The Terrorist organization known as Phantom Task had been released. The Destroyer and his army stood before them. "Who are you, and why'd you come rescue us?" Squall spoke to the mechanical beast that was the Destroyer. The Destroyer took several steps forward and handed them their IS units.
"Surely Squall, you would recognize the beast that was killed at the IS Academy by those pathetic ninja." He smiled. Phantom Task was shocked. "For months I waited. I waited for the defeat of my Sister-in law and the awakening of the age of technology. Then I was able to return to the physical realm, almost." The Destroyer growled at the thought of him still being digital and trapped in the Digiverse.
Madoka walked up and got in the Destroyer's face. "Why would we do what you say? Last time we listened to you, we were caught." The Destroyer laughed and snapped his mechanical fingers together. The Nindroids around him prepared there weapons and pointed them at the three women. "I suppose that's convincing enough." The young girl took a step back.
"Hey can you guys let me out too!?" A voice spoke behind one other cell. Phantom Task all sighed at once. The Destroyer looked in the cell to see a red haired looking girl who's leg was chained against the wall.
"Please don't let her out." Squall spoke.
"I'm not a girl! How many times do i have to tell you guys this!?"
"Whatever, lets go." Autumn sighed.
"This won't be the last you see of Alex Sokolov! I will have my revenge!"
The group proceeded to ignore him and walked off. "First, we need a plan on how to infiltrate the school the three ninja are trying to hide at." The Destroyer turned around. "Come, let us head to the academy."
"We're attacking the academy?"
"That's our base of operations." He spoke quietly as the Nindroids moved out of his way and he walked through them. "Cryptor, how is the task force?" Cryptor began to walk along side him.
"They'll be ready by the time your plan is my lord." The Destroyer nodded. "Should I prepare Phantom Task's IS Units my lord?" The Destroyer nodded once more.
"Those powers will be mine." He growled.
The tournament's music blared at Beacon Academy. "Welcome to the second day of Beacon Acadmey's annual pre-vital festival tournament!" Oobleck boomed over the announcements. Teams RWBY, JNPR, SSSN, and Lloyd, Nathan and I sat waiting to see who the next people to fight in the tournament were. "Today, we will continue with our single battles. Let's see who's competing in this wonderful battle today!"
Two screens came up that spun around with every competitors face on it. The first screen stopped. "Coco Adel VS." Professor Port paused. The second screen finally stopped. "Lloyd Garmadon!" The crowd cheered for the two contestants.
Nathan and I turned to Lloyd who looked panicked for some reason. "Nervous Lloyd?" I asked. The Green ninja nodded. "Why?" He found Coco in the audience and pointed at the purse by the side. "That? Are you afraid she'll hit you with her purse? Yeah that might hurt but you've took worse hits."
"That's not why I'm nervous." Lloyd finally spoke. "I've been told that her purse transforms into a mini gun." Now Nathan and I were panicked. Why does almost every weapon here turn into a gun!?
"The fight shall begin in an hour!" Port boomed once more. Worried looks sat on our faces, for we wete not prepared for the fight that has yet to come.
"I'm telling you guys, I won't win this fight against Coco." Lloyd said, walking as fast as he could ahead of us, but we kept up with him as he walked.
"I thought the Green Ninja never quit, nor a ninja in general." Nathan said. Lloyd sighed and ignored what Nathan said completely.
"Look," I started as I grabbed Lloyd's arm tightly, causing him to stop. "We need to get stronger Lloyd. The Destroyer doesn't just want me, he wants all three of us. We are the only things standing in his way."
Lloyd looked away from Nathan and I and stayed silent for a moment. "I told you already, I'm not gonna fight her." Lloyd ripped his arm out of my hand and walked off. Nathan was about to go after him, but I stopped him. Team RWBY came up and joined us as we watched the green ninja walk away.
"What's with him?" Yang asked me. Nathan and I shrugged. Something's up with Lloyd because he's never been like this. "Well anyways we wanted to see if you boys wanted to go to a noodle stand for lunch, we'll take it to our seats as we watch the tournament fight. The thought of Chen appeared in my head again as noodles were mentioned. After what he tried to do to Nathan and I, that stupid old man.
"Sure!" Nathan smiled. "But shouldn't we get Lloyd?"
Sensei Garmadon walked along side of us. "Let him sit for a while. He just needs some time to himself and while he's doing that," Garmadon paused and pulled Nathan and I over and whispered to us: "I need you two. Cyrus has been taken, along with the Destroyers staff."
"WHAT!?" I yelled. People turned and looked at me, which caused Sensei Garmadon to shush me. "Sorry." I spoke quietly.
