T03:C23 - S03:E23 - Mount Thunderstrox

As Jestro and the Cloud of Monstrox head off on the Evil Mobile to “store” the Forbidden Power in a secret location, they encounter…THE SCULPTOR. His real name is ROBERTO ARNOLDI. He’s a sensitive and odd artist who has been laid off by the king (the King ordered a “smashing” statue of the Queen, and the Sculptor made a statue of the Queen literally smashing monsters. He takes everything very literally.) Jestro instructs him to make a “bad” statue that he can use to attack the knights. The Sculptor sets to work. Meanwhile, the NEXO KNIGHTS are discussing the COMBO NEXO Powers, the Forbidden Powers, and what all this means. Lance, meanwhile, decides that since his talk show career is on hold, he thinks he’ll install cameras in the Fortrex and do a Big Brother-like expose show on the Knights (he decides NOT to tell the others.) Merlok 2.0 and the Cloud of Monstrox (each talking to their cohorts) explain the history of the Forbidden Powers: it’s a history lesson about the WIZARDS’ COUNCIL, the Forbidden Powers, and how they were stopped long ago. This visual montage leads Jestro to…MOUNT THUNDERSTROX. The Cloud of Monstrox shows him the circle of ten Standing Stones where he will insert the Forbidden Powers. “What’ll happen after that?” asks Jestro, curious. “Oh, I don’t want to spoil the surprise,” says the Cloud. They insert the first Forbidden Power, Relentless Rust, and it locks into place on its stone. They go off to battle the Knights and collect the “bad” statue the sculptor is making. But he’s made a literally bad statue…it’s terrible ... garden gnomes. Like an amateur art student. And…it’s not even finished. (“You can’t rush bad genius!”) The Knights attack with their newly modified vehicles and they succeed in destroying the Evil Mobile. They then try to use a COMBO NEXO Power, but can’t…it had to be perfect to work (Ava and Merlok need to work on it.) As Jestro and the Cloud retreat, Merlok again talks to Clay about turning to stone! Merlok calls in Robin…he will need him to build something to help Clay as he becomes more and more impaired.
