Previously on a Twist in Reality
They all step into their lockers and slide down the chutes.
"Ooh, I want one of those!" Jay squeaked.
"We don't even go to school." Nya pointed out.
"Yeah... well, if we ever do."
"Oh brother!" Kai snorted putting his head in his hands. "You just want to go to school so you can have a locker chute?"
Jay simply responded by sticking his tongue out; the master of fire returned it, and then tackled the lighting ninja.
"You see what I was in charger of for months?" Lloyd asked Sensei Wu as the two elemental masters rolled on the floor, shouting and pummeling each other.
Sensei Wu knowingly shook his head.
-POPCORN BREAK-POPCORN BREAK-POPCORN BREAK-POPCORN BREAK-POPCORN BREAK-
"Break it up!" Nya growled as she yanked Kai away from Jay.
"Come on ,Nya, I was about to win!" Kai whined, struggling in his sister's surprisingly strong grip.
"Just sit down... and. Watch. the. Movie!" Nya grunted as she pulled the resisting master of fire back to his seat.
Cole offered a hand to Jay who gladly took it and seated himself.
Kai looked ready to lunge until Misako spoke up. "Sit down or you'll both be scrubbing the deck of the Bounty with toothbrushes for the next two weeks!" Her voice was so venomous that for some reason, neither ninja doubted she would indeed make them.
"Sorry." Kai muttered under his breath, and Jay shot him a triumphant smile.
Misako glared at Jay ,and he shrank. "Sorry." He meekly whimpered.
As the ninja slide down and change into their ninja outfits the computer hums to life, revealing the mechs.
Computer- Ninja computer system initiated
The ninja arrive in their warehouse, and all shout as they board their mechs.
Lloyd- Ninja team shout out your call sign! Kai light it up!
Kai- Fire mech! so Ninja!
Computer- Fire mech ignited.
Kai- Take it away ,Sis.
Nya- Water mech, ready and standing by! Zane!
Kai- Come on!
Lloyd- Your turn buddy!
Zane- Ice mech, Loading... Loading... Loading...
"Okay... I'm just gonna say it, Zane, movie you definitely needs an upgrade." Jay groaned.
"Well movie you needs to stop being scared of everything!" The ice ninja shot back.
"Take it back!" Jay shouted.
"You first."
Jay growled at Zane, and the ice ninja glared back.
Lloyd- Ready Jay?
Jay- Ready! Wait no not rea- Ready!
Nya- Cole wanna kick Garmadon's butt?
Cole- Earth mech-
Computer- Turn tables 33 and third RPM
Cole- ready and standing by!
Lloyd- Green ninja, ready and standing by
The mechs began to get ready to leave.
"I want one!" Nya shouted. "Kai, can we get one?"
"Ah, Nya, I couldn't build a working mech to save my life... Ask Jay!"
"I'd be happy to help you build one ,Nya."
"In other words... Anything to spend time with me?"
"You know it!" The lighting ninja grinned as Kai rolled his eyes as dramatically as possible.
Lloyd- All ninjas, hit it!
Lloyd's mech spews fire and they all take off.
"Build me one too." Lloyd ordered, his jaw dropping to the floor.
Lloyd- alright ninjas follow me!
Jay- As long as we have these mechs, we're unstoppable!
Zane- If we were the beetles, you would be John, you would be Paul, you would George, and I would be their computer!
Wu snorted while Garmadon and Misako chuckled.
The rest of the theater gave them odd looks, and Garmadon shook his head.
"A music group from the sixties, way before you were born." Dareth supplied quickly
The ninja nodded in understanding
As the mechs begin attacking the crab army, the crowds cheer them on
Lady- We love you green ninja!
"What about the rest of us?" Asked Cole, furiously. "They all cheer on Lloyd."
"I make sure you guys get credit!" Lloyd shot back.
"Movie you doesn't..."
Garmadon smirked. "He's definitely a Garmadon!"
"Dad, what's that supposed to mean?"
Garmadon continued smiling but returned to watching the movie.
"What's that supposed to mean, Father?"
Lloyd- Jay you take the air!
Jay- Ten-four ,good buddy
Lloyd- Nya, Water
Nya- It's a dangerous and fascinating environment!
Lloyd- I know right? Kai, Zane, and Cole you guys take down town.
Kai- We're already here ,Man! I'm taking some heavy fire!
Cole- Hang on Kai; I gotcha covered! Have you heard my latest track? It's a smash! *Cole's mech smashes a few crab goon vehicles*
"Hey, corny puns are my gig!" Jay shouted tossing a piece of popcorn at Cole.
The baffled master of earth shot him a glare.
"You're acting like it was actually me that said it!"
"Your face equals you."
"Don't think I won't pun-"
"Shut up both of you!" Nya growled, not at all ready to break up another brawl.
Kai- Thanks ,Cole!
Lloyd- Jay, you got bogies on your six!
Computer- you've also got them on your three, one, seven, five, six, eight, nine, and two!
Jay screams as a crab goon fires at him.
Crab goon- Too close for missiles! Switching to crabs!
The Goon fires crabs at Jay's mech window.
Garmadon was sitting with one hand on his forehead as he shook it with a smirk.
"What exactly was that supposed to accomplish?" Skylor asked with a raised eyebrow and one hand over her mouth to cover the smile.
"Other than the fact that the movie me needs more fire power, and a new career?" Garmadon retorted, effectively shutting the master of amber up.
Jay- Agh!
Goon- get your affairs in order lightning ninja!
Jay- Agh! I gotta charge up my super-sonic canon bolt! Come on, charge! Charge! Hurry up! Charge! *Continues repeating Charge! in a panic* Nya!
Nya- Wahoo!
The ninja continue to fight in their mechs against Garmadon's forces.
