Lloyd is upside down and using one hand to support himself.
"Focus nephew."
Wu says as he proceeds to pour some tea.
"In order to bear the fate of Ninjago on your shoulders, you must first learn to bear the weight of all of us."
Lloyd is using his feet to balance the ninja and Wu. Zane is on top of Lloyd's feet while holding Kai and Jay in his arms, and Cole is standing on his head. Cole has Wu and Shade on his hands. The boys were nervous.
"How come (Name) isn't here for this?!" "Because she said she had an errand to run." "What... could... mom... need to... do?" "Something about visiting an old friend."
Wu sips on some tea.
"Focus." "Sensei, I'm starting to think this was a bad idea." "Yeah, Sensei, he's just a kid." "In order for him to succeed, we must all trust one another." "My mom said she went through worse than this growing up."
Behind them, outside, some machinery is heard as Lloyd starts straining from holding all the weight on his feet. A wrecking ball slams into the wall, making everyone fall and land on the ground. Shade gets up the quickest and helps Wu up.
"What was that?"
The rest get up and see a builder and foreman, wearing hardhats, who unexpectedly notice the team. Dareth runs in from behind beaded doorway.
"WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!!!! This wasn't supposed to happen until tomorrow!" "Tomorrow?"
The foreman turns to the builder.
"Let me see that order."
The builder hands him the order and he looks at it.
"Oh, yeah. My bad. Sorry 'bout that. We'll be back in the morning."
They both leave. Dareth groans as he picks up one of his trophies which is bent.
"I just got these to replace the old ones." "Uh, Dareth, what is this all about?" "Well, I fell behind on some of my payments and some developer named Darnagom Enterprises is buying the entire block to put in some stupid frisbee-golf course. They say if I don't come up with 50,000 by tomorrow, the dojo is gone." "But, we already lost the Bounty. We can't lose the dojo now." "My trophies. Oh, my fakes trophies!" "Wait a minute. Darnagom? When you rearrange the letters, it spells-" "O grandma?" "Shade." "On it."
Shade smacks Jay upside the head.
"OW!" "Don't be stupid." "Garmadon!" "Right."
Jay laughs nervously.
"That would make more sense." "Um, my dad is behind this?" "If he destroys the dojo, where will we train Lloyd?"
Dareth turns to Wu.
"Any chance you got 50,000 in that teapot of yours." "No, if my friend was here I'm sure she'd lend you the money. But worry not, Dareth. You're not in this alone. We're all with you." "Did someone say 50,000-?"
Nya asked as she walks in.
"You didn't happen to win the lottery?"
Jay asked with a gasp.
"No, but I heard about Ninjaball Run!" "Ninjaball Run?" "It's the biggest road race in Ninjago, with a prize of 100,000 big ones. And it's tomorrow." "I thank you, little lady fighter, but you're talking about the most dangerous race known to man. Only the most serious of racers even stand a chance." "But didn't you just do a few upgrades on our Ultra Sonic Raider? Maybe we might stand a chance." "And I can enter with my Dragon. You did say I needed the practice." "What about Shade?" "Mom actual got some dragon to make me a ride of my own."