"While Lloyd is fighting, I need you Nathan to search the campus. It is guaranteed that at least one Nindroid is here looking for Hunter." Great this is what I needed today. A friend freaking out and not telling my brother or I why, and the enemy spying on me and getting ready to snatch me up. Stupid Destroyer. I can't wait to pummel him. "Be careful though. They are known to go invisible, use what my brother and I have taught you and try and find any Nindroids that are around." Nathan nodded and walked away. His search of the school had begun.
"As for you Hunter," Garmadon began, turning to me. "Stick with your new friends at all times. They're as strong and can protect you."
"Roger that Sensei Garmadon." I walked back over to team RWBY, now not only nervous for Lloyd, but for my brother as well. If Nindroids are watching me, than I've put the whole academy in danger.
"What was that about?" Blake asked.
"It was nothing." I said. "Let's just go get our food and enjoy the tournament." The four girls agreed and we began to leave when I remember I forgot my wallet in my room. I wish our suits had pockets. "Hold up girls, I just gotta run to my room quick and grab something. I'll be back in a flash."
Nathan stopped in the hallway and got a bottle of water out of a vending machine. "Gotta stay hydrated as I search for Nindroids. Though could I drink the water I create? Nah. It'd probably be unsanitary." He said out loud to himself as he walked down the hallway. Nathan was the only one in the hallway. Everybody else was at the tournament. "Now if I was a Nindroid, where would I be?" The water ninja paused for a moment. They'd probably be somewhere with a lot of technology. He thought. So that narrows it down to...the whole school. I'm not very good at this. "But I gotta protect my brother." Nathan spoke with a stronger attitude now. He was bent on protecting me more than he was himself.
Suddenly, as Nathan turned a corner taking a drink of water, he saw a Nindroid starring directly at him. Nathan spit out his drink and pointed at the machine. "A-A-A N-N-Nindroid." Nathan stuttered. The Nindroid turned around and ran around another corner. "Hey get back here!" He chased after the Nindroid. When he turned the corner General Cryptor stood in front of thirty Nindroids.
"Hello Ninja." Cryptor spoke, pulling out his two swords. Nathan pulled his techno blade off his back and activated the two ends of it. "Good, I was hoping you wouldn't run."
Cryptor ran at Nathan and jumped high into the air. The General's blades swung down and clashed against the hilt of Nathan's Techno blade. Nathan pushed Cryptor away and began to swing his techno blade back at Cryptor, but Cryptor blocked each swing with only one sword each block. "Is this all you have to offer? Pathetic." Cryptor sighed.
"I'll show you Pathetic!" Nathan yelled, shooting a massive amount of water at Cryptor. General Cryptor dodged and the water struck down three Nindroids that stood behind Cryptor.
"Finally you use your powers." Cryptor said with delight. Nathan let out a yell and swung his techno blade hard at Cryptor. The Nindroid began to laugh as he blocked the attack with both of his blades. "Quit holding back! Show me what you have to offer!" Cryptor kicked Nathan back and started to shot lasers from the little gun in his armor at Nathan. Nathan spun his techno blade and blocked each shot that came at him. Cryptor began to march forward and laughed as Nathan was slowly being pushed back.
"Not much time left boy. Your running out of hallway. Four Nindroids appeared behind Nathan as he looked back with a nervous look.
Nathan was getting mad. "ENOUGH!" Nathan yelled at the top of his lungs. The sheer force of his scream caused all the Nindroids to fly backwards several feet. Cryptor got up and was completely surprised by what just happened. Nathan was surprised as well and paused as he looked at himself. "What was that?" He mumbled to himself.
Cryptor, on his back in fear of Nathan now, looked out of the window next to him and saw me running to my dorm to get my wallet. Nathan noticed me as well when he looked out of the window and then looked at Cryptor who was standing up. The General laughed one more time as he turned invisible. The Nindroid army did the same. "Oh no. He was heading to the dorm. Nathan used spinjitzu and flew down the hallway towards our dorm room.
I reached my room and kept my door opened, thinking that it'd take only a few seconds to grab. Where did I put that stupid thing? I thought to myself as I dug through my closet. Suddenly my dorm room door slammed behind me and I turned to see neo one was there. That was weird. A Nindroid quickly appeared in front of my face which caused me to scream. It was Cryptor and he wasn't alone, two other Nindroids appeared behind him.
"Finally got you alone." Cryptor laughed. "The Destroyer will be pleased with my capture of you." Two more Nindroids appeared behind me and grabbed my arms. I tried to pull away but couldn't escape.
