Rising Ninja/Transcript

(In the Wyldness, Arin sees Lloyd and Nya in the form of his parents.)
Nya: Arin? Arin, are you okay?
Arin: Mom, Dad, I'm so sorry. I wanted to find you, but I failed. I can't do anything right.
Lloyd: Arin, what are you talking about?
(Arin and Riyu recover.)
Arin: Lloyd? Nya?
Lloyd: What happened to you?
Arin: Ras happened. I saved someone named Bonzle from that Imperium science girl, but Ras showed up out of nowhere and took Bonzle back. I did everything I could. Ras still plowed right through me like I was nothing.
Lloyd: Do you know where Ras is now?
----
(At the Shadow Dojo, Ras prepares for the Ritual of the Blood Moon.)
Ras: Strike the Gong of Shattering, prepare the ritual.
Cinder: (To Jordana) Looks like the boss cleaned up your mistake.
(Jordana groans. Kai, Sora and Wyldfyre approach the Writers of Destiny, disguised as Wolf Mask Warriors.)
Kai: Shh, it's Kai. I'm gonna melt your shackle.
(Kai starts to melt Suetonius' shackles. Suddenly, a Wolf Mask Warrior strikes the gong, suddenly causing the Wolf Masks to glow. Kai, Sora, and Wyldfyre try to fight the power of the gong as the Wolf Mask Warrior repeatedly strikes it.)
----
(Cole, Zane and Gandalaria make their way up to the Cloud Kingdom.)
Gandalaria: Ow. Now I remember why I never ride you, Hatty.
Cole: (Helps her up.) Come on! We gotta get Bonzle back from Ras and the Wolf...
(They notice the Writers of Destiny are shackled.)
Zane: Where are Ras and his army?
Cole: And have you seen our friend? She's about this tall. Also, a skeleton.
Monk: Haven't seen her! And Ras set our island to crash!
(Gandalaria gets out her crystal ball, while Cole and Zane use their Earth and Ice powers to free the chained Writers.)
Gandalaria: What? No thank you for the all-powerful Gandalaria?
Cole: There's gotta be a way to stop this thing from crashing!
Zane: (To the Writers) Is there a motor room?
(One of the Writers confirms. Inside the motor room, they spot that the main rotor is out of place.)
Zane: It would seem repairs are in order.
Cole: Good thing I brought my tools.
(He assembles his elemental mech and grabs the rotor.)
----
(Back at the ritual, Kai, Sora and Wyldfyre struggle to take off their masks. Ras approaches Jordana, who is holding a scroll.)
Jordana: The secret enchantments, Lord Ras. Your pronunciation must be—
Ras: Do not worry about my part. It will be perfect. Are you prepared to revert this spell and summon the Five?
Jordana: (Sighs.) Yes, I will be able to completely control this spell.
Bonzle: I'm not just a spell! I'm a person!
Ras: Quiet! (To Jordana) No more mistakes.
(Ras reads the Theroxian incantation while Jordana fires up her Theroxian magic.
Ras: Theo'do'nox cataline no dex ret so ana-ton go so-lox anitatatay-poxel. No'verix catalo ana-ton re-ingalago so-lox niver-maste fo le pezotan...
(Nearby, Kai, Sora and Wyldfyre still struggle to fight the power of the gong. Wyldfyre uses her powers to get it off.)
Wyldfyre: Ugh! These masks are the worst! Hold still, my aim is perfect! (She knocks off Sora's mask.)
Kai: Wait, are you sure you- Ah! (The mask comes off.) Nice. (Sniffs.) Wait, does anyone smell burnt hair?
(Kai's hair starts to burn. Suddenly, Cinder spots Kai, Sora, and Wyldfyre.)
Cinder: Intruders!
(Kai puts out the fire in his hair as the Wolf Mask Warriors turn to them.)
Ras: Stop the ninja from freeing the prisoners! We need sacrifices! (He continues chanting.)
Sora: Ready for some Rising Dragon Technique, Kai? (The Wolf Mask Warriors get closer.) Uh, anytime now!
Kai: I'm connecting my internal movement to the movement of the universe, like we were taught.
Wyldfyre: No, you're standing still.
Kai: Okay, look, I only did Rising Dragon once, by accident. I'm not sure I can do it again.
(The Wolf Mask Warriors surround Kai, Sora, and Wyldfyre.)
Sora: New plan. You fight the Wolf Masks, and I keep Cinder from Shatterspinning?
Kai: Now, that I can do!
(Sora and Kai throw their discs up and assemble their elemental mechs. They then all start fighting the Wolf Mask Warriors. Cinder prepares to put on a Wolf Mask, but Sora knocks the mask out of his hand. They both go to reach for the mask, but Sora throws Cinder to the ground. He tries to use his powers to teleport, but Sora traps him in a barrier just before he could.)
