MEET CYRUS BORG, THE FAMOUS INVENTOR

A week has passed since the ninja discovered Ouroboros and fought against the samurai and green ninja, which turned out to be a fake battle in order to save Zelda and escape the Serpentine. And it was also proven that Kai was the samurai and Lloyd the green ninja, but only few knew that. They don't plan to break the secret to the others for a while.

It was later on they found out the mission was planned. And by Monica, who had Zelda sneak in to search secrets the Serpentine were hiding. So far, they learned that Pythor used the sacred flute to become the new leader of the Serpentine and he plans to marry a half-Hypnobrai, half-Anacondrai female serpent name Scalina to rule alongside him. Since Zelda wasn't able to find any other secrets, that was all the information they had.

But the ninja had more important things on their minds.

Training became their number one priority. In order to defeat the Serpentine, they needed to become stronger. Not only that, but they wanted to keep their strength up in order to discover their true potential.

Right now they were watching both a timer and a video camcorder as they watched and timed Pixal climbing up the tallest tree on the mountain, watching as she made it to the top under twenty seconds. She beat her record of twenty-four. The others couldn't believe it.

"Twenty seconds!" Nya exclaimed.

"She just broke her own record," Kitty said, "The girl's inhuman!"

Up in the tree, Pixal stood up to feel the wind blow calmly around her. The Robin flew up, landing on her shoulder. Smiling, Pixal petted her friend's head and, taking a deep breath, jumped and landed in front of her friends. She looked up at them. "I have returned."

"That was awesome!" Kitty exclaimed.

"We're not worthy," Carol said, bowing down in front of Pixal, "You are the fastest tree climber I have ever known."

"I broke the record?" Pixal asked.

"You literally destroyed it!" Nya exclaimed, "Twenty seconds. You are the greatest! I bet you're as fast as our teachers. Maybe even faster."

"Okay, girls, I think we're all thinking the same thing here," Kitty said, "We've been training for so long, I don't think we can get any better. Just think about all we've accomplished."

They heard a chuckle from behind them. They turned around to see Zelda walking up to them. "You all certainly have accomplished so much. Why I remember every single one. Nya now has the ability to move water aside if she plans to walk on the dry grounds of the sea. Kitty can create jungles and can even attract wild animals to come and join her in battle. And Carol can turn into any animal in all shapes and sizes and can even change size forms by using only her thoughts. For example, if she wishes to become a giant mouse, then she can form that thought and turn into a giant mouse. Or if she would rather be a small elephant, she simply forms the thoughts to be small and she turns into one."

Kitty chuckled. "That's a mouthful."

Carol gasped in delight. "Oh, I've always wanted to be a tiny elephant!"

"I believe the question should be raised," Pixal said, "Perhaps we have reached our full potential?"

"Oh, there you girls are." Everyone looked to see Misako climbing up from the cabin quarters. "I've been looking for you. I have found a scroll that explains an important matter. But first, Sensei Wu would like to see you all before he leaves."

"Leaves?" Nya said, bewildered, "Where is he going?"

"Where he is going does not concern you for now," Misako said, "Follow me."

The girls followed Misako to Sensei Wu's room. Monica was there helping her father pack as well as Garmadon. They all bowed in respect to their Sensei.

"My teacher," Pixal said, "Misako said you wanted to see us. We heard that you are leaving."

Wu sighed. "Yes, but I won't be gone long. I apologize if I've been distant lately. My mind has been elsewhere ever since Zelda was captured by the Serpentine."

Zelda chuckled. "There is no need to worry about that, Sensei Wu. I am here safe and sound on the bounty. You seem tense, though. Is something wrong?"

"Actually, I was wondering if there was anything you all needed before I leave."

"Well, there is one thing," Carol said, "It's about our true potential."

"Yes, me teacher," Kitty said, "Do you think we've done enough training? What if we've reached our true potential? What if we're ready?"

Wu nodded and turned around to face them. "You might have reached peak physical condition, but you've yet to reach your inner potential. In each and every one of us, there are obstacles that hold us back. Only when you conquer that fear will your heart be free. Only then will you reach your true potential. Only then will we have a fighting chance to stop the Serpentine from releasing the Great Devourer."

"So we have to find some sort of mental issue that's holding us back and once we fight it, we'll reach our true potential?" Carol asked.

Garmadon nodded. "Yes. And I can already determine what's holding all of you back. But I won't say a word. Not until the time is right. And because you must learn it on your own."

