Official Description
“The past is our guiding light – or our journey into the future will be shrouded in darkness.” – Master Wu.
The ninja are rebuilding the Monastery of Spinjitzu. To preserve the Legacy of Spinjitzu for generations to come, Master Wu is overseeing the making of a mural that depicts some of the most defining and epic moments in the history of Spinjitzu. Like the time Earth Ninja Cole used his Earth Driller to break into Kryptarium Prison to help Warden Noble take down the big Stone Warrior and Killow… Get ready to rock and roll!
Plot
Cole, driving his newly rebuilt Earth Driller, gets called to fight the Giant Stone Warrior in Kryptarium Prison. Before Cole arrives, some police officers are facing the Giant Stone Warrior on their own. The Stone Warrior easily defeats them and moves to attack the Warden, before the Earth Driller bursts through the ground. Cole fights the Stone Warrior, accidentally letting Killow and Ultra Violet out of their cells.
Killow and the Stone Warrior try to destroy the Driller, before Cole, inspired by the song "The Weekend Whip," spins incredibly fast. Killow is thrown back into his cell and crashes into Ultra Violet, but the Stone Warrior still attacks. Using his swords, he catches the Driller just as it bursts out of the ground. Cole is once again inspired by the song and turns out the driller, throwing the Giant Stone Warrior back into it's cell. Cole jumps out of the cockpit triumphantly, before being booed and jeered by the rest of the prisoners and being confused by Noble glaring at him.
