When Worlds Collide
It is a nice and peaceful day in Ninjago as it has been two months since the defeat of the Oni and brought back balance to the realms all thanks to the Ninja by using the power of creation and now all is peace in Ninjago once again as The Ninja were just relaxing and enjoying the peace.
"Ahh after all that's happened these past few months it feels so good to finally relax." Jay said with a smile as he drank some soda.
"You got that right buddy." Cole agreed as he took a bite out of a sandwich. "From the Sons of Garmadon to the First Realm and the Oni attack, it feels good to just rest."
"What can you say? We earned it. We had been fighting every chance we tried to relax." Kai said with a cool smile.
"But we also need to be prepared for whatever is next to come." Zane told them.
"Zane has a point." Morro agreed with a smile.
"What else is there? Snakes? Warriors from another Realm?" Demir said with a small smile. "Don't try to jinx it, Zane. When was the last time we ever had a break?"
"But it never hurts to be prepared, darling, we don't know what will come next." Rose said with a concerned look.
"Yeah, but with Lloyd and Lydie leading us we can handle anything that's thrown our way." Kai said with determination.
"Speaking of which, where are the Garma-Twins anyway?" Jay asked as he noticed Lloyd and Lydie weren't with them.
"I think they're still inside the Monastery or they are at the Bounty." Nya said with a shrug.
With Lloyd and Lydie, the Garma-Twins are looking at a portrait of their father, before he returns to his Dark Lord form as they look at it longingly with sad expressions. "You think we'll ever find father, sis?" Lloyd asked softly.
"I hope so, little brother." Lydie said with a slightly sad tone. "If only things were different and that we could've stopped Hutchins before he brought back Dad's evil self."
"Yeah, if only we could." Lloyd said with a sad look as Lydie placed a hand on her brother's shoulder.
"Hey, at least he helped us defeat the Oni." Lydie said optimistically. "And from these past two months, there hasn't been any sightings or panic of him around. Maybe that means his good side is coming back."
"Yeah, that is possible." Lloyd said with a frown as the Garma-Twins stood silent as they watched their father's portrait together, feeling a bit sad for how Hutchins and the S.O.G. brought back the evil side of him.
"So, how was your first date with the Princess last night, your future highness." Lydie asked with a teasing smile.
Lloyd blushed a bit as he gave his sister a look. "I thought we talked about the royal titles?" Lloyd told her dully.
"Eh, I know. But it's just so fun to tease." Lydie said with a chuckle as Lloyd groaned. "But seriously, how was your date with Harumi, Lloyd?"
"Honestly, it was amazing, Harumi wore an amazing jade and golden summer dress and we went to a fancy night restaurant." Lloyd said with a slight blush and a warm smile. "Though, whenever we walk around, Harumi always had a hand holding me, like she was afraid I was gonna drop dead,"
"Well I don't blame her, you nearly scared us all when we thought you were dead." Lydie said with a small smile. "I mean, I would've done the same."
"Ha-ha, real funny sis." Lloyd told his sister.
"Well I can see that you two are getting along well." A voice spoke up as Lloyd and Lydie saw their mom walking towards them.
"Hi, Mom." Lydie said with a smile.
"Thinking about your father?" Misako asked with a small smile.
"Is it that obvious?" Lloyd asked with a small smile before he frowned. "I mean, I have a feeling he only helped us to save his own hide."
"Whether it was only for himself or not, it's hard to tell from who he is now." Lydie said with a frown.
"I wouldn't be so dismissive." Misako told them, confusing the two, "When I was taken captive by Hutchins, he and the Sons of Garmadons attempted to torture me for information before delivering me to your father."
"We heard, which is why we wish we could've been there." Lydie said with a frown.
"If I had my powers at the time, I would've gone back and saved you and the resistances," Lloyd added.
"Thank you, but you should know that when your father saw what they did to me, he exploded in anger, and then, when we were alone, he opened up to me about the Oni coming," Misako continued surprising the two as their mother smiled, "So I believe that the Garmadon we know and love is still somewhere in there deep down."
Lloyd and Lydie looked at each other and they were about to say something until Kai ran into the room. "Lloyd, Captain, we got a bunch of crooks approaching the Ninjago Museum." Kai said to them. "Guess our relaxing time is over."
"Fighting bad guys and stopping crooks. A day's worth of being a Ninja." Lydie said in amusement as she turned to Lloyd. "Come on, bro. Let's beat someone up to get our minds off of dad."
"Sure. I'm down." Lloyd said as the Garma-Twins turned to their mother. "Well, see you later, Mom."
"Be careful kids." Misako said with a concern frown as she watched her children go off on their mission.
At the Ninjago Museum a bunch of goons in masks led by a middle aged man with a black eyepatch and a goatee and wearing Samurai armor burst through the Museum wall as the people screamed and ran.
"Spread out, search everywhere until you find it!" The man ordered his goons.
"Yes, General Ivar!" A goon said as the goons spread out while the man named General Ivar walked forward while the people screamed in panic as his men started ransacking the museum for something.
"General Ivar! I think this is it!" A man said as Ivar walked up to where his men called out as he pushed one side and then saw a glowing box in front of him, which made him smirk.
"Yes. This is it." Ivar said with a smirk. "We hit the jackpot boys."
Ivar was about to grab it only for a shuriken to hit the side of the wall, making him flinch as he and his men turned and saw the Ninja by the entrance. "Sorry, but that's for looking, not touching." Lydie quipped as the Ninja drew their weapons.
