"Why are we helping clean up pretending this skull is Samukai doesn't make cleaning up any more intresting?" Jay asks after playing make believe most of the time with the Samukai mannequin. "We helped cause it so we help clean it," Lloyd said carrying one of Chen into the store room. "Umm Cole caused it not us," Jay argues.

Cole peaked out from the hole in the wall Dareth had made with the stone warriors. "How many times do I need to say sorry?" Cole asked. "Maybe pick up the pace a bit more and we will," Jay said like he had been working so hard. "Would you rather I break everything? I'm still getting the hang of my body not being a ghost and I would rather cause less damage," Cole said. "You'll get there babe besides it's almost quitting time," Kai said with a smile at his fiancé.

"Hey Kai look at this," Nya calls to her brother. He walked over to where she was and saw her looking at a painting of their parents. "Huh why's a picture of mum and dad in here?" Kai asks. Nya looked behind the picture and saw the date it was made. "Woah this was made when I was like three," She comments and Kai sighs. "Right before they disappeared we barely know anything about them," Kai sighed saddened. Kai looked at the picture and remembered the day they brought Nya home very vividly he loved his little sister quite quickly. He was snapped out of it when Nya put a hand on his shoulder.

"Father was the master of fire mother water they left us the shop and your powers they would be proud of you," Nya said. "Us they would be proud of us," Kai corrects and Nya blushes at the praise. "Do you think they would like me marrying Cole?" Kai asked and Nya shrugs. "I can't say that they can't really approve of someone they never met," Nya points out. "Yeah guess so just can't help but wonder," Kai admits. "Hey guys look what I found," Cole said and they turned walking away from the picture and turn towards what the others were looking at.

It had a young Wu and Garmadon with metal blades with other elemental masters surrounding them as they fought two twins. "Who are they?" Jay asked. "Pixal says there is no record of this battle taking place," Zane says. Then appearing seemingly out of nowhere Doctor Saunders appeared behind them with a loud hello scaring them. "HELLO! I got all refreshing drinks," Saunders announces handing them out. They all thanked him Cole handed Kai his cup and they drank it before spitting it out because it tasted terrible but Jay just shrugged and drank more of it and asked about the painting. "Oh that? It's a silly legend minor skirmish no historically significance that why I don't hang it in the gallery. It's said that these elemental masters of time fought Wu and Garmadon some time after the serpentine war but it just myth," Saunders shrugs. "Even if it is a myth who are these men master Wu is fighting?" Zane asked pointing to one of the twins. "I have no data on them," Zane said. Sanders sighs and puts down the crate. "There is a legend that of twins called the hands of time," Saunders explains walking past them. "The hands of time?" Kai repeats with a suspicious manner. "They could allegedly manipulate time itself. Speed it up slow it down all sorts of things," He explains turning back to them and laughing. "See what I mean? Manipulate time a ridiculous fairy tale," Saunders said as the ninja exchange glances shrugging at the doctors dramatic behavior. Nya walks closer and points to one of the twins. "Who's this one?" she asked. "Oh this one? that handsome looking fellow? Legend says his name is Krux," Saunders answers with some odd pride. "And who's the nasty looking guy?" Lloyd asked pointing to the other. "In the stories his name is Acronix," Saunders said.

They all look at the picture then Saunders eyes wandered to Kai's engagement ring. He was about to ask about it when he noticed Cole's nearly identical one. Without any of the ninja noticing Saunders makes a disgusted face before walking away.

(Okay that guy is so old fashioned I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same here same goes for his brother)

Meanwhile in the ruins of the burnt down monastery Garmadon and Wu both sat crossed legged as a blue blimp travelled across the sky showing the date and time. Suddenly a portal opened up and Acronix falls out landing. He looked around at the burned down monastery. "Right on time"Wu said looking at his watch. "What?" Acronix asked. "Hello Acronix long time no see," Garmadon said getting up with Wu. Acronix turned to the two old men and his eyes widened. "Wu? Garmadon? My time has not treated you two well," Acronix said being quite rude. "It's time to finish what we started long ago," Wu said taking out his staff while Garmadon stood still. He took a vow of peace he would only interfere if it needed. "You don't have your brother to bail you out this time," Garmadon said. "And who's fault is that?" Acronix asks. "We did what we had to protect Ninjago," Wu said.
