Chapter 8: Ninjago City In Chaos

Date: November 6th, 2024

I cant just make this Nadakhan clone go away. He will just come back even if I somehow manage to nail him good with my sword or something. I could try my BRAINS Blaster or my daggers but hes a very slippery one as I literally just mentioned. And trying to make him fall asleep into a dream or nightmare with Artist's Eye: Evolution doesnt seem very feasible to me at all. Whats even more problematic is the fact that hes really a serious master at manipulating people into wishing to be sent away, leading to their capture inside of the staff he inherited from his father who died with the collapse of Djinnjago due to the rules of the realms including Ninjago. When one realm is destroyed, its sibling realm is destroyed. The Cursed Realm being destroyed was behind what happened to his original realm. Seeing no option to get rid of him, I brace myself for hie mind games. "Hello there, human stuck permanently as a zombie. Dont you wish that you could free of that cursed youre bond to? Dont you want to gain back your mortality as well as resume increasing the strength of your arms?!" I dont reply, I just stare at him. "Whats wrong? Dont you want to make a wish? Dont you want to be alive again in that body of yours just like you are in your original body?" I still dont reply. Just like how you shut the hell up when dealing with the police in our world, I keep quiet to make myself as safe as I possibly can be in this situation. Anything I say can and will be used against me. Instead, I just shake my head no and stare at him firmly. "Is that a no? Oh come on, I know you are selfish on the inside!

At the end of the day, all of us are selfish on the inside no matter how kind we have ourselves come across as!" I still refuse to talk. I stand up my ground firmly, refusing to move or talk at all. "Come on! There has to be something you want so desperately that you'll do anything for it!" Yeah, I'll do anything for some of my hopes and dreams alright except for making a deal with someone like Nadakhan. The djinn begins to get impatient with me: "I can change the outcome of that situation that has vastly changed the course of your near future in your world! I can make you think and build faster for your creative projects even in your world! I could grant you so much! Everyone has 3 wishes to use so.. what will you wish for?" Id wish for him to go away but hed twist that wish and just come right back anyway. And even if I got specific enough to not fall for his main trick, I doubt he would just buzz off so easily. I just stand there in defiance of him. "Whats wrong? I thought knights like you werent afraid of anything, not even a djinn such as myself! Come on! There has to be something! You're a knight and I know everything about you that there is to know! I can allow you to wish for every last one of your enemies to drop dead instantly!" I still dont reply. In this case, silence is resistance. I wont give him anymore fuel to work with than he already has. We are in a stand off for what felt like forever until Sui-Feng of the Gotei 13 appears with her Zampato out. She runs past all of the clones of Nadakhan and shouts with her Shikai dripping in a fresh poison: Widow's Peak poison: "You conniving bastard! Take this, your one and only known weakness! You are holding up our comrades and I dont appreciate that!"

She stabs the original Nadakhan but it has no effect. Nadakhan dismisses all of his clones and smirks: "Im afraid that Widow's Peak does nothing to me now!" "Bankai!" She unleashes her Bankai and aims it immediately at Nadakhan: "I will always despise using this Bankai! DIE, YOU DAMN DJINN!" The blast from the resulting explosion does get Nadakhan but he regenerates effortlessly before making another copy of himself to kidnap Nya again. She screams: "Let me go! LET ME GO!" Nadakhan laughs: "Dont resist this, my lover. Dalara. Dont you remember? Its me!" Nya pretends to be her out of nowhere only so that she can stab Nadakhan with lethal precision once his clone hands her off to him. The djinn staggers and drops her: "What is wrong, my love?! I thought you loved me!" Nya kicks him in the face: "Im not Dalara! Im Nya, the water ninja and I will NEVER LOVE YOU!" The djinn laughs: "Its too bad. I will bring back my love with you serving as her vessel!" His muscles suddenly expand to the extreme as a massive power level manifests around him. Sui-Feng yells: "Damn it! This bastard is far more powerful than expected!" Snarky shoots the djinn with her main gun: "Hey Nadakhan! We're still here! *smirks* And we wont allow you to use our friend as a sacrifice!" Nadakhan laughs: "Its too late. Nothing you do can stop-" He is cut off by us manifesting our full auras and getting in on attacking him. I go for his wrists, thats where his arms are the thinnest. I yell: "NADAKHAN!" I dont yell anything else, knowing what he was capable of originally all too well from rewatching Ninjago for the 2nd time 5 months ago. And in factl he creates more clones to stand in our way and theres nothing we can do to damage them.

My sword is useless against the clones. It makes me frustrated but I dont despair or give up. None of us do. There has to be a way to defeat him without Widow's Peak. The clone of his Im trying to bring down constantly taunts me and tries to coax me into saying anything. And its hard to resist doing so but I do so anyway knowing the consequences of failing to avoid his traps. But then, Barla blasts away several of the clones with a Kamehameha. Thats right. Energy based attacks that originate from outside of Ninjago aren't something Nadakhan is used to dealing with. Seeing this, many of us smirk. Lloyd yells: "Thanks Barla! We all know what to do now! Lets get him!" The green ninja unleashes a combinated of his green elemental power as well as returned golden power retrieved through a little field trip into the past conducted by some BRAINS members, one of whom was picked up from the research institute from the storyline of the Dinosaur dark ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom if you can believe that. And yes, it was actually an authorized field trip with no access denied. The other ninja follow suit along with the rest of us. Before we knew it, all of the clones were destroyed but we were too late to stopping Dalara's revival in Nya's body which also included an extra set of arms for some reason. Nadakhan laughs again: "I claim this location.. *makes the area we're in float up to the sky* as Djinn land and on Djinn land, I am now marrying my love at long last! INFINITE WISHES WILL BE MINE!"

