No Assembly Required 66

Zane handed Lloyd the laptop computer and Lloyd sat down on a box and pressed the play button for the video that was pulled up. Kai returned he had gone to get his sister and Jay who were now with him, and they all gathered around the Laptop.
Darreth appeared on the screen and seemed to be talking in a news interview.
"That's why I camped out all night I never miss a Borg Store product debut, BorgPad, Borg Pod, I even bought the Cyrus PDA, I guess you could say I'm the company's Borg-est fan!" Darreth laughed at his own joke and added, "Borg-est, heh? Get it?" After the reporter didn't laugh Darreth continued, "Uh, anyway, I'm pretty excited."
Upbeat music could be heard and then Cyrus Borg himself came rolling through the doors of the store as crowds cheered and clapped.

The music died down as Borg began his speech, "Uh, no so long ago, if you wanted to tell time, you had to look at the sun, or clock, or your wristwatch or ask a friend...and.., the point is there had to be a better solution. Something merging advanced electronics, and there is.." The DJ began starting up the music again but one look from Borg stopped him, and Borg continued with, "Today I am proud to announce..." again the DJ had been about to start up the music but was stopped by Borg as he continued. "...That we are changing time itself, I present to you..." and he raised the remote to open the doors, and waited and waited, but the music didn't play, One last annoyed look from Borg and the music started and Borg opened the doors revealing his newest Masterpiece and completed his statement, "The BorgWatch!"

A woman's scream was heard and the crowds of people ran off in a frenzied panic. "Uh not really the Reaction we were going for," Borg said

The video then showed from the perspective of the cameraman and from the surrounding crowd of panicked people rushing by in and out of frame, the shaking of the camera, they just managed to capture the short clip of a figure dressed in armor swinging a sword around entering the store.

A reporter covering the video come on screen and said, "That was the scene just moments ago in downtown Ninjago, where the launch of the new BorgWatch was tragically marred by a samurai.

"That looked like I could possibly be interesting," Misty said with a smirk

"Well, Kai, you said there was nothing left to do." Cole said

"And Ninja-ing certainly beats unpacking, eh actually anything beats unpacking." Jay reasoned

"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, biased selection..... roll dice," Zane said

"You could have just said that right off the bat," Misty said

"Yeah. Or... we could just see who gets there first." Nya suggested

"Race ya," All of the Ninjas shouted and they all ran out of the door and used Airjitzu to get to the supersonic raider on the ground beneath the floating temple, the vehicle which was able to break up or combine into three different other vehicles.

The Ninja raced to the scene but they all arrived at the same time. "We got here at the exact same time," Kai observed

"Oh, darn now how do we decide who gets to fight?" Cole asked

"Um, hey guys isn't that Darreth?" Misty asked

"She's right that's is Darreth... well maybe he'll?" Kai started to say but never finished as Darreth came flying while screaming out of the store, he had been tossed by the samurai and landed at the ninja's feet on his face.
Darreth gasped breathlessly and raised his head up from the ground and said "Dude, sup? I roughed him up for ya, but feel free to finish the guy off." And then promptly laid back down.
The ninja looked back at the store. And Kai turned to Zane and asked, "Hey, Zane you still have those dice?"

"I have virtual ones," Zane replied

And then turned to look at his friends after a second of waiting Pixal's voice proclaimed Kai as the winner.
"Yeah!" Kai cheered and pulled up his hood and ran for the building's entrance.

"Wait! Aren't you gonna draw your sword?" Nya shouted after her brother

"I'm good sis," Kai shouted back and entered the store and said to the Samurai inside, "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 s-," He never got to finish his sentence and was knocked backward out of the shop and landed on his back in front of the Ninja and raised up a hand groaning and said, "Who's next?"

"Misty," Pixal's voice said

"Um, no thanks I forfeit my roll...." Misty said she decided that after seeing Kai just his butt kicked she wasn't looking for the same treatment.

Zane rerolled and Pixal's voice said his name. The other Ninja were skeptical, "Oh come on! That was totally rigged! We didn't even see the roll!" Lloyd shouted

But it didn't matter since Zane was shortly tossed back toward the ninja crashing into a mailbox that Darreth has been using as a hiding spot behind them.

The rest of the Ninja squared up to fight, as the samurai came toward them.
"You guys got this? Good" Darreth asked nervously and then ran away

"Hang on guys, there's something I've been wanting to try again," Cole said and stepped forward his fist glowing.
"Oh, what that earth punch thing? Like it worked so well last time!" Jay shouted back

"No problem!" Cole shouted and rushed forward and punched the Samurai up into the air.
Only his armor pieces fell back down... and some orange snakes...

"Gross," Kai said

"You totally disintegrated him!" Jay shouted

"Oh, my gosh Cole did you just..." Misty said and covered her mouth

"Uh, i-it was an accident!" Cole said

"Look!" Nya shouted

And right before their eyes, the samurai reassembled itself.

"Come on, team. We've done this before, there's more than one way to stop and snake!" Lloyd said

"Ninjago!" The Ninja shouted and used Spinjitzu and treated the Samurai like he was a ping pong ball, and the warrior once again fell apart only to reassemble again.

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

"Did you realize that, just now?" Misty asked

"It certainly appears so," Zane agreed

"You said there was more than one way to stop a snake. Which one do you want to try now?" Jay asked

"Any of them," Lloyd said and unsheathed his swords, but the samurai just turned and walked back into the shop.
"It must be after Cyrus Borg!" Jay shouted

The ninja rushed into the shop and intercepted the warrior, but two more warriors came to stop them.

"Cyrus Borg! Zane get him out of here, We'll deal with the Samurai!" Lloyd shouted

"But you'll need my battle skills!" Zane shouted but eventually, he relented and grabbed Borg and wheeled him outside to safety. The ninja meanwhile were trying to hold off the other two Samurai. They drove them out of the store and back outside. And Jay came rushing out of the store and shouted, "Guys I know how to stop these things! We gotta keep the things from getting back into the armor and reforming,"

"No kidding any idea how?" Cole shouted

"Nya use your water power!" Jay shouted

Nya sprayed the warriors and they fell apart.
"No good those snakes can swim!" Kai shouted

"No in this pool!" And Jay sent electricity into the water driving the snakes away.

"Who were they?" Kai asked and he picked up one of the helmets, and Lloyd walked over to him and said, "Good question. Zane, can you analyze?" But Zane wasn't there and Lloyd realized, "Oh, right he's with Cyrus Borg come on. Let's go get them,"

The Ninja hurried into an alleyway and called out to Zane and Borg but they heard no response. Cole then noticed something on the ground and picked it up. It was Cyrus Borg's BorgWatch, but its creator was nowhere to be found...

And then Jay found Zane he was unconscious and laying on the ground...

"No! Zane!" Nya shouted

"Zane...." Misty cried the Ninja huddled around their unconscious teammate.
