[laughing]

Move it, old man.

(Lloyd) 'Wu's gotta be down there somewhere.'

And Cyrus Borg.

Nya. Our parents. They're alive.

(Wu) Episode 72

"Pause and Effect."

And if we do this right, we can find Master Wu

save Cyrus Borg, rescue everyone who is kidnapped

'and stop Krux and Acronix.'

But it'll take stealth, concentration

and precise execution.

And where does the slug fit in?

What slug?

Ah, that one!

[whimpering]

It's so-it's so gross.

Hey, guys. What'd we miss?

[laughing]

Cole freaking out over a slug.

And Lloyd laying out the plan of attack.

[chuckles] But mostly Cole freaking out.

As I was saying, Zane will use his censors

to locate Cyrus Borg

while Jay and Cole rescue the workers from the warehouse.

I'll get Master Wu

who's probably in the holding cell.

'Kai and Nya, you have the toughest job'

locating Krux and Acronix.

- So you take the map. - We can do that. Right, Kai?

[sighs] Barracks, holding cell..

[clears throat] Kai?

Okay, that's the mess hall and what's this?

- Kai! - What? Yeah, yeah, we got it.

- Let's go. - Remember, stealth is key.

Everyone know what they're doing?

- On it. - Yup.

Affirmative.

Oh, yeah.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

Good luck.

Uh, no pressure but

all of Ninjago

is depending on us.

[dramatic music]

[burps]

[grunting]

Your numbers are great, but they won't be enough.

The Time Punch has reversed.

My strength has returned.

[grunting]

I will save Ninjago.

Misako.

Wu, why did you fail me?

I...I made a mistake.

An error of judgment.

I should've told you I loved you

before you went to..

splash

Garmadon.

You let me fall

to the darkness, brother.

You failed me, too.

And me.

Morro, I, I don't understand.

You don't understand how instead of your greatest success

your student became your greatest failure?

You've made many mistakes, master.

(Acronix) 'Many mistakes, aye, but the latest'

the monastery.

You never should've come by yourself, old man.

[eerie whispering]

We could've helped, master.

You didn't have to face them alone.

(together) You didn't have to be alone.

(Krux) 'Your arrogance has left you..'

All alone.

[groaning]

All alone.

Hah! What a joke.

We are commanders.

Guarding this guy is totally beneath us.

How could've Acronix and Krux put Machia in charge?

They ignore our courage

our dedication, our singular focus.

[stomach rumbling]

I'm starving.

What? I missed breakfast.

Machia had told us never let the prisoner out of our sight.

You're just gonna have to go hungry.

[stomach rumbling]

Unless..

P.I.X.A.L, scan for Borg's

biometric signature.

P.I.X.A.L? Uh, come on, Zane. She's still offline.

Deal with it. Do your own scanning.

'Target acquired. Locking in.'

I don't think we can go in the front door.

Well, you know we can

but I doubt fighting half the Vermilion Warriors

is good for Lloyd's stealth plan.

[hissing]

clang clang

[hissing]

Oh, not good, not good, not good, not good!

[grunts]

[grunting]

Gotta love skylight.

Nobody ever thinks to guard them.

Wow!

[metal clanking]

[driller whirring]

[clanking]

[indistinct chatter]

Shh. We're here to rescue..

Ninja! We are rescued!

What're you doing here?

Snake warriors kidnapped Karlof.

(Jay) Can't breath.

Krux and Acronix are rounding up the Elemental Masters?

Retired Elemental Master

until snakes grabbed Karlof

cuff him in Vengestone to control his power.

(Jay) Eh! Come on!

Then make him forge.

[panting]

Oh, man. You're strong.

They forced us to build armor

vehicles, weapons.

Only Ninjago who know how to build, they take.

Huh, now I'm starting to get why the Vermilion

'grabbed all that metal!'

And why they took who they took.

Carpenters, construction workers

tailors, master of metal and--

[scatting]

♪ Revenge will be mine ♪♪

Dad? But you guys are just called the "Royal Blacksmiths."

You're not, you know, actual blacksmiths.

[scatting continues]

[crowd applauding]

[crowd applauding]

Shh. The guards.

(Cole) 'Gotta be stealthy.'

How do we get 'em outta here?

By leaving the same way we came in.

Oh, sure. Great idea.

Everyone can just fly up there, except..

Oh, wait. They can't fly!

No, but we can.

[gasps]

[in unison] Airjitzu!

Time grows short and I grow impatient.

Are you finished yet?

Yes, I'm finished.

It will supply all the power you need.

Magnificent.

Your effort is appreciated, Cyrus Borg.

Hmm, like I had a choice.

Hmm.

Impressive craftsmanship.

All the more so when one takes into account

your inferior modern training.

Time for a demonstration.

Argh! It doesn't work!

I withdraw my compliment!

I-I-I told you!

The apparatus won't activate

unless all four Time Blades are in it.

Speaking of which, the third is arriving

any minute now, brother.

And my ship awaits.

Ah, I've waited decades.

I suppose I can wait a little longer.

[intense music]

- Ah! - Attempting sabotage?

Uh-uh, no.

