Be free.
(Kia) 'Come on!'
We're going hunting
'for the Ninja.'
(Dareth) An ambush. Uh, oh, no.

(male narrator) "Episode 89, The Gilded Path."
(Lloyd) Even if we were to get him alone
none of us stand a chance against his power.
Then we keep thinking
until there's a plan that works.
[dramatic music]
[gasps] Oh, no.
[panting]
[grunting]
We can't risk an all-out assault.
My father is too powerful.
Hmm, we must, eh
how you say, uh, strategize.
[Dareth panting] It's an ambush!
[yelling]
Protect the base!

Ugh. Ugh!

Unh-unh-unh.

[groans]
Sorry, boys, welcome to Browntown.
Oh, not again.
Hold that thought.
[whimpering]
And welcome to my foot.
[clamoring]
(Killow) Take the son alive.
[clamoring]
[Lloyd grunting]
There's too many. We need to get you out of here.
No, we need to fight.
[grunting]

[coughing]
Next time, warn me.
Hello, mama.
I am not your mother.
[Ultra Violet grunting]
[dramatic music]
Get Mistake.
But she's just an old lady.
[laughs] She is more than that.
[clanking]
[grunting]
How did she..
[intense music]
- We're losing. - Ha-ha-ha.
We need to endure.
(Harumi) I missed you, Lloyd.
[laughs]
[grunting]
And you'll miss me again.
[laughs]
[grunting]
Nya, ugh-ugh, get Lloyd outta here.
Come on.
[laughs]
- Ugh. - Ugh.
[laughing]
[engine revving]
[grunts]
Skylor, get in.
[instrumental music]
My mother.
We have to go back.
You are what's important. Go, son.
We will hold off.
'Get Green Ninja to safe place.'
[door whirrs]
[engine revving]
[tank screeching]
Wait for me!
After them.
After them!
[motorcycles revving]
[dramatic music]
We can't just leave them.
They aren't my concern, you are.
Whoa, this thing has everything. Heh.
[gasps] There's no bathroom in here, is there?
[engines revving]
We aren't out of the woods yet.
[clanging]
Nice work, you two.
Uh, I know no one takes me seriously.
but about that bathroom--
(both) No!
Fine. I'll take it outside.
[grunts]
[explosion]
[dramatic music]
Ah, don't worry, I took care of the last one.
We're all clear.
[rumbling]
[whimpers]
Spoke too soon.

- Did anyone else feel that? - We all did.
[Nya whimpers]
[growling]
We've got company.

Ah, I don't need that bathroom anymore.

[metal creaking]

It won't hold!
Oh, yes, it will!
We are pancakes.
Please, dad
don't do this.
Mm.