But before he could go through with marrying her just like that, he sighed: "Wait, I have no one to help with the ceremony! Very well! I'll just make one of you do it for me!" Carlos chuckles: "Hehehe! Sorry but thats not going to happen!" Lots of tricks and traps are set off all at once by the well known prankster, causing Nadakhan to be stunned for a few moments. Barla pulls out a jar and yells: "EVIL CONTAINMENT WAVE!" Nadakhan screams as hes pulled into the jar: "Not again!" He is forced to drop his staff which has been powering him this entire time. Myself and Herbsalvin pick it up and use our combined strength to break it in two, rendering it completely useless in both function and form. This causes those trapped inside, mostly some of our comrades who had been captured before we got here t be freed plus some minor villains who are instantly taken care of. But the atmosphere shifts out of nowhere as in the resulting chaos as Nadakhan is sealed away into the jar, Dalara gets forced out of Nya's body which returns to normal before the floating land we're on crashes back to the ground and we had to teleport off of it before it did so only to run into the Hands Of Time who have lost their latest Iron Doom. Krux yells at Acronix: "This is why I hate technology! Iron Doom was no match for all those protesters!" "And thats why we're here to get the ninja to crush the motivation of all of those protesters!" "Youre right! We are, arent we?! This should be entertaining! And there they are! Now that our elemental powers are back to where they belong and not on the Time Blades, we can have our way with them including Wu!

Whats the point in returning to 40 years ago to interfer in our own loss back then when we can just keep destroying the future?!" They come at all about 20 of us who are currently together with grins on their faces as time itself unravels around us and things become seriously intense just like that. Before we knew it, we were knocked back to the day the Overlord enacted the last bits of his ultimate plan and fight the Hands Of Time in the middle of Ninjago City. But they arent taking any damage. They try to mess with us using their time powers but they have no effect. Krux smirks: "Brother, it appears that time based abilities have no effect on them at this time. Very well, we will still make them suffer greatly before killing them and delivering their heads to our allies for them to see them for themselves!" Acronix laughs: "Youre right! We can do this! Revenge is ours for the taking!" "Thats right! Time is on our side and theres nothing they can do about that!" A new upgrade to our Quantum Leap bands has just kicked in, allowing us immunity from time attacks as if we werent already protected enough from time alterations as it were. They use their time powers to quicken their movements immensely as well as slowly reverse Krux's aging. Kai yells: "Just look at them! They really are masters over time!" Blaze replies: "Theyre not the only ones! Time for me to be a very bad wolf! Awoo!" Blaze freezes the two villains in time before they knew what hit them, allowing us to hit them again and again with everything that we can throw at them before Zane literally begins to freeze them solid with his powers.

They break free of Blaze's hold only to find themselves human popsicles. Acronix groans: "Not fair! They can freeze us in time but we cant freeze them back?! This is an outrage! General Makia! Where are you and our Vermillion warriors?! We had you all brought back for good reason!" Makia appears with their army in a snap. She has them break the 2 villains out. Krux smirks: "Thank you very much, General Makia. Now then, lets finish these fools off for good! Vermillion warriors, get them! Now that those two useless generals are no more and never will return, its going to be so much easier to finish all of you off! I just cant wait to see the looks on your faces as you face doom and despair!" The Hands Of Time appear to be sharing their powers as they are now stopping time at will to avoid the chaos of the other battle only for some of us to clash with their still in use Time Blades so hard that we are sent back further in time. To the day Kalamar revived Wojira to flood all of Ninjago. Its a good thing all us underwent the chakra training required to walk on water or we would be in so much trouble right now. Makia yells: "We can also walk on water too! We can adapt to any climate or situation! It doesnt matter what era we fight in, we will end all of you all the same! Prepare to be crushed by our power!" This begins a chaotic time shuffle that leads to constant time traveling as neither side can take the lead in the fight.

We go from event to event backwards in time every 30 seconds or so. Im trying to fight off several Vermillion warriors but they just keep reforming after shattering into many tiny snakes all over again and are much stronger than they originally were. Whats more is that theyre not even wearing the helmets they need to reform anymore, meaning they have no known weaknesses anymore. Krux laughs as we fight during the situation in which the Great Devourer ravaged Ninjago City and the Elemental Dragon aka Rocky appeared to help fight back: "Do you see how we have changed things up, Wu?! We will get our revenge! *points at Kai* I still despise you so very much! I cant wait to see the momeng your fate is sealed forever!" After several more minutes, we have found ourselves fighting in ancient Ninjago during the original battle between the First Spinjitzu Master and The Overlord. All we can see other than our sides fighting like we didnt just travel back in time again are the nearly unbeatable soldiers created by The Overlord and the anti-First Spinjitzu Master palace he created in what would later become Ninjago City. We just keep on fighting. It took me using my daggers to defeat the Vermillion soldiers I was just fighting. But then, something that nearly crushed all hope took place. We were unexpectedly pulled back to the present day and witnessed a slaughter of our comrades. Goku Black and the other villains have gotten fully involved but thats not all. While continuing to fight the Hands Of Time and their troops, giant floating screens appeared all over the place.

