The sounds of footsteps echoed in the air as a young boy in a green jacket and white hair made his way through the labyrinth.

Lloyd could feel his legs and feet grow exhausted from the endless running. He hasn't stopped running since this afternoon. Sweat ran down his face like a warm waterfall, every part of his body was telling him to stop. But as much as he wanted to, he couldn't stop running now. His friend still needed him.

Lloyd ran as fast as he could across the bridges and walkways. He looked around to realize his surroundings didn't consist of a realistic building, but pure black and white patterns and shapes that seemed to defy the laws of reality. Almost as if he stepped in a surreal painting painted by a mad man. Lloyd wasn't at all phased by it and he continued to work his way through the maze to find a way outside.

His legs couldn't take it anymore and he collapsed on his knees and hands. Now the only sound that broke the deafening silence was his voice panting for air. Sweat dripped down to hit his hands and the black and white checkered floor below him. Lloyd could feel his eyes begin to water, tears began to form in his eyes. He quickly wiped them away, "now's not the time to do that," he thought to himself.

He raised his head up to scan his surroundings, and to his surprise, in front of him sat a tall staircase that lead to a green sign and a door. He sloppily picked himself back to his bruised legs and feet, and began to make his way up the staircase trying to focus on seeing his only friend one more time. When he finally reaches near to the top, he feels a sigh of relief to find a door with strange markings on it, and a green sign reading "EXIT" in bold words.

He made his way to face the strange door and rested his hand softly on the metal. There was no door handle to be seen. Did he have to push it? Would it even open? He put both hands on the door and pushed with as much strength he had left inside him. Gears from outside the wall clicked and the door opened.

Lloyd immediately ran through the door and without thinking twice, walked forward. His feet began to feel unstable and he quickly steps back, realizing that before him the rest of the roof had disappeared. As the door slammed behind him, Lloyd looked out at Ninjago City in horror. Everything was gray, skyscrapers and other buildings and debri flew around in the air like kites. Thunderstorms hid the sky in every direction, the ground and all the streets were flooded with water and destroyed cars and light posts. And in the middle of the sky looming above the city was a giant horrible monster covered in the shadows from the clouds, yet still somehow radiated light in the air, with a face that only nightmares could describe. And that from the looks of it, was the culprit for why Ninjago City was in ruins.

Lloyd stepped back in fright of the monster and didn't know what to do. There was nowhere to run. Over the land of destroyed property Lloyd noticed something catch his eye. In the distance, on top of another skyscraper was another boy with spiky brown hair, and wearing a thin white and purple costume. He raised something that from Lloyd's point of view he couldn't make out, but before he could understand the boy jumped high into the air at the monster, almost seemingly defying gravity in order to fight it.

The unholy creature moved a building in the air in front of the boys way and smashed straight into him and onto more buildings that were still attached to the ground. Lloyd stared wide eyed at the building before the boy appeared out of thin air away from the building unscratched and continued to fight the monster as it began to throw balls and flames of energy at him. The boy was able to dodge and block them with whatever he had in his hand, but his face read that he was losing his strength to fight.

"This… this can't be right!" Lloyd cried out. As he continued to look feeling horrible for the fighter, he felt another presence with him.

"It can't be helped I'm afraid. It's impossible for one person to defeat an enemy like this by themselves… but he knew that and showed up anyway." A small cat like creature in green and white, with a raspy voice and strange ears suddenly appeared next to Lloyd.

Lloyd looked back up to the boy to see him maneuvering his way through a field of attacks before getting hit full on by a wave of energy, causing him to fly back and crash into a vast tree that floated with all the other debris.

"No!" Lloyd cried out, "this has to stop or he's going to get killed!" Lloyd begged the small creature, desperately hoping it could do something.

The boy now bruises and cuts all over his body in a large dent of a floating tree, was able to raise his head up a little bit to look at Lloyd from the distance, and see Lloyd look back at him. The fighter opened his mouth and began to scream something at Lloyd, but he and Lloyd were way too far away for him to make out what he was shouting at him. Though it wasn't hard for Lloyd to get the hint that he needed help, and fast.

"If he dies, it's over." The strange creature spoke again. Lloyd looked away from the apocalyptic sight and back at the thing, wanting to listen to what it was saying. The creature looked up at Lloyd. "But you Lloyd, you have the power to change this and save him!" Lloyd's breathe froze as he stared at the creature in disbelief.

"Lloyd. Listen to me!" The creature continued to convince Lloyd. "All this tragedy and destruction, all of this pain and despair, you can change all of this if you wanted to! The potential to do so lies within you!"

Lloyd began to control his breathe again, as he began to understand what the thing was saying. "You're being serious? I can really fix all of this?" Lloyd questioned the thing. He stepped closer to the creature to hear what it had to say. Out in the distance, the fighter had gotten back up on his feet, only to be hit again by another energy blast destroying his ground and causing him to fall in the air, still screaming things Lloyd couldn't understand.

"Someone like me could actually change how this ends?" Lloyd questioned the creature again, looking back out at the monster in the air.

"Of course you can Lloyd! Just make a contract with me, and become a Ninja!"

Lloyd looked out at the fighters body plummet to the ground. He tightened his grip looking down at the floor of the building, he thought through the situation in his head. He loosened his fists and looked out at the monster… realizing what had to be done.

The sound of a blaring alarm clock suddenly shot the air and everything disappeared.

Lloyd opened his eyes to see nothing but his desk, the walls, and the familiar bed sheets of his bedroom. He moved his head over his pillows to see his alarm clock going off next to him. 7:45 the clock blinked at him. He reached his tired arm over and shut off the alarm, then raises his body out of his pillow to sit up in his bead.

He took a moment to sit and re-evaluate what just happened. As he thought he let out an exhausted sigh. "Ugh, talk about an insane dream."
