Skylor Needs A Hug ; So I Finally Read ‘Quest For Lost Powers’ (Commentary Part 5; Fire Fang)

<< Part 4

Two more chapters, and then we can move on to a different story.

THANK FSM.

I thought this one was decent a first... but that fell down the drain REAL QUICK.

Cause yeah, I got a little upset in the last chapter. Spoilers, this one is no different.

Basically, Kai's being a butt. That's the story.

His development throughout the show is basically ignored.

Let's just cut to it.

[“Oh, boy! You’re tough to keep up with,” Skylor said, panting.]

Yeah, good thing, cause otherwise you would have died!

[“Nope. I think it was a booby trap,” she said.]

“Ha! She said ‘trap’.”

[“You must have stepped on a stone that gave way under your weight.”]

It's all the noodles he's been eating the past... month?

Skylor basically called him fat.

[She’s right, he thought. But instead of gratitude, confusion and anger bubbled up inside him.]

So I do like this paragraph. That IS in character for Kai.

I'm still gonna complain about it though cause I'm awful.

Again, he KNOWS he's in the wrong. He KNOWS her being here is good. And yet he STILL CHOOSES to scream at her.

All I gotta say is, WTF?!

[“You didn’t have to try to catch up to me!” he yelled. “You don’t even need to be here.”]

You're basically saying you WANT to die, cause that's what would've happened right there had this gal not saved you.

[“Just stop saving me, okay? I’ll never get my powers back if I don’t do this myself,” Kai replied. “I don’t need you, Skylor!”]

Kailor Divorce.

This is a Kailor Divorce.

[The glare in her eyes faded and was replaced by a flicker of hurt.]

Can I just say that I want to hug Skylor?

She did nothing wrong this whole book. She's been trying to help. And this PRICK is SCREAMING at her. FOR NO REASON.

Skylor Deserved Better.

In the show AND in this book.

She deserved better.

This picture is framed like a toxic married relationship. The husband got home from work drunk on noddles, upset, tells his wife to go get him some wine from the store. She says no, and he lashes out at her.

PS, it’s good art. I’m just mad about the context.

[“Sure, Kai,” Skylor said. “Good luck trying to defeat Fire Fang on your own.” She hopped over the hole in the path and jogged back to the delivery vehicle.]

DAYUM.

She didn't even fight. She didn't even argue. She just went along with it, and up and left him behind.

Skylor, can I hug you please?

[Skylor’s the best, he thought.]

REALLY?! Cause it sure does not sound like you think that!

You literally just told her to f**k off, and you're like 'Yeah I love that woman'.

JERK.

[“Looks too easy,” he said, and as a precaution, he picked up a rock and threw it through the opening.

Whoosh! Flames shot up from the bottom of the entrance way.]

Ah, we've reached the Indiana Jones part of this story.

[“We hail you, Fire Fang! We are your loyal gang!”]

These goons just have the WORST lines, don't they?

[They’re not carrying their torches, Kai thought. So I should be able to get past them.]

Tell that to the MANY enemies you've faced that don't use fire.

Tell that to Kalmaar.

That went well cause he didn't have a torch, right?

OH. RIGHT.

[He felt especially drawn to the snake’s yellow eyes…but forced himself to look away. They’re hypnotic, Kai thought as an idea came to him.]

They are?!

I thought the Hypnobrai were the only Serpentine that had that ability.

[I need to distract him, and then get close enough to steal my power back…. Kai stepped out of the dark tunnel. “Ninjaaaaaaaaaa-go!” he cried.]

😂

THAT'S your plan?

Just charge straight in?!

10/10 distraction there. They don't expect you to just barge in!

[He twirled back and forth, back and forth, and the giant beast began to sway.]

One, that's a weird way to word Spinjitsu. 'back and forth, back and forth'. That sounds like something from Dora the Explorer. Where they repeat the motion twice. Sometimes three times. Cause they think kids are stupid.

Two...

The way that's worded.

Sounds like he's um... DOING IT with the snake.

[He wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do, but he knew he had to try.]

Maybe you should've figured out how to absorb the snake's powers BEFORE YOU BARGED IN.

