The group was now on the way to the temple of the Creator and they were using Nathan to pilot my mech and make him carry everyone. "This is a lot of weight you guys." Nathan said as the mech slowly moved along the path towards the mountains. "I don't think Hunter's mech can take much more of this. Remind me why we decided to use this and not the ninja-copter again?
"This was the only thing that could carry all of us." Weiss told Nathan. "Plus: I can't be bothered to walk myself." A quiet sigh left Nathan's mouth.
Suddenly the mech started to get slower and slower. Nathan looked down at the mech's control panel and saw that it was running out of energy. "You have got to be kidding me. This thing has to be charged. Why would Hunter design this into his mech when he hacked it?" Luckily enough, there was a gas station just up the road that he could see.
"They might have a generator up there if we are lucky." Lloyd said.
"Tread with caution ninja." Wu told the two. "A gas station in the middle of nowhere is not the safest of places."
The mech reached the gas station and Nathan jumped out of my mech. "I'll go see if they have a generator or something." he told the group. A small bell rang as Nathan opened the door. When he looked around no one seemed to be there. "Hello?" he said to no response. "hmm. This isn't creepy at all." The gas station looked normal at least.
"Sorry about the wait, honey." a female voice said as a door behind the counter swung open. Out walked a woman with long brown hair. She wore a baseball cap and was wearing some sunglasses which she took off and put on her hat. "What can I do for you." she smiled as she looked Nathan up and down.
"U-uh. Do you have a generator by chance?" Nathan asked feeling a little uncomfortable. "We have to charge up our mech outside." He pointed at the mech through the window.
The woman looked outside and whistled. "That sure is a beauty. Just like you." She smiled as she winked at Nathan. Nathan's face lit up red and he started shaking out of nervousness. The woman laughed. "I've got a generator in the back. I'll bring it 'round to your mech over there." She turned around and left through the door she came in.
A red-faced Nathan walked out where the others were waiting for him. "What's with you?" Blake asked Nathan. The water ninja said nothing, and the group watched as the woman walked out from the side of the gas station with the generator.
"Oooooooh." The group said in unison to which Nathan still said nothing. The woman grabbed a couple plugs and slammed them into the mech. The mech slowly began to charge up.
"Where are you people headed?" The woman asked starting up the charger for the mech.
"We're headed there." Nathan pointed at the mountain.
"Drakul mountain!?" the woman gasped. "Haven't you heard about the curse?"
"What curse?" Yang asked.
"The curse of Drakul. Everyone that has gone up on that mountain has never returned. Doomed to be trapped on the mountain forever. People have said that they've seen the lost souls watching them as they pass by the mountain."
"How much do we owe you?" Sensei Garmadon asked the woman.
"Oh, it's on the house." The woman said winking at Nathan again. She took out a piece of paper and slid it in the mask of Nathan's ninja suit. "Call me." She mouthed to him.
The mech soon finished charging, and like lightning Nathan unplugged everything and hopped into the mech. "We never speak of this again." Nathan said glaring at everyone. The group all simultaneously looked away from Nathan as he started the mech up and continued their journey.
The Destroyer sat in his dark room. A single light shine on the left console of his chair so that he could see his controls. The only other thing that was visible in the dark room where the Destroyers bright purple eyes.
Squall from Phantom Task stopped in front of the door to the Destroyer's chamber where Borg was keeping guard. "You've been demoted from builder to guard I see." Squall spoke with a bland look on her face. Cyrus said nothing. "Whatever." Squall rolled her eyes. "What is the Destroyer even doing anyway?"
"The Destroyer is meditating in his chambers. He wanted me to make sure that no one gets in."
"Well I need to speak with him." Squall tried pushing Borg out of the way. The Mechanical controlled man's body did not move at all as Squall continued to try and move him.
The Destroyer sat in his chambers with his eyes closed as he tried to control the new powers in his mortal form. "The boy." The new creature grumbled. Visions of me popped into the Destroyer's mind. One vision was of Lloyd, Nathan, and I at the temple of the Creator destroying the Nindroid Army. "No." The Destroyer mumbled. Suddenly a bright light flashed from my chest in his vision. "NO!" The Destroyer flew up out of his chair to reveal dark purple eyes. An angered scream left the Destroyer's mouth as he grabbed his chair, that was bolted down, out of the ground and threw it at his chamber door.
Brog and Squall were listening to the screaming and jumped back when they saw a large dent appear in the door. Suddenly, the doors flew open and a large amount of smoke left the room. Everyone in the area turned to look at the room. The Destroyer's purple eyes lit up through the smoke causing a surprised look to appear on Squall and Borg's faces. "Hunter...is alive." A deep growl came from the glowing eyes.
"M-my lord?" Borg questioned. An Orange and Purple glow appeared around Cyrus Borg as the Destroyer pulled Borg's out of his chair and brought Borg's throat into his hand.
"THE BOY IS ALIVE BORG!" The Destroyer yelled at Borg. The purple eyed creature let out a deep breath and starred at Cyrus Borg. "You will find what Dimension he is and send one of his little IS friends to DESTROY THAT BOY! Do you understand me Borg!?" Borg's head nodded up and down rapidly and the Destroyer dropped him. "Good. Then get to it so that we may kill Hunter once and for all!"
"Yes, my lord!" Borg said as he climbed back into his chair and went off.
The Destroyer's eyes moved towards Squall. "Ah, my dear Squall. Please call Cinder over for me. I'd like to speak with her." Squall nodded at the Destroyer and headed off to go get Cinder. "That boy will be killed if it's the last thing I'll do." The Destroyer growled once more. He entered his chamber once again and the dented door shut behind him.
