Pearl started flying down towards the ground, and landed in a forest area. The trees were pretty tall so Pearl was hidden pretty well under them. Pearl moved forward, so that the Bounty could find a place to land. Then the dragon walked towards a certain place that had a meduim-sized lake with a statute in the middle of it of a bird flying upward. There was also a mountain beyond the lake covered in a thick gathering of trees as you climbed up. The Ninja Crew in the Bounty came outside after landing and met up with Pearl and the other ninja that jumped off her back.

"So Raven, uh, isthis your home?" Jay asked, which made Flare walk up to Jay and flicked him on the forehead with her hand.

"This isn't her home home fool, it's underground," Flare said.

"Oh yeah. Raven, your dad is Serpentine so he probably would feel more comfortable underground," Nya said.

Raven smiled and nodded, "Oh yes. My dad prefers to live underground... it's a snake thing."

Then she turned and walked towards the edge of the lake. With her water staff in hand, she surfed across the water to the bird statue, which was about her height. Raven stood in front of the statue, standing on the water as she touched the bird's beak, which made it glow golden. Then the water began to ripple, and the lake began to part open to reveal a stairway that led downward.

"Whoa." -Kai

"That's cool." -Jay

"Wow." -Cole

"Interesting." -Zane

Then Flare walked towards the stairs and turned towards the others.

"Well if your done gawking, let's get moving," Flare said.

"Hold on Flare," Auria said and continued, "The Bounty must be hidden so that our enemies will not try to infiltrate the Bounty or this place in pursuit of us."

Then Christa suggested, "Perhaps Pearl can lead the Bounty up the mountain. It's safer up there and more concealed."

Auria nodded and said, "Yes, and there is another way to enter underground from there as well."

"Then we will follow through with that plan. Jay, Nya, board the Bounty and follow Pearl up the mountain. The rest of us will enter through this underground passage," Sensei Wu said.

Jay stretched out his arms and said, "No problem Sensei. We're on it. Right Nya?"

Nay turned to Jay and nodded, "Yeah, let's go."

Jay thought, 'Yes! Some alone time with Nya~ Thank yoouu Auria, Christa, and Sensei.'

Nya thought, 'I'll finally have some alone time with Jay... That'll be nice. Especially since he's not a vampire...-sign-'

As Nya and Jay flew in the Bounty towards the mountain top following after Pearl, the others began to follow Raven underground.

There was a long, dark hallway with dim, round lights on the sides of the walls. The lake area that opened closed up after everyone was descending down the stairs. Raven led the way, followed by Flare, Lloyd, Kai, Auria, Christa, Cole, Sensei Wu, Garmadon, Misako, Dr. Julien, and Zane.

After crossing the dark hallway, Raven opened up a door to another area that was fairly large and rectangular. It had one road with steel gates at the sides that led across to another doorway that had blue-flame lights at the sides of it. Also, there was no floor besides the road, which made it a dark drop, and the cavern walls had gems in them that gleamed with an assortment of colors like blue, purple, green, red, yellow, and orange. One of the gems radiated a light that reflected off it to the other gems to make them glow.

"It's beautiful. The gems are in perfect correlation, they reflect so nicely," Misako said in admiration, as she looked around the room at the glowing stone crystals.

"Oh yes, this room was acually made by Raven's father. He dug threw here and planted the crystals in the walls so that they would shine. It was a way to welcome visitors and other Viporeons," Auria said.

"I wish Nya could have seen this," Kai said, and Christa replied,

"Oh, this is just the beginning."

As they finally made it across the room to the next doorway, Raven said, "We're almost there, one more room to cross."

After Raven opened the second door, there was a room that had blue fire in the four corners of it, in hanging lamps. The room was pretty small and dark, besides the gems that were placed in the ceiling and on the walls. Once everyone was in front of the double doors, Raven turned to the them with a smile and said,

"Well, here we are. Eh hem, introducing the underground city and kingdom of the Viporeons and the Black Mambian. The city of water and greatness..."

