Past Meets Future
Chapter One: Unexpected Travel and Meeting Family
"I said get out!" A voice shouted as ice was shot everywhere, making everyone duck for cover. "Get the fuck out of my lab!"
"You just had to piss him off didn't you Jay?!" Kai shouted angrily at the Lightning Ninja as he hid behind a huge block of wood that had bits and pieces of metal on it with his parents.
"All I did was tell him that we needed answers!" Jay shouted as he hid behind a couple of huge tube-like wires that were hanging from a strange machine.
"That doesn't mean that you should've kept pressuring him for answers when it was clear that he didn't want to answer!" Cole shouted from his spot behind a couple of weird looking machines with Misako and Wu.
"Hey! At least Zane is trying to help!" Lloyd shouted from under a table with tools on it with Nya.
He was right, Zane was trying to stop the person from attacking him but there was a problem: the person also has the Ice Element.
And to think, this all started with the fight against the Time Twins.
Everywhere was chaos, ninja fighting the Vermillion, Cyrus Borg being carried by Samurai X, Wu getting healed by Ray and Maya, and the Time Twins trying to protect the Iron Doom. (AN: I'd only seen clips of Out of the Fire and Into the Boiling Sea, so no comments on how this is nothing like the episode because I have not seen the full episode.)
"Where's the control panel?!" Samurai X asked, making sure they didn't drop Cyrus and flew out of reach of the Vermillion. "The control panel's over there!" Cyrus shouted over the noise as he pointed to the Iron Doom's chest.
Samurai X flew around, dodging Vermillion, before reaching the control panel. They tried to figure out a way to delay the Iron Doom by pressing buttons that they think they heard Cyrus tell them over the noise.
"There's nothing you can do now!" Krux shouted as he and Acronix boarded the Iron Doom just after Samurai X closed the control panel and flew away. The ninja watched in fear as the Iron Doom started up before making strange clicks and noises.
"What the-?!" Krux managed to say before the Iron Doom started shaking out of control and a bright light enveloped everything.
"AAAAAHHHH!" Everyone shouted as they flew out of a multi-colored hole and onto a gray tile floor.
"Ugh... Is everyone okay?" Kai asked as everyone untangled themselves before taking a look around the room. The floor was covered in gray tile, the walls were the same color, and strange things were covering almost two-thirds of the room.
"Where are we?" Lloyd asked as he rubbed his back.
"It looks like a lab of some sorts." Cole answered as he walked towards a weird looking machine.
"Let's hope that whoever's lab this is doesn't eat us!" Jay said, causing everyone to look at him in confusion.
~Once I was seven years old, my mama told me
Huh? Everyone thought before noticing a door where the voice was coming from.
~Go get yourself some friends or else you'll be lonely
"~Once I was seven years- huh?" The door opened to reveal a sixteen year old boy with black hair that reaches past his shoulders and brown eyes wearing a white shirt underneath a white lab coat, gray pants, and black shoes holding rolls of papers in his arms.
"Uh... Hi?" Jay asked, causing everyone to facepalm and the boy to snap out of his shock.
"Who the- what the- how the-" The boy muttered before shaking his head. "Someone tell me that this is a dream." He then looked at each person before setting the papers down on a huge block of wood and slapped himself. "Nope, not a dream."
He then turned around to face the others and was confused to see Jay making funny faces through the huge tube-like wires. "He's an idiot."
"You think?" Everyone, minus Jay, echoed as the Lightning Ninja took offense. "Hey! At least I don't leave my underpants around!"
"Yes you do!" The others shouted, making the boy laugh.
"Yeah, well... What kind of lab is this? It looks nothing like Dr. Julien's." Jay said, causing the boy to stop laughing and stare at him. "Y-yeah, nothing like his."
"Yeah, I mean... Look at this place! Random machines, junk on the table, blueprints, I mean what else could this place be?" Jay said as he pointed around the room. "Maybe we can figure out where we are with your help!"
"M-My help?!" The boy stuttered with a surprised look on his face.
"Yeah, there's gotta be a way to figure out what went wrong and how we got here," Jay said as he walked towards the boy. "So will you help us?"
"Uh... Uh..." The boy mumbled as his eyes darted around.
"Oh come on! We need your help to figure this out!"
"Ah... Uh..."
"Jay..." Cole whispered.
"There's gotta be something here that can help us!"
The boy hung his head and was breathing heavily as ice started spreading from his feet and cracking from his clenched fists.
"Please... No more..." The boy whispered too quietly for anyone to hear him.
"I'm just saying: if you help us then we can find more answers."
"Get. Out."
Then all hell broke loose.
(AN: For a refresher, reread the beginning.)
"GET THE FUCKING HELL OUT OF MY LAB!" The boy shouted as he tried to freeze Zane to the floor, who kept dodging and tried to freeze the boy to the floor who did the same thing.
Thud. Thud.
"Julien?" A voice sounded out from the closed door before it was opened and everyone stopped to look at the intruder.
The intruder was a sixteen year old girl with elbow-length fluffy white hair and blue eyes wearing a black shirt, gray pants, and black shoes who looked around the room in confusion before he gaze landed on the boy.
"Sera..." He gasped out as he heaved slightly from having to move around a lot.
"What's going on in here?" 'Sera' asked as she noticed the others and took in all the ice covering the room. "Panic attack?"
