Never Trust a Human/Transcript

(Wu tells Kai, Cole, Jay, and P.I.X.A.L. the story about how he met Aspheera.)

Wu: In the days of my father, the First Spinjitzu Master, there was peace between Humans and Serpentine, but it was a fragile peace. Humans were forbidden to enter the lands of the Serpentine. And the Serpentine were forbidden to enter the lands of men.

(A flashback is shown when Wu and Garmadon were children. Wu and Garmadon are playing with their staffs.)

Wu: I'm tired of the lake. I don't want to go swimming today.

Garmadon: What do you want to do?

Wu: I want to go that way. (He points to a wooden arrow with a snake engraved on it.)

Garmadon: That's the Serpentine valley, Wu. We're not allowed there. Father promised King Mambo, remember?

Wu: Nobody will ever know. We'll just take a quick look and come right back. Come on. Don't you want to see the Serpentine? Are you even a little curious? Hmm? (Wu and Garmadon look at the Serpentine Valley behind bushes.) Wow!

(Pyro Vipers are shown to be carrying loads, while two others are using hammers to drive a metal stake into the ground.)

Garmadon: Okay, now you've seen it. Let's go before someone-

(Wu and Garmadon are surrounded by Pyro Vipers holding swords. The two boys both drop their staffs. They are taken to King Mambo the Fifth.)

Mambo the Fifth: (Sitting in his throne.) You..are the children of the First Spinjitzu Master?

Garmadon: Yes, sir.

Wu: We're sorry! We-

Mambo the Fifth: Silence! (Mambo slithers down from his throne.) You have recklessly endangered a peace between Humans and Serpentine that has existed for millennia. Your foolishness has put me in... a difficult position.

(A young Aspheera watches the boys, hiding. Wu looks at her, confused.)

Char: They are the children of the First Spinjitzu Master, sire. We must proceed with cautiously.

Mambo the Fifth: Put them in a cell for a night. Let them think on their foolishness.

Char: Very wise!

(Wu and Garmadon are taken away by two Pyro Vipers and put in a cell.)

Garmadon: I can't believe this! This is all your fault! I'm going to tell father everything.

Wu: You wanted to go too, remember? I asked you and you said-

Garmadon: I said no! N-o! I said we shouldn't, but you wouldn't-huh?

(Wu and Garmadon see Aspheera behind the cell door.)

Aspheera: Is it true? You are the children of the First Spinjitzu Master?

Wu: Who-who are you?

(Aspheera smiles.)

Garmadon: What do you want from us?

Aspheera: I am called Aspheera. I'm training to be a sorceress in service to the king. Tell me, do you truly know the secrets of Spinjitzu? (Wu and Garmadon hesitate to answer.) For a price, perhaps I could help you. I could open this door. I know several spells already. One of them will bend steel.

Wu: What price?

Garmadon: We don't have any money.

Ashpeera: I do not speak of coin. I ask only for friendship. Who says serpents and humans can't be friends? And between friends, there must be trust, sharing. You must share the secrets of Spinjitzu with me.
