00:04I can't believe we're finally together, Jay.
00:09Team wasn't the same without you, buddy.
00:24Too bad you're a failure.
00:26What did you say?
00:27I said you are a failure.
00:30I placed my faith in you for nothing.
00:33You said you could capture Roz.
00:35The only thing you've caught is feelings.
00:41Face it, old man.
00:43Even if you were once a ninja,
00:45you've fallen too far for them to ever take you back.
00:50Stay back!
00:51You're one of us, Jay. Not them.
01:12Meditation didn't go well.
01:15Didn't find any answers, if that's what you're asking.
01:18Just confusion.
01:20You sure I did this all the time?
01:22It seems boring.
01:24You did.
01:26You didn't always like it, but meditation's part of being a ninja.
01:29It doesn't just hand you clear answers,
01:32but it can process bad thoughts to make room for better ones.
01:36Those weren't better thoughts.
01:38Trust me.
01:40Life without memories is like feeling around in the dark.
01:46Oh, I can't meditate either.
01:48It's like I can't hold a thought in this place.
01:51I don't like it here.
01:52We should go.
01:53We plan to stay till dawn,
01:55but the sun should be up by now.
01:57And I don't want to wait any longer.
01:59We need to figure out how to get home.
02:01I'll light the way.
02:04Dang it.
02:05Keep forgetting our powers are on the fritz.
02:08This situation just keeps getting better.
02:18Who needs powers?
02:26I feel better already.
02:29Sarcasm.
02:30Why is the ground all squishy?
02:37What is that?
02:40Is the sky moving?
02:43Not the sky.
02:45Those things!
03:06I'm sorry.
03:08There must be some kind of misunderstanding.
03:11I'm not a protector of the Whispering Wood.
03:14You are the Green Ninja of Legend.
03:16Are you not, Lloyd, son of Garmadon?
03:19I am.
03:20But I've never even heard of this place.
03:26Do not lie to us.
03:28You must have felt the call.
03:30But you ignored it.
03:32The first Green Ninja to ever abandon their duties.
03:35To neglect the wood from which mortal life itself
03:38originally sprang forth.
03:40There have been other Green Ninja?
03:42The prophecy never said anything about other...
03:44Of course there have been others.
03:46And each one has performed the ritual of unrooting
03:49to maintain the power of this wood until you.
03:53I didn't know any of this.
03:54I thought I'd reach my true potential.
03:57You believe you only have one true potential?
04:00That any of us do?
04:02Hey, go easy!
04:04Lloyd protected this place as soon as he got here.
04:06He saved these little guys from some weird monster dudes.
04:11Too little, too late.
04:13Without the Master of Life, the Whispering Wood has weakened.
04:16Its light dimmed.
04:18I swear to you.
04:19I had no idea.
04:21All the other Life Masters found their way here as soon as they came of age.
04:26Came of age?
04:27A stage of maturation for mortals.
04:30The transition out of childhood.
04:32Oh.
04:33That must be the reason.
04:36When I was a kid, there was an incident with tomorrow's tea and...
04:41Poof!
04:41I was instantly a teenager.
04:44I guess I never really came of age.
04:47Did you know that?
04:48He skipped part of his childhood?
04:51No idea.
04:52Gotta say, that's messed up.
04:54I see you say your aging was...
04:58unnatural.
04:59We have been angry with you for so long, Life Master.
05:03Truly, you could not have known what was needed of you.
05:07We...
05:09apologize.
05:11Never imagined my rapid aging would have consequences for anyone except me.
05:15The day you were exposed to that tea was the day our fate, and the fate of this wood, was
05:21sealed.
05:23Are you two done yet?
05:25We gotta get back to the monastery and figure out why my power's all wonky.
05:29Our powers are acting weird, too.
05:31You don't see us worrying about it.
05:33Yeah, but my powers are cool.
05:35If shaking the dumb ground or building robot vacuums was the only thing I could do, I wouldn't be bothered
05:42either.
05:42Relax.
05:44We've earned a vacation.
05:45We just stopped an undead dragon.
05:48Besides, how would we leave here even if we wanted to, Wildfire?
05:52We haven't seen anyone else.
05:54We have no way to contact the other ninja.
05:57Other ninja.
05:58Oh, wow.
06:00I...
06:00I really hope everyone's okay.
06:02We should probably head back.
06:05We just need to...
06:15Cats?
06:17Yes!
06:19No, no, no.
06:20I'm allergic.
06:21I'll swell up like a puffer fish.
06:24Or maybe my allergies are cured.
06:27This place is perfect.
06:36I got this.
06:37Not our first time facing flying creeps.
06:39Why you gotta keep rubbing it in?
06:41I don't remember anything.
