Song Of Hope: I haven't really found many of these stories, at least not one that make any sense, so I decided to make one. This is one of those stories that don't really have any plot, so it'll have a lot of chapters.
A brunette with long hair that went a fourth of the way down her back, and had hazel eyes, was wearing goggles and had a torch (mini torch for soldering, not blowtorch for welding). She was working on a very complicated looking piece of machinery on a desk in her bedroom. She turned of the torch and lifted up her goggles, smiling.
"There, it's done!" She picked up the phone next to her and called someone. "Jane, I got it! I finished the ABMTD!"
"Ange, this isn't another one of your crazy experiments that only the freaking government should be doing?" Ange nodded.
"I've got the last piece. It's a transport made for biological creatures, called the ABMTD. With my calculations, it should work. I tested it on my cat earlier, and he transported a whole ten yards! I also transported myself, and I went the exact same distance. I'm just fine, as you can clearly tell, and I've transported myself several times."
"Again, I think the government should be doing this kind of stuff. You're only in high school! You can't be doing this kind of stuff! Remember when you made that aging machine?"
"Hey, it worked!"
"And now your little sister is as old as you are and there's no way to reverse the process!"
"My mom fixed that with the government. Although they took my invention, stupid Obama!" The blonde haired blue-eyed friend yelled in Ange's ear.
"THEY SHOULD!" Ange held the receiver away from her ear.
"Okay, okay, but I promise, nothing like that will happen. I checked my cat's anatomy, and he was exactly the same. The largest, and only, side effects are that you're a bit younger than you should be, depending on how far you travel, and that you're knocked out for a bit. I'm gonna call Lex and tell her about it. She said she wanted to be the first multi-human test subject for the multi transport."
"Wait! I don't want to be excluded in the scientific discovery of the century, and if Lex trusts you to use her as a human test subject, then I want to do it too. I trust Lex, and you too, but not in this field. But if Lex thinks it's a good idea, and since she's the sensible one of this group." Ange smiled.
"Great, because I left the transporter on your front door mat. I jut needed to finish the receiver. I'm making it big enough for three people. The one I made for my cat was only big enough for one person. But, with three wirings of the same circuit, specifically tuned to each transport, we will all be able to transport at once. Kay?"
"Got it. How does it work anyway?"
"Push the big shiny red button that says 'transport' that's on the little remote with the wire connecting to the transport."
"That is so simple and obvious. I feel stupid."
"You're not stupid. I not only come from a long line of geniuses, but I also practically have two brains. Remember? The doctor said I was going to have a twin, but the development of said twin stopped, giving my a rather large brain."
"I'm surprised your head is still normal sized."
"Whatever. I'm gonna call Lex and tell her the transport is ready. Use the transport in exactly five minutes. Bye."
"Bye." Ange hung up the phone and called up her black haired and brown-eyed friend.
"Lex, I finished the ABMTD! The transport is on your front mat."
"Great! I can't wait to try it. But don't explain how it works."
"But it's easy, it just-"
"I know, but I don't want to know exactly how my molecules are being ripped apart."
"But it's not your molecules. That's far too risky. It rips apart your cells."
"Right."
"It does a medical scan and makes a map of your anatomy, including your brain and how your brain is set up, then sends said map to the receiver, which matches the anatomy map with the cells its receiving by matching the DNA signature of the incoming cells and the DNA signature of the anatomy map."
"Right, so there's absolutely no chance that this will fail?"
"There's an infinite zeros before a one in a decimal number, so it might as well be a 0 and the chances of success 100%."
"Okay, let's do this."
"Wait," she looked at her watch to see how long she had been talking for, "three minutes and thirty seven seconds! I need to set it up somewhere. It'll be down in my living room. We'll all transport at the same time. Bye."
"Bye." Ange got up and put the receiver downstairs in her living room. Then, she went back upstairs, and stood on the transport she had made for herself, picking up the black handle with a big red button on it. She looked at her watch.
"3-2-1!" She pressed the button, and it did an anatomy scan of her before sending her through. She didn't notice her sister Beth come in behind her while it was doing the anatomy scan a touch the device while she was still on it, before it did an anatomy scan of her sister too, sending them both through. Ange had calculated for this, and that would've been fine, but Beth had been streaming the newest episode of Ninjago on her computer, and it interfered with the signal, sending them somewhere else entirely.
Ange woke up on the deck of a ship at see. She held her head.
"What on earth just happened?" Suddenly, four guys in pajamas wearing masks were right by her, one in red, black, and gold, with a sword at her throat, glaring at her with his golden brown eyes.
"How in Ninjago did you get on our ship in the middle of the endless ocean?! Tell me!" Ange was freaking out.
