"Krux. Acronix," Lloyd nodded his head, "Do you admit to what you've done?"

On the steps of the Monastery of Spinjitzu, Acronix and Krux lay with their hands bound behind their back in front of the golden dragon sculpture in its center. Around them stood several important figures. Lloyd, Harumi, Mage, Lulloyd, Over and Monty all were directly in front of them. To their left were Garmadon, Coco, and the Tribal Leaders. To their right were Harumi's friends and Lloyd's team. Master Wu and Emperor Garmadon stood behind the Twins on either side of the statue. Perched both on the roofs and in the air were the Tribal Dragons, the Firstbourne handing her head over the gate to the monastery. Ophiod stood off to the side of the assembled group, looking over the two men with a neutral frown. Skales stood at his side.

"You think you're some sort of jury, boy?" Krux spat, "If you think this is any sort of due process, you've deluded yourself!"

"I assume that means they plead guilty," Monty nodded.

"Whatever will help you sleep at night," Acronix grinned at him, "If you even still can."

Monty frowned but remained silent. Acronix' and Krux' slowly stepped forward from the Tribal Leaders, each of them battered and weary from the battle just a few hours ago. Krux' slowly moved to stretch his limbs out, while Acroinx' looked down at them with pity.

"You have committed crimes on a scale that I have never seen, nor do I think I will ever again," Acronix' began, "You have murdered souls in numbers that exceed even the World. You forced hardship, terror and fear upon a populace and twisted them to your wills. You cheated, lied, and wormed your way now to what little power you hold. You fought us with the intent to kill, and you will stand your punishment. I would call you men, but that would betray that you're even more slimy than the snakes you commanded. Was that an accurate list of your crimes?"

"All necessary stepping stones!" Krux declared, "The Hands of Time bow to no law! If you think now we would suddenly decide that it is time to give into your demands, you are sorely, and woefully, mistaken!"

Krux' shook his head, "Brother. I think it's clear what these men chose."

"Indeed," Acronix' nodded, "Then I believe there is only one fitting punishment," Acronix' turned to the assembled group, "Do you recall the story of how Skylar's mother escaped the massacre that took place upon her people, everyone?"

"I remember they saying they put her in a status by combining all of the elements of the people who didn't want to fight," Lloyd nodded, "But I don't know the details."

Acronix' nodded. Mage raised his arm, making them all move back from it all. The Firstbourne lowered her head down from atop the gate. Her children all moved to take to the skies and fly in a circle around the Monastery. Each one moved to perfectly form a ring with their mother. As they flapped there, they began to pulse and glow with the color of their elements from deep within their bodies, deep under their scales. The sound of their beating wings was that of a calm storm, waiting to break upon the two they stared down at.

"There is only one punishment that is fitting of those that would see death as you do," Acronix' nodded, "Acronix. Krux. We sentence you to an eternity in status. You will forever see the world around you change, yet you will never be part of it again. You will be unable to perceive it, to spare you the horror of a mind that moves while the body cannot. Your powers will never again be yours, and never again will you threaten the lives of anyone across any world for all time."

The Twins raised their heads. The dragons in the air began to flap their wings harder. Their elements formed a massive ring around them, one that glowed like a beautiful, deadly rainbow of light and ancient power. The ring began to rotate until it moved around their mother, the Firstbourne, who slowly exhaled a deep breath from her nostrils.
