A/n: So, this chapter will focus on PIXAL and Code. It will be longer than normal, so be ready. Also, it may feel a bit rushed. Sorry, but I did my best to fix it.
Here it is.
Code was falling. The time portal had opened up in the air somewhere and, being a person, not a bird, she couldn't fly. So she took to falling, instead. She soon landed on something metal and hard that hurt a lot. When her back made contact with whatever it was, there was a metallic clanging sound, and then a crunching beneath her.
Just from that, Code could tell she'd broken something, and it wasn't just her back.
"Code, are you alight?" PIXAL's voice asked.
"I'm alive. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, though." Code answered, not opening her eyes.
"In this case, it is debatable." PIXAL said.
"WHAT?!" Code yelled, sitting up, "You're supposed to tell me it's always a good thing!"
"I apologize." PIXAL answered.
Code looked around, there were machines everywhere. Conveyer belts moved various pieces of technology through scrapers, flame throwers, and blades. She knew where they were; the factory line in Borg Industries.
She stood up, hearing more metallic crunches beneath her.
"PIAXL, what is this?" She asked, pointing to the metal box beneath her.
"The Power Connection Exhibiter." PIXAL said simply.
"And what does that do?' Code asked.
"It connects Borg Industries to New Ninjago City's power source." PIXAL answered slowly.
"So the power's about to go off because of me?" Code asked.
PIXAL nodded.
"And we still don't know when we are?" Code asked.
"No." PIXAL answered, "Although, I expect that we will soon."
As if on cue, all the lights went off. PIXAL and Code managed to walk to the hallway, where workers were running around holding candles and glow sticks.
"Calm down, everyone, please!" Cyrus said, and then realized something, "Where is PIXAL?"
One worker stepped forward, carrying the Past-PIXAL's body.
"She's here!" The worker said.
"Oh, no. We need to get her back online. And to do that, I will need all of your help to replace the Power Connection Exhibiter." Cyrus said.
"Sir, we have a school field trip coming in thirty minutes!" Another worker said.
"Call and cancel. We need time to get this place back in shape." Cyrus answered. The worker ran off to do as she was told.
Two hours later, Cyrus and his workers were able to replace the Power Connection Exhibiter. The lights were back on, and Past-PIXAL was powered again. Code and PIXAL were now hiding behind some plants in the lobby, and Digital Wu was on mute.
"PIXAL, which field trip did we have to cancel?" Cyrus asked Past-PIXAL.
"Sensei Wu's Academy, Sir." Past-PIXAL answered.
At this, PIXAL realized something.
"Code, I believe we have made a terrible mistake." She whispered.
"Why?" Code asked.
"Because this was the day I met the Zane and the Ninja. Only now, their field trip has been canceled." PIXAL said.
"Oh, no. This is bad!" Code said, "If you never met the ninja, you and Cyrus can't warn them about the Overlord taking over! You'll never be taken to Chen's island, never be scrapped, and…I'll never be adopted!"
"We must fix this!" PIXAL exclaimed.
"Yeah, and I have a plan." Code smirked.
"Actually, Code, we could-" PIXAL started.
"Here it is: What if we steal the techno blades? We could give them to the ninja, ourselves!" Code said.
"Yes, we could. But-" PIXAL said.
"Great! Let's go all Ocean's 8 on this place!" Code said.
"What?" PIXAL asked.
"It's a movie." Code told her, "Never mind."
"Alright. But first, we will need disguises." PIXAL explained.
"Why?" Code asked.
"In case someone sees us, so they do not have a glimpse into the future." PIXAL told her, then took a pen out of her pocket.
"If you're going to draw a mustache on me, I don't think that'll work." Code said.
"It is not like that." PIXAL said.
She pressed a button on the pen, and it shined a blue light at the tip. She pointed it just above Code's head, and slowly moved it down to the floor, as if scanning her with it. She then turned it around, and did the same to herself.
Now, PIXAL had the same hair style, but it was all purple. Her facial wires were gone, but her skin was still white. Her eyes were now purple, and she wore a lighter purple eyeshadow and lipstick. She was wearing Black pants, and a black leather jacket. She also had black leather boots, to top it off, and wore a black bracelet with silver spikes. She also had a black necklace with silver spikes.
"This is not the disguise I would have chosen but, it looks the least similar to me." PIXAL explained.
"No, no. It looks good." Code said, "But I don't know how I'm supposed to explain your unnaturally white skin…I know! You'll be…A droid of my own invention. Yeah, and you're, um, part of a Goth biker gang! Yeah, that's why you're so pale and you wear black leather!"
"So, I am one of the…Sons of Garmadon?" PIXAL asked.
"Well, sort of. It doesn't really matter." Code answered.
"Alright." PIXAL said, and handed Code a mirror.
She looked fairly normal, but she was wearing a pink tutu. Her hair now had pink streaks in it, and her pink high heels sparkled.
"Nice." She said, "Shall we go?"
PIXAL nodded, and Code put her on her shoulder. She then walked into to the elevator, and was surprised to see that there was no security. When they got up to the 100th floor, it was deserted.
Code spotted the Techno Blades laying on a table, walked over, and grabbed them.
"Well, that was easy." She said.
"What was easy?" A voice said. Code turned, and saw that it was security guard.
"And who might you be?" He asked.
"Um, I'm…Goldie. And this is my invention…Alexa!" Code said, pointing to PIXAL. The female droid nodded, but the guard didn't seem to care.
"What? Is she part of some movie called Snow White?" He asked.
"Oh, no. She's part of a Goth Biker Gang." Code said simply.
"Goth biker gang?" The guard asked, "Cool." He pointed to the Techno Blades. "But, I can't let you take those. They belong to Mr. Borg, and they're very important."
"Oh. Okay. Well, in that case," Code said, taking PIXAL off of her shoulder, "RUN!"
They bolted in opposite directions, but the guard quickly caught PIXAL.
"Fine." Code pouted, and handed the Techno Blades to the guard, "I give up."
"Good." The guard said, setting PIXAL down. To Code's surprise, he let them go with a warning. When the elevator doors closed, she sighed.
"Well, Code, we could always-" PIXAL started.
"I have a new plan!" Code said.
"What is it?" PIXAL sighed.
"We kidnap your past self!" Code said, "That way, we can take her to the ninja, and she can warn them about the Overlord!"
"Okay…" PIXAL said, unsure.
A/n: So, what did you think? How do you think PIXAL and Code will solve this problem? Will they get back to the future?
