Moe, Lisa, Copic, Nathan and Sensei Lloyd had let Zephyr go see her family members in the attic and now were standing around in the dining room. Lisa and Copic had started talking about a movie that had came out fairly recently and Sensei Lloyd and Nathan were discussing future training. Moe figured he'd go see what Mark was up to since he hadn't seen him since the Autumn Festavel. He went upstairs and over to his brother's bedroom door, it was closed and had a " keep out " road sign nailed to it. Moe knocked, no one said anything on the other side of the door. He opened the door, his brother was sitting on his bed starring at his phone. He glanced up at Moe and said. " Oh hey, you're here." " Hey, aren't you glad to see me? " Said Moe jokingly. " That depends on a lot of things. " Said Mark smirking as he glanced back down at his phone. " Are you texting Copper? " Asked Moe mischievously. " Why do you care? " Asked Mark defensively. " I knew it! You like her! " Said Moe grinning. " No! I mean yes! I mean ugh! Whycan'tIlie? " Moe started laughing at his brother's flustered reaction, he couldn't help it. " You asked for it! " Said Mark as he attempted to tackle Moe who was still laughing. The two of them ended up wrestling on the floor. Moe being nearly six years older than Mark had an advantage because of his size, however Moe didn't want to actually hurt his brother so he was going fairly easy on him. Mark on the other hand was fighting back pretty hard. " You should know better than to take on a spinjizu master. " Says Moe as he attempted to pin down Mark. " I'd love to see you try that, it's not going to work on me. " Said Mark trying to use his legs as leverage to keep Moe away. " Oh really? " Said Moe smirking. Then out of nowhere Mac came in and joined in. Moe turned to him and said. " We were right! " Mac grinned and said. " Really? Let's get him! " At this Zephyr's cousin and brother joined in. Zephyr's sister stood by asking them if this was allowed and what it was all about.

Eventually they all they got bored of tussling and Moe went downstairs sweating. " What happened to you? " Asked Lisa. Moe shrugged and said. " Just went to go say hi to my little bro. " " Don't think I don't have any idea what you guys were doing up there. " Said Lisa knowingly. " Aw come on, we were just haveing a little fun. " " I'm sure Mark had a blast. " Said Lisa rolling her eyes. Later Zephyr came downstairs and Moe's father, Zephyr's mother, uncle and cousins came in and they all talked about the recent events. Sensei said it would probably be a good idea to stay the night at the farmhouse just in case they had been followed and then tomorrow they could go back to the home of the ninja and make a serious plan on how to find Zechariah and Jadyn. Copic said she had plans that night though so she left saying she would pick them up the next day.

Jadyn was waiting in his assigned cell. He wasn't sure anymore what level of trust he had with Alpha. He was a part of the pack now yet Alpha wanted him smashed. Alpha was ok with sharing secrets with him yet he didn't want to leave him unwatched in the den. Jadyn was very tempted to escape the first chance he got. However something was telling him maybe he should use the little trust that Alpha gave him to his advantage, in the long run anything he learned could most likely be used to help defeat Alpha and the pack. Just then Jadyn heard the sound of footsteps coming toward his cell, soon the warrior came close and opened the door saying. " Zechariah wishes to see you, come with me. " Jadyn didn't ask any questions and followed the warrior. Jadyn was aware that doing as the pack said probably made him come off as weak, but right now he needed them to underestimate him as much as possible, so for now he had to swallow his pride. As they walked through the dark halls of the den Jadyn saw warriors watching him from the shadows. They eyed him down like a literal pack of wolves would, Jadyn tried not to make eye contact so he wouldn't provoke them. Finally he and the warrior he had followed arrived at a door on the next level and Jadyn entered, leaving the warrior in the hallway outside. Inside was a fairly large bedroom with a window letting in the evening light. It was nicely furnished with a large bed, rugs, a wardrobe, a nightstand and more. Plus there was a large closet and what appeared to be a bathroom connected to the room. By the window was Zechariah in a wheelchair, both legs in casts. He wore the uniform of the pack like Jadyn, except instead of being black and red Zechariah's was black and green.

