-Report. -I believe I'm close.

I've been following a series of exotic readings that look promising.

I will be the judge of what is promising or not.

Keep me informed of any data you uncover. Report.

Nothing?

How about the rest of you?

Are you even trying?

Her return to glory is in our hands!

Do you understand that?

We cannot fail!

The Weapon of Desolation should be releasing massive amounts of energy

during each creation event… pulses so significant they have to be traceable.

So trace them!

You're out there making your little monsters,

and we will find you

so you can make them for us.

-[groaning] -[agent] What's this?

Your Mud Consumption Supplemental Permit has a smudge on the corner?

Hands on your head!

What's going on?

Where am I?

[groaning] Uh… actually, who am I?

Hey!

You people in suits, you must be official or something, right?

Sir, we are from the Administration.

I can honestly tell you we are literally as official as it is possible to be.

Indeed, "official" is our one defining trait.

[Jay] Uh, great.

Can you officially tell me who I am?

[agent] Unlikely.

Our field database only has files on important people,

and don't get your hopes up.

[scanner surging]

Can that be right?

[scanner surging]

Agent Jay Walker.

Jay Walker, Jay Walker.

Jay Walker.

Hey, this guy's… management!

Oh, uh… thanks?

Sorry we didn't recognize you. Can we get you anything else, sir?

If this is a test, I hope we passed.

I'm up for a promotion in a few decades,

so if you could put in a good word for me--

Jay, it's you!

Bro, I was so worried when you didn't show up

for the inter-departmental pickleball.

You… know me?

Know you? Stop kidding around, Jay.

You're only my best friend ever!

What are you doing out here, buddy? What's with these clothes?

Let's get you back to your department.

[Jay] This is where I woke up.

First place I ever remember being.

If coming here doesn't unlock memories, I don't know what will.

All of us who flew into the Merge woke up in weird places,

but we all kept our memories.

Why are you the only one with amnesia?

Maybe his brain was less stable begin with?

-Come on, Jay. -[Kai yelps]

Something here's gotta trigger your brain. Something!

Anything…

-Frak, that's your dad? -Indeed!

Frak does have the honor of being my offspring!

Sir Reginald Slitherbottom.

The pleasure is all yours.

And these are my esteemed colleagues in the Explorer's Club of Ninjago!

Johnny Courageous!

Rowan Rockspike!

Seafoam Green!

Last, and also least, Gweeg.

Ha! Just pulling your chain, Gweeg!

[grumbling]

Huh, your names are all surprisingly stupid.

-[all chuckling] -I like this one.

She's filled with vim! [chuckling] Good show!

[John] So, you're young Frak!

Your father has spoken of you!

-Have I? -[laughing] Remember?

That one time we hired that incompetent slug creature,

you jokingly referred to him as "Frak."

[sighing]

That I did, good sir.

Yeah, you do have a rather impressive memory. At times.

-Introduce me to your friends, son. -Oh, uh, Dad,

this is Sora, Wyldfyre, and Riyu.

They're Ninja, like me! I'm a Ninja now!

[gasping] A Ninja?

You don't say!

How exciting, but are there any real Ninja here with you?

Dad, we're all real Ninja and Elemental Masters. I--

Of course you are, but you do know what I mean.

The "classic" Ninja?

Who people have actually heard of… and like.

[grumbling]

The original Ninja aren't with us, but we do know all the Ninja,

and by the way, Master Lloyd, the Legendary Green Ninja,

told me I'm an excellent student.

I'm sure you're passable as a student,

because you had a brilliant teacher for a dad!

[Wyldfyre and Riyu growl]

Any chance you're heading back to Ninjago?

-We're in a of a hurry. -If you need a lift,

there's plenty of room on The Expanding Frontier…

that's our airship,

and if we run out of room, we'll just toss out Gweeg…

-preferably from 2,000 feet up! -[guffawing]

[grumbling]

Ah, just pulling your chain, Gweeg!

Seriously though, we'd be happy to take you all back to Ninjago.

-Great! -As soon as our expedition

comes to a successful conclusion!

How long will that take?

The Explorer's Club came to Umbrasilvis

following rumors of a deadly monster attacking the area.

The Club sent its strongest members, but they also sent Gweeg.

-[all laughing] -[Gweeg grumbling]

Why do you keep picking on that Gweeg guy?

Worry not!

Gweeg knows it's all in good jest! He likes it!

-This is bonding! -[grumbling]

So, you're here to protect the town from a monster?

Well, that's one way of putting it.

Our expedition is here to capture the monster

so that we can bring it back to Ninjago!

Why would you bring a deadly monster back to where you live?

To put it on display and charge admission as a Wonder of the Merged Lands of course!

That sounds dangerous.