"The Ninja, I had a feeling you would show up, boys take them down!" Ivar yelled as his men drew their own weapons and ran at the Ninja, who charged back at them as they then started clashing weapons while the Ninja used their powers to keep them at bay.
"Seriously, what are they looking for in the Museum?" Kai asked as he knocked a goon away.
"Whatever it is, it's in that glowing box." Morro said as he used his powers to blow away some goons.
"Well, if it's valuable, let's keep them away from it." Demir said as he armored up and whacked some enemies away.
"You guys handle these goons, I'll handle their leader." Lydie said as she grabbed her staff.
"You sure you don't need backup, sis?" Lloyd asked as he used his sword to block a bat.
"I'm good, bro!" Lydie said as she flipped over the goons and saw Ivar cracking open the box and pulling out a purple gem.
"Finally." Ivar said as he grabbed the gem and was about to use it.
"Step away from that rock, bud!" Lydie said with a yell.
"Ahh, Lydie Garmadon, I've heard a lot about you." Ivar said with an evil smile. "It's just too bad that you are the only one."
"Well, when I'm done with you, you'll see why there's only one Ninja of Darkness." Lydie said with her hands glowing purple.
"Oh, I didn't mean your Element. I meant you being the only other Garmadon in this whole universe." Ivar said with a smirk, which made Lydie give a confused look.
"What the hell are you talking about? There's me, my brother, and obviously my father." Lydie said with a brow. "I think you might be losing track." She said as she fired a blast at Ivar, which he simply dodged.
"Are you sure about that? Lord Ein says otherwise." Ivar said while Lydie gave a confused look.
"Lord Ein?" Lydie said in confusion before Ivar held the glowing rock, which glowed brightly.
"Now, face the wrath of the true power of the Rift Stone!" Ivar yelled out with an evil smirk.
Lydie's eyes widened as Ivar pointed the Stone at her and then the Stone glowed before blasting a beam at her which launched her across the room and crashed into a wall as the others saw this in shock.
"Lydie!" The Ninja exclaimed in shock and horror.
"Everyone retreat! We have what we came for!" Ivar ordered his men.
Soon, the goons all separated from the Ninja and ran out the museum as Ivar held the Rift Stone as Demir went forward. "We have to go after them!" He called out.
Ivar then pulled out a device and then created a portal. "Until next time, Ninja!" Ivar called out as he and his goons jumped through the portal as Demir was about to follow but it closed.
"W-What the?!" Jay exclaimed. "Did they just make a portal?! Did they use Traveler's Tea?! Because we already destroyed the Realm Crystal!"
"It looks like he made something to create a portal without using Traveler's Tea." Zane said after seeing how the portal was created.
The Ninja then heard a groan as they turned around and saw Lydie getting up from the ground as they all rushed to her. "Lydie, are you okay?" Cole asked in concern.
"Wh-What? Who the hell is Lydie?" The girl asked before taking off her mask revealing to be not Lydie's face, but a girl with red hair with black at the end of it while giving a confused look. "Lloyd? Guys? What's going on? Why are we in the museum? How did we get here?" She asked before seeing the Ninja giving her shocked and confused looks. "And why are you all looking at me like that?"
"Uh, is this a new look you're trying or--" Morro tried to say, which made the girl gasp.
"Guys, look out!" The girl exclaimed before tackling Morro to the ground, shocking The Ninja. "I don't know how you're back, Morro, but you and I have some unfinished business!"
"Ahh! W-W-What?! I don't even know you!" Morro told the girl in complete confusion.
"Oh, you do and--" The girl stopped as she realized something. "Wait. You're human? And why are you wearing the Green Gi?" She asked.
"Guys, what's going on here?" Rose asked.
"I don't know, maybe Lydie changed from that blast?" Cole asked in confusion.
Zane then used his scanner and scanned the girl before gasping. "This is not Lydie." He said much to The others' shock.
"Okay, seriously, who is Lydie?" The girl questioned. "Because clearly, I'm confused. And when did we get two new recruits?" She asked as she noticed Rose and Demir.
"Lydie is my sister," Lloyd told her.
"Sister?" The girl asked in confusion. "Lloyd, you don't have a sister. And also, how did you get your Golden Powers back? You gave them up after we thought my father was erased in the Digiverse."
"Father?" Kai repeated in confusion.
"Yeah, my father, You know, The Overlord? The Embodiment of everything evil in Ninjago." The girl said, which made the Ninja step back in shock by this.
"W-W-Wait, you're the Overlord's daughter?!" Jay exclaimed as he charged up his powers. "Everyone, power up! We gotta take her out!" He called out he was about to fire lightning at her, but Demir stopped him.
"Wait, stop, Jay! We still don't know how she's here!" Demir said to him.
"Okay, seriously, what is going on here?!" The girl questioned in exasperation. "How is Morro here, who are those two new Ninjas, why does Lloyd have his Golden Powers back, who the hell is Lydie, and why don't any of you boys know me?!" She exclaimed before turning to the Water Ninja. "Nya, back me up on this."
Nya gave an uncomfortable look as she turned to the others. "Um, guys, this girl knows us, but she doesn't know Morro, Rose, Demir, Lydie, or that Lloyd still has his Golden Powers. So, mind telling me what is going on and what happened to Lydie?" She asked, hoping to get her head around.
"Wait, that Stone that the leader of those goons used on Lydie," Morro realized, "Could it have something to do about this?"
