Chapter 103: The Final Portal (1):

Jack's POV:

My friends and I were surrounded by Aku's beetledrones.

"We got them outnumbered," one says.

"It won't matter," another one says.

I used my sword, Jill used her fans, and Peter used his arrows, and we destroyed them all. Now, there was just Mandy.

"I better get out of here," says Mandy, but I stopped her.

. . .

We were now interrogating Mandy.

"According to our intel, Aku knows where's there's another time portal," says Johnny, "where is it?"

"I'm not talking," says Mandy.

"Tell us or I won't stop doing this," says Billy. He then sticks out his tongue.

"You're still an idiot..." Mandy begins. Billy then starts doing different weird things. "ALRIGHT! I'll talk! The time portal is in Japan. Some old, deserted empire. No one knows what happened there."

"But that is where we will find our way home," I said.

Aku's POV:

"Mandy might be telling them where the portal is," says Dazrin.

"As I expected," I said, "as I expected."

Jack's POV:

We were getting ready to leave.

"What if we fail again," asks Jill, "we have not been successful every time we find a way home."

"That is why we must reach this portal no matter what," I said.

"Ari and Ali are ready," says Peter.

. . .

We headed for the area and to our surprise... this was my Father's empire.

"Our home," says Peter.

"This is where you lived before Aku took over," asks Ari.

"And look at it," says Jill.

Singer/Chorus: Home is where the heart is
And my heart is anywhere you are
Anywhere you are is home

I don't need a mansion on a hill
That overlooks the sea
Anywhere you're with me is home

Maybe I'm a rolling stone
Who won't amount to much
But everything that I hold dear
Is close enough to touch

For home is where the heart is
And my heart is anywhere you are
Anywhere you are is home
Home, home, home, home!

"I'd say age got to this place," says Johnny.

"Does anyone hear something," asks Frankie.

Then the General comes out of the ground. "Surprise!"

"Find that portal," says Johnny, "I got a score to settle with this guy!"

"Good luck," says Frankie. We then all left and Johnny and the General fight.

. . .

We were on our way. This was where I met that girl. Then Viceroy and some beetledrones appear.

"I got this guy," says Frankie, "go!" We then ran.

. . .

We ran and then we ran into Ashi.

"We will deal with our sister," says Ari, "you go!"

We then ran.

"I will deal with you traitors," says Ashi.

. . .

We finally made it, but then another surprise came in the form of Dazrin!

"If you wish to use the portal, you must get past me," says Dazrin.

"So be it," I said.

Johnny's POV:

I was taking on the General. He had four arms, and each hand had a sword, so this wasn't going to be easy.

"The Leader of the Resistance and now you die," says the General.

"Not today," I said.

I then picked up a pipe and started fighting his swords, but he had the upper hand... no pun intended.

Frankie's POV:

I was trying to fight the beetledrones. Jack makes it look so easy.

"Maybe now Aku will show me respect," says Viceroy.

"Don't count on it," I said.

Ari's POV:

We were forced to fight our sister.

"Ashi, Aku is evil," says Ali.

"I will not allow you to besmirch the name of Aku," says Ashi.

She was not going to listen.

Jack's POV:

Peter, Jill, and I were still fighting Dazrin.

"You are no match for the Crystal Demon," says Dazrin.

"Isn't a crystal just a shiny piece of glass," asks Peter.

"You'll pay for that," says Dazrin.

Johnny's POV:

The General and I were still fighting, but then during the fight, he lost his swords, and I lost my pipe. The General then tackles me to the ground. He picks up four weapons and just as he was about to strike, I stab him. He only grabbed three swords and the pipe. I grabbed one of his swords. "This is for Heather," I said. The General is no longer a problem.

Frankie's POV:

I was still having trouble with the Beetledrones. Then I saw how Viceroy was controlling them. He had a remote. I then jumped to him, and I grabbed the remote and I used it to reprogram the beetles.

"Hey, guys, let's go after Viceroy," says a drone.

"Y'know what," says Viceroy, "I don't need this. I'm quitting!" The drones then all chase Viceroy.

Ari's POV:

Ashi was always the better one, so she was beating us.

"And now..."

"Ashi, wait, what if we were to show you," I suggested.

"I'm listening," says Ashi.

Jack's POV:

We were still fighting Dazrin. I managed to cut her with my sword and Peter shoots an arrow at her.

"Impressive," says Dazrin, "but I am invincible!"

"They hurt you as they can hurt Aku," I said.

"But unlike him, I will destroy-"

Then Jill uses her fans and slices off Dazrin's head. Dazrin's body then falls to the ground.

"Into the portal," says Jill. We then jumped in, but... nothing.

"Another fake," I said.

"You managed to kill the first creature I ever had affection for, and it was for nothing," says Aku as he appears, "this is not the true location of the portal!" Aku then laughs.

CIII

In the next chapter, Jack learns the true location of the final portal.
