Zephyr woke up, she had no idea how long she had been asleep or what time it was. She thought of her friends, she winced, she had left them behind, Jadyn, Moe, Lisa, Nathan, Sensei, she had left them all, for all she knew they could be smashed. She felt horrible... She suddenly heard footsteps coming toward her cell, she stood up, putting her hands into fists. The door unlocked and opened to reveal a warrior with his hood off, he seemed to be middle-aged and had a beard. " So you're the gravity ninja I've been hearing so much about from the other pack members today. Alrighty then. Alpha wants to see you as soon as your ready. " " Where are my friends? What do you want? And where are we?" Zephyr asked aggressively. " Why don't you ask Alpha? I'm sure he'll be more then happy to answer any questions you may have." Said the warrior calmly. " Fine, I'll see him now then." Repiled Zephyr, she just wanted to know if her friends and Sensei were ok, plus she had a lot questions she wanted answered about these people. Also she had to admit she was cerious about who this Alpha was. " This way. " Said the warrior. He led her down the stone hallway, there were a few other cells, she peaked into one of them. " There are no prisoners. We haven't taken prisoners in a long time... " Zephyr's heart felt like it almost forgot to beat when she heard that. " Then what happened to-? " " Ask Alpha. " The warrior interrupted. At the end of the hallway they took a left and then they walked out into a larger room with a much higher ceiling and skylights. There were more warriors then Zephyr could count in this room, all with their hoods off, they raged in age from teenagers all the way up to even elderly people. Zephyr and the warrior took a right and went down another hallway, there were tapestries on the walls here to. The warrior stopped in front of a door at the very end of the hallway. He opened the door and they went inside.
" Thank you Kent, you may leave. " Said a voice from inside the mostly dark room. Kent left closing the door behind him. The room had skylights, but Zephyr couldn't tell if it was moonlight or dim daylight lighting up the room just enough to see. Part of the room was elevated a little more then the rest and it was all made of stone besides the door. The ceiling was high and there were large tapestries on the walls. In the center of the room standing on the elevated part of the floor was a man. He wore gray and black and had a small cape draped over his shoulder, his hair was long and went to his shoulders and was gray with hints of its previous auburn. However the first thing she really noticed was that half his face was burned so that only one eye shared at her through the dimness. She carefully stepped closer to the center of the room, unsure of what this " Alpha" wanted to see her for. She needed to ask him what he wanted, but first she needed to know what happened to Jadyn, Moe, Lisa, Nathan and Sensei. " Where's my team? " She asked as calmly as she could. " You'll be glad to hear they're alive and where you left them, smashing them would be shooting myself in the foot at the moment." Repiled Alpha in a clam matter of fact tone. Zephyr sighed in releaf and asked. " What do you want?" She was feeling a lot more bold knowing her friends were ok. " For now, just to talk. " Said Alpha. "Who are you? " Alpha grinned and replied. " Zephyr, I'm your grandfather. "

