"Exploring the Depths of Time"

A line In the Sand

This morning, my father tasked me with helping Blunch retrieve metal from a junkyard. Our mission is to ensure everything goes smoothly and to keep Blunch out of trouble. As we stand atop a pile of scrap, overseeing workers collecting metal,  "YES! Keep it coming! Can't disappoint Commander Machia. No, not the hands of time's pet."His determination is palpable, but I can't help but grimace at his words. "You do realize what she would do if she heard you say that, right...?" I caution. "Like she could do anything to me!" He hisses, all arrogance and snobbery. Suddenly, an old man barrels through on a forklift, taking out Vermillion warriors, followed by his wife, who sweeps the snakes away with her broom. 

All of a sudden, the lighting ninja comes crashing in on his bike. "Take your fangs off my parents, you darn dirty snakes!!"
He yelled, zapping them with lightning exploding them.

"Argh ninjas always get in the way," Blunch growled
"Relax the Vermillion will handle him and keep him occupied while the  others can collect more metal," I assured him

"The ninja mustn't interfere. Get over there and take him down!" He ordered over the hive mind... how they do that still freaks me out.

The wave of temporal energy was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It felt as if time itself had slowed down, casting a surreal and otherworldly glow over everything. Every movement, every sound, and every thought seemed to stretch out and elongate as if reality itself was being distorted. It was a mesmerizing and slightly disorienting sight as if we were caught in a timeless bubble, suspended in a moment that seemed to stretch on endlessly. The colours of the surroundings shifted and rippled as if they were caught in a slow-motion dance, and the air seemed to thicken and shimmer with an ethereal glow. It was a truly surreal experience, one that left me awestruck.

But as soon as it started, it ended much to my distain and disappointment.

"Message received Commander Machia. Vermillion warriors were leaving. Take the builder now."Blunch commanded

"Everyone get in the truck!" I shout

We all entered the truck, ready to leave after being unable to take the man..." Take her. She may be a builder also." She screamed in terror. As we exited the Junkyard, heading to the location of the time blade.

"are you sure she is even a builder?" I question  raising my brow

"If it looks like a builder, it's a builder." 

I shrug in response turning to gaze out of the window

We are so close!!!! Father's going to be so proud. I sat on the passenger side of the recycling truck, grinning in excitement.

Raggmunk pulled up next to us, and a snake-like fair ride stood at the front.

"Lovely morning for a ride in the desert," Blunch called out

"It's too blasted hot!"

"Yes, but it's a dry heat."

The lady started to get fussy. She hasn't shut up the whole journey... its starting to get on my nerves.
"You see, this is why I wanted my purse. I keep a bottle of water in it. HYDRATION IS IMPORTANT!" She screeched

COUPLE OF MINUTES LATER WHEN THE NINJA (AND MR WALKER) ARRIVE.

Two ninjas appeared in front of us their crashed bike landing a few meters away.

" Wtf? They are in the way!!?" I punched the steering wheel, honking at them to move out of the way.

*HONK, HONK*

Nya and Zane quickly evaded, almost getting run over by the truck with a narrow escape. "Oh, Nya, so nice to see you, dearie." The lady joyfully called out to them as we speeded away.

Raggmunk was able to take down the rest of the ninjas' vehicles by throwing snakes at them, sabotaging the engines, rendering them immobile.

"We are close to the blade I can see it, step on it warrior,  Raggmunkget ready to get it" I excitedly demanded

"The time blade, yes! Come to Raggmunk."

"Hey! Why should he get the credit? Mine!" Blunch hissed in disagreement

"Could you just listen? We are going to get the time blade and return it to who it rightfully belongs to ." I opened the door and clung to the side of the recycling truck.
Yes hes almost got it!!!

"GRAB IT!!" Raggmunk leaned down and snatched it off the ground, the ninja yelling in defeat behind us...we, we have it.

"Yes!! I got it!!"

"YES, GOOD JOB RAGGMUNK!!! Father's going to be so proud of us. You guys might get that promotion if this all goes smoothly" I chuckle to myself, relieved to finally have some good on ourside with finally having the time blade.

Abruptly, we stopped our vehicles; Raggmunk and Blunch stepped out, admiring the time blade.  I jump off of the side of the truck, swiftly joining them.

"Oh, it feels better than I could have ever imagined." Raggmunk Grinned grasping the blade in his hands
"Oh, can I hold It? Let me hold it," Blunch begged, jumping and attempting to steal it from him, Raggmunk shoving him away onto the ground and shoving the blade on his hand.

"Wait you guys shouldn't use it! Father said that we aren't allowed" I glared at Them, too attempting to retrieve the blade from him. "Oh, you are such a daddy boy. Lighten up ", Raggmunk drawled, lifting the blade and aiming it in the ninja's direction as they ran towards us.

"What's the rush little fools??"
Blasting at them with the temporal force just missing them instead hitting one of the Vermillion warriors driving one of the smaller amusement park bumper cars.

"Nice shot." Blunch sarcastically complimented
"Oh, for the love of Ninjago get. IN. THE TRUCK. AND LET GO!! Krux is waiting with Acronix for the time blade and would not, "I murmured, pulling his shoulder only for him to shrug it off.

"It's my first time"

"Ugh," I sighed in defeat.
I ripped it from his hand and put it on my shooting it at the ninja, hitting my intended target.

"That's how you get it done, dimwits"
The ninjas attempt to escape being captured in the temporal bubble as they perform spinjitzu

"Lucky shot." Raggmunk glowered
"Tear them apart" " he commanded the warriors,  as they swiftly followed pursuit, growling and surrounding the ninja, the bubble bursting into a blur of coloured Tornadoes taking the warriors down.
