I wish I could believe you'd never wrong me

Then will you remember

Me in the same way

As I remember you

Wu glanced out of the window as a blimp went past the temple ''Ah. Another cup please, Misako.'' He said.

''Okay, but drink it slower this time. Healing Tea doesn't work on a burnt tongue.'' Misako told him as he drank the tea. ''Sip! You are quite impatient.''

''The same could be said of them.'' The Old Tea Obsessed Man replied, looking over at the ninja.

''Okay, Master Wu, you've had your tea. Now can we talk?'' Cole asked, walking forward.

''Ask any question you wish,'' Wu answered.

''Who did we fight in the monastery?'' Cake Devourer questioned.

''That was Acronix,'' Zane answered.

''From the painting?''

''Twins look alike!''

''Or was it Krux?''

''Is he from the future?''

''How does he speed up time like that?''

''Was he from the past?''

The ninja said as they bombarded him with questions.

''Who ate my pudding cup?'' Jaybird asked holding up an empty pudding cup, making the others stare at him. ''What? He said ask any question. I put my name on this. Just because we're in a new dojo doesn't mean we disobey the refrigerator rules!'' The ninja did nothing but stare at the Lightning Ninja, confused. ''Right. Sorry. Guy in monastery. What's his story?''

''Well, to answer that, I must begin at the end. It was forty years ago, shortly after the Serpentine Wars. When I was a much younger man. As you know, we fought valiantly, but our enemies were strong, and our powers alone were not enough. It was the discovery of the magic flutes that allowed us to finally defeat the Anacondrai. Their leaders were banished. And peace was returned to Ninjago.'' Wu informed them.

''It is done, brother Garmadon.'' Past Wu told his brother, putting his hand on his shoulder.

''Indeed, Wu.'' Past Garmadon agreed.

''Today, Ninjago is finally at peace. A great victory. And one we could not have achieved without each of you, the Elemental Masters. Smoke, Metal, Lightning, Shadow, Fire, Water, and Time!'' Wu exclaimed as they cheered.

''Hold on a sec. So that guy at the monastery is an actual Elemental Master of Time?'' Cole asked.

''No. Acronix was an Elemental Master of Time, like his brother, Krux.'' The Old Tea Obsessed Man answered.

''Where's (Y/n)'s mother in all of this?'' Remo questioned.

''She was not one of the Elemental Masters who trained at the monastery.''

Wu sipped his tea. ''After helping us win our hard-fought peace, they betrayed me, Garmadon, and the others. The so-called Hands of Time felt they controlled the most powerful Element, therefore entitling them to rule all of Ninjago.''

''What did you do?'' Nya asked.

''We had to stop them. And it would take all of us. Garmadon, myself, and every Elemental Master.'' The Old Master replied.

''Even our parents?'' Burnt Toast questioned, glancing at his sister.

''Of course. Kai, Nya, your mother and father were great fighters, but it appeared even they had met their match.'' Wu told them.

''Acronix was a skilled warrior, one of the best I've ever seen, but his real power was his ability to control the forward movement of time. By sending himself forward, he was always ahead of the action, as if he had super speed. However, a slow progression can be just as dangerous. Different power, but equally effective. One Master of Time was bad enough, but like the hands on a clock, there were two.''

''Krux's power was the opposite of his brother's. He could reverse time. It's a huge advantage in combat. Know your opponent's next move, know how to counter it. He could even control time to the point of halting it. Of course, he didn't halt himself.''

''They're unbeatable, brother! How do we stop them?'' Past Two-armadon questioned.

''I don't know. Time is the thread that sews the fabric of the universe.'' Past Tea Obsessed Man answered.

''And it appears that they have all the needles,'' Garmadon replied.

''Control time...'' Past Acronix spoke.

''...control everything!'' Past Krux finished, and the twins laughed, forming the two hands of a clock with their bamboo staffs.

''We knew we had to prepare. Fearing that next time, we would not be so lucky.'' Wu went on.

''By the end of all this, I'm going to be sick of the word time.'' (Y/n) spoke, sighing.

---

''The wait is over! The future has arrived! The BorgWatch. Launching today.'' Cyrus announced on Tv, in his wheelchair.

