At Mega Monster Amusement Park, creatures are laughing and cheering together, but then they started screaming when the Vermillion Warriors appeared and started taking apart metal pieces from every rides and metal items from stands. "What are those things!" A creature called out.
"What do they want?!" Another yelled as the Vermillion Warriors then stripped the mascots of their metal related costumes.
"Not the mascot!" A woman exclaimed as the Vermillion Warriors rushed off.
On the tunnel ride, an earth pony colt and griffon gave board expressions from the ride they were on. "Not cool." The earth pony colt waved off before they passed two Vermillion Warriors.
"So lame." The griffon waved off, thinking it was part of the ride.
"Not cool." The earth pony said before the Vermillions jumped in and started taking the ride apart as the two boys screamed.
"So lame!" The griffon yelled.
"Not cool!" The earth pony cried out.
The Vermillions continue to take apart the rides while Raggmunk watches the chaos. "Ah, I just love the smell of screams in the evening." He said with a smile.
Then coming from the entrance were the Ninja as they parked their vehicles. "Mega Monster Amusement Park? Really? Don't these guys have any sense of decency?" Landrush questioned.
"I don't think they have, darling." Gaia said to her coltfriend. "When does this madness end?"
"It ends here and now." Lloyd said firmly.
"But with all the chaos, how do we know which area is damaged from these Snakurai's chaos from stealing metal?" Spike questioned in wonder.
"Pixal, give me a danger analysis." Frost said as he still couldn't get a response. "Pixal? Pixal, respond. I need a danger analysis."
"Here's one darling!" Rarity gasped when she saw what the Vermilion Warriors were doing. "The roller coaster!" She pointed towards the roller coaster where a few Vermilion Warriors were dismantling the tracks with some creatures still on the ride.
"Frost, Rainbow, Gaia, Landrush, get up there fast!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Right!" Rainbow called as she flew up while Frost, Gaia, and Landrush did Airjitzu to the top.
"Got it!" Landrush called as they flew up to the coaster.
"The rest of you, spread out! Time to make this place a snake-free zone!" Lloyd declares as they put on their hoods. "We can do this, team!" He added as they rushed into the carnival.
"Wow, listen to Lloy taking charge." Trail said to his sister. "I like it. He's starting to get this Master thing down like Twilight who mastered being Ruler of Equestria."
Flash then came up to them. "That's why they're the leaders." He said as he flew ahead.
On the coaster, the creatures screamed as Gaia and Frost Airjitzued up. "Frost, I'll create a vine path! You freeze it solid, darling!" She instructed.
"Got it." Frost nodded as Gaia quickly made a vine path for the carts as Frost quickly froze them as the creatures on the carts rode down the frozen vines before safely placed to ground level as some of Frost's ice made a big snow cone on a colt's cup before the stallion shrug and pour some flavors on it.
Back on the roller coaster, Landrush and Rainbow are knocking away some Vermillion Warriors. "You don't have a ticket…" Landrush started.
"And you don't have a ticket…" Rainbow continued with a smirk.
"And you…" Landrush added.
"And you." Rainbow finished.
Aqua was on the ferris wheel while looking at the snakes with a glare. "Which one of you slime balls stole my Samurai X suit?!" She questioned as she jumped down to one of them. "Was it you?" She then kicked it away before hopping to another. "Or you?" She slashed it down. "Or you?!" She continued as she kicked another down as it gave a scream. "We're gonna go 'round and 'round and 'round until I get some answers!" She exclaimed.
With Clockwise and Tempura, the twin mares are fighting off the Vermillion Warriors on the ground as best they could. "You know, I gotta hand it to Dad, he sure knows how to make an army in a short amount of time." Clockwise commented.
"Yeah, but I still wonder why they need all this metal!?" Tempura called before she tripped a Vermillion Warrior down.
"But for what?!" Flash questioned as he blew some of the Vermilion away. "Why are they after metal in the first place?!"
"You tell me. He's they're dad and their uncle!" Irona called as she used her powers to remove some of the metals off the snakes and tossed them aside.
"Well, whatever they're planning, they sure know how to make chaos just by stealing metal!" Clockwise called as two Vermillion Warriors came in. "Eep!" She called as her hooves glowed green and she teleported away as the snakes smashed into each other as Clockwise appeared beside Irona. "I'm starting to get the hang of this power." She said with a smile as they kept fighting.
In the tunnel ride, the two boys are still screaming as the Vermillion Warriors are still taking apart their ride, but Trail jumped in and slashed them away as he gave a laugh as the two boys clapped to him. But then Trail saw a fake ghost and instinctively slashed it to pieces.
