Ninjago: A New Approach
Episode 1: New World, New Enemies.
(In Ashton's backyard)
Lauren: Toss the ball to me!
Abby: I got you! *tosses ball to Lauren*
*Ball misses and rolls towards Ashton, who is distracted on her phone*
Lauren: Ashton! Can you grab the ball?
Ashton: Huh? What ball?
*Ball rolls past Ashton into the woods*
Ashton: Oh, THAT ball! Sure, I'll get it!
*Stands up and walks in the woods*
Lauren: I bet she won't find it… *laughs*
Abby: You're on!
Ashton: *voice* Hey guys! Come here!
*Lauren and Abby shrug and follow Ashton in the woods*
Abby: You found the ball?
Ashton: No… but I did find THIS! *points to a bunch of trees fallen in an octagon shape*
Lauren: Ok. And?
Ashton: I just thought it was cool!
Abby: Sure. I guess. Now we can just-
Ashton: Wait! Look at this! *sticks hand through middle of the trees and it disappears*
Lauren: Woah! Did you just…?
Ashton: Mhm!
Abby: Let me try! *sticks hand through, then her head, then walks into it*
Ashton: No wait! We probably shouldn't-
Lauren: And… she's gone.
Ashton: We should go get her, shouldn't we?
Lauren: That sounds like a good idea!
*Both nod and walk into portal together*
(Ninjago City)
Lauren: *looks down at her hand* Ahh! My hand! It's… it's… it's…
Ashton: *looks at Lauren and screams*
Lauren: *starts to look at Ashton* What-… AHHH!
Ashton: We're… We're… We're…
Both: LEGOS!
Lauren: Ok! Stay calm! We know where our portal is, so we can go back at any time! Let's just find Abby and get out of here!
Ashton: Agreed! I'll go this way, you go that way!
Lauren: Sounds good!
*Both walk in opposite directions*
(In the middle of the street)
Voice: Look out!
Ashton: Huh? *ducks and sees a motorcycle fly over her with a ninja in blue riding it and one in red running behind*
Kai: Ugh! Jay! Sorry, he's a little *officially looks at Ashton* clumsy… *smiles*
Ashton: *giggles* I can see that!
Kai: So… uh… I've never seen you around this part of town… haha. What… uh… what brings you here?
Ashton: Oh, I guess I'm new! Just looking for a friend of mine.
Kai: You're new!? Do you have a place to stay!?
Ashton: No actually. I just-
Kai: PERFECT! I mean, uh, it's not perfect that you don't live anywhere, just perfect cause you can come stay at mine and my friends' place for a while!
Ashton: Thanks, but I actually have-
Kai: Alright! Our place is just that way! I have to find my friend. So, uh, see you later? *runs off*
Ashton: Uh… bye?
(Ninja headquarters {The bounty})
*Kai's running around fixing everything*
Sensei: Ah! I see someone here finally understands chores!
Lloyd: Hey! I was in charge of chores last week and I didn't get a compliment!
Jay: I know that look! Kai's not doing this for US, he's doing this for a girl!
Lloyd: Huh?
Zane: Kai is making everything look perfect for a girl he wants to impress!
Cole: Nice work Romeo! *laughs*
*Knock at the door*
Kai: She's here already!?
*Nya walks in*
Kai: Awww, dang it!
Nya: Wow, you always make me feel SO welcome here brother!
Kai: Sorry, I'm just-
Jay: NYA! *runs up to Nya* He's expecting a girl!
*Everyone laughs and then the door knocks again*
Kai: *Runs to open the door and sees Ashton and smiles* Hey! This is my place! And those are my friends and sister! *points everybody out*
Ashton: I actually brought some friends too, you know!
Cole: That's Kai's Juliet!? Haha! *singing* Kai's heart is on fire! Kai's heart is on fire! Kai's heart is on fire! Kai's heart is- *sees Lauren walk in and automatically stops and drops his jaw*
Ashton: This is Lauren and Abby!
Jay: *still talking to Nya but looks over at Ashton and smiles* I call dibs!
*Nya and Kai both angrily look at Jay*
Jay: What!?
Lloyd: *walks over to Abby* Hey, you haven't had much attention. So, I'm Lloyd! *does spinjitzu into green ninja outfit* The green ninja! *does spinjitzu again into golden ninja outfit* And the golden ninja!
Kai: *mumbling* Show off…
Abby: *giggles* I'm Abby! The, uh, non-ninja!
*Abby and Lloyd both laugh*
Zane: I do not get the joke… how is that funny?