''Incredible. A wall-mounted window for display thirty-second dramas!'' Acronix exclaimed.

Krux used a remote to turn off the Tv. ''Those dramas are called commercials. Cynical films playing off of consumers' insecurities to convince them to purchase that which they do not need.''

''So cool. I am jealous, brother. You got to experience the last forty years of progress. Hot beverages at the touch of a button, a beadless abacus,'' He said as he picked up a calculator. ''instant communication.''

''Worthless. All of it.'' Krux said, sighing. ''I absolutely despise modern life.''

''But it's filled with wondrous things we couldn't have even conceived of forty years ago! Like this amazing thing.'' He said, holding up a BorgPad.

''A BorgPad. Vile contraption!'' His brother argued.

''I got it at the museum gift shop. A piece of glass that performs music.'' Younger Boomer told him and played some music.

''Ninja, go! Ninja, go! Come on, come on—''

''Creates a permanent visual record of any event,'' Acronix said and took a photo of his brother. ''There's even games!''

''I hate those infernal devices most of all! Everyone perpetually plugged in, distracted like infants by bright lights and sound.'' Krux replied.

''Yes! Smashed all the candy!'' Younger Boomer exclaimed, distracted by his game, making Older Boomer growl in frustration.

---

Back at the Temple, the ninja were still questioning Wu.

''You said the Hands of Time were unbeatable, yet you beat them. How?'' Green Bean/Greenie Beanie asked.

''The way one often defeats an enemy—by taking away their weapon.'' the Old Man answered.

''But their weapon was Time.'' Frosty the Ice Ninja replied.

''Indeed,'' Wu said.

''Are they done?'' Past Garmadon asked his brother after he ran up the steps to the monastery.

''They are.'' Past Wu answered, opening the bag.

''Here they come!'' Past Garm warned.

''Our only hope was four blades, hastily forged from Chronosteel...the Time Blades.'' The two got the Time Blades out of the bag and began fighting the twins.

''Chronosteel is the only metal that can absorb Elemental Energy. Stripped of their powers, Acronix and Krux were just two ordinary men, easily subdued.'' The Elemental Masters then surrounded the two former Masters of Time.

''But the ability to control time is too great for anyone to possess. Garmadon and I knew the Time Blades themselves were a threat that had to be eliminated. Forever. We created a temporal vortex to dispatch the Blades in time, where they would be lost to the ages.'' The two brothers held up the Time Blades and sent them into the Temporal Vortex.

''But Acronix and Krux refused to admit defeat. They thought they were more powerful than time itself.'' The twins broke free of the Elemental Masters gripping them, and looked at each other, before flying into the vortex.

''So, what happened to them?'' Cole questioned.

''Krux disappeared into time itself, and I knew Acronix was going to return yesterday, so I waited. He was the remaining loose end to tie. Now he is no more.'' Wu answered. Morro and (Y/n) frowned at this, knowing what really happened.

''You mean, like, permanently?'' Lloyd asked.

''Never my intent, but it was his fate. Now Acronix is gone forever, along with that Time Blade. It took four decades, but the Hands of Time will never again threaten Ninjago.'' The Old Man told them, and Misako helped him onto a couch.

''Oh, one question. How did you know Acronix was going to return to the monastery at that exact moment?'' Greenie asked.

''Why didn't you ask for our help?''

''How many Elemental Masters were there?''

''Can we make Time Blades?''

''Our parents, you said they were there,'' Kai said.

Morro was about to ask Wu a question, before seeing him fall asleep.

''No more questions for today. Your Master fought a powerful enemy. He needs time to recuperate.'' Misako told the ninja, and they left the room.

''Hey, I just realized...the mural we saw at the museum. That must be the battle Wu just told us about.'' Cole said.

''But Dr Saunders said the Hands of Time were a myth.'' Water Lily replied.

''History is art, not science. Even an expert such as Dr Saunders can be mistaken from time to time.'' Zane informed the others.

''Ha! True that! Know how I know? 'Cause Acronix was a so-called myth, and we totally busted him! Haha!'' Jay exclaimed.

''MythBuster Jay has a nice ring to it...'' (Y/n) said, resting her chin on her hand, while Remo tried to do the same.

''Yeah! Hahaha! Except now, there's nothing to do.'' Burnt Toast told the others.