'Julien' just nodded before collapsing onto his knees, making 'Sera' look at him worriedly before she went over and rubbed his back.
"Is he okay?" Cole asked, and got a nod from 'Julien' in return as his breathing went back to normal.
"He has anxiety so he's prone to panic attacks from people pressuring him or being too crowded." 'Sera' answered, making everyone look at Jay who laughed nervously in return.
"Hold on, you said that his name is Julien right?" Kai asked as 'Sera' helped 'Julien' back to his feet. "Isn't that just close to calling him Dr. Julien?"
He then earned blank looks in return.
"And your point is?" 'Sera' asked.
"Dr. Julien was my creator, so what Kai means is that if your friend's-" "Brother, we're twins." "-if your brother's name is Julien then how can you tell him apart from Father?" Zane asked curiously, getting surprised looks from the twins.
"Julien... is named after our father's last name in memory of Grandfather." 'Sera' finally said making everyone, minus Julien, look at her in shock before looking sad.
"Hold it, 'named after your father's last name in memory of your grandfather'?" Nya asked curiously, earning nods in return before the others realized of what she had said.
"YOU TWO ARE ZANE'S KIDS?!" Jay shouted, making the twins shake their heads to get rid of the sudden ringing in their ears.
"Well that explains why Julien has the Ice Element and his sister's looks, but all that's left is finding out who the mother is." Misako said, making the twins look at her in slight shock.
"Is it not obvious?" Julien asked, earning 'no's in return.
CRASH! WHOOSH!
"What the-" 'Sera' started.
"My door! FLAME!"
"I think... Flame burned Mor's door again." Julien said before all of them went through the door and up a flight of stairs to see that they were in a huge kitchen/living room where a fifteen year old girl with wavy brown hair that reaches past her shoulders and amber eyes wearing a green hoodie and dark red pants just stared at nothing in shock with her legs over the arm of the chair she was in and a book limp in her hands.
"Mada…?" 'Sera' started before a small red blur ran past with a blond-red blur after it.
"Flame get back here!" The male voiced blond-red blur shouted at the small red blur, Flame, before going through another door.
"How many times this week?" Julien asked as 'Mada' blinked several times.
"Seven." She answered before going back to the book in her hands.
Everyone, minus the twins and 'Mada', blinked in surprise at of how many times a door was burned and replaced in a span of a week. Everything was quiet, the ninja and parents were looking at everything in confusion, Julien was looking over a blueprint at the dining table, 'Sera' started pulling out pans to make a late breakfast, 'Mada' was still reading her book, and the only noise was the male blond-red blur chasing Flame outside.
"So... does anyone know what year it is?" Jay asked curiously, earning three stares.
"It's 20XX." The three teenagers replied, earning shocked looks from everyone.
"IT'S TWENTY YEARS IN THE FUTURE?!" They shouted, earning shocked looks themselves.
"I thought they used a skin cream to look younger," Julien said surprised. "I didn't know that they were their past selves!"
"You weren't the only one Jules," 'Sera' said before looking through a window on her right. "How long do you think Mor's going to chase Flame?"
"Give it a few more seconds," 'Mada' piped from her seat. "He'll burn himself out."
After she said that, the door suddenly flew open and scared almost everyone from the sound it made with the wall. In the doorway was a panting thirteen year old boy with blond hair that spikes around his shoulders and green eyes wearing a red jacket, red pants, and black shoes who walked into the room before faceplanting on a nearby couch. "Aaahhhmmmm…" He mumbled into the couch as a familiar Fire Dragon appeared and stared at him.
"Burnt out?" 'Mada' asked, earning a weak nod from the blond. "Sera's making brunch, so you might want to not eat with your face on the couch."
The boy pushed himself on his hands to give an unimpressed stare at 'Mada' before sighing and got off the couch. He pulled out a chair and nearly faceplanted the table if not for his hand catching his cheek. 'Sera' put a plate of over-easy eggs, hash browns, bacon, and sliced toast in front of him but he just ignored it for trying to catch his breath.
"I thought the dragons became the Ultimate Dragon?" Kai asked as he stared at Flame, who stared back.
"A few years ago, the Ultimate Dragon suddenly appeared and started glowing golden before separating into a red light, a blue light, a brown light, and a white light," Julien said as 'Sera' gave him a plate of almost the same thing she gave 'Mor', except his has over-hard eggs. "Then the dragons appeared from those lights and were back to their original selves."
"Do you guys want food?" 'Sera' asked, trying to change the subject and got a lot of nods, two which were enthusiastic nods.
"Are we going to the Museum of History later? Stormus says that one of the excavators found something that ties in with our Elemental Power." 'Mor' asked, getting nods in return before everyone went back to their brunch and discussed pretty much everything. Cole only fainted once after learning that he was the mother of Julien and Seraphina, Sera for short, Zane was shocked to find out that he was turned human after an incident a couple of years before the twins were born, Lloyd nearly fainted after discovering that he was the mother of Garmadon, Mada for short, and Morro, Mor for short.
Turns out both future Kai and Lloyd were expecting their firstborn to be a boy so they decided to name 'him' after Lloyd's father, only to be surprised as Garmadon turned out to be a girl. Either way, Ray and Maya were ecstatic to have grandkids.
