"man I've missed a lot" Aria looks over the city that's half destroyed

"Princess Aria" Kaname and Hanabusa appear at her side

"What is it?" Aria turns to them

The two guards kneel

"We have found their whereabouts" Hanabusa reports

"huh, so you guys are useful after all" Aria says

"The Boiling Sea" Kaname tells her "that's where they're headed"

"Then I have no time to waste" Aria sighs "we need those blades" she puts her hands on her hips "head back to the castle and handle the situation there, tell my father, I'm getting those time blades"

Aria transforms into her dragon form and roars before flying off towards the ninja. When she arrives she sees a temporal vortex close to closing.

'they went back in time, shit, well guess i'm heading there too'

Without any other thought Aria heads through the vortex. In the past at the Monastery of Spinjitzu, young Wu and Garmadon send the four Time Blades into the time vortex, with young Acronix and Krux following the blades as the rift closes

Past Garmadon looks surprised "Did Krux and Acronix just..."

"It appears they chose being lost to time over facing their punishment. The outcome is not as we intended. But Ninjago is now safe" past Wu says

Another time vortex forms and the Iron Doom lands directly in front of the gate of the monastery. Aria turns back into her human form inside the vortex before coming out and landing beside the Monastery. The door to the Iron Doom opens and the future Krux and Acronix step out.

"They look confident. Overly so" Acronix says

"Heya, Ice, am I seeing things or are those the guys we just beat?" the Past Master of Lightning, Jay's mother, questions

"Indeed they are, Lightning" the Past Master of Ice replies

"Why, yes, we are. You have already stopped us once today. But that was before we had a legion spawned from the Great Devourer" Krux laughs

Jay's mother whines "Aw, I thought I was gonna finally go on my honeymoon. Really cute guy, too. Cliff is an actor and when I look into his eyes—"

"Stop! Focus, everyone" Past Wu interrupts

Aria turns and sees a blonde women beside her "ah!"

"ah!" the blonde women shouts in surprise as well

The two quickly cover each others mouths. The women takes Aria's hand off her mouth.

"Aria what are you doing here?!" the women shouts "I told you to stay with your father"

"...you.. know my name" Aria looks at her surprised "wait you know who I am"

"Of course, how could I not know my own daughter?" the women questions "oh wait... oh no.. you're older, a lot older.. damn it you're a reincarnation aren't you.. that would explain why you're confused right now"

"A rein-what!" Aria shouts

"Shh" Layla covers her mouth "forget that for now, I think they need our help, come on"

Layla starts to run out

Aria grabs her arm "wait a minute mom.. while I am so confused right now.. I can't go out there I don't exist yet, I'll mess up time"

"No no it's fine" Layla tells her "you do exist in this time, just your past self, I know you don't understand but when you get back to your time you'll have to ask your father, if he's still alive"

"So.. I can go kick some ass?" Aria questions

Layla smirks "hell yeah"

"Sweet!" Aria shouts excited

"Yep you're definitely my daughter" Layla laughs

The mother and daughter run out from their hiding spot and attack the vermillion warriors.

"Layla!" the elemental master's shout

"You're supposed to be with Misako!" Garmadon shouts

"And why did you bring Aria?!" Wu adds

"hehe" Layla snickers "oh come on, like hell we'd miss this" she smiles at Aria "right dear?"

Aria smiles as a tear runs down her cheek "hell no!"

Machia orders some Vermillion warriors to seize young Wu, young Wu tries to fight them off and is about to be finished off until Kai and Nya destroy the warriors attacking them with their powers.

"You two are here too?!" Aria shouts at them

"Forget that why are you here idiot?!" Kai shouts realizing it was their Aria

"Ray! Maya! You've returned!" past Wu shouts surprised

Kai disguises his voice "Uh, yes. And we've um, studied these warriors. To defeat them, you cannot allow them to reform"

"I thought the forging of the Time Blades exhausted you" Past Garmadon says

"Forget it old man they're here now so just fight!" Aria shouts

"come on show some respect for your sensei you little brat!" Past Garmadon shouts back

"Yep your definitely my daughter" Layla sweatdrops

"Layla why couldn't you teach your daughters some manors" Wu mutters

"Cause then she wouldn't be any fun" Layla laughs

The past Elemental Masters begin to get the upper hand in their fight with the Vermillion. As they're about to finish off the last of the Vermillion, the Vermillion all explode back into their component snakes.

"Why did they stop?" Kai questions as he groups up with Nya and Aria

"Well as a bad guy.." Aria starts off "the stop of an attack means the start of plan B"

"So.. when did you get here?" Nya asks

"and why?" Kai asks

"Look they got something I need so I'm here to steal them" Aria replies

"typical" Kai says "a selfish reason"

"Anyway" Nya intervenes "that women over there called you her daughter.. why did you mess with time?!"