Braincells? What's that?!

Oh that’s a cool design. Ngl. The picture is cut off though in the top right.

Idk if that’s intentional or what.

[The serpent’s scales became hotter to touch, and Kai could spot the fiery glow growing under them.]

Touching a hot stove. Genius.

Who cares about burn wounds?

[This fire—this fire has nothing to do with me, he thought. It’s not mine anymore. It’s Fire Fang’s. I can’t take it. I need to find it within myself somehow.]

“What a surprise.”

Didn’t they say earlier that ‘finding it in yourself’ didn’t work, and that’s why he’s doing this?!

Thanks Ninjago for wasting my time. (I still love you.)

I mean I’m definitely not against that, it’s just the way it’s handled here. Makes the Pyro Viper revenge pretty pointless.

Continued in Part 6 >>

My thoughts

What if Fenwick wrote the entire history of the ninja?

Let's imagine that the First Spinjitsu Master asked the Cloud Kingdom to monitor the life of all the worlds, and especially the life of his sons.

Since he is the Creator of all worlds, the scribes from the Cloud Kingdom cannot write the history of God himself, as well as the history of his sons.

The scribes of many generations tried to fulfill the request of the FSM, creating conditions or people in the lives of Wu and Garmadon, so that all worlds would be in order.

Until Misako gets pregnant.

Several meetings were held, during which the inhabitants realized that the scroll of Lloyd's life was written on its own and scribes could not write something in it.

One writer with the ability to prophecy said that Lloyd is the Green Ninja, whose appearance many generations of people have been waiting for.

Cloud Kingdom was in a panic.

Knowing what a terrible mother Misako can be and Garmadon's problems, they decided to write the story of the four elemental ninjas, just like in the FSM prophecy.

And they entrusted this position to their best scribe, Fenwick.

It was tasked with preparing people who could save Lloyd from the possibility of becoming as evil as his father.

And Fenwick did it.

The Ninja were able to re-educate Lloyd and give him the long-awaited love, care and support.

But the way in which Fenwick wrote ninja stories has shocked many scribes.

Zane's self-sacrifice, Dr. Julien's two deaths, Jay's adoption, Lilly's death, almost all ninjas turning into snakes, poor serpentines, Garmadon's self-sacrifice, Lloyd's injuries, ghost Cole.

When they read Kai and Nya's story after Ray and Maya's disappearance, they realized that they would have to fix a lot.

Fenwick thought that fire and energy were very similar, so he decided to make similar conditions for the Smiths, thinking that Kai would be quicker to empathize with a person with the same issues.

And he succeeded.

Fenwick was the Master of Letters, so he could write the history of all the ninjas at the same time, so when he was in prison, a whole group of writers tried to finish the fifth season and destroy Morro, who, due to his connection with the Highest deity of the World of the Dead, did not succumb to any pen of Cloud Kingdom.

The sixth season was written by several people and was led by a fan of Jaya.

But due to a scribe's mistake, Nya died and the people forced Jay to change his wish.

The seventh season was written by people who wanted to bring Ray and Maya back to their former lives, as well as resist the Hands of Time.

Krux and Acronix received the power of time that constantly rewrote their scrolls on its own, making it difficult for the Cloud Kingdom to rewrite their history.

Before the eighth season, a scribe wrote his version of The Lego Ninjago Movie and the person in charge of Lloyd's story took designs from there and wrote seasons 8-10.

From season 11, the story of the ninja began to be written by Nobu and several people, which is why the seasons became a little childish, and the ninjas were not serious.

Fenwick is still in prison and continues to scream in pain, what is being done to his creations, the ninja stories that he wrote.

ninja’s music taste

Kai: Rap, dubstep, occasional classic rock. Listens to things like The Beastie Boys and Black Eyed Peas. Mostly listening to music while working out/training. Never gets the aux cord unless he’s playing black eyed peas because “Beastie boys gets annoying after the 20th play in a row” quote like half the team lol.