"Ah. Fake ghost, heh, heh. I knew that." Trail said embarrassedly as he gave a cough.
"So lame." The earth pony colt said.
"Not cool." The griffon said as they drove their ride off.
Trail raised a brow before he heard a hissing sound. "Whoa!" He called as he punched the snake apart out of its armor, but he caught the helmet before he saw a fire with a hammer and anvil in it. "Huh? That symbol. It's…" He said as he then had a flashback, but before he could focus any longer, the Vermillion Warrior took it's helmet back and put it on, but got it helmet on backwards as it walked around tripping into a box, trapping itself.
Raggmunk saw this as he then communicated through the hive mind. "A-Squadron, hold off the Ninja. The rest of you, keep bringing the metal. We must multitask." He ordered as a group of Vermillion Warriors hissed and walked up towards a Unicorn colt near the cotton candy stand.
"Leave him alone!" Lloyd called out as he charged forward and not the Vermilion Warrior back. "Mind if I borrow these?" He asked as he levitated some cotton candy and tossed them away as he knocked the two warriors down. "What's your name?" He asked the unicorn colt.
"I'm Spin Top." the colt said as he blew a blue gum, which Lloyd popped with the two sticks to make makeshift nunchucks as it used it to whack the Vermillion Warriors away and gave it to the colt, who started playing with it.
"Nice to meet you, Spin Top." Lloyd said.
"You too, Lloyd." Spin Top said as he walked off.
"NINJA, GO!" Lloyd called as he did Spinjitzu and knocked a few warriors away as he went to the center of the park. "Nince, sound off! Is everypony okay?!" He called as the others regrouped while fighting off the Vermillion Warriors.
"So far… barely!" Applejack exclaimed as Landrush and Gaia were tossed in front as they landed on each other.
"If you mean, 'Okay , there sure are a lot of them!' then, yeah, we're okay." Landrush retorted as Gaia got up and helped her coltfriend up.
"For the record, this is the least amusing amusement park I've ever been to." Clockwise mentioned as they claimed up on a damaged ride.
"These Snakurai are behaving seriously." Frost mentioned.
"You think?" Rainbow questioned. "'Cause boosting scrap metal doesn't seem like, you know, normal snake behavior."
"Neither does reforming into unstoppable Snakurais." Spike added.
"I mean strategically." Frost corrected. "They appear more interested in keeping us away from their compatriots that are stealing metal, than they are in actually defeating us."
"Well, they finally have to deal with us at full strength." Twilight said seriously. "And… hang on." She said as she looked around and saw one pony was missing. "Where's Thunder?!"
"I haven't seen him." Flash mentioned before he looked at the others. "Any of you?"
"No. Now that you guys mention it, he wasn't with us when we arrived." Trail said in realization.
"You know, just once, it would be nice to go into battle with a full team." Gaia complained.
"Well, don't tell us, tell Thunder!" Trail complained. "He's the one who took off for wherever without saying a word to us!"
"I'm sure she has a good reason." Fluttershy said.
"Yeah, Thunder always has a reason if he just left." Aqua added, defending her coltfriend.
"Well I'm glad you two are sure." Irona said with a brow as the crowd kept screaming while the Vermillion Warriors continued stealing metal.
At Script and Bolt's junkyard, some Vermillion Warriors are stealing some scrap and junk and putting them in a truck while Blunch oversees. "Yes! Keep it coming!" Blunck called out. "Can't disappoint Commander Machia. No, not the Hooves of Time's pet." He said sarcastically.
Then engines revved up as coming out was a forklift that Bolt was driving. "I reserve the right to refuse service to you!" He called as he knocked some warriors away as Script came out and used her broom to sweep the snakes away.
"I don't think they saw your sign in the front window, honey." Script said with a smile.
"Take your fangs off my parents, you darn dirty snakes!" Thunder called as he jumped off his motorcycle and shot a lightning blast at a warrior, knocking it back. "Mom! Dad! Are you okay?!" He asked in concern as he turned to his parents.
"Oh, well, I'm now very late for quilting circle…" Script tried to say before Thunder shocked more snakes down while Blunch saw this as he went into the hive mind.
"The ninja mustn't interfere." Blunch said to the troops with the hive mind. "Get over there and take him down." He ordered as a few warriors then went up to the forklift Bolt was on and started shaking it.
"Whoa. Whoa!" Bolt exclaimed before Thunder ran up to him and grabbed his dad before the forklift was tilted over. "Oh, Thunder, what's happening? These fellas came out of nowhere and started grabbing things!"