Sora: You think I didn't expect your Smoke form?
(Cinder tries to punch the barrier, but fails. On the stairs of the dojo, the ritual continues.)
Bonzle: No! Please!
(While Jordana uses her magic, Wyldfyre uses her powers to free the captive Writers.)
Wyldfyre: There you go! You can thank Wyldfyre for your freedom!
(Kai continues fighting the Wolf Mask Warriors with his mech, although the warriors are immune to the fire.)
Kai: Ugh, don't these clowns feel any pain?
(The warriors slice off his mech's right arm. Kai uses his mech's left arm to shoot fire at the warriors. Sora spots him and activates a sword on her mech's right arm.)
Sora: Kai! Need a hand? (She disconnects her right arm and sends it to Kai, who catches and equips it.)
(Euphrasia gets freed by Wyldfyre and takes off her Vengestone medallion.)
Euphrasia: Ready to join the fight!
Wyldfyre: No! You're all some kinda sacrifices or something! Ras can't finish his plan without you, so get outta here!
(Ras continues reading the Theroxian incantation while Jordana tries to turn Bonzle back into a spell.)
Ras: Leber-lox menoo-gala het regalo. Poxel da in-therox lef belent mil-troton sempaste guthero-vix to!
Bonzle: No!
(Bonzle turns red and is transformed back into her spell form. Jordana uses her to open a red portal. The Forbidden Five are seen together, with one walking towards the portal.)
Sora: Oh, no! The gateway is open!
(The portal suddenly turns black. Meanwhile, Kai continues to fight the Wolf Mask Warriors in his mech.)
Ras: Bring the sacrifices! (He watches the Writers run.) What? Don't let them escape!
(The Wolf Masks run to the Writers, but Kai and Wyldfyre block the way.)
Wyldfyre: No monks for you!
(Cinder continues to struggle escaping the Tech barrier. The Wolf Masks destroy Kai's mech and knock him unconscious.)
Wyldfyre: Eat fire!
(Wyldfyre slides in front of Kai and uses her powers on the Wolf Mask Warriors.)
Sora: (To the Wolf Mask Warriors) Come on! Do you really want Cinder back? This guy is a grade-A jerk!
(Cinder continues banging against the barrier.)
Wyldfyre: If we're going down, Kai, we're going down together, like the fire-breathing dragons we are!
(Suddenly, Lloyd, Nya, Arin and Riyu appear on a nearby cliff.)
Lloyd: Ninja, go!
(The ninja use Spinjitzu while Riyu flies. They attack the Wolf Mask Warriors.)
Nya: (To Wyldfyre) You okay? 
Wyldfyre: Of course! Kai and I had this totally under control.
(Kai groans.)
Sora: Arin! I was afraid you went down with the Bounty!
Arin: Riyu flew us to safety.
Sora: What? He can't fly. We trained and— Oop!
(Riyu grabs a Wolf Mask Warrior and flies up.)
Sora: I stand corrected.
(Riyu throws the Wolf Mask Warrior, who is headed toward Ras. He dodges the warrior.)
Ras: Baka-lu. Poxel da in-therox lef belent mil-troton sempaste guthero-vix to.
(Ras notices the Blood Moon has nearly passed.)
Ras: Cinder! Finish this!
(Cinder breaks out of the barrier.)
Sora: Oh no!
(Sora gets blasted out of her mech just as it gets destroyed, knocking her unconscious.)
Arin: Sora, get up!
(Cinder appears in front of Arin and Sora.)
Cinder: She's unconscious? Aw, too bad. She'll miss my sweet Shatterspin!
(Cinder picks up a Wolf Mask, but Arin knocks it out of his hands with Spinjitzu. Cinder runs towards the mask.)
Arin: Ninja! Don't let Cinder get that mask!
(Cinder repeatedly tries to grab the mask, but Nya, Lloyd, and Wyldfyre use their powers to knock it out of his hand every time.)
Cinder: Fine! That's not the only mask!
(Cinder steals a mask from a Wolf Mask Warrior and puts it on.)
Cinder: I will shatter the last dregs of goodness in my soul!
(A Wolf Mask Warrior strikes the gong, and Cinder transforms and starts spinning.)
Wyldfyre: We have to stop this!
Nya: We can't!
(Cinder attacks the team, but is intercepted when he attacks Nya.)
Nya: What is that?
Wyldfyre: It's Kai!
(Kai counters Cinder with Rising Dragon Technique.)
Ras: Rising Dragon Technique? Impossible!
(Ras is attacked by Lloyd's Spinjitzu. He dodges the next few attacks.)
Kai: (To Cinder) Nice trick, right? Wanna see more?
(He uses Rising Dragon Technique again and easily defeats Cinder. Lloyd and Ras battle on the same grounds.)
Ras: You are too late! The ritual is nearly complete!
