(A/N: Since I was in town, I thought I might put this up. Anxious about tomorrow when Episode 19 and 20 of Ninjago Season 11 airing in Malaysia with the question in my mind: Is Zane the prisoner, or the Ice Emperor?)

------

The elevator ride was slow as Cliff gripped the blood covered Sword of Sanctuary, secretly vowing to himself that he would drive the blade into Acronix Tempus, the Elemental Master of Time, traitor to the first group of Elemental Masters, and Joan's killer. "I promise you, Joan." He said to himself as the elevator stopped at its destination floor. "He will pay." The doors soon open and Cliff coldly walked out of the elevator as it closed to head back down to the vault for the other Ninja.

------

Outside, Acronix walked down the stairs of Borg Industries just as police cars arrive, and stop at the bottom of the stairway before the officers get out and aim their guns at him as Cole puts a bullhorn to his mouth. "Acronix Tempus!" He said with his voice being loud via the bullhorn as a crowd of people started appearing behind them, and some officers try to stop them from coming any closer. "We have the building surrounded! You are under arrest!"

Acronix then laughed at Cole's demand. "I have been waiting 20 years for this moment." He replied, holding up the Teapot of Tyrahn, shocking all the officers.

"ACRONIX!" An angered voice called out as Acronix turned to see the still blood covered Cliff came out, holding the Sword of Sanctuary.

"Ah, so it really was you all along, Clifton Walker, son of Nya Smith." Cole and the officers were all shocked to see the true face of Samurai I, meaning that Cole was right. "Come to avenge your dead sister?"

"SHUT UP!" He prepared to strike him, but Acronix immediately disappears. Not wanting to be surprised, Cliff looked at the bloody blade to see that the Master of Time would appear behind him. As predicted, Acronix appeared behind him, but Cliff had spun, raising a leg, and kicks him at his jaw, knocking him down and making him roll down the stairs.

But as he rolled down the stairs, Acronix raised his right arm, immediately disappearing, and reappeared behind the officers, who turn to him, aiming their guns. "Come get me, samurai." He mockingly holds his hand out to show the teapot.

"He's got the Teapot of Tyrahn!" Cole yelled. "Shoot it!"

Before the officers could fire, Acronix held out his hand, firing a Stop beam, freezing all the officers in place before taking off and Cliff runs down the stairs just as CJ, Don, Max and Gabby came out to see him pass by Cole as he and the officers were now free of the effects. "He's mine." He told him, coldly.

"Cliff, come back!" Don yelled as he and the others run after him.

------

Cliff was running down an alleyway, chasing after the man whom had killed his sister while holding the very weapon that killed her as he held his hand on his communicator. "Minnie, your father's got the teapot." He said. "I need you to find an alternate route for me."

"Based on your current location, there are no alternate routes." Minnie replied through the communicator. "Are you sure you should be chasing after him?"

"He killed Joan! Tell me where to corner him!"

Cliff could hear his girlfriend gasping at hearing what her father had done. "He's headed for the canal, you can cut him off from the other side."

"Thank you."

"And, Cliff, I'm sorry about your sister."

"I know."

------

At the canal, Acronix runs along the right path just as Cliff showed up and started running on the other side as Acronix sees the young samurai chasing after him. "Damn him." He said to himself just as CJ soon appeared in front of him, causing him to turn left, running across the bridge, and into a street where Don and Max show up, making him turn, but sees Gabby walking over to him, but holds up his right arm, disappearing and reappearing behind her before taking off as CJ and Cliff join the others in chasing him. As he kept running, Acronix hears the sound of a mech before looking up to see Samurai I's mech. "Samurai I's mech?" He looked back to see Cliff was still chasing him and looked back at the mech as it soon landed in front of him.

The cover then opened up, revealing to be Minnie, who was controlling the mech. "Hello, daddy." She said with a serious tone before holding out her hand, firing a blue beam at her father, causing him to become entrapped in a blue bubble.