"Okay, I am so confused right now, what the fuck is going on here? I thought we were supposed to be resting up after the Oni attack?" The girl said in confusion.
"Oh, that part we do know." Kai said with a smile.
"Wait, before we have any more confusion, what's your name?" Lloyd asked the girl, who gave a confused look.
"Seriously? Lloyd, you know me, Melissa Zhau." Melissa said, which confused Lloyd. "We've known each other since Darkley's?" No response. "We set three Serpentine tribes loose?" Again, no response. "We're the Ninjas of Yin and Yang." Again, no response as she got annoyed, "Oh for… You're my boyfriend for Spinjitzu Master's sake!"
This made Lloyd do a double take. "W-Whoa, whoa, whoa, seriously? You really think that?" Lloyd questioned in disbelief.
"Yes, I mean, come on, we've been…" Melissa walked up to him but stopped as she noticed Lloyd's uncomfortable expression before she saw the others having the same awkwardness before she gave a frown. "You, you guys really don't know me?" The Ninja all shook their heads. "Then… This… This whole place… This… This isn't the Ninjago I know." She said while trying to process what she learned. "Wh-Where am I?"
"Uh, you're in Ninjago." Jay said awkwardly.
"B-But, this is Ninjago, but not the Ninjago I know. W-What is happening? Where am I? What is going on?!" Melissa cried out as she felt overwhelmed while clutching her head.
"Looks like she doesn't know either." Cole said in concern.
"Wait, if this is a stranger, then where's Lydie?" Morro asked in concern for his girlfriend.
"I believe where this girl, Melissa Zhau, came from." Zane theorized while gesturing to the freak out Melissa.
"We better take her to Master Wu, maybe he'll have some answers." Rose suggested.
"Well, at least I know there's a Master Wu here." Melissa said in slight relief. "Hopefully he'll clear things up."
"That makes the rest of us, sister." Demir said in agreement as they walked out of the museum. "Come on, crazy girl. If you want answers, we need them too, so you better explain on the way."
"Y-Yeah. Because I still need to figure out what is going on." Melissa said as she walked forward to them while Lloyd gave a confused look.
"Where are you, Lydie?" Lloyd whispered while looking up, wondering what happened to his sister.
With Lydie, she was unconscious from the blast Ivar gave her as she was starting to regain consciousness she started to hear some familiar voices.
"So how did this girl get in Melissa's room?"
"I don't know, I just came in to check on Melissa and found this girl in her place,"
"You know, when I look at her, she kinda looks like your Mom. Only, you know, a lot younger."
"But why? Why is she here? And where's Melissa?!"
Lydie groaned and sat up while holding her head.
"Everyone, look she's waking up."
Lydie opened her eyes as she noticed the others. "Ugh, my head. That Stone really did pack a punch." She groaned while rubbing her head.
"Glad to see that you're awake." Cole's voice spoke up.
"Yeah, that fight was really…" Lydie trailed off when she opened her eyes and saw her friends, but when she saw Lloyd, he was wearing a Gi with his old color. "Lloyd, why are you wearing Green again? Shouldn't that be Morro's color since you became the Golden Ninja?"
Lloyd gave her a confused look when she said that. "Uhh, what are you talking about, and how do you know my name?" He asked in confusion.
"And did she just say Morro's the Green Ninja?" Jay said in confusion. "I thought he was in the Departed Realm after we beat him and the Preeminent."
"What?" Lydie asked with a confused look. "No. He's one of us. And he turned human again after the Yin-Yang Eclipse on the Day of the Departed."
"I think this girl probably hit her head too hard." Kai said to Cole, who nodded his head in agreement.
"Wait, where are Rose and Demir?" Lydie asked in realization.
"Who?" They all asked in confusion.
"Two of our teammates? The Masters of Metal and Nature?" Lydie questioned with a brow. "Ring a bell?"
"Don't you mean Ryan and Jasmine?" Zane asked in confusion. "They are part of the team but they only help us Part Time."
"And Jasmine is the Master of Plants not Nature." Cole added.
"What?" Lydie said in confusion. "B-But Rose and Demir have always been part of the team, and who's Ryan and Jasmine?" She said in complete shock as the others looked at her weirdly.
"Okay, this girl is completely coo-coo in the head." Jay said as he twirled his finger by his head.
Lydie gave a look before she grabbed a loose staff on the floor and whacked Jay with it, causing the Blue Ninja to yelp in pain. "Say that again, Jay, I dare you." She growled as Jay flinched back.
"Huh, this girl has the same attitude as Melissa." Nya commented with a chuckle.
"Uh, who is Melissa?" Lydie asked in confusion.
"Melissa Zhau, daughter of the Overlord, Purple Ninja of Yin, Master of Darkness, Lloyd's girlfriend?" Kai lists out.
Lydie gave a surprised and confused expression from that. "Woah, woah, woah, WHAT?!" She exclaimed in shock. "The Overlord has a daughter, who has my title, my Element, and is my brother's girlfriend?!"
"Brother? What do you mean by that?" Lloyd asked in confusion.
"Uh, Lloyd, I'm your older sister, Lydie Garmadon." Lydie said with a brow.
"But, I don't have a sister." Lloyd said, which shocked Lydie from that.
"W-What?" Lydie asked in surprise. "B-But you…" She then shook her head before she remembered something. "Wait, that Stone that the leader of those goons hit me with." She said while trying to process what she knew.
"What's going on with her?" Nya asked in confusion.
"I believe this girl is processing out what has happened to her." Zane theorized.
