Time Blades

The Time Blades are four weapons created by Ray and Maya and used by Wu and Garmadon to absorb all the abilites of Time (Pause, Forward, Reversal, and Slow-Mo) from their masters: Acronix and Krux, the Hands of Time. They would eventually be recovered by the two former Masters of Time, in the hope of reviving their lost power in a bid to conquer Ninjago.

List of Blades

 * Green - Forward Time Blade: Accelerates time, giving the target(s) the appearance of enhanced speed and allowing the user to accelerate their opponent's aging with a punch. Allows the user to disappear and reappear whenever and wherever they desire by sending themselves forward into Time. It was the second blade to emerge from the time vortex and the first to be recovered.
 * Red - Pause Time Blade: Freezes time around the target, leaving them immobilized and allows the user to move normally. It was the final blade to emerge from the time vortex and the third to be recovered.
 * Copper - Reversal Time Blade: Reverses time around the target, undoing their actions or getting them out of a dangerous situation and allowing the user to negate the effects of the Forward Time Blade and de-age the target. It was the first blade to emerge from the time vortex and the last to be recovered.
 * Blue - Slow-Mo Time Blade: Slows time around the target whilst allows the user to move normally. It was the third blade to emerge from the time vortex and the second to be recovered.

Hands of Time
After the Serpentine War, when the Elemental Masters of Time, Krux and Acronix, betrayed Wu, Garmadon, and the rest of the alliance to rule Ninjago, they wanted to stop them but failed miserably against their Elemental Time powers.

Ray and Maya forged four Time Blades out of Chronosteel and Wu and Garmadon used them to battle The Hands Of Time. When Wu and Garmadon gained the upper hand in battle, The Hands Of Time blasted their Elemental Power on The Sons of the First Spinjitzu Master which caused the Time Blades to strip The Time Twins of their Time powers, thus rendering The Hands Of Time to normal men. Afterwards, knowing that the power to control Time was too dangerous, Wu and Garmadon disposed the blades through Time. However, Acronix and Krux followed their stolen power and became lost in time along with their stripped power for 40 years.

At some point after the defeat of The Hands Of Time, Krux emerged from the Time Vortex and begun plotting revenge against Wu, and waiting for the return of his brother. The Reversal Time Blade emerged from the vortex at the same time as Krux but crashed into the woods near the monastery of spinjitzu and then was placed in the Boiling Sea.

The Hands of Time
During Acronix and Wu's battle at the remains of the monastery, the Forward Time Blade lands in the center courtyard at exactly six o'clock. As it landed, it created a shockwave that cause all of time to skip a full minute. Acronix was quick to grab the blade, using it to overpower Wu, ultimately striking Wu with a move he called the "Time Punch." This would cause Wu to start to age rapidly. Eventually, Wu preforms Spinjitzu and knocks the blade onto the roof the monastery. However, Acronix knocks Wu off the structure while reclaiming the blade, sending him to his near death as he managed to grab ahold of a branch.

Eventually, the Ninja arrive in the Destiny's Bounty 2.0, where they fight Acronix. Eventually, Lloyd, Kai, and Jay shoot their elemental powers at the blade in Acronix's hand, causing it to seemingly be destroyed as Acronix uses it to escape the area while the Ninja are knocked back.

The Hatching
During Wu's flashback, he reveals that the Time Blades were used by him and his brother 40 years ago to strip the power of The Time Twins, being forged from Chronosteel, a powerful material capable of absorbing and stealing elemental powers. At the Monastery of Spinjitzu, Wu and Garmadon use the four blades to absorb the power of The Hands Of Time when they blasted their Elemental Powers. Knowing that the ability to control Time was too powerful for anyone to wield, Wu and Garmadon use the blades to create a time vortex, where they discarded the blades. However, the Time Twins decided to go after the blades, ultimately being sucked into the vortex.

After Krux unleashes a few Vermillion soldiers at the unveiling of the BorgWatch, Zane manages to retrieve Cyrus Borg and flee. However, they are stopped by Krux in an alley, who was disguised as Dr. Saunders. While Borg states that he wasn't expecting to see him, Acronix uses the Forward Time Blade to strike Zane unconscious before the two escape with Borg.

LEGO.com Description
''The Time Blades were forged from Chrono-Steel, allowing each blade to absorb one of the evil twins’ four time powers – the Forward Blade (green), the Reversal Blade (copper), the Slow-Mo Blade (blue) and the Pause Blade (red). The blades are active when they glow and in that state, they can alter time, which gives their holder an enormous advantage in close combat. Each time a Time Blade is used, it takes a little time for it to recharge – but even uncharged, the Time Blades are dangerous, razor-sharp weapons. And when all four put together, the Time Blades hold the power to time travel!''
