:Chapter 2:

Reveal

Cole Stiffened, slightly in fear, but mostly in case he felt like he needed to jump out to protect someone. That was useless though, as Kai, Zane and Jay, Heck, even Nya could hold their own quite well. But as leader, he felt a need to be protective of his friends.

Cole cursed the unluckiness of the situation, as the ninja had no weapons, and Nya's Samurai suit was back where they had disappeared from.. The Golden weapons were gone, and the elemental swords lost their power for some reason a few weeks earlier, most likely from their great usage in the battle against the overlord.. He Gritted his teeth. He didn't mind fist to fist combat…..in this case, fist to Claw, if it was needed.

The three dragon-like creatures stood a good 3, the tallest one 3 and a half, feet over him. Their arms were insanely muscular, and he realized they could stand on either four legs or two legs. Their tails were strange, with four large, slightly bent, silver claws protruding out, like the claws in the claw-games at amusement parks. But, as he had thought before, they stood very tall.

He wondered how Nya felt, being the shortest of the group.

He held his stare with the lead dragon, the Black, Brown and silver dappled one who had just spoken to him. Something about her seemed….familiar. Eerily familiar to Cole. Maybe it was the eyes…

For what seemed like years, Cole finally spoke stiffly.

"Terra Kingdom? What…" Cole shook his head to change his words. "I mean…who are you?" He took a glance at Kai, who was stiff and slightly angry looking, and Jay, who had took place in front of Nya, as expected.

The tallest Dragon of the group, a very intimidating and seemingly battle scarred, stepped forward. Muscles rippled beneath dark brown and Dark Red striped scales, black marking dancing across her face. Her Golden-orange eyes were as cold as Ice, and her teeth were slightly bared. He knew it was a female by the Silky, yet strict voice that came from her jaws.

"Who we are is not important now. We came to retrieve you, so hurry up and come with us!" She ordered harshly, making Cole stiffen even more then he previously had.

"Come with you? We're not going to follow you! We hardly know you." Jay replied, Nya staring from behind him, with a hint of anger. Kai added in

"Take us back to Ninjago! Why are we here?"

The smallest of the three dragons, padded closer as the Silver, brown and black dappled one ushered the Brown and Red striped dragon to calm down. This dragon was much thinner than the other two, and her colorings were a Bright Silver with Brown Claws, a Brown striped tail, black ears, and Bright Emerald eyes. Cole took a step back, narrowing his eyes. This dragon seemed Familiar too! Where had he seen them? No…It was impossible that he had met them. He cleared his mind.

"Give us answers! Where are you trying to take us?"

She just sighed with an annoyed, but flawless voice.

"Don't be stupid. When did we say anything about taking your friends? We meant you, not them." She pointed her tail towards Cole. Zane and Kai stepped next to Cole as soon as she let those words slip out of her mouth. Kai narrowed his eyes.

"He's not going anywhere without us!" Zane nodded in agreement. The first dragon left the side of the Tallest one, and stood back in front of the ninja. She sighed and spoke, her Emerald eyes bright.

"Please. You must follow us. It does not matter, Sythia, if we bring the others as well. As long as he comes." She spoke towards the strict sounding, tall dragon, apparently named Sythia, who just bristled in reply to the leader's words. She turned her focus back to Cole and his friends, and spoke again.

"I am Ahna, this is Felicity." She pointed to the smaller dragon, who tapped her claws impatiently, then continued "It is important that you come with us. We promise you no harm. Besides, you know not of this territory. It is best you come with us, to our main City."

Cole was beginning to loosen up, but still kept his guard. He knew that this Ahna, was his favorite of the three creatures, but he had been through too much to just trust someone who offered you anything that you had no idea about. He was slightly tempted to say yes, to find out where the hell they were, but he stood tall next to Kai and Zane.

"And what if we refuse to come with you?" Jay called out, and Cole knew the testing voice in the lightning Ninja. He nodded and repeated "Yeah. What if we refuse?"

Cole stayed on his toes, knowing that something was going to happen. Ahna just sighed in response, and turned to Sythia, nodding her Black and brown dappled head. Sythia rolled her eyes with impatience, and in a swift movement, swooped her tail behind the Earth Ninja, the claws on her tail tightening. Cole yelped, before being lifted into the air. He thrashed slightly, the strong grip not allowing any means of escape.

Nya gasped and Kai ran foreword, anger radiating off of the fire ninja's body.