"Or she's completely insane." Kai said with a shrug before Lydie whacked him in the head with the staff without looking. "Ow! Hey!"
"Be quiet. I'm trying to think." Lydie said while still thinking.
"Kai, why don't you go get Master Wu and my mom, maybe they might have some answers for this." Lloyd suggested.
"Sure." Kai said while rubbing his head. "Different girl, similar to Melissa." He grunted as he walked out of the room.
Lydie stood quiet before she thought of something as she took out her phone. "Lloyd, let me see your phone. I need to check something." She said,
"Uh, I don't know if I shou--" Lloyd tried to say.
"Please, it will be quick." Lydie said.
"Uh, okay? But you'll need my--" Lloyd tried to say before Lydie snatched his phone and typed in the passcode that unlocked it, much to his shock. "What the? But how did you–"
"Your passcode is your Birthday. Even I know it." Lydie said as she went to Lloyd's photos.
Lydie scrolled through the photos and saw a few pictures of some of the fights and there was a picture of an Anacondrai that looks like Burmesia, but what drove her off is that there was no Morro, Demir, Rose, or even herself in them, just one girl in a Purple Gi that was standing close to Lloyd in every picture.
"No Morro, no Demir, no Rose, not even myself." Lydie said in shock. "Besides Burmesia, it's just this girl in my Gi and she has my powers."
"Burmesia?" Lloyd asked in confusion before Lydie showed him the picture of the Anacondrai. "Uh, her name is Rattalia. I think you got the wrong snake."
Lydie then yelled in exasperation as she gave Lloyd the phone back. "Well, that confirms it." She muttered while rubbing her head.
"Confirms what?" Cole asked.
"That this girl is not from our world." A voice spoke up as they turned and saw that Kai returned with Wu and Misako.
"Uncle Wu." Both Lloyd and Lydie spoke up, which made Lloyd turn to her in confusion.
"Huh?" Lloyd asked in confusion.
"Explain later." Lydie said as she stood up. "Wu, from what I learn, I take it that this isn't my world, is it? And you don't know me?"
"Indeed we don't." Wu nodded in confirmation. "But from what I can tell, you are from a world where Lloyd has a sister."
"I believe so." Lydie said with a nod. "But who is this girl anyway?" She asked as she showed the picture of the girl in the Purple Ninja outfit and red and black hair standing beside Lloyd, kissing his cheek.
"That's Melissa Zhau, my girlfriend," Lloyd answered.
"Melissa has been best friends with my son since they were in Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Children." Misako spoke up. "They both have never left each other's side and have overcome many challenges in their relationship." She explained much to Lydie's surprise.
"Wow, so you and her have been friends for a long time?" Lydie asked Lloyd.
"Yeah, I can't imagine my life without her," Lloyd said with a warm smile.
"But what about Harumi?" Lydie asked which got everyone's attention.
"What about her?" Lloyd asked cautiously.
"Duh, she's your girlfriend in my world." Lydie answered.
"WHAT?!" Everyone exclaimed in shock.
"Harumi is Lloyd's girlfriend in your world?!" Kai asked in shock. "Harumi?!"
"Yeah, after Lloyd and I found her after she lost her parents during the attack of the Great Devourer, they've been as close as close can be." Lydie explained, "It took years, but during one of our recent battles. the two of them finally confessed their love together," She said happily.
"Well that's an interesting story, but seriously, why Harumi? Of all the girls, why the fuck did it have to be Harumi?" Nya questioned with venom in her voice.
"Why are you guys acting like it's a bad thing?" Lydie asked with a brow, "Harumi's the Sweetest girl I know and pretty tough too."
"In your world maybe, but our Harumi, she's the leader of The Sons of Garmadon." Kai told her.
"What?!" Lydie exclaimed in shock.
"Yeah, she played us all, tricked us and brought Garmadon back to his evil self." Cole explained with a look.
"But that's not the worst thing she did," Jay told her.
"I'm afraid to ask but, what is it?" Lydie asked with worry and concern.
"She nearly destroyed Lloyd and Melissa's relationship, brought back Lord Garmadon, separated us, and took over Ninjago while also causing trouble." Kai said with a look and his arms crossed. "And she has been playing with Lloyd's emotions the whole time when she was acting."
Lydie looked at the group in shock at what would happen. "Okay… That would've been bad if me and Lloyd didn't find Harumi." She said with a frown. "B-But, wait, did you find her before or…"
"We didn't meet her at all after the Devourer attacked." Lloyd said as he looked down in a stern and sad look. "I never even had feelings for Harumi because my heart belongs to Melissa, and it was because of Harumi I nearly lost her." He said as he looked down in sadness remembering that.
"Lloyd doesn't like us mentioning Harumi because it brings back those sad memories." Nya said as she patted Lloyd's back.
"Okay. I feel sorry about what Harumi did to you here. But let me break it to ya, she wasn't always like that. She was a Ninja fan before the Devourer took away her parents." Lydie said with a sad look, which shocked the group. "And if I have to guess, losing parents at such a young age makes you walk the dark path of revenge."
"I guess she did have it rough after the Devourer attack." Lloyd said with a thoughtful look.
"But even though we don't like Harumi, no one in our world dislikes Harumi more than Melissa." Cole commented.
"Heh, that is an understatement because Melissa HATES Harumi with every fiber in her body." Kai said in amusement. "I swear, I think I saw a picture of Harumi on a blow dart target."