Lloyd: Your Shatterspin warrior's met his match, and the Blood Moon's almost passed! Even your sacrifices are gone! Yeah, I'd say the ritual's almost over, and you failed!
Ras: All I need for a sacrifice is an unshattered soul! And I know just who to use.
(Ras throws his hammer at Kai and knocks him towards the portal, but Riyu saves him. Kai grabs onto his tail.)
Nya: Kai!
Kai: No!
(Kai loses his grip and falls into the portal.)
Nya: No!
(Nokt, the member of the Forbidden Five walking toward the portal earlier, jumps out of the portal. The Wolf Mask Warriors bow to him.)
Sora: Huh?
Nokt: Finally, after long centuries... I'm free.
----
(As the Cloud Kingdom veers downwards, Gandalaria watches three Writers slide towards the edge.)
Gandalaria: Hold on! I'll get you a rope!
(She summons a hose from Hatty and throws it to them, but water sprays out of it, throwing the Writers around.)
Gandalaria: Close enough.
(In the motor room, Cole struggles with the rotor.)
Cole: It won't budge!
(Cole puts the rotor back in place, but the pressure causes it to split in half and then break off.)
Zane: It might not have to. If you could hold the bottom of the wheel and reach the top mechanism, your mech could effectively act as a new wheel assembly and right the kingdom.
(Cole tries, but can't reach the top mechanism.)
Cole: My mech is too small! I can't reach the ceiling mechanism!
Zane: (Sighs.) If only there was a method of increasing your mech's size.
(Cole gasps, having come up with an idea.)
Cole: Hold that thought!
(Cole brings Gandalaria down.)
Gandalaria: But I'm not a mechanic! What could you possibly need me for?
Zane: As much as I hate to say it, we need you to use your size-changing spell on me.
(Gandalaria uses the spell on Zane, causing him to grow large. He grabs the top mechanism as Cole assembles his mech and grabs the bottom wheel.)
Cole: Come on, Zane! You got this!
(Down below in the Forest of Spirits, Euphrasia turns to notice the Cloud Kingdom's imminent crash.)
Euphrasia: Oh, this is bad!
(Euphrasia flies up with her powers and fires a powerful gust of wind at the floating island.)
Zane: It seems to have gotten easier, like someone is helping me! 
Cole: It's working! You've almost straightened it out!
(Zane starts to shrink.)
Zane: Oh, no. I did not factor in this part of the spell.
(Cole and Zane are spun around the wheel, which lands both of them against the wall.)
Zane: Hold on! We are going to crash!
(Euphrasia strains harder, stopping the island before it can crash. She sighs and flies up to the Kingdom, only to notice the Writers holding the hose still flying about.)
Euphrasia: (Gasps.) Oh, my.
(Back in the motor room, Cole and Zane recover.)
Cole: We didn't fall? Zane, we did it!
Zane: Did we?
----
(At the ritual, Jordana struggles to keep the portal open.)
Jordana: (Grunts.) Something's happening! Losing... control!
(Ras turns to Nokt.)
Ras: I am the one responsible for your release. And I intend to free the others, using them as sacrifices!
(Ras points at the ninja.)
Nokt: Whatever it takes.
(Nokt leaps forward and performs Shatterspin, instantly knocking down everyone but Nya. She charges forward, visualizing her game of Counter Shot with Kai.)
Nya: This is for Kai!
(Nya unlocks Rising Dragon Technique and battles Nokt as the rest look on in surprise. As Cinder is distracted, Lloyd charges at him, only for more visions to come.)
Lloyd: No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Not now, please! (He has visions of Kai in a desolate area, Cole in the motor room, and Rontu). Rontu told me I can't force the universe to bend to my will! I have to find my place in its current. Allow the visions to come, to flow. (He has visions of Beatrix attacking him, the Source Dragon of Motion's symbol, Nokt breaking his sword, and the Motion symbol again. He knocks over several Wolf Mask Warriors with his Spinjitzu while charging at Cinder, unlocking Rising Dragon Technique in the process.)
Cinder: Oh, come on!
(Cinder performs Shatterspin, but Lloyd counters him with Rising Dragon Technique.)
Jordana: Aah! This can't be possible! The spell's fighting me! It's trying to shut the gate!
Ras: Keep that gate open!
----
(In the desolate area, Kai regains consciousness.)
Bonzle: Red Ninja, wake up!
Kai: (He slowly gets to his feet.) Wha... Wha— Who is that? Where am I?
Bonzle: I'm the spell Ras is using to keep the gateway open. The ninja are fighting so hard. I think I can help them and can shut the gate down before the rest of the Forbidden Five come through.
Kai: What do you need me to do?
Bonzle: You've gotta get back to the other side before I shut the gate, or you'll be trapped in here forever.
Kai: I don't know how to do that. I'll try to find a way out, but if you get a chance to close that gate, close it! Don't worry about me!
