Kai's p.o.v (zodiac)

I hover above Ninjago, the black cloud swirling. Banking, I head for the monastery. Coming to it, an earth ball slams into my side. I, in turn, slam into a support. Coughing, a sword is placed at my neck.

"Your out matched oni, give up and return." Lloyd commands. I look at them, slowly getting up, hands behind my head. Cole comes behind, reaching for my left hand and he freezes.

Next I know, I'm on the ground, he holds my hand in a vise grip. "How'd you come by this, this ring is my grandmother's." Cole snarls. "I know, you told me when you put it on my finger. In my realm, your my beloved husband and father of our four kids." I tell hem.

Cole looks at me some more, than gets up, offering a hand. "Sorry..um Kai right." "Yeah, Brickstone but call me by my sir name." I say.

"Smith. That will get really confusing real quick." Lloyd said. "Not really. I'm Zodiac. So yeah." I said. "Your not my brother." Nya said.

I shake my head "My sister's name is Tris, younger brother is Austin. So, what's with the cloud." I say. "Lets got on the Bounty and we'll explain. We're heading to Kriptarum." Lloyd said. Wu walks out, I bow in respect.

Getting on the Bounty, we head to the prison. Trench coat blowing in the wind, I look out. I've taken to waring it as it helps to hide my wings like right now.

Footsteps has me looking at Cole. "So, how'd he meet you. Not that I have anything against my counterpart falling for my friend."

All the ninja are listening. Taking a deep breath, I turn to look at the sun. "Twenty-one years ago, I was born but under the rule of a vicious slave master. When mama had me, I was ripped from her. She was knocked out and taken elsewhere." I begin.

"For sixteen years, I lived in fear, pain was my friend. My only excape was doing clay molding. I would be beat, wripped, burned, branded and raped two to three times a day. When the ninja liberated the camp, Cole was the one who helped bring me out." I say.

Stepping back, I turn to the group. "Each ninja gained my trust doing a special bonding moment. Zane was patching me up after I cut my arm on glass and frying pan burned me. Jay was teaching me video games and tickling me. Nya taught me to swim and I met Austin, Tris and Mikey. Wu trained me in ninjitzu. And Lloyd threw me a birthday party."

"I flipped out and ran to the shop. Cole calmed me down and I returned to the party. A few weeks later, I made sculptures for the guys based on the moments. And, Cole popped the question and I said yes."

"Asking the gang to help in locating my mother. I found them at a dinner and Zane did the test. A few months later, me and Cole married. Weeks later, I found our first child in a dumpster and we adopted her."

"On a quest to restore the Zodiac family to its former glory, I met Milly and adopted her. During a fight between my ancestor, he stabbed and shot an arrow into me. It was found out I was pregnant with our twin boys. Zodiac males are able to carry young, and we are extremely fertile."

"While recovering from the stabs, Fowline had snuck onboard and attacked. He stabbed my in the chest with claws after he slugged me, breaking and fracturing my ribs.

"A sword in hand, I killed my ancestor to save my family." Moving the coat aside, the scars from the gunlet are seen. The ninja cover their mouths, Lloyd looks ready to puke.

I place a hand on his shoulder. "You saved me that day. Had you not found me in the bathroom where I hid the boys, I wouldn't be here. I knew, the minute my sword touched my hands, one of us wasn't walking out alive."

We arrive at Kriptarum and I stay on the ship. They come back with Oni Lord Garmadon. I don't even care. All I want to do is go home. But, as I turn from the rails, I know, that'll be no time soon.

So, I'll help out here and, when the time comes, I'll return home.

The reason I haven't undated lately. My older cousin got into a bad wreak Friday at 1 in the morning. She got out of surgery around noon today and is expected to make a full recovery.

Thanks for being patient and for all the likes, reads and comments.