"He's not wrong, it's right over there." Zane said as they saw a dart board with Harumi's picture on it with darts and even a knife right at the head of the picture.
"Okay, that is disturbing." Lydie said with a frown, "Wait, where is your world's Harumi?"
"Right now, she's more likely in the Departed Realm." Nya answered.
Lydie reeled back, shocked that the girl she considered a sister was not only evil but also dead as Lydie walked back and leaned on a counter. "Harumi's… Dead?" She muttered while placing a hand to her head.
"Nya, I don't think it was wise to say that a person's friend is dead," Misako said with a disappointed look.
"Uh, oops." Nya said with a sheepish look. "S-Sorry if that came out like that." She said to Lydie.
"I-It's okay, I guess I'm just… Poor Rumi." Lydie said while rubbing her head.
"Yeah that is wacky." Jay spoke up. "Gotta say, Lloyd and Harumi together is the freakiest thing I ever heard," He shuddered.
"Heh, if you think that's freaky, what if I told you that Morro is my boyfriend?" Lydie asked with a grin.
"What?!" The Ninja all yelled in shock.
"Okay, I need to sit down," Lloyd said, feeling his head spin. "But the real question is where's Melissa?"
"Wait a minute, you're from another world right?" Kai asked.
"Yeah." Lydie said with a nod.
"And you said that something blasted you and teleported you to Melissa's room, right?" Kai asked.
"Yeah, that's what happened to me." Lydie nodded.
"And if that's why you're here and Melissa is missing, then that means that she is probably in your world." Wu said while stroking her beard. "So perhaps that whatever has blasted you must've made you two switch places."
"That is highly possible that is what happened." Zane summarized.
"Then we need to find out how I can get back to my world and also bring back your friend." Lydie said with determination as they all agreed.
"But wait a minute, if Harumi is still alive in her world and Melissa is there then…" Cole started off before all their eyes widened.
"Uhh, Lydie is it? You better hope that Melissa doesn't see your Harumi." Lloyd said in worry.
"And it would be especially bad if she finds out that you're Lloyd and Harumi are together." Zane commented.
"So if Melissa sees Harumi and hears that Lloyd and her are together in that world…" Nya added before she trailed off when they saw Lydie's eyes widen.
"Oh shit," Lydie muttered, already knowing what's going on back home.
(Lydie's World)
At the Monastery Misako, Nao, and Susan were pacing around while giving concerned looks. "Oh, where could they be?" Susan asked in concern. "It doesn't take long to handle a few petty crooks."
"They should've been back by now." Nao said in concern.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll be back soon." Misako said as she saw Skylor, Seliel, Pixal and Harumi waiting patiently.
"Did they get a little rusty or something?" Skylor asked with a teasing smirk. "Because I could handle one crook with one arm tied behind my back."
"Two months isn't that long, Skylor." Pixal said to her.
"I know, but just saying." Skylor said with a shrug. "But, they really need a break after that Oni thing."
"I don't know Skylor, Cole was starting to look a little chubby." Seliel said with a chuckle.
"And Lloyd has been a little lax lately," Harumi mentioned.
"Says the girl who had to wait two months to go on a first date with her boyfriend." Skylor teased, which made Harumi blushed in embarrassment.
"W-Well, you know, better late than never." Harumi said with a sheepish smile as the girls all shared a laugh.
Just then Pixal detected something. "It seems like our wait has ended." She said with a smile as they went outside and saw the Bounty being parked next to the Monastery.
"About time." Seliel said with a smile.
Outside of the Monastery the Ninja and Melissa walked off the ship. "So in this world Lloyd has a big sister and is basically taking my spot as the Purple Ninja of Yin and Morro is her boyfriend and these two are basically part of the team after Karlof and Bolobo retired and gave them their powers?" Melissa asked.
"That's, basically everything our world is." Kai said while rubbing his head.
"And well, we didn't know about our powers at first, but when Morro showed up, they just sorta did." Demir said with a shrug.
"Damn, this world is a bit different than mine." Melissa said as she looked at the Monastery and gave a smile. "But, there are still some similarities that I'm familiar with."
"The thing I'm more shocked about is that I had a best friend at Darkley's, who isn't like Brad, Gene and the others, to be by my side all the way." Lloyd said with a smile. "Wish I had that kind of experience here."
"Well in my world Darkley's is a multi-gender Boarding School." Melissa said with a brow. "Seriously, why do boys always get to call the shots?"
"Amen to that," Nya smirked, pointing a finger to her.
"You said it, darling." Rose said with a smile as she, Nya, and Melissa shared a three-way high five.
"Oh, great. Another one." Kai said with a tired look before Melissa came in and whacked him on the head. "Ow! Hey!"
"Shut your mouth, Flame Head." Melissa said, giving Kai a look.
Nya giggled from that. "I like her already. She's just like Lydie." She said with a smile.
"Well, at least I know in some universes, you guys never change." Melissa said while looking at the five core Ninja. "Seriously, you guys are the same in my world. Especially you Kai, because when you had the obsession of being The Green Ninja, you drove me insane that I was fighting the urge to kick you off the Bounty while we were floating in the air."
"What?!" Kai exclaimed in shock while the others chuckled in amusement.
"It's official, she's officially my second best friend next to Lydie." Nya said with a chuckle.
"Well me and my Nya were basically sisters when we first met." Melissa said with a shrug and a smile. "But, we always look after each other."
"That's good to hear." Nya said with a smile.