No reason to be afraid, little lady,

or my name isn't Johnny Courageous!

Which it is!

I had it legally changed… pending!

Dad, something's going wrong with Elemental Powers.

We need to get back to the Monastery as soon as we can.

Undoubtedly!

And I'm sure the real Ninja are eager to see you again, Frak.

There are probably swords that need polishing, floors to sweep, and so forth.

Important Ninja work!

But in order for the Explorer's Club to return in glory,

we'll first need to capture our prey.

Tonight, we hunt monsters!

-[together] Huzzah! -Why don't you come along, son?

Even a mediocre student like yourself might learn something.

Uh…

[sighing]

Sub-Agent Prentis, shift's over.

-What are you doing still working? -New Merge Refugees.

Figuring out where to send them.

You know my policy, "When in doubt you might be, send 'em to the Land…"

-"Of Lee," yes. -I love obeying a good rhyme,

and there is a pair of them, per protocol,

but are you sure that's where they're from?

I'm sure it's all fine. Probably. Just keep records.

[portal whooshing]

[game music chimes]

Ugh, thought he'd never leave.

I know, right?

Making us miss out on valuable gaming time.

You gonna ask out that cute Merlopian girl in HR?

-She's totally head over gills for you. -Uh, she's nice,

but I don't wanna date anybody. I can't explain it.

It's like the perfect person is already out there somewhere.

-Out there? -[Jay] Yeah, look,

even though HR has shown me my records,

and I've worked here my whole life,

since I still don't remember anything,

sometimes I feel like…

Feel like what?

You know, I just found this picture

from our first permit inspection.

The applicant tried to claim a P-3 exemption on a CE-5!

Ha, ha, ha!

Sorry you don't remember it, buddy, but trust me, we've had the best of times.

Yeah.

I guess we really did.

And still undefeated Galamorph champ, Jay Walker!

[clanking]

That doesn't sound natural to me.

[clanking]

Looks like someone dug something up.

Or buried something.

[rocks tumbling]

That's the kind of suitcase Administration Agents use.

[Kai gasps]

Your old Gi.

This makes zero sense. How could this be here?

"Request to bury incriminating evidence.

Stamped and approved."

What does this mean?

It means the Administration knew I was a Ninja.

They hid this here,

where I woke up with no memory. We need to get there.

There's someone I need to threaten with intense violence!

I mean, have a discussion with.

[Reggie] Right! Who's ready for a night of monster hunting?

-[Explorers] Huzzah! -Tonight we'll be using

these brand-new prototype capture devices.

Behold!

Aah!

[grumbling]

Explorers!

Split up and find the monster!

[Explorers] Huzzah!

[Frak] Uh, is that a good idea?

There's safety in numbers.

Maybe you should go out in groups of two or three?

Especially since you don't know the area and have no idea

what kind of monster you're dealing with.

[Reggie chuckling]

My apologies, Explorers.

My naive son means well.

You forget, Frak, the one who catches the monster

gets the all-important naming rights, huh?

If we went in pairs, who would get to name the monster?

It'd be madness!

Don't fret, son. Yes, your idea was awful,

but I do like that you tried to participate…

almost like a little mini grown-up.

There's probably no monster, right?

Monster or not, these explorers will probably get lost

or end up in a ditch somewhere. We have to help.

Why? I don't help buffoons. Personal policy.

[growling]

Why? 'Cause helping is the Ninja way.

-And one of them is my dad. -Yeah, still not convinced.

Okay. But if there's a chance there really is a monster,

someone's gotta protect this town.

[Wyldfyre sighs]

I guess it'd be cool to fight a monster,

if there is one, which I doubt.

-[distant cat screeching] -[dog barking]

Why do you let your dad talk to you that way?

He's my dad.

Look, my parents were a mess too.

Then you get it.

I haven't spoken to them in years, probably never will again.

Just 'cause someone's related to you,

it doesn't mean you have to take their abuse.

It's called family loyalty, Sora.

Some of us obviously have a harder time just walking away from family than you do.

Can't imagine the same trick we used the last time will work again.

-Got a new plan for getting in there? -Yeah, I got a guy.

Called him as soon as I came up with the idea.

-What guy? -Trust me, you'll love him.

[horn honks "La Cucaracha"]

[brakes screeching]

[coughing]

Jay!

My guy! [laughing]

-Rapton! -[both] Rapton?

[grunting]

[chuckling]

Aw, Rapton's thrilled to see you, you old outlaw!

It's been too long! Jay hasn't seen you since we pulled that job in Shintaro!

[scoffing] Pfft! Can you believe

some clown paid so much for an ugly cursed skull?

-[cackling] -[laughing] Don't make me laugh.

-You know this jerk? -You know these jerks?

Oh, you've met?