"So, Hunter." Shiro said as I walked out of the medical room to see two other people standing outside. "This is Coran & Allura." Coran was a tall skinny man, with a very bushy mustache and a royal outfit on. Allura was a woman who had very long light bluish gray hair color in a bun, with a combat suit on. "I'd introduce you to the other members of the team, but at the moment they're all on a mission."
"So, this is the little chap that you found in space?" Coran spoke to Shiro as he walked around analyzing me. "Weird outfit if you ask me."
"It's a pleasure." Allura greeted me with a handshake. "What were you doing out in space?"
I was in space? How the heck am I still alive? "It's hard to explain, but there is no time for how I got here, I have to get home my friends are in danger."
"We would love to get you home, young man." Coran started. "The only issue is that we are currently our team is currently on a mission right now, and we need to be here when they get back."
"You don't have a ship I can take?" I asked the group.
"We do, but you came out of a portal. Do you even know where you are? What's the use of a ship when you don't even know where you are going?" Shiro pointed out.
"That's true."
"Why don't you stay with us as our guest for a bit." Coran said to me. "Then you can figure out where you need to go, and we'll take you there."
"Okay. If that's my only option, then I'll do it. Thank you all for your kindness." I smiled at the group gratefully.

Meanwhile, Nathan, Lloyd and the others were still traveling through a forest with rough terrain, as the continued towards Drakul mountain where the Temple of the Creator rest. However, the Sensei decided to trail behind the mech and discuss the current action plan for once they reached the Temple of the creator. "Once we get Hunter back, the temple should give the Ninja all the powers they need to face the Destroyer." Sensei Garmadon spoke to his brother.
"Yes, they should. Though we must focus on there training. They will be back at square one with where their powers stand." Wu replied to his brother. Suddenly, a dark mass whizzed pass the two Sensei in the woods. They both stopped dead in their tracks. "Did you notice that brother?" Wu readied his staff. Garmadon nodded and readied his staff as well.
The others did not notice the Sensei stop and continued to push forward. Out of nowhere, General Cryptor appeared in front of them. "Going somewhere?" He laughed as several Nindroids appeared around the mech and Sensei in a circle formation. The Nindroids all joined Cryptor in his laughter. Cryptor pointed at the mech, and the Nindroids started to close in on the group. "Surrender now, and the Destroyer promises he will kill you quickly."
"I don't think so!" Lloyd shouted at Cryptor. The green ninja jumped high off the mech and used Spinjitzu on several of the Nindroids. The Nindroids flew back into a tree, breaking it, and causing it to fall on top of them. Lloyd smirked, thinking he took out the small bunch of robot ninja. However, the Nindroids weren't destroyed yet. They all pushed the tree off the top of one another. Lloyd took a step back in shock.
"I'm looking forward to killing one of the Creator's descendants." Cryptor said, making Nathan turn to face him. The General drew his two katanas and prepared to fight Nathan. Nathan scowled at him.
"Everyone off." Nathan ordered teams RWBY and JNPR. The groups got off the mech and Nathan stood face to face with General Cryptor. Cryptor motioned his katana for Nathan to attack him. Without hesitation, Nathan charged at the General and punched him with my mech. The mech's fist traveled several feet with Cryptor. Nathan pulled his fist away to reveal an undamaged Cryptor. "What?" Nathan took a few steps back.
"New Stone Armor." Cryptor laughed. "Now you have no chance at all." Cryptor slashed at Nathan, missing by only a few centimeters. Nathan jumped back closer to the others to avoid Cryptor. "Fellow Nindroids." The army looked at their leader. "Show them who the superior ninja are."
"We won't be able to win this fight." Pyrrha said to everyone.
"She's right." Ren chimed in. "We need to get out of here." The team started thinking of ways to escape these Nindroids.
Jaune blocked a Nindroid's sword with his shield, and as he pushed it away, he saw several large boulders sitting a top of a large mountain ledge. "There!" he shouted. "Everyone shoot that mountain!" Everyone of guns began to shoot the mountain ledge, causing the boulders to start to fall towards them. Nathan quickly grabbed the group with his mech and jumped out of the way as the boulders fell on top of all the Nindroids and Cryptor.
"That won't hold them for long." Garmadon said. "We must keep moving. The future depends on it." The mech, with everyone on it, quickly ran away.
As the group reached a good distance away, the Nindroids began to lift the boulders off themselves. Cryptor and the other robots threw the boulders into several trees, causing many trees to be crushed by it. The mechanical General looked off into the distance the Ninja ran off in and began to laugh. "Run, Ninja, run. You have only prolonged the inevitable."
Shiro and I sat at a table with one another and he told me how the shipped work, and how it was originally a castle on the planet Altea, Allura's home world. "Speaking of homes; where is your home Hunter?" Shiro asked me.
"I've traveled around a lot, but at this point I would have to say that my home is a place called the IS Academy."
"Where is that?"
"It's in another dimension. I've lived there for almost a year now with my brother. I have to get back to him and stop this villain from destroying it. He destroyed my first home, and I won't let him destroy my second one too."
"Well Hunter, my friends and I will do whatever it takes to help you." Shiro put his arm on my shoulder. "We never leave someone in need."
"Thank you, Shiro. I'm gonna need all the help I can get." Suddenly the massive spaceship began to shake, causing Shiro and I to lose our balance. The two of us ran on to the bridge, where Coran, and Allura were. "Allura, report."
"Another one of those portals have opened up!"
"Galra?" He asked her.
"This is something different! It's like the portal Hunter came out of, but larger!"
"It's caused a large surge in energy on the ship and the shields are offline now!" Coran panicked. Shiro and I ran up to the glass to look at this portal. We didn't see an empty portal though; we saw several large ships flying towards the castle.
"They found me." I whispered.
"Who found you?" Shiro questioned.
"The Destroyer, and he's sent everything he's got at me."
