Prologue

(Lord Garmadon's POV)

I stared heavily into my group. What foolish snakes would suggest a ham sandwich! Just because you're hungry shouldn't make you less evil.

"Well? NOTHING?" I yell at the crowd. The scouts of the Serpentine went into a little huddling position, as if they're scared of me.

Great, I got snakes that can do special powers that are at my command to huddle in front of me as if I'm a madman... which I really am.

"Well… since nobody has any ideas… I do. I have been doing my research… and I found-THIS!" I show a book with a title that I myself cannot understand.

"Although I cannot decipher the book's label, I have found out that with all the powers of the four Golden Weapons, which I have of course merged into the Mega-Weapon, it can open a portal to a new realm that no others have ever gone before."

"This new realm can open new possibilities to take over the world! Not just Ninjago and OUR world that I can rule, but the other realm's world! Ha-ha-ha… HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!" I laugh evilly. Well, I did that one good. I clear my voice from all that yelling.

"Now…. what are we waiting for!" I get into my position when I use the Mega-Weapon. You know- that position when you're about to do something cool.

"Mega-Weapon- I command you at my will to open a portal to this new realm- a new realm with new and more evil possibilities!" I yell to it as it starts to drain my power.

My power's drained, but there's the portal. If I were to describe it to you… it would be beautiful. Evilly beautiful.

There, right in front of my red eyes, was a black portal with no way seeing through it, with a golden brown frame.

My Serpent partners started to run into the portal. I went in last.

Time to wreak chaos.

12:06 A.M. Ninjagian Western Time, Southeast Ninjago City, Kailehian Apartments

(Cole's POV)

The alarm sounded off. We had installed one in our little shelter/apartment we owned.

We ran to the command center (well- not much of a command center, nothing like the one on the Bounty, but just a laptop and a big radar screen), just like we always do.

"Long story, short Sis?" Kai asked belligerently.

"It's not that the Serpentine and Garmadon are here in Ninjago. In fact, I can't even detect a single Serpentine on the radar. But I did find the evil Bounty. It's somewhere in the rivers two miles away from Ninjago City. It hasn't moved though. I have weird feeling about this." Nya affirmed to us comprehensively, then through a tone of anxiety.

"Let's get this on boys, I'll need to plan it on the way." I told the others in the let's-get-out-of-here voice that I always use on a mission.

We quickly climbed into the Ultra Sonic Raider, hastily making strategic decisions, with time pressing us on reaching our destination.

While Jay, Kai, and Zane are directing the Raider and making jokes (did I mention that Zane has had his funny switch on for an unusually long time?), I was plotting the entire raid.

First, we make sure Garmadon and the Mega-Weapon haven't screwed things up again, but if they have… we'll have to find out for ourselves.

Then, if they've been hiding from us and then surprise attack us, then we'll obviously try to hold them back.

If we can't hold them back, then we might as well run away as fast as we can.

We arrived at the destination that the Black Bounty had supposedly floated away to. Where was the Serpentine? And more importantly, Garmadon and the Mega-Weapon?

"We need to search around the ship. It could not have simply floated here, because my logic perimeter tells me that no ship could drift this much off course with a captain or some sort of ship leader." Zane remarked.

We burrowed throughout the entire ship. Nothing.

And then we found the room with the portal.

"Guys… you need to come and see this! I don't think that this belongs here…" Kai told the rest of us who were scouring the other rooms.

I walked in and the others came in behind me. It was some sort of black portal with no way of seeing through, with a shiny golden frame that looks like it's made out of light.

"Does anybody here know that this was Garmadon's work? I surely do." I tell the others in an obvious tone.

"Yes." The others replied in unison.

"Well, we need to find out what's behind that portal. I don't know about you guys, but I'm going in!" Kai told the rest of us before he dived in. I followed, with Jay on my tail, and Zane the caboose.

We found ourselves in the sky. We had nothing to do but Spinjitzu ourselves onto the ground.

"NINJA-GO!" We all shouted as we turned into our elemental tornadoes, providing us protection as we land safely on the ground.

"Where are we?" Jay asked in a severe tone of curiosity and confusion.

Zane replied, "In the other realm. We have found ourselves in a dimension with completely different people and worlds. We have found ourselves on a distant realm far away from Ninjago."

"Earth."
