Before we begin, I just want to let you know that I'm just going to pause with my Ninjago fanfics for a bit (except the oneshots) so i can work a bit more with my True to Your Heart series, but I'll get to it asap. Also, please review my Rango fanfics (but read the warnings first before you decide to do so).

*Uncle (sequel to Big Surprise)*

"Do you really think we should tell them now?" Alura asked her husband as they slithered over to the council room where Pythor and the Generals have their meetings. "It just feels so soon."

"We're going to have to tell them sooner or later, dear," Fangtom answered with a reassuring smile. "Your brother was getting worried about you, so telling him these great news will assure him that everything's fine. Besides, I'm dying to see his reaction when he finds out that he's going to be an uncle." Alura smiled in reply.

"I guess you're right," she sighed. "I shouldn't leave Skales hanging like this. How do you think he'll take it?"

"I'm sure he'll be thrilled," he answered before they opened the door and entered the room. Pythor and the other Generals looked up from their work to see the couple entering. They haven't noticed the bulge on Alura's stomach because of her bathrobe.

"Alura," Pythor said to her with an arched eyebrow, "why are you slithering around in your bathrobe?"

"Are you alright, sis?" he asked, slithering up to her and placing his hand on her forehead. "Are you sick? Do you need anything? Tea or—"

"I'm fine, Skales," she answered with a laugh. "In fact, I feel wonderful."

"Are you sure?" the male Hypnobrai asked. "I mean, you haven't been yourself lately."

"Oh, I've been have a little bun in the oven." Acidicus, Skalidor, and Pythor's eyes went wide with surprise, realizing what she's really talking about.

"Well, yes," Skales replied. "We all know you're good at baking, but that doesn't explain what's going on."

"Uh, Skales," Pythor stated, "I'm afraid that's not what she's talking about."

"Yeah, she's expecting," Acidicus stated.

"There's a delivery truck coming?" asked Skales. "Alura, that's not a good idea; if anyone—"

"Not that kind of expecting," Skalidor interrupted with a groan.

"Then what is she talki—Wait a minute." Skales slowly turned to his sister and brother-in-law with wide eyes. "Fangtom…Alura…you…"

"That's right, old chum," Fangtom answered, wrapping a loving arm around Alura with a smile. "You're going to be an uncle."

"Congratulations!" Pythor replied, going up to them and hugging Alura. "Oh, Alura, I am so happy for you! I can't wait to see them! You are so lucky, Skales!" No answer. "Skales?"

"He's on the floor," Skalidor explained. Pythor turned and saw that Skales has fainted.

"I think I better get the smelling salt," Acidicus said.

"See, Alura?" Fangtom said to his wife. "I told ya he'd be thrilled. He was so speechless; he fainted."

*First Step (Starring my OCs Boanya and Vipera)*

"Alright, Vipie," Boanya said to her little sister. "Now the first step to a levitation spell is to think. Imagine the object that you want to levitate floating in mid-air. Think you can do that?"

"I think so," the younger Anacondrai answered with a smile.

"Okay," her older sister replied before pointing at the Hypnobrai Staff. "Let's practice with the Hypnobrai Staff." Vipera then closed her eyes and began to concentrate. Just then, Skales came into the room.

"Boanya? Vipie, have either of you seen my—" He stopped when he spotted the Staff on the table. "Oh, there it is." He then slithered over to get it.

"Skales, no!" But Boanya was too late. Skales took the staff and started floating upward with it due to Vipera's spell.

"Whoa-ooh!" he cried as he held onto his floating Staff. "What's going on?! Someone get me down!"

"Vipie, stop your spell!" Boanya cried. Opening her eyes and see what's happening, Vipie stopped her spell, and Skales and the Staff fell back down to the ground, the Staff hitting the Hypnobrai on the head.

"Skales," Boanya cried, slithering over and bending down to gently pick his head up and place it on her lap. "Are you alright?" Skales slowly opened his eyes and smiled up at her slowly.

"I think so," he answered, "but I might have bumped my head."

"Oh, poor baby," she purred before kissing him on the bumped head, making him blush indigo. As she did, Pythor came in.

"Skales, have you found your—Oh!"

"Pythor!" Boanya cried, lifting her head up with surprise. Skales face became pale as his superior looked down at the two of them with wide eyes.

"Hi, big brother," Vipera said. "Skales bumped his head, so Boanya kissed it to make it feel better."

"I see," Pythor replied with a nod. "Well, it's good to see that my sisters are looking out for my second-in-command. So I will be seeing you at the council meeting later, Skales?"

"Yes, sir," he answered quickly.

"Very good," the Anacondrai replied before slithering off. "Carry on."

*Like Old Times (after Child's Play)*

Pythor stayed invisible so as to watch the now grown up Lloyd as he trains on the deck of the Destiny's Bounty. Although he wanted to help his little brother whenever he gets into trouble, he knows that Lloyd has to do this on his own, especially since he's a teenager now and not a little boy anymore.

Pythor sighed as he recalled the good old days, back when Lloyd was just a preteen. When he first met Lloyd, he thought he would be easy to fool into gaining his trust and steal the map of the other Serpentine Tombs. But he started to become fond of the child as they started to have fun together. And back at the Tomb, when Lloyd hugged him and called him the best, Pythor felt in his heart that it's no longer revenge on the humans he wanted but someone to consider a family. And Lloyd is that family.

Since the two of them came to live with the ninja, Pythor has done his best to ensure that no harm will come to his new family. He felt as though he had let Lloyd down when Skales and the Generals kidnapped him, but he kept going with hopes that he'll save him. And they have gotten Lloyd back with Garmadon's help, only learning later on that Lloyd's the destined Green Ninja. Since then, Pythor has been doing all he can to help Lloyd make his father proud, although it is prophesized that his son will defeat him…

"HI-YAA!"

BAM! Pythor was snapped out of his daydreams when Lloyd ninja-kicked him in the face, forcing him to become visible again as he fell back onto the floor.

"Pythor!" Lloyd cried, rushing over to his side. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry! I didn't—" Pythor just laughed it off.

"Don't worry about it, Lloyd," he answered. "I'm alright…although I wouldn't mind helping the Great Green Ninja with his training. Truth be told, Skales isn't the only one who knows Fang Kwan Do." Lloyd smiled in reply.

"I definitely would like that idea."