Katherine Glassgate's voice is projected all over the place at high volume as live footage from other worlds began to play on screen. The worlds we hail from weren't just having our bases and some other places on them destroyed. No, there was much more going on than even that. Everything was getting destroyed. "ATTENTION ALL ENEMIES OF OUR COUNTRY. This is whats happening to all of the worlds you call home! We are going to crush all pockets of resistance left standing in our way! Not even BRAINS will survive for much longer! All of you freaks are done! We will exterminate all of you! All hail Nacirema! God bless Nacirema! Up until now, you have fought us back by defeating us in battle hundreds of times over just the past 3 months. It is now time for that to end. We are invading to destroy all illegals on every planet we can! Only Nacirema shall stand over all reality soon enough! Most of our troops and weapons have been deployed for this operation! For those of you rebel scum fighting us in Ninjago, you will all die too! You may have just destroyed the latesf version of MY PALACE BUT that will not prevent me from doing what Im about to do to all of you! All it took was taking artifacts and technologies from those unworthy to wield or guard them and some research to figure out how to stop all of you at once! Today is the end of ALL resistance! Today is the end of the BRAINS Collective! Today is the end of all those wokeist freaks! Now watch as I make all your attempts at resistance impossible to continue! Say goodbye to all power you have left!" Our foes gleefully step back.

Krux yells to us: "Thats right! We forgot to tell you! We knew this was coming all along! We have all been preparing for a perfect day like today for such a long time! Enjoy losing almost everything in one fell swoop!" Thats when time suddenly stops seemingly on its own. Katherine floats to the sky with some kind of device in her hand. The disgraced ex-god pours some of her great power inside of it, causing it to do things. Portals to countless worlds open around us. Each one points to a different ongoing battle somewhere out there. The villain laughs as the device suddenly releases an unfathomable amount of overwhelming power. It blinds all of us. Seconds later, the blinding light vanishes. And when I try to move as time resumes, I realize I cant move at all. Only my lips can move. I tried to move every part of my body but my lips were the only ones to respond. I even tried body parts that you have to put extra concentration to move but nothing. Just my lips, not even my eyebrows moved. Nor my eyes. And my vocal cords barely moved at all. That too. I try to telepathically speak to Herbsalvin but not even that works. I barely manage to yell out: "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" I try to unequip my armor but I have lost all connection to my magical core completely. I sweat heavily as panic begins to set in. And then, I finally notice whats going on around me. A slaughter even worse than before where not a single one of us is even remotely able to fight back.

Others like the ninja who arent clad in anything nearly as heavy as my armor are able to move around but none of their attacks are doing anything except wearing them out. They cant even manifest just a drop of their individual elemental powers. Makia shouts: "Vermillion warriors, slaughter as many of them as you can!" Krux laughs at us especially as some of our comrades try to fire while inside of fighter ships at him amongst others only to fail miserably and crash land onto the ground violently, leading to instant explosions and a growing aura of death and despair all over again. All I can smell are every single possible smell associated with death. Decomposition, burned hair, and so on. "So much for YOUR technology, BRAINS Collective! And would you look at that, this is yet another case of why technology should be abandoned to bring back the old ways! The old ways were better!" I was speechless and helpless at this point. We all were. Katherine and the other villains randomly rebuild the Imperial Palace in seconds for her to stand atop of as she makes a spontaneous address to as much of the multiverse as she can while her allies and subordinates kill us all systematically and as quickly as possible. "Greetings, multiverse. I am Katherine Glassgate and soon, I will be your ruler if you manage to survive the next few days, that is. It doesnt matter who you are or where youre from, I have shut down all dissenters now. All forms of physical power have been stripped from all OF MY CURRENT, POTENTIAL, AND FUTURE ENEMIES! Magical worlds have now lost all magic!

All cyber worlds have had their electronics shut down permanently! With this item in my hands, I have shut it all down! Its a effort created from countless technologies and artifacts including from recently destroyed empires that fell within the past 5 years! I once again say to all of you that I am Katherine Glassgate and from now on, call me your SUPREME EMPRESS! ALL OF EXISTENCE IS NOW MINE FOR THE TAKING! And we are having many just like you sign up to join my army and be immediately deployed across the multiverse to destroy everything and anything that even brings a single ounce of joy into existence! Who needs libraries, museums, schools, and so on?! THEY MUST BE DESTROYED TOO! Anything that is seen as good for everyone will be destroyed! Books, movies, roller coasters, pride flags, you name it! I have to thank the voters who voted for that man in that universe for inspiring me to finish this device I just used at long last! It wouldnt have been possible if it werent for how gullible you are! Thats right! I see you! I see you all, celebrating and laughing at those so called 'liberal tears'. Thanks a bunch for helping that man out, your reward is having the entire multiverse be scrubbed clean of fun, wokeism, education, science, art, and more and fully come into my rule!" She goes on and on as I watch my comrades continue to be slaughtered. What the hell am I supposed to do in the face of all of this?! Theres nothing I can do! All I can think of is doing things that have now become impossible for me to do because of all of these horrifying things that just happened and continue to happen.

I grit my teeth but literally cannot think of anything helpful still. Thats when I hear Abstractoa's voice inside my head: "Attention all creative minds, I am reaching out to you to use your imaginations to fight back! Imagination is the only force that remains unhindered by what Katherine Glassgate has just done! As such, I am one of the few divine level beings left that can do anything in our collective situation. If you need help unleashing your imagination, let me know by responding to my direct reach out and I will give you my assistance. You do not need to fear me, I am Abstractoa, the Guardian Of Creativity for those of you who dont know me." Hearing their words, I attempt to manifest Artist's Eye. When I succeed in doing so, I start trying to figure out how to use my imagination to fight back. As one of the only individuals I know of who possesses the Artist's Eye well enough to use it as a legitimate eye transformation, it is on me to help continue the fight when almost no one can. Several enemies have knocked me to the ground and are trying to break through my armor to get to me and make me bleed out. I must fight back even though I hate main character moments like this one. But when no one is willing or able to do something to stand up to the crappy situations hurting all of us, you have to be the one to stand up and defiantly just do something! Even if your family seems to treat you like you're completely nuts for knowing that a pandemic never actually ended despite what the media tells them or treats you like a black sheep or ignores your concerns about your own safety as someone who will be hurt by the politicians and/or policies they support.

