Episode 2: Brides-to-Be
(The Bridge)
Kai: Sensei. I can't wait much longer! When will we be there?
Sensei: It is hard to tell. The bridge can only indicate werewolves on a full moon, and it's almost morning…
*Jay walks in still in pajamas and smiling*
Kai: *looks at Jay* What's wrong with you!? Why are you so happy!?
Jay: Cause I know we can save them! We always d- *looks at Kai and sees his eyes are drooping and is still in the same outfit from yesterday* Woah! Kai! Did you get ANY sleep last night!?
Kai: How CAN I sleep? This is too much…
Lloyd: *coming in* If it helps… I've been kidnapped and held prisoner before! I might be able to give advice on how it works!
Kai: Thanks kid… but I don't think that'll help.
Cole: *behind Lloyd, beside Zane* At least the werewolves should be returning to their normal form!
Sensei: Wrong Cole. Werewolves can stay in their form!
Kai: But I thought it was only at night cause of the full moon…
Sensei: That's what summons their form, yes!
Zane: But as long as they stay in the shadows and not exposed to the sun, they may stay in their werewolf form!
Jay: Huh?
Sensei: Zane is correct! Legends are different than myths!
Cole: Will either of them EVER speak a real langue?
Lloyd: They're saying that the werewolves turn into that form by a full moon! But just because it's day time doesn't mean they turn back to normal. They can stay werewolves as long as the sunlight never hits them!
Kai: Which is the reason they flinched and got weak when you summoned your power! They were exposed to light!
Sensei: Good observation, Kai!
Jay: So, most likely their hideout will be underground or in a cave!
Zane: Correct Jay!
Cole: Alright! Let's go burn some wolves!
(Werewolf hideout)
Conan: Master! I have a surprise for you!
Kurt: Ah! I love surprises!
Conon: *pushes four girls towards Kurt* Our robot finally spotted the prettiest girls in Ninjago!
Kurt: Indeed, they are!
Nya: Ugh! You'll never get away with this!
Conan: Oh, we already have…
Kurt: Which one should be my bride!?
Lauren: None of us! Marry someone your own kind!
Conan: We can arrange that! *shows teeth as if he will bite them*
Nya: Lauren, if they bite us we will turn into werewolves too!
Kurt: Yes! And whoever win on being my bride will get the honor of being one of us!
Abby: Nya, do you know their weakness?
Nya: No… I never read into werewolves! No one in Ninjago has seen them for-
Kurt: Silence! Conan, find someway to make these four quiet!
Conan: As you wish, Master! *grabs girls and sits two on each side of Kurt*
Ashton: Ok, now's our chance! On three! One, two, -
*Conan pushes a button and girls get locked into the chairs*
Ashton: Should've counted to two…
Conan: Now, all that's left to do is this! *puts tape on their mouths*
(The bedroom)
*Kai is sitting by the mirror, sighing to himself while the others are getting ready for bed. Cole nudges Lloyd and points to Kai. They both start laughing*
Kai: *sets picture of Ashton on the mirror, then looks down at his picture of him and Nya* Don't worry, we're going to find you guys…
Cole: Hey Kai! You like that mirror?
Lloyd: Or the girl in the picture?
*All ninja but Kai laugh*
Kai: What're you talking about?
Jay: Dude, it's obvious you like her!
Kai: Nya? She's my sister!
Cole: No Romeo! Ashton!
Zane: Maybe the problem is she's not a ninja?
Kai: I don't care if she's a ninja, a samurai, or a normal girl! The truth is-
Jay: You are head over heels!
Kai: Don't be ridiculous. She never even notices me… If I cared right now, which I don't-
Lloyd: Yep, he's got it bad!
*All ninja but Kai laugh*
(On deck, in the morning)
Lloyd: Take this you filthy werewolves! *powers his energy ball and throws it forward* That's right! Remember this next time! That you've been destroyed by the green ninja!
Sensei: *walking onto deck* Ah! I see someone is putting their power to use!
Kai: Sensei, I don't get it. Since fire reveals light, why doesn't that hurt them?
Sensei: Because! Fire is not nearly as bright as energy from the sun!
Cole: So? What? Is Lloyd going to be doing this by himself?
Jay: Yeah! Cause we clearly can't hurt them!
Sensei: Hurt them, maybe not. But stun them so they don't hurt Lloyd! That you can do!
Zane: How?
Sensei: Your powers of course! Zane, he may freeze a werewolf which allow Lloyd to go by before he breaks the ice. Cole, cause earthquakes to make them slip. Or since they're underground, you may even make rocks fall on top of them!
