Author's Note: Well, this is my last Ninjago one-shot that's family centered. I've had fun writing these one-shots & these two OCs really stick out, especially because they're newer characters. Without further ado, I don't own Ninjago or the song "Don't You Worry Child," by Swedish House Mafia. It's a good song.

Down to Earth

(Ninjago City, Dareth's P.O.V.)

I wait outside the dojo. Two of my top students are supposed to be arriving. As a young boy, I was always curious; adventurous. I spent most of my time with animals, seeing how they interact, how they get along. It's quite interesting how two of my students get along.

"Grand Sensei Dareth!" a little voice shouts. I turn & see one of my top students carrying my niece.

"Dakota, bring her over here, pronto," I tell the boy.

"Yes sir," he says. Dakota Starnes is one of my top students.

I look at the mat & see the gash on my niece's arm.

"Dakota, apply pressure to Diana's wound," I say.

"Yes sir. It's not that deep," he says.

I return with the gauze & some water. Dakota is correct, for a nine-year-old. I begin wrapping her arm.

"How did this happen?" I ask.

"We were ambushed. We fought in our best ways, but someone had a knife," he explains. Diana comes to.

"Get away from me. Don't make me,"

"Diana, it's okay. I raced over to the dojo," Dakota says.

"Uncle Dareth," she begins. I give her water to drink.

"How do you feel?" Dakota asks.

"Dizzy. Confused," she says. A car horn honks.

"I guess my folks are here. I'll see you next week Diana, Grand Sensei Dareth," he says.

(In the car. Dakota's P.O.V.)

I hope that Diana will be okay. I feel bad for not blocking the knife when I could have. After dinner, I go straight to my room to relax.

(A week later, Diana's P.O.V.)

"So uncle Dareth, are you gonna tell us?" I ask.

"Yes, once Dakota gets here," he says. Dakota shows up & uncle Dareth explains the origins of the dojo. He then proceeds to explain what it was like growing up.

'I may not be able to learn spinjitzu, but I'm gonna train as hard as I can to be a kunoichi,' I think to myself.

He reveals that he wants us to one day take over the dojo.

(Three years later, Dakota's P.O.V.)

"Hey Dakota," a voice shouts. I turn & see Liam.

"Oh, hi Liam," I say, thinking of a song.

"There was a time I met a girl of a different kind. We ruled the world,"

"Dakota," Liam says.

'I never thought I'd lose her out of sight,' I think to myself. She had to move. We're on our way to the new dojo building. We walk in & see a girl break through 20 bricks.

"Excellent work, Diana," Grand Sensei Dareth says. Diana thanks him. It's not long before we're dating & then getting married.

Author's Note: There you have it. This is insight if Dareth had some family & what it would be like. Dakota & Diana will appear in one of my stories at one point.
