Rewriting Ninjago P2! The pilots!!

Instructions

Disclaimer!! I do not think im better at writing than professional ninjago writers, im just changing some things to the likings of me and others for fun! Now with that out of the way, lets start. If you haven't seen the previous part, there's 5 golden weapons in my rewrite (6 technically but it wont be in the pilot episodes) but still so far only 4 ninja. How do i solve this? Well i could potentially go three ways. One, the extra weapon is hidden somewhere else and wu goes on his own, two, the entire finding of the golden weapons happens within the caves just in different tunnels or three which is my personal favorite. Instead of needing to go to another place, master wu has one weapon which we will call "The Spear of 'Power' " (a bit later it shall be a mystery but eventually be known as the spear of water, the real weapon of Power will be "The Katana of Power" or "The Green Katana") Anyways were going with that last one cause its the most convenient and can add extra mystery without going on a extra side quest. Now with that said and done, lets Begin. First episode: I would personally keep Kai and Nya at the blacksmith shop meeting wu and kai being like "uh no thanks i dont care about being a ninja" and then Nya getting taken by Samakai and the other skeletons BUT id also introduce the other three ninja maybe close to middle or the end of the episode and have them all train together and learn how to do ninja stuff and train and learn the basics of spinjitzu even if they cant do it yet. I think thisd be better cause lets be real- i dont think the other ninja would know martial arts before master wu and like- Second episode: instead of fighting in the beginning cause they were strangers, id either let them have a scene where they connect emotionally and you get to learn more about each of their motivations and connections, maybe this could be part of a trial when they go to the caves of despair to get the Scythe of Earth (calling it that instead of quakes cause i don't feel like having that small inconsistency even though it doesn't matter.) while the skeletons also try and find it. I think that could be pretty interesting because trials would make each ninja feel like they earn their weapon. Also we get a Morro jumpscare >:) (just a skeleton that isnt the kind they fight) anyways they wake up the earth dragon, fight the skeletons, you know the basics. Retrieve the Scythe. Except in this episode they DONT learn spinjitzu, not yet...youll see why soon. They beat the dragon (for now) and leave the cave. Third episode: id keep most of it the same tbh. Maybe make garmadon a lil more intimidating? Also once again maybe some trials to earn the rest of the weapons. Id keep most of it though, especially the shadow fight. Also definitely keep them losing. Fourth episode: So we meet garmadon and face against samaki, id keep it very similar just like make Garmadon a bit more intimidating. But this next part is where it really changes cause im gonna be a bit extra creative. After/instead of Samaki poofs/poofing (which ill make a bit earlier in the episode), Garmadon starts to grow his second set of arms and begins to fight them wielding all four elemental weapons. All hope seems lost when they realize and start chanting "Ninja never quit." so they get up and do spinjitzu for the first time. (No spinjitzu of creation. That'll be saved for later in the series.) Garmadon is taken aback on how they can do spinjitzu and being weakened/overworked by the four elements drains him and so he strikes them in an attempt to escape at which he is successful at. The episode ends with the ninja rescuing Nya who they found after garmadon left and celebrating, but it keeps in mind that garmadon could be anywhere. Other notes: Id like for Kai to show maybe a bit more obvious signs of concern- i mean she was taken by skeletons for a week+ so maybe itd be nice showing some panicked or sad moments of Kai worrying over his sister.