Jay: As long as they don't fall on us! Am I right? Haha!
Sensei: Jay, he may zap them far enough away to where they're nowhere near Lloyd! And finally, Kai! He can, he can, uh…
Kai: Exactly! You know what? I'm going to go prove I can do it on my own! The fire will light her heart once and for all! *Jumps off on top of a building*
Lloyd: Kai! No! We need you!
Cole: That kid is just always in a rush!
(Ashton's house)
*Ashton's younger brother is searching around the house*
Drew: Mom! Have you seen Ashton? *waits but doesn't hear a response* Ok then… last time I saw her she was outside with Lauren and Abby. *walks in backyard* Did they go in the woods and have a camp out? I doubt it… but might as well check! *finds octagon trees* Hmm, never seen this- *steps in and sees the Lego World* before…?
Kai: *walking by kicking rocks* I still can't believe they think I'm useless! Lloyd gets everything… *accidentally runs into Drew*
Drew: Dude! Watch where you're going!
Kai: Sorry, just on an important mission!
Drew: Well, be mindful dude!
Kai: What? You think you have more than me too!?
Drew: What?
Kai: Never mind. I'm just going to continue looking for a werewolf cave or whatever…
Drew: A what?
Kai: My sister, girlfriend, and two other girls have been kidnapped by werewolves. And I'M going to rescue them!
Drew: Oh, so your sister and three other girls? Let me help!
Kai: Ugh! No! I said I'M going to do that!
Drew: So… what are the names of the girls that were caught?
Kai: Nya, Ashton, Lauren, and Abby. Look, I don't have enough time for this "get to know you" chitchat! I have to save them!
Drew: Ashton, Lauren, and Abby? I know them all!
Kai: Are you just making excuses to join me? Look, that's really cute and all… but I have to get going.
Drew: N-N-N-N-No! Ashton is my sister!
Kai: Your sister!?
Drew: Mhm!
Kai: Fine! Just remember we're up against some leader of werewolves and his wolf army.
Drew: You know the only way to kill werewolves is with magic or silver…?
Kai: Ugh! Don't remind me… *under breath* Again… Lloyd gets everything!
Drew: So, I won't be any help against them.
Kai: Stop doubting and start believing kid! Come on, we've got a long walk.
(Werewolf hideout)
Kurt: Hmm… *strokes Abby's hair* This one will look lovely in a white dress! *strokes Ashton's face* But this one's eyes stand out like no other! *stares into Lauren's eyes* This one seems to have the purest of heart. *strokes along Nya's shoulders as she's shaking to be loose* And I LOVE how fierce this one is! What do YOU think Conan?
Conan: Why should I choose YOUR bride? You won't want any regrets…
Kurt: True. Very true! Well Conan, how you feel on picking YOUR bride after I pick mine?
Conan: That's a lovely idea Master!
*Both evilly laugh*
*Abby struggles and tries to say something*
Conan: Master, the blonde one seems to want to say something to you… you want me to remove the tape?
Kurt: Hmm… Just for a moment. I want to hear her voice again.
*Conan removes tape from Abby's mouth*
Abby: Ok, so… you said you'd NEVER let us go, but what if, get this, you did?
Kurt: *questionably looks at Abby* Put the tape b-
Abby: Wait! Now, I know what you're thinking, 'Absolutely not' but what you SHOULD be thinking is, 'Oh wow that's brilliant, yah, because then I can, like, have more time to, I don't know, write my secret romance novel' or whatever you like to do…
*Other three girls chuckle*
Kurt: Conan! This one is causing trouble! Put her in the pet room for the rest of the day!
Abby: Who are you calling a pet!?
Conan: As you wish Master… *Grabs Abby's chair and opens a gate that is filled with bats. Sets her in the middle of the room* Goodbye! *laughs*
(Bounty)
Lloyd: Sensei, should we be more worried about finding the girls or Kai?
Sensei: Kai is a brother, but it was his choice to leave… we must continue searching for the werewolves' cave!
Zane: Sensei, maybe my falcon can help us look for Kai as we continue to search for the cave!
Sensei: Ah! Thank you, Zane!
Zane: I will let all know when my falcon sees something!
Cole: Alright! Time to go kick some werewolf butt!
Lloyd: Or get bit by a werewolf… *sighs* What if my power isn't enough?
Jay: Well… on the Brightside, you'd become a hot werewolf! Chicks love werewolves!
*Everyone strangely looks at Jay*
Jay: What?
Lloyd: Sensei… if one of us IS bit by one, how do we turn back?