Lloyd: It's just funny, ok!?
Kai: *to Ashton* So, would you like a tour?
Lauren: No, I think we're g-
Ashton: Sure!
Abby: But Ashton, we-
Ashton: You guys don't have to go.
Cole: If it helps, I'll join the tour! *winks at Lauren*
Lauren: *smiles and rolls eyes* Ok, fine!
Kai: No! But- ugh!
Lloyd: Can I come?
Jay: Me too!
Zane: I would like to join!
Abby: Well, if I don't go I'd be left out huh?
Lloyd: Yeah, come on and join us! *grabs Abby's hand and pulls her over*
*Abby and Lloyd look down and realize they were still holding hands, blush, and let go*
(Bedroom)
Cole: And THIS is our bedroom!
Lauren: Are WE going to stay in here?
Nya: No, you're going to stay with me!
Jay: Wait! Where's Kai!?
Abby: Ashton's gone too…
Lloyd: Of course. Sorry guys, we'll have to pause the tour for a second.
(On deck)
Kai: *smiling* Isn't this the best spot?
Ashton: Yeah! Especially cause of the sunset. I love the colors!
Kai: Well, if you like shades of red, check this out! *does spinjitzu*
*Everyone else comes out and Cole grabs Kai*
Cole: Sorry to interrupt, but you know we're supposed to be giving a tour, right?
Kai: Yeah, I just, uh, couldn't find you guys! You kinda disappeared… haha!
Jay: *looks between Kai and Ashton* HEY! I called dibs!
*Nya slaps Jay*
Jay: I meant dibs on the deck… haha!
Nya: Yeah… Right…
Abby: Well, this isn't awkward at all…
Zane: Kai, why not stick around with all of us?
Kai: *sighs then looks at Ashton* I'll be right back. *brings the other ninja inside*
Lauren: Wow! The red one really has the hots for Ashton!
Ashton: His name is Kai! I mean, uh, what…? I don't see it… the red one is just, red? Haha.
Abby: Mhm…
Ashton: Hey! Lloyd clearly likes Abby! And Cole likes Lauren!
Lauren: They don't LIKE us! They just want to get to know us.
Ashton: Whatever you want to believe…
Abby: What about Zane and Jay?
Ashton: I don't know… Jay has Nya though.
Lauren: Two girls, one heart!
Ashton: Huh?
Lauren: He clearly likes you AND Nya!
Abby: Wow, that's just wrong!
Lauren: I don't get it cause we JUST met them! Now they're all head over heals!
Abby: Especially Kai!
*Lauren and Abby laugh*
Ashton: You guys are so hard on him! He's just showing me around. Nothing big!
Lauren: Oh honey… it's more than that… it IS big!
(Kitchen)
Kai: Is it THAT hard to give us space?
Lloyd: Kai, knowing you… you NEED someone else there to watch after you guys.
Kai: *quickly stands up* I do NOT!
Cole: Come on Kai! You can't doze off cause of this girl.
Zane: Indeed. You should focus on the needs of others! Not yourself.
Kai: Technically, I am!
Jay: How!?
Kai: I'm focused on Ashton's needs! Cause SHE need ME!
Lloyd: She never said that.
Cole: Kai, you just need to calm d- *The girls walk in* Hey! Lauren! What's up!? I made dinner and you can sit here by me! *sits Lauren beside him and a lit candle is in between them*
Ashton: *whispering to Lauren* Yep… just wants to get to know you… *laughs*
Cole: Here! Try this! *hands bowl to Lauren*
Lauren: What is it…?
Lloyd: I wouldn't eat that if I were you!
Cole: HEY!
Zane: Here, try this. I feel you will be more delighted with it. *hands a different bowl to Lauren*
Lauren: Uh…
Cole: Back off tin-can!
Jay: You can't blame him Cole. No one likes your cooking.
*Everyone but the three girls laugh*
Abby: Ok, we'll just go find another place to eat. So…-
Cole: Good idea! We can split up and go to different restaurants to show you guys!
Kai: Yeah! I know this really good-
Abby: I meant alone… as in just Ashton, Lauren, and me!
*Ninja all sigh*
Nya: Can I come?
Abby: Sure!
Nya: Great! I already know where we should go! Follow me.
*Girls all walk out*
Jay: Ugh! Way to go guys! You scared off our females! I blame Cole!
Cole: ME!? Zane's the one who made it awkward offering Lauren HIS food too!
Zane: Lloyd participated in that as well.
Lloyd: Leave me out of this! Kai's the one who ran off with Ashton starting the awkwardness in the first place!