"Although I did have to slap some sense into her every single time she becomes stubborn, especially during the whole Perfect Match fiasco." Melissa said with a dull look.
This made the others cringed. "Yeah, Lydie does the same here." Morro said with a small chuckle. "It was a bit awkward and funny."
"Well it's probably not as bad as mine, especially since I had to warn Nya to tell Jay what she did or else I would do that, and she lied that she did so I had to spill it after a certain… Pirate Genie incident." Melissa said with a cringe.
"Okay, seriously, is your world doing everything similar to us?" Jay asked in wonders. "Are there any differences?" He asked as they reached the doors.
"Well, there's the Sons of Garmadon, that's a memory I'd rather forget." Melissa told them as they heard the sound of the doors unlocking.
"Man, Hutchins must've been real bad in your world." Demir said, much to Melissa's confusion.
"Hutchins?" Melissa repeated in confusion. "What are you talking about? Hutchins wasn't part of the Sons of Garmadon it was-"
"Guys!" A voice spoke up which cut Melissa off as the gates opened as they saw Harumi standing there with a smile.
The others smiled at the Princess. "Rumi, you're here." Lloyd said with a smile.
"Me and the girls came by to hang out." Harumi said with a smile. "So how was the mission?"
Melissa's eyes widened seeing her before her eyes and hands started glowing Purple, the others took notice as they got confused and concerned by this.
"Lydie? Is something…?" Harumi started before she got a better look, "Wait, you're not-"
"YOU!" Melissa roared before she then tackled Harumi down with a yell, which Harumi gave off a frightened scream as they rolled across the ground, shocking the others, "You snowy-haired, black-hearted bitch! Why can't you stay dead?!" She screamed, holding Harumi by her neck.
"W-W-W-What?! What are y-y-y-you talking about?!" Harumi yelled out as she struggled to break free.
"Don't play dumb with me! I'm not falling for it!" Melissa growled as she kept her hold on Harumi. "You probably had something to do with me being here! You nearly ruined my life! Now it's time to return the favor!" She yelled as a purple flame appeared in her hand as Harumi gasped in horror and shielded herself.
"Whoa! Whoa! Hey, stop!" Skylor said as she and Lloyd rushed up to Melissa and pulled her away from Harumi.
"You leave her alone!" Lloyd demanded with a glare.
"Are you insane, Lloyd?! What the fuck are you doing?!" Melissa demanded in anger. "Don't you know who she is?!"
"The Princess of Ninjago, and more importantly, my girlfriend." Lloyd told her firmly while holding Harumi comfortingly.
"...Your what?" Melissa said in a very dangerous tone.
"She's my girlfriend." Lloyd said to her. "Which I think… might be awkward for you." He says slowly as he remembers that Melissa is his girlfriend from another world.
"Awkward is not the word I'm thinking of right now." Melissa said with gritted teeth as she gave a deathly glare at Harumi who trembled slightly.
"Why the hell did you attack her?" Nya asked, giving Melissa a stern look.
"Why did I attack her? Why did I attack her?!" Melissa repeated angrily before pointing and glaring at Harumi. "This white haired piece of shit is the leader of the Sons of Garmadon! She caused so much pain and suffering for me and my team! She played with Lloyd's emotions and brought back the evil version of his father as revenge for what happened to her parents!"
"W-What?" Harumi stammered while looking confused while the Ninjas were shocked by this.
"W-Wait, in your world, Harumi is leader of the Sons of Garmadon?" Demir asked in shock.
"But I thought Hutchins was the leader of The Sons of Garmadon," Seliel said in confusion.
"Oh no, no, no, no! It was all Harumi! She killed the Emperor and Empress, stole the three Oni Masks, and used Lloyd to do it all!" Melissa snapped.
Harumi's eyes widened, "W-What? My, my parents are…" She said in horror, not believing her adopted parents were dead or that she was the killer.
"Yeah, it's a long story, Harumi." Kai said with a sheepish look. "Let's just say that this girl, switched places with Lydie."
"That's right, and I don't know how you managed to fool everyone here you slut, but it won't stop me from sending you to meet your parents in the Departed Realm!" Melissa said in anger as Harumi scooted back.
Cole took Skylor's place and held Melissa down as the others all looked at the raging Purple Ninja as Seleil spoke up. "Uh, guys, mind telling us what is going on?" She asked.
"And what happened to Lydie?" Nao asked as she and Susan were concerned.
"We will explain everything." Lloyd said before they all heard Melissa yelling in rage while trying to lunge at Harumi if Cole didn't hold her back. "But uh, can we get some tea that will calm her down?" He asked nervously.
"And some rope to tie her down?" Jay suggested with his finger raised.
Later, Melissa sat in the Monastery with rope around her. "Is tying me up really necessary?" Melissa questioned with a brow.
"You tried to blast Harumi into next week," Nya said with a frown.
"I would rather throw her into Torch Fire Mountain," Melissa said with a glare.
Harumi whimpered frighteningly, as Lloyd came to her, "You okay, Rumi?" Lloyd asked his girlfriend.
"If not for you, I wouldn't be, Hero Boy," Harumi smiled reassuringly.
"Ugh, Hero Boy? Rumi?" Melissa gagged in disgust. "Those aren't even good pet names." She muttered. "Oh man, I hate this fucking world!" She whined.
"Who is this girl?" Susan asked.
"And where's Lydie?" Nao followed.
"And what do you guys mean when you said that this girl and Lydie switched places?" Skylor asked.
