Chapter 3

Thump. Lucas just bumped his head on a beam that was above his bed. He just woke up from a nightmare that showed the ninja's captured by Garmadon and something happened to them. He shakes his head reminding himself it was only a dream. He rubs his head and could feel a bump starting to swell. Morning was breaking through the curtains in the room he shares with his brothers. He looks around the room and noticed that Kai, Cole, Jay, and Zane weren't in their bunks. Lucas remembers that Kai said they'll be back before sunrise, but didn't come back when he and Lloyd went to bed.

"Back before sunrise. Yeah right." he says to himself in his mind, and jumps off the top bunk he shares with Lloyd.

Lucas lands quietly so he wouldn't disturb Lloyd. He turns around and smiles to see his cousin sleeping peacefully, but noticed the clock beside his bed ticking nine o'clock. Lucas thought it was odd. His father never lets him or the others sleep after eight. He shrugged at it and went to his morning routine. He quickly takes a shower, brush his teeth, change into his ninja outfit, and left the room quietly.

As he walks through the ship to the deck, it was silent as a ghost town. Once he reached the deck, he didn't anyone anywhere. He would see Zane meditating on the ship's bow. Or Jay tinkering with his inventions. Or Cole and Kai either arguing or practicing fighting. He walks up to the bridge and didn't see Nya or his father too. He searched every room on the ship, but no-one was present.

He went to the kitchen and didn't see Zane there either. Since he firgured Lloyd would be up soon, and everyone wouldn't be in danger, since they are the ninja's, would be home soon, he decides to make them a big breakfast for them all. He walks to the fridge and grabs ingredients to make pancakes for them. Since he's the new member on the ship, he has to take part on caring for his family, and the ship. And lessons from Zane, he became a good chef on the ship; but everyone still like Zane's cooking better and it didn't hurt his feeling since he's enjoys it too. After he mixed the batter and cooked them, he walks into the dining room and see's Lloyd sitting at the table. He places the plate on the table and immediately Lloyd begins to scarf down the pancakes. Lucas chuckles for his hungry cousin and could tell he took a shower in haste to have breakfast, as water was dripping down his head.

With one hand, he gathers all of the water in Lloyd's hair and whiskes it away to the area that opens to the training grounds; leaving the kids hair in a curtain of dried blonde hair. Lloyd laughs at his cousin's elemental power and feels his now dried hair. Then he looked at Lucas with curious face.

"Has uncle or the others return yet?" he asks.

"No." said Lucas, shaking his head, "I'm a bit concern, but I know they're safe. After all we are ninja's."

Lucas didn't mentioned his nightmare to Lloyd, he didn't to frightened or scare the kid on what could have happen, and started to eat his breakfast. Just then, they snapped to attention as they heard something was soaring above their heads. They looked out at the deck to see Nya's exo-suit land with the ninja's jumping off and Jay at the controls. Lucas and Lloyd smiled to their brother's back, but Lucas's smile disappears to see it was just them without Kai's sister, and his father. Lucas looked at them with curiousity as they didn't take off the sunglasses they were wearing and sat down near him and Lloyd.

"So who broke in last night?" Lloyd asked curiously to know the details.

"It was some serpentines, but we took care of them." Kai replied.

The ninja begin to eat the pancakes like hungry wolves. Lucas began to sense something was odd about them, but needed more information about his father and Nya.

"So what happened with you guys last night?" he asks Kai.

"Well it was late when we finished the mission." Kai begins to explain, "So we decided to go to Jay's parents place and crash for the night."

"And my father and your sister?"

"They stayed behind to find parts for the tank. Good thing Jay was born in a junkyard, right?"

The ninja kept eating the food ravenously, and bits of foods were flying in all directions. Lucas dodges to the side as a pancake whizzed by his head and watch it slide down to the floor. He looks up at Kai, who was busy eating, and noticed something was different about him. He looked carefully and noticed he no longer had his amber eyes; but they were green. He thought something was up and decided to play along.

"Alright then, I'll set a course to the junkyard." he says, stands up and walks to the bridge, "Come on Lloyd."

Lloyd follows behind him as the two ninja's walked up to the bridge. As they walked in, Lloyd pushes a button, and they engines whine to life and lift the ship off the water. Lucas steers the wheel to the direction of Jay's parents junkyard, and fly in top speed. As Lucas steered the ship, he looked at Lloyd, who was staring at the map and was silent.

"Lloyd, have you noticed anything odd about our brother's?" Lucas asks to break the silence.

"That they are eating like it's Zane's cooking and not yours." Lloyd answered if he got the question right.

"Besides that. It's the sunglasses. They are hiding something, but I can't put my finger on it."

"I'm not quite following you." Lloyd says confused, "What are you trying to say?"

"I'm saying that something must have happened to them last night at the museum, but I want to know the truth." Lucas exclaims, "And I may know a way to do that."

Lloyd looks at him with curiousity. Wondering what he plans to do with his brother's.
