Chapter 9

Sensei and Nya rode into the mountain village, with Nya's motorbike. They came across the villages tea shop. Sensei stepped out of the side car he was in, and looked at Nya.

"Wait here." he said, "This won't be long."

Nya nodded her head, and stayed by her motorbike. Sensei walked into the shop, and saw the shop had stayed the same. The smell of herbs hit his nostrals; welcoming the smell of fresh tea leaves. He walked up to the counter, and saw the woman, who owns the shop, had her back turned to take inventory of her herbs.

"I need Remembrance Tea." he said

"Hmmp. Only an idiot would need that kind of tea." the woman said in a croaking voice, and turned around and saw Sensei, "Oh it's you. Why would you want that tea? Did one of you nina's forget to cook? Or how to fight?"

"No." said Sensei, "I need it for my son."

"Hmmp. You seem old to be a father." she stated

"I may be old. But my son is the same age as my ninja's." Sensei retorted back at her, " Now I need that tea for him."

"Alright, alright geez." she says and went into the back.

She came back with a kettle of tea. Sensei placed the money on the counter, grabbed the kettle, and started to leave. But the woman stopped him to give him one last advice.

"Remember one sip of that tea. He'll remember everything." she said

"Thank you. I'll keep that in mind." said Sensei and left.

"Woo-hoo."

"Yea-haw."

Lloyd's dragon flew at high speeds in the clouds. Cole, being the expert flyer, flew the dragon with ease, without panicing as he was afraid before. Behind him were his 'Brothers', Kai, Jay, and Zane were discussing last nights event.

"I find it confusing still." said Jay

"What?" Zane asked

"If the ninja we were fighting last night was Sensei son. Then how is he our age, if Sensei is you know old?"

"Things happen I suppose. Think of Garmadon for example, he's Sensei's brother and they are about the same age. And yet, he has a son who is younger than us. And we don't know about their pasts."

"Ok, I guess it makes sense a little."

Cole has been listening to the conversation, but hasn't heard Kai spoken at all. He turned his head and saw Kai was disappointed.

"You ok Kai?" he asked

"Not really." Kai responded

"What's on you mind?" Jay asked

Kai turned his head to face Jay.

"Half of me is proud for Lloyd, for mastering the fireball technique I taught him." he answered, "The other half is disappointed for not saving him."

"What were we suppose to do?" Zane says and answers his own question, "Lucas had those smoke pellets against us, which gave him the upper advantage."

"I guess you're right." Kai sighed and his turned his in disappointment.

Cole and the others understand him. They all wanted to save Lloyd, but Lucas to them, is trained ninja as they are. He shook his head, and continued flying. He looked down at the ground for the entrance of the Misty Forest, but couldn't see it.

"Zane, how close are we?" he asked

Zane opened his arm, and studied the map for the tracker's location.

"According to the map, it should be near us." Zane responded

"I think I see it." said Jay and pointed to a forest below.

The others looked to the side and saw a forest surrounded by fog. Cole pulled the reins to slow the dragon down and fly down.

"Easy boy." Cole said to the dragon and were halfway down to the ground, "Everyone grab a backpack. We'll jump from here."

Cole grabbed a backpack with his suit color, and jumped. The others grabbed a backpack with their color, and jumped off. The wind was blowing in their faces, howling in their ears, as they free falled to the ground. They landed on a different branch of a tree, and jumped down. They stood infront of a forest surround by fog. They heard birds chirping in the distance, vines and branches hanging down on trees, making it look huanted. This brought chill down their spines, but they know that somewhere is Lloyd and Lucas.

"Guys, I give you the Misty Forest." says Cole as they walked up to the entrance.
