“We’ve searched every inch of this place and still no sign of it!” I complained. “What are we missing?”
Garmadon hummed to himself in thought. “Perhaps we’re looking in the wrong places.”
“I’m pretty sure a temple of light would have light matter in it.”
“I meant we’re looking in places where we expect to find it.”
Cole’s eyes glanced to the four pillars of the room. “What if we need to put our swords in like we did for the Golden Mech?”
“But we’d need Kai for that, and he’s all the way out there,” I said. “And we have no way of contacting him.”
Misako cocked her head at the bell. “Maybe the bell might . . . no, that wouldn’t work . . .”
“Hey Zane, any suggest—Zane?” The guy was entirely ignoring us and walking right outside. “Uh, where are you going?”
“Upon arriving here, I noticed a 0.5 percent increase of brightness in the source of the light outside the temple,” he explained. “Perhaps there may be a clue there.”
Exchanging glances, the rest of us followed him out to the tower on the right.
Cole trailed Zane’s line of sight to the shining light. “What, up there?”
“I am picking up an energy reading emitting from one of the towers.”
The dragon’s footsteps turned my attention to him, and Zane hopped onto the ice head.
“Going up?”
After the rest of us hopped on, the dragon flew up to the roof, and we hopped off with Zane leading the way.
“Check out this view! You can see everything from up here!” I exclaimed. Despite the sense of doom hovering over this place, the green shade of the treetops under the afternoon sun easily made you forget this was an island of darkness. There was even a nice breeze that carried the scent of saltwater all the way out here.
Glancing back to the others, they were already nearing the tower. There, a golden cube could barely be seen through its light, and I had to squint the closer I inched to it.
“Anything?”
“Besides the blinding light over here? No not at all,” Cole replied.
Through squints, I could see Zane feeling the cube with his eyes closed. “There’s an inscription written on the cube, but I can’t seem to make it out.”
“Can you move it?” I asked.
“I . . . don’t see any reason to, but, let me see . . .”
Gently, he began to carefully turn it away from him. Metal scraped against stone for a few seconds before something heavier began to move behind us, and rumbling soon followed.
“W-what’s going on?!” I asked.
“It’s revealing the light matter!” Misako exclaimed. “Look!”
We eased our way to where she disappeared to, and we were greeted with a secret storage space. And inside that space was a golden bowl harboring a golden substance.
“Excellent work, Zane!” Garmadon praised.
I studied the light matter with a raised eyebrow. “So uh, how much do you think we need?”
Cole cautiously reached his hand out and brushed his fingertips against the matter. “I don’t think we’ll need that much. I barely even touched it and I can tell how powerful this stuff is.”
Slipping his hood off, he scooped up a few handfuls of it before placing the matter inside his hood. But before he could finish, the bowl was instantly sealed away, and the cube turned back to its original position. “Let’s hope it’s not too late to reach them.”
Sensei’s POV
There was still no sign of Janet, and I would have begun to believe that she had hidden herself well were it not for the cheetah’s persistency. Many twists and turns, and even ups and downs we had to follow, and many times the trail even backtracked.
“There are signs of a struggle scattered across the trail,” I inferred.
“She has to be fighting back,” Lloyd confirmed. “It’s . . . amazing how strongly she’s fighting it off.”
“Alone she may be strong, but with others, she can be unstoppable.”
“We’re stronger united.”
All of a sudden the three of us were lurched away from the ground and into the air, and we crashed down in different directions. Shaking my head, I sat up to see earth shards obscuring someone from view.
“Don’t you come any closer,” Janet growled.
Upon spotting her, the most noticeable thing was a decently sized spot stemming from her heart revealing her gold suit. With closer inspection, I noticed half of what was her left eye was a fierce green.
Lloyd was about to speak when the cheetah stalked forward. Her gold eyes examined Janet, and the Ninja fought against restraints invisible to the naked eye. The tip of the cat’s tail twitched as it smoothly swayed, and Janet’s arms gradually lowered.
My nephew glanced to the skies with a prayer in his green eyes. “C’mon, guys. Where are you?”
Janet shook her head, and lightning began to crackle between her fingertips. In a heartbeat the cheetah whirled around to bring Lloyd down to the ground just as threads of lightning skimmed over their heads.
“Ninjaa-GO!” I leapt to the rocks and hopped from one to the other before bringing my staff down.
By the skin of her teeth the Gold Ninja lunged out of the way, and she summoned her sword to retaliate. Instantly she winced, and she began to struggle to dismiss her sword.
“Sensei . . .” she strained to warn.
Thunderous wing flaps brought everyone’s attention to the skies. The Ultra Dragon roared triumphantly as the rest of the team save for my brother jumped down. In Cole’s hand was his hood glowing with what I could only assume was the light matter.
“Just in time!” he announced, but the notion only caused Janet to grip her sword with both hands with a low growl.
“Eeeasy there, Janet,” Jay soothed in a nervous tone. “Niiice and easy.”
“You’re outnumbered,” Garmadon stated. “Your best decision is to stand down.”
