Ninjago: the Daughter of the Overlord

Chapter 33: Back in Time

"man I've missed a lot" Aria looks over the city that's half destroyed

"Princess Aria" Kaname and Hanabusa appear at her side

"What is it?" Aria turns to them

The two guards kneel

"We have found their whereabouts" Hanabusa reports

"huh, so you guys are useful after all" Aria says

"The Boiling Sea" Kaname tells her "that's where they're headed"

"Then I have no time to waste" Aria sighs "we need those blades" she puts her hands on her hips "head back to the castle and handle the situation there, tell my father, I'm getting those time blades"

Aria transforms into her dragon form and roars before flying off towards the ninja. When she arrives she sees a temporal vortex close to closing.

'they went back in time, shit, well guess i'm heading there too'

Without any other thought Aria heads through the vortex. In the past at the Monastery of Spinjitzu, young Wu and Garmadon send the four Time Blades into the time vortex, with young Acronix and Krux following the blades as the rift closes

Past Garmadon looks surprised "Did Krux and Acronix just..."

"It appears they chose being lost to time over facing their punishment. The outcome is not as we intended. But Ninjago is now safe" past Wu says

Another time vortex forms and the Iron Doom lands directly in front of the gate of the monastery. Aria turns back into her human form inside the vortex before coming out and landing beside the Monastery. The door to the Iron Doom opens and the future Krux and Acronix step out.

"They look confident. Overly so" Acronix says

"Heya, Ice, am I seeing things or are those the guys we just beat?" the Past Master of Lightning, Jay's mother, questions

"Indeed they are, Lightning" the Past Master of Ice replies

"Why, yes, we are. You have already stopped us once today. But that was before we had a legion spawned from the Great Devourer" Krux laughs 

Jay's mother whines "Aw, I thought I was gonna finally go on my honeymoon. Really cute guy, too. Cliff is an actor and when I look into his eyes—"

"Stop! Focus, everyone" Past Wu interrupts

Aria turns and sees a blonde women beside her "ah!"

"ah!" the blonde women shouts in surprise as well

The two quickly cover each others mouths. The women takes Aria's hand off her mouth.

"Aria what are you doing here?!" the women shouts "I told you to stay with your father"

"...you.. know my name" Aria looks at her surprised "wait you know who I am"

"Of course, how could I not know my own daughter?" the women questions "oh wait... oh no.. you're older, a lot older.. damn it you're a reincarnation aren't you.. that would explain why you're confused right now"

"A rein-what!" Aria shouts

"Shh" Layla covers her mouth "forget that for now, I think they need our help, come on"

Layla starts to run out

Aria grabs her arm "wait a minute mom.. while I am so confused right now.. I can't go out there I don't exist yet, I'll mess up time"

"No no it's fine" Layla tells her "you do exist in this time, just your past self, I know you don't understand but when you get back to your time you'll have to ask your father, if he's still alive"
