Ninjago S3 E7

## Plot

In space, the guys are experiencing zero gravity. They need to find a way to take control of the ship. The only way out is through the same airlock they came in though, and they don't have spacesuits. The nindroids are heading for a comet, Delta V, which is where the golden weapons landed. In five minutes, the area of the ship the ninja are in will detach, and they'll be abandoned in space. The others back on Earth are able to contact them. Or rather, whatever Ninjago's equivalent of planet Earth is. The space shots of the planet and the stars look great by the way. There are spare spacesuits located in an A2 storage compartment. They can't get the suits unless they go outside, but they can't go outside without the suits. Wu says that if they can't change their circumstances, change themselves. Zane has to do it alone, since he doesn't need oxygen. He loses his grip on the ship after almost being spotted though, and is flung out into space. Oh, seeing it from his POV and hearing him panic like that… Luckily, he uses his ice powers to get back. Oh! I was so nervous! I'm so proud! This must be what it feels like to be a parent. The booster is separated from the rocket. Mission control receives word from Lloyd though, saying that they made it. They try to get to the access hatch to take over the cockpit. However, their radio transmissions are intercepted in the ship. Cryptor sends out some nindroids to deal with them. The others can also use their elemental powers, even though they have spacesuits on. Kai can use fire, which needs oxygen to burn. Cole discovers firsthand that they can't use spinjitzu in space because there's no gravity. There's too little resistance, and they'd just fling themselves off the ship. Jay saves Cole, who thanks him and says that he owes him one. Cryptor orders that they approach the comet through its tail, even though it's letting off a lot of debris, in an attempt to get the ninja off the ship. They lose contact with mission control. An army of nindroids, the OverBorg, and Pythor attack Borg Industries in Ninjago. The Overlord is there too, in a chamber of some sort. He tells them to seize the entire building. Wu, Garmadon, Nya, and Pixal grab everything they can carry to communicate with the ninja and leave through a broken window. Hey, that's the same one Garmadon threw Wu out of! They haven't fixed that yet? Or updated their security? Of course, they've had far more pressing issues at hand lately. Come to think of it, it seemed like the window was already broken when Garmadon shoved Tech-Wu, since I didn't hear breaking glass. Oh! It was broken when Borg was kidnapped earlier in the same episode, obviously! Arcturus lands on Delta V. The Overlord tells his forces in Ninjago to prepare the factory. We finally see him, and he doesn't look all that menacing… yet. The OverBorg discovers mission control hiding on the window nacelle. He starts cutting the ropes holding them up. They use their momentum to jump to a platform, and Garmadon catches Wu, in a parallel to the fifth episode when the reverse happened. They escape on a helicopter that Pixal summoned. On Delta V, the ninja survived and find the crashed rocket ship. The nindroids already left to look for the golden weapons. The guys can't steal the ship because they took the launch key. They left in rovers. There's still one there, and there are tracks to follow. They discover the weapons, the nindroids, and Cryptor with the key in a cave. The weapons have fused together into a ball. They see an alien bug. Wu gets back in contact with them and tells them not to disturb the alien life, since they're very dangerous. They retreated back to Garmadon's monastery. A few years ago, scientists studied a meteorite that likely came from the same comet they're on. Inside were the fossilized remains of bugs that eat through metal. By the time they're able to get the message through to the ninja, there's already a huge swarm. The nindroids are made of metal, Zane included, and all the vehicles, weapons, and spacesuits. Literally everything is made of metal! Lloyd quotes what Wu said in the beginning and finally realizes what he meant. It's just like with the Starteeth, which also ate through metal. They get in their rover and chase after the nindroids. Lloyd explains Wu meant that instead of focusing on how bad things are, focus on what's right. They have to think positively. The bugs can be used as a weapon against their enemies. The guys leave their rover to get the launch key. Since they're on the comet, they can use spinjitzu now. Kai gets the launch key, and they all get back to the rover. Cryptor crashes his. The bugs are gone. It turns out that they started eating the rocket ship too though. Now they have no way to get back to Ninjago. Cryptor and a few other nindroids use their rocket boosters to get off the comet and deliver the golden weapons to the Overlord. The ninja have failed, and they're not coming home.