“Or else what?”
Holding Kai and Nya hostage was Destiny and Blake, and the wolf was unwillingly as submissive as a domestic dog.
“How about a trade?” Blake challenged. “Your friends, for the Gold Ninja.”
“Uh, ahem, you ever considered the fact that you’re waaay outnumbered?” Jay asked.
Blake formed a sword of dark matter and held it close to Nya. “That has never bothered me before, Blue Ninja, and I don’t think it ever will.” Kai squirmed under Destiny’s grip as Nya swallowed.
“Ohhh don’t you even think about it!”
“Then hand over the Gold Ninja!”
The group remained silent as Janet’s eyes darted around. Even the dragon felt the tension in the air.
“You lose someone no matter what. There is no point in worming your way out of this.”
Cole’s eyes darted from Janet to Kai and Nya, and I could see a sort of glint in his eyes. Clenching a fist, he pulled his Earth Sword out to summon its blade, and he pointed its tip at Janet.
“Cole! What are you—?”
“Saving our team, Zane. Now come on.”
Janet dared to stare down Cole and his unwavering gaze, but eventually she dismissed her sword before walking forward.
“And don’t try anything funny.”
Destiny seemed as surprised as the rest of us, but Blake carried on the trade as if in routine. I watched Cole’s every movement, and he remained as grave as ever as he readjusted his grip on his hood.
What are you planning, Cole?
The group met in the middle, and Kai and Nya were shoved forward while Janet begrudgingly took her place next to her sister.
“I bet you think you have the upper hand, don’t you, Blake?” Cole retorted. “Well think again!”
Blake rolled his eyes. “Please. If this is about numbers again then you’re out of hands to play.”
“Not yet.” His eyes glanced to Janet, and Blake’s eyes looked behind him before turning around.
Shock collided into us as Janet was reverting back to normal. She let out a breath as renewed vigor flared in her eyes.
“Nice one, Cole!” Jay cheered.
“How did you—?” Destiny whirled around to lock on to Cole’s hood, the light matter glowing. “You! What did you do?!”
“Like I said, we’re not out of hands just yet,” Cole challenged.
Janet forced Blake and Destiny forward as the rest of us began to close them in. “This is for your own good, Des.”
Destiny balled her fists as her back hit Blake’s, and she summoned a corrupted water whip.
Blake’s POV
My eyes darted from one member of the team to the next as the rest of the Ninjas readied their elemental swords. “We’re outnumbered, Destiny. We need to retreat.”
“Oh no! I am not retreating from these guys!”
Curling my fingers, I reached for her hand. “Listen to me. Look at their numbers. It’s us against all of them. If we’re going to get your sister back, we need to retreat.”
Kai, unsurprisingly, was the first to attack, and I formed a sword of dark matter to meet his blade. Des took the chance to blast water at her sister, who merely froze it. Immediately the Ninjas divided to conquer, but I refused to back down.
“It’s good to have you back, Janet,” Lloyd said from behind.
“Good to be back,” she replied.
“Keep her still, Janet!” Cole called, avoiding a watery tentacle by a few inches.
I shot Zane back and blocked Wu’s staff before kicking Kai’s thigh. “Stay close to me, Destiny!”
“I’m—busy—here!” she barked between hits.
“Cole! Up here!” Garmadon called.
The Black Ninja chucked his hood at the old man, and I was about to blast it out of range when Nya kicked my hand. My sword dissipated the moment it hit the ground, and I slide kicked Kai before pinning him down.
“You’re not getting rid of us that easily,” I breathed. “Especially me.”
We tousled in the dirt and knocked over Nya and Zane, both of us swatting away each other’s punches. The ground shook behind me as the earth shifted, and a yelp from Des was quick to follow. I stole a glance over my shoulder at Janet and Lloyd just securing hastily formed earthen chains to her wrists, giving Kai the opportunity to throw me off of him.
From the dragon, Garmadon was aiming a handful of a golden substance at Des. With a growl I abandoned my opponents and freed her with a pulse, forcing the others back. The earth shattered like glass, and I was barely able to shield her from the golden substance. A searing sensation ripped through my upper arm, and I cried out in pain.

A hero of yore who's name is long forgotten, they became fatigued from repeatedly saving the world, only to never quite have friends. just comrades. this is on top of their good deeds never being repaid, even when it was needed the most. Eventually, it was just too much. As the heros of yore started to fall from grace, this warrior chose their mind over the world. They imprisoned themselves in an endless sleep, hoping to never wake up again. Thanks to being asleep for so long, all their power had no outlet, and was forced to dwell inside a mortal body. By the time someone found them, and woke them up. Such power was too overwhelming, resulting in LIGHT MATTER's current state.
MIT researchers demonstrated extremely strong nonlinear light-matter coupling in a quantum circuit. Stronger coupling enables faster quantum
« Most of the useful interactions in quantum computing come from nonlinear coupling of light and matter. If you can get a more versatile range of different types of coupling, and increase the coupling strength, then you can essentially increase the processing speed of the quantum computer. »
