Prophecy of the Green Ninja/Transcript

Past Zane: "One ninja will rise above the others and becomes the Green Ninja, the ninja destined to defeat the Dark Lord."
Kai: We all know the prophecy backwards and forwards, and I don't remember it saying anything about a maze.
Cole: And definitely no mention of an ominous red glow.
Nya: That's not part of the puzzle. That's the code trying to take control of Zane. If it reaches his core systems, we could lose Zane forever.
Kai: These symbols weren't here before.
Nya: They appeared when you reviewed the prophecy.
Cole: They match the writing from the scroll.
Zane: The language of our ancestors. Allow me to translate. (He starts to glitch.)
Jay: Oh, great. Now he's doing that.
Zane: I am functioning pe-pe-perfectly well.
Kai: Let's solve this puzzle while there's still something left of Zane to save.
Cole: We know that the Green Ninja prophecy was originally written thousands of years ago by scholars in the Cloud Kingdom.
Kai: We only found the prophecy because I took Master Wu's bag by mistake.
Past Jay: What is it?
Past Kai: It's a scroll, windbag.
Jay: Hey, I can move the ball! Aw, but it only as far as the words.
Cole: So the more we remember about the Green Ninja, the further we can get in the maze.
Nya: You should start with the first potential Green Ninja, Morro.
Past Wu: Morro was the perfect student. He was a descendant of an Elemental Master. I thought perhaps he would wear green.
Kai: When the Golden Weapons didn't react to Morro, he turned his back on Master Wu and his training.
Past Wu: I'm sorry, destiny has spoken.
Kai: The Golden Weapons only react to the real Green Ninja.
Past Wu: Lloyd is the Green Ninja.
Jay: Oh, no. There's more paths? How am I supposed to know which way to go?
Cole: That's what makes it a maze.
Jay: Now more walls? This maze is cheating!
Kai: Nya, could this Fire wall be a form of the corruption?
Nya: I don't think so. I believe that's part of the design. If the paths retell the prophecy, maybe the wall has something to do with the Green Ninja that isn't in the prophecy.
Kai: Like Zane's vision.
Past Zane: The Green Ninja. The legend's true. Who are you?
Kai: Cloud Kingdom scholars probably didn't predict how much I wanted to be the Green Ninja.
Past Kai: Maybe if I stand up to Lord Garmadon, I'll find my True Potential and then everyone can see I'm the Green Ninja!
Cole: We all thought we'd be the one.
Kai: Not all of us dressed up like him, though.
Past Kai: Fire! Unlock Fire! Uh, Fire go!
Past Cole: Perhaps if you tried the phrase "Fire dork" maybe it might work.
Kai: That desire held me back.
Past Kai: I wanted to prove I was good enough to become the Green Ninja. But then I figured it out.
Past Lloyd: Help me!
Past Kai: All of my training wasn't in preparation to become the Green Ninja. It was...to protect him. Come on. Let's get out of here.
Kai: All of us played a part in the prophecy, even if we weren't wearing green.
Past Jay: It's Kai! He's found his True Potential!
Cole: (The wall breaks.) Yeah! Kai's memory broke down the wall.
Zane: But why? Why was that memory so special?
Kai: We need to fill in more of the prophecy. What's next?
Cole: The part that Lloyd hated the most.
Past Kai: That's what the prophecy said. That the Green Ninja would defeat the Dark Lord.
Past Lloyd: Am I really gonna have to fight my father one day?
Past Wu: The final battle between good and evil has all but begun.
Kai: Looks like another wall.
Jay: Let me try.
Past Jay: Hey, open the window! Let me in!
Jay: Well, that didn't work.
Kai: The last wall was Fire. This one is Earth. I think Cole needs to do it.
Cole: Let's see, in Kai's memory, he unlocked his True Potential. I unlocked mine at the talent show.
Past Cole: There's something I've been wanting to tell you. Dad...I'm a ninja.
Cole: It was Lloyd's destiny to fight his father. Mine was to reconnect with my dad and find my inner strength.
Past Cole: Dad!
Past Zane: Cole's found his True Potential. His relationship with his father must have been holding him back.
Jay: Aw, man. Why is this puzzle about the Green Ninja really a puzzle about us?
Kai: Because the prophecy affected all of us. Master Wu may have found us, but Lloyd made us a team.
Past ninja: Go, Ninja. Go!
Past Lloyd: Go, go, go! There's more than one way to stop a snake.
Past ninja: Ninja, go!
Nya: That's why there are walls for each of you. The Ninjigma wants you to complete the maze together.
Kai: Why would an enemy design the Ninjigma like that?
Nya: I don't think it was an enemy. I think it was Zane.
