Ninjago S7 E8

## Plot

Kai and Nya meet up with the others in the sewers. Zane will use his sensors to locate Cyrus Borg. Jay and Cole will free the kidnapped workers from the warehouse. Lloyd will find Wu. Kai and Nya will find Krux and Acronix, and are given the map. Stealth is paramount. Meanwhile, Wu is fighting Vermillion Warriors. He says that the effects of the time punch have reversed, and he's gotten his strength back. However, Misako comes out of an egg, and accuses him of failing her. Yeah, it's a nightmare. He admits that he loves her. Garmadon accuses him of letting him turn evil, and failing him too, as well as Morro. Okay, I will admit that my respect for Wu has gone up a little with this dream sequence, where he acknowledges that he's made some mistakes, and he clearly feels guilty about them. Krux and Acronix show up. They claim that his arrogance has left him all alone, as the ninja tell him in creepy green colored floating head style that it didn't have to be this way. He's hallucinating. In reality, he's tied up in a wheelchair and locked in a cell that's being guarded by Raggmunk and Blunck. Zane keeps forgetting that Pixal is still offline. He scans for Borg and finds him. Jay and Cole enter the warehouse full of workers. It turns out that Karlof is there. He retired as an elemental master. He still has his powers, but he's cuffed with vengestone. The snakes stole the metal and took the workers so they could make more weapons, armor, and vehicles for them. Even the Royal Blacksmiths are there, including Cole's dad. Borg finally finishes the apparatus. It will provide all the power the Hands of Time need, but it won't activate unless all four time blades are in it. The third will be arriving soon. Machia stops Borg from sabotaging the device. Some Vermillion Warriors are told to take it to the Iron Doom. Borg is coming with Machia. Zane loses his signal. Lloyd runs into Raggmunk and Blunck with Wu. The people are too heavy for Cole and Jay to carry with airjitzu. They could make a ladder though. Cole learns from his dad that the designs for all the stuff came from a master blacksmith. Kai and Nya arrive at the blacksmith's shop. Sure enough, their father, Ray, is there. He realizes that they're his children, and they inherited his and his wife's elemental powers. It turns out that Kai took a double bladed sword from the secret room in the previous episode. Nya wants to hear him out, but Kai wants revenge. The metal ladder breaks, and the Vermillion Warriors discover the workers, Jay, and Cole. Now they have to fight. On a snowy mountain, a temporal portal opens up in front of Krux, Acronix, Machia, and Borg. The new time blade halts time. It's red. Lloyd saves Wu from going over a cliff. Cole and Jay fight Vermillion Warriors. Cole uses his newly mastered earth punch on them. They lead the workers to the tunnels. Raggmunk and Blunck take Wu back, and Lloyd chases after them. Kai briefly snaps out of his rage when he sees his mother, Maya. However, he tells Nya that she's as guilty as their father is. They explain that Krux forced them to work for him for years. It was part of their revenge, since they're the ones who created the time blades in the first place. Doing so left them completely drained though, which is why they weren't at the monastery with everyone else, since Wu picked them up and left as soon as they were finished. They later learned that there was something that foretold the exact arrival of Acronix's return. Wu saw a blimp in the portal, and so did Krux, who was sent back in time, along with the yellow reversal time blade. Now he knew that he had decades to complete his master plan. He posed as Dr. Saunders and gained their trust. However, he eventually betrayed them and forced them to make weapons, armor, and vehicles for his Vermillion Warriors. He said that if they didn't, he'd hurt their children, who were only five and three at this time. Ray stamped all of his work in the hopes that someone would figure out where they were, so they could stop Krux and Acronix. Their plan is to control all of time. Krux, Acronix, Machia, and Borg arrive back in the swamp. Zane picks up the signal again and follows it. Machia knows that Raggmunk and Blunck temporarily lost Wu, because of the hive mind link. She can't trust them with anything, so she takes Wu. Lloyd and Zane run into each other. Jay and Cole are nearby, fighting Vermillion Warriors. Wu and Borg will have to wait. Krux and Acronix's ultimate plan is the Iron Doom, a giant ship to carry them and the Vermillion throughout time. Borg created the power source for it, which draws temporal energy from the time blades. Wu found the fourth time blade shortly after Acronix disappeared, and knew that the Hands of Time could never be able to get it. Ray and Maya hid it in a place that only the combined elemental powers of fire and water could reach. They tell them to leave right away, since Kai and Nya inherited their powers. However, Krux and Acronix arrive with an army of warriors. They blackmail Kai and Nya into retrieving the reversal time blade for them, or their parents could be killed. For extra cruelty points, they also threaten Wu, since the reversal blade is the only way to undo the effects of the acceleration blade on him. The others have to deal with more Vermillion Warriors, and see everyone else aboard a ship.