"I believe we understand," Pixal said, "Sensei Wu, I am beginning to worry for you."

"Why do you say that?" Wu asked.

"I think there's more to the Great Devourer than you've led on, isn't there?"

Sensei Wu sat down on the side of his bed, sighing. "I too have obstacles within my own heart. There's a story I've never told you. Long ago, when I was a young man, my father brought home a young lady around my age. When I first laid eyes on her, I knew at that moment that she was the one for me. Beautiful. Strong. Independent. Courageous. Blonde hair that flew in the wind, eyes as blue as the morning sky. A woman who I knew was the best. That woman was Valderra. Our relationship started out as friendship, but later on, it turned into love."

"Aw, how sweet!" Carol exclaimed, "You were once in love with a woman who ended up turning into the Queen of Darkness!"

"It was sweet before the darkness seeped through her," Wu said, "I ask for no more interruptions. Valderra wasn't always dark at heart. One day, a man to whom I refuse to state his name came one day and asked my father if he could stay to study and learn the way of the ninja. My father agreed and this man stayed for many months. Behind my back, Valderra was secretly getting to know that man. I didn't want her to think I was jealous, so I waved it off. But one day, Valderra went on a journey and was gone for three weeks. Nobody knew where she went, but when she returned, she was not the same Valderra that I knew. She told me her journey was to rethink our relationship and after much thought, she chose the man over me. A man who I later learned was very wealthy and was not only a famous historian and archaeologist, but also the next in line to become the governor of East Ninjago, the one who would become the king's right hand man. She left with him and I never saw her again until that horrible day when I had no choice but to fight against her. It was a day that devastated me and I confined myself in solitude for weeks. It was on the day she left with this man that I saw a snake bite upon her hand, leading to the conclusion that she was bitten by a legendary snake that would grow forever as long as it consumes. A great evil had found its way into the love of my life's heart, for the snake's venom could turn the purest of things wicked. It is the snake that took Valderra away from me. The snake is the same one the Serpentine want to reawaken today."

"So the Great Devourer turned Valderra into the Queen of Darkness?" Nya asked.

Wu sighed. "It was all my fault."

Garmadon placed a hand on his brother's shoulder. "It wasn't your fault, brother. You must not blame yourself for this."

"Wait a second," Carol said, "So how did Marga become the Dark Princess?"

"That is the important matter I wanted to explain to you girls," Misako said, showing them the scroll in her hand, "I found out why Marga became the princess of the Underworld. It was her destiny. You girls must remember that light cannot exist without darkness. Marga is the balance of the darkness. The Yellow Ninja is the balance of light. The balance is being broken with the darkness trying to win. That is why the battle between good and evil must happen. To bring the balance back to normal. But this battle will be different. In order for Marga to become the ruler of darkness, Valderra must be defeated."

"But good wins either way, right?" Kitty asked.

"Well, considering that once Valderra has been defeated and Marga follows her destiny to keep the darkness in balance to bring peace to Ninjago, then yes," Misako said, "We do win either way."

"So we just have to keep training," Nya said, "It's best for us to stay strong no matter what."

Wu nodded. "This is true. But for now, you four have finished your rigorous training. Continue, but be careful. You must now focus on stopping Pythor from collecting the fang blades. But never lose focus on the obstacles that lie within each of your hearts that holds you back from true greatness. Unlock your true potential."

"But how are we supposed to do that, Sensei Wu?" Pixal asked.

"It is up to each of you to discover." Wu picked up his bag and began walking out the doorway of his room. "Now I must go on a personal journey of my own."

"Where will you be going, Sensei?" Carol asked.

"To a place you cannot follow. I am going to find someone who can be of aid to us in battling the Serpentine. They have united and grown stronger and we will need all the help we can get." He walks up to the gang plank and is about to climb down when he feels a hand being placed on his shoulder. He turned around and saw his daughter standing there. He smiled. "I promise I will return."

"You always do," Monica said, "But you almost forgot something." She took out a stuffed panda and gave it to her father. "Our good luck charm. Fuzzles will keep you strong and help you when you need it most." She embraced her father and whispered in his ear, "Be careful out there, Daddy. I love you."

Wu smiled, not hesitating to hug his daughter back. "I love you, too, Mon Mon." After a moment of saying goodbye, Wu placed Fuzzles in his bag and walked off the bounty.