''Hm. The temple still needs unpacking.'' Lloyd spoke, looking at the sea of boxes.

Cake Devourer sighed. ''Lloyd's right.''

''Ugh. Kinda wish we hadn't busted him. Hey, Nya, (Y/n). Wanna hang out?'' He asked the girls. ''I promise head pats.''

---

''Aw, yes! Slice that fruit!'' Acronix said before his brother took it away from him. ''Hey!'' Krux then showed him a helmet. ''What's with the getup?''

''Soon, we shall return Ninjago to its pre-modern glory.'' Older Boomer replied.

''Yes. Heh. I like that.'' Younger Boomer replied.

''It's not for us,'' Krux told him and walked over to a tank with grey and orange glowing eggs. Vermillion eggs.

---

''When I asked if you wanted to "hang out" I meant play video games or something, not pack and ship your Samurai X suit back to the cave,'' Jay said and sighed as he saw Nya staring at her helmet.

''You have to let it go. You're the Water Ninja now.'' (Y/n) told her.

''I know, but it's hard. I only inherited my Water power, Samurai X is something I actually created, with my own hands.'' Nya replied, putting the helmet in the box.

''These hands?'' Jaybird asked.

''Whoa! Sorry!'' Kai spoke, covering his eyes. ''Didn't mean to interrupt! Heh. I didn't see anything!''

''What did you think we were doing?'' Vitamin C questioned.

''What's up?'' Nya asked her brother.

''Something you need to see. Hurry!'' Burnt Toast told them, before running into the doorway. ''Ugh.'' He then led them to another room, where the others were gathered around Lloyd, who sat in front of a computer.

''That's why I camped out all night. I'd never miss a BorgStore product debut. BorgPad, BorgPod, I even bought the Cyrus PDA. I guess you could say I'm the company's Borg-est fan.'' Dareth told the interviewer on-screen and laughed. ''Borg-est. Ha. Get it? Hahaha! Anyway, I'm pretty excited.'' He said, and the crowd cheered as the famous inventor himself appeared.

Beside Cyrus was Mother Doomsday, who was operating a DJ set.

''Not so long ago, if you wanted to tell time, you had to look to the sun, or a clock, or your wristwatch, or ask a friend. The point is, there had to be a better solution. Something merging advanced electronics. And there is. Today, I am proud to announce...that we are changing time itself. I present to you... the BorgWatch!'' Borg announced before the crowd screamed and fled.

''Uh, really not the reaction we were going for,'' Cyrus said awkwardly as the crowd screamed.

''That was the scene just moments ago in downtown Ninjago, where the launch of the new BorgWatch was tragically marred by a samurai.'' The News Reporter informed, and the video paused.

''Well, Kai? You said there was nothing left to do...'' Cole said.

''And Ninja-ing certainly beats unpacking. Heh, actually, anything beats unpacking.'' Jay replied.

''Yeah, too bad there's only one samurai. They don't really need all of us.'' Greenie told the others.

''So, how do we decide who gets to deal with this?'' Kai asked.

''I suggest randomly assigning each of ourselves a digit, then manually engaging a cube with graphical representations of each number to make a random, unbiased selection. Roll a dice.'' Zane informed the others.

''Sounds logical, and a good option.'' (Y/n) replied, making Frosty look at her with a smile.

''Yeah. Or...we could just see who gets there first!'' Nya exclaimed.

''Race ya!'' The ninja shouted, getting into their vehicles and racing to Ninjago City.

---

''Even the normally un—Wow. It's chaos here. I've never seen such destruction! Well, okay, I have, but it's been a while and you never really get used to it.'' Gayle said, hiding in the store.

''Hey! You messed with the wrong purveyor of high-quality consumer goods, hombre. 'Cause this BorgStore is friends with me! The Brown Ninja!'' Dareth said, restoring the devices to their places. ''Drop the laptop.'' He ordered, and the Vermillion dropped the laptop. ''You animal! I didn't mean literally!''

Nearby, the Time Twins watched from a building rooftop, with Krux using a telescope to watch the scene unfold.

''What's happening down there?'' Acronix asked his brother impatiently.

