In the Temple of Airjitzu, Wu sips his tea.

Wu: Ah. Another cup please, Misako.

Misako: Okay, but drink it slower this time. Healing Tea doesn't work on a burnt tongue.

He drinks the tea.

Misako: Sip! You are quite impatient.

Wu: The same could be said of them.

Toge: Okay, Master Wu, you've had your tea. Now can we talk?

Wu: Ask any question you wish.

Cole: Who did we fight in the monastery?

Zane: That was Acronix.

Kai: From the painting?

Lloyd: Twins look alike!

Nya: Or was it Krux?

Toge: Is he from the future?

Kai: How does he speed up time like that?

Cole: Was he from the past?

Jay: Who ate my pudding cup?

The ninja stare at him.

What? He said ask any question. I put my name on this. Just because we're in a new dojo doesn't mean we disobey the refrigerator rules!

They stare at him again. Until Toge smack him.

Jay: Right. Sorry. Guy in monastery. What's his story?

Wu: Well, to answer that, I must begin at the end. It was forty years ago, shortly after the Serpentine Wars. When I was a much younger man. As you know, we fought valiantly, but our enemies were strong, and our powers alone were not enough. It was the discovery of the magic flutes that allowed us to finally defeat the Anacondrai. Their leaders were banished. And peace was returned to Ninjago.

Past Wu: It is done, brother Garmadon.

Past Garmadon: Indeed, Wu.

Past Wu: Today, Ninjago is finally at peace. A great victory. And one we could not have achieved without each of you, the Elemental Masters. Smoke, Metal, Lightning, Shadow, Fire, Water, and Time!

Cole: Hold on a sec. So that guy at the monastery is an actual Elemental Master of Time?

Wu: No. Acronix was an Elemental Master of Time, like his brother, Krux.

He sips his tea.

Wu: After helping us win our hard-fought peace, they betrayed me, Garmadon, and the others. The so-called Hands of Time felt they controlled the most powerful Element, therefore entitling them to rule all of Ninjago.
