Finding the Truth

Chapter.7

Kai POV:

We flew away from the Monastery on our dragons to the Sea of Sands where Jay's parent's junkyard is. A part of me was still in complete shock though.

I mean Jay had practically saved all of Ninjago on his own. Jay!? The Master of blabber, Mouth of Lightning, some may also call him the weakest ninja...I'll admit I also called him the weakest ninja, but now... I'm questioning that statement.

He resisted an evil pirate djinn, got tortured physically and mentally, lost all of us at some point throughout it all, had Nya in his arms when she...died... and even after all of that still managed to save everyone. The hell...

I owe that guy a lot. He saved us and my sister...

"Jay?!" Lloyd said breaking the silence.

"Yes, Lloyd?" 

"Where did the eyepatch go?"

'Omg Lloyd' I thought

"Gone. Time turned back so technically I neer got the eye patch." Jay responded keeping his gaze forward.

I gave the green ninja a 'Seriously? That's your question look'. He simply shrugged with an innocent smile, dammit I can't be annoyed with that kid.

" I'm sorry'' Cole said out of nowhere, having all heads snap towards him other than Jay's.

"For what Cole?" Jay questioned the black ninja still keeping his eyes forward.

"For calling you weak, making fun of you all these years, never really taking you seriously, and just all the bad things that have been inflicted upon you over the years..." Cole said looking down after voicing what I think most of us are thinking.

Jay closed his eyes and took a deep breath before glancing at me, Cole, Zane, and Lloyd and saying "Don't apologize, I don't want it or need it. You guys were right to view me that way, I'm the comic relief of the team. I joke around to keep everyone's spirits up but really all it does is make me look like an idiot but it also helps me hide my true feelings. I can't hide from the truth, and you guys were only speaking the truth. I accept that." He said in a monotone voice before looking forward once again with the same emotionless expression on.

I don't think any of us knew what to say after that, all I know is...that I feel horrible.

Jay POV:

I understand that Cole and the others want to apologize but...I honestly don't want them to. I don't want to be pitied and plus they were right all these years... they've always been right. I'm the weakest ninja and I know that. No matter what story I tell that may change people's minds about me I'll always feel a certain way about myself. I feel all emotions but I view myself as someone that hides behind a false appearance most of the time, some times when I'm happy they are genuine, but other times I'm just really hiding my fear and anger in a situation. 

I just can't seem to hide my feelings anymore, after recalling all those memories of Nadakhan, I've been feeling kind dead. He messed me up so much, he revealed the truth on a touchy subject I used to think was fake. I thought he had changed the past or something... but no! Of course not, of course, it's real and now I have to go confront my parents about it and receive the head-spinning news that is me being adopted. Again.

I know that my biological father is Cliff Gordan and that actually really cool and all but now apart of me is just wishing that I was born in a junkyard. That would have made life so much easier...but now I have to go through the emotional roller coaster that is figuring out about my biological family. I took a deep breath and paused from all my thinking before realizing something...

Who is my real mother?

I've been so caught up in other the fact that I'm actually adopter that I didn't stop to think that since I have a biological father that is Cliff Gordan that I must have a biological mom too! Or else how the hell would I be here! 'Jeez, Jay you idiot' I thought to myself with a facepalm.

"Jay are you ok? Why did you facepalm?" Zane asked, bringing all the attention to me.

"I'm just an idiot that's all" I answered finally turning my full face towards them.

" Ok first, your not an idiot and second why did you facepalm tho and why are you saying you're an idiot?" Nya asked with a voice full off concern. I hate to worry her.

"I just realize something...who the heck is my real mother?"

Silence washed over everyone, and all my honorable family member's faces turned into looks of deep thought.

"You don't have to answer, I am just realizing I have no clue who my real mom is. I only know my dad." I said trying to diffuse the tension and turning my gaze forward once again. 

When I looked forward I could see my 'parents' junkyard coming into view. Finally!

"Let's go, guys!" I yelled while flying ahead of everyone taking the lead towards our destination.
