Sensei Lloyd's p.o.v

Zane has a pair of tweezers, he digs into the wound on my shoulder. Grinting my teeth, he hits a nerve and my wings flare. The ninja, uncle and aunt Misako look in shock. Wu Wu smiles, he lays his head back down.

Zane finishes and wraps my shoulder and knee. I sit on the spare bed in uncle's room. Wings curling around Wu Wu, he fists my pants leg, soft snores soon sound.

"Now than, to answer about Acronix, 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 Anacandri . Their leaders were banished. And peace was returned to Ninjago." Uncle says as I shift some of the pillows.

Cole waves his hands "Hold on a sec. So that guy at the monastery is an actual Elemental Master of time?"

I step in, knowing bits and pieces "No. Acronix was an Elemental Master of Time, like his brother, Krux." Uncle sips his tea. "After helping them win their hard-fought peace, they betrayed uncle, 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." I say, getting comfortable.

Kai looks at me "So you know first hand how this will hand." He asks. "I wish I could say yes. But, that would be a question better asked to my big brother. After all, it was he who led the attack." I said.

All cock their heads, I sigh and use my element of mind to share my memories. Aunt Misako comes over and she hugs me. Kai even does as well. I move back, glad for the hugs but, they don't feel right.

Nya leads next, she steps forward "What did you do?" She asks.

Uncle looks at all of them "We had to stop them. And it would take all of us. Garmadon, myself, and every Elemental Master." You can hear the sadness in his voice.

Kai looks at me, than uncle Wu. He sits on the bed, lifting me up but I shake my head. "My back is killing me. I'm pushing thirdty when I should be pushing eighty." I tell hem. Kai sits me up anyway, I go to protest when his warm hands, thumbs mainly start kneading my back. I groan as he works knots that Morro would normally.

Kai continues, looking over at uncle. "Even our parents?"

Uncle nods, sipping his tea. "Of course. Kai, Nya, your mother and father were great fighters, but it appeared even they had met their match. Acronix was a skilled warrior, one of the best I've ever seen, but his real power was his ability to control the forward movement of time. By sending himself forward, he was always ahead of the action, as if he had super speed. However, a slow progression can be just as dangerous. Different power, but equally effective. One Master of Time was bad enough, but like the hands on a clock, there were two. Krux's power was the opposite of his brother's. He could reverse time. It's a huge advantage in combat. Know your opponent's next move, know how to counter it. He could even control time to the point of halting it. Of course, he didn't halt himself."

I start to chuckle. "My eldest who's adopted, his name is Acronix. He is the sole master of time. And a has control over all four powers. Forward, Slow-Mo, Reversal, and Pause. Four totally different powers when combined can have unimaginable effects." I say.

Wu looks at me "So that's why you were reluctant to attack. In the future, he's your son." Uncle said. I nod in confirmation. "How...how many kids do you have." Ninja Lloyd asks.

"Four so far. Right after this unless there.... Kai to the right and lower." Kai happily shifts his thumb near my right hip and I hiss at the tight knot there. "Normally my husband does this. Damn that feels good with warm hands." I groan.

"Unless there's what." Ninja Lloyd asks, sitting beside me. I curl my legs in some, mindful of my belly and Wu Wu shifts, head resting on my leg. "We thought I was having twins the first time around. I ended up having triplets." I said.

I only showed them the memories of me in suspended animation and the ninja as I know them. "Who's your husband." Cole asks. "Another story for another day. I'm heading to my room, Wu needs to rest." I say, standing with Kai's help.

"Yeah uncle, you need some rest. You had a rough day." I smile at my counterpart. "I was referring to my son. I named hem after uncle. He's the eldest of the triplets." I said picking up said son.

Heading to my room, I place the pillows, setting Wu beside me and sit on the bed. Pulling out the picture I hold in my pocket, it's one of two I hold.

The one in hand is the weekly picture we ninja take. I pull out the second and it's the one of me and Morro, Morro has his arms wrapped around me. The kids are on either side of us. Acronix and Wu on Morro's side and Koko and L.J on my side. With a smile, I look to the rafters.

"You gonna watch me or come on out and play." I said to no one in particular.

At least, that's what you think.
