Emily suddenly bursts from the trees, wide-eyed.  She bolts towards the team, gesturing wildly and making hoarse croaking noises.

"What's her problem, I wonder?"  Rhea mutters.

"She's got another Blade!"  Kai cheers.

"AVAAA!!!  RHEAAA!!!  OTHER PEOPLEEE!!!"  Emily hollers.

Ava does a double-take, then smacks Rhea and glowers at her.

"Ow!  WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!!"

This is no funnier now than it was the last half a dozen times you've done this!!!"

"I SWEAR THAT IT'S NOT ME THIS TIME, AVA!!!"

Ava scrutinizes the teen's eyes closely.  "Hmm, not glowing...  OH MY-!!!"

Krux explodes out of the forest, heading straight for the youngest ninja.  "DON'T LET THAT CHILD GET TO HER FRIENDS!!!"  He bellows at the Stone Warriors.  "STOP HER AND FINISH OFF THE REST NOW!!!"

Jay screams in terror as the other ninja prepare themselves.  "THIS IS REALLY THE END THIS TIME, GUYS!!!"

"Then let's give them a show that they'll never forget."  Morro answers, setting his jaw and squaring his shoulders in blatant defiance of Krux's threats.

"We'll take out as many as we can ourselves, that's all that we are really able to do anymore, anyways."  You add, smiling sadly at your boyfriend.  "I love you, Morro."

He kisses you quickly, gently wiping a stray tear off of your cheek.  "And I love you too, YN.  Forever and always."

"The city of Ninjago has been notified."  Zane comments with a sad mechanical hum.  "Pixal, the other Masters, and our various allies are now on standby, ready to fight."

"That's good."  Lloyd sniffles.  "I'll miss my candy, though."

Several dozen Warriors bar your team from Emily, hemming you in against the banks of the Time Stream, with no escape in sight.

Krux advances on the girl.  "It's over for you.  Now hand over the Blade."

"I'm a kid, not stupid."  Emily scoffs.  "If I'm going to die anyway, I'd rather keep it."  She turns the Blade around in her hands, feigning confusion.  "Hey, what does doing this do?"  She points it towards him and triggers it.

A green bubble envelopes him and takes effect, sending him speeding across the battlefield.  He screeches in frustration, unable to free himself from its power.  "DON'T LET MY BROTHER GET HIS HANDS ON THAT BLADE!!!  TAKE IT FROM THE GIRL!!!"

The Warriors step towards her menacingly.

"Uh-oh..."  Emily begins backing away from them, encasing several at once each time she uses the weapon.

A Warrior growls and knocks it out of her hands, sliding it across the ground.  They both look at each other.

"MINE!!!"  She lunges for the Blade, but another Warrior picks it up and shoves her down when she tries to get up again.  She gasps and rolls to one side, then the other, as it swings its sword at her, narrowly avoiding its cleaving blade.  Dirt sprays up around her, and she tosses a handful into its face, then scrabbles away, ducking heavy stone feet as she attempts to escape.

"GET OVER HERE, KRUX, YOU COWARD!!!"  Acronix roars.  "YOU WUSS!!!"

Krux's face flashes into view amongst the throng of Warriors.  "Wuss..?"

"Yeah, I learned that term from the internet!!!  Fight me one-on-one, you sissy!!!"

A Warrior walks up to Krux and hands him the green Blade.  "It's a good thing that these are color-coordinated."  He grumbles.

Emily's scared blue eyes peer through the wall of Warriors.  "I'm sorry I couldn't hold onto it.  They took it from me, and I couldn't get it back."  She whispers.

"That's okay, Em.  It's not your fault."  Acronix murmurs.

She blinks in acknowledgement and slips away before she's noticed.  "I'll do what I can, everyone."

"Good luck."

The Warriors part, and Krux walks through, leering at his brother.  "Alright, I'll fight you.  But only you."  He aims a Blade at the rest of your group, a glint of red into stunned silence.