Sensei: Either by killing the one who bit you or with blood from the master.
Jay: Haha! Cool!
*Everyone looks at Jay*
Jay: What? Yes, it's dangerous… but BLOOD from the MASTER! That's so cool right!?
Cole: *ignoring Jay* We better make sure their teeth don't come anywhere near us! I don't want to be one of them.
Zane: SENSEI! My falcon spotted Kai! Looks like he's walking into a cave! But he has someone with him…
Cole: Who?
Zane: I am not sure… I don't recognize the other person.
Jay: He's obviously trying to form a new team against us! Duh!
Lloyd: No… Kai's selfish and impatient, sure… but he wouldn't do something like that!
Cole: Then what's he doing?
*Zane opens his system and hits a button*
*Kai's voice*: "You know what? I'm going to go prove I can do it on my own!"
Lloyd: Oh yeah…
Sensei: Zane, can your falcon lead us there? Kai may have found the werewolf cave!
Lloyd: Only one way to find out!
Zane: Alright! Setting course for my falcon!
(Werewolf cave)
*Kai's head is seen poking inside then making his way through, Drew trying to follow. Nya's eyes widen and looks at Ashton nudging towards Kai. Ashton looks where Nya is nudging and sees Kai, automatically smiling*
Kurt: *looking at Ashton* Wow! Your eyes say a lot of words. I can tell you're excited to see me!
*Lauren disgustedly shakes her head*
Kurt: Now, I need my beauty rest! *sits back onto throne and falls asleep*
Kai: Beauty rest? But it's the middle of the day. Oh well, he needs more beauty anyway! Wait, Drew, look! The girls are tied up beside him in chairs! But… there were four of them. Now there's only three…
Drew: *whispering* Abby's gone!
Kai: *looking around* Alright since everyone is at least partially asleep, we can make our way over to the girls. Let's go!
*The two stealthily make their way to the other side of the cave. Drew accidentally brushes against the hair of one wolf, Kai notices and grabs Drew to where they're out of sight. When the wolf goes back to sleep, they show up by the girls*
Kai: *rips tape off of Nya's mouth* Nya! Are you alright!? *looks to the right and sees Ashton* Ashton! *rips off tape* I thought I'd never see you guys again! Are you alright?
Nya: We're fine. For now…
Ashton: Just make sure you don't wake anyone up…
Nya: We just need to- *gasp* What was that?
Kai: What was what?
Nya: Something or someone moved behind you. Did you wake one of the wolves up?
Kai: Oh no, it's just a kid who wanted to tag along.
*Drew walks up*
Nya: *curiously looks at Drew as he's walking up* You brought jay!?
Ashton: No… That's not Jay. That's *squints as Drew finally approaches Kai* That's my brother!
*Lauren tries to talk through tape on the other side of the throne*
Kai: Oh! Haha… whoops… *goes around behind throne and approaches Lauren, then rips her tape off* Sorry… haha.
Drew: Where's Abby?
Ashton: *scared* In the pet room…
Kai: A pet room? Ha! I'll deal with that.
Nya: Kai, while you're over there, Conan has the button to unlock our chairs.
Kai: Don't worry, I'll deal with that too. *winks at Ashton and heads towards the pet room*
Lauren: This is going to be terrible.
Kai: *looking in the pet room* Woah! Who has bats as pets!?
*One wolf turns around and sees Kai and starts to growl*
Kai: Whoops… uh… Hey big fella!
*Wolf starts to bark and all the others wake up*
Kurt: Huh? What? Why have you awakened me again!?
*Wolves bark towards Kai and Drew*
Kurt: Oh! *walks towards them* You guys think you can steal my brides?
Kai: Your brides!?
Conan: *on the other side* That's right! Master Kurt gets the big ones! And YOU must leave!
Drew: But what about Abby? You don't want a bride covered in bat poop and claws, do you?
Abby: *voice* HEY!
Kurt: Ah! So, Abby is her name?
Kai: You don't even know their names?
Kurt: Their names are whatever I want them to be!
Conan: Now get out or you become one of us!
Kai: *looks towards exit, then above him and smiles* You'll have to catch me! *jumps up and grabs stones hanging out of the wall, then jumps off the wall grabbing onto a rope and swings towards the exit and runs out* See you later fur-face!
Ashton: Wow!
Nya: Wow…
Conan: Ok then, I get the little one!
Drew: Who're you calling little!? *kicks Conan's face*
Conan: *laughs* That doesn't hurt, you little baby! It- *looks down and doesn't see Drew then turns to the exit and watches Drew run out* Oh…
Kurt: You IDIOT! You were supposed to take care of them!
