"Oh, well, temporal energy. Of course. Everyone knows that's, um...powerful." Jay was not the brightest. "You have no idea what 'temporal' means, do you?" Kai looked at the blue ninja. " I do not." Jay admitted. " It means time" Lloyd informed him. "Precisely. Whatever created that displacement can warp the very fabric of space-time." Zane continued. My mind went to those Time twins. " Which is powerful, right?" Jay asked. "Very. All the normal rules of existence no longer apply to such a force." Zane told him. "Told you it was powerful." Jay smiled.

Back at the monastery, Acronix and Wu were still in their battle except Acronix had the upper hand. "That's right, flee, Master Wu!" Acronix shouted as they soon locked their weapons. Wu knocked Acronix back, making the man fall on his back. Acronix sat up, " Master, Ha. To think my brother and I ever took orders from you!" Acronix got back up and strikes Wu, pushing him back and losing a few hairs on his bread. "Weak! Afraid! Lacking any ambition!" Acronix insulted

"Your only ambition was to rule." Wu set things straight. "Because Krux and I deserved to rule! Do you recall what we said, on this very ground, forty years ago?" Acronix asked. " Control time" Wu started, " Control everything." "Excellent memory, old man. And look who controls time again." Acronix looked at his time blade. "Just need a moment for my Time Blade to recharge."

The two once again started to fight before Wu knocked Acronix back and some rubble fell on him. As soon as Acronix got the rubble off, he looked around for Wu but didn't see him. " Gone?" Acronix got up and looked around before Wu emerged from a corner and the two started to fight again. "It ends now, Acronix," Wu told the twin. "It certainly does," Acronix answered.As Wu was about to strike, Acronix disappeared and reappeared behind Wu as Wu swung at Acronix's previous spot.

" No, no, no, I'm not there now." Acronix knocked down Wu. "That's where I was then." Wu rolled over to avoid Acronix's strike before he kicked him back. Acronix hit a support beam and Wu was about to hit him. Acronix quickly dodged his attack as the support breaks, sending the main part of the roof falling onto Wu, knocking him down. As Wu struggled to get out of the rubble, Acronix appeared on top of it as Wu finally got free. "You know what that means. I'll see you in just..." Acronix disappeared and reappeared near Wu. " a moment!" The two locked weapons before Acronix slammed the Time Blade further, knocking Wu back as green energy surrounded him, " Control Time, control everything!"

Jay sighed, "Okay, yes, there was a little hiccup in time. But just one. I'm sure it was nothing. They probably happen all the time, and we don't realize it. You know, like déjà vu. Can we go home now?" We all just stared at Jay. "Seriously, we just cleaned up an entire museum! Aren't you guys tired?" "Well..." Zane trailed off. " Well?" Nya repeated. "I've located the surge's epicenter," Pixal told us. "Where, Pixal?" Zane asked. The screen brought up an image of the monastery before it was burnt down. " The old monastery."

"The monastery? That place totally burned down. Why would anyone or anything be up there?" Cole was confused. " We should find out," Lloyd said. "Oh, why? Cole's right, there's no reason for anyone to be up at the monastery. Zane's probably malfunctioning." Jay just wanted to go home. "Self-diagnostic indicates negative," Zane told him. Jay hit Zane, " how about now?" " No." " I agree with Lloyd. We should go. Where there's smoke, there's usually fire." Kai added." And where there's massive energy displacement, there's usually trouble." Nya put in as well.

" It would be stupid to ignore our actual job Jay" I put my hand on my hip. " Well, maybe it's, like, you know, a harmless massive energy displacement." Jay chuckled as everyone soon looked at him. "Come on. Seriously, I'm exhausted. We did our good deed for the day." "Wait. Master Wu said he was going to the monastery. Something about 'finishing an old fight.' He said this was something he should do alone. Lloyd brought up. Jay sighed, "What are you waiting for? Get us to the monastery!" Jay shouted and we all got into action. The bounty booted up and started to fly.
