Ninjago S14 E14

## Plot

Episode 13 starts with a ship called the Mary Louise asking for help after being caught in a squall with purple lightning, even though the police officer on the other end of the radio says they have clear skies in all directions. It came out of nowhere. One second, the weather was fine, and then this happened. It's because Kalmaar has awakened Wojira. Once they leave, the weather goes back to normal. I love the title card. Glutinous suddenly arrives in Ninjago City and says he has to speak with the ninja. Jay and Nya play a dancing game, and Nya teaches Jay a move she came up with called the Electric Jaya to break their high score, which also breaks the game. Jaya is their out of universe ship name. Wu calls them about Glutinous, who was picked up by the police officer that was on harbor patrol. Bentho knows who he is. He tells them that Kalmaar has awakened Wojira, and he tricked them with the fake amulet. We see a flashback of how it happened in the previous episode. I love Kalmaar. He can be super angry sometimes, but name another villain, or at least another Ninjago villain, that uses words like despoil or imbecilic. The first thing Wojira did when she woke up was almost blast Glutinous, whose warnings about safety and testing were disregarded by Kalmaar. He used his trident to control Wojira, which changed her eyes from blue to red. That was two days ago. Once he's able to fully control her, he'll attack Ninjago. Wu tells Pixal that she only has twelve hours to get their new sub cars ready for combat, and she also launches an emergency broadcast, telling everyone to evacuate the city. We see Okino in a silent cameo as the skies darken. Gayle and Vinny get an up close and personal look at Wojira and Kalmaar, and they get in a helicopter as they watch them flood the city. Episode 14 starts with a tour bus driving through the city right before the broadcast and the flood. Dareth is there, and he does his best to save everyone when they get stuck underwater, until they're saved by Jay. Gayle and Vinny are saved by Wu and Pixal, who are in the Bounty. Kalmaar orders Wojira to go after them. Lloyd rescues some people in the arcade when he's attacked by Merlopians. Zane tells him to keep heading to the surface while he, Kai, and Bentho handle the Maaray. Bentho tries to get them to stand down by saying that Wojira is destroying the balance of Ninjago. She's everything that the first spinjitzu master fought against. Kalmaar is the one who killed King Trimaar. Gripe says he's been corrupted by the surface dwellers. No one believes him, and they think he's a traitor. Cole has returned from Shintaro, and uses another sub car to help Zane and Kai. Wu rescues two kids. Cole, Zane, and Kai help Bentho against the Merlopians. Pixal tells Zane that they've encountered Wojira and require immediate assistance. Cole tells him and Kai to go help them while he and Bentho handle the soldiers. I love that Pixal refers to the Bounty as her ship, especially since her boyfriend is the one who found it in the first place. She fires missiles at Wojira, but that doesn't do anything. Lloyd distracts them, and is blasted into the water for his troubles. Zane and Kai's torpedoes also don't do anything. The Bounty is hit by a blast from Wojira, which sends it into the water. Before she can kill them, Zane and Kai distract her with more torpedoes. Jay's bombs also don't do anything. She picks up his sub car in her mouth and shakes it around, severely damaging it, before Nya splashes her with water, sending Jay and his car into the water. Nya uses her elemental powers to stand on water and face Wojira and Kalmaar. These episodes were clearly set up for the finale, hence the short description, especially for episode 13. I'm upset that Ray and Maya didn't return. I really like the water and storm animation.
