At Mega Monster Amusement Park, the rised were moving fast. No one could get off as the Vermillion ripped peice of metal of the rollercoaster.

"What are those things?"

"What do they want?"

"NOT THE MASCOTS!!"

"Ah, I just love the smell of screams in the evening." Raggmunk exclaimed.

"Mega Monster Amusement Park? Really? Don't these guys have any sense of decency? Where does it end?" Cole asked, puching up his window.

"It ends here and now." Lloyd said.

"Pixal, give me a danger analysis. Pixal? Pixal, respond. I need a danger analysis." Zame said with no response.

"Analysis or not, I'm going in." Morro flipped his hood on an entered the fray.

"The roller coaster!" Nya gasped. A part of the track was completely gone. The carts didn't come to a stop. Man, who operates this thing?

"Zane, Cole, get up there fast!" Lloyd shouted.

"Right."

"Got it." Zane and Cole used airjitzu to fly up.

"The rest of you, on mine and Morro's trail. Time to make this place a snake-free zone. We can do this, team!" Lloyd instructed.

Zane and Cole reached the rollercoaster. Zane created a safe path of ice to get the passengers to the ground

"You don't have a ticket, and you don't have a ticket, and you, and you." Cole said as he ran along the track, kicking snakes off.

"Which one of you slime balls stole my Samurai X suit? Was it you? Or you? Or you?" Nta demanded to know, kicking a snake off the ferris wheel every ask.

"We're gonna go 'round and 'round and 'round until I get some answers!" Nya shouted.

'I'm starting to think we don't all have the same motive.'

Morro flipped and avoided metal being thrown at him.

'Yeah, me too.'

Lloyd glanced at Nya kicking snakes off the hights.

Kai entered the haunted house and kicked off the snakes, getring applause from the riders. A prop scare jumped out and Kai cut it down.

"Fake ghost, hehe. I knew that." He lied.

"So lame."

"Not cool."

"Woah!" Kai got jumped and hit apart a Vermillion. The helmet landed in Kai's hands.

"Huh? That symbol. It's..." He began to remember. The Vermillion stole it back and put the helmet on backwards. Oof.

"A-Squadron, hold off the ninja. The rest of you, keep bringing the metal. We must multitask." Raggmunk commanded his warriors.

The Vermillion cornered a boy by a metal cart.

"Mind if I borrow these?" Llpyd grabbed two cotton candies to puch back a few snakes.

"What's your name?" He asked the boy.

"I'm Johnny."

Lloyd jumped onto a Vermillion and kicked it back, flipping to his feet.

"Nice to meet you, Johnny." Lloyd smiled.

"You too, Lloyd." Johnny said.

"Ninja-go!" Lloyd used Spinjitzy to push back a crowd of Vermillion.

"Ninja, sound off! Is everyone okay?" Lloyd activated his comm.

"So far, barely!" Nya exclaimed.

"If you mean 'Okay, there sure are a lot of them!' then, yeah, I'm okay." Cole said.

"For the record, this is the least amusing amusement park I've ever been to." Kai said. The previous Ninja regroupped.

'Yes.'

Morro stood in the carousel, using the poles and sides to dodge the Vermillion's attacks.

"Morro? MORRO?!" Everyone that wasn't Lloyd asked.

"Yes?....oh." Morro said a loud.

"These snakes are behaving curiously." Zane said, joining up.

"You think? 'Cause boosting scrap metal doesn't seem like, you know, normal snake behavior." Kai said. They jumped onto higher ground. Morro came to the group.

"Neither does reforming into unstoppable samurai things." Cole said.

"They're not trying to defeat us, they're trying to fend us off." Morro said.

"Watch." Morro took a shuriken from Zane's arsenal and targeted a Vermillion. Another one intercepted the shuriken and didn't care to attack the Ninja.

"Ta-dah." Morro said.

"Well, they finally have to deal with us at full strength. And—hang on. Has anyone seen Jay?" Lloyd asked.

"Oh, he went the other way." Morro said.

"And you tell us now?!" Kai asked.

"Yeah, pay attention." Morro said.

"You know, just once, it would be nice to go into battle with a full team." Lloyd sighed.

"Well don't tell us, tell Jay! He's the one who took off for wherever without saying a word to us." Cole exclaimed.

"I'm sure he has a good reason." Nya said.

"Well I'm glad you're sure." Kai said.

. . .

At Jay's parent's, the Vermillion grabbed the scrap and metal.

"Yes! Keep it coming! Can't disappoint Commander Machia. No, not the Hands of Time's pet." Blunck exclaimed.

"I reserve the right to refuse service to you!" Ed drove a vehicle, running over a few snakes. Edna came out with a broom and started sweeping the small snakes away.

"I don't think they saw your sign in the front window, honey." Edna said.