Raven slowly pushed opened the double doors, as light flooded the room and finished her sentence,

"The Kingdom of Water, Fountain Falls."

Everyone slowly stepped out of the room onto a ledge that was long enough for everyone to stand side by side on. The majority gasped in amazement while the remainders' jaws dropped, as they took in the view:

There was a large, white stoned, cylinder-shaped castle with five thinner and smaller towers of turquoise, light grey, lavender, light orange, and yellow around it. This large castle was in the center of the extremely large cavern, that almost reached the ceiling, unlike any other building that only made it close to half way up. The castle had water that poured down off of each of the five towers that were clasped around it. (Just know that one floor/story is doubled it's size for the castle.) There were other buildings all around the area near or far from the castle that were white, light blue, blue, dark blue, brown, and even green. The castle water that flowed down to the floor from the tops of the towers was caught by moats only around the five towers, but never over-filled.

Around the perimeter of the city was an area that was filled with water that glimmered and shined. The ceiling was fill of gems that glowed, especially a few large, pale-yellow gems that glowed the brightest and lit up the whole cavern. There were also three passages that led out of the cavern: the one where the Ninja Crew were on, the opposite wall, and on the left side of where the Ninja Crew came from. There was also a large entrance opposite side of where the Ninja crew was on ground level that led to another area that looked as though it was covered by an underground forest. There was also medium-sized birds that flew around with long golden-colored beak, white and light blue feathers, with purple tails and golden-colored talons. It was awesome.

As the Ninja Crew were still in awe, Raven looked down at the water slide that led from the ledge they were on, to the water below. It was formed from rock and had water that flowed down from it.

Then she said, to the Ninja Crew, "Let's slide down, it'll be easier to get down that way."

Raven was the first to slide down into the water with a splash. Flare, Auria, and Christa went down at the same time since the slide was pretty wide. The Ninja Crew followed and landed right into the water, not without screaming of course.

"Woo! Man that was fun." -Cole

"Good thing Jay didn't come this way. I don't think he brought extra underwear." -Kai

"This water is very cool and refreshing." -Zane

"Yes, the water here feels different, like if it's lighter and calming." -Misako

"It feels great." -Garmadon

"Yes, quite relaxing." -Sensei Wu

"It's wondrous how the water gleams and glitters all around. It must reflect the gems very well." -Dr. Julien

They swam over towards where Raven and the kunoichi were, on the outer boarder of the land.

As everyone pulled themselves up on the boarder, a dragon's roar was heard in the sky. Pearl landed next to Raven, and lowered her body down. Jay and Nya were on Pearl's back, and they jumped off next to Raven.

"Whoa, this place is amazing. It's so beautiful, Raven," Nya said, as she looked up at the castle and twirled once to look at the rest of the cavern.

"So this is where you live, Raven. It's amazing! Even cooler than the other places-"

Jay cut off when he saw the other three princesses looking at him: Flare looked at him with an annoyance, Christa put her hands on her hips, and Auria just looked at Jay with a raised eyebrow. Jay gulped, and then he said,

"Well, um, what I mean is, uh, you know, your places were awesome too, but uh-" Jay was cut off by Nya,

"What he's trying to say is, each of your kingdoms has such distinct and unique characteristics, that it makes each of them special in their own way."

The princesses relaxed, and Jay signed and whispered to Nya,

"Thanks for the save."

Nya turned to Jay with a smile and whispered back, "Don't sweat it Jay, I'll always back you up."

Nya gave Jay a kiss on the cheek, which made Jay blush and smile.

Then the others came over to them.

"Man, this place is pret-ty big. Where do we go first?" Kai asked.

Raven answered, "First I have to see my father alone, and then you can all meet him afterward."

The Ninja Crew agreed, as they continued to follow Raven up to the castle.

