A/n: Okay, so I'm posting this chapter a day early because I'm going out of town tomorrow. But I should be back by Monday, so that chapter will come at it's normal time.

"Now what?" Cryptor whispered.

"Turn invisible and bang me against the wall a few times!" Zane whispered back. Cryptor nodded, and did as he was told.

"Zane, watch out!" Past-PIXAL shouted, but it was too late. Cryptor had already hit him several times.

Inside the power station, Echo was sitting in corner, trying to stay out of the way of the fight. Suddenly, he heard Zane's voice from outside.

"Shut off the power!" Zane yelled, and Echo knew the command was for him. He got up, and ran to the power core. If only he could find a way to break through it.

First he tried punching it, which did nothing other than hurt his hand. Next he tried stabbing a sword through it. That didn't work either; the sword shattered into thousands of tiny pieces. Then he tried burning it with the built in fire lighter he had in his arm. But it blew up in his face, literally. Finally, Echo decided to try kicking it.

He didn't think it would work, but he got a running start anyway. He backed up to the closest wall, and ran forward as fast as he could. Then he slammed his entire body into the glass as hard as he could. To his surprise, the glass shattered around him, and he was now inside the power core.

As soon as he was in, however, Echo started to spin around uncontrollably. He felt a ball of blue energy materialize around him, and knew he'd made a mistake by being inside to core.

"Uh, oh." He said, and then the ball exploded, cutting of New Ninjago City's power. Nindroids fell to the floor, and Echo was disoriented.

"Wooho!" Jay said, his arms in the air, "We did it!"

Everyone smiled, and hugged each other.

"Yep, we did!" Kai said.

Suddenly, Past-Zane realized something.

"PIXAL!" He shouted, and ran out of the room.

"What am I supposed to do?" Cryptor whispered to Zane.

"Act like you've been shut off!" Zane whispered back before jumping onto the lower level again. Cryptor did as he was told, and fell on the floor.

Past-Zane came outside, and saw PIXAL laying on the floor. He ran over, and held her in his arms. The other ninja soon came out and joined him. Past-Zane did think it was a little weird that General Cryptor seemed to have been inside one minute, and outside the next, but he didn't really care. All he cared about right now was PIXAL.

"This is why I wanted to stay back; so you would not s-see this." Past-PIXAL said.

"You knew this would happen?" Past-Zane asked, his voice breaking.

"Your mission was important. I-I was not. I-I am to a-ssist, I assisted." Past-PIXAL answered.

"You're using up your reserve." Past-Zane said, looking around, "Don't say anything more until we find you more power."

"You've destroyed the only power source in N-Ninjago. Power will all be non-existent." Past-PIXAL told him. She then took his hand. "We are not so d-different, are we? We a-are compatible?" She asked.

"Yes," Past-Zane smiled, "Yes, we are."

The color faded from Past-PIXAL's eyes, and they closed. Her hand then fell to the floor, and Past-Zane's heart broke. Nya came over, and laid a hand on his shoulder. After a while, they left for Jay's parents' Junkyard, Past-Zane carrying Past-PIXAL with him.

Cryptor sat up, and Zane climbed back onto the top level.

"Was that conversation as corny, depressing, and ridiculous as before? Or did it change?" He asked, smirking.

"It was the same, thanks to you." Zane said.

"Well, I'm always happy to help break your heart." Cryptor said. Zane laughed, and helped him up. Just then, Echo walked out, covered in ash.

"I shut off the power." He said, coughing.

"Great job, brother." Zane exclaimed, hugging him.

"Thank you, brother." Echo answered. Behind them, Cryptor snickered.

"What is it?" Zane asked.

"I just didn't expect you to be doing this right now," Cryptor stated, "After all, you're both so possessive of PIXAL."

"Speaking of PIXAL," Zane said, turning to Echo, "Stay away from her."

"I cannot make any promises." Echo smirked.

Suddenly, a portal opened up behind them.

"Another time portal?" Zane asked.

"Should we go through it?" Echo suggested.

"Maybe not." Cryptor said as Code stepped out.

"Oh, hey, guys!" She said, and then looked surprised, "You look different."

"And your hair has pink streaks." Echo stated.

Next, PIXAL came through the portal, still in her disguised form.

"Oh, hello." She said, seeing the others, "You look like your past selves."

"And you look like you're part of a Goth Biker Gang." Cryptor stated.

"Thank you!" Code shouted, "Finally; someone gets it!"

Zane and PIXAL made eye contact. Zane held up his Disguise Pen, and PIXAL did the same. They both scanned themselves, so they looked normal again. Then, PIXAL scanned Code and Zane scanned Cryptor.

"Do you have an object?" Zane asked.

"Yes; this microchip." PIXAL said, showing it to him.

"Right! We need an object." Echo realized, and went back into the power station.

He came out with a shard of glass in his hand.

"This is from the power core. It'll symbolize the important moment in Cryptor's past." He said, smiling.

"Oh! Do we have a story to tell you!" Code exclaimed.

Suddenly, a time portal opened next to her.

"Are you kidding me?!" She yelled as it sucked her in.

However, no one else felt the magnetic pull, except Zane.

"Woah!" He yelled as he was dragged in.

"Zane!" PIXAL exclaimed.

"Not again!" Cryptor yelled.

A/n: Only four more chapters! Soon, we'll find out who Code's parents were. Is she related Lloyd, or are her powers just a coincidence? What do you think?
