Azalea approached Borg Tower casually. The tower reached high into the sky, much higher than most of the buildings around it. Although it was built before Azalea was even born, it still seemed to be pointing toward the future. Many technological advances had been made here and were still being made. This was one of the most heavily gaurded places in all of Ninjago, and she was going to try to take something from inside. She wore street clothes so she appeared innocent and trustworthy. She had received a building plan through the grapevine, it was nice to know there were friends among the masses. She walked through the door like anyone else would, there were several areas in Borg Tower that the general public were allowed in, many had colorful exhibits about the technology there. Time to play the part. She walked up to the information desk where an android was stationed. Azalea had heard that androids had souls, however she was never sure she believed it. Did they really go to the Departed Realm? Apparently the making of androids had stopped about a decade ago, mostly because no one saw any reason to use resources to make them, and even when making them was normal there were few that were actually successful. So androids in general were rare. " How can I help you?" Asked the droid in a male voice, he had sliver skin and white spiky hair. "Yeah I have a research project on the device that can track anyone. Could I see it? " She asked. " Oh, you mean Experiment 13XZ? " " I believe that was it. " " I'll call an escort. " Said the android. A human employee came up to them and the android informed him about what she wanted to see. " Ah, a student. " Said the man. Azalea had done the research and it turned out that they would let students in to see some things. She knew it was best if she could get as close as possible to the device. The security was about the same no matter what time of day or night it was so now as good of a time as any. Plus she wasn't concerned because she trained to be ready if anything went wrong, she wouldn't fail.
" Are there cameras in here?" She asked examining the device. " Yes... Why do you ask? " In a quick motion she stuck a sleep dart in the man's arm and threw several smoke bombs out where she guessed the cameras were. She then took out a glowing rock in shape of an arrow head and smashed it into the case hard shattering it. She grabbed the device and rushed out the door, the traps were all off so she got through without a problem. However security cought on fast. Lasers appeared in the room with the glass cases. She jumped over, ducked under and slipped in between the lasers till she made it to the other side of the room. Security nindroids came out of nowhere and attacker. She was more than ready though. She stabbed one with the arrow head and kicked another. Then slashed at an oncoming one. She ran down the hallway scanning the area for the stairs, she kept as far ahead of them as she could. Finally she found the stairs and many nindroids blocking them. She slashed at them with her small weapon and fought them hard, however she was quickly overcome. No! I can do this! It isn't over! She blindly fought them not even caring for sticking to her plan anymore. She just wouldn't accept defeat. However she felt a shooking pain as she was hit with high voltage of one of the nindroids' taser gun. She had failed... Before she could shout her cry of rage she fell unconscious...
They bit and and prodded at her for awhile but eventually they stopped and looked at her. The tan wolf glanced at the brown wolf and wagged her tail a little. The dark gray wolf nudged her as if telling her to stand, she stood on her paws. The black wolf walked a few feet away and looked back at Zephyr, he seemed to want her to follow him. She followed, she figured it couldn't hurt to at least see what they wanted. The other wolves followed too. They went through fog so thick she could barely see the black wolf. When the fog cleared Zephyr saw they were at the entrance of a cave. The black wolf motioned for Zephyr to go inside. She froze, she sensed danger. When she didn't comply the wolves around her growled. She shook out her coat and went forward into the cave. She figured she would just fight again if worst came to worst. She stepped into the dark cave and looked around, she could see wolves' eyes flashing at her from the shadows. At the back of the cave a lagre brown male wolf sat. As she approached she could see that he had one dark green eye, and half of his face looked burned... She was right in front of him now, he looked down at her and spoke. " Come gravity ninja, come... "
O.o
It's not hard to guess who the wolf with the scarred face is supposed to represent. . .
{JAMMERS! -ninjagofanmam- ONLY!} Of course! I'd LOVE that! ^.^ As long as you don't mind me making a mild reference or two to yours in my own sometime in the future.

HOW DID I MISS THIS?? I'm kinda mad at myself. XP
Ooh, I wondered when we'd see Azalea again.
It's ok.
This isn't the last the last you'll see of her either.