Even if you live in a community with a bunch of complacant people whose main concerns are grocery prices and whether or not they can get away with ignoring the problems of people worse off than them. You have to get out there and do something as long as you're capable of something, even just questioning why things have to be so terrible and why do we have to accept them in the first place. I tap into my imagination and ignore the laws of reality to just think up whatever the hell I want even as enemies keep trying to break my armor to get to me. But because I managed to repair it not that long ago again, it's going to be a little bit until they can get through it especially with my knight visor protecting the lower half of my face right now. Plus, they have to avoid my sword. They cant yank it out of my hand nor can they afford to near its tip in the slightest. It's pointed up now that Im stuck laying on the ground after being knocked down. One of them tried getting in close while ignoring my sword and died for doing so. Its as sharp as it can possibly get. I made sure of that last time I looked it over. I focus and I focus, trying to think of something totally ridiculous to get me out of my situation. And thats when I think of it. Using my imagination to give myself the ability to move in my armor again. Its so ridiculous that I know its going to work. I use creative energy from my eyes and pour it into every muscle in my body and kill all of the enemies trying to chip away at my armor. But Im not done yet. I activate the evolved form of my Artist's Eye and act like Im using it to send as many enemies as I can into a twisted nightmare.

But before releasing the move through channeling the creative energy through my sword, I think of using that energy for something else and because I cant feel pain anymore, I just keep using my Artist's Eye and pushing my eyes beyond their limits of handling my ability as it stands right now. With that ongoing, I also ignore the tears and increasing strain, resisting the urge to close my eyes at every turn as I just keep going with the creative energy. With my powers gone and nearly all of my comrades dead, I have almost nothing to lose in comparison to what I had before especially with Mii World being in such horrible shape and our space station reduced to a whole bunch of space junk according to what I saw on one of those giant floating video screens. "I hate being the main character in moments like this! But.. FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, MY IMAGINATION WILL FAR OVERPOWER THE ABILITIES OF YOU DAMN VILLAINS! THIS SUCKS SO DAMN MUCH, I CANT DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS UNDER USUAL CIRCUMSTANCES! TAKE ALL OF THIS! ENTER THE WORLD OF MY IMAGINATION!" I start trying to use other parts of my body where other senses dwell to support my creative efforts. An artist doesnt just perceive art through their eyes. Some art also relies on smell for it is a food, drink, or something else of that nature. Some art relies heavily on sound such as music. Then there's taste which food also relies on to be appealing and artistic. Not to mention the sense of touch which helps make a lot of art such as ceramics, paintings, and more take shape along with things with slime to play with.

The enjoyment of experiencing art and the creation of it dont just rely on the senses of sight and sound. They rely on every single sense, beyond the main ones even. That includes the sense of balance which is linked to the ears for some reason. Art is an experience that requires all of one's senses to fully enjoy experiencing and/or creating. Thats not something generative "AI" generated images will ever truly have going for it. I have never really tried to tie my other senses into my Artist's Eye but theres no time like the present to. I yell again as enemy attacks largely focus on me: "You cannot stop my wild imagination once it gets going! You have no idea just what kind of impossible and ridiculous things I have come up with throughout my life! My imagination has been honed just like my muscles have been over time! You could say the imagination is its own non physical form of muscle! I'll prove that to you all right here and now! When you break parts of my armor, I just imagine my armor fully fixed up in pristine condition and it gets fixed immediately! Witness the infinite possibilities of a bright and unstoppable imagination that spans within countless things! This is imagination when completely unchained and released the swallow away feelings of negativity and greed! Prepare yourselves!"

Our enemies, having killed almost everyone by now turn their attention towards me dont know whats coming now. Using my imagination, I unleash manifestations of my strangest thoughts and dreams and let them have their way with our foes. What I unleash is so immense that I cant possibly write about all of it in this very story. Some of my own memories come to life in bizarre and/or deadly ways. I break the zombie curse that has been plaguing me, allowing me to become one with my sword and armor. My armor is now a second skin and my sword is now a 5th limb. They dont look like they are but its true. I channel muscle cells into miniature unseeable gaps in my sword, making it become a lot stronger. My aura mixed with my imagination reaches record heights as my body temporarily becomes immune to all attacks. As long as I keep my focus, theres nothing not even Katherine Glassgate can do to stop me. My imagination replaces the Imperial Palace with a copy of Twisted Land. A copy of Kings Island replaces a massive assembly of Nacirema forces in another location, the copy also includes things removed from the real Kings Island in my lifetime on the sides of it such as Son Of Beast, Dinosaur's Alive, Firehawk, Vortex, Scooby's Ghoster Coaster, Tomb Raider: The Ride or as I rode it: The Crypt, and the 3D theater in Action Theater which was replaced by Urgent sCARE and later, Hotel St. Michelle, 2 haunted houses during Halloween Haunt. Defunct shows were also included in what came along. But I still wasnt done. I imagined everything I possibly could in good enough detail to come to life.

Our foes were horrified as they saw so many places I went to, created in video games, experienced in video games, dreamed about, and so on. Large amounts of the enemy had things suddenly appear and crush them to death in the process. Even the Disney World parks and what had been removed from them in my lifetime such as Stitch's Great Escape, the ruins of the submarine ride that was abandoned for a decade, Snow White's Scary Adventures, original Test Track, Primeval Whirl, and more. Its like I used my imagination to sick my entire life so far onto our enemies. Thanks to all these years of writing, it became that much easier to pull all of this off because my imagination was able to draw from text descriptions, long term memory, and my subconscious. With all of my senses in sync, wild things like fresh falling spaghetti and tomato sauce became possible. I was turning Ninjago City and beyond into a giant mess without hurting any comrade or innocent person who was killed or still alive. In fact, I tried to bring everyone back but the imagination is unable to just do something like that on its own. Or is it? I use it to restore my powers and amplify them to the level I have had them reach in my internal fantasies. Katherine Glassgate's attempts to kill me were having no effect because an imagination on the scale of my own far outclasses what shes able to physically do if brought to life like this. With my magic and everything restored, I manage to start bringing everyone back to life nu imagining my comrades as they were earlier, still alive and fighting hard.