Kai: What!? It was going perfectly until you guys all showed up! Jay's the one who said something last before they all decided to leave!
Jay: Uh, which you ALL laughed at!
Sensei: *walks in and sighs* Enough!
Ninja: Yes Sensei.
(Nice restaurant)
Lauren: WOW! This is SO much nicer than your bounty!
Ashton: Except there are no beds to sleep on!
*Everyone but Abby laughs. They turn around and see Abby laying on one of the booth couches*
Abby: I wouldn't bet on that!
*All laugh again*
Nya: Table for four please!
Ashton: So, there's nothing spicy here… right?
Nya: If you don't like spicy, why are you with my brother?
Ashton: First of all, I'm not "with" him! Second, hot and spicy are two different things!
Lauren: Yeah yeah yeah… so, what're we eating?
Nya: Whatever is on your mind!
Abby: Huh?
Nya: You'll see!
(In bounty by the bridge)
Kai: "Kai's the one who ran off with Ashton starting the awkwardness in the first place" Oh yeah!? Well, at least I'm closer to her than you are to Addie! Or whatever her name is! I'll show them! Underestimating me-
*Bridge starts beeping*
Kai: Huh? *looks at map* Oh no… EVERYONE! COME QUICK!
Lloyd: *running in* What is it!?
Cole: Do we get to fight!?
Jay: This can't be good…
Zane: I sense the trouble too…
Kai: Look! Trouble has been spotted at The Waterway Star!
Cole: That's where Lauren is!
*Everyone angrily looks at Cole*
Cole: What? I meant the others too! They were implied…
Lloyd: Whatever. We just have to find out what this is…
(Restaurant)
Nya: See! The waiters here are robots. They can read your minds and know what you want to eat.
*Robot reads Lauren's mind and then chicken pops out of its body and hands it to Lauren*
Lauren: Wow! That's-that's incredible!
Ashton: MY TURN!
*Robot hands ice cream to Ashton*
Nya: Ice cream for dinner?
Ashton: *eating ice cream* Don't judge me!
Abby: I think I'm next!
*Robot starts to scan Abby, then pauses and its eyes turn red*
Abby: Uh, what's going on?
Lauren: Nya, please tell me that means they're about to put on entertainment.
Nya: I've never seen this before…
Ashton: I think WE are its entertainment! RUN!
*Girls all try to run out but door locks. Wolfs come in, one turns into a werewolf and starts to hover over the girls*
Werewolf: Our master will be happy to see you!
Abby: I thought werewolves were supposed to be hot…!
*Window on roof breaks and ninja fall through*
Abby: LLOYD!
Nya: JAY!
Ashton: KAI!
Lauren: COLE!
*Sensei follows after*
Girls: SENSEI!
Zane: What am I? Invisible?
Lauren: *smiling* Sorry! Hey Zane!
*Zane smiles and Cole gives him a death stare that he doesn't see*
Werewolf: Aww! A love fest! I'll be happy to ruin it! By taking *grabs four girls* THESE four to Master Kurt!
Sensei: *under breath, gasping* Master Kurt!?
Kai: Oh no you won't! FIRE! *blasts fire onto werewolf*
*Werewolf laughs and the wolves pile onto Kai*
Werewolf: Any other volunteers to try to stop me!?
Lloyd: LET. THEM. GO!
Werewolf: Aww, now why would I listen to you!?
Lloyd: Because I can do THIS! *uses golden powers onto werewolf who hesitates for a second*
Werewolf: Let's go boys! We'll finish this later!
*Werewolf and other wolves run out of restaurant. The were wolf still carrying the girls*
Jay: No! They took Nya!
Cole: Yeah, they took everyone else too, small mind!
Lloyd: Uncle, do you know where they went?
Sensei: That was Conan… Second in command for the werewolves. I'm afraid I haven't been there in years, and they move locations every other year.
Kai: But they took my sister and my girlfriend!
Zane: Your girlfriend?
Kai: Not the right time for smart remarks Zane! Ugh…
Sensei: I feel like the girls can handle themselves! We will look for them tomorrow. My feet are tired.
Cole: But Sensei-
Sensei: No buts! We shall rest up to prepare.
Jay: WHAT!? They have Nya and you just want to REST!? Is this a joke to you!?
*Sensei turns to Jay with a defensive look*
Lloyd: Sensei, Jay's right! We shouldn't just wait and expect something to happen.
Sensei: In order to win, we need-
Cole: Yeah… we need patience. Let's just go guys…
