忍者之路/剧本

*（剧集开始于吴大师前往伊格纳西亚村，凯和妮雅在四武器铁匠店工作）*

**凯**：（*正在制造一把剑）*打造最强的武器，一定要有好钢和热火。放进水里……然后……大功告成！（*当他的剑最终弯曲时，失望地叹了口气）*

**妮雅**：*（笑）*你真是太心急了，凯。耐心点儿。如果父亲还在他会说——

**凯**：我知道。无论能力有多高，经验这东西不是一朝一夕就能掌握的。这话可能对你有用妮雅，但我要做一个比爸爸还棒的铁匠。

**吴大师**：*（走进了商店）*你的剑太笨重了，太笨重了。只会让人动作变慢。武士用用还行，忍者可不会用这个。

**凯**：忍者？你可别指望在这能找到什么忍者，老头。还有看清楚，我的店叫“四武器”，不是“四药房”。我看你还是到别的地方转转吧。

**吴大师**：没礼貌。我还以为会在这儿找到什么好东西呢。（*妮雅示意凯带吴大师四处看看）*

**凯**：如果你要找些好东西，我这还真（*吴大师消失了*）

**妮雅**：他人呢？

**凯**：他刚刚还……算了，不管了。

*(A dark cloud then appears over Ignacia, heralding the arrival of the Skulkin. Upon the arrival, three Skulkin generals appear on the Skull Truck.)*

**努卡尔**: Oh, oh! Let me go first! Please, oh please! I'm dying to go down there!

**格琅查**: You nitwit, you're already dead! Try to control yourself in front of Master Samukai! *(Changing tone, talking to Samukai.)* But with all due respect, last time… you did say… I could go first.

**Samukai**: Sorry boys, this one is mine. Just remember what we're after and find that map. Attack!

*(All the Skulkin Vehicles accelerate in full speed. The citizens of Ignacia charge towards the oncoming trucks.)*

**Samukai**: Boo!

*(The citizens turn and flee as the Skeleton Army rushes past them.)*

**妮雅**：*(Noticing them from the shop).* What are they?

**凯**：*(Wearing armor.)* I don't know. Stay here.

*(Kai battles the Skulkin warriors as one of them decapitates itself and bites Kai's foot.)*

**凯**：Ow! Bite this! *(He kicks the Skulkin's head away. As two skeletons clap for the extraordinary performance, Nya sneaks up behind them and performs a stealth attack.)*

**凯**：*(Surprised at Nya's attack.)* I thought I told you to stay back!

**妮雅**：And what? Let you have all the fun?

*(As the siblings fight the Skeleton Army, Kruncha and Nuckal sneak inside the shop unnoticed and start looking at the merchandise inside.)*

**格琅查**：You're not looking hard enough! *(He hits Nuckal with a samurai helmet.)*

**努卡尔**：Ow! You're not looking hard enough! *(He hits Kruncha in retaliation. As the two Skulkin generals continue tussling, they come across the map Samukai was looking for.)*

**Kruncha and Nuckal**: A map!

*(Back outside, Kai finishes off the last of the Skulkin warriors when Samukai approaches him. Kai takes out his weapon while Samukai takes out four more.)*

**凯**：*(Realizing how outmatched he is.)* Oops…

*(Samukai easily disarms Kai and knocks him down. As Samukai is about to give him a deadly blow, a golden tornado approaches Samukai and attacks him.)*

**吴大师**：*(Inside the tornado.)* Ninja, go! *(He attacks Samukai again.)*

**Samukai**: Sensei Wu! Your Spinjitzu looks rusty.

**吴大师**：Nothing like bone to sharpen its edge, Samukai.

*(Samukai notices a knocked down Kai and a water tank above him, and destroys one of the support legs to crush Kai with the tank.)*

**凯**：*(Noticing the tank.)* Oh no…!

**吴大师**：Ninja, go! *(He performs Spinjitzu again and rescues Kai.)*

**Samukai**: *(He retreats into his Skull truck with the map, but not before leaving Wu a message.)* Lord Garmadon says take the girl!

**吴大师**：*(shocked)* Lord Garmadon?

*(Kruncha laughs as he launches the truck's bone hand to grab Nya.)*

**凯**：Nya! *(The Skeleton Army escape with Nya in their hands.)*

**凯**：*(saddened)* They took Nya…

**吴大师**：I told you. *(He hits Kai's head with a his bamboo stick.)* Useless.

**凯**：*(Furious.)* Arrgh! You could've done something! You could've used your… Twistitzu or your—

**吴大师**：*Spinjitzu*!

**凯**：But you did nothing! I'm going to get my sister back!

**吴大师**：Where they go, a mortal cannot. That was Samukai, king of the Underworld. And if it's true that he's carrying orders for Lord Garmadon, then I fear things are much worse than I ever thought.