I have pushed myself to the limits of the limits. My eyes are so strained that its taking much of my power to keep them open now even though they keep tearing up really badly. Tapping into my other senses is the only reason Ive been able to go this ridiculously far along with my own writing skills. That and the thinking processes required to bring to life through text on a screen the absurdities of so many of our adventures over the years in my other body which has really doesnt have many fully fledged memories from this body at all. I have left behind much of my own logic and knowledge for a bit to let this happen, to have the joy and concentration and inspiration needed to realiy let loose with my imagination. Through the return of my powers, it really was as simple as I said to bring everyone back to life. I start attacking our foes while staring at them with my imagination active. The Mechanic screams as I imagine his electronics that he has all over himself begin to glitch out and flicker. I speak as I horrify the Hands Of Time with what I do to them: sealing away their powers and making them experience the pain they have inflicted onto others: "So.. Is this what a fully powered God is capable of? A god is someone who can play with reality to the extent that its like theyre just playing with Legos or something. They have so much power that they can just do as they wish and let their desires run rampant if they so chose so. Isnt that right? This is what some Christians must mean when they say their god is beyond space and time. For that to be possible, a god has to be as vastly powerful as the imagination.

Thats the only way that makes sense. Ironically, it is the imagination that brought the concept of gods into the minds of human beings in my world. Polytheistic gods like Zeus were created by ancient people that explain things they otherwise cant explain. In my world, gods people believe in may just be figments of the imagination to explain things that cant be explained but because of that, they also do actually exist. The imagination is so vast that anyone well versed enough in it ends up wandering into a whole other reality they believe they are creating themselves when they are not actually creating it themselves. They are peering into it with or without realizing it. And what they are peering into only becomes more clear the more they create stuff based on it. GET READY BECAUSE IM NOT DONE JUST YET!" I keep my focus on my imagination, just practically emptying out my mind of thoughts in the process. A few of the villains gasp in awe of my knightly appearance being elevated by my wild imagination. Perfect Cell surrenders: "..What have you done?! You have me so transfixed.. Youre everything Im too stubborn to be! Maybe I was wrong all along about perfection! I give up! I cant fight you or anyone else anymore!" Despite being afraid of my imagination, Frieza kills Cell for saying what he just said. He then goes into Crimson Frieza and tries to kill me but Im still focused on my imagination and stay like that by constantly conjuring things or thinking up something creative, no matter what that is. I ignore just about everything our foes say to me by using selective hearing to focus on something really loud I brought to life.

A memory of the loudest musical thing I had ever heard. This is what the imagination can do in a "fictional" setting such as these stories of mine. The laws of our reality severely limit the imagination, forcing us to only express it through artworks and such. We human beings cant break the laws of physics as we know them with it. But I couldn't keep this up forever. My eyes still strained and teared up so damn much. I finally was forced to close my eyes, breaking my concentration completely, causing most of what I imagined to vanish just like that. But the damage I dealt while going all in was still so immense. And my comrades were all alive and well again. I collapse to the ground, once again unable to move or use any of my power with my curse running to full operations immediately like it was never suspended for even a seconds. With my eyes still closed, all I see is darkness as all of this happens. I quickly pass out, however. When I wake back up and somehow open my eyes, I see ruin and defeat all around me and my body all busted up and bloodied. My imagination wasnt enough to permanently turn the tide of battle, damn it. Seeing me wake up, the Overlord speaks: "This one is still not done." Aspera hisses: "Why is THIS ONE SO DAMN HARD to get rid of?! Oh I see! This one is already dead! How could we have missed that fact completely?! I dont understand! Now WHERE IS THE CORPSE OF THAT TREACHEROUS DECEIVER, I AM NOT DONE WITH HIM! My revenge wont be complete until I desecrate his dead body!"

My throat is crushed, I cant speak a word anymore and my armor is in pieces on, in, and around me. I just look on helplessly as the villains continue their "clean up operation" to get rid of all of us for good. But then, I somehow see something attack Katherine Glassgate and destroy the device she used to shut all of us down, rendering our muscles and powers and electronics basically unusable at all. I call my shadows to fill in heavily damage parts of my body so that I can move again for a bit once the villains just give up on making me stop moving completely and move onto whoever else they want to finish off for good. Despite what happened to her device, just as I drink a lot of poisons to heal myself, she announces: "With so many of our enemies dead for good, it is begin to begin invading every afterlife realm in existence too! We will control everything from conception of a life form to its passing on and beyond! Everything will be under our control! Begin invasion operations immediately! We have to get to them before our enemies cross over to the afterlife realms completely and figure out a way to launch a counterattack against us from those realms! I know they can do that! We have seen just how persistent and annoying those freaks can be when pushed to the edge! We better not let them turn the tables on us by using their own deaths against us! I wont tolerate failure from any subordinate! This is our chance to make everything truly ours for the taking especially with those versions of Heaven and Hell we allied with now being empty of resistance and ripe for the taking!

