Dimension Holders: Year of the Destroyer and Stone Army

Chapter 9: Trap

We were now on our way back to the IS Academy and being followed by Chifuyu, Ms. Yamada, Ichika and the girls. "Ninja be on your guard, be ready for anything and everything." Sensei Wu told us. "The Destroyer might be on his way to the academy as we speak."

"I knew we shouldn't have left it unguarded, but you thought we should have gone on that field trip." Garmadon complained.

"Nathan, fly ahead and tell us what you see." Lloyd told him.

"Im on it!" He pressed a button and his jet went ahead of us. The Destroyer was digging his way to the academy by a tunnel.

"Hurry up!" He yelled. "The Constrictai would have been done by now. Kozu!" Kozu came running over. "Are we almost there?"

"Yes sir. About 5 more minutes and we'll be right below the academy."

"Good. How's the army?"

"We are ready to charge at your command." He proudly spoke.

"That's good to hear General. You've made me proud."

Madoka came walking over. "It must be tough to know you'll be defeated, isn't it?" She smirked.

The Destroyer got angry at that remark. "I will not be defeated by that child! And if you want to rule by my side, I'd watch what you say." Madoka laughed a little and walked back to regroup with Squall and Autumn.

Back with Nathan, he had just contacted us at the academy, telling us the Destroyer and Phantom Task were not there. We were relieved to hear that. Lloyd and I pulled up at the academy and got out of our vehicles.

"This is weird. Either they took this place already, or they're just not here yet." I said.
Sensei Garmadon nodded. "Where could they be, is the question."

"I don't know, but we should get ready." I said. We ran into the IS Academy, where we were greeted by Tabane.

"Hello Ninja!" She said jumping around. This woman was way to energetic, how could she be so happy all the time? "I've got a surprise for you guys!" She pulled out three pairs of black gloves.

"What are these?" I asked as we took them.

"Your IS units!" She was freaking out. Houki told us this was normal. We took the gloves we wearing off, and put the new ones on. "You need to take very good care of these ones understood?" She said seriously. We nodded "Good! Now bye-bye!" She threw a smoke ball and disappeared.

"Ok come on! We have to prepare!" We got to the training room and prepared for battle by shining our swords as Nya was fixing up all of our vehicles outside. Ichika and the girls went back to their dorms quickly and Chifuyu and Maya followed.

Nathan was cleaning up his jet to the point where he could see his face. "What's gonna happen if this is the final battle for us?" He asked the Sensei.

"Don't say that." I replied. "Our team is never gonna down." I gave a smile. Nathan laughed a little. My brother and I have always gotten along, even after our mother's death and all of this stuff that's happened. After spending 15 years of my life with him, I knew how to bring a smile to his face.

The ground started to shake and an alarm erupted. We all stopped what we were doing, put our swords on our back and ran outside. When we got outside, there was nothing in front of us. "What's going on!?" Lloyd said in a panic.

"An earthquake?" Nya said as she ran up in her Samurai X gear. All of a sudden the ground beneath us collapsed and we feel down a deep hole. When we hit the ground, we all lost consciousness.

A couple hours later I woke up to see the others were already up. We were put in a cage underground and Stone Warriors were surrounding it. I reached for my sword and Lloyd stopped me. "Don't bother, they took our weapons." He went back sulking with Nathan and Nya, and the Sensei were trying to come up with a plan to escape.

"Why can't you use your golden power on it?" I asked Lloyd.

"This cage is made of a metal that makes it so I can't use my powers." I heard footsteps walking towards the cage and I got everyone's attention. The Stone Army moved to reveal Squall.

"Hello everyone. Sad to see your not dead." She said.

"What are you up to!?" Sensei Garmadon demanded.

Squall snickered, "Isn't it obvious? The Destroyer has found the third Crystal and is headed to go collect it and become all powerful. With us as the rulers of every dimension, there's no one that will be able to stop us!"

Nathan grabbed Squall between the bars and pulled her into the bars of the cage."You have no idea who we are sister. We are the Ninja and we will not let any of you win. Ninja.Never.Quit." He let her go and pushed her away.

We all looked at him. "Jeez where did that come from?" I asked in shock.

"Pent up aggression." He said sternly. Holy cow my brother is awesome.

Squall gave him a look. "Your lucky I don't kill you right here right now. If you excuse me, the Destroyer and I are going to collect the Final Crystal. Autumn! You're on guard duty!"

Autumn walked into the room as Squall left. "Be careful, that light blue one is insane." Autumn nodded and walked to the cage.

"You guys better shut up now and just sit there." She ordered.

"It's not like we can do anything else." I said to her. She gave me an annoyed look and turned away. A couple minutes went by, and I remembered something; The IS units in the gloves that Tabane gave us. I signaled Nathan and Lloyd to remember about the gloves. They nodded and told The Sensei and Nya.

"Hey Autumn I have a question." I told her. She told me to shut up instantly. "What does I.S. Stand for?" I smirked and noticed her expression changed quickly. She flashed around, and Nathan, Lloyd and I turned on our IS units and smashed through the cage.

She was thrown back into the wall and activated her IS unit. "Stone Army attack!" She yelled. The Stone Army jumped on our IS units and we started throwing them off. My IS unit grabbed our elemental weapons and I threw Nathan his, and Lloyd his.

Our weapons weren't like other IS unit weapons. The weapons were our swords and the IS unit made them get larger. Nathan sliced all the Stone Warriors in half in one blow, and Lloyd and I charged at Autumn. Her shield couldn't hold that well against our swords. We kept getting closer to her armor with every hit.

Finally her shield broke and Lloyd and I hit her IS making it shatter, and making her come flying out. She slammed into a wall and fell to the ground. We made our IS units disappear and we started high fiving each other. Autumn started crawling over to the alarm and no one noticed tell it was to late. She pressed the alarm and Lloyd used his golden power to knock her out.

"We need to get out of here now!" Sensei Wu said. We ran out of the room and took a left turn. I could hear the screams of the Stone Army chasing after us. We got to an intersection and were stopped on all sides by Stone Warriors and Samurai.

"What now!?" Nathan panicked.

"I've got a trick up my sleeve." Nya smirked. She pressed her bracket and everything started to shake. Her Samurai X Mech had came crashing through the ground and fell on a section of the Stone Army. "Climb up the hole!" Nya ordered.

We ran over to the hole and jumped up and started climbing. I saw Nya fighting back some of the Stone Army as she was jumping into her mech. When she got in. She started the Mech, flew up into the air and grabbed us. She let us go when we reached the top of the hole and we all landed on our feet.

"Aw sweet surface I missed you." Nathan said as he was kissing the ground. Nya landed and stomped on the ground to refill the hole.

"There. That should slow them down." She smiled.

Sensei Garmadon pulled Nathan up. "Hurry we must stop the Destroyer before he gets the third Crystal!"

"You'll have to go through me first." A female voice said. We turned around to see Madoka. "Your going to need all the luck you can get." She said.