We came when you called, Jay. Whatcha need, brother?

Gotta get in there.

Jay's got a plan, but Jay needs you to help Jay pull it off.

-How much will it cost? -For Jay?

Free of charge!

[grumbling]

Pow!

Yeah!

Yeah! Whoo!

[fireworks blasting]

Cease!

You're breaking literally 15 different local ordinances!

[cackling]

We think ordinances are dumb!

It's cool to break 'em!

Yeah!

[tires squealing]

These hooligans and scofflaws won't comply.

[firing blasters]

Move in!

[thrilling music playing]

[whistling]

[body slumping]

Oh! Ow! Oh, no!

[engine roaring up]

Oh, why did we dare tangle

with the unstoppably dapper Administration?

We must flee for our lives!

[stammering]

[engine roaring away]

Good work, Agents!

And the scofflaws left a vehicle behind.

Have it confiscated!

I can't believe something Rapton did actually worked!

So where do we go now?

He'll probably be in his office soon.

Who's "he"?

I stopped understanding anything back when we were in a stomach.

[screeching]

[Wyldfyre] A real monster!

[monster hissing]

[panting]

[grunting with effort]

-[Frak] Come on, work! -[ground rumbling]

[all yelping] Whoa!

[snarling]

[Sora gasps] Don't let it get away!

[monster hissing overhead]

[yelping]

Courageous might wanna change his name.

Ha-ha!

[snarling]

[panting]

Work, powers, work!

Aah, fine, whatever!

H'yah!

[screaming]

[snarling]

Hmm. Hup!

Aah!

[Frak] Dad! No!

Oh, boy.

Oof!

[snarling]

[yelping]

[slamming]

[snarling]

[Riyu barks]

[growling]

[yelping]

[shrieking]

[Riyu shrieks]

[Riyu groaning]

[Sora] Come on, powers, come on!

[Riyu shrieks]

[panting]

[monster hissing]

[groaning]

[both] Riyu!

Son, you tried to rescue me!

-It's what I do, Dad-- -But you only got in my way.

I would've trapped it myself if you hadn't shown up.

-Next time, think. -[Riyu groans]

[mysterious music playing]

[snoring]

[light switch clicking]

[groaning] Lousy lights.

I have to requisition repairs.

[chair wheels spinning]

Jay! Where have you been?

And what's with the hair and uniform?

You went on that reclamation operation in Mysterium and never came back.

Shut it, Blake!

I know it's an act.

[scoffs] My so-called best friend

with fake photos of us as young agents together.

Fake? What are you talking about?

I got receipts.

I wanted to believe you weren't in on it…

maybe you had your memories altered too, but no!

A request to bury incriminating evidence form,

and whose name is on that signature line?

Tell me.

Agent Blake Donovan.

So you finally figured it out? Took you long enough.

Who erased my memories?

Was it you?

-Why? Tell me why! -You don't get it.

There are things you'll never understand, Jay.

Is that so?

Well, one thing I do understand is what this does.

You wouldn't.

You wanna bet?

What if I told you how you could unblock your memories.

[Jay] How?

33rd floor, Section A9.

Where your memories were blocked. There could be a way to reverse it.

Why should I trust you?

Cause I'm the only hope you have of ever remembering your real life.

-Take me there. -No problem,

I'll just get you the access code, and-- Chair! [clattering]

So long, suckers!

Ugh! That jerk-head!

[typing]

According to this, the 33rd floor, Section A9,

is the Department of Vacation Simulation.

It's gotta be a lie. Why would a Vacation department

have anything to do with Jay's memory loss?

'Cause according to what I'm seeing here,

they've got some brain-accessing tech up there.

We can't stay here. I'm sure Blake's reported us.

Agents will be on us in seconds.

-[banging] -Freeze, enemies of bureaucracy!

Uh, I swear,

if this is another one of Agent Donovan's pranks…

Aah!

[gasping]

I was afraid that'd happen.

I do not like elemental powers being all messed up like this.

Thanks for the catch.

-Any time. -We've been wandering for hours.

The dragon said I'd find the Temple of the Green Ninja if I was meant to.

[sighing] Maybe I'm not meant to.

Maybe it's true, I'm too old, and it's too late to do the Ritual.

Maybe you should try meditating.

Who are you? Me?

It's what you'd tell me to do, isn't it?

Should follow my own advice.

Get comfortable.

This might take a while.

[energy sparking]

I… feel something already.

Well, good thing I didn't get comfortable.

Wait… this isn't from my meditations.

It's…

[snarling]

[snarling]

Aah!

[grunting]

[roaring]

We have captured one of the Elemental Energy creatures

formed by the Weapon of Desolation.

You know what you need to do, then…

and let no one stand in your way.