Jay: Mid 2000′s bubblegum pop, techno pop, and 80′s power ballads. Shit like Marina and the Diamonds, The Ready Set, Owl City, and like... Meatloaf. You won’t catch him listening to any of it though because he’s so chronically embarrassed about everything he likes he just steals one of his teammates playlists when he has the aux cord. If you get close enough to the bathroom while he’s in the shower, though, you’ll probably hear him singing Hollaback Girl. He’s also totally made mixtapes for Nya.

Cole: Canonically listens to soft rock. Matchbox 20, P!nk, Weezer, R.E.M. Probably also really likes Pink Floyd and The Beatles. Listens to dad rock out of rebellion against his do-wop father. Speaking of do-wop, if you try to play it around him he will scream, and the only times he’ll listen to it is the rare instances where he’s feeling homesick. It will usually be the songs his dad used to sing to his mom when he was little.

Zane: EDM and like... ELO. Tally Hall and Miracle Musical. The aux cord is hooked up to his body so techincally he always has it. He’s also usually the one in control of it because he listens to requests. Any time its his turn, at least once, he’ll play Caramelldansen and strobe his eye LEDs in rainbow colors like the first spinjitsu master intended. Likes songs that get philosophical. Someone showed him Mr. Roboto once and its now unironically his favorite song.

Nya: Paramore, Halestorm, Florence + the Machine. Mother mother sometimes. Realistically she can listen to a lot of genres, but will mostly listen to things that hit home emotionally or lyrically. Kai’s music taste has a special place in her heart because he’d play it around her growing up a lot, so they have a lot of songs they bond over. She also listens to Marina and has caught Jay singing songs under his breath multiple times. She thinks its endearing.

Lloyd: Oh god this edgy son of a bitch. MCR, Linkin Park, Will Wood, System of a Down. Incredibly dramatic and edgy. Kai caught him chilling with a contented expression while he had headphones in once and he stole an earbud to see what he’s listening to only to get an earful of Psychosocial by Slipknot. Usually just plays Green Day or MCR when he has the aux cord, though.

Sensei Wu: Classical. Or at least, that’s the front he puts on. No one knows if that’s what he actually listens to or not. He never shows any preference.

Garmadon: Heavy metal. He’s constantly rocking out to Black Sabbath, even when un-evil’d.

Misako: Ella Fitzgerald, Doris day, the enka genre. Very heartfelt songs. Caught Jay listening to Open Arms by Journey once and was very enthused about it (and Jay wanted to die about it).

#3: “I've done more for the entire comic book industry than anyone in 30 years!”

While he's not exactly as famous as Stan Lee or Jack Kirby, Mark Millar is a well known name in the comic book community. He's worked for both DC and Marvel, as well as some third party companies. He's written iconic stories that have taken the superhero genre and comic book medium to a darker level with stories like Civil War, Old Man Logan, and Superman: Red Son (their quality may vary, but the problems they had were buffed out when they were given film adaptations). He's also the creator of several original characters like the Secret Service and Kick-Ass. Then again, he was also behind Trouble (and a lot of other bad comics), but nobody's perfect.

Whether you like him or not, this is a man who's been writing for comic books since he was in high school, so it's safe to say, he knows a lot about the medium. But Astruc just has to be the one to say he knows more when Millar proposed the idea that all unique superpowers may have been thought of.

Yes. He really had the gall to say that his show is that groundbreaking to an experienced comic book writer.

Now, we could debate what kind of superpower or creative idea could be seen as “unique” or “original” for hours, but that's not the point I am trying to make. But I have an idea on how to rebut this argument. Astruc claims that his show has created more unique superpowers than the entire comic book industry in the past three decades? I'm going to show how the superpowers aren’t as original as he thinks they are by listing off examples from the past two decades.

Ladybug's Lucky Charm – The Tornado of Creation from Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu (2011), the result of the Ninja combing their powers, which uses the area around it to create a new object or weapon to take down whatever threat they face (like turning random debris or rubble to create a giant slingshot. Yes, that really happened).

Cat Noir's Cataclysm – Kitazaki/Dragon Orphnoch Kamen Rider 555 (2003) has the power to turn anything he touches into ash.

