Gayle Gossip: This is Gayle Gossip, coming live from the star-studded premier of Clutch Powers: A Musical Life. It's the four-and-a-half hour musical biopic extravaganza that critics have universally hailed as certainly a lot. The screening—

Clutch Powers Grabs the mic from Gayle.

Clutch: Well, of course I'll give you a sound bite. I'm so flattered you asked!

Gayle Gossip: Hey!

Clutch Powers: As star, writer, and director...

Toge, Zane and Jay walk along the red carpet, stopping to strike poses multiple times, as Clutch continues talking in the background.

Jay: This new gi is chafing me.

Toge: I still can't believe you talked me into going to this dumb movie premiere. We don't even like Clutch Powers, the guy's a dick. Unlike his original character from the 2010 original Lego film: The Adventures of Clutch Powers. That guy was a true legend.

Clutch Powers: ...thing that ever happened! My hope is that everyone in Ninjago City will come out to see my movie. Actually, that's my wish!

Suddenly, orange smoke billows from the teapot in his hand, and he looks down, surprised.

Zane: Toge, Jay, I found this movie confusing. Why would Dr. Powers suddenly burst into song and dance? Illogical.

Toge: Ugh, they're called musical numbers, and they're super terrible! That big one in the middle where Clutch kept spelling out his own name in song? Ugh, horrible! I can't get it out of my head!

Zane: He kept singing to his own biceps! Why? As a Nindroid, such behavior makes no sense to me.

Jay: That's not just a Nindroid problem, they make no sense to anyone! I mean in real life, you can't just sing and dance your way out of a death trap!

Zane: Can we return to the Monastery now?

Jay: Are you kidding? The best part of any movie premiere is the afterparty! Come on, I have seriously earned some free appetizers.

Toge: Oh yeah that's why I came. Free food.

Just then, Zane's communicator starts beeping.

Zane: Break in at the museum.

Jay: Ugh, so much for appetizers. Hey, Toge, Zane! One more for the fans!

They strike more poses for the cameras. At the museum, Reflectra removes a painting from its frame.

Reflectra: Mm, yes. Shopping for art is so much more fun when you don't have to pay.

Suddenly, Toge and Jay bursts in, startling her.

Jay: Give up, villain! Just seriously, please, give up? There's this party we're trying to make it to, there's probably a guest limit ... I mean, it might be a whole wristband situation—

Toge: hey, who the hell are you anyway?

Reflectra: Call me ... Reflectra! And I've got a party for you.

She leaps down from a balcony while spinning, forming a diamond shape, and attacks the pair.

Reflectra: A party of pain!

Zane: We decline your invitation to this party, as it sounds unappealing.

He blasts some ice at her.

Reflectra: Reflectra!

She spins and redirects the blast back at Zane. Jay then tries to use his Lightning against her.

Reflectra: Reflectra!

She spins again and reflects the blast.

Reflectra: You starting to get the name? Anything you send at me, I'll Reflectra right back at you!

Toge: So you spin. Cute! Then you'll probably like this!

Toge, Zane and Jay: Spinjitzu!

They do Spinjitzu.

Reflectra: Reflectra!

She neutralizes the three.

Reflectra: I've studied your every move. I know everything you're gonna' do before you do it. There's no way you'll stop me.

Zane: Then perhaps we should do something unpredictable. Something that makes no sense to anyone.

Toge: Makes no sense? I don't get— oh. You can't mean...

Zane: Initializing vocalist.

He presses a button on his arm.

Zane: La-la-la-lo. Whoa.

Toge: If any one tells Nya about this I'm kicking their ass.

Jay: Oh, this better work.

He disables all the lights with his powers.

Reflectra: Huh? What is this nonsense?

Jay: (Singing.) C, L, U, T, C, H!

Zane: (Also singing.) P, O, W, E, R, S!

Reflectra: What? No one breaks out into a musical number in real life!

Toge, Zane and Jay: Clutch Powers, he knows he's the best!

Toge: He's a rugged superstar —

Zane: — a man of mystery!

Jay: He unveils the secret past —

Zane: — of all of history!

Reflectra: Hey, hey! Stop that! I've studied you. You never do this! This makes no sense!

She screams as they fling her into the air.

Jay: His archaeological theories —

Zane: — are almost always sound!

Toge: His torso, legs, bones, and knees —

Zane: — are just so muscle bound!

Reflectra: Stop it! The ninja moves I can deal with, but the singing is torture!

Jay: He can escape any booby trap!

Zane: But he can't think of a rhyme for booby trap!

Toge, Zane and Jay: Clutch Powers, he knows he's the world's greatest adventurer!

Clutch hologram: I work alone.

Later, Toge, Zane and Jay carry an unconscious Reflectra outside.

Zane: Hmm, I guess you can dance your way out of a death trap.

Jay: Clutch must never know about this! Now come on. If we hurry, maybe we can still grab some appetizers!

Toge: Woohoo!

Reflectra: Reflectra ...