"Where in the name of sanity am I?! Where's my living room?!" Her friends/sister were all there, still unconscious. The guy in black, gray, and silver, looked confused, obvious in his earth brown eyes.
"You're in the Endless Ocean, since there's no land outside of Ninjago!"
"What are you talking about?! I'm not from Ninjago, whatever the hell that is. I don't know what's going on! First, I was in my own house, experimenting with my transport, and now I'm suddenly here! What's going on?! I want to go home!" The guy in blue, black, and silver, looked amazed, his electric blue eyes filled with excitement. He threw off his mask, showing his short yet messy brown hair, and pushed the red guy's sword away from her throat.
"You made a transport?" She nodded.
"It's called the ABMTD, or the Automatic Bio Mechanical Transport Device. It scans a person's anatomy and their DNA, and then send the DNA signature and the anatomy map to the receiver, then rips the person apart cell by cell, putting them back together by following the anatomy map." He looked amazed.
"That is totally awesome! You invented that?" She nodded.
"Yeah. It was simply figuring out how to take the cells apart and send them without damaging them that was the tricky part. But, if you use a huge amount of energy mixed with an electronic disruption, you can do just that. Then, using the exact opposite energy and electricity, you can equally put them back together." The guy in blue smiled the biggest smile she had ever seen on a person.
"That's incredible. My name is Jay." The guy in red rolled his eyes at Jay.
"You're really buying her story? Transport, how is that possible?"
"With the way she just explained it, it makes totally sense." The guy in white, black, and gold nodded, throwing off his mask, revealing his very neat platinum blonde hair. His icy blue, yet comforting, eyes were filled with understanding
"Jay is correct. The exact way this girl has explained it, it makes perfect sense. I am Zane." The guy in mainly black threw off his mask, showing his very messy black hair.
"Cole. Nice to meet ya." The guy in red begrudgingly put his sword away, and then threw off his mask, revealing his very strange red hair.
"Kai."
"I'm Ange. These are my friends, Jane and Lex, and one's my little sister, Beth. Well, she was my little sister, but one of my experiments turned her to be biologically the same age as me. I can't figure out how to reverse it yet though. It's easier speeding up time then turning the hands of time backwards. But, to get back on topic, can we find somewhere to put my friends and my sister until they wake up?" They nodded, but the guy in black looked confused.
"Why didn't they wake up when you did?"
"The affects of the transport knock you out for a bit. I wouldn't let my friends go on it unless I had tested the single transport on my own several times, so I've gotten used to it. I did it several times before building the multi transport. We were testing it. My sister didn't have her own transport, so I'm guessing she must have interfered somehow, but I don't know how I ended up here." Kai hoisted up Jane on his shoulder.
"While you're trying to figure that out, why don't you help us?"
"I'm not strong, I'm smart. Jane's the strong one, who just happens to be the one you just threw over your shoulder." He stared at her, and if looks could be sharp, he'd be stabbing her with a katana.
"Then shut up." Cole picked up Lex.
"Kai, shut your mouth. These girls obviously need some rest, and then we can explain everything." Zane picked up Beth and nodded.
"I agree. We are ninja, and it is our duty to think of others first, not of ourselves. If you would follow us, we will help your friends, and then you should come and see Sensei Wu. He will know what to do."
In The Real World
A woman with long brown hair and hazel eyes walked into her daughter's room.
"Sweetie, I told you to take out the trash." She looked at her daughter's messy room, but didn't see her daughter. "Sweetie?" She started looking around the house, and saw Beth's door open. "Beth, have you seen your sister?" Not hearing a reply, she went in, and saw that her daughters were both gone. "Where are they?" Then, she saw the episode of Ninjago Beth had been streaming. "I thought that when Ange aged her, she would've stopped watching such silly shows. She was about to turn off the computer, but then she noticed something. "Huh, those characters look like Ange, Beth, and Ange's friends, only as Legos."
"What are you talking about?! I'm not from Ninjago, whatever the hell that is. I don't know what's going on! First, I was in my own house, experimenting with my transport, and now I'm suddenly here! What's going on?! I want to go home!" The guy in blue, black, and silver, looked amazed, his electric blue eyes filled with excitement. He threw off his mask, showing his short yet messy brown hair, and pushed the red guy's sword away from her throat.
"You made a transport?" She nodded.
"It's called the ABMTD, or Automatic Bio Mechanical Transport Device. It scans a person's anatomy and their DNA, and then send the DNA signature and the anatomy map to the receiver, then rips the person apart cell by cell, putting them back together by following the anatomy map." He looked amazed.
"She sure talks like Ange."
"That is totally awesome! You invented that?" She nodded.