**凯**：Lord Garmadon?! Underworld?! What's going on?! What do we have that's so important to them?! And why would they take my sister?!

**吴大师**：What's so important? How about everything in Ninjago itself? *(A flashback begins.)* Long before time had a name, Ninjago was created by the First Spinjitzu Master, by using the Four Weapons of Spinjitzu: The Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Shurikens of Ice, and the Sword of Fire. Weapons so powerful, no one can handle all of their power at once. When he passed away, his two sons swore to protect them, but the oldest was consumed by darkness and wanted to possess them. A battle between brothers broke out, and the oldest was struck down and banished to the Underworld. Peace returned, and the younger brother hid the weapons, but knowing his older brother's relentless ambition for power, he placed a guardian to protect them. And for fear of his own demise, a map for an honest man to hide. *(The flashback ends.)* That honest man was your father. The older brother is Lord Garmadon. And I need to find those weapons before he does.

**凯**：You're the younger brother? Then you came here looking for the map?

**吴大师**：No. I came for something greater—you. Since my brother cannot enter this realm, it's obvious he has struck a deal with Samukai. If he were to collect all four weapons, even I would not be able to stop him again. But you! You have the fire inside. I will train you to harness it. Use it. Become a Spinjitzu Master.

**凯**：Look, I'm flattered you think I'm all that, but I gotta save my sister! I'm not getting involved in your sibling rivalry. *(Sensei Wu knocks Kai down as he tries to walk away.)*

**吴大师**：Haha. Clunky mule. You are not even ready to face my pinky toe. If you want to get your sister back, you must control the fire that burns inside. Only when you become a Spinjitzu Master, will you be able to face… Lord Garmadon.

**凯**：Okay. Then when do we start?

*(The next day, Kai struggles to climb the Mountains of Impossible Height that Wu is on to reach the Monastery of Spinjitzu.)*

**凯**：*(Exhausted from the mountain climbing.)* How long is training gonna be? Aren't we in a bit of a rush since they have the map?

**吴大师**：*(Pauses for a second.)* Patience. *(They enter the monastery.)* You will be ready when you are ready. Not a minute sooner.

**凯**：*(surprised)* A monastery? You expect me to learn to fight in a place of peace?

**吴大师**：Not fight. Train. In order to become a true ninja, first you must be able to see what others do not.

**凯**：But there's nothing here.

*(Sensei Wu pushes a dragon statue, which reveals a secret button. He pushes it, activating all the training equipment in the monastery.)*

**凯**：*(amazed)* Whoa! Is this gonna teach me how to do that cool move? *(Goes on top of one of the training poles as it descends.)*

**吴大师**：*(Pauses in a moment of worry.)* Oh, dear.

*(Kai gets launched into the dragon symbol and falls back on the ground.)*

**吴大师**：Complete the training course before I finish my tea. Then we will see if you are ready. *(He drinks the entire cup.)* Today you failed. Tomorrow you will try again.

**凯**：*(confused)* Failed?! But I didn't even start to—

**吴大师**：*(Closing the door of the monastery.)* Patience.

*(For the next couple of days, Kai trains, but fails to meet Wu's expectations, making Wu fail him over and over again.)*

**吴大师**：Fail. Fail. Dial! Arrgh, so fail! And… fail.

*(One day, a determined Kai goes though the training equipment once again as Wu watches. Just as Wu is about to drink his tea, Kai knocks his cup away with his sword to stall him. When he pours some more tea into another cup and looks up, he notices that Kai is nowhere to be found.)*

**凯**：*(He offers Wu a cup of sugar cubes, surprising him.)* Was that one sugar… or two?

*(Wu is impressed with Kai's progress and enters the monastery.)*

**凯**：So, am I gonna learn this Spinjitzu I've been hearing about?

**吴大师**：You already have. Your final test comes tomorrow. *(Closes the door.)* My advice is to get some sleep.

*(Later that night, three unknown ninja enter the monastery as Wu is asleep and Kai is preparing for bed.)*

**吴大师**：*(In a flashback.)* My advice is to get some sleep.

**凯**：*(Talking to himself and gesturing wildly.)* Oh yeah?! Well take this! *(The first ninja lands silently near the front door, wielding a pair of nunchucks.)* And this! *(The second ninja lands in the corner of the room possessing a pair of shurikens.)* And this! *(Kai then comes face to face with the third ninja, who is holding a scythe.)*

*(The three ninja prepare to attack him.)*

**凯**：*(Realizing his trapped situation.)* Oops…

*(The episode ends with a "To be continued" subtitle.)*