''The man in the brown jumpsuit is crying. And our Vermillion Warrior has picked him up, is holding him over his head, and—Oh! Brown Jumpsuit's gonna feel that in the morning.'' Krux answered.

''I meant Cyrus Borg! Our warrior is supposed to kidnap him.'' Younger Boomer replied.

''Patience. He will.'' Older Boomer told him.

''When? It's like you ordered him to destroy the BorgStore first then grab Borg! You did, didn't you?'' Acronix asked.

''Mm-hmm.'' Krux answered.

---

The ninja arrived at the BorgStore.

''We got here at the exact same time,'' Kai informed the others.

''Oh, darn! Now how do we decide who gets to fight?'' Cake Devourer asked.

''Is that Dareth?'' Burnt Toast questioned. ''Maybe he'll—''

Dareth was launched into the air, landing on the ground in front of the ninja. '''Aah! Sup? I roughed him up for you. But feel free to finish the guy off.''

''Hey, Zane. Do you still have those dice?'' Morro asked.

''I have virtual ones.'' Frosty the Ice Ninja replied.

''Kai,'' Pixal spoke.

''Yeah! Haha!'' Kai said, and put his mask on, running into the store.

''Wait! Aren't you gonna draw your sword?'' Nya asked her hotheaded brother.

''I'm good, sis. Okay, I don't wanna brag, but the other day, I helped stop, like, an Elemental Master of Time, so I think I can handle one lousy sa—'' Kai bragged, before being punched by the Pile of Snakes, sending him back to the others. ''Who's next?'' he asked, and Morro helped him up.

''Zane,'' Pixal said.

''Aw, come on. That was totally rigged! We didn't even see the roll!'' Lloyd exclaimed, and suddenly Zane was thrown into the air, crashing into a bin Dareth was hiding behind.

''You guys got this? Good.'' Dareth said, before running away.

''Hang on, guys. There's something I've been wanting to try again.'' Cake Devourer informed the others, his arms glowing orange.

''Oh, what, that Earth Punch thing? Like it worked so well last time.'' Jaybird replied sarcastically.

''No problem,'' Cole replied, and ran forward, punching the Vermillion Warrior and turning it into a pile of snakes.

''Whoa,'' Lloyd said.

''Gross,'' Kai replied, grossed out.

''You—You totally disintegrated him!'' Jay stuttered.

''I-it was an accident,'' Cole told him, and (Y/n) gave him a reassuring pat on the back.

''Look!'' Water Lily exclaimed as the Vermillion Snakes formed back into a Vermillion Warrior. ''Whoa.''

''Ew! Grosser!'' Blueberry said with wide eyes.

''Come on, team, we've done this before. There's more than one way to stop a snake.'' Lloyd told the others.

''Ninja, go!'' The ninja exclaimed, doing spinjitzu, but the Pile of Snakes regenerated once again.

''I'm starting to think we might have underestimated this guy,'' Kai said.

''It certainly appears so,'' Frosty replied.

''You said there was more than one way to stop a snake! Which way do you wanna try now?'' The Lightning Ninja questioned.

''Um, any of them?'' Lloyd asked, before seeing it walk into the store. ''It must be after Cyrus Borg!''

''It works! He's practically unstoppable.'' Acronix said, and (Y/n) turned her head in his direction, using her ears to locate the pair, and listened to their conversation.

''Yes. Although, I hadn't expected the Ninja. Good thing we have reinforcements.'' Krux said, walking over to some more Vermillion Eggs. He then used his telescope to break the orange glass, making Vermillion snakes slither out and form Vermillion Warriors. ''Go!''

---

Back in the shop, Cyrus Borg had reached a dead end.

''Okay, big guy, that is as far as you go,'' Cole spoke, stopping the Vermillion Warrior before it threw him to to the side.

(Y/n) used her powers to switch places with the Pile of Snakes closest to Borg, but the Warrior turned and walked over to the inventor, focused on its goal.

''Cyrus Borg! Zane, get him out of here. We'll deal with the samurai.'' Green Bean told the Nindroid.

''But you'll need my battle skills.'' The Ice Ninja replied.

''Zane, my creator needs you too!'' Pixal said.

''Right this way, doctor.'' The Ice Ninja said, grabbing the handles of the wheelchair, before leaving the BorgStore.

