In the TC:

Ryan, Marcell, and Nya were trying to hack the control system and come up with a way to weaken the machine.

"There's so much concentrated energy in this core. It'll be dangerous to release it in it's raw form," Marcell said.

"We can send the energy into the pipes and lock it inside each one. I noticed that the material that makes up the pipes are energy sufficient and strong. They're made to hold large amounts of energy so that they wouldn't explode when too much power is inside of them. It'll keep the energy flowing in a circular motion from the center into the shell of the pipe and back," Ryan said.

"So we're using this machine's own strength against it," Nya said, and Ryan nodded.

"I guess your mother sending you to school really paid off, eh Ryan?" Marcell said with a smile, and Ryan shrugged his shoulders with a slight smirk and said,

"Yup."

"Let's do it," Nya said, and the three went to work on sending energy through the pipes and sealing them shut.

0 Pipes sealed: 100 percent Power

1st Pipe sealed: 90 percent

2nd Pipe sealed: 80 percent

3rd Pipe sealed: 70 percent

4th Pipe sealed: 60 percent

5th Pipe sealed: 55 percent

6th Pipe sealed: 50 percent

"That's all the pipes," Ryan said when they finished.

"There's no other way to drain the power?" Nya asked.

"If we tried attacking it, it would absorb our attacks and get stronger. If we broke the control panel, the pipes would open up and return the energy to the core. This is all we can do," Ryan replied.

Scrapping and growls were heard, as the three turned around to see the four lizarians slowly entering the room. The leader of the Purple-eyed lizarians looked at the machine and noticed that it's power was halved, and that it was about to fire in less than two minutes. Seeing that they wouldn't have enough time to fix the machine, she snarled,

"YARRGHH! YAARRUUU! YOAARH! YOAAH!"

The three arched an eyebrow, as the leader lizarian continued,

"YOOAA! -Cough- YYOOOUU… YOU... YOU. WILL. PAAAYY!"

Ryan, Marcell, and Nya looked at the lizarian in shock to hear her speak. She turned and quickly ran out, as the others followed her.

"What was that?" Marcell asked.

"No time to wonder about that now. We have to get out of here," Ryan said, and the girls agreed.

They all quickly maneuvered through the machine, and ran outside to get away from it. Ultra dragon spotted them and picked them up to bring them away from the machine with Dr. Julien and Pearl.

In front of the TC:

The tornadoes that each of the Ninja made merged into one colossal tornado of elements that spun as one unit. A flash filled the area, as the ones on the side-lines covered their eyes along with the dragons. After the flash, they uncovered their eyes and stood in awe of the tower that stood before the TC.

It was a tall platinum tower, with each floor on the tower holding one Ninja. The element of that Ninja pulsed within and outside of the floor that the Ninja was on. There were two levers on each floor near the windows that each Ninja held onto, and a concentration of each of their elements within each room. From top to bottom: Auria, Jay, Christa, Zane, Kai, Flare, Cole, and Lucy.

"What did we just create?!" Lucy asked.

"Our own weapon!" Cole said.

"It's like a tower! Made of Platinum! The Platinum Ninja Tower!" Jay said.

"Oh snap! Let's see what this baby can do!" Flare said.

"Charge it up! The turret is going to fire!" Auria shouted, and the Ninja saw that the TC was about to fire since the cannon was radiating energy.

100%

All of the Ninja pushed the levers forward, as each of them began to glow in their respective colors. The energy within each floor began to accumulate in front of the Platinum Ninja Tower. The energy formed into a huge orb of elemental power. When the TC shot a beam of dark energy, the Platinum Ninja Tower shot a beam of elemental energy as the beams collided.

Although the impact of the attacks pushed the Ninja back a little, they stood their ground as they added more of their power to the attack.

"Keep going guys! We have to hold it!" Kai shouted, as the Ninja kept their levers pressed forward.

The beams were pushing each other back and forth, and when it moved too close to the Ninja, the team added more power which pushed the opposing beam further away.

"Just a little longer!" Auria said, as the Ninja kept their counter-attack going.

"Come on guys," Marcell said, as she kept her hands clenched.

"Is it almost done?" Nya asked Ryan.

Ryan was able to see the remaining power level of the TC: 5 percent.

"Almost there," Ryan replied.

The Ninja continued pushing the dark beam back, and then they noticed that the beam's power was weakening, as they started using less energy into their attack. After a little while of weakening, there was no more energy shooting forth from the turret, and the Platinum Ninja Tower stopped firing.

"We did it… We STOPPED IT!" Jay said, with his arms up in the air, and the other Ninja joined in cheering.

Dr. Julien, Marcell, Nya, and Ryan flew over to the Ninja with the dragons.

"You guys did it!" Nya said.

"We All did it!" Christa said, and everyone agreed.

Ryan looked towards the TC, and he noticed a hole in the sandy ground near the base of it. The dragons landed near the tower, as Ryan was the first to jump off and approach Lucy.

"My dear! Your here," Lucy said with a sweet smile, as Ryan smiled back at her.

"Hey Lucy, was that hole always there?" Ryan asked, and Lucy looked towards the hole.

"Hm… I do not believe so. I wonder where it came-" Lucy stopped short when she realized something.

"What is it?" Ryan asked.

"The Overlord..." Lucy said, as she looked at the top of the TC and saw the dark dragon on it.

Everyone looked towards the top of the turret when they heard a laugh echoing from it.

"You. Pesky. Little. Ninja… You won't escape this next attack!" The Overlord said, and he dived into the turret.

Dark energy radiated from the top of the turret, as the power level began to increase. The eyes of the Overlord formed on the sides of the turret, as the cannon began to emit a large quantity of dark energy.

"Eighty percent," Ryan said, as Lucy heard him.

"GUYS! WE HAVE TO SHOOT AGAIN!" Lucy said, as she grabbed the levers.

"We need a stronger attack!" Flare shouted, sensing the power-level to be higher than before.

"But how much power do we need?!" Jay shouted.

"Let's use our Full Potentials!" Cole suggested.

"Could we do that?!" Christa asked.

"If we all keep in balance and use our forms simultaneously, I am ninety percent certain that we should be fine! But we only have a few minutes!" Zane said.

"Then let's make them count!" Kai said.

"On three then! One! Two! Three!" Auria said, and all of the Ninja used their Full Potentials at the same time.

"Come on Ryan!" Dr. Julien called, as Ryan jumped up on Ultra dragon, and they flew a few yards away.

"PERISH!" The Overlord roared, as he shot a stronger dark beam with the turret.

"YAAAAHHH!" The Ninja yelled in unison as they shot a stronger elemental beam.

The Overlord fused with the TC. Can the Ninja's Full Potentials last long enough?

You'll see soon…
