Episode 3: Conflicts
(Bedroom)
Jay: What about… wait for it… a quadruple date! Huh?
Kai: So… a group date?
Cole: But what about Zane?
Zane: Oh, that is quite alright. I don't need to join.
Lloyd: *sighing* I don't want to leave you out though…
Jay: Wait guys! I have an even BETTER idea! Wait for it… A blind date!
*Everyone questionably looks at Jay*
Jay: We can each try to find Zane a date!
*Alarm goes off*
Kai: Hold that idea Jay. We've got trouble.
(Bridge)
Nya: Werewolves were found at Mega Monster amusement Park!
Kai: As much as I respect you Sis… I don't see any werewolves on the screen.
Nya: They're in their human form.
Jay: Maybe they're just there to have fun?
Lloyd: How can you tell they're not just normal people?
Nya: Here! Watch this! *clicks buttons under screen* Bridge, can you give us a live stream on Mega Monster Amusement Park?
*Screen switched from picture to live video*
Nya: Take a close look at their eyes. If it's dark or light shines
directly on their face, their eyes glow!
Cole: She's right!
Nya: Aren't I always?
Jay: Yep! You sure are! *smiles at Nya*
Lloyd: Alright let's go!
Drew: Can I come?
Zane: I don't know if that's a good idea.
Drew: Aww come one! Why not!?
Cole: It's too dangerous for someone inexperienced!
Drew: Didn't you see me kick the werewolf in the face!?
Kai: Sorry kid, maybe some other time.
Drew: Ugh…
Zane: *to Lloyd* Sound familiar?
Lloyd: Hey, at least I had a reason!
Jay: Whatever you want to believe!
*All ninja but Lloyd laugh*
Lloyd: *puts mask on* Let's just go…
(Amusement Park)
Cole: Alright team, remember to keep an eye out for glowing eyes.
Kai: But it's so bright out. What even would they be doing here?
Lloyd: Looking for more brides?
*Everyone laughs*
Zane: Hold on. Look at him! *points to a man walking around with girls by his side* He seems familiar.
Jay: I think that's Kurt!
Kai: No kidding! He's as ugly in human form as he is in wolf form!
Cole: Doesn't look like they're hurting anybody. So, what are we supposed to do?
Zane: Maybe if we bring in the girls, it will trigger him and we'll find out why they're here.
Kai: *holds sword up to Zane* Threaten Ashton and Nya to be in danger again and you may not live to see the light of tomorrow!
Zane: Noted…
Lloyd: Hold on Kai. Zane might be onto something! Maybe we shouldn't use the girls, but we can find someway to make him reveal what they're doing.
Jay: How are we supposed to do that?
Lloyd: Well, Kurt really likes himself right? Maybe if we get him to brag enough,
he'll say why he's here!
Cole: Alright, sounds good! As long as no one gets hurt.
(Girls' room)
*Ashton and Lauren are sitting on a bunk with cards while Nya and Abby are sitting by a table with checkers pieces*
Ashton: *bored* Got any 3's…?
Lauren: Go Fish… Got any Kings?
Ashton: Go Fish…-
Abby: There, got another one kinged.
Nya: Nice try! You just allowed me to take your other king!
Abby: Aww…
Lauren: So, Nya, how long have you and Jay been a thing?
Nya: Oh, I'd say maybe two years, but it wasn't official for a while. So I guess a year and a half?
Ashton: Aww!
Nya: But, who wants to hear about ME…? What about you guys?
Abby: We're all single.
Nya: I wouldn't say that.
Lauren: Why?
Nya: What about the other ninja? You guys like them, right?
*Everyone looks at Ashton*
Ashton: What?
Nya: Nothing. *looks at Abby and Lauren* It's not just her you know?
Lauren: What do you mean?
Abby: She means you like Cole.
Lauren: No! She means you like Lloyd…
Ashton: Ok! Anyways…-
Abby: At least I talk to Lloyd!
Ashton: Lauren! You got any 7's?
Lauren: I don't want to give him the wrong idea!
Nya: Hey Abby! I just got kinged! Your turn!
Abby: You know what? Let's have a bet!
Lauren: Agreed. Whoever gets the guy to hold their hand first wins!
Ashton: *whispering to Nya* You and Jay win…
*Ashton and Nya laugh*
Abby: It's on!
Nya: Oh dear…
Ashton: Guys? They aren't even here right now!
Lauren: Where are they?
Nya: At Mega Monster Amusement Park to deal with werewolves.
*Lauren and Abby look at each other then rush out the door*
(Amusement Park)
Kurt: *seeing a werewolf costume* Wow! They definitely got THAT wrong…!
Kai: Meh… It's pretty ugly, so I'd say it's accurate.
Kurt: Huh? *turns around and sees ninja* YOU! I mean, who're you? You know what real werewolves look like?