(Outside)
Drew: Oh yeah! We made it out!
Kai: Yeah… that's… that's nice…
*Bounty lowers and Sensei comes off as the rest of the ninja follow*
Sensei: What were you THINKING!?
Kai: Huh? Sensei? I-
Drew: Woah! Who're these guys?
Cole: Here's a better question. Who are YOU?
Drew: I'm Ashton's brother.
Jay: *pushing Cole aside* Woah! You're Ashton's brother!? That's so cool!
Lloyd: Is EVERYTHING cool to you Jay?
Jay: *turning around* Not everything… but MOST things!
Kai: Sensei! So the girls are all trapped in chairs beside Dirt-
Sensei: *correcting Kai* Kurt.
Cole: Meh… I like Dirt better for him!
*Ninja laugh*
Kai: Whatever…. So, the only way to get them out is with a button that Conan is holding. And Abby's trapped in a bat prison thing.
Lloyd: Abby!?
Sensei: Any more information Kai?
Kai: Uh, he wants to make them his brides. I know that!
Zane: But Nya is with Jay.
Cole: Yeah! And Lauren's with me!
Lloyd: Abby's with me.
Kai: And if he thinks he can make Ashton and Nya his, he's wrong!
Drew: Am I the only single one here?
Zane: No. I too feel your pain. But technically Jay is the only one with a girlfriend. Just because you like someone doesn't make them your girlfriend!
Kai: Psh, yeah Cole…
Cole: Shut it, airhead!
Lloyd: Are we going to keep talking or are we going to go save the girls?
Jay: Yeah, Lloyd's right. Let's go!
*All run in*
(Inside)
Lloyd: Hey Kurt! Hand over the girls! Or else…
Kurt: Ugh! Why do all these kids keep coming in here today!? Take care of them!
*Cole makes all the wolves fly to the top of the cave and Zane freezes them to the ceiling. Both high five*
Jay: It's over creepy wolf dude! *sees Nya and smiles* Oh… Hi Nya…
Lloyd: I got Kurt! You guys try to get the girls!
*Drew grabs button that fell from Conan's hand then tosses it to Cole*
Lauren: COLE! *hugs Cole*
*Button gets tossed around as Lloyd speaks*
Lloyd: Listen Kurt, if you want a bride so badly you shouldn't hold them prisoner! Maybe honor one of your wolves a step up and make them a werewolf and your wife. I bet they'd like that!
Kurt: You think so?
Lloyd: Sure! Trust me, I bet the all adore you! These four, however, don't! They already have others!
Kurt: Fine! Kurt will let them go.
Kai: *after pushing button for Ashton* Don't worry. I've got you!
*Both smile and go in for a tight hug*
Zane: Let's get out of here before the ice breaks!
(Bedroom)
Jay: Haha! I win again! That's 25 points for me! How about 26 to 4?
Kai: I'm tired of playing your stupid game Jay. I'm going to go get a snack.
Jay: No! I mean, uh, obviously you're just jealous…
Kai: Me? Jealous? OF YOU? *laughs*
Jay: Then I guess that means you're not scared to take me on again.
Cole: *voice* Jay! 1-7-8-6!
Kai: Huh?
Jay: Nothing! You know what? You were right! Let's go get a snack!
*Kai suspiciously looks at Jay*
Jay: Come on! Aren't you hungry?
Kai: I guess?
Jay: Then let's go! *grabs Kai*
(Kitchen)
*Set in a very romantic mood. Cole and Lloyd are standing by the back wall as Jay and Kai walk in*
Kai: Woah! What is all of this!?
Cole: We realized you were right and we weren't giving you and Ashton enough time.
Lloyd: So, we set up a nice dinner for you!
Kai: You two did all of this!? For ME!?
Cole: Well… we did have a little help…!
*Lauren and Nya walk in*
Cole: They're going to be your waitresses!
Lloyd: And Zane is making the food. Abby was in charge of keeping Ashton distracted and J-
Jay: And I was in charge of keeping YOU distracted!
Cole: I WAS going to make the food…
Lloyd: But we wouldn't allow it!
*Everyone but Cole laughs*
Kai: You guys didn't have to do all of this!
Nya: Alright then! I guess Jay and I could do it inst-
Kai: NO! I like it!
Cole: Alright! *hands Kai a bouquet of flowers* Give these to her! Good luck!
Kai: *smiling* Thanks guys.
Lloyd: We'll give you total privacy.
*Lloyd and Cole walk out of the room, but automatically open the door and peek through*