----
(Back at the Shadow Dojo, Arin and Riyu continue fighting off the Wolf Mask Warriors as Lloyd and Nya use Rising Dragon Technique against Cinder and Nokt. Nokt sends out a Shatterspin projectile, knocking Nya to the ground.)
Ras: I'll knock the sacrifices in there myself!
(Ras walks toward Nya. Arin spots Nya knocked out.)
Arin: No, not Nya too!
(He grabs a part of Kai's mech and charges forward, catching Sora's attention.)
Sora: Huh?
Arin: Come on, Object Spinjitzu! You gotta work this time!
(Arin spins and throws it, but Sora secretly uses her powers to activate its booster, making it appear to have Spinjitzu. It slams into Ras, knocking him down.)
Arin: I did it! I did it!
(Arin cheers, not knowing Sora helped him.)
Wyldfyre: (To Sora) That wasn't Arin, you used your Tech powers to—
Sora: Shh.
(Bonzle successfully fights off Jordana and closes the portal as another member of the Forbidden Five starts to climb through. Red energy strikes Jordana and makes her eyes glow momentarily.)
Nya: No! Kai is still in there!
(Ras recovers and notices his forces being defeated. He grunts angrily and looks up at the sky.)
Ras: Master! I call for your aid!
(The ground rumbles as Ras, Cinder, the Wolf Mask Warriors, Nokt, and the Shadow Dojo disappear in a yellow light.)
Lloyd: Huh?
(The ninja all gasp at the sight of everything disappearing in front of them.)
Arin: So, did we win?
----
(The Blood Moon finally passes, causing Rontu and Egalt to revert back to normal.)
Rontu: The Blood Moon has passed. Our curse is over.
Egalt: The world is still here. Maybe the ninja didn't mess up.
----
(Ras, his forces, and the Shadow Dojo reappear in a golden field of grass. Cinder gets up.)
Cinder: What? How did— Where are we?
(Ras and Nokt gets up. Nokt angrily turns to Ras.)
Nokt: How dare you? You cut and run before you got the other four out!
Ras: (Grunts angrily.) You will not speak to me like that, Nokt. You owe your freedom to me.
(Nokt backs up as Ras approaches him. Nokt then tries to Ras but misses. Ras then places a control device on his head, which electrocutes and incapacitates him.)
Ras: I expect loyalty. And my control device will guarantee I get it! (Points to Jordana) And you! You failed to keep the portal open, Jordana!
(Jordana rocks in place and grunts evilly to herself.)
Ras: Do you hear me, Jord—?! (He grunts as his master summons him to a golden void.) Yes, my master. I understand. This was just one step in the plan, but far from the only one.
(Ras' master whirrs.)
Ras: I will not fail you. We will still conquer the Tournament of the Sources and dominate the Source Dragons. Then all the power you need will be yours.
----
(In the Cloud Kingdom, the ninja recover from their battle and reunite. Cole and Lloyd hug.)
Suetonius: Nothing in the archive explains what you saw happen at the Shadow Dojo, or where it might have gone. But this much I do know, we cannot thank you enough, ninja. You have much to celebrate.
Wyldfyre: (Looks down sadly) Why don't I feel like celebrating?
Nya: I would never have admitted it when I was a kid, but my big brother was always my hero. Now he's the world's hero. Again.
(Nya and Wyldfyre both hug sadly.)
Zane: Bonzle is gone, too. It appears she used the last of her magic to battle Jordana and close the gate.
Gandalaria: I'm so proud of her. She was such a selfless little spell.
Cole: No, she was a selfless person.
(Lloyd leads Arin away from the rest of them, as Sora listens.)
Lloyd: Great job, Arin. Knocking out Ras with your Object Spinjitzu was what brought the ritual to an end. We couldn't have done it without you.
Arin: I gotta admit, after my mess-up training, I started to wonder if I even belonged on the team anymore. But pulling out a win today really meant a lot to me.
(Sora smiles to herself, but meets Wyldfyre's eyes, who also smiles.)
----
(Meanwhile, Kai explores the desolate area.)
Bonzle: Hey, it's okay. It's me.
(Kai gasps upon seeing Bonzle.)
Kai: That voice! You're the spell? The voice I heard?
(Bonzle drops down in front of him.)
Bonzle: I closed the gate. Most of the Forbidden Five couldn't cross over. But now we're both trapped here. I'm so sorry. (She buries her face in her hands.)
Kai: No apology needed. You did good, kid.
Bonzle: I didn't even know if I'd survive.
Kai: But we did! Now we've got one job, to find a way out.
Bonzle: I hate to tell you, but unless there's another Blood Moon, there's no way to escape this place. And there won't be another Blood Moon for, like, a zillion years. It's useless to even try to escape.
Kai: Well, like my friend Lloyd always says, "Ninja never quit."
