So this will be another one shot in relation to the story before, but it will have it's own plot and not be apart of the other story. I only put them together because it was easier to have the two stories in the same place. I suggest that you go and read Information Underload part 1. It will make much more sense if you do.
Also to give you some back story, I'm pretending that Zane got into a really bad car accident when he was younger which caused him to need cybernetic implants to make him function better. This maybe a story for later but hopefully you get the idea. So you'll hear mentions of Zane's Nindroid side and his human side. This is what is referring to as I say it.
Also a very special thanks to It'sYourGirl for helping me edit and come up with ways to make it more fun for you guys! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the sequel! :D
A week and a half after Zander Attacked Zane...
"This just in. There was a breakout at Kryptarium prison. We don't know who it was that broke out or who helped, we only know that it has happened. We caution all the citizens in and around New Ninjago city to be aware of your surroundings at all times..."
"Ah! Come on! It was just getting to the good part!" Jay had turned off the TV because the local news station interrupted a show that they were all watching.
"Well at least it didn't cut the entire show out like it did the last time," Kai playfully punched Jay in the shoulder.
"Yeah! I still have the bruises from that tantrum you threw," Cole rubbed his left shoulder in mock defense.
"You would punch something too if a show you liked to watch constantly got interrupted," Jay crossed his arms and dejectedly huffed his way to the back of the couch.
"Speaking of interruptions, shouldn't Master Wu and the others be getting back by now?" Kai stood to walk to the nearest window.
"I don't know, they said they had to go pick something up from the store. And you know how girls can be at stores," Jay waved a hand in the air dismissively, turning his head in the complete opposite direction as Kai was standing.
"Yes I do, which is why I'm going to spend the rest of my time waiting out in the training yard," Cole stood up and walked outside to the backyard. Since they found the place, they decided it was fit to equip the place with training gear. It was much like the gear they had back in the monastery where they all met. Except this one was much bigger.
"Boy I wish Zane was here to join us," Jay clapped his hands over his mouth in surprise. That thought was supposed to be to himself. But blabbermouth him decided to spill his thoughts to the world.
"No need to act so surprised, Jay," Cole swung his scythe out toward a training robot that was coming his way, "We all wish he was here."
They all sighed and then went into their training routine. All wishing that their brother was well enough to join them.
Hours later...
"Haha! I got you!" Kai had grabbed Cole's leg, which caused the Master of Earth to fall flat on his back. The three of them had been sparring for the last hour and finally Kai emerged victorious.
"Wow! Kai since when did you get that strong?" Cole took Kai's outstretched hand and hoisted himself up to his feet with it.
"I've been doing some weight training every now and then," Kai flexed his muscles, however minuscule they were.
"Ha! You'll still never beat me when it comes to full strength!" Cole flexed his muscles and if trying to prove a point, lifted Kai above his head with just one arm.
"Hey! Put me down!" Kai wiggled, which caused Cole to drop Kai flat on the ground.
"Looks like I win this one pal!" Cole started walking towards the door that led inside, "Now whose thirsty? Drinks are on me!"
And Jay and Kai were quick to follow Cole inside, making quite the racket on the way in.
"SHHHH!" A loud hush came from somewhere inside.
The three of them froze in the middle of the doorway.
"What did we do?" Jay whispered as loud as he could.
"Be quiet! He's asleep!" Master Wu rounded the corner as quietly as he could and pointed around another corner to the living room on the other side.
"Whose asleep?" Kai crept forward to try and locate the person in question.
The three ninja went as quietly as they could to the living room and were surprised to find someone sound asleep in the living room on the couch. The person was wearing a white t-shirt and jacket and was covered in a big, bright, neon blue blanket that covered him from his feet to his waist. White shoes also sat discarded on the floor next to the couch. His hands were folded neatly against his stomach and his head resting on the back of the couch. He was sound asleep, only indication of the man being alive was the rise, fall and the sound of his breath leaving and entering his body.
"Is that..." Kai had to catch himself from running straight into his friend's arms.
"Zane!" The other two finished Kai's sentence.
"Is this why it took you so long?" Cole walked closer to the Nindroid.
"Yes. That and the girls had to stop by some shops on the way home," Sensei Wu chuckled to himself at that last statement, followed closely by chuckles from the others, "We also had a hard time persuading Zane to go to sleep so that we could get him here."
"Let me guess, he kept on insisting that he didn't need sleep because he is a Nindroid?"
"You know how he is with those sort of things," Wu walked further into the room to join the others.
"Well then how did you get him to go to sleep?" Cole sat down on the part of the couch that Zane didn't occupy.
"Nya and I distracted him enough for Pixal to get into his head and turn on his sleep cycle."
"Wait he has a sleep cycle switch?" Jay grew more and more excited about the new things he was learning about his brother.
"If I catch you three messing with it, I will personally make sure that you do all his work for months on end as punishment."
Jay groaned. Silence then filled the room for a bit as the four listened to Zane's breathing for a bit. It hitched every now and then, but to everyone's relief it remained as steady as it could be in the condition Zane was in.
"Why is he in here and not his room?" Jay just realized that and pointed down the hallway of the place they were staying to further indicate his point.
"I was told by his doctor not to allow him to lay on his back for a couple of days. Also, I wanted to surprise you three."
The three of them crowded around their friend. Although they couldn't show it for fear of waking Zane up, they were pleased to have him home.
"You may stay here with him but do not disturb him. He needs all the rest he can get," Sensei began walking out of the room, "I'm going to go find the others, let me know when he wakes up."
The other ninja continued watching Zane sleep, some surprised at how long his sleep cycle was. But soon one by one, the others, exhausted from the earlier training, fell asleep right beside him.
Sensei Wu, followed closely by Nya and Pixal, rounded the corner to find this scene.
"Well it looks like the surprise worked," Nya walked over to Zane and adjusted the blanket on top of him to where it was now up to his shoulders. Zane shifted slightly at the feeling, but soon quieted down while simultaneously he let out a sigh of pleasure.
"Aww! Well I hope this makes Zane feel better when he wakes up!" Pixal walked over to Kai and laid a blanket over him.
"Let them rest. I'm anxious to see which one of you are going to beat me in that game you purchased."
"Oh, it's on Sensei!" Nya ran into the other room, leaving the four-ninja sound asleep.
But unknown to all of them, Jay's hand had fallen on the television remote and had accidentally turned it on. It was still on the news and soon the sound of the reporter filled the room.
"I just received word of the identity of the person who broke out of Kryptarium prison was none other than Zander Snow. This man had attacked one of the ninja about a week and a half ago and now he's loose again. I've also received word that he wasn't the only one that has been broken out as well. Anyone who spots them, please contact the authorities! Do not engage him!"
And then Jay accidentally hit the remote again turning it off.
Hope you enjoyed this little snipit! There are more parts to come so don't worry about it taking forever for the next part! But I hope you enjoyed this and please stay tuned for more!
