Sky Pirates' Air Djunk "Misfortune's Keep"

Commandeered by the cruel and ruthless captain Bono, this traditional Ninjago-style djunk had seen many a battle at sea. Sailors shuddered in fear when the orange sails came into view, and often jumped ship right away, for mercy was only seldom to be had. The two skeleton dragons at the bow of the „Misfortune’s Keep“ could set any ship ablaze in seconds if surrender wasn’t offered to Captain Bono and his pirates. When Brixton started trading with Ninjago 150 years ago, he found the Brixton fleet to be easy prey. King Kirk of Brixton was furious, obviously, and sent the third fleet of his royal armada out to capture or kill the Captain and destroy his ship. Captain Bono had never seen anything like the monstrous dreadnoughts. When Admiral Beaufort Bell graciously presented the pirate with the options of a trial before his Majesty’s court or of being put out on a solitary island, Bono chose the latter. Both options meant certain death, but he wanted to spare himself the shame of bowing to a foreign king. The „Misfortune’s Keep“ was subsequently blown to pieces, while Captain Bono watching the scene in horror.

But that was a long time ago when shipping was still mainly done at sea.

When Nadakhan roamed around Ninjago looking for a crew for his own pirating, he found the bleached skeleton of Bono. On a rock nearby he had written his last three wishes in his own blood before he died.

1. I want my ship!

2. I want my crew!

3. I want revenge!

Although Nadakhan was not sentimental, necessarily, he thought it to be a nice touch to add the ghost and soul of the infamous Captain to his crew. And so he revived the skeleton with a touch of his djinn blade, offered him to rebuild the „Misfortune’s Keep“ and promised him final revenge on the Brixton crown.