"Yeah. It was simply figuring out how to take the cells apart and send them without damaging them that was the tricky part. But, if you use a huge amount of energy mixed with an electronic disruption, you can do just that. Then, using the exact opposite energy and electricity, you can equally put them back together." The guy in blue smiled the biggest smile she had ever seen on a person.
"That's incredible. My name is Jay." The guy in red rolled his eyes at Jay.

"Kai."
"I'm Ange. These are my friends, Jane and Lex, and one's my little sister, Beth. Well, she was my little sister, but one of my experiments turned her to be biologically the same age as me. I can't figure out how to reverse it yet though. It's easier speeding up time then turning the hands of time backwards. But, to get back on topic, can we find somewhere to put my friends and my sister until they wake up?" The woman almost fainted.
"My baby girls are in a TV show!" Then, she fainted.
In The Lego World
Ange sat by her sister's bedside, waiting for her to wake up. Beth started stirring, and then her hazel eyes fluttered open.
"Where am I?"
"On a ship called the Bounty." Beth immediately sat up.
"Did you say Bounty?" Ange nodded.
"Yeah, at least, I think so. We're in some place called Ninjago." Beth smiled very widely.
"We're in Ninjago? Are you sure?!"
"Seeing as to a bunch of ninja kept saying that, I think it's safe to assume so."
"Did their names happen to be Jay, Kai, Zane, and Cole?"
"How'd you know that?" Beth jumped up from her bed.
"We're in Ninjago! This is so awesome!" Ange eyed her sister suspiciously.
"What do you know?"
"It's a TV show. I was streaming the new episode live on my computer."
"Live as in premiering live, or live as in they're animating it live?"
"Um, I kinda hacked into Cartoon Network's computers, not to mess with anything, just to watch them make the episode. It's much more fun than waiting." Ange whacked herself on the forehead.
"That's what messed with the signal. Because you were streaming it while it was still being created, it must've turned us either into cyber data, which I highly doubt since we don't look like Legos like in the show, or to broke a hole in reality and went to a universe where Ninjago is. Either way, you just messed up our whole lives! Not just your life and my life, but Lex's life and Jane's life too! Maybe if you hadn't done that, or hadn't been messing with the transport while I was still on it, then maybe the experiment would've gone right?! Do you have any idea what you've just done?! You're excited because you get to be in the same world as your favorite FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, but meanwhile, I'm stuck here! We might never see Mom, or our cousins, or our other friends, or anyone we actually know! I'll never see my boyfriend again!" Beth was crying at that point. Ange realized how harsh she had been. "Oh, Beth, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean-" Beth ran out of the room in tears. "BETH!"
"I sense trouble between you and your sister." She turned and saw an old man in the doorway.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Sensei Wu. I trained the ninja, and I am the owner of this ship. The ninja told me of your arrival. I can see you are distressed about something." She nodded.
"I'm not from here. I don't belong here at all, I belong-"
"To another world." Her eyes widened.
"How did you know?"
"While the ninja have started to believe that you indeed did transport here, none of them believe where you transported from. But you are not used to your new body, and you act in a way that shows you know nothing about the four ninja, who are quite well known here in Ninjago. I do not doubt that you don't belong here."
"I don't, but I have no way of getting home! My sister, my friends, and me are stuck here! My mom's gonna be so worried! And what about Lex's parents and Jane's parents?! This is a total disaster."
"Patients young one. You must not let your frustration consume you. Look at how it affected your sister." She sighed.
"I just needed someone to blame. She messed everything up, but she didn't know what she was doing. I may have physically aged her with one of my experiments, but she's mentally still around ten. I know that's my fault, but she should have common sense not to mess with my experiments, and not to hack into the computers of a TV show channel."
"One my have all the knowledge in the world, but without common sense, it is all useless." Ange nodded.
"She doesn't think before she acts. I guess I don't either sometimes, but what she did was reckless. I wanted her to know that, not make her cry. And now, she's who knows where on this ship!"
Who Knows Where
Beth was in a closet, crying into her knees.
"How could Ange say something so mean?" She heard a couple of knocks.
"Excuse me, but is there someone in the hallway closet?" She instantly recognized the voice. "Don't bother staying silent. I can hear you breathing heavily." A teenager dressed in gold, with a hint of green and black with messy hair and bright green eyes, opened the door. "Kai explained how you guys got here, though I think he still doesn't believe it himself. I'm Lloyd. Are you okay?" She shook her head.
"No, I'm not! My sister blames me for everything!" She buried her face in her knees again.
"Come on, why don't we get you something to drink, and you can explain what happened? I'm kinda lost." He held out his hand to her, which she graciously took. He helped her up, and they walked towards the kitchen. Lloyd got her a glass of water, which she thanked him for. "Now, what's the problem?"
