*** " How close are we? " Copic smirked as she answered his question. " I'd say we are close enough to be considered friends, before we were aqutances, but now that we know each other well enough I'd say definitely friends. " Moe looked a little confused and slightly flustered. " Wait what? No, I ment how close are we to the new HQ. I mean we are friends but that's not what I- " She cut him off as she laughed and said. " I'm just messing with you speedy boy, I know what you meant, lighten up! We should be there any minute now. " " Oh right, that is actually pretty funny. Should you really be making jokes right now though? " He asked. " At a time like this, OF COURSE! What better time to try to keep things cheery? I say joke until the world ends! " At that moment she made a sudden turn to the right on a small road. Moe was surprised by the sudden movement for a second. " I guess that makes sense, I'll keep that in mind." Moe repiled grinning. " See? Even I can teach you a thing or two. " Said Copic winking. " I bet there's some stuff I know that you don't though. " Said Moe. " Try me. "
*** " Here we are, home sweet home." " Where are we? " Asked Zephyr. " Welcome to the home of the ninja. " Said Copic. They brought the stuff into the living room of Lloyd's house, which was pretty tidy and empty for the most part. Copic was tempted to go check on her lab in her parents' house, but decided she'd be better off doing that later. Copic checked her watch. Rats! Fred'll be here to pick up the trash while we're gone. Unless I check the security cams later tonight, yeah I can do that while I have my midnight coffee, that'll work out nicely. Oh and after that I can work on- " Copic, let's get going. " Said Lloyd interrupting Copic's internal planing. " Aye aye captain. " Replied Copic getting into the drivers seat. She would be back here later after checking in on Zephyr's and Moe's families and possibly forming a plan.
Ooh. :3
XD Her little brother is kidnapped by a bunch of wolf cultists, and the thing she's most worried about is missing Fred the trash collector.
*** Zephyr got on the floor and looked into the pet carrier. Luma was up against the back of the pet carrier frozen in fear, her nose twitched quickly. She looked at Zephyr with what appeared to be an intelligent gaze. ** " Since Jadyn isn't here, at the moment, what about his room? " Lisa looked thoughtful for a second and then said. " We can only take so much with us, so I'm afraid we'll have to just leave it all since he's not here. However I know his collection of throwing stars means a lot to him, so I think we should at least take that with us. " " Well I'm not doing anything so I could probably get it. " Said Zephyr trying not to sound to overly eger to go in Jadyn's room. " Ok. " Was Lisa's reply as she returned her full attention back to packing the food.
Aww, don't worry, Luma. 3:
Hmm--is she up to something, or does she just want to check out Jadyn's room?
*** Then the sooner they moved to a new location, the sooner she could sreach the planet for Jadyn, and her father. After she had put the case by the other stuff she helped pack what was left of things they needed to bring along. Soon enough Copic arrived and they loaded everything in her van along with themselves. As they drove everyone was quiet, Zephyr knew why... Moe was the one to actually finally say something about it. " Without Jadyn here it kinda feels like, I don't know, we aren't a complete team. It's just kinda strange... " " Don't worry, we'll do everything in our power to find him. Won't we Sensei? " Said Lisa. " Of course. " **
Originally I think I had Copic's vehicle be a SUV but it somehow changed to a van and I can't really fix it so oh well. XP

