[mystical music playing]

I can't believe we're finally together, Jay.

The team wasn't the same without you, buddy.

[sentimental music playing]

Too bad you're a failure.

-What did you say? -I said, you are a failure.

I placed my faith in you for nothing.

You said you could capture Ras.

The only thing you've caught is feelings.

[tense music playing]

Face it, old man.

Even if you were once a Ninja,

you've fallen too far for them to ever take you back.

[gasping] Uh… uh… stay back!

You're one of us, Jay, not them.

Aah!

[thrilling music playing]

[gasping]

[gasping]

Meditation didn't go well?

[sighing]

Didn't find any answers, if that's what you're asking.

Just confusion.

You sure I did this all the time?

Seems boring.

[sighing]

You did. You didn't always like it, but meditation's part of being a Ninja.

It doesn't just hand you clear answers, but it can process bad thoughts

to make room for better ones.

Those weren't better thoughts, trust me.

[sighing]

Life without memories is like feeling around in the dark.

[Kai] Ugh, I can't meditate either.

It's like I can't hold a thought in this place.

I don't like it here. We should go.

We planned to stay 'til dawn, but the sun should be up by now,

and I don't want to wait any longer.

-We need to figure out how to get home. -I'll light the way.

[sputtering]

Dang it.

Keep forgetting our powers are on the fritz.

This situation just keeps getting better.

Ooh! [gasping] What the--?

Who needs powers?

I feel better already. [laughing awkwardly]

-Sarcasm. -Why is the ground all squishy?

[squelching]

What is that?

Is the sky… moving?

Not the sky,

those things!

[Lloyd] I'm sorry,

there must be some kind of misunderstanding.

I'm not a Protector of the Whispering Wood.

[telepathically] You are the Green Ninja of legend,

are you not, Lloyd, son of Garmadon?

I am, but I've never even heard of this place.

[roaring]

Do not lie to us. You must have felt the call…

but you ignored it.

The first Green Ninja to ever abandon their duties,

to neglect the wood from which mortal life itself originally sprang forth!

There have been other Green Ninja?

The prophecy never said anything about--

Of course there have been others,

and each one has performed the Ritual of Unrooting

to maintain the power of this wood, until you!

I didn't know any of this. I thought I'd reached my true potential!

You believe you only have one true potential?

That any of us do?

Hey, go easy! Lloyd protected this place as soon as he got here.

He saved these little guys from some weird monster dudes!

Too little, too late.

Without the Master of Life, the Whispering Wood has weakened,

its light dimmed.

I swear to you, I-I had no idea.

All the other Life Masters found their way here as soon as they came of age.

"Came of age"?

A stage of maturation for mortals.

The transition out of childhood.

Oh… that must be the reason.

When I was a kid,

there was an incident with Tomorrow's Tea,

and poof, I was instantly a teenager.

I guess I… never really came of age.

Did you know that? He skipped part of his childhood?

[quietly] No idea.

Gotta say, that's messed up.

I see. You say your aging was… unnatural.

We have been angry with you for so long, Life Master.

Truly, you could not have known what was needed of you.

We…

apologize.

I never imagined my rapid aging

would have consequences for anyone except me.

The day you were exposed to that tea

was the day our fate, and the fate of this wood,

was sealed.

Are you two done yet?

We gotta get back to the Monastery and figure out why my power's all wonky.

Our powers are acting weird too. You don't see us worrying about it.

[Wyldfyre] Yeah, but my powers are cool.

If shaking the dumb ground or building robot vacuums

was the only thing I could do… I wouldn't be bothered either.

Relax.

We've earned a vacation.

We just stopped an undead dragon.

Besides, how would we leave here even if we wanted to, Wyldfyre?

We haven't seen anyone else, we have no way to contact the other Ninja…

Other Ninja.

Oh, wow. I really hope everyone's okay.

We should probably head back.

-We just need to… -[bushes rustling]

[sniffing]

[growling]

[meowing]

[Sora] Cats?

-Yes! -[meowing]

No, I'm allergic! I'll swell up like a puffer fish!

-[meowing] -Or…

maybe my allergies are cured?

-This place is purr… fect! -[cats purring]

[Wyldfyre groans]

[creature snarling]

I got this! Not our first time facing flying creeps!

[Jay] Why you gotta keep rubbing it in? I don't remember anything!

[power shorting out]

-[Nya yelping] -[Jay] Nya!

[Jay struggles]

[mech suit creaking]

[grunting with effort]

[grunting with impact]

[Nya struggles]

[groaning and yelping]

Whoa! Aah!

-[creature snarling] -[screaming]

[creature snarling]

Aah!

[thrilling music playing]

-Whoa! -[creature splatting]

-[gasping] -Why is this cave so… wet?

-[snarling] -[gagging]

[groaning] I don't think it's a cave!

[ground rumbling]

[Kai] What is that?

An earthquake?

-Oh no. Grab onto something! -Grab something?

Do you know how slimy everything is?

