Peacebreaker kidnapped Borg to the Vengestone warehouse and tied him to a stone chair, specially carved.


The inventor had his arms and legs bound and his mouth gagged to block his screams and cries for help.


The Vengenstone warriors, who guarded him until the leaders and king arrived plugged their ears and croaked.


Peacebreaker, Harumi and the Crystal King arrived in the room and relieved the guards, who quickly fled.


- 'So... this is the inventor, the genius, you spoke of?- asked the King, looking at Borg from top to bottom, appraising him.


- Yes. He can build things, you can't imagine. - informed Harumi.


- Yes. But he could stop shouting and drilling so much already. - Peacebreaker said, croaking.


Harumi walked over to Borg and removed his blindfold. Borg looked around and was about to scream again, when Peacebreaker came up and put her sword to his throat.


- You start screaming again, and I'll slit your throat. - she threatened, pressing the blade against the man's neck.


Borg nodded frantically, closing his mouth. Peacebreaker smiled sarcastically and stepped back.


- Well, Mr. Borg. I would like to welcome you to my humble thresholds, and I apologize for the...batalisc resources of my soldiers. It's a bit... inappropriate on my part. I am the Crystal King, the future emperor of Ninjago, also called "Father of Monsters". - introduced himself with a fake smile.


- You are probably wondering, why you are here. You are here, because I have heard from my generals, that you are an outstanding scientist, who can build anything.


- Therefore, I demand, that you do something for me. I demand, that you build me a real war machine to help me in my power struggle.


Harumi removed the cloth, that was blocking Borg's mouth. He looked at the king with distaste.


- I will never do that. I won't do anything for you.


The Crystal King furrowed his brow and straightened up, facing the inventor. He leaned dangerously towards his face and smiled menacingly.


- Listen, you fool. As long as you are my prisoner, you will do what, I order you to do. And if you refuse me, or disobey my order... you will die a painful, horrible death. You understand.


Borg swallowed and hesitantly nodded his head, cowering under the demon's gaze. The king smiled.


- Perfect. Peacebreaker will supervise and watch over you. Harumi will bring you the plans for my machine. Parts are already brought in the warehouse, contact the soldiers, if you need any parts.


Peacebreaker, who was behind the king looked at him with furrowed brows and growled under her breath. The demon turned around and started walking toward the exit, when he stopped.
