How Ninjago Should Have Been

What if the ninja weren't stupid?
The alliance keeps Krux and Acronix from jumping into time.
Wu takes in Lloyd right away, so he doesn't have a chance to unleash the Serpentine.
Zane knows how to bargain with Ronin, and if Ronin won't listen then Kai and Cole can beat him up.

The ninja don't make stupid mistakes just for the sake of plot anymore.