"Melissa, my name is Melissa Zhau, I am from another world, and in my world I am the Purple Ninja of Yin as well as Lloyd's girlfriend." Melissa emphasized that while looking at Harumi who flinched. "And I am also… The daughter of The Overlord."
This made everyone, other than the Ninja, look at her in shock. "The daughter of our worst enemy? Here?" Seliel asked in complete shock. "Should I get Vengestone?"
"Don't even think about it, Seliel. I'm nothing like my father." Melissa said with a look.
"And all of sudden your aggressiveness makes sense," Harumi commented with her arms crossed. "You get it from your father."
"You are already on my hate list, wanna move to my kill list, Snow White?! Oh wait, nevermind. You already are! Next to my father and Pythor!" Melissa yelled with a look.
Harumi scoffed, "Too late, Pythor is already on mine, along with Hutchins, and now I'm thinking about adding you to the list!" She said with a glare.
"Bring it, you Damsel in Distress!" Melissa dared before she suddenly had a foot swinging to her face, blowing her hair back and shutting her up.
"Don't! Call me a Damsel in Distress." Harumi warned in a low tone, bringing her nose to Melissa's.
"You're right, you're not a Damsel in Distress, you are more of a sad lonely home wrecking orphan!" Melissa growled as Harumi growled and brought her fist to her, but it was caught by Wu as he suddenly appeared in the room, surprising everyone.
"Control your temper, Harumi. You know better." Wu said wisely as he released Harumi's fist.
Harumi took a deep breath and calmed down. "Sorry Sensei." She said before glaring at Melissa. "You are not worth my time."
"I hate you so much you fucking bitch." Melissa growled as her eyes glowed purple as the two girls glared at each other.
Wu then placed a hand on Melissa to calm her down. "Enough. You are in my Monastery." He said firmly, "And I will not allow you to turn your wrath on someone who has done you no wrong."
"You don't know how wrong you are, Sensei." Melissa said not taking her eyes off Harumi.
"And how is the Princess responsible for the crimes of the Quiet One?" Wu questioned, reminding her that Harumi and the one Melissa faced were not the same person.
"Okay, good point, but that doesn't make me hate her less." Melissa muttered.
"The feeling is mutual." Harumi said before sitting by Lloyd. "I really don't like this girl."
"Okay, can we just talk about what is going on and not make a throw down here, please?" Lloyd asked, wanting to get past this. "We still don't know how Melissa is here and not Lydie. She just appeared after my sister was hit by that beam from a stone that goon was carrying."
"A Stone?" Wu repeated before he looked at his nephew. "What did this stone look like?"
"We couldn't make it out." Lloyd said before turning to Zane. "Zane, did you get a recording of that stone?"
"I believe I do after seeing Lydie get hit." Zane said as he then brought out a projection of his memory of Ivar using the stone on Lydie after she got blasted and hit the wall as Zane stopped it.
"Right there. That's the Stone that made Melissa and Lydie switch places." Morro said while pointing to the stone Ivar is holding.
Zane then rewinds the clip and slows it down showing that after Lydie got blasted her form started changing before Melissa appeared in her place before crashing into the wall, which shocked the people while Melissa looked at the video in surprise.
"That's how I got here?" Melissa asked in shock. "But how could a little Stone make me end up here?"
"Hmm, zoom in on that Stone." Wu said as Zane did just that as he took a closer look at the stone before he gasped silently. "The Rift Stone…" He muttered.
"The what stone?" Jay asked in confusion as the others turned to Wu.
"The Rift Stone, one of the four most powerful objects in the entire multiverse, The Dimensional Gems." Wu said as the others listened as he stepped closer. "Like the Realm Crystal, it has the power to open portals between worlds. But unlike the Realm Crystal, instead of a Realm, it can travel between Dimensions, alternate versions of our reality."
"Alternate Dimensions?" They all asked in unison.
"I've heard of that." Melissa spoke up. "Infinite worlds have infinite possibilities, but I thought it was a myth."
"They are real, Melissa," Wu confirmed. "Like say, if Jay wasn't born in a junkyard, he would've been rich and famous. Or if I was bitten by the Devourer and my brother took my place as the Sensei."
"Oh, I think I get it." Kai spoke up. "What if in one world we're not heroes but we're villains instead."
"Exactly, or in Melissa's case: what if Lloyd made a friend at Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys." Wu said while looking at Melissa.
"Bad Children! It's Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Children in my world. Seriously, boys can't have all the fun." Melissa said tiredly.
"At least there's something we can agree on." Harumi muttered with her arms crossed.
"In any case, a different world, similar timelines or different outcomes, different versions of ourselves." Wu explained.
"But what is Melissa's world all about?" Cole asked.
"Like I said, in my world, we have a similar reaction, but some differences." Melissa said as she looked around. "For example, Morro never joined us or redeemed himself until his final departure at the Day of the Departed."
"I would've done that if Lloyd and Lydie didn't talk me out of my anger and hate." Morro said with a shrug.
"Another example is that you told me that the Anacondrai are still around in your world, but in my world, Pythor killed and ate them all minus his niece." Melissa continued.
"Okay, that is disgusting." Cole said with a cringed look.
"Yeah, and I thought our Pythor was insane." Jay said with a cringe as well.
"Trust me, my Pythor is more messed up in the head." Melissa said before glaring at Harumi. "And on a big note, instead of Hutchins who was leader of the Sons of Garmadon… it was Harumi, who tricked us and used us, while also playing mind games and messing with Lloyd's emotions and almost destroyed our relationship to get revenge for her birth parents after the Great Devourer killed them." She said with a glare.