Our failed crusade produced something useful we can use after all!" Once I recover enough, I retreat along with anyone else I can find and save, knowing that we need a new plan on what to do next. We gather with anyone still left in the ruins the Monastary that the ninja made their home again after having to abandon it, leaving it in ruins for a long while before it was rebuilt. There arent many of us who managed to make it out of what has been going on today. I fix my armor with Repair while waiting for everyone else to arrive. Once the others do, we begin talking and I sigh, not knowing what we could even possibly do next until Discord said: "Well, we do need a decent hideout for now. Say, Swiftdrawer, Twisted Land should be unharmed in the midst of this, correct?" I nod: "Its safe. Theres a lot of good places to hide there. Like the dark ride section of its latest roller coaster which is about 45 minutes long. If you cant fly by vehicle, magic, wings, or whatever, its very difficult to get to physically. Theres also Wormhole Racers below that coaster. You cant reach its station without stepping on a very specific pressure plate on the surface level of Sector Infinity. The inhabitants of the park and the rest of the resort died along with most of our comrades. However, they are tied to the magic of the resort and my imagination as its creator. They can respawn and we can join with them to continue our resistance. They dont respawn on the battlefield, they respawn in the resort. Lets go there." No one objects and in seconds, we're in Twisted Land and gather up anyone we can to add to our numbers.

After preparing and getting as many supplies and extras we can carry, we teleport to one of the realms most likely to be targetted by our enemies: the Departed Realm where villains like Chen and his Anacondrai obsessed cultist followers are currently. As well as good characters like Morro who was reformed after his and the Preeminent's villainous plot failed. And what do you know?! We find the surviving Ninjago villains trying to break through its defenses after opening a portal to it with the dangerous Realm Crystal that led to Lloyd and Morro fighting each other for a few seconds in Chima just meters away from Laval and his friends during a moment of relaxation. Mayuri chuckles: "Oh, Nemu! Do you have everything I need ready?!" "Yes, captain." "Excellent! *chuckles again* This is going to be so much fun! Whats really interesting is that we dont even need artificial bodies to physically appear to others outside of our universe right now. But Im rambling! Time to get some research samples and shut down these threats to the Soul Society while we're at it!" Of course he managed to survive. He's brilliant enough to have found a way to defeat a powerful Espada who claimed to be perfect and was pretty much unstoppable until he showed up to ruin that Espada's plans even more than Renji or anyone else did. The Overlord speaks while the other villains bust their way into the realm: "You are already too late. The Departed Realm will soon be ours and it wont be long until all realms connected to Ninjago fall as well. With the spirits of the twisted beings who have been sent to the Departed Realm, we will be even stronger."

The villain unleashes his full power to intimidate us only to jump into the Departed Realm once its broken into, leaving the other villains to stand in our way. Krux grins when he sees me: "So I see you managed to make it this far! Im impressed but you're such an annoyamce that I will just have to kill you myself at this point! You young people annoy me so much! First, it was Kai/my own brother and now, the likes of you have come along to help get in the way of our plans for revenge! I don't appreciate the trouble you have helped cause for us at all! Oh! I dont care if youre a zombie! That will only make your agony last that much longer as I make you suffer until theres almost nothing left for me to crush of you!" I draw my sword and prepare to fight him. He makes his time blades much bigger than even your typical thick long broadsword. But because my sword skills are better than his, we're evenly matched and just cross swords for a while until he gets sick of our back and forth. "I grow tired of this pointless back and forth battle! I allied with Katherine Glassgate to get my revenge and rule over a Ninjago stripped of all its disgusting technology! I should have done this from the start! Face my full power while my brother takes care of the last of the ninja: those 2 annoying robots! Now then, go Artificial Barian Battlemorph!" With his transformation complete, he becomes that much more powerful just like that and Im forced to give my all to try to defeat him. But no matter what I do, I cant hurt him or if I do, he just rewinds the state of his body to reverse the damage. Whats even worse is that hes still slowly deaging.

In time, he will return to his prime physical shape, allowing him to become that much more dangerous and difficult to defeat. This is the same tactic a certain villain from a certain anime world ends up doing to horrify the top heroes and everyone else. I keep fighting Krux even though nothing I do works, not even my laser blaster, best sword attacks, or wind abilities. Nothing. He laughs: "Your struggle against me is useless! Just give up and let me tear you piece by little piece!" "I refuse! I cant beat you but I can make you waste your time on me even more than I already have but staying strong and being on the defense for as long as possible! Since offense isnt working, I must use defense to fight you off! Offense should always be the preferred option for any conflict. In my world, thats going to become more apparently in the months and years to come. In many ways, its getting much worse in my world by the second. Thats the cold hard truth. If someone thinks there is nothing fundamentally wrong about those who are currently or soon will be in power, they arent living in a realistic reality inside of their own minds. HAAAAAAAAAA! Air Explosion! Shield Bash!" He is knocked back by my defensive moves but moves incredibly fast to clash with my sword and shield. I hold out for as long as I can, buying time for everyone else as a result. But then, he overpowers me and leaves me unable to move in the wake of a devastating attack that damages my sword, shield, and armor badly. I am able to repair all of it but Im out of strength so I just collapse. He laughs at me before moving onto someone else.

Only for that someone else to be Bray who ignores him and helps me get my strength back with a dead senzu bean. If a freshly harvested one can heal and restore the energy of someone who is alive, what can be done to make it work for the dead too? Now introducing a truly dead senzu beans that have been left to age and die out in the Sun for days! Warning: DO NOT try this at home, kids. Bray and I gather a few others to take on Krux. With General Makia dead thanks to Bray and those others already, the Vermillion warriors are sort of leaderless now and wont listen to the Hands Of Time directly so theyre easy pickings for the others. This leads their swift defeat in a humiliating way. Krux ignores this but ends up dying at our hands due to being too cocky, arrogant, and stubborn. We basically just outthought him in the end. There was no redemption for him even as his age returned to early adulthood, a time in which he was a lot more persuadable. Acronix, currently fighting PIXAL and Zane notices the death of his brother and screams: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS! YOU WILL ALL PAY-" He is much more arrogant than Krux was and soon dies as well. But the Ice Emperor? He was a whole other story. Much tougher to deal with. Ruthless, relentless, unhesitatingly cruel. He speaks: "I will punish all of you. Prepare to be frozen for all of eternity." He doesnt even need to rely on his former "advisor", Vex, a formling who never found his animal form and became angry and hateful due to that.

