Dimension Holders: Year of the Destroyer and Stone Army

Chapter 1: Enter the New Ninja

It was a normal day in the small town of Farmington. My brother, Nathan, and I were sitting on the front step. Each of us were silent and not wanting to speak. It was the 9th anniversary of our mother's death. It was always tough to think about her.

"Boys!" Called our father from inside. "Time to eat!". Nathan and I got up and walked into the kitchen. "We are having your mother's favorite food for dinner. Stir fry." We sat down, and our father put the food on our plates. Dinner was silent that night. Every Dinner was silent after she died, but tonight my dad thought it would be a good idea to start a conversation. "So how's school going?"

"Dad, it's the middle of Summer." Replied Nathan.

"Doesn't mean you don't have school work." He said sternly to Nathan.

"Can we not fight today? I really don't think that's a good idea." I said to both of them. My father nodded sadly. The rest of the dinner was completely silent. I didn't eat, I just moved my food around. When dinner was over, i went outside and sat down on the front porch. My eyes followed the small clouds that were moving with the wind.

"Why can't the world just end? My life has not been the same ever since you died mom. I miss you, Nathan misses you and Dad misses you." Whilst i was staring at the clouds, a large black swirl of them formed and soon the whole sky was black. My father came running outside to see what was going on.

"Oh no. Not now!" My dad grabbed my brother and I by the arms and pulled us to our basement.

"Dad! What is going on!?" Nathan questioned as our dad let go.

"As we speak our Dimension is being destroyed." He said to us as he walked over to a wall and pulled a hidden lever, revealing a weapons rack and a portal. My father grabbed a backpack and 3 golden dragon hilts from the wall. "Take these." he said throwing us the hilts and backpack.

"What are these and why is there three of them?" I asked him.

"Swords, and one of them is for someone else." he said running to the portal controls. My father began pressing buttons rapidly. "Step over to the portal boys. Our time is limited." We nodded, and Nathan and I moved quickly to the portal and stood infront of it. I turned around to see my dad activate the portal.

"When you go through the portal, you must find a man with a long white beard and the rice hat."

"What about you!?" I asked. "Your coming with us right!?"

"No i am not. This is-" My father was cut off by a man in a dark hood stabbing him with a cooking knife in the back.

"Where is the Crystal!?" The man yelled at my father.

"It's....long gone. You'll never.....find it!" My father said in pain.

The man looked at my brother and the backpack he was holding. "Long gone huh?" He snickered. The man let go of my dad, walked over and ripped the backpack out of my brother's hands. He opened it up and took out a Crystal. It must have been the one he was talking about.

"Yes! The Container Crystal from so long ago! I can finally regain my powers!"

I ran at the man and punched him as hard as i could knocking him past my dad. Didn't think I could ever do that. I grabbed the crystal and backpack off the man and headed towards my dad. "Go boys. Go!" yelled my dad. I pushed the crystal in my pocket and ran to the portal with Nathan. The two of us looked at each other and than jumped in

"No!" screamed the man.

As he was running towards the portal my dad took the knife out of his back and screamed in pain. He noticed the man running towards the portal and my dad quickly reacted and threw the knife at the machine and damaged it. The portal controls were destroyed, and caused the man to be sent to a different dimension. Nathan and I fell for about five minutes and then landed in a dimension with a Monastary.

"What happened?" I asked. We looked up to see two old men and someone our age starring at us in shock.

"Hi...." Said Nathan akwardly.

"Brother, this is part of that one prophecy. remember?" said the one with hair style like the kid next him.

"Yes it is. The new ninja might be among us now." Said the other old man with a long white beard and a rice hat on. Hold on a second.

"Prophecy?" asked the kid.

"Wait a minute." I said looking at one of the old men. "Your the man our father sent us to see!" The man looked at me bewildered 

"Your father? Did he ever speak of your grandfather?" asked the old man with the long white beard.

"Yeah. He said he fought in a great war with his best friend and that he died in battle." Nathan replied.

"Garmadon. These are Johnathan's sons."

"It is!" said the other old man who looked like an older version of the kid. I guess he is apaprently called Garmadon.

The kid walked over to us and helped us up.

"I'm Lloyd" he said. " The Golden Ninja. That's my uncle, Wu" he said pointing at the man with the long white beard. "and that's my father Garmadon." he moved his hand and pointed at the old man who looked like an older version of him.

"Nice to meet you all" I happily spoke. I was still very confused what was going on.

"Come have some tea." Wu invited. "We have much to talk about." We entered the monastery and tea was brought to us by an older woman.

"This is my wife, Misako" Garmadon said to us. She greeted us and we said hello back. Things then proceeded to get more serious than it was.

Wu explained that there was a prophecy about two men falling out of the sky and becoming the Ninjas of Wind and Water. He said that one of the two would become someone called the Creator and defeat someone called the Destroyer.

"I see you brought 3 swords and a backpack." said Garmadon. "Did you bring the Crystal? Your father was protecting it."

"Yeah it's right-Crap!? The crystal!" I panicked as I felt around my pocket to not find a crystal. How do I lose something like that!?

"Please tell me you had it in your backpack." Garmadon nervously spoke.

"I had it in my pocket" I replied.

"If the Crystal if exposed to the dimensional rift, is extremely vulnerable and would break up. it breaks up into 3 pieces, and are likely to be scatrered around in a different Dimension." Nathan and I paused and looked at each other. "The good news is, the crystal can be reformed if all the pieces are met together."

"Don't worry we will find the dimension they are in." Said Wu. "But right now we must train you two to become Ninja if that's what the prophecy demands. In time you will each unlock something called Spinjitzu."

"Hold on, this whole thing is stressing me out." I spoke. "Ok," I took a breath. "Let's start training."

We were brought to a training course and Wu started up the course. "BEGIN!" Garmadon ordered. Nathan and I both ran towards the training course.

Two months later we were all trained. "Brother" I said. "I think it's time we get the suits." We opened the back pack and took out the suits. "We must concentrate." he said.

We were both silent for a good minute. "NINJA GO!" We yelled and at that moment we both did Spinjitzu and put on our suits.

"We did it!" I cheered with joy.

"Yeah we did!" Nathan spoke proudly. Lloyd walked out with his sword on his back.

"Congrats you two." Lloyd said as he threw us our swords. "Now our team is complete. You guys and me. Time to hunt down those Crystals, but first." He walked over and we all activated our swords and hit the blades together.

"NINJA GO!" We yelled. This was the start of something great.