"Yeah, they do that." Thunder said as another warrior came up to Script and started pulling on the broom.
"Oh! Now that's rude!" Script exclaimed before Thunder shot another lightning at it, blasting it away as he grabbed his mother.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." Thunder said to them. "I'm gonna get you both out of here on my bike." He said as they turned to his bike, but it was taken apart by loose snakes as some of the parts fell on the ground as Thunder yelled in frustration.
Meanwhile in the middle of a swamp, Vermillion warriors were patrolling the place as in the center lies a big dome where both Borg and Dr. Gear is being held. They both had their front hooves crossed while they stood behind a workbench with a few items as Krux glared at them before his brother walked in. "Everything is moving along according to plan, brother." Acronix told him. "The metal is coming in by the snake load, and our, ahem, laborers are already hard at work on their various projects." He said as he walked up to Krux. "How's it going with Borg and Dr. Gear?"
"Poorly." Krux said with a frown. "They barely made any progress on the apparatus." He said as he showed a makeshift junk item. "And I thought you two were supposed to be this era's greatest inventors!"
"How can we create anything with these substandard materials?!" Borg questions while waving a spoon at them. "Chunks of metal, tiny scraps! And these!" He then held up one of the fake trophies the Vermilion stole. "These aren't even good trophies!"
"I mean seriously, why would you give us a spoon as a tool?!" Gear asked before holding up a fork. "Have you ever even seen real tools before? But you haven't because you've been stuck here for 40 years and have been hiding away like a coward, Krux!"
"Gggrrr!" Krux growled as Acronix chuckled.
"She got you there, brother." Acronix said with a chuckle.
"Excuses!" Krux countered. "In my day, we built with anything at hoof. Craftsmanship meant something back then."
"You think I don't know that?!" Gear questioned. "I crafted and built my sons with my own hooves and heart when I was just a young mare!"
"You know, I think you two can build the apparatus, but you just don't want to." Krux accused.
"Oh finally, someone caught on to what we were doing." Gear said sarcastically with an eye roll. "You're not the first to kidnap me and make me build a weapon for your own benefit, you know."
"And you can't make us do it." Borg said with his hooves crossed.
"Hm…" Krux said with a frown. "Don't be so sure." He said before they heard hissing sounds. "Ah, Commander Machia! I see you received my message." He said as Machia came in.
"I did." Machia nodded. "What was so important that you pulled me from the battlefield? I'm reluctant to leave details up to those fools, Blunch and Raggmunk."
"It appears two of our workers are reluctant to do their job." Krux told her while gesturing to both Gear and Borg. "I was hoping you could… motivate them." He said with a smirk as Machia climbed up to the table.
"With pleasure." Machia said with a smirk as her snakes hissed while Borg was scared while Gear gave a glare.
"No, no, no, wait! W-We'll do whatever you want!" Borg cried while the Time Twins watched while Acronix hid behind his brother nervously.
"Yes… I know you two will." Machia said with a smirk as her snakes tried to reach out to him, which caused Borg to scream while the Hooves of Time and Gear watches.
"So… so, so tickly!" Borg cried as one of Machia's snakes are slithering under his arms as he tried not to laugh while Dr. Gear raised a brow. "So, so terribly awful!"
"I didn't realize Borg was ticklish." Gear said with a brow before one of Machia's snakes slithered up to her, but Gear grabbed it and crushed it a bit, causing the snake to hiss in pain before slithering back. "Don't even try it. You might get Borg, but you'll have trouble getting me."
"Would you rather I eat him?" Machia asked with a malevolent smile, causing both Gear and Borg to have worried expressions.
"I like her." Acronix told his brother with a smile. "She's…mean."
"Sounds like somepony has a crush." Krux mentioned with a smug smile.
"I do not!" Acronix denied.
In the middle of the desert, the time vortex suddenly opened up again in the sky as a blue Time Blade, the Slow-Mo Blade that holds the second half of Acronix's powers, came down and crashed into the ground as another time wave was formed and spread throughout Equestria.
"I mean, she's cute, sure." Acronix said with a shrug. "On the surface, but deep down, she's a pile of sssssssaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkeeeeeeesssssss." He said when the slow mo wave hit them and everything around them, including themselves, was slowing down.
The wave soon hit Mega Monster Amusement Park as the ninja was fighting off the Vermilion warriors. The moment the wave hit, Clockwise felt its power coursing through her as she then began to feel ill like she did when the fast forward energy hit as her eyes have a blue glow briefly.