Uh, no, no, no. O-of-of course not.

Wise decision

but just to be safe

you're coming with us.

Take the apparatus to the Iron Doom.

Krux and Acronix want it ready to connect

when the time comes.

[hissing]

[beeping]

[beeping stops]

I've-I've lost the signal.

No Cyrus Borg. No P.I.X.A.L.

No good.

Empty? Where is Master Wu?

He was out to lunch.

Kind of still is.

[chomping]

I had to watch him but wanted to eat.

Thanks to me, we did both.

If you've hurt him--

Him? I'd be worried about you.

Yeah.

You and your Ninja buddies are gonna pay

for getting us stuck on this lame babysitting detail.

[grunts]

[sobbing]

Now, you're really in trouble.

[swords clanking]

Didn't your mother teach you not to fight

with your mouth full?

[grunting]

Stop him! I'll watch the geezer.

Hey! How come you get to--

[screams]

Okay. You first, Karlof.

- He-he! - Hmm.

Why does dirt Ninja smile?

Oh, just getting Deja vu

saving you for a second time, go, Jay.

[Jay groaning]

You, uh, you got

extra, ah, metal

in your pockets or something?

Oh-ho-ho. Karlof almost forget. He-he.

'Car keys.'

[groans] Oh, no.

This isn't gonna work.

And unless the new Samurai X does his thing

and shows up out of the blue again

we gotta come up with something else, fast.

Hmm, wait, we have builders

and we have scrap metal.

- So.. - Right.

Anyone here know how to design, construct

and independently power a 200 foot industrial

green cargo elevator in three minutes?

- No? - I was thinking ladder.

Right. Ladder. Ha-ha. Good call.

Um, a-anyone?

[indistinct chatter]

[metal clanking]

- Good thinking, boys. - Thanks, dad.

Hey, I've got a question.

All the armor and stuff you forged

where did all the designs come from?

Well, I overheard one of the general's say

they came from a master blacksmith.

"Master blacksmith?"

Kai, I don't see anything.

Give me the map.

Hmm.

What even makes you think Acronix and Krux

are around here?

I honestly don't care if they are.

Let's see, we came across from the east

which means we're here in this clearing.

Down this path is a..

[gasps]

The blacksmith shop.

Our parents!

Wait! Kai!

[dramatic music]

[grunts]

I knew it!

Huh? Who are you?

What do you want?

I want justice!

[grunting]

You're red, like a Vermilion Warrior.

- But you're no snake. - No, but you are.

Traitor!

[grunting]

You've messed with the wrong blacksmith, my friend.

I'm not your friend!

Fire power.

[grunting]

No, you're certainly not a guard

you're...my son.

Kai, you've inherited my Elemental power.

That's the only thing I will ever inherit from you!

- Kai, no! - He's a traitor!

- Traitor? - He's still our father.

Nya?

Son, whatever it is you think

I can explain.

Yeah, I bet you can.

[grunting]

Kai, let him speak.

There's no harm in hearing him out.

[groaning]

I'm coming, master!

Nice. And those Vermilion never knew what we were doing.

Look at this bad boy. Solid.

No! Wait! Ladder is not done!

[metal clanking]

- Oops. - Oh. So much for stealth.

Look, uh, maybe they didn't hear it.

No, they did.

Show time.

You said Borg's temporal scanner

will pinpoint the exact time and location

of the blade's arrival.

zap

Oh, it should be here in a moment.

zap

[grunting]

[grunts]

There we go.

The Borg watch works perfectly.

W-well, of course it did.

Everything I make works perfectly.

Sometimes, it's a curse.

You see? Easiest one to obtain, yet.

Now, will you admit that not all modern technology is bad?

Not until we find the final blade.

A task for which that little trinket

has been utterly useless.

Our mother always said he was stubborn.

[grunts] Did you feel that a moment ago?

[grunts]

That was weird.

[grunting]

Yeah, it was like time stood still.

Well, they're not standing still.

[grunting]

[groaning]

Now they're still.

Uh-oh, tunnels, everyone, now!

[hissing]

[panting]

Safe.

You're finally..

Whoa!

Gotcha!

Oh, come on!

[grunting]

It ends here, now!

(Maya) 'Kai, you don't know what you're doing.'

I do, Nya, I absolutely--

(Maya) 'I'm not your sister, son.'

Huh?

Mom?

'I-I don't believe it.'

That makes two of us.

Nya, my baby girl.

How you've grown.

I've...I-I, I missed you.

Why? She's just as guilty as he is.

They've been helping Acronix and Krux for years.

They are the enemy!

Is that what you think?

We are not the enemy.

Then how do you explain this?

Dad's blacksmith stamp on every piece of Vermilion armor.

They forced us to work for them.

Part of their revenge.

- For what? - For creating the Time Blades.

(Ray) It goes back to when Acronix and Krux

were Elemental Masters.

I have an idea and it requires your skills.

Masters of fire and water, come.

We forged four Time Blades

from Chrono-steel

to absorb the powers

of the hands of time.

Chrono-steel is incredibly strong.

We were physically and mentally drained.

