More Weapons to Find… Nya's Turn:
Zane wasn't sure what to think when he crashed into Kai suddenly. Kai appeared to be bouncing out of excitement, and very quickly shoved a new old flashlight in his face. "Look! We found the Sword of Fire and this was with it! We think it might be another map!"
Zane blinked slowly, before rubbing the bridge of his nose. "And you couldn't wait for morning because…?"
"We wanted to find the sword of fire!" The rest of the missing children appeared behind Kai.
"Wonderful." Zane muttered under his breath, before taking the flashlight from him. "See that symbol there? That is the ancient symbol for water. And now if we turn it back on… and shine it on the parchment we've been using for the map…" Zane swiftly spread out the parchment, before turning the light on to shine on it. Immediately, the map of Ninjago spread out for all to see….only this time it showed them a specific old rundown dock at Stiix.
Nya peered curiously at the map, interest dancing in her eyes. "Cool. Looks like we have to go to that town you always tell us not to go anywhere near cause of the questionable people that live there."
Zane groaned as he wondered when his life ever made since….
~Couple Days Later~
"Do not look any one in the eye. And I mean that Kai." Zane kept a firm hand on Lloyd, his heart queasy at the sight of all of the hardened citizens of Stiix. His goal in life was to stay away from the seaside village at all costs, especially with the younger ones under his care. Who knew that following a map would lead them here?
Nya froze, her eyes darting to the water below the dock they were hovering around. "I can hear singing… its coming from below…."
"Nya! Don't! Wait for night. We can't take any chances here!" Zane hissed at her as he reached out and grabbed her before she could wander off by herself.
"Sorry Zane." Nya mumbled as she shrank back into him.
Zane tensed up as he watched a local walk past them. Cole glanced over at the local, before muttering to Zane softly. "Zane? Since we can't exactly trust anyone here doesn't that mean no one will care if we disappear under the dock for a bit? Besides that…I don't like how that guy was looking at Rocky." Cole reached up and gently touched the dragon on his shoulder.
All of them had dragons, minus Nya and Lloyd now. Rocky, Wisp, Shard, and Flames (Who is the newest member of their group) were perched on their respective master's shoulders, eyeing anyone that came even close to the group. Zane considered what he had said, and looked back to Nya…who was already gone.
Zane groaned as he ushered the others farther out on the dock. "One of these times all of us are going to run off like that. For now, let's just wait for her to show up."
….
Nya shivered as the coldwater from the sea lapped around her ankles. Underneath the dock was a sea cave, which was where the singing was coming from. Ignoring the way the water splashed around as she moved, she looked around the cave trying to locate the singing. Eventually, she spotted a large, ocean blue dragon curled near a stand that had what appeared to be a gold handheld fan sitting upon it. Moving closer, Nya realized that the singing was coming from the fan. Amazed, she reached out to touch it…the dragon snapped awake suddenly, rearing to its feet as it, no she, glared at her.
Nya swallowed hard as she took an instinctive step back. "Sorry…I didn't mean to disturb you. It's just that…the fan is singing." She wondered why she had mentioned that to the dragon. Surely it wouldn't care about that?
With a disbelieving snort, she leaned forward and sniffed the young girl, before nudging her closer to the fan. "I'm gonna take that as its ok for me to touch it." She reached out and touched the fan. Instantly, blinding light flooding the cave.
She blinked rapidly, before looking at where a small chest was in place of the fan. The water dragon had shrunk down to the size of her palm and was sitting on top of it, head cocked to the side. "Nice… I'm going to call you Brooke. Come on, the others are probably waiting for us." She picked up the chest and followed the path out of the cave that she followed to get in there in the first place.
~Back with Sensei~
Sensei rubbed his forehead as he pulled out his cell, dialing in a number quickly. "Misako? We have a problem. I'm going to the hidden sea cave to check to see if they've found the Golden Fan of Water." A pause as he listened to his sister-in-law. "Yes… I know that the last two are not really well known weapons and everyone only ever talks about the four…but I hide all six! The next one is the Golden Fan of Water. I have to go and catch up with them. Since Stiix is technically in the way, I should be able to catch up with them without any problems this time. Good bye Misako." He hung up the phone and left to traverse the two week journey on foot. Of course if they flew there like he suspected then they only took two days to get there.
~Back with the Others~
Zane placed a bowl of hearty beef stew in front of Nya, who was still rambling on about how the map led her to a gold fan. "Eat your soup Nya. It's good for you."
"Yes Zane." Nya picked her spoon up and scooped up a large bite. "But that is soo cool! And I bet this one is going to lead Lloyd to something neat too!"
Zane glanced at the newest map that they, well technically Nya, had found. The symbol on it was for energy and the map showed that it lead to the one place that no one went into. Hiroshi's Labryinth.
Oh well. They have dragons now. No way they're going to get lost….
A/N: Done! Hmm, yeah I decided that this is just going to be a series instead of one book. We're getting close to the end of this one… I'm thinking calling the next book What Really Happened in Ninjago the First Year. Should be very interesting.
Review!
