Chapter 1

'Ship'

A flash of light, and a rumble off in the distance. The pale blue glow illuminated his cheeks and nose as he woke up to the sounds of the storm. Rolling onto his back looking up at the CDs that swung lightly as the air conditioner vent blew onto them. It caused the bright flash that followed to cascade the room into his very own light show. It only lasted but a moment, but it had a beauty all its own.

Zane reached up letting the bright flashing to illuminate his hand as it happened. He smiled to himself watching his own personal light show.

'Its beautiful.' Pixal whispered as she too watched it. She could see it through his eyes. Having lost her body a year ago now.

"Yes it is." Zane said watching as the lights flashed again. Yet the rumbling began to get distant.

He closed his eyes again only to be rocked awake not to long after. Zane looked over his shoulder at his father who was pulling some clothing from the closet and lightly placing it into a suitcase.

"Good morning Zane." He said. Zanes feet hit the cold floor.

"Good morning father. May I ask why I am being woken up early on a Saturday? Is there something wrong?" He asked seeing the suitcase. "Are we being kicked out!?" He seemed to be running in place pulling off his night clothes to reveal his Gi underneath.

"Oh nothing so savage son. No...we are going on a vacation. I told you about it last week." With all the attacks going on he did forget that they were due for a leisurely vacation for a week. He smiled and nodded his head.

"Zane! Todays the day." He ran into the kitchen having dropped his luggage by the door. The hyper nindroid threw open the fridge.

"Drink the rest of the milk you two. Or it'll be bad when we get back." Julien called and put Zanes suitcase by the door.

Echo looked into the cereal box and pulled out a toy and smiled. "Haven't you got that one already?" Zane asked.

"No…" Echo said sticking out his tongue.

"Echo! Where ever did you learn to stick your Glassa out like that?" He asked. Echo flinched.

"I bet it was that new kid you've been hanging out with." Zane said. Echo looked up and growled.

"So what. Bud and I are good friends and he's nice to me."

"Nice...or using you?" Zane growled out putting some blueberries on his cereal.

"Hey! Don't eat all of them!" Echo once again hitting his rebellious streak. Zane sighed looking at his brother for a moment. Echo growled his eyes flashing another color completely.

"Echo you are being rebellious at home again. You know how I feel about that." Zane tried. Echo balled up his fists and stomped his foot.

"So what! Its not like you and your friends don't run off every chance you get and forget me. Its like we're not brothers anymore." His lip poked out and he crossed his arms.

Zane sighed looking up at him.

"Echo please. This vacation was desi…" Zane tried to plead with his brother. He understood that being a ninja pushed Echo away, but he wanted to protect his little brother which was why he left him at home to be protected by there father.

"No! I wish you weren't my brother." It felt like a brick hit him hard on the face. Julien walked out of the bathroom just in time to see Echo run by and slam his bedroom door in there face. He looked up to see the horrored look of his son.

"Zane? What happened?" Julien asked. Zane just shook his head slowly looking back down at his feet.

"Nothing...nothing I didn't see coming in the first place." He said.

Julien jumped feeling his phone vibrate. He answered it with a smile.

"Good afternoon Arch...oh Cyrus?" He nodded his head walking around the kitchen making sandwiches. "Oh that will be great! Zane...go down to the R and D lab now please son. Mr. Borg has a surprise for you." He asked.

Zane walked out of the apartment that was actually within Borg Tower. Most of the higher ups like the main engineer like his dad stayed close just in case something big happened. Which it almost always did.

'Zane he didn't mean it.' Pixal said. Zane shook his head.

"He always means what he said. I didn't mean to push him so far away that he'd want to let go." He sighed walking into the elevator. "R and D lab please." He told the computer. He began to go to the 18th floor.

He was so deep in thought he didn't realize the door had opened and Borg had greeted him warmly. Even held out his hands. He only registered that the man was in front of him when he took his hand.

"My boy...are you quite alright?" He asked with his usual gentle voice. The look of concern written all over his features. Zane looked up at him.

"My brother just disowned me." He told Borg. Borg laughed and shook his head.

"They're always doing that I'm afraid." He motioned for him to follow. "I'm afraid I can't fix your relationship with your brother...but I can fix something else." he said motioning to the silver body on the table. Zanes face broke into the biggest smile he could ever have. If it got any bigger than it already had then it would split his head in two.

"Pixal look! Your new body!" He said. His smile was huge and fixed on Borg.

"Well sit down Zane. Lets get her into this new body." Borg motioned to a chair. Zane rushed over and practically jumped into the chair. Borg couldn't help but laugh. He reached behind Zane and pulled Pixals small slim hard drive. He watched as Borg placed it into Pixals head smoothing her silver hair back down. Zane quietly stood up and walked over to her. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked around the room.

"Zane…?" She asked. Zane smiled down at her and nodded his head. She ran her fingers over his face. "Its good to see you again."