The Ice Emperor isnt that much of a talker and all he did was constantly unleashed powerful and deadly ice attacks that were often countered by Zane. The Ice Emperor was just an alternate personality created by a mix of Vex's words, Vex unintentionally causing Zane to have his memory wiped, and the evil found inside the scroll of forbidden spinjitzu he held onto to defeat Aspera, causing her to send him away before being locked up in Kryptarian Prison. He was a challenge to defeat but writing about it doesnt feel that exciting considering the Ice Emperor never really did fight anyone. He just punished people as an emperor and that's about it but his corrupted elemental ice dragon was another story. I was among those who dealt with that dragon and it wasnt fun. But Im not going to write about that fight either in favor of writing about what happened next. Another twist we never saw coming but should have happened. Fighting began in The Departed Realm as dead heroes and villains battled it out and that fight spilled over and merged with our own fight, causing us to be fully reunited with the ninja once again even though most of them were literally dead now. It was a little strange but we're used to fighting alongside dead comrades. Ive been dead for so long besides brief moments in time after all for example. But it also quickly became apparent once the Hands Of Time reappeared but as dead people looking for revenge more than ever that we have a new problem.

The new problem is the possibility of a never ending battle. If someone is dead and bound to a afterlife realm, they can just keep coming back even if their bodies are destroyed. Thats actually one of the reasons why previous attempts to conquer the afterlife realms have failed. The risk of being infinitely stuck fighting the enemy and just being torn to shreds only to come right back infinitely. That being said, there are some afterlife realms where that isnt a problem. But for the Departed Realm, it IS a problem apparently. Krux and Acronix get destroyed several times over but keep coming back. And theyre how we figure out the problem is a real issue for us to deal with. We are forced to take the fight occurring outside of the realm into the realm itself. And the place looks strange to say the least. Adversaries are now fighting and destroying each other endlessly. I almost feel like just leaving to go somewhere else to fight but I knew Im still needed here so I just fight alongside the others. Miss Demeanor laughs: "Would you like at this?! Anyone who has been sent here can never truly die again! This is so chaotic and fun! And for the last time, my name is MISS DEMEANOR, NOT MISDEMEANOR! THERE IS A VERY CLEAR DIFFERENCE!" I fight against her next, given that she hasnt died once yet, meaning she wont just come back instantly. It takes a few minutes for someone dead to become part of this realm based on some research into this realm I read about a while back randomly. So I fight her and defeat her by myself because she is too inflactuated with her own devices. But soon, things take a turn for the worst as the Overlord reveals he has a copy of the device Katherine Glassgate used earlier to do the same damn thing again to us.

We are all quickly defeated and locked up in place instead of being killed. The twisted mastermind even said: "All of you are much better off suffering the way you are now than being killed altogether. But you will all eventually die from what we have placed around each of you. This realm belongs to us now, any who stood in our way have been eliminated or made to be locked up just like all of you." Damn. The villains and their forces, both dead and alive all just leave with a lot of old and new additions from the dead joining them such as the leader of the skeletons from the Underworld. We just kind of try to get out for a really long while, hoping against all odds that theres a way be get ourselves free of the situation we're in. There has to be but it wont be my imagination this time around. But then, something finally happens. The villains made a costly mistake when restraining Nya. With what little strength she is still able to use, she breaks free of her restraints: "Im free! Now to get all of you free as well! I know what to do! *activates duel disk* *draws cards* I summon you first, Jay!" Wow, its been a while since we saw this happen. In little time at all, the other ninja were freed as well through such a bizarre method of breaking free. PIXAL speaks: "Our enemies made another mistake. They didnt shut down robots like Zane and I this time. Thats going to be something that they will learn to regret soon enough." PIXAL and Zane free as many of us as they can and anyone else who has and does get free work together to somewhat speed up that process due to how limited our physical strengths are. Once everyone is freed and we do make sure everyone really is, we head off to stop our foes.

Barla yells: "Lets get them!" We nod and teleport to their last known whereabouts only to find ourselves surrounded by enemies and get instantly defeated with many of us being killed or destroyed. I sigh: "When will this ever end? I know it will end, I have so much hope! But still! We need to know when this constant cycle will end! What will it take for all of this crap to finally stop?! All this running around, being restricted, and losing horribly! We cant go through this again! But whatever the solution to this is, I dont see it!" Barla replies: "The hell am I supposed to know?! I dont know crap about any of this bullcrap! All I know is that something's going to change everything in a single moment in any moment now!" She was proven right as the Ninjago villains would end up having a falling out with the other villains. It started as a feud between one another. Aspera yells: "I have gotten my revenge several times over! I think even Ive had enough! Now where is the rest of what I was promised?! I was promised all of Ninjago so give me all of Ninjago!" Kalamar replies: "Well, I want to revive Wojira again and flood the surface world of Ninjago until nothing is left but the seas themselves!" Nadakhan who has escaped containment shouts: "I want all of Ninjago become the new Djinnjago! I will get exactly what I was promised!" The Overlord speaks: "We agreed to split up Ninjago into multiple pieces to rule over or even rule together over all of it. I suggest you start working together again or I will punish you myself." "*unison* NO ONE ASKED YOU!" The arguments get worse and worse until Katherine makes a bold statement that risks her relations with ALL of the other villains.

