Ninjago: Samurai I

Chapter 13: Secrets Discovered

As soon as he had jumped out, Samurai I pressed a button, activating the thrusters before watching the Sama-craft fly away to not attract attention. Once it came across some clouds, Samurai I immediately controlled his mech to have it move to hospital. Since obviously only family was allowed to visit the archaeologist in his hospital room and couldn't pass as family since he was a person of interest, or fugitive in his opinion, Samurai I landed his mech on the rooftop before getting out, and looked at the sunrise. "The last sunrise I will probably see." He said in his normal voice instead of his computerised one. After a few seconds, Samurai I came over to the edge before going over it with his hands hanging onto it before he started climbing down or to the side, window to window, making sure he doesn't attract attention until he reach his desired room.

The room was like any other, but Professor Nathan Boulders, who was in black silk pyjamas and eating some oatmeal for his breakfast, obviously had some family visiting as there was a vase with flowers on the bedside table, as well as some cards, one of which looked badly drawn. As soon as he had just finished, Nathan heard the window open and someone came in. He was about to press the 'Help' button, but recognised who it was. "Samurai I." He speechlessly said while the unexpected visitor closed the window.

"How are you doing, professor?" He asked in a calm, robotic voiced tone as he came over to him, managing to go into a corner where a camera wouldn't notice him.

"I'm fine, thanks to you. But, what are you doing here?"

"This is not a social visit." Nathan was confused at Samurai I's answer before he lowered his head, grabbed hold of his helmet and took it off. The moment he looked back up, the professor saw the real face of his saviour and was surprised. "I need your help." He spoke in what appeared to be his normal voice.

"You're that boy from the news. Clifton Walker."

"Yes, it's true, I am Samurai I. But before you hit that panic button and have the orderlies detain me, there is something I need from you."

"What do you want?"

"The guy that tried to kill you, he wanted the Teapot of Tyrahn, right?" Nathan nodded in reply. "What happened when you found it?"

"It was not long after your parents defeated the Pyro Vipers and returned from the Never-Realm."

20 Years Earlier

A younger Nathan, sporting a green fedora and dressed in a blue shirt, grey khakis and black boots, walked along the Desert of Doom, sighing at his empty canteen before his left foot hits something. "I had gotten lost from my group that were sent to check out the pyramid where the Vipers came from." Nathan knelt down to brush away what he had hit before discovering it was a brass teapot. "As I walked aimlessly, I found the teapot in the sand. It was the famous Teapot of Tyrahn that housed the infamous pirate from over 200 years ago, Nadakhan the Djinn." He looked at it before noticing a symbol that appeared to be out of place. "I read the stories, but I was desperate, lost, and thirsty, so I thought a few wishes wouldn't hurt."

Nathan turns the part where the symbol was out of place and turned it. Once the symbol was in its correct spot, orange smog immediately came out as Nathan looked on before his hat came off, but he didn't care, as the smog formed a figure with orange skin, four arms, one hand of which was replaced with a hook, no legs as he just had a stream of smog where they should be, and in pirate attire. He then turned around to look at the surprised archaeologist. "Nadakhan the Djinn." He said.

"I see you have heard of me." The infamous Djinn replied. "Tell me, where are we?"

"The Desert of Doom, but I am lost."
