When Garmadon threatened to destroy the city, WE WERE THERE!

When the city actually was destroyed, WE WERE THERE!

When something that may be mildly interesting to the network arises, WE ARE THERE!

This is... GOOD MORNING NINJAGO!

"Gggggoooddd morning Ninjago! I'm Michael Strahan and this is Robin Roberts, super excited to be bringing you all the newest news!" EXCITEMENT!

"Robin, I think we're gonna have to be bring up an old favorite of ours, the Garmadon Attack Forecast, because our city is once again under attack!" ATTACK FORECAST!

"But wait a minute, Michael! This means Garmadon has gone back to his old ways, right?" WRONG!

"It appears a new mechanical menace has attacked the city! And just to make itself even more notable, it's a massive snake! What is it with all these animal-themed vehicles, Michael?"

"I'm not sure, Robin! But this new menace is even BIGGER than the Garma-Mech! Why, I bet if it slithered its way up to our news building right now, it'd be able to pluck us right out of our seats just by reaching forward!"

"Wait, what's this Michael? I'm getting word the Ninja are riding into battle alongside Garmadon!" TEAM-UP!

"Right you are, Robin! Today we're not seeing double dragons, but rather a dragon and a shark! Both deadly creatures, both super dangerous! It's a showdown of land, sea and sky, and don't any of you worry, G-M-N will bring you every single blow from our cameras still installed from Garmadon's previous rampages!"

"Right now it seems the Garma-shark is charging straight towards the bay! Don't any of you even think about going outside right now, unless you want to see what happens when a shark steps on yyyccczhhzhzhzhzhzhz-"

The broadcasting radio sparked and died as the massive vibration from the foot of the Garmashark knocked it into the pavement. The terrified couple listening to it shrieked and ran in the opposite direction, abandoning their meal in favor of trying not to find out what the Garmashark had recently stepped in.

Off in the distance, the Iron Doom let out a massive bellow. It stood with part of its lower body submerged into the Ninjago City Docks. Several buildings were already turned into blocky rubble by hand of its swords, and as it seemed to undulate and twist unnaturally to all those who hadn't run away fast enough. The behemoth's raw power caused citizens to run as fast as their rectangular legs could carry them.

"Ugh, I'm telling you, General Number Son!" Garmadon huffed as he leaned over the edge of his control panels, "Young couples always eat outside the restaurant. They don't just sit inside, no no they go outside even if its raining and eat their food there! I mean, your mother and I did that whenever were in the middle of a siege, but that at least had reason!"

"Dad!" The strained and sharp voice shot out from the other end of the receiver, "Dad come on, we got this! Let us defend the city!"

"Son, your father has put his foot down on this one! I mean, I mean just LOOK at that thing!!" Garmadon thrust all four of his hands forward, "I mean really, that's just... that's just... it's all an insult!"

"Insult? I have literally no idea what you're talking about with that," The voice stuttered, "You can't take that thing all on your own! Just look at how it's moving!"

"Son, you just don't get it, do you?" Garmadon sighed, "And here I was, thinking I'd imparted all the knowledge I had knocking around in this head of mine. Well, at least the Warlord stuff, I have to wait until you're older for some of it. But getting off track!" Garmadon growled, tightening his claw hand over the control stick, "Tell me, what was the name of the forecast that news channel you all love so much used?"
