Dimension Holders: Year of the Destroyer and Stone Army

Chapter 4: The First Crystal

Laura and Charlotte stared at me in surprise. "Hi....." I said awkwardly. "Nice to see you two......I guess we're roommates." Ok Hunter, this is very awkward and I don't think you're helping the situation.

"Nice to meet you, again." Said Charlotte. Things are becoming a little less awkward now,which is a start.

"Have you guys already decided which beds you want?" I asked them.

"Yeah. You can have the middle bed." Charlotte said to me. I slowly shuffled to the bed and pulled back the covers. I checked the time and it was 9 pm. The Sensei wanted us to come to the schools dojo for training at 4 in the morning.

"We'll I am going to bed, I have early kendo training tomorrow."

"Ok.....Goodnight." They both said.

"Yeah. Goodnight." I said as I fell asleep. My dream was terrible, I could see the Stone Army walking to some abandon warehouse. General Kozu walked up to the hooded man who killed my father.

"My lord. We failed to kill them. I am sorry." Kozu said to the hooded man, afraid of the news that was yet to come.

"Is there any good news?" Th hooded man spoke softly. I couldn't see the hooded mans face still.

"Yes my lord. When we attacked, our scouts located one of the shards of the crystal."

The hooded man stood up."What!? Where!?" The man ordered eagerly.

"In the IS Academy sir. It's in there museum." The general began to stand.

"Prepare your Army and increase the amount of artillery! We attack tomorrow!" The hooded man laughed maniacally.

"Yes my lord." Kozu bowed as he began to leave. I woke up after that and was sweating and panicking . It was 3:45 when I woke up.

"I'm going to be late!" I panicked. I quickly got ready and ran down to the dojo. Were everyone was waiting for me.

"Where have you been?" Asked Nathan. "Everything ok?"

"I honestly don't know." I sighed. Sensei Wu hit me on the head with his staff. "Ow!" I yelled rubbing my head.

"Don't be late again. We only have three hours of training, and you just wasted ten minutes of them."

"I'm sorry Sensei. It won't happen again." We began training and we were doing exercises.

Lloyd looked at me and whispered, "What did you dream about anyway?" He asked.

"The stone army and that hooded guy who killed my dad." I clenched my fists angrily. Nathan turned his head.

"What!?" He panicked. Sensei Garmadon over heard us talking.

"What!? You could see them?! Where were they!? What did you see and hear!?" He questioned me.

"Why does it matter? It was just a dream." I told him.

Sensei Wu walked over. "That wasn't a regular dream Hunter. That was you seeing what was going on there."

"What? It was?" Lloyd asked.

"Yes. What did they say?" Asked Sensei Wu. I told them what happened and how there's a crystal shard is in the museum.

"By the grace of the First Spinjitzu Master!" Sensei Wu said. "Ninja, you must get that Crystal Shard before the Destroyer.

"Your telling me that hooded man is the Destroyer?" Nathan asked.

"Yes. He is the only one that can put the crystal together." Garmadon said to him. We began to start training to get the crystal sharf.

It was now 7:45. Fifteen minutes before class. "Go Ninja, you can not be late for class." We ran to class and just made it.

"You three got lucky." Said Chifuyu. "Now get to your seats." We walked to our seats and sat down. Ichika was surprised.

"Woah you guys look like crap." He said to us.

"Oh thanks, I appreciate your input." Nathan said to him. Ichika laughed at that. "I'll have you know, we woke up early to train."

"Sounds tiring." He said to us. "Piloting an IS makes you tired but not as tired as you guys are."

"Ok students! We are going on a little field trip for the first part of class!" cheered Ms. Yamada. A field trip? Didn't think they did that here. Doesn't seem like this school would do that stuff.

"Were are we going?" Asked a girl.

"To the IS museum! Were going to look at some artifacts and learn more about why the IS was created and how it is powered!" What are the freaking odds.

Me and the guys looked at each other in shock. "Now's are chance." Lloyd whispered to us. Our class got up and left and walked down to the Museum. The Crystal shard was small.

"The IS has created many power sources all based on this crystal. The crystal arrived years ago. No one knows how it got here, but we have been able to mirror almost everything this crystal has." Ms. Yamada told us.

As everyone walked on to the next exhibit. I stayed and Lloyd and Nathan kept watch. I slowly removed the cover And took the crystal. No alarm went off. Lloyd and Nathan looked at me. "Security sucks here." I said. Right then, the alarm went off.

"You jinxed it!" Nathan panicked. We then all panicked.

"Run!" I yelled. We ran out of the museum and two female guards spotted us and started chasing after us. We got outside and ran as fast as we could to the ocean. "Time to Destroy this thing for good." I told Nathan and Lloyd.

As I got my arm ready to throw the crystal shard, my arm was grabbed. I turned around to see who grabbed me and who I thought was a guard, was the hooded man. "I don't think so boy." Behind him was the Stone Army and a bunch of their vehicles. The Destroyer pushed me and I fell into the ocean.

"Hey!" Nathan said as he ran at the hooded man. The man grabbed him and threw him at Lloyd, knocking them into the water with me. When we reached the land. The hooded man and them were leaving the Academy and were pretty far.

"We have to stop them! Come on!" We ran after them into a mountain side. Up ahead of us, was a bridge. The Army crossed it and right as we were about to cross it they destroyed the bridge. The three of us stopped right on the edge and watched as the Stone Army and the man get away.

When we got back to the academy, let's just say Chifuyu wasn't happy. "What were you idiots thinking!?" She yelled at us.

"Oh we were just trying to SAVE THE WORLD!!" I yelled back.

"By stealing Artifacts!?" She said getting in my face.

"It wasn't stealing we were trying to destroy it." Said Nathan. Chifuyu stomped over to Nathan.

"Ms. Chifuyu, ma'am. Maybe they have a reason for doing it." Ms. Yamada said to Chifuyu.

"We got a reason alright. We were trying to stop that hooded guy and his stone army get it." Lloyd told them

"Why would they want it?" Ms. Yamada asked.

"To take over the world." I said to them. "There are two more crystal shards out there, and if that hooded guy gets them all, he will make something called the Destroyer the most powerful being alive, and nothing and no one will be able to stop him."

I don't think they believed us, But Chifuyu gave us a second chance. "I believe you." She said. I was surprised, she didn't seem like the person who would believe something like this. "So where are the other Crystals?"

"We don't know yet." Nathan said. "All we know is they are some where in this country. The Destroyer can become a third powerful with that crystal shard, but he can't regain his power without all the shards."

We must find these Crystals. I want payback for the death of almost all the members of my family. All I have left is Nathan. We will stop the Destroyer and we will defeat him for good. We are the Ninja, and Ninja Never Quit. So look out hooded man, were coming for you.