At the junkyard, Thunder was fighting the Vermillion Warriors before the wave hit them as well before he knocked a Vermillion Warrior away.
Back at the Hooves of Time hideout, the time bubble then went past them as time was now moving normally again as Krux smirked. "It has arrived, brother." Krux said with a smirk as he turned and saw Acronix on the Borg Watch as Krux frowned. "Did you not hear me? The next Time Blade has arrived!" He said to him, but Acronix was still looking at the watch. "Which means, we should be out looking for it! And yet, you play foal's games?!"
Acronix frowned as he turned to his brother. "I am trying to discern the blade's location on my smartwatch!" He exclaimed. "However, if you keep distracting me…" He said while waving his hooves.
"Fine, fine!" Krux sighed in annoyance. "As usually like my daughter Clockwise, you have far too much faith in technology. Doesn't seem like a very smart watch to me." He retorted.
"Actually, the BorgWatch is the smartest smartwatch ever." Dr. Gear pointed out.
"Yes. There's a heart rate monitor, a GPS unit, and even a temporal anomaly locator." Borg listed as Acronix activated a holomap of a canyon.
"I keep asking myself why did you even put a temporal anomaly locator on a smartwatch?" Dr. Gear questioned with a brow at Borg.
"I just thought after that first Time Wave hit, I thought it would be useful." Borg replied sheepishly.
"And it is, for the Time Blade of Slow-mo is at latitude 34°, longitude, 28°." Acronix told his brother.
Dr. Gear, Brog, Machia, and even Acronix gave Krux teasing smirks as Krux sighed. "Very well. It appears technology has its uses. Maybe. Sometimes." He said as he walked off with his head lowered as Machia looked at the coordinates.
"Hm, the Eastern Sea of Sand in the badlands." Machia noted. "Given the Blade's location, our troops at both the scrapyard and Mega Monster Amusement Park can get to it before we can." Machia said with a thoughtful look. "I'm afraid Blunch and Raggmunk are in the best position to retrieve it."
"The Blade is now our top priority." Krux said seriously. "Commander Machia, make it so." She ordered as Marchia nodded as she then spoke through the hivemind.
"Blunch, Raggmunk, hear me." Machia said.
At the junkyard with the sun completely down, Thunder was still fighting off the Vermillion Warriors as Blunch received a mind word from Marchia. "Message received , Commander Machia." Blunch said before he turned to the troops. "Vermillion Warriors, we're leaving!" He called. "Take the builder, now."
Thunder chuckled when he heard that. "Vermillion Warriors? Really? That's what they're calling-" He tried off before he was pushed aside and saw his father being held down.
"Hey! Let go of me!" Bolt struggled as Thunder came up to him. "Watch it!" He yelled to the snake as Thunder came in and charged at the warrior and pinned him to the junk pile before a waggon fell on him.
Bolt gasped before he turned and saw Script still brooming the snakes on the ground while Blunch and the troops entered the truck. "Take her, she may be a builder also." He said while gesturing to Script, who flinched.
"Wait, wait! I don't like to go anywhere without my purse!" Script called before the claw from the cane grabbed her as she screamed.
"Script!" Bolt exclaimed as the warriors regrouped at the truck.
"Put me down!" Script yelled as the truck drove to the exit as she kept screaming. Thunder used his powers to get the wagon off him before he got up and saw his mother being taken away. "Help!"
"Mom!" Thunder cried as he rushed up to try and save her. "Hang on, I'm coming! Gotta dragon form up!" He called as he stopped as he tried to focus on his dragon form. "Come on, Thunder, you can do this. You can do this." He said as he tried to transform, but couldn't. "I can't do this, I'm too freaked!" He yelled, having his fears get the better of him prevented him from entering his dragon form.
"There's veggieloaf in the freezer, honey!" Script yelled out to her son in the distance as Thunder and Bolt watched her get taken away.
At Mega Monster Amusement Park, Raggmunk and his troops drove off on the rides out of the park while the Ninja looked around in confusion. "Is everypony alright?" Lloyd asked.
"Yeah, we think so." Flash said while rubbing his head.
"What just happened here?" Rainbow asked the others. "One moment we were fighting those things and then the next, everything just started to slow down!"
"RRRRRRRRReeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ssssssssssssssssllllllllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!" Clockwise said as she was covered in the same blue energy and talking, and moving, very slowly.
"Clockwise?" Tempura asked in concern as Clockwise slowly turned to her sister before the blue energy stopped as she tripped as her hooves stopped glowing blue.
"Oh, that sickness came back." Clockwise groaned before she felt the urge to puke before she rushed up to a nearby trash bin and puke in it as the others cringe in disgust.
