The Golden Weapon

''"That's not all I'm the master of. I do a little inventing. I dabble in model building. A touch of cooking. A little poetry..." - Jay'', boastfully bragging about his capabilities

The Golden Weapon is the second Pilot episode of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu.

Plot
While Kai is brushing his teeth, he is attacked by three mysterious black ninja. After he gets thrown into the training course, Sensei reveals that they are his students. He performs Spinjitzu and gives them each differently colored Ninja suits to represent their elements: Cole, the Black Ninja of Earth; Jay, the Blue Ninja of Lightning; Zane, the White Ninja of Ice; and Kai, the Red Ninja of Fire. The next morning, they travel to the Caves of Despair to find the Scythe of Quakes. Sensei Wu warns the Ninja not to use the Scythe upon retrieval, fearing they would not be able to handle its power. After stealing back a map that contains the locations of the Golden Weapons, they enter the cave and find the first of the weapons. Upon leaving, however, they are ambushed by Samukai and his Skeleton army. While fighting the Skulkin, Jay mentions that fighting them feels like the training course back at the Monastery, and going through the motions unlocks his Spinjitzu. Not long after, the other three Ninja unlock theirs as well. When they defeat the Skeletons, they are faced with the Guardian of the Scythe, the Earth Dragon. Unable to defeat it themselves, Kai uses the Scythe despite the warnings of his teammates and defeats the Earth Dragon, the Ninja barely managing to escape. Outside, Sensei Wu is disappointed that Kai would put the others in danger by using the Golden Weapon.
