T03:C30 - S03:E30 - In Charge

Things seem dire: Clay has turned to stone, Jestro has taken the Forbidden Power the Knights were safe-keeping, and the Knights seem leaderless. At the start of the episode, we see Jestro plug the FP of Blazing Burn into the standing stones atop Mount Thunderstrox. Something happens: The Cloud of Monstrox laughs with triumph and grows dramatically in size. It uses this lightning to chisel into Mt. Thunderstrox to reveal a face: the giant stone face of the COLOSSUS. The Cloud explains that it is their ultimate goal – get ebough Forbidden Powers locked in the Colossus’ crown, and then bring it to life. “The Stone Colossus,” says The Cloud. “He will soon come to life and we will use it to lay waste to this land.” But, right now, there are other things to do. The big, roiling black cloud leads Jestro off toward KNIGHTONIA! His real goal in this episode? Use his now his huge self and over powered lightning to overload and destroy Merlok 2.0’s core memory being stored in Merlok’s Tower at the castle. If they can do that, Merlok 2.0 will never remember how to defeat the Forbidden Powers. As the cloud advances towards the capitol, the Cloud rains lightning to bring many, many small statues to life to help in the fight. Alarm bells ring in the damaged Fortrex. As the Knights put the stone Clay in the command center (“You must act as if he is still with us…still normal,” Merlok instructs them. Lance LOVES this idea. “So, I can call him uptight knight all I want and hear nothing back?”) they realize they’re defeated, leaderless, and don’t know what to do. They see the Cloud advancing on the capitol. “We must do something!” Macy pleads. “We will,” says Aaron stepping forward. “It’s time for me to step up.” We reveal that it’s AARON that Clay was talking to the whole time about becoming the leader. Yes, says Merlok 2.0, he and Clay had been preparing Aaron to lead the group; Someone who thinks the sky is the limit, can thing on the fly and is daring and fearless. Aaron says they must defend the capitol and find a way to knock-out the big, black Cloud of Monstrox! Meanwhile, the Cloud hovers in over the city and knocks out the power. Then he brings EVERY STONE STATUE IN THE KING’S GARDEN to life! The King tries to fight them in his Mech. The Knights arrive and dive into battle, but Aaron is having challenges trying to lead them. (“I know what I’m doing,” says Aaron. “What am I doing?” he says to himself.)