Rena Rouge's Mirage – Neopolitan and Emerald's Semblances from RWBY (First used in 2014 and 2015 respectively). Neopolitan can use her Semblance to create illusions that shatter like glass when touched, while Emerald can induce hallucinations for a single person at a time.

Carapace's Shelter – Steven Universe (2013) can use his shield or bubble to defend himself and others against enemies.

Queen Bee's Venom – Ty Lee from Avatar: The Last Airbender (2006) uses chi-blocking attacks to paralyze her opponents, as well as prevent them from using their bending powers.

Viperion's Second Chance – Tracer from Overwatch (2016) can use her Recall to briefly jump back in time, reloading her weapons and healing any injuries she has.

Pegasus' Voyage – Cisco Ramon/Vibe from The Flash (first used in 2016, though the comic version first appeared in 2011) can create small portals called “breaches” to travel through.

Ryuko's Wind, Water and Lightning Dragon – Laxus and Juvia from Fairy Tail (both first showed their powers around 2010 in the anime) can transform into electricity and water respectively.

Bunnyx's Burrow – Professor Paradox from Ben 10: Alien Force (2008) has the ability to travel through time and create portals to other dimensions.

King Monkey's Uproar – Cicada, a villain from The Flash TV series (first appeared in 2018, with powers that differ from his comic book debut in 2001) has a dagger with the power to nullify the powers of other Metahumans.

Multimouse's Multitude – Slapback from the Ben 10 reboot (first appeared in February 2019, eight months before the debut of Multimouse) has the power to duplicate himself, with the clones becoming smaller and more dense in the process.

Hawkmoth's Akumatization – The Sorcerer from Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja (2012) uses his “stank” to transform innocent people into monsters. In addition, he usually uses it on people who are feeling negative emotions (and unlike Hawkmoth, he has Tim Curry voicing him)

Mayura's Amokization – Daiki Kaito/Kamen Rider Diend from Kamen Rider Decade (2009) has the power to summon other Kamen Riders to fight for him.

Hell, I can keep this up with every akumatized villain too, but then this post would take forever to finish.

The point I'm making is that except for Miracolonizer's Liberation (the power to free someone from any restrictions to let them reach their full potential, only it's used by a villain to erase any morals the victim has that keep them in line instead, basically driving them crazy), basically every power seen in Miraculous Ladybug has been used before.

The problem isn't that the powers featured aren't original. What makes a certain superhero or superpower interesting is the way it is used. The Black Canary from Arrow had a sonic device that allowed her to emit her trademark sonic scream instead of it being a natural superpower. Does that mean that Marc Guggenheim invented that power?

Of course it doesn't. So why would Astruc think just because he placed an interesting spin on some preexisting superpowers, that means he “invented more unique superpowers than the entire industry”? That is an incredibly egotistical way to think for a show that's only been on the air for three seasons. And I think it's pretty clear this show isn't exactly Avatar.

But if you really want to watch something with “unique” superpowers, watch Ultimate Muscle. A character in that show has the power to literally transform into a giant shoe. Yeah.

Yes im writing autistic zane cuse im starved for good rep ok (i apologise profusely for my spelling i am a person whos first language isint English) also disclaimer im autistic im amking this for my own enjoyment- sligth glacier shipping

* he didint understand that he was autistic untill Jay found a autisim switch behind some cables.

* they do not understand social ques what so ever and completely relies on the other ninja to explain when someones being sarcastic.

* didint understand how the others culd wear their gis without wanting to explode.

* only has like three safe foods

*one of them is a very specific tea he had a major melt down over when they canceled(wo managed to find someone who still sold it and it just so happen that theres always a box or two in the kitchen), will only eat chrunshy food or soup.

* hates when ever whe team changes their style of gis cuse they have to adjust to new dumb textures and look.

* special intrests history, and birds.

*their favorite bird is ofcourse a falcon but after that ducks.

*hyperfixasions true out the years how tea is made, street food, the first spinjitsu master, the history of english letters (specifically w), carots, mythology and wedding cakes (for no other reson then cole showed him difrent ones and he was then stuck)

* stimming inclueds alot of rocking and jumping, flappy hands, rubbig his face and arms, claping, snapping, making pop noises, sometimes screaming, so much chewing and hitting his head.

