Dimension Holders: Adventures

Chapter 3: Teneris

My truck flew through a portal back to Ninjago and into Sensei Garmadon's monastery. Several of Garmadon's students watched as my truck skidded and crashed into one of the trees inside the monastery. Some of the students ran over to see if I was alright, and helped me out of my truck. "I need to speak with the Sensei immediately." I commanded to them. 

~~~~~~~~~~

The two Sensei sat drinking their tea together in their office. A student pulled open the door leading to their office and I rushed in. "Hunter? Did you stop her?" Sensei Wu asked me. 

I shook my head.

Sensei Garmadon's eyes widened and he dropped his tea cup. The tea cup fell to the floor on it's side and tea spilled out of it. "What happened!?" Garmadon stood up, grabbed me by the shoulders, and shook me. I looked panicked, I had never seen Sensei Garmadon this panicked before. "You need to stop her! You are the only one that can do it!" the former lord of evil was still in awe at me not being able to stop her. 

Wu put his hand on his shoulder. "Brother. It's time we tell him Teneris' full story." Wu instructed. Garmadon nodded. Sensei Wu took a step forward. "You already know the simplified form of Teneris' story, but let us tell you it in full detail." I sat down and one of Sensei Garmadon's students brought me a cup of tea. "It was a very long time ago. The First Spinjitzu Master and Creator were in the most gruesome part of their war with the Overlord and Destroyer. The Overlord had just recently created an army that he believed would win the war; The Stone Army."

Garmadon cut in. "While on a mission, the Destroyer and Creator had critically wounded each other. The Destroyer escaped but the Creator was unconscious and taken to a nearby village where he was nursed back to health. He was healed by a woman named Teneris. The Creator saw her as the most beautiful woman ever and they fell in love. They soon got married and had three kids, the oldest being your father. Sixteen years after the birth of their first child, Teneris had believed that she had located the Overlord's base. She had planned to search the base with the help of the Creator."

"The Creator needed to prepare, but Teneris believed that they were already ready." Wu added. "The Creator had warned Teneris not to leave until he thought the time was right and the First Spinjitzu Master was notified. Teneris refused to believe that the time to find the weakness of the Overlord and his indestructible Stone Army was now. She had left to go spy on the Overlord's base. Once she had reached the base, she saw the Stone Army preparing something, a weapon which we knew as Garmatron. Teneris planned on leaving but found something of interest." 

"Dark matter." Garmadon grinded his teeth saying those words. "She had figured out that the pool of dark matter that she found was what created the Stone Army and that if she could study it, then she could find a weakness in it. Teneris thinking that she was safe to grab a small amount got closer, but she let her guard down. The Stone Army had known she was there and had been watching her. As she was scooping up dark matter, General Kozu moved quietly towards her. As soon as he got the chance, he kicked Teneris into the pool of dark matter. The Creator had found out and rushed to the Overlord's base where he destroyed it, causing the Overlord to move more West. Once the Creator had found where he had found his wife dead. Her arm sticking out of the pool of dark matter as a cry for help. He knew that if he even touched her, the dark matter would move to his body and corrupt him so he had to leave her body there." The two Sensei paused for a moment. "Your father took this the roughest. We were as old as your father at that time and helped him go through this rough period."

"The village where the Creator lived grieved over her death, but back at the pool of dark matter, something had happened to Teneris. It was as if the dark matter had resurrected her and corrupted her. Teneris no longer looked human and looked like what you saw today Hunter. Teneris is your grandmother." Sensei Wu admitted.