"My sister was doing an experiment with transportation technology. I didn't know that's what she was doing, and at the time I was watching a TV show called Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu, live while the animators were still animating it. It's a show all about you guys, actually. I'm a bit of a computer genius, smarts run in the family. Apparently, when I touched the transporter, it messed with the signal, as well as the broadcast, and sent my sister, her friends, and me all here. Ange thinks its because we were either turned into cyber data, which she doubts since you guys in the show are these kids toys called Legos, and you're obviously human, or it opened a hole in space and time and sent us here. After that, I kinda got excited, because I love this place, but she got really mad at me, and started yelling at me about how it was all my fault, and how I messed up not just her life and mine, but Lex's and Jane's too. Then," Beth was on the verge of crying again, "she yelled about how we'll never see our family, or our other friends again. After that point, I ran out of the room. I couldn't stand listening to her blaming me anymore, but mostly, I couldn't shake off how she was totally right! This is all my fault!"
"No, it's not." She gave him a weird look.
"How is it not my fault?"
"How were you supposed to know what she was doing? How were you supposed to know what would happen? If you don't know, it's not your fault. You can't help what you don't know you don't know. If you knew the dangers of what you couldn't understand, you wouldn't have messed with it, right?" She nodded. "But since you didn't know about the unknown factors of your actions, then it's not your fault. You just need to help your sister figure out how to fix it." Beth smiled.
"Thanks Lloyd. I never knew you could be so wise." He smiled.
"Hey, living with my uncle has got to affect me somehow."
In The Real World
Their mom woke up again.
"What just happened?" She looked at the screen and saw her baby girl talking with Lloyd. "That's right! My babies are stuck in a TV show! I'm pretty sure I saw Jane and Lex too. I have to call their parents!" She ran to the phone and dialed Jane's house phone.
"Elise! Jane disappeared right in front of me!"
"I know! I found where she went. Beth and Ange are there too!"
"Where are they?"
"They're in a TV show!" There was a silence for a while.
"Elise, my daughter turned into thin air in front of my eyes, and you're making sick jokes?!"
"I'm not! I was looking for Ange and Beth when I went into Beth's room. She had been watching something on her computer, when I saw these Lego versions of them, as well as Jane and Lex, but they were unconscious, short of Ange. I thought that they looked kinda like them, and how one of them talked like Ange, and she went into something about a transport, and how something messed with the signal. Then, she said her name was Ange, that two of the girl's names were Jane and Lex, and how one was her little sister Beth. She even said that Beth used to be younger than her, but because of one of her experiments, they turned the same age. It can't be a coincidence! It's our baby girls!"
"What are we gonna do?"
"I don't know! Parker isn't around anymore! If he were, he'd know what to do!"
"You're the parent your daughters get the brains from!"
"I know, but Parker was the one who was able to come up with the clever schemes! I just figured out how to make them work!"
"Well, we have to try. Do you think you can figure out how Ange's transport works?"
"Possibly. Remember, she has an abnormally large brain, so it might be too complicated."
"Well, try! I need my baby girl back!" She hung up. Elise then proceeded to do the process with Lex's mom. After getting practically the exact same responses from Darlene, she decided to go to Ange's room and look at her designs for her transport.
"The ABMTD, Automatic Bio Mechanical Transport Device. Does a scan of your anatomy and DNA and uses electrical charges and other energy sources to break you down into cells, bringing you across a space and using the anatomy and the DNA signature of the anatomy map and the incoming cells, uses the opposite charges of electricity and other energy sources to properly put the person back together. It seems simple enough, but how did it go so wrong?" She looked at the blueprints. "The design makes it practically foolproof to mess up the transfer, unless something interferes with the signal. Wait, a minute, that's it!" She ran back to Beth's room and saw a receiver device. "Beth amplified her computer signal to receive this video. The video must've messed with the transmission signal, and turned them into cyber data, or broke the time/space barrier. It follows string theory, and it makes sense! The signal coming from Beth's computer must've been stronger than the one sent by Ange's receiver, and because of that, it drew the signal of the ABMTD to here instead of the receiver." She was proud of her work, but then realized something. "If that's the case, then unless in there, they have our world as a TV show, there's no way to get my girls back! They're stuck in there!"
In The Lego World
Nya and Jay were at the computer.
"Working with what Ange gave me, I can probably come up with a similar design."
"Or I could give it to you myself." They turned to her.
"Ange. Nice to meet you. I'm Nya." Ange took Nya's outstretched hand.
"Same here. Down, if you can get me a pencil and some paper, I can draw up the design. Hopefully, if we can do that, we can build a new one, and then we can get ourselves back home."