"That's just disgusting." Rarity cringed.
"You ttttttttttthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk?" Clockwise asked when the blue energy covered her again.
"Slow motion that went out everywhere, and Clockwise having familiar powers that her uncle once had again?" Twilight listed out. "Something tells me another Time Blade just arrived."
"And it looks like Clockwise unlocked a new power because of it." Pinkie commented as Clockwise went back to normal speed as she groaned as her hooves stopped glowing.
"I was just getting used to fast forwarding in time. Slow down in time might take a bit longer." Clockwise said with a tired look before shaking her head as her sister placed a comforting hoof on her.
"You'll get used to it, in time." Tempura told her.
"Not fuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy." Clockwise replied with a look in slow motion.
"But that means those Snakurai are gonna retrieve the blade for Krux and Acronix." Morro pointed out.
"34, 28." Frost said as he stood up.
"Uh oh, I think Frost got knocked offline again." Fluttershy said in concern. "He's babbling numbers.
Aqua then realizes something. "No, that's latitude and longitude." She said.
"Aqua, upgrading my temporal scanner during my reboot was a good idea." Frost said with a smile.
"Well, I saw the new BorgWatch had one." Aqua said with a shrug as Clockwise got out of slow mo and looked at her watch.
"Yeah. Borg really made these things good." Clockwise said as she looked at her watch and the Easter Sea of Sand holomap appeared. "Must've put that on when the first Time Wave showed up."
"Okay, those are pretty cool." Irona said with a smile.
"The Time Blade iiiiiiiiiiissssssssssss-" Clockwise tried to say, but she was caught in her own slow mo bubble again.
"Okay, we're going with Frost." Trail said with a brow as he turned to the Nindroid. "Frost?"
"The Time Blade is in the Eastern Sea of Sand in the badlands." Frost informed them.
"That must be where they're heading!" Lloyd called out. "We can't let them get there first, come on!"
Clockwise then got out of her time bubble. "...at the Eastern-" She stopped when she saw the others looking at her with brows as she realized what they meant. "Don't tell me, Frost told you?" She asked.
"Yep." They all said in unison.
"Now saddle up, partners! We got another Time Blade to catch!" Applejack called as they all went to their vehicles and took off at high speed after the Vermillion Warriors.
Back with Thunder and his father, the Lightning Ninja looked down in guilt. "Oh, I just promised nothing was gonna hurt you guys! And now they've taken Mom!" Thunder called as they looked at the entrance while Bolt placed a hoof on his shoulder.
"It's going to be fine." Bolt assured his son with a smile. "I'm sure you'll come up with a way to save the day." He said as Thunder walked around.
"Yeah?" Thunder questioned as he kicked a part from his vehicle. "How can you be sure?"
"Well, because you have every other time the forces of evil have descended on this place." Bolt said as he went up to his son, who groaned as he placed his hooves on his shoulder. "Just remember what we say in the scrap metal business, 'Keep your emotions under control and focus on the problem at hoof.'"
"Do you actually say that?" Thunder questioned.
"Ah, it's a surprisingly harsh business, son." Bolt said with a smile. "The important thing is, we raised you to never give up. Like how you never give up to save Aqua and stop Nadakhan." He said with a determined smile.
Thunder gave a sigh. "You're right. I'm going after Mom!" He declared with determination.
"That's the spirit, son!" Bolt declared before they looked at his completely wrecked vehicle.
"Uh, where's the nearest train station?" Thunder asked before his father let out a chuckle.
"Hold on. I have something here that might be useful." Bolt said as he guided his son to another section of the junkyard. "Something that doesn't require a train ticket. Now normally, I don't believe in giving birthday gifts early, but your mother is in danger." He said as he walked up to a tarp covering something. "So I'm gonna make an exception." He said as he removed the tarp to reveal a homemade motorcycle. "Like it? I built it myself."
Thunder has a preplex look as he walks up to the makeshift motorcycle. "Um…" He started as he got on it, but the second he did, it immediately fell apart. "I've got some ideas for a few modifications. If that's okay."
"Only if you let me help." Bolt told him with a smile.
The next morning at the place where the Time Blade is at, Blunch and Raggmunk regrouped with each other. "Lovely morning for a ride in the desert." Blunch said with a smile.
"It's too blasted hot!" Raggmunk exclaimed.
"Yes, but it's a dry heat!" Blunch stated as he moved Script in the claw.
"You see, this is why I wanted my purse!" Script yelled. "I keep a bottle of water in it! Hydration is important!" She called out.