Resistance never quits.
[grunts]
boom
(Nya) 'Hold on!'
[rumbling]
Son.
[dramatic music]
[instrumental music]
He took all the worms?
- No, I didn't. - Did, too.
Well, I'm hungry.
We've been fishing all day
and they're wasted on your hook anyway.
But I'm hungry, too.
Now how am I supposed to catch a fish, father?
Boys, boys.
You were both born with tremendous gifts.
If you think you won't catch a fish
you won't.
But if you have faith..
[laughs]
[music continues]
[fishing pole ratchets]
I got a bite. I got one.
What? How? That's not fair.
What is fair, that's faith.
And judging from it's pull
you've caught quite a keeper.
Oh, he just gets everything.
splash
[instrumental music]
[gasping]
Look who's up?
And look who's got longer legs?
Even as I'm saying that out loud, that's super weird, right?
With his augmented growth cycle
that's actually quite normal for a young teenager.
A teenager? Now we're in for it.
Jay, we're still teenagers.
'Yeah, but grownup teenagers.'
What is wrong, young Master Wu?
I, I had a dream.
I was fishing with my father.
The first Spinjitzu master?
And m-my brother was there.
His memories are coming back.
Do you remember anything else?
Anything your father said?
Yeah.
He said..
[dramatic music]
[screaming]
Show yourself!
There's no escape.
You are my prisoners now.
[music continues]
- Is it true? - Is what true?
What you said. He is the son of the first Spinjitzu master?
- Is it true? - Don't tell him.
You remember what happened when they found out about our powers?
I can hear you.
[gasps]
Yes, it's true.
I am the son of the first Spinjitzu master. I am Wu.
[instrumental music]
Then, the legend is true.
You have come back to take the dragon armor.
Wow! Not what I was expecting.
You're Heavy Metal?
That is my given hunter name.
My real name is Faith.
Faith?
"All you need is faith."
Please, tell me do you know where the dragon armor is?
[music continues]
That way.
Then we must go.
Go? Go where?
To the armor.
Iron Baron has his hunters looking for you
and they never fail.
The farther we get, the longer we'll live.
Yeah, Zane, we're going for the armor.
Away from the man with the funny hat.
- That's a good thing. - Sure.
'Cause when does our master ever led us astray?
Why are you leading us astray?
You don't even know where the armor is.
No, but I have faith.
Oh, faith, he has faith.
Uh, how are we all gonna fit on that thing?
We aren't, but it will hold our supplies.
What it can't carry, we bury.
Iron Baron cannot know I am helping you.
Yeah, yeah, o-of course, heh, your secret's safe with us.
Now, lower that giant rifle thingy.
So, ha, ha, we have Faith.
I hope you know what you're doing.
'What by all accounts looks like'
a devastating blow to the resistance.
The Green Ninjas secret headquarters has been raided
with numerous arrests made.
Are you sure I have to do this?
I already got rid of the vehicle I spent forever building.
We need to destroy anything that can give us away.
But this, this is who I am.
That suit never made you what you are.
It's what's inside of you.
From here on out, we have to hide our identities.
They'll be looking for us
and wearing our colors we'll only draw attention.
[instrumental music]
[sighs]
"The resistance never quits."
Who is hungry?
You didn't steal that, did you? We don't have any money.
Oh, you're forgetting that she owns a noodle empire.
Uh, and there are still a few kind souls
who are watching over us.
[music continues]
[glass shatters]
Yeah, this place is kinda sketchy.
- Are you sure we're safe here? - For the time being.
What about our friends?
My mother?
The word on the street is that
they were taken to Cryptarian Prison.
(Dareth) Garmadon's forces have that place pretty bottled up.
And before you ask
no, I cannot use my brown power to break us in.
Those abilities sadly flushed away.
They'll be alright. Will you?
I already lost my powers.
Now my friends? I couldn't protect them.
It took us all by surprise.
- But we have to endure. - Yeah, right. Endure.
Living in squalor with the rats.
Even those who have nothing find the will to carry on.
[gasps]
Rat. Rat. Rat. Rat.
Rat. Rat. Rat. Rat. Rat. Rat.
Rat. Rat. Rat. Rat.
- Hey, stop! Stop! - Rat!
Uh, is that rat talking to us?
Yes, I believe it is.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Sometimes I forget how unnerving this can be.
Uh, how about this..
[grunting]
- Much better. - Mistake?
- Y-you're just.. - H-how did you do that?
Oh, ooh! Food, heh-heh. I'm famished.
Huh, she made me pee my entire body weight.
Don't you know she can do anything?
Perhaps now is the time
to tell you all who I really am.
Or maybe after I eat.
[instrumental music]
Uh, my feet, they feel like they're gonna fall off.
Huh, does this remind you guys of anything?
Uh, like our time torture to dead end?
No, when this all began, just the four of us.
Hauling Master Wu to who knows where.
Oh, yeah, when we got our golden weapons.
Only now, we're heading to the dragon armor
which is who knows where 'cause this little liar
has us going on a wild goose chase.
(Zane) We must have faith, Kai.
To turn back now will be death.
(Cole) Yeah, no need to remind us.
Why do you wear the mask?
That was Iron Baron's idea.
He didn't want the others to know
his greatest hunter was a woman.
He forbade me to ever take it off.
So the others don't know?
Iron Baron has a way to control us all.
It's either his way or you are cast out.
But when you find the armor
you can control the firstborn.
Then we can all leave this forsaken place.
That's right.
I almost forgot, dragons are the only creatures
who can ferry between realms.
If we can find the dragon armor, we can get home.
What is this place you call home?
It's called Ninjago.
Nin-ja-go?
A place where nobody forces you to wear a mask.
It's a beautiful place.
At least it used to be
before my brother soured it.
Which is why we need to return.
Can you tell me about my father?
Some things I remember, some things I forget.
Every child in the First Realm
knows the tale of the first Spinjitzu master.
Because your father was both Oni and dragon.
He found a bond with the dragon mother.
And she with him.
With her fire and his metal
they forged the dragon armor.
Stories say, he rode the magnificent beast
but not with chains.
He would soar through the skies
only with the respect they had for one another.
Together, they sought to put an end to the devastating war
and unite the realm.
Wow!
That is so cool.
But there were those who would never allow it.
Why?
The Oni and Dragon
have always been mortal enemies.
And there are some divides that cannot be bridged.
Seeing there would never be peace
your father was devastated.
He took off his armor and left the First Realm forever
in hopes of finding the peace he was looking for.
That is something we're all still searching for.
And the firstborn?
She remained behind.
Faithfully guarding his armor
waiting for the day of his return.
But he never came.
Which is why you think Master Wu can find it?
Think? I know or we will die.
Yeah, but do you have to keep saying that?
[whooshing]
[intense music]
- Hunters. - We need to hide.
Hide where? We're in the desert.
I'd run away if my feet weren't so tired.
Well, I'm not going back without a fight.
[dramatic music]
Put those weapons down and do exactly as I say.
Quick, put these on.
Do it if you want to live.
Live, ha, ha, now there's a word you'd like to hear more.
Ah, you caught them, Heavy Metal?
[blabbering]
Yes, I know he knows that, Muzzle.
I was just paying him a compliment.
What do you want?
You can't possibly take them all back by yourself?
So you can leave.
[laughing]
Well, I can see we are not wanted.
We'll just be on our way.
I will tell the Baron of the good news.
[blabbering]
I guess he does look taller.
But last time, he was in a disguise.
[blabbering]
Hold it right there!
Till we can get all this figured out.
[grunts]
- Or not. - Tie them off.
You are a...traitor.
Iron Baron will have your head for this!
[dramatic music]
(Daddy No Legs) Go on and run. You won't get far!
With your speeders, we'll have a running start.
You're no better than those shape-shifting Oni.
You hear me, Heavy Metal?
You'll pay for this!
[dramatic music]
- Which way? - That way.
Into the unknown.
And then, Ninjago!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
[theme music]