"Ha! There's a laugh. As if Harumi would ever want to hurt Lloyd," Kai commented.
"Actually Kai, let's not get crazy here," Harumi said sheepishly, "If it wasn't for Lloyd and Lydie that probably would've happened, which is why I owe my life to them and I am glad that they got me off the dark path." She said as she gave Lloyd a warm smile to which he gave one back.
"I feel like I'm gonna puke," Melissa muttered with a dull look.
"Wow, you must really hate her, huh?" Jay commented.
"You have no idea." Melissa growled. "After what she did, I won't forgive her, ever." She said as the two girls glared at each other.
Wu then cleared his throat to get their attention. "As I was saying, with Lydie getting blasted by the Rift Stone and Melissa being here, Lydie must be in her world." He explained.
"Which explains how I ended up from my room straight up to the museum." Melissa muttered. "And a bump to the head."
"But is there a way to bring Lydie back?" Susan asked as she, Misako, and Nao gave concerned looks.
"There is a way, and it is through the Dimensional Gems." Wu explained before giving a concerned look. "However, these Gems are very dangerous."
"How dangerous can they be compared to the Realm Crystal?" Rose asked.
"You see there are multiple Dimensions similar to our world and all are connected to the Prime World." Wu explained.
"Prime World?" Demir asked with a raised brow.
"You see, like the form from a tree, the middle of it is the Prime, while the branches represent alternate worlds similar to our own, so the Prime World is the source of all of our realities." Wu explained.
"So my world and your world are part of these branches?" Melissa asked.
"Exactly." Wu nodded.
"What are our Prime selves like?" Kai asked.
"Similar to us, but the Prime version where certain events haven't occurred to our examples." Wu said before he continued. "Regardless, the reason why it is dangerous is because if one tends to destroy the Prime World, all realities will fall."
"So if our Prime World gets destroyed, we all die with it?" Nya asked in shock.
"Yes," Wu nodded grimly.
"Then we gotta be careful with these Dimensional Gems." Morro said, slamming his fist together.
"Although why do these guys want these Gems anyway?" Demir wondered.
"I did also record something Ivar said to Lydie before he blasted her." Zane said as he played the clip.
"Are you sure about that? Lord Ein says otherwise." Ivar said as Lydie gave a confused look.
"Lord Ein?" Lydie said in confusion before Ivar held the glowing rock, which glowed brightly.
"Now, face the raft of the true power of the Rift Stone!" Ivar yelled out with an evil smirk.
Zane then stopped the clip and everyone looked in surprise by what happened and were confused by what the guy said.
"Lord Ein?" Seliel said in confusion. "Who the hell is Lord Ein?"
"I never heard of him." Morro said with a shrug.
"Neither have I." Misako said with a frown. "It would seem we have a new enemy to face."
"What about you, Little Miss Anger Issues, do you know anyone by that name?" Harumi asked with a glare.
Melissa glared hatefully at Harumi. "What makes you think I know him? I never met anyone with that name before." She stated.
"Enough." Wu said firmly. "It is clear that nobody in this world or yours, Melissa, have ever heard of him. So we must begin some info and find the Gems before he does if we're ever gonna take you home and bring Lydie back."
"If we can find a way to contact my friends then maybe we can get some info." Melissa suggested. "Because a friend of mine knows a little bit more about these kinds of things than we do."
"Perhaps if we acquire one of these gems I might be able to create something that will allow us to communicate with your world's Ninja," Pixal told them.
"Or perhaps either bring them here or go to them, each Dimensional Gem has extraordinary powers." Misako suggested.
"As long as I get to my team or get back home, I'm down." Melissa said as she stood up. "I just wanna get back home, get back to my family and spend some romantic time with my boyfriend."
"If it gets you to leave, fine by me." Harumi said with a look as the two glared at each other.
"I think those two won't be getting along anytime soon." Nya said with a cringed look.
"You said it, sis." Kai said in agreement.
"Let's hope Lydie is doing better than we are and that she gets the same results." Lloyd said in concern.
Wu then rubbed his beard in concern as he looked at the image of Ivar carrying the Rift Stone.
Somewhere, a thunderstorm was hovering over a gigantic tower and inside General Ivar was walking towards a room and once he entered he approached the throne before bowing. "My Lord, we have successfully captured the Rift Stone." He said as he showed the Rift Stone. "And we have used it on Lydie Garmadon. She is now out of place from her own reality."
"Good." A deep voice said.
"However, just as I predicted, the Stone swapped her with someone else, and in her place is none other than Melissa Zhau, she now roams the Children of Yin and Yang world." Ivar explained.
"Melissa Zhau, roaming the Children of Yin and Yang world?" The voice said with a growl. "This changes nothing. Both Melissa Zhau and Lydie Garmadon are now out of place from their own world, in unknown territory. Now, we have the advantage without the Ninjas of both worlds' most powerful members." He said as Ivar nodded. "Ivar, take your team and head to the Yin and Yang world and locate The Voyage Stone. Do whatever it takes to get it." He ordered.
"Yes, Lord Ein." Ivar said with a bow before walking away as a man with a chinese robe, a goatee and a ponytail stepped out with an evil smirk.
"Soon, my goal will be complete. Soon." Lord Ein said with a sinister chuckle as it echoed throughout the tower while eyeing the Rift Stone, seeing that he is up to something bigger that the Ninjas, in two worlds, don't know about.
