Enter The Ninjaverse

"Alright... here goes nothing!" Nya shouted.

A set of robotic arms slowly forced the shards of the Realm Crystal together, arranging them until they formed the rough shape of the unbroken jewel. A small mold came up to gently press around the crystal, the hands retracting as it did. When the mold was removed, what looked like a white jacket had been wrapped around it. As soon as it was done, a metallic wire frame lifted it up into the air.

Harumi let out a long sigh and let green power form within her hands. She concentrated power in her hands, the sound of energy charging up filling the room. With a loud crackle, the power shot out in a beam from her hands, striking the little jacket and permeating to the crystal within. Harumi concentrated, pouring out her power from her hands strong enough the green light consumed the entire lab around them. The heat made the film completely dissolve, leaving just the suspended crystal being directly bathed in energy.

After nearly fifteen seconds, Harumi lowered her hands. Slowly, the metal frame lowered the sparkling green Realm Crystal down, its surface still showing the cracks within it but looking completely whole. Harumi slowly walked forward and reached out, gently holding it in her hand. The crystal was completely cold in hand.

"Moment of truth," Harumi focused, attempting to reach out towards the void once more. She tried to recall the sensation of how it felt, to connect back that realm. The crystal began to vibrate in her hands. She pointed the crystal towards the ground. The green power inside the crystal began to loop back and forth between Harumi and the crystal, and for a brief moment, Harumi felt something.

With a massive burst of green energy, the crystal shattered in her hands. Harumi's eye twitched as the pieces fell from her hands and down onto the floor. With an angry shout, Harumi formed and Rhotatae disc in her hand and hurled it straight into the ceiling. It harmlessly dissipated on the roof, but it did little to help her quell her anger. Nya shook her head and let it drop to the table.

"Okay... so, experiment thirty seven, failure," Nya lifted her head up and tapped a few buttons on a keyboard in front of her, adding it to the sadly increasing log, "Maybe we just aren't using enough green power?"

"No... it's because the First Rhotate, Chi, whatever Master made it," Harumi groaned, gripping her fists, "He must have used the Golden Power to create it. None of us have that, so we can't recreate the energy inside of it!"

"Well, green power comes from the gold, maybe if try different levels of power we can eventually get it?' Nya offered hopefully, "I'll make a note. Either way, it's getting late. Let's go ahead and call it here then, okay?"

"Yeah..." Harumi sighed, running her hand up through her hair, "I'm going to borrow one of your bikes and head back to Stixx, alright?"

"You sure?" Nya raised an eyebrow, "It's a pretty long drive from here to Stixx. I can get you there much faster if I call for the Bounty."

"No, I just, wanna be alone for now," Harumi sighed, "I'll be back tomorrow to keep doing the experiments, alright?"

"Alright, if you think that's what you need," Nya walked over and placed a hand on Harumi's shoulder, "But, you know that we're all friends here, right? You can talk to us. I... know it's hard being away from home for so long, you know..."

"I really just don't wanna talk about it, Nya," Harumi gently shrugged her off, "I, really appreciate the sentiment but just, it's not easy right now, okay?"

"Yeah, I get it, go ahead and take the red one," Nya tossed Harumi a key from her pocket, "Just don't let Ronin mess with it. I know he messed with Kai's bike and now it's making all sorts of weird noises whenever we try to use it."