As everyone made it close to the castle, Raven told them to stay outside and wait for her there. They once again agreed and stood where they were: in front and a little further away from the main castle doors stood a fountain with water shooting up from the center down to the area just below it. The Ninja Crew stood and rested beside this fountain, and the benches that were close by.

Within the castle, on the second floor balcony, stood a man overlooking some papers he was given not too long ago. He had been trying many experiments with chemical components and minerals, but he couldn't find the reaction he was searching for. In his research papers, he was getting closer to what he was searching for, but there was something missing. He tried to figure it out, but his mind was on other things...

'Where is she? My dear child... I hope she comes homesoon.' The man thought.

Then he walked back within the room from the balcony. The room was pretty large with a white, elongated table near the center with many black chairs around it. It was like a conference room. There were projections pushed along the walls of the room and white boards around the room as well. He placed the papers within a yellow folder and closed it. He signed and then he stood thinking for a moment. Then he heard footsteps walking towards him. He was about to turn when he froze up, as he heard a sweet, gentle, and familiar voice say,

"Daddy?"

The man turned towards the voice and saw a young lady standing before him, with black hair and dark blue ninja attire with a purple scarf on that her mother gave her. She held a long, platinum-colored staff that was hooked slanted on her back. She froze in her step when the man, her father, turned and looked at her. He had black, spiked-up hair with some hair that stood like bangs on his face and especially near the sides of head, and his eyes glowed blue. His skin was slightly grey, and he wore a black, long-sleeved shirt with a blue and silver sash around his left shoulder to his right side. His pants were black, with a blue strip on each edge of the legs, and his shoes were also black. He had black gloves on, with white stripes near the wrist. He looked at the young lady, Raven, with his eyes widened. They both stood looking into each others' eyes. Then, Raven took a step forward and repeated,

"Daddy..."

"Raven..." Her father said.

Then both of them started walking towards one another, and then Raven, with a smile forming on her face, started running towards her dad, as he opened his arms wide with a smile slowly growing on his face. Raven ran right into her father's arms, and he caught her before she ended up knocking both of them on the floor.

"Oh daddy! I'm so glad to see you! I'm so sorry for leaving," Raven said, and then she started to cry.

Her father smiled widely and held onto Raven tightly, as one by one, tears rolled down his cheeks. He said,

"Raven, I'm ssso happy to sssee you again. I forgive you, and..."

He pulled back a little and lifted Raven's chin, so that she could look into his eyes.

Then he said, "I'm sorry too, for provoking you to leave, and for not comforting you like I should have done after what happened to your mother."

Raven smiled at her father and sniffled.

"I forgive you dad," she said, as her father smiled back, and they both hugged.

Outside, the Ninja Crew were waiting for Raven's return.

"What do you think her father looks like?" Cole asked, as he tossed some stones across the fountain.

"Don't know, but he more or less would look like a snake or something," Kai said, as he tossed the next stone.

Then Jay picked up a stone and asked, "You think he has a tail?"

The other guys looked at Jay, as he threw the next stone.

"Perhaps he may have a tail. He is the only one of his kind, besides Raven," Zane said, as he tossed a stone too.

"We'll see when we meet him," Lloyd said, as he tossed another stone across the fountain.

"Nervous huh?" Kai asked as he nudged Lloyd on the shoulder, which made the Golden ninja look at him in annoyance, with an obvious blush.

"Don't worry Lloyd. If anything, we'll put a good word in for ya," Jay said, as he tried to figure out how Lloyd made the stone skip across the fountain.

"Yeah, and besides, your the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master, and she's the Princess of Fountain Falls. I think that's a fair match," Cole said.

"Of course, that depends on Raven's father. He may not care for status as much as personality," Zane said.

"Okay guys, come on. It's not like Raven and I are official..." Lloyd said, trying to hide his blush from the guys.

"Hey fools! Get over here," The guys turned to see Flare was calling them over.

"She really has a way with words," Cole said, sarcastically, as they walked over to Flare and the others.