Lloyd: Nice try Kurt! We know it's you!
Kurt: Who's Kurt?
Cole: Guys, are you sure we've got the right guy?
Zane: *scans Kurt and when he reaches his face, Kurt's eyes glow* Positive!
Kurt: Alright! You got me! But I ain't causing any trouble.
Kai: Oh yeah!? Prove it!
Kurt: I'm just taking these girls out so I can-
Lloyd: Decide who will be your wife?
Kurt: How did you know?
Kai: You kidnapped MORE girls!?
Kurt: No stupid boy! These are other wolves! Meet Luna, Maya, Midna, and Arctic!
Jay: Guys, I believe him. Nya and I have come here to get to know each other too!
Cole: I think I found our group date spot!
Kai: No way! This place isn't romantic enough…
*Kurt starts to tiptoe away*
Jay: How would YOU know what romance is like? *laughs* Besides, this place would be more fun!
Kai: Sure, but if we want them to enjoy kiss- I mean THIS! We should at least show them we care!
Cole: *laughs then stops* What shows we care more than showing them we want to have fun?
Lloyd: GUYS! KURT'S LEAVING!
Zane: I've got him! Ninja…- *freezes Kurt's path* GO!
Lloyd: That was close… Nice job Zane! *looks at Kai, Cole, and Jay* Look everyone! I know these girls are important to you, but we hardly know them! We-
Cole: Which is why we're planning this… to get to know them!
Lloyd: Don't interrupt me! Anyways… We shouldn't just focus on them. What about the rest of Ninjago? What's more important? Getting a girlfriend or all of Ninjago? When you know the answer, let me kn-
Jay: Technically, I already know Nya! So, I've already gotten a girlfriend. So… haha… YEAH! I win!
*Lloyd angrily looks at Jay*
Jay: Sorry… You can continue…
Lloyd: No! I'm done! You three have lost your faith and worthiness for this team! Let's go Zane…
(Behind a booth)
Lauren: Did you hear that? Lloyd is done with you! So, I'm most likely to win!
Abby: He didn't say he was done with ME! He said he was done talking!
Nya: *grabbing their shoulders from behind* Ah-HA! Got you!
*Abby and Lauren scream*
Nya: You two are crazy! Lloyd's right, you know! You need to be focused on the other things.
Lauren: Tell that to Ashton! *points to Ashton, who is looking over the booth trying to watch the ninja*
Nya: *sighs* Let's just head back to the bounty…
*All girls turn around and start walking, but run into human Conan*
Conan: Where do you think YOU'RE going!?
Abby: LLOYD!
(Other side of booth)
Lloyd: ABBY!?
Jay: *mocking Lloyd* "We shouldn't just focus on them. What about the rest of Ninjago?"
Lloyd: I am! I'm not trying to win her affections! She's in trouble!
Kai: Excuses excuses…
Cole: Sorry Pal, but you're going to have to deal with your feelings so you can see how WE feel!
Lloyd: Guys! Come on!
Ashton: *voice* KAI!
Kai: *turning around* Ashton!?
Lloyd: See!
(Behind booth)
Drew: *jumping down in front of girls* Sorry Conan. You'll have to deal with ME first! *looks at girls* RUN!
Conan: Silly boy! You can't hurt me!
Drew: Nobody. Calls. Me. LITTLE!
Conan: When will humans leave us alone!?
Drew: When will you leave US alone! *turns around and looks at girls, who are still huddled together* Why're you still here!? I told you to run!
Sensei: Ninja-GO! *jumps in front of Drew*
Drew: HEY! This was supposed to be MY fight!
Sensei: Everybody to the ship. NOW!
*Everyone grabs the rope and climbs up*
(Kitchen)
*Everyone is sitting in silence, all with angry faces*
Cole: *after a few seconds* That's it! I'm going outside and eating my food on the deck! Of course, someone could join me if they wanted… *starts to look towards Lauren, but sees Zane start to stand up. Cole angrily looks at him, shaking his head* Alright, I guess I'll be by myself. Better for me, I guess…
Jay: *playing with his food* Yeah, I'm bored! If you don't mind, I'm going to go play video games. *leaves*
Nya: Yeah… I've got to go work on some upgrades for my samurai suit. *leaves*
Zane: I, too, have work to finish. *leaves*
Lauren: And I think I'm just going to go watch the sunset before it ends… *leaves*
Abby: And I'M going to go get some rest… *leaves*
Sensei: But everyone is supposed to be working together.
Kai: To be honest, I'm not sure we can work together anymore. *leaves*
Drew: I'll just go train to be a solo-fighter… *leaves*
Ashton: And I should keep an eye on my brother. *leaves*
Sensei: What just happened!?
Lloyd: We… uh… we… *sighs* Got into a fight.
Sensei: *sighs as well* You all are a team. You must work as one, no matter the circumstances.