Coming out from behind them, the Ninja and the Council drove in at high speed. "I don't see the Time Blade, but-" Landrush started before he gasped when he saw somepony on the claw. "They have Thunder's mom!"
"That must be why Thunder left so suddenly." Aqua realizes. "But… where is he?" She asked, not seeing her coltfriend around.
"We have to worry about that later." Twilight spoke up. "There's still a chance to get to the Time Blade first. Split up!" She called as they all drove up in separate directions.
Landrush drove ahead, but was having trouble controlling his ride now that he knows he isn't a ghost anymore. "Come on. Come on!" He said to himself as he skidded on the ground before he saw a pillar in front of him as he gasped and moved his ride to the side in a narrow path as Landrush yells before he got his ride up straight. "Yes!" He cheered as he drove off.
"Nice one, Landy!" Gaia called out. Aqua then activated the weapon systems in one of the tanks as she fired at some of the Vermilion warriors.
Frost drove ahead as he scanned the area before he spotted the Time Blade. "We're approaching the Time Blade!" He exclaimed before they saw a Vermillion cart coming at them.
"Incoming!" Aqua called as they knocked and twirled around in the air as they crashed into the ground. She and Frost got out of their vehicle before they saw the truck coming as they quickly moved out of the way and they saw Script on the cane.
"Oh, Aqua, so nice to see you, dearie!" Script called out with a wave.
The supersonic jet came flying down as it took aim while Landrush drove up to the roller coaster carts riding on the ground. "Ninja, I have just the thing for you!" Raggmunk called as he held up a few snakes. "Snakey-snake-snake!" He exclaimed as he then tossed many snakes at the Ninja's vehicles, causing them to go crazy and crash into the ground as they each abandoned their rides.
"Oh, Rivet is not gonna like this." Spike said nervously, knowing Rivet will have a fit at the wrecked vehicles.
"Oh, I just waxed my ride too!" Rainbow complained as Raggmunk laughed as he saw the Time Blade ahead.
"The Time Blade, yes!" Raggmunk exclaimed with a smile. "Come to Raggmunk!"
"Hey! Why should you get the credit?!" Blunch exclaimed. "Mine!"
"The Time Blade!" Lloyd called.
"Don't let them get it!" Tempura exclaimed as they all rushed up to the Time Blade with the Vermillion Warriors getting close. "NO!" She cried out as Raggmunk grabbed the Time Blade.
"Yes, I got it!" Raggmunk cheered as they stopped as he got on the ground and held the Blade. "Oh, it feels better than I could ever imagined." He said as Blunch went up to him.
"Oh, can I hold it?" Blunch asked excitedly, but Raggmunk kept him back. "Let me hold it!" He pleaded before Raggmunk pushed him back and put the blade on as he saw the Ninja coming towards them.
"What's the rush, little fools?" Raggmunk quipped as he aimed the Time Blade and shot a time beam, which the Ninja avoided as it hit a Vermillion Warrior on a cart, trapping it in a time bubble as it slowed down.
"Nice shot." Blunch sarcastically said.
"It's my first time!" Raggmunk exclaimed in defense.
"Yes, we still have a chance!" Lloyd called out. "Move, move, move!" He called as they rushed ahead.
Blunch stepped towards Raggmunk and took the Time Blade. "Let me show you how it's done!" He called as he used the blade to shoot another time beam at the Ninja.
"NINJA,-" The Ninja, except for Irona, Clockwise, and Tempura, all did Spinjitzu, but they were hit by a time bubble and were slowed down in time while the sparks of their Spinjitzu was showing. "GGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOO!" They all called in slow motion.
"SSSSSSSSSSpppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkklllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" Pinkie giggled in the slow-mo bubble.
"Lucky shot." Raggmunk said to Blunch before turning to the other warriors. "Tear them apart." He ordered as the warriors got up and surrounded the time bubble the Ninja were in.
"Ooooooohhhhh, nnnnnoooo!" Landrush cried out.
"Wwwwweeeee'rrrrrreee ddddddooooommmmeeeedddd!" Trail exclaimed as they all got out of the time bubble and did Spinjitzu that knocked the warriors away while Tempura, Clockwise and Irona were in the middle as the snakes advanced closer.
With Thunder and his father, they are now on Thunder's new motorcycle, which was fixed up and has a new appearance with details of his elemental powers with two golden blades on the side. "Now Thunder, there's a speed limit…" Bolt tried to say.
"Mom is in trouble!" Thunder pointed out while driving.
"And there are times it's okay to ignore it." Bolt said with a serious look. "Hit it, son!" He called as he drove up to the battle as the group saw the two coming.