"Minerva!" Acronix spoke in slow motion."Minnie!" Cliff was heard as he and the Ninja were shocked to see she has the Slow mode of Power of Time.

"You're a Master of Time, too?" Max asked.

"Yes, but I refuse to comply with my father's intentions." Minnie replied.

"You certainly have been a naughty girl, Minus." Acronix said to his daughter the moment he was freed of the time bubble.

"I am no longer considered your daughter. My name is Minerva Cassandra Xentimu, Master of Slow-Motion, and girlfriend of Cliff Walker!"

Cliff blushes when he heard what she said. She was his girlfriend. Guess the kiss before he took off meant it was serious. "You're surrounded, Acronix." Gabby said as a crowd started to form with most of them surprised at the identity of Samurai I.

"It is Cliff." A teenaged girl whispered to her friend.

"Cliff Walker is Samurai I?" Damon asked.

"I was right." A young man said.

Acronix then smirked as he looked at the crowd. "Finally." He said, getting out the teapot, shocking the crowd. "Now, Ninjago City, watch and see as I bring the most feared pirate from the pirate era!" He soon looked down at the symbol on the teapot that was out of alignment. "Arise, Nadakhan." He turns the middle part to align the symbol on the teapot. "And grant me my three wishes." He raises it high as orange smoke started coming out of it.

The Ninja, Cliff and the crowd see the smoke forming into none other than Nadakhan the Djinn, who laughs. "Freedom!" He said as he held his arms out, causing most of the crowd to scream and run away.

"Nadakhan, I, Acronix Tempus, Master of Time, have freed you from your prison, and I want my three wishes."

"What do you wish, Master of Time?"

"For my first wish, I wish to send all Elemental Masters into the teapot." Gold specks soon appear around him. "Both current and former."

"Your wish...is yours...to keep."

Gold specks soon surround the Ninja, who were all confused, as Cliff saw it all. "What's going on?" He asked.

"Nadakhan has made his first wish." Gabby replied. "There is nothing to reverse it."

------

At the Walker's mansion, Jay and Nya were glowing as they look at themselves. "Nadakhan." Jay said. "Someone has wished us away!" Nya immediately embraced her husband, knowing what their fate will be.

------

At the monastery, Irina looked on in shock as Lloyd was glowing. "Lloyd!" She yelled.

At Borg Tower, Zane was also glowing. "Oh no." He said to himself.

------

Around the corner, the officers were shocked to see Cole glow.

------

At Master Chen's, Lara did nothing, but scream as she saw her parents glowing. All Elemental Masters, former and current, soon glow very brightly, and turn into specks before floating away.

------

By the canal, the Ninja and Minnie glow as Cliff looked, in surprise, even the remaining crowd. The Ninja and Minnie then become small specks before they, along with many other Elemental Masters, former and current, soon heading into the teapot. "Max!" Cliff yelled. "Don! CJ!" He then looked down. "Minnie."

The specks were all soon in the teapot as Acronix noticed Cliff as he knelt down. "Why isn't he in the teapot?" He asked.

"Because, he has not unlocked his True Potential." Nadakhan simply replied. "Do you want to wish him away too?"

"Actually, I want to make him suffer before I make my second wish." He soon held up his right arm, immediately disappearing and reappearing behind Cliff.

"Cliff, look out!" Damon yelled.

Cliff immediately raised his head, on anger before moving the Sword of Sanctuary backwards, ramming the end of the hilt into the Master of Time's weak point, causing him to scream as the young samurai, who now had nothing left, spun around, kicking Acronix down onto his back, and gets up. "For Minnie!" He yelled, raising the sword high, but Acronix raised his right hand, disappearing as a result. Cliff then looked at the blade and turned to raise his leg, kicking the reappearing Acronix back. "Don!" He tries to strike him, but Acronix moves to the side. "CJ!" Acronix tries to punch Cliff, but he catches the fist. "Gabby!" He raises his right leg, kicking him to the ground, but he rolls to get back up. "Max!" Acronix holds his left hand out, firing a Stop beam, but Cliff rolls onto the ground. "Mom!" He raises a leg high, kicking him in the face and forced him back. "Dad!" He moves his hands to each side of his head, bends his knees, and uses everything he had to bounce off the ground, kicking Acronix again while landing on his feet. "AND JOAN!"