*dosent understand gender or sex at all just very agender and very ace.(he/they/ze)

*sensory issues mostly surounsing tutch and hearing, loud and high pitched noices are literal hell, as far as chlothes go they only realy wear big chuky wool sweaters over long sleeved t-shirts.

*Cole always makes sure there is findget toys or chewlery somewhere when they're on misions, he is also the one who will boy Zanes favorite snacks after a bad day and watch old disney movies with him.

It's been forever since I did one of these.

PG-13 Ninjago Pilot Season Episode 3!!!!!!

We start off with Kai walking through Four Weapons on his own, back in his old clothes. There's no one around, but he hears the hammer banging in the blacksmith shop.

Kai jogs in, excitedly calling, "Nya!"

Turns out there's no Nya there. It's Samukai, who throws a pair of knives at Kai and he gets pinned to the wall as Samukai saunters toward him, a third knife in his hand. Kai tries kicking and breaking free, but screams to know where Nya is and what Samukai did to her.

Just as Samukai goes to stab Kai, he's slapped awake.

Yeah, another dream, but it was Jay who woke up Kai, because the new kid slept in and they need to go. Mission today to get the map, so they need to haul ass.

Kai gets up and dresses, still a little drowsy, and asks about breakfast.

No breakfast.

Now that he's waking up for realsies, he has ANOTHER question: how are they getting there?

Cole barks that they're taking the carriage and tells Kai and Jay to hurry the hell up.

Kai jumps up, excitedly asking if they're REALLY taking a carriage, like RIDING IN A CARRIAGE, and Jay gives a small smile and shrug.

And we cut to the ninja pulling a carriage as Wu meditates, Cole in the front with Jay, Zane, and Kai behind him, Kai remarking that when Jay said they were taking a carriage, this was not what he was thinking at all.

Jay chuckles and admits that it at least got him out of bed, right?

Kai groans and changes the topic:

Where and how did Wu find these three?

Cole bites that if it weren't for Wu, the four of them wouldn't be caught dead together. To completely answer Kai's question, though, Wu found Cole twice before Cole decided to go with him; he'd been testing himself physically and got offered the student plan to Wu's spinjitsu academy.

Jay backs Cole's story, even though there are parts he's not saying, which he should say now that they're a team. Cole barks that Jay should focus more on pulling the carriage instead of running his mouth.

Jay groans that he's just trying to help their new brother feel welcome and explains to Kai that he was testing an invention and Wu was there when he crashed.

Before Kai can ask Zane, Wu tells him(Zane) to run and scout ahead.

Zane obeys and parkours out of the carriage, racing ahead of them.

Jay gives it to Kai up-front: they don't know where Zane came from. One day, Wu just left and came back with him. They've tried asking Zane about it, but he's had a seizure every time, and it always leaves him in terrible shape afterwards.

Kai wonders if that's what has him acting so weird, but Wu shouts for them all to stop and hide the carriage.

Kai sighs, glad to not be running anymore, but Jay shushes him as they hide the carriage and hide behind some rocks next to Zane.

In front of them are the caves of despair, having been given the name because of all the randomly falling rocks the Scythe of Quakes causes. Samukai and his army are mining for the weapon, but Wu's old man memory kicks in as he sighs that they're in the wrong spot.

Even so, the team needs to be extremely careful. Not only is the landscape easily disturbed, there are skeletons EVERYWHERE, and a dragon.

Cole's eyes widen as he echoes, "Dragon?" But there's one more thing they need to be careful of:

Kai, who's already raced ahead.

Zane drops his head onto the rock, Cole facepalms and shakes his head, and Jay remarks that that’s one way to get to the map, as he’s just rushing in head first.

New plan: Keep Kai from getting them all killed, THEN get the map and the scythe.

The ninja agree and rush out, Wu staying behind to cause a distraction for the skeletons to make their mission easier.

With Kai, he, quite poorly, sneaks around the skeletons with the rest of the ninja following with much more stealth, even taking down a guard that spots Kai.