Lloyd: I tried to tell them Sensei! I guess they wouldn't listen.
Sensei: Tell me everything!
Lloyd: Well, it started before Nya told us about the werewolves at the park. We were all…-
(Door outside kitchen)
*Ashton starts to close door, but is grabbed by hairy arms. One arm wrapping around her, the other covering her mouth*
(Morning in kitchen)
*Everyone but Ashton is at the table, still in silence*
Drew: Wait! Where's my sister!?
Kai: Ashton's gone!?
*Lloyd rolls his eyes; not surprised Kai is freaking out over this*
Nya: She wasn't in the room last night…
Lauren: I thought she was sleeping somewhere else cause she was mad.
Jay: Do you know where?
Abby: I haven't seen her since dinner last night!
Sensei: We must find her!
*Ninja all stand up pulling out their weapons and putting on their masks. They look at each other, sigh, and everyone but Kai and Drew sit down*
Kai: If the rest of you don't care, fine by me! But I'm still going to look for her! No matter what you all think! Cause, unlike you guys, I care for her!
Lauren and Abby: Awww!
Drew: Same for me!
Kai: No, you can't come.
Drew: Are we seriously playing this again!? Come on! She's my sister!
Kai: Fine!
Drew: Let's check the footage on the cameras!
Kai: Good idea.
(Bridge)
*Watching through videos from last night on the deck*
Kai: I don't see anything…
Drew: Me neith- WAIT! Go back!
*Kai rewinds*
Drew: Ok pause it right… NOW!
*Kai pauses*
Drew: Look! There's Ashton! And it looks like something is grabbing her…
Kai: Hairy arms…? A WEREWOLF! Conan must have snuck aboard with the rest of us last night!
Drew: You think he took her back to the cave?
Kai: Hmm… Werewolves ARE dumb, but I don't think they're dumb enough to keep their hostage in the same place they did last time…
Drew: Well, we should tell everyone.
Kai: No! They don't care, remember?
Drew: Yeah, you're right. Let's go… I'm going to need a weapon this time!
Kai: Ok, you can have… *looks around the room* Uh… *picks up forks* silverware…?
Drew: Seriously…? That is so… COOL!
Kai: Alright. *puts mask on* Let's go save your sister!
(Later, on deck)
Drew: Yeah! We looked everywhere! Underground, in different caves, you know! Stuff like that.
Cole: Obviously you two can't do ANYTHING!
Jay: Yeah! You've failed to help "on your own" TWICE! *laughs*
*Everyone starts arguing*
Sensei: STOP!
*Everyone looks at Sensei*
Sensei: You all have failed your lesson.
Zane: Our lesson?
Lauren: Even Abby and me?
Sensei: No, but you should learn from this too! Nya, land us below at my brother's.
Nya: Aye aye Sensei!
(Garmadon's house/dojo)
*As everyone is coming in*
Garmadon: Ah! Brother! You made it!
Cole: I don't get it Sensei… Why are we here?
*Ashton walks in from the back*
Sensei: You all had to learn to work together. I had Garmadon take Ashton, hoping you all would find a way to work together! You've been fighting so much.
Jay: Ninja are SUPPOSED to fight!
Sensei: True. But not each other…
Drew: But we saw the werewolf arms on the video!
Garmadon: *pulling out two sticks that has hairy arms and hands at the end* Fake!
Kai: So you made us- *looks at other ninja* well… ME, go on a wild goose chase when she was right under our noses the whole time!?
Sensei: Correct.
Cole: *turning to Lloyd* I'm sorry we wouldn't listen to you! I'll try to do better!
Jay: So will I!
Kai: I can't make any promises…
*Everyone laughs*
Kai: Just kidding. I yelled at you guys a lot… and I'm sorry for that.
Zane: Even though I did nothing, I apologize too!
*Everyone laughs again*
Lloyd: Thanks guys! I'm sorry for getting onto you so much…
Cole: Meh, we needed it!
Sensei: Ah… That's more like it!
Drew: The good thing is, we're all safe!
Sensei: For now…
*Kai looks at Ashton, then looks back at the ninja. They all nod. Kai smiles and runs towards Ashton*
Ashton: Why do I always get tied up…?
Kai: *laughs* I don't know, but we're going to try to prevent that!
*Both laugh and hug, then separate holding hands*
Abby: Wow. I guess Ashton wins the bet…
Lauren: She wasn't part of the bet! It doesn't count!
Lloyd: Bet? What bet?
Lauren: Oh we had a bet that whoever holds hands with-
Abby: With a werewolf would win!
Lloyd: Isn't that dangerous?
Abby: You're right! Wanna help me practice?
Lloyd: Uh… *smiles* sure!
*Abby and Lloyd walk off holding hands and Abby turns around smiling back at Lauren*
Lauren: Ha. That girl really knows her game…