" Everything is just how I left it. " Said Zechariah looking up Jadyn " What do you mean? " Asked Jadyn. " My room, no one has been in here in years probably. " Zechariah maneuver his wheelchair so he was facing the bed. " You should sit down, we have much to discuss. " Zechariah gestured at the bed. Jadyn sat on the mattress of the bed, he was now at eye level with Zechariah. " So you are a part of the pack now. I see my plan worked. " Said Zechariah. " It seems I am. I'm probably the lowest rank. " Said Jadyn grinning just slightly. " That would be expected considering your heritage and circumstances. Fox rank so I hear. " " What's this about a prophecy and Zephyr? Something about foxes and wolves. " Asked Jadyn. Zechariah grinned. " Ah yes the prophecy. I've known of it for years and have had plenty of time to think it through. I stand by what I said that that's how I interpret it and that I do indeed believe the prophecy, however who's to say the prophecy was only meant for my father and the pack? Now technically, I could be the wolf among stangers. I don't know any of the new pack members and have grown distant with the old. And Zephyr could be in theory the fox among wolves since she's an elemental master. But my father would never want to accept either of these possibilities, not with his pride. "

Oh, boy. XD
Thought I'd throw in some light-hearted sibling drama with a little brotherly bonding.

" So as I suspected he was more than willing to accept that you are the fox among wolves and Zephyr is the wolf among strangers, the elemental masters. So he let you live. " Said Zechariah. " I guess that makes sense. What about the rest of the prophecy? " Asked Jadyn. " Alright, let me explain. We must gather aurora lights, meaning aurora minerals for the plan." " What's the plan? " Asked Jadyn cerious. Zechariah answered. " I'll explain that later, anyways moving forward the next thing in prophecy says we must learn to survive, which the pack has been surviving. I mean the pack was here all along and the ninja never noticed. I already explained the fox and wolf part, but the reason why it is important is because that is a sign that the time is near. And then there's the part about the asteroid coming, that is also a part of the plan Gamma and my father have made. And finally Gamma being the skygazer must look to the stars, or specifically the sky so we know when the asteroid will arrive. " " So what is so important about the asteroid? " " Ah, even most of the pack doesn't know the answer to that. However, I do. I had better tell you the plan. First though, do you know the story of the ansectors? " " Yes, Zephyr told us a little about that. I'm still comprehending it all though." Jadyn replied running his hand through his red hair. Zechariah nodded understanding. " It is a lot to take in I suppose. You get the general idea though right? " " Yeah. " Jadyn thought back to what Alpha had said about the past master of fire leading the attack. Zephyr hadn't mentioned that... " Good then, I can explain my father's plan now. Basically we do as prophecy says and Gamma watches the skies for the asteroid. He's discovered that the particular asteroid that's on the way has a substance in it that is attracted to aurora minerals, so he believes that gathering many aurora minerals to one location will bring it to where we want it. " Said Zechariah.
" Why do you want the asteroid? And where are you keeping all the aurora minerals you gather?" Asked Jadyn. " We used to keep them hidden on a patch of land owned by the pack, but they could have moved them in the last twenty years. And we want the asteroid because supposedly the substance in it is the main ingredient to a spell that will make the pack like the ansectors. " " How so? " " I mean the pack will then be able to change into wolves. The pack has always seen magic as to powerful, but my father sees this spell as medicine, as a way to restore the pack to how they were before being scarred. That's not all either, not long before I left the pack had begun to expirement with how we could make weapons out of the aurora minerals. We wanted to have more then one use for them, I don't know what they've accomplished in the time I've been gone, but it is something to be concerned about. Which brings me to my next thing, my father and the pack want all elemental masters gone. The pack has always lived in fear of them and is hungry to avenge. My father believes that once you and your kind are all smashed peace will be brought to Ninjago and the pack can live in such peace in their restored form. " " So when do they plan to get rid of the elemental masters? I don't see them trying now. " Said Jadyn, keeping up with all this was hard but he was doing his best. " Well technically the pack has always been going after elemental masters little by little, but my father wants to get rid of them all in one sweep, legally... " Jadyn was surprised by this. " Legally!? " " Yes, the plan is to make my baby sister empress. She will then make a decree to get rid of any and all elemental masters, and then the hunt will be on. The plan is to do this after the asteroid comes and before we restore ourselves to how our ancestors were. " " Who would agree to such a decree? " Asked Jadyn. " People who think like my father, that's who, and so long as there is a handful of them who are loud enough and powerful enough no one is going to stop them if they don't want trouble. " Repiled Zechariah. " And your sister is ok with doing this? "