Nya sighed. "So I guess all we can do is wait."

"Well, I guess now is the best time to give out the mail," Lloyd said, holding up a stack of envelopes, "There's something important here for Pixal from her dad."

Pixal smiled as Lloyd handed her the envelope. When she opened it, her smile widened more than it ever has. "I have received wonderful news from my father. He has been nominated for Best Inventor at the Ninjago Science Awards Ceremony. And he's inviting all of us to come attend the ceremony with him."

"That's wonderful, Pixal," Misako said.

Nya gasped. "He's inviting all of us? This is amazing! I finally get the chance to meet Cyrus Borg!"

"But we should be focusing on finding the fang blades," Kitty said.

"Well, who says you can't search for them and enjoy yourselves at the same time?" Garmadon said, "You have worked and trained hard the past couple of weeks. I think a little rest won't hurt."

"And we can't miss out on an opportunity to meet the greatest inventor of all time!" Nya exclaimed, "Kai, get this bounty moving."

"Looks like we're heading to Pixal's home," Kai said, "I'll start setting sail in the skies." Kai heads over to the control room.

"Hold on," Lloyd said, "Jay just texted me and said he was coming over. I bet he'd like to meet Cyrus Borg."

"You bet I would." Everyone looked to see Jay climbing up on the bounty, this time wearing clean clothes not covered with sweat or dirt stains. "Sorry if I took so long. I finally got the outside of the bounty finished this morning. My dad and I will start on the interior next week."

Nya giggled, blushing like crazy. "I bet you both work great as a team."

"Like father, like son." Jay chuckled.

So the bounty was lifted off the ground a few minutes later, heading to Pixal's home in Ninjago City.

Let's hope the Serpentine aren't doing anything to spoil the moment.

NEXT SCENE:

It was true that the Serpentine aren't up to any schemes. Except for the fact that they were preparing a wedding.

A week ago, Pythor had chosen a female snake name Scalina to become his queen and rule the Serpentine with him. He admired her for many reasons. She was kind and quiet, not rude and loud like most female serpents. But she wasn't afraid to speak her mind when she needed to. She was the most beautiful out of all the ladies, considering she was a mixture of both Anacondrai and Hypnobrai.

Plus, Scalina told Pythor that being a queen was all she could ever ask for. It made him the happiest Anacondrai alive.

The wedding wouldn't be until sundown, giving Pythor plenty of time to get some work done as he and Skales were searching through the map of Ninjago to find the location of the four hidden fang blades.

Skales was beginning to call it quits. "This map says nothing about where the four fang blades are hidden. Have our ancestors left us nothing? Where are they? I'm beginning to grow impatient."

"Calm yourself, Skales," Pythor said in a cheerier mood than usual, "There must be something." He points to some writing on the bottom. "Look at this. This must be a clue. 'When five fangs unite as one, the path toward the Devourer has begun.'"

"Yes, when the five tribes unite. We've done all this. It means nothing."

"Then we need to figure out its meaning."

"Well, we better. If you don't find out soon, the others will begin to ask questions, and soon they will start to think you don't know what you are doing. It's bad enough that we have to do all this on the day of your wedding."

Pythor grows tired of Skales' complaining and bangs his hands on the table. "I know what I'm doing, fool. I'm trying to unleash the Great Devourer. Legend spoke of a map showing exactly where the four fang blades have been buried. There must be something around here. Keep looking. Once we find it, this day will be better than I've ever imagined."

"I believe you should be more concerned about getting married than you should be in finding the fang blades. You are about to wed a woman you will be spending the rest of your life with. Isn't that not exciting enough?"

Pythor chuckled. "Yes, but I'm in too good a mood to get on to you about your complaints. Let us continue our search."

Sighing, Skales did as he was told. It's not like he could do much else.

All he can hope is for the ninja not to begin searching for the fang blades. Or at least not know what they are.

NEXT SCENE:

The ninja arrive in the richest area of Ninjago City. The west side. Filled with the wealthy and most top class people in the entire city. Where Pixal lived, the area was known as West Wealth.

The bounty was able to land in a valley filled with various species of flowers, trees and even had hedges shaped into various amounts of animals. Everyone walked off the flying vessel one by one, Pixal being the first in line. She didn't hesitate to flop down on her back in the grass, letting the sun position itself on her.

She giggled. "It is so wonderful to be home."

Carol gasped. "Look at the hedges. Shaped in such beauty. Now this is what I call art."

"What is this?" Lloyd asked, "Does your dad own a valley or something?"

Pixal shook her head. "No, this is the garden. He planted it for me after I was born."

"So where's the house?" Jay asked.

Pixal hopped up off the ground. "Follow me. I will lead you there."

"I can't believe we're actually about to meet Cyrus Borg!" Nya exclaimed, "The Cyrus Borg!"

While they made their way to the grand mansion of Cyrus Borg, Kitty took out her notepad and began going over the question that needed ideas. "Okay, girls. Just because we're acting normal and all doesn't mean we should be slacking off from our main responsibility. So we need to go over ideas on how we're gonna find those fang blades. Anyone thought of anything?"

"Well, I could send out a chirp," Lloyd said.

"A what?"

"There's this social media site called Chirpy," Nya explained, "You join up on it, make friends or join up with your friends online and send out chirps, also known as messages."

"That may actually be a good idea," Kai said, "We could spread the word and everyone can help spread the word by sending the message to everyone they know. After all the Serpentine don't use technology. They'll never know anything about it."

"Yeah, I was just thinking about putting out flyers," Kitty said, "I'd rather do it the old fashioned way."

"And you kids say the old ways never work," Garmadon said.

"I don't know," Carol said, "Passing out flyers feel silly to me."

"Well, do you have any better ideas?" Kitty asked.

"No, but I think technology can be a better use than a piece of paper."

Garmadon sighed. "Instead of depending on the people, how about we try and do it ourselves? We will find the fang blades faster that way."

Kitty sighed, setting her notepad in her pack. "I should've thought of that."

"Who do you think Sensei Wu is going to find to help us?" Carol asked, "The samurai and the green ninja? Maybe we might be able to figure out who they are."

"Yeah, I think even the samurai and green ninja have figured out about the fang blades and have gone to search for them," Lloyd said.

"We have arrived!" Pixal called out, "Straight ahead!"

Everyone walked up to the mansion in front of them, bigger than what they expected. They saw someone sitting in a wheelchair on the huge back patio, a middle-aged man wearing glasses with black hair straight as a board, wearing a sweater and straight jacket. He smiled and began rolling down a large ramp, quickly wheeling his way over to the ninja.

Pixal ran up to him. "Father!" She stopped quickly and embraced him, shedding every bit of love into his heart. "It is wonderful to see you again."

"The same to you, my beloved daughter," the man said. Once he and Pixal stopped embracing, he looked at everyone she brought with her. "My goodness, you have a lot of friends, Pixal. I believe some introductions are in order so I can tell who is who."

"Of course." Pixal walked over to the ninja. "I would like for you to meet the rest of my team. This here is Nya, Carol and Kitty. My friends, this is my father, Cyrus Borg."

"Good to meet you," Kitty said.

"Hi," Carol said, giving a friendly wave.

"Oh, my gosh!" Nya exclaimed, "I can't believe it's really you! It's such an honor to meet you, Mr. Borg. I'm Nya Smith. Daughter of a blacksmith, but I absolutely love technology, especially everything you've invented. I may have been born in a village with only the basic technology, but I've studied your work and I plan on becoming an inventor myself one day."

Cyrus Borg chuckled. "Well, it's always a pleasure to meet fans of my work. I enjoy being surrounded by people like you."

Nya squealed in excitement. "So awesome!"

Pixal only smiled while introducing everyone else. "Allow me to introduce everyone else, Father. This here is Jay. He is helping to repair the monastery. This is Kai, Nya's eldest brother. This here is Lloyd and these are his parents, as well as our teachers, Misako and Garmadon. This is our friend, Zelda. And this here is Monica, the daughter of Master Wu, who was not able to accompany us as he has departed on a personal journey."

"It is an honor to meet all of you," Borg said, "Please, follow me inside. I'm sure you'd like to visit inside the home."

When they went inside, they could tell it was bigger than the outside. Filled with portraits and pictures and paintings, inventions protected in glass casings, and various vases filled with plants all over the main room.

"This reminds me of what the inside of a British mansion would look like," Carol said.

"Your home is beautiful, Mr. Borg," Misako said, "You and your wife must have wonderful memories here."

"Oh, yes, we... did have happy memories," Borg said, giving out a sigh of sadness.

Misako gasped. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know."

"Oh, please. Don't apologize. It was a long time ago shortly after Pixal was born. I have healed from her loss over the years, but I will never forget her. Just keeping her memories in my heart keeps me strong everyday."

"And I feel the same way, Father," Pixal said, placing a hand on Borg's shoulder, "She is within both of us."

Kai cleared his throat. "So, pardon me from changing the subject, but we hear from Pixal that you're receiving an award for Best Inventor."

"You mean I've been nominated," Borg said, "I am going against another inventor, and let me tell you, one successful invention will not be enough to help him earn such a reward. Have any of you ever heard of Stanley Moore?"

"Nope," Kitty said.

"Doesn't ring a bell," Garmadon said.

"I do," Nya said, "He's the inventor of the Moore Microwave. Every single one of them ended up getting recalled because they were reported to explode and catch on fire."

"And he can't even design a simple video game controller," Lloyd said, "The one I used made by him ended up breaking apart into pieces. I spent fifty bucks on that, too."

"Well, I assure you that I take time to create each and every single creation that have been made by my two hands," Borg said, "Every phone, appliance and video game system never leave Borg Tower unless they are inspected by yours truly. Unlike Moore Creations, Borg Industries will make sure everything works as it should. Because we have one motto."

"The future is what we make it," Pixal said.

"Well, that's reassuring," Monica said, "Because the use of technology is what's gonna help us stop the Serpentine."

Footsteps were heard entering the front doors of the house and a woman who looked to be in her sixties with gray hair tied back in a bun and wearing a blue dress with a white apron entered, carrying a sack of groceries in each arm. But when she saw Pixal, she dropped the groceries and ran up to hug the nature ninja. "Oh, Pixal, it's so wonderful to see you again, dear."

"The same to you, Edith," Pixal said. She turned to face everyone. "Everyone, this is Edith. She has been my caretaker since I was an infant."

"An she is such a precious little angel," Edith said, pinching Pixal's cheeks, "I have never been able to have children in my life, but when I heard that Mr. Borg needed a caretaker for Pixal, I hopped on a train from Jamanakai Village and came right over. And even though Pixal isn't home at this moment, there are plenty of other things to do around here. Which reminds me, Pixal. You should show your friends your room. They'll love it. I've dusted it every day for you."

"Thank you, Edith," Pixal said, "Follow me, girls."

"I will take this time to give the rest of you a tour of the home," Borg said.

Pixal led the ninja upstairs. Following behind the ninja was Zelda, who couldn't hide behind for long. Kitty gave her a look. "What are you doing?"

"Joining in," Zelda said, "You know I love to explore. And one exploration I enjoy is personalities. I wish to get to know you all more."

"Ask and you shall receive," Nya said, "You don't have to learn by looking at your surroundings. You could just ask."

"I learn more from pictures on the wall than I do from people. Now let us continue forward."

Pixal walked over to a door that had a sign that said in beautiful cursive letters "Pixal's Room." Opening the door, she showed everyone the inside. They were expecting to see a room filled with plants, but they weren't expecting to see that it looked like any ordinary rich girl's dream room that normal girls wished they had.

There was a bed with blue bed clothes and sparkling green curtains. They spotted a few stuffed animals lying on the pillows. They also took noticed of the walls. It was painted as a meadow. In one corner of the room was her dresser and closet along with a place to sit around and watch television. In the other corner was a desk filled with papers and books, a bulletin board with ideas and blueprints pinned on, a bookshelf filled to the brim with books of all genres and a computer. It was definitely the room of every girls dream.

"Oh, my gosh!" Carol exclaimed, "Pixal, your room is amazing! I'm so jealous, but in a good way."

"Forget about living the simple life," Nya said, "You have the best life."

"As I have said before, my life is ordinary," Pixal said, "But please make yourselves comfortable."

"And this is the perfect time for us to be discussing ways on how to find those fang blades," Kitty said, "So let's get to work."

"Come on, Kitty," Nya complained, "We shouldn't be planning ideas for things we haven't the slightest clue for where they could possibly be." She sank in one of the bean bag chairs. "Take a break. Enjoy this room while we still can."

"Pixal, please tell me you have a closet full of stuffed animals," Carol said, "It will make me so happy if you do." She opened a door, but that's when she found it didn't lead to the closet. It led into the bathroom. She gasped. "You have your own bathroom? You are literally the most popular in the group." She goes inside the bathroom.

Kitty groaned. "Carol, don't start playing around in there."

"As I said, you may make yourselves comfortable," Pixal said.