06:49Yeah!
06:51I got this.
06:59Whoa!
07:02Yeah!
07:08Whoa!
07:10Whoa!
07:12Whoa!
07:12Whoa!
07:14Whoa!
07:15Whoa!
07:17Whoa!
07:22Why is this cave so wet?
07:28I don't think it's a cave!
07:31What is that? An earthquake?
07:33Oh no! Grab onto something! Grab something?
07:36Do you know how slimy everything is?
07:45It smells horrible.
07:49I can't believe I'm about to say these words, but I'm pretty sure we're in a Queelich's stomach!
07:55What's the Queelich?
07:57Enormous slug-like creatures that burrowed through the land of madness.
08:00I was briefly transferred to the decontamination chamber in the administration and had to hose off agents unlucky enough to
08:05run into one. I'd know this stench anywhere!
08:09You mean that gust of wind was a belch?
08:12Oh, gross.
08:13How did the monastery end up inside the belly of a giant slug in the land of madness?
08:18Bigger question, how do we get out? Preferably before we get digested.
08:22Only two options. So I vote we find and smell. Grab on!
08:38Oh, thank you.
08:43You're worried about Lloyd.
08:44All this new info about who he's supposed to be. It's gotta be overwhelming. Like a nightmare where you have
08:51a test you didn't study for. I wish there was something I could do.
08:55Aaron, you're the only one without elemental powers.
08:58Thanks, Euphrasia. Hub it in.
09:01I mean it's an advantage. You're the most dependable at the moment. You've never had powers and you don't need
09:07them. Lloyd will rely on you now more than ever.
09:11This thing you needed me to do.
09:14The rite of unrooting. It maintains the wood.
09:19Maintains?
09:19All realms are connected even before the merge. Like water through roots or bees spreading pollen. Source energy flows through
09:30unseen paths across every land and all people. To maintain the whispering wood is to cleanse those pathways. To sustain
09:39the connection between all life.
09:42Okay. I'm late, but I'm here now. How do I perform this right?
09:47I wish it were possible. While the rite teaches you the truth about the green ninja's elemental powers, the time
09:54has passed. One as old as you would never survive it. Your roots have spread too deep and too wide
10:01to change your current path.
10:03It would teach me the truth about my powers? I've never fully understood them. I've been called the master of
10:09power, the master of energy. Nothing ever really fit. Sometimes I didn't really fit.
10:16It is energy, but what kind? It doesn't burn like fire or shock like lightning.
10:24Would you name a flower from the shape of its seed? Know the lean of a tree before it is
10:30planted? The mystical nature of your sudden aging stunted your powers. The potential has not fully blossomed.
10:37Well, now it may never. Something is wrong with all our elemental powers.
10:43I am aware. Some of the source dragons have withdrawn their connection to the merged lands. That's why the powers
10:49of elemental masters are unreliable.
10:52Wait. Seriously?
10:55Yes. Sadly, our own source, life, is one of those who no longer nourishes the land. And so, the decline
11:03of the Whispering Wood will soon quicken. Our end is at hand.
11:07But why would... Oh no. This is my fault. I had my team summon the Arc Dragon of Focus. I
11:14was warned it might anger them. But I had no choice.
11:17Withdrawn source energy, unbalanced elemental powers. If only the rite had been performed, the power of the Master of Life
11:26might have overcome all of this.
11:28All my life, I've been pushed in so many directions. Prophecies, destiny, visions. I can't always tell what I'm choosing
11:38to do or what fate is forcing me to do.
11:42But if there's even a chance to stabilize source energy while saving this wood, then I choose to take that
11:48risk.
11:53It's not smelling any better!
11:58Are you sure this is the weight of the mouth?
12:03We're not gonna make it!
12:05Oh, yes we are!
12:06Mia, flood the stomach. Kai, turn up the heat. A little heartburn is just what the doctor ordered.
12:19Oh man, not now!
12:22I was hoping it wouldn't come to this.
12:25Goodbye, my friend.
12:26Which one of us is he talking to?
12:28Oh!
12:41Sorry, I know you love that thing.
12:44Guess I love living more.
12:49It worked!
12:50Get ready for it!
12:52Get ready for what?
12:53Get ready for what?
13:18Get ready for it!
13:21Get ready for it!
13:22Get ready for it!
13:22Get ready for it!
13:23Get ready for it!
13:23Let's go!
13:23He's gone!
13:23I don't know how messy hanging out with you could be, Jay.
13:25Don't anyone celebrate too soon?
13:29These aren't the same dragons we ran into last time, are they?
13:32They are. And they're not happy we woke them up.
13:40How am I supposed to guide us out when it's dawn in every direction?
13:44Maybe we're not supposed to leave.