[rumbling]

[rumble]

Whoa! Whoa…

[grunting with effort]

It smells horrible.

[grunting with effort]

Aah!

I can't believe I'm about to say these words, but,

I'm pretty sure we're in a Quealiche's stomach!

-What's Quealiche? -Enormous slug-like creatures

that burrow through the Land of Madness.

I was transferred to the Decontamination Chamber in the Administration,

and had to hose off agents unlucky enough to run into one.

I'd know this stench anywhere! [grunting]

You mean that gust of wind was a… belch?

Oh, gross.

How did the Monastery end up inside the belly of a giant slug

in the Land of Madness?

Bigger question, how do we get out?

Preferably before we get digested.

[Jay] Only two options, so I vote we find its mouth!

Grab on!

[tense music playing]

[creature snarling]

Oh! [chuckling] Thank you.

[serene music playing]

You're worried about Lloyd.

[Arin] All this new info about who he's supposed to be,

it's gotta be overwhelming. Like a nightmare

where you have a test you didn't study for.

I wish there was something I could do.

Arin, you're the only one without Elemental Powers.

-Thanks, Euphrasia. Rub it in. -I mean, it's an advantage.

You're the most dependable at the moment.

You've never had powers, and you don't need them.

Lloyd will rely on you now more than ever.

[Lloyd] This thing you needed me to do…?

The Rite of Unrooting.

It maintains the Wood.

Maintains?

All Realms are connected, even before the Merge.

Like water through roots, or bees spreading pollen,

Source Energy flows through unseen paths

across every land and all people.

To maintain the Whispering Wood is to cleanse those pathways,

to sustain the connection between all life.

Okay.

I'm late, but I'm here now.

How do I perform this rite?

I wish it were possible.

While the Rite teaches you the truth about the Green Ninja's Elemental Powers,

the time has passed.

One as old as you would never survive it.

Your roots have spread too deep and too wide

to change your current path.

It would teach me the truth about my powers?

I've never fully understood them.

I've been called the Master of Power, the Master of Energy.

Nothing ever really fit.

Sometimes I didn't really fit.

It is energy, but… what kind?

It doesn't burn like fire, or shock like lightning.

Would you name a flower from the shape of its seed?

Know the lean of a tree before it is planted?

The mystical nature of your sudden aging stunted your powers.

The potential has not fully blossomed.

Well, now it may never.

Something is wrong with all our Elemental Powers.

I am aware.

Some of the Source Dragons have withdrawn their connection to the Merged Lands.

That's why the powers of Elemental Masters are unreliable.

Wait… seriously?

Yes. Sadly, our own Source, Life,

is one of those who no longer nourishes the land,

and so, the decline of the Whispering Wood will soon quicken.

Our end is at hand.

But why would--

Oh, no. This is my fault!

I had my team summon the Arc Dragon of Focus.

I was warned it might anger them, but I had no choice.

Withdrawn Source energy, unbalanced elemental powers--

if only the rite had been performed,

the power of the Master of Life might have overcome all of this.

All my life, I've been pushed in so many directions…

prophecies, destiny, visions.

I can't always tell what I'm choosing to do

or what fate is forcing me to do,

but if there's even a chance

to stabilize Source Energy while saving this wood,

then I choose to take that risk.

[Kai] It's not smelling any better.

[Nya grunts with effort]

[Kai] Are we sure this is the way to the mouth?

-We're not gonna make it! -Yes, we are.

Nya, flood the stomach. Kai, turn up the heat.

A little heartburn is just what the doctor ordered.

[Nya grunts] H'yah!

[creatures screeching]

[Kai grunting with effort]

Oh, man, not now.

I was hoping it wouldn't come to this.

-[beeping] -Goodbye, my friend.

Which one of us is he talking to?

-Ah! -[gasping]

[countdown timer beeping]

[countdown beeping accelerating]

[explosion]

Sorry. I know you loved that thing.

[sighs] Guess I love living more.

[deep rumbling]

-[gurgling belch] -[Jay] It worked!

Get ready for it.

[Kai] Get ready for what? Get ready for what?

[all screaming]

[dragons snoring]

[ground rumbling]

[rumbling]

[explosive roaring]

[gurgling and bellowing]

[vomiting]

[screaming]

-[grunting with impact] -[Nya gasps] Ew!

-I can't believe that worked! -[Kai groans]

I forgot how messy hanging out with you could be, Jay.

[Jay] Don't anyone celebrate too soon.

[Kai] These aren't the same dragons, are they?

They are, and they're not happy we woke them up.

[roaring]

How am I supposed to guide us out when it's dawn in every direction?

[Sora] Maybe we don't leave.

Where'd those cats come from?

Why does that matter? Can't you just enjoy something for once?

[gasping in delight]

Pie!

[munching]

Hmm. They're a little cold.

Huh…

That wasn't there a second ago, but I'm glad it's here now!

You guys don't think it's strange

your favorite thing is pies, and then there's pies?

And your favorite thing is cats,

and then there's cats?