"Let him go!" He ordered, racing towards Sythia, who held Cole tight. But, before he could reach her to attack, the dragon named Felicity stood in front, and spun around, whipping Kai in the stomach with her tail. Kai flew back, hitting the Bristled, grassy ground with a thud. Nya rushed over to him, and Jay and Zane got into a fighting stance.

"Enough! You four may come with us, you may not, it is up to you. But he must come with us!" Ahna boomed, making the ninja pause. Kai got up quickly, clenching his fist.

Cole struggled with difficulty. He glared at Ahna and Felicity, and tried to turn around to glare at his captor, who was holding him in front of her like an award of some sort. He called out to his friends, his voice ragged by the tightness of the grip of the claws that curled around him.

"No! Don't listen to them! Find a way back, don't worry about me! It's probably a trap!"

Kai, who had gotten up and was now standing stiff next to his friends, looked at Zane and Jay, who all nodded. He turned to the dragons and Cole, his eyes angry. He spoke to Cole "Sorry Bro. But we're not letting them take you anywhere without us. We're in this together, Trap or not."

Jay nodded, hugging Nya, and Zane called "We're not leaving you. We have no choice but to follow, we can't fight without our weapons, and we can't risk you getting hurt."

Kai turned angrily to Ahna, crossing his arms.

"Lead the way, You big lizards." This earned a hiss from Sythia, who began to turn and pad away. Cole, who was still trapped, sighed as Kai, Zane, Jay and Nya walked behind them, Ahna and Felicity flanking next to them. He grumbled "Nice little party we're having. Do drag everyone you meet around with your tail?"

Sythia narrowed her eyes, as Cole could tell from the view that he had, craning his neck to interrogate his captor. To piss her off, at least. She snapped "You're lucky you're important to Ahna, and the kingdom. If you weren't, I would have cut your neck right open…"

Cole gritted his teeth and continued the questions.

"Mind letting me go?"

Sythia just laughed, startling Cole. Her laugh was hideous, sharp and loud, like nails on a chalkboard. He wondered if all of the dragons laughed like this. She then turned to look at him, her Orange eyes like chips of ice.

"Please. You asked what would happen if you refused! This is what happened. I don't plan to let you go until we reach the city. And because we can't carry 4 extra humans on our back, we have a long walk!" She turned back and continued. Cole just huffed and kicked out a bit. He couldn't stand being in this situation, in front of the others, who were trailing angrily next to Ahna and Felicity.

Cole met the eyes of Ahna again. He got that familiar feeling again, and narrowed his eyes. Ahna was staring at him with eyes, deep and sparkling, like she was remembering something. Cole spoke to her.

"I don't appreciate this kidnapping…Why did you bring us here?" Cole scowled at Felicity as she annoyingly shoved Zane foreword, who was lagging back to examine the land that they were walking on. Ahna was silent for a moment, before shaking her head, as though to clear her mind.

She answered Cole, her voice bright and excited.

"It was time to bring you here. You are special to us in more ways than you think…Cole."

Cole widened his eyes and breathed.

"H-How do you know my name?"

He noticed the surprised looks on his friends face as she spoke his name. He swore he never told these creatures who he or any of his friends were. So how could they possibly know?

Ahna just laughed slightly. She looked forward past Cole, and he noticed Jay, Nya, Kai and Zane widen their eyes. He could tell, by the surprised looks, that they were probably at that "City" that Ahna was talking about. He struggled to Crane his head to look as well, but just sighed angrily.

"Hey Lizard Faces! I can't see crap, when you're holding me captive like this!" He spat the insult, just to piss these dragon-creatures off.

His calls were ignored as the large group entered into what Cole presumed was a tunnel. A bright light gleamed from the end of the other side of the tunnel, he knew this because the 10 second darkness that engulfed the group began to become brighter the farther they walked. Cole held his breath. What was this place?

Cole immodestly stiffened at what approached them after they left the other end of the Tunnel, that had just closed behind him. He took a slight chance to observe the landscape…Stone...Stone everywhere! Large boulders and caves dotted the rocky city, tall Pillars that were most likely Guard posts, littered the city as well.

What astonished Cole was the Enormous castle like structure that stood large and regal, even though it was obviously at least 3 miles away. He stared in wonder, but was paused as a large amount of creatures came closer, their tails high and eyes gleaming. They were no doubt part of the same land that Ahna, Felicity and Sythia came from.

The Group was met with more dragon-like creatures, over 20 of them at least. Cole kept his friends in sight, and tried vainly to struggle out of the grip. It was obviously an ambush. Perhaps they were going to try and eat him and his friends! Cole shuddered slightly at the thought, and raised his voice above the commotion that was threatening to smother him and his friends.

