Jay placed Nya's Samurai X suit down.

"When I asked if you wanted to hang out I meant play video games or something, not pack and ship your Samurai X suit back to the cave." Jay sighed as Nya was staring at her helmet.

"You gotta let it go. You're the Water Ninja now." Jay said.

"I know, but it's hard. I only inherited my Water power." Nya said, turning to Jay.

"Samurai X is something I actually created, with my own hands." Nya placed the helmey down.

"These hands?" Jay asked, pulling Nya in closer.

"Whoa! Sorry!" Kai exclaimed, covering his eyes.

"Didn't mean to interrupt! Heh. I didn't see anything!" Kai said.

"What's up?" Nya asked as Jay let go of her hands.

"Something you need to see. Hurry!" Kai exclaimed as he ran into the door frame.

Kai, Jay and Nya went into a room where the other Ninja gathered around Lloyd and his computer.

"That's why I camped out all night. I'd never miss a BorgStore product debut. BorgPad, BorgPod, I even bought the Cyrus PDA. I guess you could say I'm the company's Borg-est fan." Dareth exclaimed on a screen with a mic below his face.

"Borg-est. Ha. Get it? Hahaha! Anyway, I'm pretty excited."

On the video feed, the crowd cheered as Cyrus Borg revealed himself.

"Not so long ago, if you wanted to tell time, you had to look at the sun, or a clock, or your wristwatch, or ask a friend." He continued for a bit too long.

"The point is, there had to be a better solution. Something merging advanced electronics. And there is. Today, I am proud to announce...that we are changing time itself. I present to you... the BorgWatch!" Borg exclaimed, revealing a screen with the product. The crowd screamed in terror and ran away.

"Uh, really not the reaction we were going for." Borg laughed.

The camera turned and some... Samurai?? Attacked it.

"That was the scene just moments ago in downtown Ninjago, where the launch of the new BorgWatch was tragically marred by a samurai." Gayle Gossip exclaimed.

The video paused.

"Well, Kai? You said there was nothing left to do..." Cole pointed to the computer.

"And Ninja-ing certainly beats unpacking. Heh, actually, anything beats unpacking." Jay said.

"Yeah, too bad there's only one samurai. They don't really need all of us." Lloyd said.

"So, how do we decide who gets to deal with this?" Kai asked.

"I suggest randomly assigning each of ourselves a digit, then manually engaging a cube with graphical representations of each number to make a random, unbiased selection." Zane suggested.

"So. A die." Morro said.

"Yes." Zane smiled.

"Yeah. Or...we could just see who gets there first!" Nya exclaimed. The Ninja sat in silence for a few seconds.

"You're on!" Kai exclaimed. Morro jumped towards and pushed himself forwards and pushed the other back with wind at the same time.

"See you later!" Morro exclaimed, jumping ahead.

"CHEATER!" Lloyd shouted. The Ninja ran through the hall and jumped off the temple to get to the city.

. . .

"Even the normally un--Wow. It's chaos here. I've never seen such destruction!" Gayle exclaimed.

"Well, okay, I have, but it's been a while and you never really get used to it." She shrugged. An orange guy in metal armour trashed the electronics store behind Gayle.

"Hey! You messed with the wrong purveyor of high-quality consumer goods, hombre. 'Cause this BorgStore is friends with me! The Brown Ninja! Drop the laptop." Dareth pointed. The orange guy dropped it and it broke.

"You animal! I didn't mean literally!" Dareth cried.

From afar on a rooftop, Krux and Acronix watched.

"What's happening down there?" Acronix asked.

"The man in the brown jumpsuit is crying." Krux said, looking through binoculars.

"And our Vermillion Warrior has picked him up, is holding him over his head, and—Oh! Brown Jumpsuit's gonna feel that in the morning." Krux exclaimed as Acronix could only take in the description.

"I meant Cyrus Borg! Our warrior is supposed to kidnap him." Acronix threw his hands in the air.

"Patience. He will." Krux dismissed him.