"Ninjago is going to be mine and only mine for all of time. The same goes for every other world and every single universe in full. I WILL BE THE MASTER OF ALL REALITY AND GO MUCH FURTHER THAN EVEN PMURT NEDIB OR DON THOUSAND EVER DID! And once I gain enough power, I will regain my place as a god and rise above all gods!" Is Katherine Glassgate alright? She sounds like she has taken some really strange pills lately. Goku Black just laughs: "As long as all mortals die, I'll support you!" Frieza thinks: "Just give me Universe 7 after you kill everyone in it!" The other core villains dont oppose her plans at all. In fact, Frieza adds: "Oh and while youre at it, Im going tp take a piece of Ninjago for myself." Aspera yells: "HOW DARE YOU TURN ON US LIKE THIS! YOU ARENT EVEN LISTENING TO ANY OF OUR DEMANDS AT ALL!" The Ninjago villains, fed up with being treated like this revolt by killing Frieza together and actively striking out on their own. Vangalis speaks: "Forget our disagreements! Ninjago is ours and we wont let our former allies do as they wish to it without our input! I will have my final revenge on the ninja once this is all over but for all.. I WILL HELP KILL THESE TRAITORS MYSELF!" Katherine Glassgate has blown it. Aspera snaps at us as we struggle at get ourselves together to heal and try to finally fight back: "No! We DO NOT WANT YOUR HELP! HISSSSSSSSS!" The Overlord laughs: "Katherine Glassgate, you have made a very big mistake." She replies: "But did I?" Goku Black kills The Mechanic easily. We just step back and let them kill each other while weighing our options on what we're even supposed to do now that things have gone the way they have. Its just pure chaos here right now.

We are currently on the Dark Island in Ninjago, where the Overlord waited for a very long time for Garmadon to show up. Some of the ancient evil's stone warriors appear with literal dark matter in their hands. The Overlord takes it all from there and grows immensely in power. He laughs again as he clashes with Katherine head on. Meanwhile, we send out a distress signal for help with the situation and hope that not all of our comrades have been slaughtered yet. The Wicked Parks Resort inhabitants have already vanished due to being respawned but will be back here very soon. To the shock of all of us, something happens that might change everything after we are all suddenly killed by an angry Goku Black(except me, he couldnt "kill" me no matter how hard he tried and how much I bled out as a result of that). The villain them literally chops me into pieces as soon as he realizes why I wont just go down already, leaving me basically done for as my pieces are cut into pieces so tiny that they cant even support any of my cells anymore all that much. Thats the only way you can put down a zombie like me for good. The only way. My vision and everything naturally fades only for me to see that I have a physical body somewhere. Where am I? Pirate Blaster yells: "Arr! What is this magnificent place?!" Thrashbeak squawks: "Beautiful place! Beautiful place! Squawk!" Wu speaks: "I do not recognize this place from any of the texts left behind by my father as well as various others. Quanish was still a fool but even he never mentioned anything about a place like this."

A mysterious voice speaks: "Welcome, warriors." I look around at all of the statues of what look like heroes from various worlds and eras. The location we're in is truly massive and jaw droppingly well decorated and such. Barla yells: "Who are you and where are you?!" A powerful being appears along with several others. They speak again: "I am Odin. And these are some of my children. We are fusions of the countless versions of ourselves that have been depicted throughout history in this multiverse. Welcome to Valhalla." Bray widens her eyes, having been killed off too sadly: "Valhalla?! The afterlife for fallen warriors.." "You got it right, wise and noble sage. This is indeed Valhalla. Why are all of you here? Because we are going to be helping you come back with all of your abilities and bodies fully restored. And you are all warriors of some degree. Therefore, you are under my protection also in part due to being heroes. We do not give aid to mortals very often and for good reason. But even this realm is under threat by Nacirema and Im afraid you cant keep coming back forever even if you come to any afterlife every single day indefinitely. We will assist you in winning the battle but our help will be limited as agreed so long ago." A few minutes later, we are back in our bodies and mine is still cursed with that damn zombie curse I would never wish on anyone else. The gods dont aid us in battle but I do feel a temporary boost in my stats as I come back to a full restored body with my gear intact. We wait for one side to be ended but neither side gives up until they see us.

Katherine leaves and says to the Ninjago villains: "This isnt over. We will return to punish all of you in the name of God and NACIREMA but for now, you can just fight our common enemies instead! Then we will see about settling things!" And with that, she and the other core villains just leave. Aspera groans: "How can we get our revenge now?! And no, we're still not working with any of you! We hate you just as much as we hate them now!" A standstill briefly occurs only for us to start fighting all over again. Dead villains like Chen and the Hands Of Time are quickly dealt with and never come back after that. I find myself in the biggest fight of them all: the fight against the Overlord himself who stares down at all of us with a complete superiority complex going on. He speaks: "All of you will die. Not a single one of you has a chance of defeating me." Garmadon replies: "Thats what you think! Dont forget that I have my Oni side! *transforms into an Oni* You made me who I am today and I will once again return the favor by helping stop you! Or die trying! Either wayl Im not playing by the destiny you have laid out before me anymore and havent for a very long time at this point." He is the first to attack the Overlord in this situation. I draw my sword once again and add my own efforts into the fight almost right away, using the wind to increase my speed and strength temporarily as I hit the villain with my sword. But my attack is among the many in the first few minutes to have no effect. I quickly get sent back. Cole yells: "TELL ME THERE IS A PLAN!"

Minglow Bats replies: "There is no plan." To be continued..