"Take your fangs off my parents, you darn dirty snakes!" Jay jumped off his bike and into the fight. Haha. Rhymes. He shocked a snake.

"Mom! Dad! Are you okay?" Jay asked.

"Oh, well, I'm now very late for my quilting circle." Edna said. Jay turned around and blasted back the snakes.

"The ninja mustn't interfere. Get over there and take him down." Blunk commanded. The Vermillion started to tip over Ed's vehicle. Jay picked his father up and got him to the ground.

"Oh, Jay, what's happening? These fellas came out of nowhere and started grabbing things." Ed exclaimed.

"Uh, yeah, they do that." Jay said. A Vermillion grabbed Edna's purse.

"Oh! Now that's rude!" She exclaimes. Jay zapped it.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. I'm gonna get you both out of here on my bike." Jay pointed.

His bike was being taken apart.

"AAAAAAAH!" Jay shouted.

. . .

In a dark place, seemingly a swamp, it was the Time Twin's hide out.

"Everything is moving along according to plan, brother." Acronix said, walking into a room with Krux watching over Borg.

"The metal is coming by the snake-load and our, ahem, laborers are already hard at work on their various projects. How's it going with Borg?" Acronix asked.

"Poorly. He's barely made progress on the apparatus. And I thought you were supposed to be this era's greatest inventor!" Krux said.

Borg leaned on the table, refusing to work.

"Oh, how can I create anything with these substandard materials? Chunks of metal, tiny scraps!" Borg threw a pencil.

"And these!" He grabbed Dareth's trophies.

'These aren't even good trophies! And don't get me started on these ancient tools! Sorry, I can't do it." Borg crossed his arms.

"Excuses. In my day, we built with anything at hand. Craftsmanship meant something." Krux slammed his hand on the table.

"I suspect you can build the apparatus. You just don't want to." Krux said.

"Okay, yes. And you can't make me!" Brog exclaimed.

"Hmm, don't be so sure. Ah, Commander Machia. I see you received my message." Krux said as Machia entered.

"I did. What was so important that you pulled me from the battlefield? I'm reluctant to leave details up to those fools, Blunck and Raggmunk." Machia asked.

"It appears one of our workers is reluctant to do his job. I was hoping you could...motivate him." Krux said.

"With pleasure." Machia leaned forwards on the table.

"No. No, no, no. Wait! I-I'll do whatever you want!" Borg shouted.

"Yes. I know you will." Machia said. Krux sipped tea. Acronix was scared. So am I. Wtf.

"I like her. She's...mean." Acromix said.

"Sounds like someone has a crush." Krux teased.

"I do not!" Acronix shouted.

In the middle of the Wasteland, a Time Blade dropped down, slowing time for a bit.

"It has arrived, brother." Krux said. Acronix was on his smart watch.

"Did you not hear me? The next Time Blade has arrived! Which means we should be out looking for it. And yet you play children's games?" Krux exclaimed.

"I am trying to discern the Blade's location on my smartwatch! However, if you keep distracting me..." Acronix shot.

"Fine, fine! As usual, you have far too much faith in technology. Doesn't seem like a smartwatch to me." Krux sighed.

"Actually, the BorgWatch is the smartest smartwatch ever. There's a heart rate monitor, a GPS unit, and even a temporal anomaly locator, hm?" Brog said. He.... Messed up.

"The Time Blade is at latitude 34 degrees, longitude 28 degrees." Acronix shoved the watch's screen in his brother's face.

"Very well. It appears technology has its uses. Maybe. Sometimes." Krux said.

"Hm, the Eastern Sea of Sand, given the Blade's location, our troops at both the scrapyard and Mega Monster Amusement park can get to it before we can. I'm afraid Blunck and Raggmunk are in the best position to retrieve it." Machia informed.

"The Blade is now our top priority. Commander Machia, make it so." Krux said.

"Blunck, Raggmunk, hear me." Machia said.

"Message received, Commander Machia. Vermillion warriors, we're leaving. Take the builder, now." Blunck commanded his troups.

"Vermillion warriors? Really? That's what they're calling—Hey!" Jay turned to see his dad about to be taken.

"Let go of me! Watch it!" Ed shouted. Jay ran in, spinning his nunchucks. He slid on the ground and conducted his electricity towards the Vermillion after his dad and got Ed out of the way.

"Take her, she may be a builder also." Blunck commanded. The Vermillion swarmed around Edna.

"Wait, wait! I don't like to go anywhere without my purse! Aah!" Edna was trapped in some sort of claw apparatus.

"Edna!" Ed cried.

"Put me down! Aah! Help!" Edna shouted. The Vermilion started to drive away.

"Mom! Hang on, I'm coming! Gotta form my Dragon. Come on, Jay. You can do this. You can do this." Jay tried to focus.

"I can't do this, I'm too freaked!" Jay shouted. He reached after the Vermillion as they departed with Jay's mother.