"When? It's like you ordered him to destroy the BorgStore first then grab Borg!" Acronix accused.

"You did, didn't you?!"

"Hmmm??" Krux smiled.

Down on the road, each ninja arrived.

"We got here at the exact same time." Jay sighed.

"Oh, darn! Now how do we decide who gets to fight?" Cole asked.

"Is that Dareth?" Kai looked inside the shop. "Maybe he'll--"

Dareth got launched into the air and landed by the Ninja.

"Sup? I roughed him up for you. But feel free to finish the guy off." He said, obvious that he just got wrecked.

"Hey, Zane. You still have those dice?" Kai asked.

"I have virtual ones." Zane said.

"Seven sided die. Like a diamond. Roll it." Morro said.

"Kai." Pixal announced after Zane's simulation.

"Yeah! Haha!" Kai flipped on his hood and ran off.

"Wait! Aren't you gonna draw your sword?" Nya asked.

"I'm good, sis." Kai briefly turned around.

"Okay, I don't wanna brag, but the other day, I helped stop, like, an Elemental Master of Time, so I think I can handle one lousy sa--" Kai got punched in the stomach and flew out of the store. Morro caught him.

"Who's next?" Kai asked. Morro dropped him.

"Zane." Pixal announced.

"Aw, come on. That was totally rigged! We didn't even see the roll!" Lloyd complained. Zane immediately got beat and thrown out of the store.

"Aah!" He crashed into a mailbox.

"Okay. The Opponent's got some strength. Whoever's next, use agility." Morro said. Dareth slowly walked away. The opponent walked out. The Ninja jumped back and raised their defenses.

"Hang on, guys. There's something I've been wanting to try again." Cole said, stepping forwards. His arms lit up with that orange glow.

"Oh, what, that Earth Punch thing? Like it worked so well last time." Jay said.

"No problem." Cole stepped forwards to strike a punch right to the mid area of his opponent. He went flying, dispersing into orange lines while the armour dropped to the ground.

"Whoa." Lloyd said

"Gross." Kai said.

"You-- You totally disintegrated him!" Jay shouted.

"I-it was an accident." Cole exclaimed, pulling his hands back.

"Ohhhhh, it's a bunch of snakes." Morro stepped back.

"Look!" Nya pointed. The many snakes all grouped to form that one foe.

"Whoa." Nya said.

"Ew! Grosser!" Jay shouted.

"Come on, team, we've done this before. There's more than one way to stop a snake." Lloyd said, raising his hand.

"Ninja-go!!" They attacked. With all seven Spinjitzu tornadoes throwing around this warrior like a pinball, you'd think they would succeed. Well no. The warrior kept reforming.

"I'm starting to think we might have underestimated this guy." Kai said.

"It certainly appears so." Zane agreed.

"What are those other ways to stop a snake you mentioned?" Morro asked his brother.

"I-- ugh, I dunno? Just do something????" Lloyd shrugged, drawing his katanas. The warrior walked away from the Ninja and into the store.

"It must be after Cyrus Borg!" Lloyd exclaimed.

"Cole, Lloyd, Zane! We're inside! The rest, wait back here for now!" Morro shouted.

"It works! He's practically unstoppable." Acronix exclaimed from the rooftop.

"Yes. Although, I hadn't expected the ninja. Good thing we have reinforcements." Krux said, hatching more eggs behind him.

"Go!" He shouted to the newly formed snake samurai.

. . .

Borg wheeled his way through his store but reached a corner.

"Okay, big guy, that is as far as you go." Cole jumped in front of the warrior. He threw Cole away like a baseball. In came Lloyd and Morro. The two new warriors entered the fray.

"Heads up! Two new guys!" Jay exclaimed.

"Thank you! I really didn't see them!" Morro shouted.

"Cyrus Borg! Zane, get him out of here. We'll deal with the samurai." Lloyd said.

"But you'll need my battle skills." Zane said.

"Zane, my creator needs you too!" Pixal cried.