Kai- Yahoo! Bring it! Zane, you are the man!
Zane- Yes, I'm a normal human teen.
Jay leaned into Zane's ear and whispered not so conspicuously "Upgrade!"
A hint of annoyance flashed across the nindroid's face as he put a hand on the lighting ninja's face and pushed him away.
Lloyd- Nice work guys! I'm going after Garmadon.
A crab goon is working on knocking the school bus from earlier off the overpass.
Kid- Please help us!
Lloyd- class-mates... Hold on!
He targets the crab goon with missles and the explosion knocks the bus off the overpass.
Lloyd- Aw nuts!
"Umm... Learn to aim!" Jay shrieks from where he had jumped into Zane's lap.
Zane rolled his eyes before dumping Jay to the floor.
"Ow." Jay groaned standing up.
Zane merely glared at him, still slightly irked about the upgrade comment.
Lloyd grabs the bus with his mech and lowers it to the ground, receiving cheers of excitement along the way.
Kid- Thank you ,green ninja!
Another kid- You're our hero! I want to be him when I grow up!
"Aww, how sweet!" Misako grinned.
"Indeed." Pixal agreed consuming yet another mouthful of popcorn.
Kai- Hey ,Lloyd, your dad- uh- I mean uh- Garmadon's almost at the mayor's office!
Kai face-palmed at the mistake. He couldn't place his finger on why, but it was slightly embarrassing, even though it wasn't really him.
Lloyd- On it!
Garmadon- Mwahaha
Lloyd- We've got you surrounded Garmadon!
Garmadon- Too slow green ninja! You can't catch me!
"Famous last words." Dareth mused.
Garmadon- Where am I? Am I over here? Or I'm over there!
Garmadon's shark mech slinks between the buildings in an effort to hide from the green ninja.
Lloyd- You are right behind that building; I can see your shark tail sticking out!
Garmadon- Oh... Where's Garmadon now? Am I over here-here-here-here or over there-there-there-there? It's like a house of mirrors in here.
"Really? I mean really?"Garmadon asked rubbing his face with an embarrassed sigh. He was slightly thankful when no one responded.
Lloyd- Do you think you're hiding right now? Do you actually think I can't see you?
Garmadon's shark head pops out from behind the building
Garmadon- If you can see me, why don't you shoot me?
Lloyd shoots the shark mech.
Garmadon- Ow! That was like in my kidney!
"Open mouth, insert foot." Garmadon sighed. "My motto nowadays."
Lloyd- Why do you want to conquer Ninjago so badly?
Garmadon- Because there's something very- very special here.
Lloyd- What?
Garmadon- I'm gonna let the walls down for just a second, green ninja.
Lloyd- Go-go on
"Oh no..." Cole gasped.
"What's wrong?" Misako asked in worry.
"Sappy alert!" Cole cried.
"You're right!" Kai groaned immediately sticking his hands over his ears. "Lalalalalalalala, I can't hear anything! Cole, can you hear anything?"
"Nope, I can't hear anything! lalalalala."
Wu rolled his eyes smacking Kai with his staff while Garmadon handled Cole.
They both sat rubbing their heads and enduring the glares of everyone else in the room.
Garmadon- about sixteen years ago, I lost something I should have never given up.
Lloyd- What-what is it? It's okay, you can say it.
Lloyd waited for someone to say something about the scene, but no one did. They all had their eyes glued to the screen, his mom throwing her arm over his shoulder and pulling him into a tight hug with tears sliding down her cheeks... Now he was embarrassed.
Garmadon- I had this guitar in college, and I traded it stupidly for like, a jacket, or something!
Lloyd- That's what you were referring to?
Garmadon- Yeah, what else would I be referring too?
Lloyd- I don't know! Maybe something else! Think about it! Are you sure there's not any other sort of connection you have to the city? Nothing?
"Moment ruined." Sighed Zane, picking the last of his popcorn out of the bowl and then shaking it upside down in dissapointment.
The bowl dissipated in a flash of light and was replaced by another one the next instant.
Zane grinned and dug in, only to be surprised when Pixal grabbed a bit of his popcorn and shot him a wry smile.
Garmadon- There is someone in the city- I love very much!
lloyd- Yeah?
Garmadon- Yeah, I remember when I first laid eyes on him.
Lloyd- go on.
Garmadon- The last time I saw him, I guess about sixteen years ago too.
Lloyd- Yeah?
Garmadon- I was just an irresponsible kid.
Lloyd- Uh huh.
Garmdon- This guy who made probably the best sushi I ever had in my life. You never knew what was coming next, and you didn't even order! It was one of those places, where you don't even get a menu!
Lloyd references the word that means that if you don't chose, the cook does, and Garmadon mistakes the obscure word for the name of the restaurant.
Lloyd- Just to clarify, nothin-nothing else- If you really racked your brain- There's no other connection?
"Here we go again." Kai groaned.
Garmadon- Yes, there was a boy, that I had in my life.
Lloyd- What-what happened to your child?
Garmadon- He was bald, had no teeth, couldn't chew, always crying, couldn't walk, couldn't even walk, I mean like what am I going to do with this kid. I don't want a hairless-
Lloyd- Shu- Shu- Shut It! Zip. * He repeats as Garmadon carries on*
Lloyd in anger hits the fire button.
Garmadon who had lost his voice and dropped his popcorn, let his jaw hit the floor.
"I have nothing to say to that..." Garmdon groaned as he finally hid his face and recovered his voice.
"Then stop interrupting the movie ,Brother." Wu sighed.
"Well I felt I had to say, something in tradition of this ridiculous movie." Garmadon shot back.
"Don't make me hit, you." Wu growled, raising his staff with intent to smack his brother with it.
"Shutting up now." Garmadon cowered, shooting a nervous glance at his brother.
