of very dangerous artifacts
-in this establishment.
-[dings]
Our collection
is filled with them.
You're okay with that?
The members
of the Explorer's Club
laugh in the face of danger.
Like so, ha-ha-ha!
Ho-ho-ho is also accepted.
It's true.
That was part of the test.
Might I recommend that
this charming conversation
would be most
comfortably continued...
outside?
-Look, you pencil-pushing--
-Cecil.
There is one way that
non-members can be permitted.
A Trial by Sphinx.
No one has invoked a Trial
by Sphinx for decades.
Not since the incident
with Lord Balgrave.
Ooh, a ghastly mess.
What happened to Lord Balgrave?
Consider it invoked.
Be the consequences
on your own head!
[tense music]
[Sphinx] Who will enter
my riddle?
Disgraced former members
may not participate.
The rest of you have a combined
total of three guesses.
If you fail, the results
will be... untidy.
What is happening here?
Good luck, son.
[grunts]
Ask your riddle!
Give me food and I will live,
give me water and I will die.
Who am I?
-Uh...
-I know! Cake!
[growls]
Cake?
Cake's usually the answer
to everything!
No, discipline is usually
the answer to everything.
Two guesses left.
Discipline.
[growls]
One guess left.
Food, live... water, die...
It's fire! Your fire!
Correct.
[scoffs]
A rather poor showing
on the Sphinx's part, eh?
You may pass.
And that's when I saved
the lives of the Ninja
and all the inhabitants
of the island,
who, of course,
insisted on crowning me their--
[door opens]
Oh, hey, guys!
[laughs]
I was just talking about you.
-Save it, Clutch!
-Where's the amulet!?
[giggling]
What amulet?
Give me the amulet
or be destroyed!
Oh, you mean this amulet!
[chuckles]
It's all yours!
[wails]
-Oh! A shameful display!
-No backbone!
You can forget
the Explorer of the Year award!
Nomination revoked!
-You, old man...
-[grunts]
...bring me that!
Come and get it.
[screeches]
[grunting]
Don't worry, I'll protect you.
Oh, what guff!
We're members
of the Explorer's Club,
we laugh in the face of danger!
Ha-ha-ha!
-Tally-ho!
-[swords rasping]
You'll rue the day
you Ruffians stormed our club!
Ho-ho-ho!
[grunts, groans]
You'll receive no quarter here!
Ha!
[yelling]
Not bad.
I don't know who you are,
but you'll regret this!
Oh, I am King Kalmaar.
I am your conqueror.
-[Kalmaar groans]
-Conquer that!
[grunts]
Your invasion
will be short-lived.
Once the rest
of our friends arrive,
-our combined forces will--
-[grunts]
Your friends
won't be coming back.
I made certain of that!
[both grunt]
[Jay] How's it going?
-Almost done?
-No, Jay!
There's just
a lot of little fish!
And they're too small
to pull the sub,
and we're stuck here,
and it's all my fault!
[screaming]
-It isn't your fault, Nya.
-How is it not my fault?
If I hadn't come along,
Calamari would have
never found this place,
-[gasps]
-the Amulet would still be safe,
-and...
-[Jay] Nya!
Look!
[gasps, giggles]
-Yes!
-[Jay] All right!
You did it, Nya! You did it!
I think you found our way
off this island!
Ninjago City, here we come!