When everyone was gathered around, Flare moved to the side, as Auria stood forward and said,

"Raven and her father are on their way."

Sensei Wu asked, "How do you know they are coming now?"

Auria turned towards the castle, and when everyone looked, they saw two people walking out of the tower, and five others slithering behind them.

Back in the tower a little while before:

"So, how have you been dad?" Raven asked, after she finished blowing her nose.

"Well, I've been doing alright, and the Viporeons have been doing fine as well," The King said.

Raven nodded, and then her dad asked, "So, how have you been doing?"

Raven sat down on one of the chairs, as her dad also took a seat and said, "Oh man dad, you've got to hear this..."

[Raven explained about:

meeting the ninja,

Marcell,

the secret evil meeting,

their visit to Volcanic lands,

their visit to Pulverize Peak Town,

being permanently older,

recent visit to Aeroplane,

about Silva,

about Ryan and what he told her about the relevants of her mother's crystal imprisonment to the villages separations,

and that Silva is rising up and planning to conquer each of the smaller lands.]

There was a lot of explaining, but Raven's father understood and caught on quickly to the situation. He stood silently listening, until Raven finished.

"I see..." He said, and asked, "Well, thisss is pretty troublesssome, isn't it?"

Raven nodded, and then her father said,

"Well that evil meeting seemsss pretty important. It would be bessst to attend. Undercover of course."

Raven once again nodded and said, "Yes. We all agreed it would be best to prepare and attend that meeting, since it's our only lead."

Raven's father stood up from his seat and said, "Then you'll need extra help to train and prepare. I know just the sssnakess for the job."

He pointed towards another entrance that connected the second floor to the third. Raven stood up and looked, as she saw five snakes slithering towards them. She gasped and smiled, as she ran up to the five Viporeon generals. [The Viporeons have the same patterns and main colors as the male serpentine, yet they all have pink colors instead of white or yellow that the serpentine have, and they have what looks like pink eye shadow around their eyes like the smokey eyes. You know what I'm talking about, right? Also, some of the Viporeons are mainly pink, and some aren't. Oh and Anaca has two spikes on her head that aim upward.]

"Oh my gosh! Your all here: Anaca [Anacondrai leader], Serpana [Hypnobrai leader], Vena [Venomari leader], Carrie [Constrictai leader], Fajra(FIE-ra) [Fangpyer leader]! It's been too long! I missed you guys. I'm sorry for sending you all on a wild goose chase," Raven said.

The Viporeon Serpentine each hugged Raven and spoke:

First was Anaca. "It'sss alright young one, assss long asssss your home now."

Then Serpana. "We underssstand why you left, it'sss alright."

Next was Vena. "Oh, it'sss great to sssee you unharmed."

Now was Carrie. "We're sssso glad your in one piece."

Finally was Fajra. "Don't worry child/ We forgive/ And forget/ It'ssss no problem."

Then Raven's father stood next to Raven, as the Viporeons bowed to their king and the princess.

"King Terrin, Princess Raven," Anaca said in respect.

"So Raven," King Terrin said, and asked, "Where are the othersss you've traveled with? I would love to meet them."

Terrin's snake-like tongue would sometimes show, as he spoke.

"Oh yes, that's right! You must meet my friends!" Raven said with excitement.

She took her father's hand, and lead him down the staircase to the first floor. The other Viporeons followed behind them.

Then Raven released her father's hand, as she was about to open the door, but Carrie grabbed the door first and opened it while bowing. Raven smiled shyly, and then she let her father pass first, as she followed behind him.

Present:

They were all walking outside together; King Terrin and Raven in front, and the Viporeons behind them. Raven looked and saw the Ninja Crew gathered together, walking towards them.

Then Ninja Crew stopped, as Raven, her father, and the Viporeons continued walking until they came face to face...

The King of the Viporeons gets to meet the Ninja... I wonder how that will turn out... :)
