The Geckle Judgement

Title card.

**The Geckle Judgement** will be the first part of the fifty-fourth episode of the second season of LEGO Ninjago & My Little Pony: Living the Pony Life. This and the next episode are based on the LEGO Ninjago episode, *Trial By Mino*. Along with "A Mino Encounter", it was paired with "Queen Murtessa" and "Who's the Modest?".

## Synopsis

*Kai, Zane, the Pegasus Ponies, Spike, Oriana and Kaguya are telling the truth to the Geckles that they are not part of the Awakened Warriors.*

**Teletoon**: *The Geckles realized the Pegasi Ponies, the Ninja, Spike and the Shintaro Duo are black skeletons, but they thought that they aren't. To prove that they are not skeletons, they must put to the Trial-By-Mino.*

## Plot

Trying to find their way out, Kai and Rainbow Dash suspect that they may be walking in circles. Zane assures them that his internal gyroscopic positioning would alert him if so, but states that if the surroundings were ferrous or magnetic, he won't be alerted. Just then, they, along with Fluttershy, Spike, Oriana and Kaguya, run into three Geckles, who are singing a song about Gilly while collecting food, until one of them accidentally fall and drop his food on Kai, blowing their cover. They accuse the Ninja, the two Pegasus ponies, Spike and the Shintaro Crystal Guardians of working for the Skull Sorcerer and try to destroy them, but one suggests that they bring them to their chancellor for him to decide, which Kai agrees with.

After a statement from both sides, Chancellor Gulch decides on a Trial-By-Mino to determine the Ninja, the Pegasus Ponies and Spike's innocence due to strong arguments from both sides. They are dropped into an arena where they dodge the attacks of an angry Mino, but their elemental powers won't work. Zane scans the Mino and discovers that its armor is made of Vengestone. Gulch is surprised that the two have lasted longer than most, and declares them not-skeletons. Oriana and Kaguya were worried that they will be attacked by a Mino.

## Trivia
