The group continued to stare at this Sensei Wu who managed to enter the Bounty without so much as a sound. Though Kai wouldn't help himself from thinking that he seemed almost familiar almost like he met him before. Before he could voice his thoughts on the matter, Jay asked a question or more like yelled it.

"Sensei Wu, You've been to the Underground and never told us?" Jay yelled. 

"I'm sure that he was going to tell us without all of this yelling that you do. Seriously, how are these people protectors especially that loud one." June said. This made Jay glare at her, but before any fighting broke out.

"June, I'm sure that they're capable protectors and will be able to help us with our predicament. Especially since my sister is helping them." Kai said. 

"Thank you. At least Kai doesn't underestimate our potential unlike some people." Jay said. Before June could say anything else, Wu coughed and brought everyone's attention back towards him.

"I know of the underground due to the stories that I heard along with my brother. Though I did attempt to go there to help save your brother before I was stopped." Wu said.

"So that's why I thought that you were familiar, you were one of the people who tried to help me." Kai said.

"Yes. I ultimately failed due to reasons that my students haven't prepared for which is why I ask that you can help teach them." Wu said.

"Seriously?! Why should we learn anything from them? We saved Ninjago multiple times, but...." Jay said before Kai interrupted him.

"Like I said before, you guys are capable protectors...however I fear what would happen if you were attacked by people who could harm or even kill you. So I think that it's wise for you guys to learn some things from the girls and my saviors." Kai said.

"Saviors? We kidnapped you, basically brought you topside and are being hunted by the king's forces...so why would you...." Yin said before Kai continued.

"Listen, you managed to get me away from that man before he could us me and my children to do more harm towards the civilians who are still suffering at his hands. More importantly, you managed to help reunite me with my sister who still hasn't told me about this boy that she was seeing....while introducing me to some new friends along the way." Kai said.

"That was kind of you to say." Nicki said.

"As nice as this moment is, we still need to know what we need to do to combat the king's forces." Cole said.

"Sigh...To understand what you're going up against, you would first need to know about the magic surrounding the Underground Society." Trevor said.

"Magic? That doesn't exist...Does it?" Jay said.

"It does in the Underground Society. Some residents are able to use magic to some degree while the King and Queen have the most powerful." Yin said.

"Wait, you have magic?" The ninja said as they stared at Kai.

"Sigh...unfortunately. I didn't have a choice to not have any magic since the King basically made all of the decisions for me." Kai said.

"We can continue this conversation later. For now, we need to eat and prepare for some training." Master Wu said as he sat down to eat. The rest of the group followed while Kai wondered who else his so called husband would send. As soon as that thought crossed his mind, a pit of fear slowly started to build in his stomach. Given enough failures to recapture him and his child or children...he would be forced to send out his elite force. 

A force so feared that they struck fear in all of the civilians hearts. He has seen them in action, but even now it has given him countless nightmares. Shaking his head, he tried to be positive that the ninja will get through this. They were protectors of Ninjago after all and after some training from his saviors and beloved daughters...they can handle anything.

Meanwhile, a figure was waiting for their opportunity to please the king. It was almost laughable at how strange the topside was. This Sun was hurting their eyes and they were feeling sick by seeing all of these colors in their face. 

"I hope that I get the Queen soon so I can go back home." The figure said. Though did they really want to go back...things down there were always tough and bloodshed happened daily. Shaking their head, they started to prepare to take back the Queen and bring honor to their family.

No matter how conflicted they may be.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter...Bye 👋
