After school, William and Kyra walked together to the ice cream parlor in the park, just down the street from the school. They held hands, which sung in sync with each other. William had called his dad saying he was going out for a treat with a new friend and he said it was fine.

"There it is," William smiled, pointing towards the ice cream parlor.

"Come on, then," Kyra smiled, running towards it.

William chased after her, laughing as they ran. They arrived and started choosing their ice cream.

"I want….mint chip, no….Cookie dough….no," Kyra said, trying to choose. "I can't pick between the two."

William looked to her, smiling with an idea.

"We'll have a bowl of mint chip and a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough please," William said.

"You didn't have to do that," Kyra told William.

"I like both myself so it's perfectly fine," William replied, smiling.

"That will be seven ninty," the cashier said.

William pulled out a ten, handing it to the man. He handed him the change and Kyra the bowls of ice cream.

"Come on, let's go sit," Kyra said.

William took a bowl from her and they sat under a tree on the grass together. They placed the two bowls between them, talking and eating.

"So William," Kyra started, "why'd you ask about my parents earlier?"

William hesitated. How would he answer that?

"Um….." he thought. "I was just curious."

"Ok," Kyra said, "so you won't mind if I ask what you're parent's names are?"

"Not really, I guess," William sighed. "Lloyd is my father and my mother…"

He stopped, tears slowly trickling down his cheeks.

"My mother died in a plane crash," he said, crying softly. "Her name was Ali."

Kyra looked down at the ground. She didn't realize who this was. She remembered her friend, William from when her parents visited their friends, but she didn't know this was the same William.

"I didn't know," she sighed.

"It's OK," William hiccuped. "You had no way of knowing."

"No, I did know," Kyra said, "I just didn't realize he was you."

"What do you mean?" William asked, confused.

"You don't remember me, do you?" Kyra said.

"We haven't met until now," William replied.

"Yes we have, when we were really little," Kyra started, but stopped when people started screaming behind them.

"What's going on?" William cried out.

Then a green venomari came into view. The serpentine were attacking.

"The serpentine," Kyra cried, "I thought our parents took care of them!"

"Apparently not fully," William said.

He ran into the street, crying, "NINJAGO!"
He was then in a mini green tornado, taking out serpentine here and there. He stopped and saw a red tornado too. Kyra knew spinjitzu too. She stopped and ran to his side, a red ninja suit replaced her school clothing. She looked him in the eyes. William was also wearing a green ninja suit, mask on.

"You knew this whole time," William said, shocked.

"What, that I'm the master of fire," Kyra asked. "Yeah, I knew. I didn't know you were the master of energy though."

"Heh, looks like we're both learning something about each other," William chuckled.

Kyra's eyes widened as she quickly flipped over William and knocked out a another Serpentine.

"Thanks," William sluggishly said.

"No problem," Kyra replied.

Kyra and William continued to fight the evil snakes that were attacking in the park. Then William saw a white spinjitzu tornado, along with a blue and black one.

"William, you're here already," Sam said, coming close to William, stopping his spinjitzu.

"Yeah," William panted.

Sam, Jason and Brock joined up with William as the snakes started to retreat. William looked around the park, only to see one serpentine remaining, holding someone by the collar of their shirt. He ran to her, know who it was.

"Ninjago!" he cried.

He caught the serpentine in his tornado, sending him flying. He dropped the red ninja and retreated.

"William, did you find him?" Jason cried, running over to him with the others, pulling their masks down.

"It's the red ninja!" Brock cried with excitement.

"Did you say, "he"?" Kyra asked, looking at Jason.

"Um, Jason, this isn't a boy," William said.

"Wait, what?" Sam, Brock and Jason cried.

Kyra and William pulled down their masks and the others stumbled backwards.

"Kyra!" Brock cried out.

"Yeah, what?" she replied.

"She knew this whole time," Sam cried, "why didn't you say anything?"

"I didn't know you were the other ninja," she claimed.

"Let's head back to my place," William said. "Kyra should meet my father."

"Yeah, let's take Kyra to Sensei," Sam said.

"So, you're father's their Sensei?" Kyra asked William, as they started to leave the park.

"Yeah, it's weird like that," William chuckled.

Kyra chuckled too as they started their walk together, following the others.

Meanwhile, in Jamankai's sewer systems, the serpentine were walking towards their base. The army's leader entered a throne room, to see their master sitting on his throne.

"Master," the group's leader said.

"What is it, Slithera?" their master replied.

"The ninja were there," she said.

"How?" their master asked.

"We believe it was their kids, Master Skales," she said.

"Their kids, heh, cute," Skales laughed. "Return to headquarters, Slithera. Prepare the army for another attack."

"Yes master," Slithera said, running off.

Skales rose from his throne, slowly slithering away from it. He made his way to the dungeon, where he held three prisoners.

"Your kid's have become stronger, but they will be ours eventually," he told them. "Just you wait."

The two woman, in purple and peach, hugged each other, hoping for their kids to be safe. The man in red glared at Skales.

"You won't get away with this," he said. "They'll stop you and save us."

"They don't even know you're alive," Skales laughed. "They think you died in the crash. It's all over."

"A ninja never quits," the red man replied.

"Well maybe you should learn to," Skales said, leaving his prisoners alone.

"Do you think they'll be Ok?" the lady in peach asked.

"I'm sure they'll be fine, my dear Skylor," the red man told her.

"They do have Lloyd," the one in purple added.

"Ali's right, Skylor," the red man said.

"I hope you're right, Kai," Skylor told Kai. "I hope you're right."

Ok, I'm not writing the whole thing again so if you haven't, please read my authors note at the end of Chapter 25 of Secret Realm. It's very important.

Question: What was you're reaction when Skales went to see his prisoners, aka Kai, Ali and Skylor?