''The Ice Ninja is trying to get Borg to safety. Good.'' Krux said to his brother.

''Hey!'' Dareth exclaimed, running into the store. He then saw the Vermillion fighting the ninja. ''Aah!'' He said as he ran out.

Nya used water on a Vermillion, making the Warrior become a pile of snakes.

''Oh, no, you don't!'' Jaybird said, and used lightning on the puddle the Water Ninja made before it could regenerate. ''That's it!''

''What are those...things? And what do they want with me?'' Cyrus questioned the nindroid as he was being pushed along an alley.

''I don't know, but we will find out!'' Zane answered before Dr Saunders appeared in their way.

The Inventor gasped. ''Well, this is a surprise. I didn't expect to see you.''

''Who did you—'' The Ice Ninja was interrupted as he was taken out by a green blur, knocking him out.

''Guys! I know how to stop these things! We gotta keep the snakes from getting back into the armour and reforming!'' Jay told the others.

''No kidding. Any idea how?'' Cole asked while fighting.

''Nya, use your Water power!'' Jay told Water Lily, who used her water power.

''No good, those snakes can swim.'' Burnt Toast replied.

''Haha. Not in this pool!'' The Lightning Ninja said, and used his lightning, with (Y/n) doing the same. ''Haha! Look, guys. Electric eels! Oh, come on, that was a good one!''

''Guys, it's working!'' Lloyd exclaimed.

''And I thought unpacking was tiring,'' Jay replied as the snakes slithered down the drain. Remo watched as they did so, wanting to follow them.

''Nice job. They're gone!'' Water Lily told the two, putting her hands on their backs.

''For now. But I wonder, who were they?'' Kai asked the others as he picked up a Vermillion helmet.

''Good question. Zane, can you analyze? Oh, right, he's with Cyrus Borg. Come on. Let's go get them? Zane?'' Lloyd questioned as they looked for the Inventor and the Nindroid.

'' It's safe! You can come out now. Mr Borg?'' Cole asked.

''Zane?'' Lloyd, Jay and (Y/n) said.

''Hey.'' Cake Devourer said as he picked up a BorgWatch with a shattered screen. ''Cyrus Borg's BorgWatch, but no Cyrus Borg!''

''Zane!'' Vitamin C and Jaybird exclaimed, seeing the nindroid on the ground, motionless.

''Oh, no!'' Cole said, and Nya and Jay gasped when they saw the motionless nindroid.

''No, Zane!'' Water Lily shouted.

---

''The first run was a success, but we lost much of our armour,'' Acronix told his brother.

''I already have my best blacksmiths on it,'' Krux replied.

''Will they be able to make enough to suit up the remaining serpents?'' Younger Boomer asked.

''Oh, I have much bigger plans.'' Older Boomer answered.

---

(Y/n) lay in bed, waiting for head pats. The door slowly creaked open, and Hotheaded Porcupine stepped in.

''I guess I'm next?'' Kai asked, running a hand through his hair.

''Yes, now give me head pats.'' (Y/n) commanded, and the Fire Ninja walked over to her and sat on her bed.

He began patting her ears and started to blush as she began to purr, closing her eyes.

Then, the Fire Ninja stopped patting her ears. Vitamin C opened her eyes and looked at him, confused. Kai was staring at her, seemingly lost in another world of his own.

Cole was walking past, before stopping at (Y/n)'s room. He then slowly opened the door, to see the Fire Ninja start to lean towards the Master of Illusion.

Cake Devourer cleared his throat, making Kai jump in surprise and fall off the bed, hitting his head on the floorboards, causing Cole to wince.

The Master of Earth walked into the room and helped Kai up, giving him a stern look. Burnt Toast glanced at (Y/n), before going out of the room, rubbing the spot where he hit his head.

''That was a close one,'' Cole said, going to (Y/n)'s side.

''Are you jealous?'' Remo asked, appearing on the bedside table.

''I- um... no?'' Cake Devourer asked.

''First Kai and now Cole, I wonder if jealousy is contagious...'' Morro said to himself, watching the two.

Cole then head patted (Y/n) until she went to sleep, and the Master of Wind left to go to bed.

Does anyone want any Destinyshipping for this season? (Morro x Kai)?
