The portal crackled brighter and arcs of electricity came down from the walls and ceiling flashing their way into the gateway.

"What do you mean end of our worlds? What did you do!" He yelled.

"This is a gateway into your world and as of right now it is allowing the SRJ virus to crossover into it."

Cole looked up to the spiralling exit and then turned to look at his team. Lloyd was tired, Seven looked worried, and Scott was just staring at the portal.

A loud crack shook the room as another huge bolt blasted its way through making him flinch. All of them were battered and bruised and Ninjago wouldn't be prepared for the virus once it got out.

Cole sighed and took a deep breath.

"We gotta go."

Lloyd nodded walking around to one side of Unagami and helped pick him up with Cole lifting his other side as they lurched towards the portal using cubed players as a stairway. They stopped just before the portal, you could feel the energy pulsing off of it.

"Well... See you guys soon." Seven smiled before jumping through. Lloyd smiled and Cole turned to his other side.

"Scott?"

The blue man was staring at the swirling vortex.

"I- I'm finally going home... I'm finally leaving prime empire." He said, stupefied.

"Yeah, you are bud, but first you've gotta go through the portal."

"What if it's all changed? What if everything is different?" He said in a daze.

"Then you've got us to help you figure things out. But for now-" Cole rested a hand on his shoulder.

Scott gazed at him before turning back towards the portal "right." and with that he took a step forward and disappeared.

Cole turned to look at the AI he was helping support. "Well Unagami, you might finally get to talk to Dyer,"

"Hope it was worth destroying the world." He spat and Unagami just hung his head as they stepped through.

. . .

White and red blinded them as the walked through the portal and when it faded they were met with the stunned expressions of Wu, Pixal, Zane, and some raggedy old man.

Wu was tied up, Zane was chained to a weird looking machine but looked otherwise unharmed, Pixal was trying to help him, and the old guy was crouched looking like he had been on his way to their master.

"Lloyd? Cole?" What is going on?" Wu creaked from the floor.

"And who are they?" Pixal asked pointing to Seven and Scott.

First master- Scott.
He almost didn't recognize him. He still wore the same clothes, but his skin had changed to a color that was actually human and his hair had changed from dark blue to a deep black with eyes that were more like milk chocolate than yellow and orange.

"I'm back?" He whispered.

"I'M BACK!" Scott cried jumping up and down. "DOES ANYBODY HAVE A MIRROR! AHHHHH GUYS! LOOK AT MY HANDS!" he shouted excitedly holding them out for closer inspection.

"THEY AREN'T BLUE ANYMORE! I'M BACK!" He cried laughing and running around this- Warehouse? In circles. "I'm baaack I'm baaack, didn't think I'd get out but I'm baaack~" Scott sang to himself doing a dorky little happy dance that Cole couldn't help but smile at.

"So," Seven stepped up "this is the real world."

Lloyd nodded.

"Huh. Y'know, gotta say, it's a lot less colorful than Tera Technica." She stated looking around the dingy room.
