[Master Wu] A Painful Promise

[ominous music]

[Master Wu] We're running out of time.

Not sure how long I can keep this up!

[Pixal] The cooling units are pushed to their limit,

but the temperature keeps rising.

If she gets too warm, Nya will completely melt.

And we'll lose her forever.

The Ninja have acquired Aspheera's staff,

but there appear to have been complications.

ETA 45 minutes. We need to stall Aspheera.

Where is Aspheera?

Hmm...

The Weapons of Spinjitzu.

Please, don't make yourself at home.

Isn't it dangerous to have them so close together?

They are currently powerless.

There is little risk in keeping all our eggs

in one basket at this point.

[yawn]

I wouldn't be so bored if I had some paper,

I make fantastic origami.

It's a hobby I picked up in prison.

You know, where you sent me to rot, where you reduced me,

a sorceress and leader of armies,

to folding paper into animals.

We have more pressing matters here

than your arts and crafts, Aspheera.

Ah, yes, your little Nya-cicle.

Wish I could help, but your Ninja never came back,

so I'm leaving.

You agreed to save Nya by draining her powers!

If you brought me my staff, which you didn't.

The Ninja clearly failed.

So time for me to s-s-slither on down the road.

Wait. I'm sure they'll be back soon.

What will keep you here?

Interesting question.

When I was in prison,

I spent a lot of time dreaming about defeating

the Treacherous Deceiver in a variety of ways.

That's you. You're the Treacherous Deceiver.

I know you believe that of me.

Then why did you stare like you had no idea

what I was talking about? Don't make me the villain.

[sighs] What do you have in mind?

How about a series of contests

to test our strength and cunning?

With Nya in mortal danger,

-you expect me to-- -[yawns]

Very well!

What kind of contests?

[grunting]

Ninety-eight, 99, 100!

I win!

Well, I am thousands of years old--

So am I! Next contest!

[both groaning]

Yes! Such a "Wu-ser"!

It's like "loser" but with "Wu" in it 'cause that's your name.

Are we done?

Not even close.

Perfect break! I win!

[Aspheera] Staring contest!

[tense music]

I win!

Pancake flipping.

Jinx!

You really did this, in prison?

[Aspheera] I win!

What's her status?

[groans] Not good. My power is nearly...

[groans]

...gone.

The temperature keeps rising!

[Pixal] The cooling unit is at his maximum strength.

At this level we risk burning out the...

[explosion]

Oh, no!

[system] Danger! Temperature approaching critical!

[Pixal] She's about to destabilize.

Forgive us, Nya.

[Zane] Lookout!

[Kai] Sorry we're late!

I see you have something of mine.

Unless you've changed your mind, about saving your friend?

No. We had a deal.

Finally.

Revenge, revenge!

[screams]

This is the revenge I deserve! Revenge!

[Aspheera] Because of all of you,

my cunning has been wasted on stupid origami!

I can't believe Aspheera betrayed us in two seconds flat!

If only a wise, experienced mentor

had warned you not to trust her.

But, Master Wu, you did warn us.

Exactly! This could not get any worse.

[alarm blaring]

[suspenseful music]

You betrayed me... again?

What? No, I swear I didn't!

They're not after you! They're after us.

Why are they after you?

You said you could get the staff without being spotted!

Well, there were complications.

-Like what? -Does it matter?

The point is, we're all...

Kai said my name aloud,

thereby revealing our identities.

-[sighs] -You dolts! You fools!

You led them back here and now we'll all go to prison!

Maybe not.

There's a secret tunnel out of this Monastery

that only we know about.

Where? Show me!

After you save Nya.

Fine. Brace yourself, Water Ninja.

It's working!

[elevator dinging]

Wherever there are criminals...

Did someone forget to close the secret entrance?

You were the last one in!

Oh, sure, let's blame Kai for everything!

Great. That's awesome.

Blah, blah, blah. You're the New Ninja.

We get it. Pro tip, you need a shorter catchphrase.

We got ours down to three syllables.

I have no idea what's going on here, and I don't wanna know!

You broke the law. And we're here to un-break...

un-break... [grunts]

Sword! Un-break it!

Un-break it?

You know, to fix it?

Make sure you don't break it again.

Wrap it in a bandage maybe, whatever. Get 'em!

We gotta hold them off until Nya's safe.

[groans]

[Pink Ninja] Crime doesn't pay!

And being public enemies one through five

pays even less!

[Kai] Yeah, I got a question about that.

Can you be more specific with those rankings?

Like, whose number one? [grunts]

We're not keeping track, but who's number one?

[groans]

So much elemental energy!

[groans]

Hurry!

I'm trying, you fool!

I've never drained someone this powerful before!

I have no idea what damage it could...

-[blast surging] -[screams]

[all groaning]

[groans]

[gasps] Nya!

Nya.

[groans]

It worked! It worked!

[groans]

What are you doing?

Keeping my word!

At the bottom, you'll see a narrow tunnel.

Follow it and you'll be out in ten minutes.

You're actually keeping your word?

Will wonders never cease?

Don't push it, Aspheera.

By the power of Mayor Trustable, I hereby place all of you

former old new new Ninja under arrest.

And don't worry, we'll find your accomplice Aspheera soon enough.

I hope it was worth it, criminal!

It was.

[Teal Ninja] Radio Ninjago Police

and tell them we have the Ninja in custody.

Take care of Nya. Tell her I love her.

We don't have any reason to arrest you three... yet.

But I warn you.

We're watching you.

And if you give us any reason to even think

you're following the Ninja's example,

we'll be back, and you will face...

The New Ninja!

Smoke bomb!

New Ninja!

[gentle music]

[groans lightly]

Master Wu? Am I back?

Yes, Nya. Yes, you are.

Where's Jay? And the others?

[grunts]

So, this is happening.

Yeah, but we did it.

Nya is home.

[helicopter whirring]

Join your fellow paper soldiers.

Join the only army this once great Queen now commands.

Huh?

What's this-s-s?

Where did you come from?

Why do you seek an audience with As-s-spheera?

You are invited to join the "Council of the Crystal King"

and have your revenge upon those who wronged you.

Do you accept?

How can I say no to an offer like that?

Revenge, revenge. Revenge!