Chapter 2 Patience and Planing
Copic's vehicle past freshly harvested fields as it drove past the many farms in this small region of Ninjago. The landscape was vaguely fumliaur to Zephyr, however she could hardly place it. Then the van turned into the long driveway of a farm with a farmhouse and several large buildings that appeared to be for animals, feed and equipment. There were cows grazing behind wire fencing, Zephyr was reminded of what Keegan had told her about staying away from it. Copic parked the van and they all got out as some people came out of the farmhouse to greet them. Zephyr recognized them to be Moe's mother and one of his younger brothers. When the boy saw them he rushed back inside shouting. " It's ok to come out, it's them! " Then he came back out followed by Gregory, George, Zarha and aunt Amelia. " Zephyr! Is father with you? " Said Zahra as she ran over to Zephyr. She shook her head no and looked down at the ground. " Then where is he? " Asked George. " And where's the fire guy? " Zephyr didn't want to tell them the horrible truth, but she had to tell them something. " I don't know... But I will find them. " Moe walked up to his brother and asked. " Where are all the others Mac? " Mac answered. " Mark is in his room texting you know who. Dad is teaching your friend's family to do farm chores, and some of them up in the attic." Moe's mother nooded to confirm that what he said was true and added. " For those of you who don't know, we've come to the agreement that the family can live in our attic and hide here and do farm chores in return. Centaur was intending to hire some new hired hands ever since our last ones quit to get jobs elsewhere. " " And again, we thank you for that. " Said Zephyr's aunt Amelia. " How about I show everyone around the farm real quick and maybe we'll see dad and the others. " Said Moe. " Go ahead. " Said Moe's mother. So Moe showed Zephyr, Lisa, Nathan, Copic, Sensei Lloyd, Zarha, Gregory and Gorege around the farm. Mac came along too, lecturing them all on farming.
The largest building was for the cows, Mac said they were holstein dairy cattle. He and Moe showed them the milking stations and how milking the cows with the machine worked. There were calves too, that were kept in different area from the grown cattle. Zephyr tried to pet one of them, it began to lick her hand with it's sticky course tung. They then went over to a much smaller building where chickens were kept, most of the chickens were brown or red in color and some were smaller then the others. Mac picked up one of the smaller chickens and held him up. " This is my favorite rooster, his name is Twerp, he's a bantam. " The little rooster eyed Mac questioningly for disturbing him. Then they went to a building where lots of feed and lagre farm equipment like tractors and such were held. In there they found Moe's father explaining something to uncle Grayson, Zephyr's mother, Grant and Zaida. Moe's father stopped what he doing and said to them as they approached. " Oh good, you've returned, any news to report?" " None yet. " Replied Lisa. Zephyr's mother asked. " Nothing at all? " Deep concern was written on her face. " We'll find them. " Said Zephyr, trying the best she could sound reassuring to her mother. But she was beginning to wonder if she was only saying that to reassure herself. They all agreed to talk more later after Moe's father had shown uncle Grayson, Zephyr's mother, Grant and Zaida more about the farm. As they headed back to the house Zephyr spotted a few barn cats romeing about the property. When they all went inside they were greeted by two friendly brown and white border collies. Zephyr petted their saggy coats and let them lick her. Moe's mother was in the kitchen with Zephyr's aunt, they seemed to be baking something. Gregory tugged on Zephyr's arm and said. " Come on, we need to show you where we're living now. " George and Zahra agreed rushing upstairs, followed by Mac. Zephyr glanced back at Moe, Lisa, Nathan, Copic and Sensei Lloyd. They all seemed ok with it.
So she rushed after her siblings and cousin up the stairs. They motioned for her to follow them up some more stairs at the end of the hallway, these stairs were much smaller and led up to a trapdoor in the ceiling. George opened it and the four kids disappeared up it. Zephyr followed them up the stairs and through the trapdoor. She was now in an attic, a nice attic with new wood and even a window. The ceiling was tall enough that a fully grown adult man could stand comfortably and the floor was strong enough that there was no cause for concern. There was stuff all over the place on the ground and Zephyr realized that there was spots set up for sleeping with pillows and blankets and such. There was also the stuff her family had brought from Hiroshi's Labyrinth. Little Star and Reven were out of their cat carriers and were happily sitting on what appeared to be Zarha's sleeping spot. Zephyr's grandmother and grandfather, the good ones, the grandparents she had always known as her grandparents were sitting on some chairs that had been brought up to the attic. They had been talking and Gabe had been playing with some of his toys at their feet. They now starred at Zephyr though. " You're here. " Said her grandfather. " Yes. " Said Zephyr, she didn't know if he knew about Zephyr's other grandfather. " Come here Zephyr. " Said her grandmother. Zephyr came closer to her and she said. " My father was an elemental master, and my son was an elemental master, it is an absolute honor that my granddaughter is also. I feel so blessed to have seen three generations of gravity masters. I'm so glad I've lived this long to know that you get the element, that I get to see you like this before the time I'm gone. I could probably go in peace now. " " Don't talk like that grandma. " Said Zephyr quietly. " Don't worry, it's not my time yet. I'm just tired from all the excitement recently... " After she had spoken with her grandparents a little more, said hi to Gabe and let her siblings and cousin show her where they all slept she went back down the trapdoor and downstairs to see if the other family members had come inside yet.

"Twerp". Why do I like that name? xD
"Return me to my roost immediately, lowly peasant. "
It's nice to see Zephyr back with her family, :3 even if under less-than-ideal circumstances.

Aww. 3: The last thing Zephyr needs right now is one of her nice grandparents talking about passing away.

Because it suits him? ( He's named after a rooster I used to have that my brother named. )