"Hey! We came here with you, now let me go!" He glared at all the now quiet Dragons, and took a sharp breath in surprise as Sythia dropped him, and the tightness eased as he fell to the ground. He landed shakily on his feet, and Nya and Kai rushed over to help support the Earth ninja, who took deep breaths. He rubbed his sore arms, and glared again.

"I won't ask again. Why are we here? What's so special about me?"

Ahna sighed and announced to the gathering crowd "Disperse. We need space. News will be announced soon!" Cole was shocked how all the dragons bowed and left the scene. Was this dragon their leader?

Before he could ask, Ahna said to him "Sythia, you can return to your duties. Felicity and I shall escort our guests to the Castle."

Sythia nodded sourly, rolling her fiery eyes, and flexing her claws, before lifting her shredded wings, and flapping away.

"Pshh. Guests. More like prisoners!" Jay muttered to Nya, that earned him a heated look from Felicity. Ahna shook her head.

"I Promise you are not prisoners. Sythia is intimidating, that's why I sent her away for now. I know this must be strange to you…if we go to the castle, I give you my word that we'll explain everything." She turned to Cole with a meaningful look and said again, but with more feeling "Everything."

Cole was slow to trust the creatures that just held him in a death grip. He turned to his team. Zane shook his head.

"Her vocal patterns are sincere. I say we follow them. We can't possibly escape now." Cole begrudgingly nodded. It was true. There was no escape, so the only choice they had was to follow.

Jay looked unsure, and Kai was scowling as though his foot had just been cut off. But they knew it was true, no matter how much they disliked it. Nya looked up for it, as she was more trusting then the guys.

Nya added "Lead the way!"

Ahna smiled brightly, and Felicity rolled her eyes, but hid a small smile as well. They turned and began to trot over in the direction of the castle. Cole followed in defeat; Jay and Nya close behind, followed by Kai and Zane. Kai was fuming; probably ashamed of being led somewhere he had no knowledge of. Cole spoke quietly to him.

"I hope they're right when they say they'll tell us everything." Kai nodded in response. He then replied back quietly.

"I know what you mean. All these secrets are driving me insane!"

The walk was not long, about 45 minutes at the pace they were walking. The soreness of the claws had worn off a bit, and Cole was relieved to be free from them. He still wondered why these dragons seemed so familiar. It was mainly the eyes and their voices that set the Earth Ninja into a confused state.

The inside of the castle was admit ably incredible, polished Stone works everywhere. The Staircase and interior center of the brightly lit hall was remarkably Ninjago-like. He wondered why the architecture was so alike to the ones he'd seen on Ninjago.

Ahna noticed his stare and walked further, into a room that reminded Cole spot on like a Dining room.

"Please. Sit. You must be hungry. We can talk here." Ahna took a seat, Felicity next to her. Cole stood still, before sitting in a seat as far away from them as possible. His friends sat with him. He was not tempted to eat anything they offered, but was desperate to know why they were here, and why he seemed so important to them.

Jay's stomach growled, and he blushed brightly. Felicity giggled and rolled her eyes. Cole had never heard Felicity laugh.

Ahna settled into her seat and smiled "Before we speak, I want to make you feel as comfortable as you can…" She suddenly gleamed bright amber. With wide eyes, Cole watched as the tall dragon shrunk, and her muscular arms slimmed out, her body becoming human shaped. The light cleared, and there sat a fair skinned, Emerald eyed, Black haired woman, who looked human in every way. An image flashed in Cole's mind, but disappeared in a split second.

This wasn't the thing that surprised the rest of his friends the most. What had them shocked and slightly afraid was when Felicity transformed as well. She also turned human, but to Jay, Kai, Nya and Zane, Her Green eyes, Wavy, long, Black hair and slightly bushy eyebrows, made them see double of the Wide eyed Earth ninja that stood stiff next to them.

"I-It's like….you two look exactly alike!" Jay gasped, his fingers pointed at Cole and Felicity. Kai blinked several times, before tipping his head in utter confusion.

"Will someone EXPLAIN what's going on?!" Cole Ordered, his shock turning into confusion.

Ahna sighed and smiled longingly at Cole.

"I am Ahna, Queen of The Terra Kingdom. This is my daughter, Felicity..." She paused for a second. Then continued.

"The reason you two look so alike….is because you are. Cole Felicity is your sister…And I…am your mother." She finally spoke, her voice echoing through the now silent dining room…