Thank you. My brother and I will deal with Krux and Acronix.

[groans]

The Time Blades stripped Krux and Acronix

of their powers.

Then Wu and Garmadon

created a temporal vortex

to lose the plates forever.

When Krux and Acronix foolishly went after the plates

it appeared, they too would be lost in time.

Later we learned that just before Acronix disappeared

there was a sign that foretold the exact time of his return.

Forty years in the future.

Wu saw it.

(Kai) So that must be how Master Wu knew

when Acronix was gonna return to the monastery.

- He saw the blimp. - And so did Krux.

(Ray) What Wu did not know

was that not only did Krux see the blimp

but he wasn't sent forward with his brother.

Now he knew he had decades to plan

he assumed a false identity

and decided to use eggs from the Great Devourer

to create a great legion of warriors.

His warriors would need armor

weapons, vehicles

and he knew just who could design that.

[laughing]

(Maya) Pretending to be the kindly

Dr. Sander Saunders

Krux took his time and earned our trust.

We thought he was our friend.

(Ray) Until Saunders betrayed us.

Told us how he had a plan

for his brother's eventual return.

He forced us to work for him or else..

(Kai) Or else what?

(Maya) Or else he would go after you two.

It was his ultimate revenge.

Okay, but that still doesn't explain the stamp.

(Ray) 'It was a message, I stamped all my work'

hoping one day someone would figure out where we were

so that together we could stop Krux and Acronix's plan.

What is their plan?

[sighs] To control all of time.

[whirring]

Hm.

I've got a read on Borg again.

Huh. safe.

Thanks for leaving me to fight the kid all by myself.

Someone had to look after Sleeping Beauty here.

Think of how much trouble we'd be in

if Krux and Acronix knew you lost him.

Me? You're the one who--

- Fools! - Supreme Commander!

Hey, uh, uh, how's it going?

Um, we've been here the whole time.

I know you disobeyed me.

I know you lost the prisoner.

I know all of it.

- Even the sliders. - What?

How could you possibly know of..

Right. Stupid hive mind.

Clearly, I cannot trust you nitwits

to do even the simplest things.

[dramatic music]

- Lloyd? - Zane?

- Have you seen Wu? - No.

I was tracking Borg, but I lost the signal.

- Then it reappeared. - Argh!

I had Wu, but lost him again.

I sense Jay and Cole are nearby.

- Yeah? You sure? - 'Bring it on!'

(Jay) 'You vermilion dupes!'

Yup. Pretty sure.

[music continues]

(Jay) Oh, ha-ha. Hey, guys, look.

I know it looks like we're totally outnumbered

but that's only because we are. Ha-ha.

Our friends need our help.

But what about Cyrus Borg

and Master Wu?

I'm afraid they have to wait.

As Master Wu says

"Never put off until tomorrow

what must be done today!"

True, let's just hope

we're not putting off the wrong thing.

I'm sorry. I didn't know.

You said Krux and Acronix

want to control all of time.

- How? - They made me design Iron Doom.

A transport to carry the Vermilion throughout time.

With all those troops, they would be unstoppable.

(Kai) You built a time machine?

(Ray) Just the shell.

Time machines are

a little outside my skill set.

But Cyrus Borg was forced to design a power source

to power the Iron Doom.

It draws temporal energy from the Time Blades.

Oh, no. I just realized.

That pause we felt earlier

it must have been the third Time Blade.

(Kai) If Krux and Acronix found it

then there'll only be one left.

And if they get that, the time traveling mega armor

will be fully operational.

Sorry, fully operational is good news?

[chuckles] They'll never get it.

Master Wu found it shortly after Acronix disappeared.

Turns out, it has the power to reverse time.

Wu knew it was too dangerous to keep.

Under his orders we hid it

buried deep in a location

that only the combined Elemental powers

of fire and water can reach.

And since you inherited our powers..

[gasps] You must leave now.

- Huh? - She's right.

If the hands of time knew all of this, they could..

Could force you to retrieve it for us?

- Excellent suggestion. - No way!

- We will never do your bidding. - You tell him, brother.

You will or your parents will face the very fate

from which they tried protect you.

Never! We're done serving you, Krux.

- Bring your worst. - With pleasure.

[grunting]

- Dad! - Ray!

(Machia) Look who I found.

- Master! - Wu.

Uh, technically, she didn't find him.

- We had him the whole time. - Yeah.

We didn't lose him

because we took a lunch break or anything.

You know, it occurs to me

that the Reversal Blade is the only way

to undo the effects of the Time Punch.

[groans] I'm-I'm afraid that's true.

If you want to save your master

you will retrieve the fourth blade.

And I'll take that.

[intense music]

[laughs]

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

That's what I'm talking about, Vermilion done!

- Workers safe! - Yes!

- Ninja in the swamp. - Ooh.

Now we can return to search for Borg and Wu.

I'm afraid I found them.

[whirring]

Okay, so let's airjitsu after them.

- Ah! - Uh, huh.

Okay.

[hissing]

[gasps]

No, Ninja, you will stay.

I'm afraid we've reached..

...the end.

[instrumental music]
