☯☼🏮Ninjago: The Master of Crystal💎🏹✳

Hounddog McBrag

(In the morning at Kryptarium Prison, the ninja are awakened by a whistle.)

Main Guard: Rise and shine! Roll out for work detail! (All the prison cells open and the ninja and the inmates walk out.) 

Jay: Ugh. Work detail? (He cracks his back.) 

Kai: I didn't know you had to work in jail.

Zane: It is common for prisoners to given labor, as both a means of exercise and of promoting a responsible work ethic.

Cole: Oh. Beats staying here all day.

Lloyd: And it's a chance to show we don't mean any trouble. So no powers, okay?

Coral: (Yawns and stretches.) Especially what happened after last night. (Everyone agrees and are escorted out by the Main Guard and his whistle.) 

(Outside, the ninja board a bus. Mezmo gives Jay a threatening hiss before Jay moves to the back.)

Main Guard: Twelve aboard! Lock 'n' load!

Officer #2: Open the trap! (One inmate pounds his fist at Jay. Jay looks away nervously before Fugi-Dove jumps up at him.) 

Fugi-Dove: Well, well. If it isn't my arch-nemesis, Jay! The ninja of Lightning!

Jay: Sorry, have we met?

Fugi-Dove: Oh, you probably don't recognize me in my prison clothes. It is I, Fugi-Dove! (He coos twice.) My cry fills the night?

Main Guard: Zip it and stow it! Once a month we pick up trash along Route 22. Those who work hard, get a few hours in the sun and a nice, cold lemonade.

Cole: Mm, lemonade.

Main Guard: Those who make trouble, get nothin'. Do I make myself clear?

Cole: Crystal.

Jay: Yep.

Coral: Crystal clear. 

Main Guard: (He closes the prison door on the bus, and walks up to the driver.) Alrighty then, let's get this show on the road. Roll out!

(The prison bus drives out of prison and drives into the desert. While on the way, Fugi-Dove turns around in his seat and stares at Jay.)

Jay: Yes?

Fugi-Dove: What happened to you, Jay?

Jay: What do you mean?

Fugi-Dove: Why have you turned to a life of crime? And what does this mean for our long-standing rivalry? And how can we be enemies if we're both criminals? You're messing everything up! (He waves his wing in Jay's face.)

Jay: First, I'm not turning to a life of crime! Second, there is no rivalry, and third, you're weird. Stop talking to me.

Main Guard: (He sees a vehicle blocking the road.) Slow down. (The bus stops when they get to the vehicle.) 

(They approach an old man and woman next to the vehicle, who is Dareth and Amethyst in disguise. Dareth poors some water into the vehicle's engine to make steam come out of it.)

Officer #2: Now what seems to be the problem, sir?

Dareth: Ooh, what's that, young feller? I can't quite hear ya!

Officer #2: I said, (Louder.) what seems to be the problem, sir?

Dareth: Well, one minute me and my wife here were taking a scenic drive. Our old girl was purrin' along, and then somethin' went screwy, and she started makin' a sound, like a clunka clunka clunka. And then a sound like a chugga chugga chugga. And then she just went pow! (He falls to the ground dramatically.) And rolled to a stop!