[Riyu grumbles]

[cats meowing]

-[Sora] No. -[Frak] No.

Ah! Pies are not supposed to grow on bushes!

Wyldmelons can't grow outside the Wyldness!

This place is full of trickery!

[panting angrily]

[sniffing]

[grumbling curiously]

[sniffing]

[grumbling]

You got a scent?

-[grumbling language] -An unusual scent?

-Maybe it's a way out of here. -Whoa!

-Let's go. -[Sora groans in disappointment]

-[cats meowing] -Oh…

[cats meowing]

[Jay] Even in the middle of nowhere, you two have enemies?

[grunting in combat]

[Jay] Why do I hang out with you people?

-[dragons grunting] -[suit damage alert beeping]

[heroic music playing]

[countdown timer beeping]

[Kai] Buddy, you're running out of things to blow up.

[countdown timer accelerating]

Whoa!

Come on!

Wait!

[dragons snarling]

[Jay gasps]

I can't do Spinjitzu! I can't do Spinjitzu!

[panicked voice echoing]

[gasping]

[roaring]

[dragon squeaking]

[dragon roaring]

[Jay] I'm fine!

-[Kai] Over-under! -[Jay] What-what?

[roaring]

-[Kai] It's what it sounds like. -[Jay yelping, dragon roaring]

[Kai] H'yah! H'up!

-[dragon roaring] -H'yah!

-[Nya] What now? -[Kai] You could try apologizing.

[Nya] Me?

They literally chased you!

Let's use their anger against them.

[Nya] Hey, dirt-eater!

I've seen bigger horns on a tricycle!

[Kai] Earth Dragon?

More like Barf Dragon!

-[roaring] -[grunting with effort]

[roaring]

[laughing] Man, that felt good!

Working like that jog any memories, Jay?

No! You two share a look and know what the other's thinking.

I can't even remember how to do Spinjitzu, which seems like the bare minimum

to call yourself a Ninja.

Even that kid with no powers can do it.

That's what training's for. Even we have to train.

-There's always room to grow. -[sighing] You don't get it.

I hated working for the Administration.

I lost in the Tournament of Sources.

I was only a pretty good bounty hunter.

So?

So? No more failures.

If I'm gonna be a Ninja, I need to be a great one.

It's another reason I need to remember my forgotten memories.

I don't know how,

I don't know if it's even possible, but I have to.

We'll help you.

Whoa…

[Wyldfyre] What is this thing?

[Sora] Actually… I have no idea.

It's definitely not normal.

Well, in we go.

Whoa! I'm not jumping into some mystery black hole

-just cause you said so. -I agree with Frak.

There's no rush to leave this place.

-It has everything we need. -Yeah, which isn't normal.

It has to be a trap! It wants us to stay here forever!

No, that's a trap.

Totally. Now, where was that pie bush?

The pie bush is a trap, you clown-faces!

Don't you see what this place is doing to you?

[together] No.

[sighing] This is for your own good. [shrieking] Yaah!

-Whoa! -Wha…!

[Frak wails]

You're the one who's not in her right mind, Wyldfyre.

[Frak] You should really listen to us.

Hold on.

Take a deep breath and calm down.

You don't get to tell me to calm down!

[roaring]

[grunting in combat]

[groaning]

[grunting in combat]

-[roaring] -[grunting with effort]

Why are you smiling? We have you beat.

Aw… you two teamed up.

Cute,

but I always team up with dragons.

[roaring]

Ah!

[all wailing]

Deep within the Whispering Wood is the Temple of the Green Ninja.

Inside, you will be guided to perform the Rite of Unrooting.

The temple is hidden, even from the eyes and ears of the forest.

[Lloyd] Then… how will we find it?

If you are meant to, it will call to you,

but I must warn you again, the journey on which you are about to embark

will be treacherous.

That's not enough to stop me.

[somber music playing]

[screaming]

-[grunting with impact] -Ah!

Welcome to Umbrasilvis.

Wait a second…

pies don't grow on bushes!

And where did those cats come from?

[sighing] I… I don't know what came over us.

[sighing] There was something seriously off about that place.

Thanks for guiding us out.

I guess you do make a pretty good leader.

My dragon heritage probably made me immune

to whatever got into your heads. Riyu wasn't affected either.

I may have heroically gotten us out of there,

which some might say is the most heroic thing ever.

[sighing]

But where are we now?

[doors slamming]

-[Frak] Friendly place. -[Sora] Look, over there.

[exciting music playing]

Maybe we can hitch a ride back to Ninjago on that airship.

That's an Explorer's Club ship.

They're probably in the middle on an important expedition.

Too busy to help. Let's find another way home.

I'm sure this place has tons of public transportation options.

[slamming doors]

[adventurous music playing]

I, uh, think I dropped something back by the well.

Is everything okay?

[voice] Frak, is that you?

[muttering] Doesn't he look like--

[sighing awkwardly] Hi, Dad.

[closing theme music playing]
