Kai POV:

I fell to the ground as I heard the news. It couldn't be. It was my vow to protect him, and I failed. I failed. I failed to protect him, I failed to be there for him, I failed to take care of him, I failed to be his brother, but the worst bit? I failed to keep my promise.

I stare at the picture, the picture we took back when Tomorrow's Tea hadn't hit. Before this curse fell upon us. Before I failed.

I failed. I failed. I failed.

Lloyd POV:

I enter the museum and things were looking fine. I don't get why the guard was so scared, but then again, I don't know the full story.

I approach the guards, who simply point to the other guard, sitting on the bench and drinking tea.

His face showed pure terror, it looked like he had gone through hell and back.

I sat next to him and tried asking him questions, but he was as silent as a mouse.

This all seemed oddly familiar, it reminded me of Morro, but it couldn't be. Morro was a closed chapter in this book, and it couldn't be opened again.

The guard grabbed my wrist and pulled me into the relics room, taking off his jacket.

I was confused before he finally spoke up.

"I didn't understand who would take something from here, nothing is valuable, and nothing was ever put on display", the guard explains.

No, this is too familiar. This is what happened with Morro. It can't be.

I raced out of the museum, not wanting to go through this again. It didn't make sense, how could this be?

My memories were faint, I couldn't remember what happened to me, but I knew I wasn't home.

Sure, I was in Ninjago City, but not my Ninjago City.

I'm in the past. Back from the Tournament of Elements.

But how? I have no memory of how I got here, which means I couldn't get home.

It's not just that I couldn't get home, I couldn't do anything.

Change anything, change everything.

I've already altered the past too much, I've prevented an entire chapter of our lives.

Cole never became a ghost, Nya never became the water ninja, and Clouse never escaped, so many things have been altered, changing our future drastically.

"THE TIME BLADES", I yell, not caring who notices.

If I go back inside and re-do this, I know how to defeat Morro. I know how to defeat Nadhakan, and I know how to defeat Krox and Acronix, the time twins.

If I wait it out, I can use one of the time blades to get back home.

Change anything, change everything.

TIME SKIP. LLOYD POV [This is at the end of 'Hands of Time']

"WE DID IT!", the past version of Kai yelled as Ray got off the ground. He's been healed.

I admired the boy, I wish I would have confessed to him sooner. I'm at risk of losing him, forever.

I can't let that happen. Not again. I can't survive without him.

And it's time for me to go back.

I watches the ninja, as I picked up the time blade and stabbed myself with it, travelling in time in the process.

"Please, work", I prayed to myself. I wanted to go home. I wanted to see Master Wu. I wanted to see my parents. I wanted to see the ninja. I wanted to see Kai.