Jay: So Zane wants me to think about the first time Nya kissed me.
Nya: Eh, that's not exactly right.
Past Nya: Jay, I want you to know that I like you best when you're you.
Nya: The kiss cured you of Fangpyre venom, but it wasn't until you stopped pretending to be someone else that you found your inner power.
Past Nya: What's happening?
Past Jay: My True Potential.
Kai: Just like how Lloyd had to stop pretending to be a villain before he could become a hero.
Past Lloyd: It is I!
Past Jay: Lloyd Garmadon? I thought we were gonna face Lord Garmadon.
Past Cole: It's his son. Looks like he escaped his boarding school for bad boys again.
Past Lloyd: I am Lloyd Garmadon. Evil son of the super evil Lord Garmadon. Ugh, alright you win. I'm good. But guess what? All of you have a secret good side that stays quiet out of fear, because it thinks it's alone, but it's not. And I'm living proof.
Kai: So the walls are what held each of us back from our True Potential.
Cole: And helped us understand everything Lloyd went through to become the Green Ninja.
Jay: Well, that just leaves Zane.
Nya: Bad news. Zane's memory is almost completely wiped.
Zane: I remember. I-I-I—
Past Zane: What's so f-f-funny? It's pink! My funny switch wasn't on. Funny-funny-funny-funny-funny-funny. My funny switch wasn't on.
Jay: Real helpful, Zane.
Cole: Look, we were all there when Zane reached his True Potential. It was when his memories were restored, and he found out he was a Nindroid.
Zane: To be more precise, I unlocked my True Potential when I realized our differences do not push us apart. They hold us together.
Past Cole: Zane's unlocked his True Potential.
Zane: L-L-Lloyd was an outsider, then he was chosen, but always one of us. Always part of the t-t-t-team.
Cole: We're lucky Zane still had access to that particular memory.
Jay: Water? Why is it never easy?
Nya: I told you this puzzle was meant for all of us.
Cole: But Nya can't digitize herself, can she?
Jay: Maybe you can just tell us your Lloyd memory, and we can all think about it real hard.
Nya: Don't worry. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. Every memory you recreate, every emotion you feel. Zane sees all of it as code. I just need to translate my emotions into a language he can understand.
Past Cole: Nya.
Nya: Wu taught me that it was okay to fail.
Past Kai: She's unlocked her True Potential!
Nya: Only then did I understand that success was a choice. How many times did Lloyd hear that he was destined to save Ninjago?
Past Lloyd: I...won't...give...up.
Nya: Prophecy may have chosen the identity of the Green Ninja, but Lloyd chose to become him.
Jay: Haha! You did it, Nya!
Kai: But now what are we gonna do? I'm guessing that green Energy wall means we can't solve the puzzle without Lloyd.
Cole: Or save Zane.
Jay: Or save ourselves!
Past Overlord: It's over.
Past Lloyd: A ninja never quits.
Nya: Every day, we choose to stand up to evil. Some days, we fall down. Everyone, today is not a day we fall down. (Lloyd gets in the computer.)
Lloyd: What just happened?
All except Nya and Lloyd: Lloyd!
Nya: I told you I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Unfortunately, it took every last bit of juice I had left to get him in.
Lloyd: Sorry I'm late, guys.
Jay: That doesn't matter! Quick, what makes you the Green Ninja? I mean, other than destiny.
Lloyd: Easy, I used to be nothing but trouble, but then I met you guys. You took me in, you showed me the importance of being brave, the importance of being strong, and most importantly, being good.
Past Lloyd: Master Wu still hasn't recovered.
Past Kai: Oh, great. All this and now we have no leader, either?
Past Lloyd: The um, logical successor would be, uh—
Past Cole: The Green Ninja.
Past Lloyd: Correct. I'm no leader. All I do is make mistakes.
Past Misako: The true measure of a leader is not whether he makes mistakes. It is whether he learns from them.
Past Lloyd: I'm supposed to be fighting alongside my friends.
Past Misako: Yes. Even if they aren't ready to follow you yet, they will be.
Past Cole: We don't have a master anymore?
Past Jay: Yes we do. You, Lloyd.
Past Lloyd: But—
Past Kai: Master Lloyd.
Past Lloyd: Master...Lloyd.
Lloyd: Our power comes from no one being more important than the other. It's working!
Jay: Haha! We did it. We beat the Ninjigma. Haha! What did we win?
Zane: Accessing a new memory.
Cole: What is that?
Overlord: FInally, freedom. Thank you for unlocking me from my prison. In return, I think I will destroy you.
Nya: Those eyes. I'd recognize them anywhere.
Lloyd: Oh, no!
Zane: It's the Overlord.