"It's Thunder!" Flash called with a smile.
Script smiled at her husband and son. "I hope you brought water!" She called out.
"Water won't help him!" Blunch called as aims the Time Blade to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Raggmunk questioned as he took the blade from him. "You're also gonna slow all of us!" He exclaimed as he and Blunch fought over the Time Blade.
"Exactly!" Blunch called as the Time Blade flipped and the two caught it, but it then created a massive time bubble that surrounded the entire group.
Thunder and Bolt looked in shock. "What is that?!" Thunder asked in shock as he skidded his motorcycle to stop before it entered the time bubble as they slowed down and saw the others surrounded by the Vermillion Warriors. Thunder and Bolt exited the bubble, but once out, they sped up and crashed into a rock as they screamed and crashed into the floor with a grunt.
"TTTTTTThhhhhhhuuuuuuunnnnnndddddddeeeeeerrrrrr!" Landrush cried out.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSooooooooonnnnnnnn!" Script called next while Blunch gave a laugh in slow motion.
Thunder helped his father up as they groaned from the crash. "Stay here, Dad." He said as he dust his father off and went up to his motorcycle.
"What are you gonna do?" Bolt asked as Thunder got his ride straight up.
"It's like you said. Never give up." Thunder said as he got on his motorcycle with a ride.
"Well, son, that was before I saw everypony slow to a snail's pace." Bolt said as Thunder parked next to him.
"Which is why we modified the bike." Thunder said with a smirk as he put on his hood and drove off.
"Oh!" Bolt said in realization as Thunder drove up to the time bubble.
"Lightning speed!" Thunder called as he focused his powers onto the bike, which surged up to the tires that sent Thunder's bike to superspeed so fast that once in the time bubble, it was like it was going at normal speed.
Everyone looked awed as Thunder used his bike to knock the Vermillion Warriors down since they were too slow to even react thanks to the time bubble. Blunch screamed in slow-motion as Thunder got one of his hooves out and kicked him down, causing him to let go of the Time Blade as it was sent flying in the air. Thunder then turned the bike around as he used the rides as a ramp as he grabbed his mother before they landed on the ground.
Just then, the Time Blade faced down as the time bubble disappeared and everyone moved normal again as the Time Blade and Vermillion Warriors fell to the ground from Thunder's attack. "Way to go, Thunder!" Spike cheered.
"Talk about making a comeback!" Clockwise exclaimed.
"And wow that bike was fast!" Rainbow added with an exciting smile, but Thunder's bike was still at superspeed as he sped past the others.
"SorryIleftyoubefore,can'tstop! PleasehelpmyDadandgettheblade! Seeyoubackatthetemple!" Thunder quickly yelled as he and his mother drove off at high speed.
"He can't control its speed, huh?" Irona asked with a brow.
"Looks like it." Morro said with a shrug.
The Vermillion Warriors looked at the Time Blade on the ground as Blunch picked it up before Raggmunk could as he gave a laugh, but Applejack came in and kicked him down, causing him to lose the Time Blade as it fell to the floor. Raggmunk and the others tried to grab it, but Trail came in and skidded on the ground as he took it.
"Looking for this?" Trail taunted while holding the Time Blade as Raggmunk growled and walked up towards him. "Catch!" He called as he tossed the Time Blade to Frost before he quickly tossed it over to Gaia.
"Oh you want it?" Gaia teased before tossing it over to Aqua before Twilight quickly took it from her.
"Stop playing around!" She demanded with a firm look. "We have the blade, now let's go!" She called as she rushed off with the Time Blade.
"Okay, I expected this from Lloyd, but remember how I said that Twilight is the great ruler of Equestria?" Trail asked his sister.
"Yeah?" Aqua nodded.
"I take it back." Trail said as the Ninja rushed off.
Blunch growled as he pushed Raggmunk aside. "After them!" He yelled as they all boarded their vehicles as the Ninjas and Bolt rushed off. "Go! Go! Go! Get the Time Blade!" He exclaimed as they all rushed after them.
As the Ninja ran, Trail tripped and saw the helmet as he saw the same symbol from before. "There's that symbol again!" Trail said as he picked it up as his sister rushed up to him.
"Go, go, go!" Aqua exclaimed as her brother snapped out of it as they all rushed off with the Vermillion Warriors behind them. "We're not going make it! We don't have enough time!"
"Actually, we do!" Clockwise exclaimed as she got an idea. "Twilight, toss me the blade!"
"What?!" Twilight called.
