The ninja watched as Kai, Nya, and Wu followed the Time Twins into the temporal vortex.
Toge: Kai! Nya!
Jay: Come back! Kai! Nya! (Sobs.) Why'd they risk their lives to go after Krux and Acronix?
Ray: It was the only way to save Wu.
Jay: Oh, okay. I'm good with it. Hey, wait a sec. Who are you? And how do you know that?
Maya: I'm Maya. And this is Ray. We are—
Toge: Kai and Nya's parents. We saw your portrait at the museum.
Maya: Yes. Who are you?
Toge: I'm Toge. Kai's friend and Nya's.... Boyfriend.
Cole: Why'd he say it like that?
Zane: My scanners show that Toge is frozen in fear.
Jay: Ha! He's already in the phase where he meets the parents.
Ray: Krux and Acronix traveled back in time with the Reversal Blade so our children had to follow.
Toge: Why?
Maya: Only that blade can undo the effect of the Time Punch on Master Wu. They are his last hope.
Lloyd: Master Wu is with them?
Cole: We have to go help. We just need a time machine. You can build another one, right?
Cyrus: I can't.
Jay: Oh. I get it. "I can't" is business speak for "It'll cost you big". Okay, businessman, I hear you. Hm, I've got a tenner.
Maya: No Time Blades, no time travel. I'm afraid there is nothing to do but wait and hope Kai and Nya return.
Jay: Okay, then, Samurai 2.0. While we're stuck waiting, why don't you tell us who's really under there?
Samurai X: No.
Jay: Uh, would a tenner change your mind?
Samurai X: No.
Jay: What about a piece of candy?
Samurai X: No.
Jay: What about two pieces of candy?
Samurai X: No.
Maya: What you said is true. Kai and Nya truly are Master Wu's last hope.
Ray: Not just his. All of Ninjag—
He coughs.
Maya: Ray. What is it?
Ray: On the ship, when Acronix hit me, he was holding a Time Blade and something happened.
Zane scans him.
Zane: Accelerated physical deterioration, rapid loss of life function. You've been hit with a Time Punch, too.
Lloyd: And there's no cure.
Toge: Wait. You said the Reversal Blade can undo it on Master Wu. Would that work for you, too?
Ray: Only if our children retrieve it and return in time.
The Time Twins travel inside the vortex on the Iron Doom.