They catch up to Kai on the tower, and Zane smacks him over the head, and contemplates kicking him off before Jay stops him and gestures for him to get the map when Samukai has his back turned.

Zane does just that, tying a rope to one of his shurikens and using it to get the map.

He hands it to Cole, who examines the map and confirms what Sensei Wu was saying. The skeletons are digging in the wrong place because they were reading the map upside down, so the weapon is actually of the other side of the caves.

Kai states that he’s on it and begins leaving, but Cole snags the back of his gi and tells him to hold his horses, unless he wants to get caught and possibly killed.

Before Kai can protest, the ground shakes, rocking everyone and everything and making the ninja fall off the tower. The rest duck for any kind of cover because it starts raining boulders and no one brought a steel umbrella. Maybe we get a visual gag of Kruncha and Nuckal hiding under the conveyer belt that was being used to mine and Nuckal is gnawing on a doughnut shaped rock he found because he doesn’t want to be turned into bone power.

The quakes stop and we return to the ninja, Cole sighing as Zane and Jay hug each other, still trembling; Jay just got some anxiety triggered and Zane has never dealt with an earthquake before.

Kai isn’t reacting because he vanished, having raced to the other side of the caves.

Cole groans and tells the two scaredy cats to keep up, though Jay groans/cries out for what Kai’s problem is because he’s always in a rush to get himself in trouble.

Speaking of Kai, we cut to him as he tries to open the stone door to the golden weapon, only stopping when he gets a rock thrown at the back of his head.

He turns around and sees Zane with another rock at the ready.

He doesn’t get a chance to throw it because Cole reminds Kai to not run off because, unless he’s forgotten, they’re a team, and whether he likes it or not he’s a part of it, so no more running off and doing things on his own.

Kai groans that he’s got it and they all get the door open.

The cavern is alight in warm gold and the ground is hella cracked and broken down, all courtesy of the Scythe of Quakes, which rests grip/handle first in the mouth of what looks like a dragon statue, one that’s covered in dirt and sand.

The ninja are all amazed, and Jay almost shouts that what he’s seeing is very cool, almost because Cole covers his mouth and shushes him before he can be heard by anyone outside.

Kai goes to grab it, but Zane pulls him back and hands him a blanket to use to grab the scythe with; these things are sometimes too powerful for mortal hands, so best to be safe than sorry.

Kai wraps the blanket around the scythe and tries to pull it out of the dragon’s mouth, but find he can’t because it’s too heavy.

Zane gives it a try and can’t either.

Jay takes a swing, calling both of them paper handed(which means they’ve never lifted anything heavy like an engine or something like that) as he tries and eats his words. Too heavy.

With a groan, because the statue looks real as hell, Cole gives it a try.

And the scythe slides out easy as a knife through cake.

Some magic energy stuff swirls around Cole and causes the ground to shake one last time, just a gentle little quiver, and then finally stop.

Cole gets down and looks down at the weapon with wide eyes, Jay asking what all of that was Cole shakes his head, but doesn’t think on it, because they need to get back to Wu.

Speaking of Wu, he's fighting a hard as he can to defend himself against a bunch of skeletons, some fighting him as their own distraction, the rest leaving to get to the caves.

The ninja all wander through the caves and wonder where the exit is, at until Cole takes the lead and starts to show them the way outside. Jay asks if he used to study caves, but Cole denies it, admitting that caves always freaked him out as a kid.

He ends up leading them back to the room the weapon was stored in and notice the statue is gone.

Kai's equal parts annoyed at being led in a circle and confused at the statue vanished, offering that it crumbled into sand.

No time for theories because they come face to face with Samukai and the rest of the skeleton army.

ACTION TIME!!

The ninja all jump into action, fighting the skeletons while defending the weapon. Despite doing well, they still get beaten., even Kai, but he's new, so it's forgiven.

Jay, however, is thrown against the wall and slumps to the ground as skeletons surround him. His vision is blurry, but he also seems flashes of blue lightning. His body recharges and he stands lokking down at his feet as he does a circle with one foot and continues to spin with the momentum.