13:45Where'd those cats even come from?
13:47Why does that matter? Can't you just enjoy something for once?
13:53Why?
13:57Hmm. They're a little cold.
14:01Huh. That wasn't there a second ago.
14:04But I'm glad it's here now.
14:06You guys don't think it's strange your favorite thing is pies, and then there's pies?
14:10And your favorite thing is cats, and then there's cats?
14:18No.
14:19Pies are not supposed to grow on bushes.
14:22Wild melons can't grow outside the wildness.
14:25This place is full of trickery.
14:36You got a scent?
14:39An unusual scent.
14:41Maybe it's a way out of here.
14:44Let's go!
14:54Even in the middle of nowhere, you two have enemies!
14:59Why am I hanging out with you people?
15:09Buddy, you're running out of things to blow up!
15:11Oh, come on!
15:30Gate.
15:36I can't do Spinjitsu! I can't do Spinjitsu!
15:54I'm fine.
15:55Over, under.
15:56What, what?
15:59It's what it sounds like.
16:08What now?
16:09You could try apologizing.
16:11Me?
16:12It literally chased you.
16:14Let's use their anger against them.
16:17Hey, dirt eater.
16:19I've seen bigger horns on a tricycle.
16:23Earth dragon?
16:24More like dwarf dragon.
16:35Ha ha!
16:36Man, that felt good.
16:37Working like that jogging memories, Jay?
16:39No.
16:41You two share a look and know what the other's thinking.
16:43I can't even remember how to do spinjitsu, which seems like the bare minimum to call yourself a ninja.
16:49Even that kid with no powers can do it.
16:52That's what training's for.
16:53Even we have to train.
16:54There's always room to grow.
16:57You don't get it.
16:58You don't get it.
16:59I hated working for the administration.
17:01I lost in the tournament of sources.
17:03I was only a pretty good bounty hunter.
17:06So?
17:07So?
17:08No more failures.
17:10If I'm gonna be a ninja, I need to be a great one.
17:14It's another reason I need to remember my forgotten memories.
17:18I don't know how.
17:20I don't know if it's even possible, but I have to.
17:23We'll help you.
17:29Whoa.
17:36What is this thing?
17:38Actually, I have no idea.
17:44It's definitely not normal.
17:46Well, in we go.
17:47Whoa, I'm not jumping into some mystery black hole just because you said so.
17:52I agree with Frack.
17:53There's no rush to leave this place.
17:55It has everything we need.
17:56Yeah, which isn't normal.
17:59It has to be a trap.
18:00It wants us to stay here forever.
18:03No, that's a trap.
18:05Totally.
18:06Now, where was that pie bush?
18:08The pie bush is a trap, you clown faces.
18:11Don't you see what this place is doing to you?
18:15No.
18:15No.
18:17This is for your own good.
18:28Perfect.
18:35You're the one who's not in her right mind, wildfire.
18:38You should really listen to us.
18:40Hold on.
18:42Take a deep breath and calm down.
18:44You don't get to tell me to calm down!
18:47Help!
19:14Why are you smiling? We have you beat.
19:17You two teamed up. Cute.
19:19But I always team up with dragons.
19:27Deep within the Whispering Wood is the Temple of the Green Ninja.
19:32Inside, you will be guided to perform the Rite of Unrooting.
19:35The temple is hidden even from the eyes and ears of the forest.
19:39Then, how will we find it?
19:42If you are meant to, it will call to you.
19:44But I must warn you again.
19:47The journey on which you are about to embark will be treacherous.
19:51That's not enough to stop me.
20:12Welcome to Umbra Silvis.
20:18Wait a second!
20:20Pies don't grow on bushes!
20:22And where did those cats come from?
20:25I... I don't know what came over us.
20:28There was something seriously off about that place.
20:31Thanks for guiding us out.
20:33I guess you do make a pretty good leader.
20:35My dragon heritage probably made me immune to whatever got into your heads.
20:40Ryu wasn't affected either.
20:42I may have heroically gotten us out of there, which some might say is the most heroic thing ever done.
20:49But where are we now?
20:56Friendly place.
20:58Look, over there!
21:04Maybe we can hitch a ride back to Ninjago on that airship.
21:07That's an explorer's club ship.
21:10They're probably in the middle of an important expedition.
21:12Too busy to help.
21:13Let's find another way home.
21:14I'm sure this place has tons of public transportation options.
21:30I, uh, think I dropped something back by the well.
21:34Is everything okay?
21:36Frack? Is that you?
21:39Doesn't he look like...
21:42Hi, Dad.
22:16I'll see you next time.
22:30I'll see you next time.
22:41Bye.
22:47Bye.
23:01Bye.