My door slammed opened and Nathan stopped using Spinjitzu as he entered the room. "Get away from my brother!" He forced the Nindroids holding me back with his streams of water. I kicked Cryptor back and Nathan ran over and grabbed my arm. "Come on!" He pulled me out of the room and we began to run down the hall.
"After them!" Cryptor ordered.
As we ran down the halls, more Nindroids appeared behind us. Finally as we reached the lobby of the dorm rooms, we were blocked off by three Nindroids at the front door and the other Nindroids catching up. They all began to circle us. "Gotta plan?" I asked as Nathan and I got back to back with each other.
"I was actually hoping you'd have one." He chuckled. The Nindroids all began to move closer and they all drew their swords, ready to capture us.
Cryptor finally reached the lobby. "Give us Hunter, Nathan and we'll leave." The robot told him.
"Not on your robotic life!" Nathan yelled back as I was thinking of an idea.
"I think I have an idea!" I spoke.
"Go for it!" Nathan panicked as the Nindroids got closer. Nathan and I hooked arms. "Now what?"
"We do what we do best. Use Spinjitzu!" The two of us began to use our Spinjitzu and it created a tornado that was triple the size of a usual Spinjitzu tornado, as well as a mix between orange and sky blue. The tornado began to suck in the Nindroids and Cryptor anchored himself to the ground as he stabbed one of his swords into the ground. Cryptor watched as the Nindroids were all sucked up into the massive tornado and then suddenly thrown out of it and into the walls and outside.
Team RWBY was heading back to the dorm to see what was taking me so long. Suddenly several Nindroids came flying through the glass doors and the windows of the lobby and landed in front of the girls, deactivated. The two girls ran inside as we finished using Spinjitzu. "Oh my god! Are you two OK!?" Yang asked seeing the Nindroids piled up on the floor.
"Yeah we are. Though I wouldn't be if my big bro wasn't here." I said putting my arm around Nathan. A robotic grunt came from behind Nathan and I. The six of us looked over to see Cryptor throwing a deactivated Nindroid off of him and slowly standing up.
"Ugh. You're still alive?" Nathan sighed.
The six of us got into fighting stances and Cryptor glared at us as he put his sword away. "This isn't the last you'll see of me." General Cryptor growled. "Though Nathan," the mechanical ninja looked at Nathan. "I look forward to our second date." Cryptor began to laugh and turned invisible. The six of us walked out as Nathan and I told the girls what happened.
"You really mixed your tornados together and created a massive one!? That's soooooo cool!" Ruby spoke in awe.
"Yeah." I smiled rubbing the back of my head blushing a bit. "I guess it was pretty cool."
"Someone's face is reder than Kai's suit." Nathan teased as he jumped in front of me.
"Ooooooo." Yang said as she jumped next to Nathan. My face got even reder and I looked away.
"We're only messing with you bro." Nathan laughed as he put his arm around me. "Now let's go watch Lloyd fight."
Lloyd sat on a fallen tree holding his face up. "Son?" He heard his father say behind him. "Everything alright?" Lloyd shook his head. "What's wrong?" Garmadon's asked as he jumped over the tree and sat down next to Lloyd.
"It's this stupid tournament." The green ninja pouted. "I don't want to fight."
"Why not?" His father questioned. "Are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid...well...kind of."
"Afraid of what Lloyd? You can talk to me. Are you afraid of that Coco person you have to face?"
"No I'm not scared of her. I've talked to her in class. She's a really cool person. I'm afraid...afraid of failing my friends."
Garmadon laughed a little causing Lloyd to glare at him. "Afraid of failing your friends? How would you fail them?"
"Well if you must know, I was afraid of...of losing the fight. It'd show that I wasn't strong enough to protect my friends. I'd feel pointless. Like I'm worthless in a way."
"Worthless!?" Garmadon was horrified. He got up, knelt down in front of Lloyd and put his hands on his shoulders. "Listen Lloyd. No matter what the outcome, you aren't worthless. You are my life's greatest achievement and nothing will ever change that. You aren't worthless to me son. The others agree with me. Losing one fight doesn't define your strength. It's how you think of yourself. That's what defines your strength, and Lloyd, son, you are the strongest person I know. Your mother and I are so proud of you OK?" Lloyd hugged his father which caught Garmadon off guard. Garmadon hugged him back.
"Thanks dad. I love you." Lloyd said with tears rolling down his eyes.
"I love you too Lloyd." They both let go of each other and stood up. Garmadon put his hand on Lloyd's shoulder. Now you go out there, and you show them what the green ninja can do." Lloyd wiped away his tears and nodded. A big smile sat on Lloyd's face.
"It's time to show them what a ninja can do!"
Next Time on Dimension Holders Rebooted:
