Lloyd ran from bedroom to bedroom. The windows were all locked and Krux and Acronix were nowhere to be found. As he stood in the living room, trying to figure out where they could be hiding, he saw Skylor's elemental dragon land in the courtyard next to the ninja.
"What's going on now?" Skylor asked as Lloyd ran into the courtyard.
"Krux and Acronix escaped," Lloyd said.
"Seriously? I'm beginning to feel like I should just quit my job and become a full-time ninja."
"Sorry, Skylor. But we really need your help. Mom, Dad, and Wu are still inside looking for them. P.I.X.A.L. is standing by on the Bounty in case we need it. None of you left the courtyard, right?"
"We've been here ever since you went inside," Kai said.
"We haven't seen them," Nya added.
"Where could they be hiding?" Lloyd asked.
"Ray and Maya are on their way to help," Skylor said.
"If only we could convince Hermes to help us."
Before Skylor could respond, they heard some yelling coming from inside the monastery. A moment later, Wu flew through the window to the dojo.
"Uncle Wu!"
Everyone ran over to him.
"I am alright," Wu said as he slowly stood up with Lloyd's help.
Acronix flew through the window and everyone ran to get out of his way. Lloyd looked up and saw Garmadon fighting with Krux.
"Where were they hiding?" Lloyd asked as he watched Acronix stand up.
"In the rafters of the dojo," Wu said. He turned to face Acronix.
"Give it up, old man," Acronix taunted.
"You're outnumbered! Surrender and maybe we'll go easy on you," Lloyd said.
"You mean like the last time you had me outnumbered?"
"We destroyed all of the vermillion eggs and my dad is taking care of your brother right now. Plus, we know what you're capable of this time. Again I say, surrender."
"You couldn't beat me last time when you had all of your little friends here to help."
Just then, Krux came out holding Misako with a knife at her throat. Garmadon was behind them
"Mom!"
"I'm okay, sweetie," Misako said.
"Use the Primal Elements," Wu whispered in Lloyd's ear.
Lloyd looked at Wu, who nodded. He whispered the same thing in Skylor's ear. She nodded and faced the Time Twins.
"Face it. We've already won. As soon as we get the Time Blades, this world will be ours," Krux said.
"You don't even know where they are," Lloyd said.
"We'll find them and convince whoever has them to hand them over."
While the twins laughed, Lloyd took a deep breath and sent a bolt of lightning at Acronix. Acronix flew backward and hit the wall of the monastery. Misako took advantage of the distraction and bit Krux's hand. When he screamed, she kicked his knee and managed to free herself. She ran to Garmadon who punched Krux in the face.
Acronix stood up and growled. He charged towards Lloyd, but Skylor blasted a huge fireball at him.
"Stay out of this, worm," Acronix said.
"You brought me into this when you sent my boyfriend to another realm," Skylor spat. She hurled another fireball at him.
"Boyfriend? Which one of them were you dating?"
"Kai."
"Seriously? I knew Ray was an idiot, but I didn't think he was that big of an idiot."
"Don't talk about Ray like that." Lloyd blasted Acronix with an ice blast, but he dodged. Krux tried to sneak up on Lloyd, but he blasted him with another ice blast. Krux growled as Skylor sent a pillar of rock hurling towards them. Krux and Acronix just barely managed to jump out of the way before it crashed into the courtyard wall, sending bits and pieces of rock everywhere.
When the dust settled, Krux and Acronix were standing on the roof of the monastery.
"Get down from there!" Wu yelled.
"Careful what you wish for." Krux and Acronix slipped on some of Jay's gliders and jumped off the roof.