"I didn't" Aria puts her hands up "let's just say it's a long story my dad needs to explain"

The Elemental Masters watch as the snakes slither up the Iron Doom, entering parts of it in the process. Using the helmets obtained from Blunck and Raggmunk, Acronix and Krux then order the Iron Doom to arise, causing the snakes in the Iron Doom to give the machine life as it then towers over the monastery.

"Argh, seriously? Normal snake samurai are hard enough. How do we stop that?" Jay's mother complains

"Wow these elemental master's must've had it easy compared to you guys" Aria says

"And who's fault is that?" Kai looks at her "Mistress of Evil"

"Ooo I like the sound of that" Aria says "forget being called the dark lord I'm the mistress of evil now"

Kai facepalms "this little girl"

Past Wu approaches them "You know this enemy. What do we do?"

"I.." Kai looks at Nya who shrugs then back at Wu "I have no idea.." he looks at Aria

"Hm.." Aria stares at the thing "..we fight it"

"That's not a plan" Nya says "that's running in recklessly"

"and that's my style if you haven't noticed" Aria replies

The Iron Doom then slams its left arm into the ground and shoots a boulder from its mouth, with the Masters retaliating with their powers. The Iron Doom then moves up, smashing down the front gate and walls of the monastery. As young Wu and Garmadon preform Spinjitzu, the Iron Doom knocks them aside. Kai and Nya then try Airjitzu, but they too are knocked down as they land slightly down the mountain.

"Aria!" Kai shouts "do something!"

"Layla!" Wu shouts simultaneously "do something!"

The mother and daughter duo look at each other before smirking.

"Do you have your dragon form?" Layla questions

"Naturally" Aria replies

The two spring into action completely unplanned, but that's how they like it. Aria transforms into a dragon and the past elemental maters stare at her in shock. Layla's eyes glow dark purple and a cloud of dark smoke goes up around her.

"Let's do this honey!" Layla shouts

Aria roars and sores into the air.

"...I think we should back up" Wu says

The past elemental masters run back to safety with Kai and Nya following.

"Final battle" Nya says worriedly

"Should be fun" Kai finishes sarcastically

Aria and her mother battle the Iron Doom together, their attacks seem to be affective but not very powerful.

"Damn it" Layla curses and mumbles "the balance of darkness is shifted too much, with Svern still alive their's two Dark Lords now in this time, our dark power is greatly weakened because of the realm trying to suppress us now"

"Let's help them" Nya says

"I guess we got no choice" Kai sighs

Kai pulls out the Dragon Blade. As the Iron Doom gets close to the Masters, Acronix questions if they should destroy young Garmadon or Wu first when Kai and Nya then arrive, using the Fusion Dragon to combat the Iron Doom, ramming into the Iron Doom.

"Aria we're here to help!" Nya shouts to her

Aria roars in response.

"We don't speak dragon!" Kai shouts

"She said get out of my way idiots!" Layla shouts to them

"well her mother knows dragon" Nya says to Kai

"yeah, cause her mother is married to one" Kai responds before turning to Aria "we need to get the Reversal Time Blade!"

Aria rolls her eyes and charges at the Iron Doom with the siblings following. They try to snag the blade from the Iron Doom but fails. The Iron Doom pulls out a sword from its back and swings towards the dragons.

"Watch out!" Nya shouts

They dodge and the sword hits Aria. Kai directs the dragon over as Aria shakes her head.

"You ok princess?" Kai asks

Aria roars before nodding. As the Iron Doom turns towards the Masters in the monastery, the Fusion Dragon tries to strike it from behind but is knocked away. The Iron Doom pulls out its second sword, Aria swoops down and knocks it out of it's hand.

The Iron Doom shoots several boulders towards the Fusion Dragon and Aria, but they all miss. Aria breathes dark energy as Kai and Nya use their powers, together the 3 manage to knock Krux and Acronix back away from the controls.

Nya suddenly jumps off the Fusion Dragon and lands with her powers. She then runs down to the forest below the monastery, where she finds something. As Kai shoots a fireball at the Iron Doom, young Wu orders the Masters to distract the Iron Doom.

With this distraction, Aria slams into the Iron Doom, causing it to fall onto the monastery, with Krux and Acronix briefly screaming. They stare down as the Iron Doom's blades fall down the side of the mountain. Using their helmets, they get the Iron Doom back up.

Using his helmet, Acronix activates the time apparatus on the Iron Doom as it opens another time vortex above it. Kai then tries to hit the Iron Doom one more time, but Acronix causes it to dodge his attack as the Fusion Dragon disappears.

Kai starts falling but is caught by Aria.

"thanks I guess princess" Kai says embarrassed

Aria smirks.

"Even as a dragon form you mock me" Kai complains

The Iron Doom disappears into the time vortex as it closes behind them. Aria lands and Kai jumps off her back before she transforms back into her human form.

Nya runs over "guys"

Kai looks down "I've failed everyone"
