Enter The Ninjaverse

With a small flash, a portal opened up against a wall. It was a portal that the group had used before, yet different. Unlike the smooth boundary the portal normally had, the portal was jagged and uneven, like cracks splintered out on glass. The darkness inside was more wild and unrestrained, swirling and writhing in various spots to make looking inside more of a word truly becoming of the word 'void.' It made a horrible crackle as it remained there, one end stable and the other connected to a dying world.

A figure emerged. Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja, stumbled forward out of the portal. His eyes were wide and his breath ragged, and a glance down showed his hands shaking. That wild fear made his breath heave, his body feel weak. Everything about him, felt lit up in true horror. He fell to his knees, planting his hands on the floor, not bothering to look around. He could hear his heart pounding. He could feel the terror that was making it beat.

A loud noise caused him to jerk up and turn around. One noise reminded him he wasn't supposed to be alone. He desperately glanced towards the portal, willing the others had come with him. For a moment, it seemed the void wasn't all there was, a violent portal and a writhing darkness.

Instead, with a flash, one by one his friends emerged. Harumi fell to the ground as soon as the portal all but spat her out, her eyes wild and his hands digging into the carpet. Lulloyd stumbled out and nearly ripped over Harumi, doing a flip over her to remain upright. He nervously adjusted his hairpiece as he looked towards the portal, his eyes wide with disbelief. Mage emerged far more gracefully, but that grace didn't show on his face. He was stunned, stunned to the point of trying to catch up to what was happening. All the while, Lloyd starred.

The portal began to crackle louder. The four scrambled away from it, each looking on at it in confusion. Lloyd's eyes flashed to the last thing he'd seen: the world, surrounded by destruction, wind ripping apart everything... a world that the portal was connected to. The normally pristine border of the portal began to crackle shut. It began to sinch closed. He felt relieved, seeing that it was going to seal away that strange sight inside. His mind, however, knew that Monty was still there. He hadn't come out yet.

Just as the portal gave another crackle and slammed shut out on itself, two figures came flying out of it. They both went rocketing across the room and into a sofa, crashing into it as the portal fully shut behind them. There were no words for a moment. The portal gave one last jerk, and then it sealed shut. And with it, a feeling of warmth seemed to radiate from it. Like a relief from having to stare at what lay beyond.

Monty slowly stood up, brushing himself off despite having no body to brush. In one hand, he held onto the SoS. In the other hand, he held onto the arm of the one he'd brought with him. The four rushed over to check on their ghostly friend, a confused and nervous look in their eye. As they saw the hand of the one that he was holding onto, however, they instantly backed away.

"What...?" Overlloyd groaned as he forced his body to stand up, "What... what has happened?"

Monty looked around. He'd opened a portal at complete random. The room they were in was one he hadn't seen before. It was a large apartment with a step down living room, filled with trophies and massive screens showing scrolling lines of text. The entire room was various shades of nugget to dark brown, all of which came together to show the room styled to one individual. A small window near the front door, a few feet away from them, showed a glimpse out into a world with lights flying back every second.

"Where are we?" Monty demanded, his voice as neutral as ever.

"H-Home..." Harumi stepped forward, "You... you opened a portal... y-you brought me home."
