Dimension Breaker [ 3 ] | Lloyd Garmadon

Chapter Ten: The Breaking Point

Cole's POV

A year, give or take a few days. My amazing sister has been gone for a year. "Ninja, we have something to tell you." Sensei Garmadon informed us. I looked up, not bothering to hear anything except about my missing sister. We all came back safe and sound, thanks to Alyssa. But no one knew where to find Emma, we searched all seven dimensions, top to bottom.

"We have all fallen apart, without Emma." Wu informed us. I shook my head, "Stop! Okay? Just stop! I can't even hear her name!" I yelled, ready to leave the bridge. Everyone is broken. Lloyd doesn't smile, I don't either. Jay doesn't look at Alyssa or I without seeing her, no one is the same. "Wait!" Misako stopped me.

I turned around, "We might know where she is." she told me. "She's been missing for four-hundred and one days, what else can we do?" I questioned.

Yes, I've been keeping track. Because I want her home. "We think she is in this dimension called Kurayami." Nya said.

"What does it mean?" Kai asked, his arms folded across his chest. "It means darkness. She is in the dimension of darkness."

Emma's POV

I walked about the forest, the rain beating down on my skin. I've gotten used to it, the rain. I like the it feels and sounds. I try to stay away from the village as much as possible, I live about a mile from it.

My feet crunched on the dirt, the rain not making it wet at all, for as long as I've been here, I've noticed strange magic. But I don't mind it. My eyes have adjusted completely to the darkness, I see everything, just like I saw in light back in Ninjago. It's strange that way, but I grown used to this island.

They say the first thing you forget about someone is their voice, the way the sound. And it's true. I don't remember my family or friends voices, I know their names and what they look like, but I don't remember their sounds.

I sighed and pushed a tree branch out of the way so I could continue walking, 'I'll be here forever, the rest of my life. No matter how short it may be.' I told myself.

On this island, things have happened, things I never thought would. But they have. And I'll never leave, even if I did, I wouldn't be able to adjust to Ninjago again. I've been here four-hundred and one days, that long. On this island, there is no sun, no lamps, no light, and a person cannot survive long without light. Unless you were born into the island like the villagers. I eat berries, I drink the rain, I survive to the best of my ability, but my hope for returning home is long gone.

Back to Cole's POV

We used the Gem of Dimensions to reach this island of darkness, and it was a heck of a ride here. The portal opened and we all stepped inside, us five ninja. Alyssa and Nya stayed behind at the Bounty. "I can't see a thing!" Jay whined as our feet touched the ground, "It's the dimension of darkness, what do you expect?" Lloyd retorted, his patience has grown thin to find Emma.

"I kind of expected a little light at least." Kai added. I shrugged, "We can see a bit, the outlines of things. We should try to find life-forms now." I suggested. "Agreed." Zane said. My hair was sticking to my face with the rain beating down, growing agitated I walked forwards. "Hey guys." I interrupted, "Look, it's a cave." I pointed out.

I moved some palm leaves from a hidden entrance and walked inside, the ninja behind me. There was a faint torch lit in the back of the cave, indicating someone lived here, "Oh look!" Jay cheered, "There's light!"

"It seems someone has made this their home." Zane informed us, searching the place. "And I'm guessing it's a banished person, because of the light." Kai added, leaning on the dirt wall.