Kitty sighed. "Can we start acting serious here? This is no time to be playing around."

Nya got a buzz sound on her phone. Taking it out, she saw Kai on the screen. Sitting up, she said, "What's up, bro?"

"Mr. Borg needs to see all of you," Kai said, "It's urgent."

Kitty nodded. "Enough fooling around, girls. Let's go." She rushes out of the room.

Carol walked out of the bathroom, shaking her head. "Why is she so serious all of a sudden?"

Nya shrugged. "No idea. Let's go."

The remaining three ninja and Zelda rushed out of Pixal's room and ran down the stairs, finally catching up with Kitty and making it down to the living room.

"I apologize for interrupting your enjoyment here, but I have just received a call from an old friend of mine," Borg said, "Dr. Adam Julien just notified me about one of his creations going haywire in the Ninjago National Forest. He calls it a juggernaut."

"A what?" Carol asked.

"No time to ask questions," Garmadon said, "Head out there and stop it."

"Let's go," Pixal said.

The girls rushed outside to bring out the Silver Jet, but then noticed that Zelda rushed out with them. "I beg of you. Allow me to come along with you. My grandfather has taught me to fight and defend myself. You may need my aid."

"You best let us take care of this, Zelda," Nya said, "We don't exactly know what this thing will do. We'll return as soon as we can."

Zelda sighed. "Alright. I will be waiting for your safe return."

The ninja combined their weapons to become the Silver Jet and off they flew through the skies. Luckily, Ninjago National Forest wasn't too far from Borg Mansion, so it didn't take long to get there. Once they arrived, they found a large opening and landed there.

Carol looked around, but all she could see was trees. "If I could find any forest creatures, I might be able to communicate with them to see if they've seen anything unusual out here."

"Oh, sure, let's try talking to animals," Kitty said, "That never fails."

"What has gotten into you? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, grumpy pants?"

Kitty groaned. "No. I don't feel good and I just wanna get this over with so we can go home or whatever and eat all the junk food I want."

Nya rolled her eyes. "Now I see what's wrong with you. Try not to get on Kitty's bad side, girls."

Carol shushed everyone. "I'm hearing something."

Rustling could be heard in the bushes. It took a moment for the culprit to be a rabbit hopping about in a frantic way. He made his way over to Carol, who listened to every word he said. Nodding, she assured him that everything would be fine and sent him on his way.

"What did he say?" Pixal asked.

"He said that a giant metal creature was roaming the forest and its heading our way," Carol said.

"Let's get into position, girls," Nya said.

They waited a moment until suddenly, out of nowhere, the Robin was tossed out of the trees, landing in front of Pixal. She bent down to pick the feathery creature up, only to realize that the Robin was sparking. She gasped. "You are... a robot?"

"Okay, that was unexpected," Carol said.

BOOM!

Trees began falling and coming through the dusty cloud was a large bronze-colored robot with turquoise-colored eyes. It was also armed with two cannons that pivoted over its shoulders.

"I sense this is the Juggernaut," Pixal said.

The Juggernaut used its robotic optics to spot the ninja, thinking they were the enemy. "Intruder! Intruder! Prepare to be terminated!"

"Ninja Go!" the ninja chanted, using spinjitzu to crowd up on the giant robot. But he uses his hands to push them away, making them land on the ground.

"Intruder! Intruder!" the Juggernaut said, "Prepare to be terminated!"

"Not today!" Kitty shouted, sending a rope of vines to tie him up.

The Juggernaut used its cannons to try and blast the ninja out of the way, but Nya got behind him. Using her fans, she sprayed water on the robot, causing his systems to go haywire and caused him to malfunction. It was only a few seconds later when his eyes were no longer shining and he fell over on his side.

The ninja cheered, happy to have defeated the Juggernaut, knowing that they just saved the forest.

"I can't believe we just defeated a robot!" Carol exclaimed, "So amazing!"

"Sure was," Nya said, "Now that we've taken care of this problem, let's get this big metal guy out of here."

Kitty gasped. "Wait a minute. Where's Pixal?"

They looked around and heard a scream of pain. They looked to see Pixal lying on the ground, groaning in pain. Not hesitating for a minute, they rushed up to her and their worried faces turned into looks of shock and fear.

There they saw Pixal holding the robotic Robin in her hands, her eye twitching and her body sparking.

And by her left side laid a small pool of black blood...