Cole sucker punches Kruncha away, which sends him FLYING, and races over to Jay to try helping him.

No need, because we and the other ninja are Jay is spinjitsu- ing and knocking away skeletons.

The ninja are surprised, Kai asking how Jay is doing that.

Jay calls back in his spinjitsu mode that he just saw lightning and spun with it.

With one more good turn, we transition into an anime-magical girl-esque transformation fully of fun visuals of lightning spiraling up Jay's body and then shooting outward as he plants his feet into the ground. His gi turns blue and the gold emblem turns to the lightning one we see him wear in the original, the storm cloud-looking skull with lightning in place of its teeth.

The skellies back off in fear while the ninja are very impressed and shocked.

Samukai gives no damns and orders his men to kill the ninja and take the scythe.

Zane walks ahead of the ninja and agilities his way to the skellies, spinning with the snowflakes he sees.

It also transitions into Zane's transformation, where he lands back first in snow and ice covered water. We follow him in the water as he falls upside down, though the camera turns until he's right way up. The dark water becomes lighter as snow or ice whirls around him starting from his ankles to his head. He keeps rising until he breaks through ice, revealing that his gi is now white and his emblem is the same as the show version, the ice sharp/snowflake looking wolf/dragon.

Zane spinjitsus the skeletons as well, even tag teaming with Jay, who smiles and laughs while Zane smiles with his eyes.

While he holds the Scythe of Quakes, Cole and Kai struggle with the skeletons. Jay and Zane are too busy beyblading to notice, but, out of options as Kai is almost knocked unconscious, Cole takes the scythe out of the blanket and slams it into the ground handle first.

The ground shakes and cracks even more. The skeletons are blasted back and Cole's transformation happens.

The earth aroind him rises over him ant then breaks.

... Same black gi, but at least he has his earth emblem now, the earth/stone-esque stone/mask. And he has orange eyes, which are a subtle hint to his true potential. While everyone's stunned, Kai spots Samukai and charges toward him, shouting his name.

Skeleton archers shoot at Kai, but he turns, once, twice, thrice, many times, flames growing around him as his own spinjitsu begins to work.

We dive into the flames and see Kai running, literally catching fire on his gi and causing it to burn, the black turning red. His emblem to the flaming lion.

The arrows meant to pepper him do nothing and Kai gets out of his sponjitsu out with sword drawn.

Samukai, always ready for a round 2, draws his knives.

The two clash, Kai doing much better than he did in Four Weapons, this time being on the offensive while Samukai is left simply blocking him as much as he can while Kai demends to kniw where Nya is and what was done to her.

The other ninja do much better as well, Cole alternating between his normal scythe and the golden scythe, Zane getting higher jumps and better agility, and Jay going much faster than he usually does, circling around a group of skeletons and then running at and through them once he's going fast enough, to incapacitate them all.

Samukai eventually kicks Kai away and gets gets on the offensive as well, the two semi-evenly matched.

Well, at least until he looks up and behind Kai and pushes him back, slowly backing away.

The other skeletoms do the same and Samukai retreats.

Kai begins to gollow him, but Jay stops him, telling him not to worry because they got the weapon and are one step closer to saving this Nya girl.

Kai supposes so, and the team takes a breather, Cole removing his hood to breathe better and re-wrappong the scythe in the blanket, mentally patting himself on the back for not losing anyine of getting them all killed.

That relief VANISHES when he hears breathing over his a a broken skull falls on his head.

He looks up and his face drops and pales, freezing in place.

The other ninja are too bust boasting to notice, but Zane is using his thinking cap for a second.

Wasn't there supposed to be a dragon guarding the weapon.

They hear a rumble behind them, and Kai turns, telling Cole to be more careful with the scythe.

Jay follows and gasps, Zane doing the mannequin challenge and freezing in a pose.

It was not the scythe that did that, and that statue that moved wasn't a statue.

They just pissed off one of the elemental dragons.

Cole scooches back before slowly rising to his feet, weapon in his hands.

The dragon watches and growls at him even more.

Kai asks what they do and Zane stays frozen, Jay has an even better idea, one of his best ever:

"RUN! RUN LIKE HELL!!!"

