Chapter Eleven: Oh... hi there!
~Drake's POV~
I blinked rapidly as I scanned the area, confusion settling deep inside of me. 'Yeah... I don't think this is the right island... shouldn't I have run into one of those creatures that swallow ships whole by now?' I swatted a large palm branch away, exasperation flooding me. I froze, blinking rapidly at the sight that met me. An elderly man was casually laying on a beach chair, holding up one of those things people use to work on their tans at a beach. 'I must be more lost than I originally thought.'
The man raised his head right then, glancing over at me in surprise. "Oh dear... what are you doing here son of Ray?"
'Wait... you know who I am?' I signed quickly, shock flooding through me.
"Of course." He stood up, his eyes, which appeared very familiar as if I've seen them somewhere before, peered into my own eyes. "My name is First. I was friends with your grandparents."
First? Wait... those eyes! They're the exact same as Lloyd's! 'You're the First Spinjitzu Master!' I signed hurriedly, shock slipping into my system.
"Well... yes." First shifted, gesturing to another beach chair that hadn't been there a second ago. "Please have a seat."
'Okay... you know, Lloyd has the exact same eyes as you.' I signed casually as I sank into the chair, staring at him even as I wondered if I was being a smidgen creepy with the way I was just staring at him.
"Is Lloyd a friend of yours?" First wrinkled his nose, confusion crowding into his eyes.
I froze, before exploding into action, my hands flying as I used them to shout in shock. 'You don't know your own grandson!?'
"I have a grandson!?" Oh boy... maybe I should give him a bit of a history lesson..?
~Nya's POV~
"Come on Nya! Just tell us already! We can help you if your being blackmailed..." Tox whined as she watched as Zane and Pixal collected the venom from the ginormous unconscious spider.
I sighed loudly, turning to give Jay my best puppy dog eyes. Jay appeared to falter for a few, before quickly shaking his head. "Nya...please. We're Ninjago's protectors... we need to know what this plan is."
I glared at him, before turning to the lovesick nindroids... who were discussing kid names. I quickly bit my tongue to keep myself from suggesting Cyrus Junior and Icelynne for their names. Somehow I highly doubt Juni and Icelynne would appreciate it if I was the one that named them. Pixal noticed my look, and quickly flashed a triumphant look towards Zane. "Nya? What would you suggest we use for any potential kids we might have in the future?"
Zane quickly whispered something to her, though I couldn't catch it. Scratching the top of my head, I pretended to think of names while really, I was debating telling them. Neuro groaned as he flung his hands in the air. "You already have two names on your mind... say just tell her already!"
Upon hearing that, Pixal blurted out something about Zane owing her, while I glared at the mind master. Turning to face them, I cleared my throat. "How about Cyrus Junior for a boy and Icelynne for a girl since you know Cyrus Borg is your father Pix, and you are the master of ice, Zane? You can call the boy Juni." There... I just named Juni and Icelynne.
"Thank you Nya." Zane and Pixal spoke in unison, though I noticed that Zane was glaring at her as if she did something wrong. Weird.
"We probably should find Drake before it gets much darker. With our dragons it should go much faster than if we take the boat." Cole spoke up, gesturing to the slowly darkening sky.
Murmurs of agreement rippled through the group, before Nya tossed back her head, snagging the vial of poison from Zane. "Nadahkan!" With a poof of orange smoke, the annoyed Djinn appeared out of thin air, glaring at her as he did so. Whipping her arm around, she splashed the venom on him, making him instantly too weak to do anything. "I wish that Nadahkan is trapped within the Teapot of Tyrahn once again!"
"Finally! I hated waiting around for you guys to do this!" Nadahkan yelled, before he disappeared into the teapot that Karlof was carefully holding.
"Now that that is done with... let's go track down my brother so that I can murder him." I cheerfully announced, before skipping off.
"Jay...your girlfriend is scary..." Should I be concerned that I'm taking that as a compliment?
~Drake's POV~
'... And that is how I came to be here!' I signed happily as I sipped at the tropical drink that First had given me.
"Fascinating! Especially since there was no prophesy." First commented as he turned the spit that he had skewered two fish on above the flames of the cooking fire.
Confusion immediately flooded me. 'Wait...what?'
"There was no prophesy. There never was one. I just wrote that so as to convince everyone that there was still hope even though if my younger brother ever decides to take over Ninjago again, without me there, there is no hope." First calmly explained what the so called prophesy really was.
I considered banging my head against a tree, when something suddenly occurred to me. 'Wait...younger brother? You're related to the Overlord?'
"Yes... his full name is Overlord Dark Master. I blame our parents for him turning evil." First shrugged, as if that made any sense.
I glanced at the sky, tilting my head to the side as I noted that it was getting pretty dark. 'I probably should leave so as to find the others. Before they get too worried.'
"I'm coming with you! I want to meet my grandson! He sounds amazing!" First blurted out.
'Okay... this should be interesting. Can I take a picture of his face when you introduce yourself to him?' I signed happily, already imagining how his face will look when we show up together.
"Sure thing. Here's a camera." First pulled a camera out of thin air, handing it over to me.
A/N: Done! You loves this depiction of the First Spinjitzu Master? I know that I love it! He wants to meet his grandson that accidently made a fake prophesy come true now though... until next time you all are allowed to imagine how well that meeting goes.
Reviews:
HeyVen: I know the feeling... don't worry. Still a little ways away from that happening. Um... update schedule? What's that? Kidding... I know what that is... I just don't really keep one. I have several stories and I only work on them Tuesday through Thursday. I have other stories that I work on the other days. Fimfiction is on Friday and my actual original stories with original characters and places on Saturday. Sunday is my day off and Monday is my busy day so that one is more like more times than not my day off.
CopperHillsGrizzly2010: Correct! And your the only one that bothered with guessing what that was from... Oh well, have a dozen virtual cookies.
grungekitty: Nah... he's fine. The First Spinjitzu Master isn't gonna hurt him.
phetiamwantip: Thank you! I hope you enjoyed this one as well!