When Acronix felt something on his face, he puts a hand on it, and moves it back, revealing to be blood. "I'm gonna make sure you join them." He turns to Nadakhan. "My second wish is--"

But before he could finish, a Spinjitzu tornado strikes him, knocking him down before coming back to him, dispersing his tornado, and stands over him over his knees. Cliff raised his right hand back before moving it down to hit Acronix in the left side of his jaw, then his left hand onto his right eye, his right to his chin, his left to his forehead, his right to his left eye, and kept it up, hitting the man who took away everyone he cared about. He soon punched his head to the right, causing him to notice the teapot, and smirked before Cliff struck him again while grabbing the teapot. Before he could punch him again, Acronix strikes Cliff in the face, knocking him off of him, while at the same time, teapot hits the round, and immediately shattered. "NNNNOOOOO!"

Acronix rolls away and slowly got up as Cliff looked at the shattered teapot. The inside now had nothing but ash. He grabs a handful to look at it before the wind blows it away. Acronix smirked at the grieving samurai before turning to Nadakhan. "I've changed my mind about the wish I want. I wish for my injuries to be healed." Gold specks soon appear around him."Your wish, is yours to keep." Nadakhan said as Acronix soon glowed before it fades, showing him without any injuries inflicted during the fight. "What is your final wish, Master of Time?"Acronix the smiles at his big moment. Licking his lips briefly, he opens them to say the words. "I wish--"

"I WISH FOR YOU TO DISOBEY ACRONIX!" A loud voice yelled out as Nadakhan turned to see Cliff standing up, tightly gripping the Sword of Sanctuary.

"What did you say, samurai?" Nadakhan asked. Apparently, he couldn't hear him despite being within earshot.

Cliff grabbed hold of the bangs that were covering his left eye, moved the Sword of Sanctuary by it, and raised it up. The blade cut through it, ripping the hair off to reveal his left eye and the scar, and held his hand out, letting the hair blow away before putting the sword on his shoulder just as gold specks appear around him. "I. Wish. For. You. To. Disobey. Acronix." He repeated, one word at a time.

"Like that will happen." Acronix sarcastically said. "Nadakhan, I wish to resurrect my brother, Krux Tempus."

"Your wish..." Nadakhan prepared to reply. "...is denied."

"What? I said, I wish for Krux to return!"

"That wish has been denied, and you've already used your final wish, so you cannot make anymore wishes."

Acronix growled and turned to the poising Cliff as he held the Sword of Sanctuary out to him. "This is all your fault!" Acronix charges at Cliff, but immediately disappeared. Cliff looked at the blade to see he would attack from behind, and moved the sword back, jabbing him just as he reappeared, hitting him in the chest. Pretty soon, he turns around, doing Spinjitzu, and knocked him back. Acronix quickly got up just as he noticed he was close to the canal. Cliff immediately charged at him while still in the Spinjitzu tornado, but Acronix quickly held his right hand out, disappearing just as Cliff stopped his Spinjitzu tornado. Immediately looking at the blade, he turned around to strike him, but Acronix ducked down to avoid the blade, and held out his left hand, firing a Stop beam at him, instantly freezing him. All Cliff could do was watch as Acronix faces him, smirking before he soon kicking him backwards, sending him flying back, into the canal that let off a giant splash. He soon chuckled as his last adversary was eliminated, and walked away, heading over to the crowd, who start running away from the victor. "Now to find someone worthy to make the wish for me."