"Trust me!" Clockwise called as Twilight nodded and tossed her the Time Blade as she caught it and put her hoof in it. "Everypony, behind me! We have all the time we need!"
"Sis, what are you talking about?!" Tempura asked.
"If the blade puts Uncle Acronix's powers in more control, maybe it can help me get proper control of my powers!" Clockwise called as she then focused as the Time Blade and her hooves started glowing blue as they synced up and she shot her left front hoof and the Time Blade forward, shooting a time beam that created a time bubble that trapped the Vermillion Warriors as they slowed down.
"NNNNNNooooooo!" Raggmunk called in slow motion.
"Ahahah! I can't believe that worked!" Clockwise cheered as her hooves stopped glowing.
"Great work, Clockwise!" Lloyd called as they rushed off before Lloyd went to Bolt. "Come on, Mr. Cracker. That time bubble won't last long!" He called as they rushed up to the damaged vehicles.
"Will it last long enough for us to get these heaps in the shop?" Bolt asked as the Ninja inspected their damage rides.
"Probably not." Landrush said as he held up a piece of his ride.
"They are so gonna pay for this. I had my loveable ride as it is." Rarity complained.
"You said it." Spike said in agreement before holding the wheel to one of the vehicles.
"The Super Sonic Raider Jet!" Lloyd called out.
"But will it fly? Because it had a ton of snakes in there." Pinkie said while scratching her hooves.
"She got a point." Irona said in agreement.
Frost walked up to the jet and scanned it. "The only damage to the jet is the port wing. Which I can stabilize." He said.
"Yeah, but one problem. It's not big enough for all of us." Morro pointed out. "Some of us have to fly with their wings to get out of here."
"Then it's a good thing snakes can't fly." Flash mentioned.
"Those without wings, get in!" Lloyd ordered as each of them quickly climbed into the jet.
"Time to fly!" Rainbow called as those with wings took flight, while Irona is in the jet, as Frost held onto the port wing as the jet took off, but it started spinning around as the flyers gave weird looks.
"No, no, no! Pull up, pull up!" Landrush called as the jet kept spinning around. "Pull up! Pull up!" The jet then took off as the flyers followed.
"You call this stabilizing, Frost?" Gaia questioned the Ice Ninja.
"I'm trying!" Frost called in defense.
"Try harder then!" Gaia exclaimed.
Meanwhile, the Slow Mo time bubble wore off as the Vermilion Warriors came to a halt while growling and hissing in frustration. They soon came to a halt as the ninja got away with the Slow Mo Time Blade. "Ah! What are we going to tell the Hooves of Time?" Raggmunk questioned.
"The moon was in our eyes?" Blunch suggested with a shrug.
"That's… not bad. Actually, yeah, let's go with that." Raggmunk said in agreement.
In the air, the Ninja are flying off with the Time Blade while those that could fly flew side to side with the jet. "We did! We caught the Time Blade! We finally caught a break!" Lloyd cheered.
"Nice work, Clockwise, for slowing down those snakes." Flash complimented.
"Hey, I'm just glad the blade reacted to me and my powers gave me proper control." Clockwise said while looking at the Time Blade. "These things really give the new Hooves of Time more control of their own powers for sure."
"Did you guys see Thunder take off on that bike?" Aqua asked with a smile. "He was like greased lightning." She joked as the others gave her strange looks with smiles. "What? He had grease on his face. And he's the Lightning Ninja?"
"Yeah, I don't even get it, Aqua." Pinkie said with a brow.
"That's weak." Rainbow commented.
"Yeah, not even funny." Spike said with a shrug.
"Aw, come on!" Aqua called out. "You would have laughed if Thunder had said it."
"No, we really wouldn't." Gaia told her.
Trail sighed dully from his sister's bad joke. "I, uh, I thought it was funny, Aqua." Bolt said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Cracker." Aqua said boredly.
"Okay, ponies. Back to the Airjitzu Temple!" Twilight called as they all flew off into the distant back to the temple.
Back at the Hooves of Time hideout, Machia was receiving a message from Raggmunk and Blunch. "Mm-hm, I see. Moon in your eyes, makes sense." She said with a frown while Krux and Acronix watched with exciting smiles. "Yes, I'll tell them. Goodbye." She said as she turned to the Hooves of Time. "They failed. As I suspected they would."
"What?!" Krux asked in rage. "We didn't get the Time Blade?!"
"Not yet." Machia said with a sinister chuckle as Acronix lifted his BorgWatch up to its temporal anomaly locator. They might not have the Time Blade, but the Hooves of Time have a way of finding it and retrieving it from the Ninja.