"We got stategy. Like I said, step quickly. Use agility. We're good. Go!" Morro waved Zane off.

"Right this way, doctor." Zame cut between the warrior and Borg and wheeled him out of the store.

"The Ice Ninja is trying to get Borg to safety." Acronix said.

"Good." Krux said in response.

Lloyd forced a warrior back then Morro stepped between them, kicking his opponent to the glass doors.

"Push them outside! We'll have more room to move out there to avoid the strong hits!" Morro instructed.

The Ninja little by little tried to push the warriors back, two Ninja per fight. But it was starting to get hard. They kept fighting head on instead of using their light steps to throw their opponent off balance.

Jay wrapped his nunchucks around the warrior's sword. He and Nya then pushed it out of the store and onto the street. Nya then blasted water and pulled the snakes apart. They started to reform.

"Oh, no, you don't!" Jay shouted. He used his lightning on the puddle Nya made before the warrior could regenerate.

"That's it!" Jay exclaimed.

Lloyd blocked another swing from the sword. He used the blunt end to hit the snake guy in the face and make him stumble back. Morro, behind, swung his staff like a sword and pushed the off-balance snake warrior towards Lloyd where he kicked the warrior back. Morro jumped up and used the metal helmet as a stepping stool to push the warrior even more off balance and when Morro landed, the brothers performed a double punch, pushing the warrior outside.

"What are those...things? And what do they want with me?" Borg asked as Zane ran him down an alley.

"I don't know, but we will find out!" Zane halted to a stop.

"Well, this is a surprise. I didn't expect to see you." Borg said.

"Who did you--" Zane was knocked out before he could see who Borg didn't expect.

"Guys! I know how to stop these things! We gotta keep the snakes from getting back into the armor and reforming!" Jay ran to Kai and Cole inside. He and Nya helped Kai and Cole push their opponent outside.

"Okay? Idea? Jay? Go!" Cole shouted.

"Nya, use your Water power!" Jay exclaimed. Nya blasted water, separating the snakes.

"No good, those snakes can swim." Kai said.

"Haha. Not in this pool!" Jay exclaimed, electrifying the water in which the snakes were in.

"Haha! Look, guys. Electric eels!" Jay exclaimed.

"Would be a lovely sight. Unfortunately, I can't see it." Morr called. The other four looked to see Morro and Lloyd constantly moving, trying to keep their warrior opponent off balance.

"Oh, that's what he means, agility." Jay said.

"HELP!" Lloyd shouted.

"Right! Yes! Okay!" Jay ran and did the same separation technique with Nya.

"And I thought unpacking was tiring." Jay sighed now that all was left was empty armour.

"Nice job. They're gone!" Nya exclaimed.

"For now. But I wonder, who were they?" Kai asked.

"Good question. Zane, can you analyze? Oh, right, he's with Cyrus Borg. Come on. Let's go get them! Zane!" Lloyd ran to where he last saw Zane.

"It's safe! You can come out now. Mr. Borg?" Cole called.

"Zane?"

"Hey." Cole picked up a broken watch.

"Cyrus Borg's BorgWatch, but no Cyrus Borg!" Cole exclaimed.

"Zane!" Jay shouted.

"Oh, no!" They flipped their hoods off and ran to a fallen, shut down Zane.

"No, Zane!" Nya exclaimed.

Krux rejoined Acronix who was still overseeing the Ninja.

"My task is done, brother...?" Krux looked to where Acronix gazed through the spyglass.

"Take your eye off him." Krux snatched the glass.

"We could still get him to join us!" Acronix exclaimed.

"It seems he is more powerful than before!"

"He doesn't listen to anyone but his precious master! Forget him! He will be on the wrong side of destiny and lose." Krux exclaimed. Acronix huffed.

"The first run was a success, but we lost much of our armor." Acronix said.

"I already have my best blacksmiths on it." Krux's tone shifted.

"Will they be able to make enough to suit up the remaining serpents?" Acronix asked.

"Oh, I have much bigger plans." Krux said.