Chapter 16 The Tale of the Wolves
Zephyr wasn't sure what to think of this information, at first it kinda just went over her head, but as thought about what he just said it began to sink in a little more. Honestly she had thought of the possibility of her missing grandparents being evil before, how could she not? That kind of thing happened in comic books all the time. She had scolded herself when she thought of that long ago though, at the time she figured it was wrong to think of her most likely departed and probably nice grandparents as evil. But that was a long time ago she had thought of that. However now that this was real she honestly wasn't sure what to think. Was this good? Bad? It was crazy that was for sure. Really crazy. " I would have expected you to be more shocked considering you don't seem to know who I am. " Said Alpha slightly amused. " Oh, I am shocked, just was thinking about it... So, wait what? How? Why? " " Did your father tell you anything?" Asked Alpha. " He basically said people were after us and to not give away who we are or our location. " repiled Zephyr. " Did he tell you about our ansectors?" " No. " " I guess I get to tell you our whole story then. Come closer and sit down, it's kind of a long story. " Said Alpha. Zephyr did as she was told and sat down on the hard cold stone, mostly because she was very cerious. " Our story really begins at the beginning, when the First Spinjizu Master created Ninjago, it is said that he created humans, serpentine, and other beings and creatures that now and did inhabit Ninjago's land mass. Along with them was our ansectors' race who's real name has been lost to time, wolves who could speak like men. Although they looked like the animal that are wolves, they were larger, smarter, and thought like a being bound to the so called written moral code. At first our ansectors' race lived in harmony and peace in a single pack in a place called the Spirit Forest, a mystical forest our ansectors called home. "
" So wait, how can we be descended from wolves? " Asked Zephyr confused. " I'm getting to that. When dark creatures came from the First Realm for the First Spinjizu Master the First Alpha decided our ansectors would aid him in fighting them off. Many lives were lost to the dark creatures, but all who fought were willing to smash to protect the First Spinjizu Master. After the dark creatures were gone the First Spinjizu Master told the First Alpha he could have anything he wanted as a thank you for the service the pack had done. The First Alpha choose a rather strange wish, he had longed to live among humans ever since he'd heard of them, so he asked that he could be human. However, the First Spinjizu Master granted him something miraculous instead. The First Alpha and his pack could now swap between human form and wolf form. The choice would be up to each individual if they would rather live among humans or stay wild in the Spirit Forest. The First Alpha passed the role of alpha to his second in command and left the pack to live among the humans. Several wolves followed his example and did the same. Some returned after awhile, while some started familiars with and among humans. The First Spinjizu Master fought to keep the balance in this world by fighting the Overlord and splitting Ninjago in two, unfortunately when he made the choice to do this it wasn't without a price. The Spirit Forest was destroyed and many parished. So the pack moved to a new forest in a different part of Ninjago. Years went by, the pack became distant with the First Spinjizu Master and kept to themselves for the most part. In this time the pack would spend their days hunting and studying the balance. For it was the balance that destroyed our ansectors home, so if it could be understood it could be controlled. What they found was interesting indeed, it seems that whenever someone would become strong with supernatural powers destructive evil would rise shortly after. They would fight, the victor would become more powerful and then one day another stronger evil would come to try and beat them. "
Zephyr's dad is Alpha's son--unless present-day Alpha is a different guy--which would make Zephyr Alpha's-- OH MY--!!!
And then he meets Gravis's sister which means she's Zephyr's mom--
O.O >.< O.O Excuse me while my head spins as I try to take in everything
oh my bricks NFM, please give us MOAR.
Haha yes! You have no idea how long I've kept that to myself! I've been waiting so long, oh so long to drop that information. I must have thought it through at least a 100+ times. And now, here we are at last!
Of course!

This is an awesome plot twist. I'm just loving this story more and more.

" Our ancestors realized that if this kept going eventually two would rise to be so powerful that their fight would destroy the world as we know it. So to prevent this our ansectors figured out a simple solution, destroy power, this way nothing more powerful can rise and bring destruction. So the alpha at the time along with a handful of the pack came to the most powerful warriors in the land, the elemental masters. Our ancestors told them of this doom that would come if they would not give up their elemental powers. The elemental masters of the time refused, saying that our ancestors were crazy and out of their minds. Alpha of the time told them they would regret their choice and they left them. To prove the truth to the elemental masters Alpha freed a monster from the Underworld. It attacked the elemental masters, however after defeating it the elemental masters discovered it was our ansectors who freed the monster. Hungry for revenge the master of fire at the time gathered a group of other elemental masters and raided the forest in the late morning when the pack slept. He burned the forest and the others slayed our ansectors like animals. The ironic thing was they didn't just use their elemental powers to do the job either, most of our kind were lost to the sword and the fire that spread throughout the forest. Once the elemental masters thought our ansectors were all gone they raided what remained of their homes and left. It was said that when the other elemental masters heard of this they were horrified, they took the group's powers by force and banished them to the Cursed Realm. The only survivors were two of Alpha's sons and the wife of the older brother. The three of them went into hiding and the younger brother met and married a human. Time pasted, the older brother had twelve children and the younger had three, this was the beginnings of the new pack. "