Chapter 15 A Wolf's Heir
Zephyr opened her eyes slowly, the very dim light of the morning came through the window and cast a dim beam on the floor. The vision from the night before was still fresh in her mind. She rolled out of bed reluctantly and stretched. She walked over to the widow and looked out at the garden, a thin layer of frost covered the rocks and plants. She suddenly remembered what today was, Day of the Departed. She had previously only celebrated it with her family in Hiroshi's Labyrinth where they'd light lanterns to remember those who had past and enjoy some treats as well. She had no idea how most people celebrated it though. She got changed into her normal blue ninja gi and went out her door. Zephyr joined the other students in morning exercise in silence. They all had a quick breakfast, Moe and Nathan were talking loudly about some of the scariest things that had happened to them on past Day of the Departeds. Each seemingly trying to top each other's most recent tail. Lisa and Jadyn would throw in comments now than, sometimes mentioning what their previous Day of the Departed celebrations were like with the ninja. Eventually the conversation shifted to Lisa and Jadyn explaining actually crazy stuff that had happened to them on Day of the Departed. But what was the craziest story of all was when Lisa told the story of how Cole ninja of earth went from ghost to human after facing the ghost of Sensei Yang and his students, and how the ninja had to face the ghosts of old enemies long before any of them were born.

" Did that really all happen? " Nathan asked in amazement. " So we've been told. " Said Lisa. " So it could be exaggerated? " Asked Nathan. " I believe every word of it. " Said Moe, " And maybe even more cool stuff happened that day the ninja didn't tell you guys. " " I doubt it. My dad likes to milk every detail. " Said Jadyn. The conversation continued on and Zephyr hardly said more than a word or two. The conversation was interesting, however she kept thinking about her dream from last night. Like all her wolf dreams it seemed so real and seemed to have a point of some kind which she couldn't understand. This though, was the first time a creature in her dreams had spoken. Sensei came from his room about an hour later and they all talked about what they would be doing that day. Sensei said they would all finally be visiting the ninja that day and in the evening they could all light lanterns to remember those who had departed. " Will your sister be joining us? " Moe asked Jadyn. " She'll come with us to vist our parents, but later she's going to the huge celebration in Ninjago City. " Repiled Jadyn. " How will we get there? Isn't the jet still being repaired? " Asked Zephyr. "Travelers tea." repiled Lloyd. Awhile later Copic arrived and she helped them carry travelers tea to the back garden and pack a bunch into backpacks so they could get back. Sensei fixed the tea so it would create a portal big enough for them all to travel at once, he didn't hold back from using a lot of travelers tea, of course he had told them time and time again he would feel much better if he didn't have so much of it on his hands. Before Zephyr could comprehend what was happening Sensei Lloyd had made the portal and they were all walking through it with backpacks on.

They were now in a place Zephyr didn't recognize, it seemed to be an outdoor area completely srouunded by natural rock walls towering above them. There was a red building with a dark green roof in front of them and all around them was flowers and small plants. " Where are we? " Asked Zephyr as the portal disappeared behind them. Sensei started walking towards the building and said. " We're on a mountain far north east of the dojo. " Even though there were plants it was very cold and Zephyr was glad that they were headed for the building, she was actually freezing. Once they had reached the building two people came out to them. One had sliver hair styled kinda like Zephyr's and white skin, ( if that's what you'd even call it ), she was also wearing a navy blue gi. The other had red hair, like actual red where in comparison Jadyn's appeared more orange, and she wore a gi that was yellow-orange in color. Both their faces brightened when they saw the group. Lisa went up and hugged the woman with sliver hair. The woman in yellow-orange gi embraced Jadyn, Copic stood by watching the woman and her younger brother. Their mothers, Zephyr realized quickly. Then that ment this was master of amber, and the android who always helped the ninja. Zephyr tried to remember their names, but without success. The master of amber whispered something to Jadyn a look of concern on her face, Jadyn must have said something though since her face quickly turned to that of relief as she released him and turned to Copic. " So... Have you thought it through? " Asked Copic. " I have, I stand by what I said before. " Repiled the master of amber. " What do you mean I'm not ready yet? I'm totally ready, in fact I was born ready. " Said Copic tilting her up and adjusting her lab coat dramatically. " You're ready when I say you're ready. " Said the master of amber plainly and simply as if she'd had this conversation a hundred times.