The team break for the door, but the dragon is faster and smashes its head against the ground, sending them all back as the ground shakes.

Rocks fall just as they see Wu coming racing toward them, the rocks blocking them off from each other.

The Earthe dragon snarls and circles the entrance, but Cole, using his new, super slick, earth powers, leads them to a tunnel they took earlier.

The dragon gladly follows.

The team sprints away as the dragon races after them, roaring and snarling after them.

Cole looks back and continues running, even shrieking at the fact he's being chased by a real living dragon.

Zane, Jay, and Kai are all panicked as well, Zane screaming, Jay babbling and making random noises, and Kai shouting.

We get a gag of Cole rounding a corner, still shrieking and hilding the golden scythe, followed by Zane, who we hear really use his voice for the first time as he screams/howls, Jay right behind him as he shouts, sorry if this is hard to read for everyone, "WHYISTHEREADRAGON!?SENSEINEVERSAIDANYTHNGABOUTADRAGONSOWHYISTHEREADRAGONINEVERSIGNEDUPFORTHISTHISISNOTOKAYWHATTHEHELLISGOINGONWHYISTHISHAPPENINGIAMNITOKAYWITHTHIS!!!!!!!!!" and Kai finishes the train as he screams and scrambles after them all, shouting for them to wait up.

The dragon rounds the corner as well, shaking the ground as it runs.

They eventually find their way to an exist and leave the caves, though the dragon still follows them out.

Kai, thinking quickly, takes the scythe from Cole and smashes it blade first into the ground, much to everyone's objections.

It shakes the ground and Kai enough to make the dragon retreat and avalanche of rocks to occur(a rock slide?). The ninja are still for a minute before screaming and leaving again, spinjitsu-ing away until they're back near the carriage.

They look back at the carnage and let themselves breathe for real, congratulating each other on a job well done.

That's when they see Wu scowling at them, and he asks what they were thinking.

Kai tries to salvage this operation and shows that they got the scythe.

Wu's glad for that, but they still USED the weapon and almost got themselves killed, expressing disappointment in both Kai and Cole for not thinking before acting.

Cole takes it, because you don't talk back to Sensei Wu, but Kai still defends himself in saying they were surrounded by skeletons and needed a way out, and they got the weapon, so he shouldn't be complaining.

Wu spells it out for them: if they just took the weapon and left, everything would've been fine, but since they used the weapon, they attracted the attention of the dragon, which has been known to attack on sight.

Wu drops ot and commends them for a job well done, upon seeing the weapon for himself, seeing they learned spinjitsu and seeing the map Zane nabbed, and tells the ninja they'll head back to the monastery after a little bit of rest.

The ninja agree, save for Kai, who's staring in disbelief and confusion as Wu pulls Cole aside, the earth ninja explaining what happened in the caves.

Jay walks up to Kai and pats him on the shoulder, advising that Kai really shouldn't talk back to Wu, because the guy could very easily kill him, if he really wanted.

Kai asks how a cool guy like Jay is here with a teacher's pet like Cole and... Zane, who's saying, 'fuck my safety and wellbeing,' and walking and climbing on the rocks that crashed down and almkst killed them all.

Jay shrugs and admits it's something you get used to, but it's worth the time.

Kai politely doibts it and just hopes he can save his sister.

Jay perks up at this, asking if she has a boyfriend, if she likes blue, all that jazz.

Kai grabs him by the collar and pulls him close, growling at him to back off.

Cole pulls Kai off of him, just on time, too, because Zane was sprinting over to dropkick Kai, and warns that they can't be tearing at each other, not when the other three weapons need to be found.

Kai concedes, but adds one more thing they all need to understand:

He'll stay, but only until those weapons and Nya are found. After that, he's gone.

Cole, already done with him, snarls, "Good."

Wu calls them all over and they huddle around the map as Wu informs them that the next weapons are the shurikens of ice, and they're close, but they need a boat and supplies, and need to return to the monastery.

The team agree, and ready themselves with the carriage, Cole and Kai glaring at each other before they leave.

The episode ends with the ninja running to returning to the monastery.
