(A/N: Happy New Year from Australia. Hope 2019 is better)
The Tournament of Elements was officially over as the Elemental Masters and their fellow prisoners had now taken control of the island and are currently destroying any means of getting off the island. They had also managed to rescue Jacob from the dead snake's stomach.
Out by the jetty, Chen's blimp had just been deflated as the Elemental Masters and prisoners cheer about it. "Yeah!" Spider yelled, giving Griffin a high five before raising his arms in the air.
"Sink the ferry." Jay said.
"No one's getting off this island." Gewuji said.
Bolobo held out his staff out as vines soon surround the ship and start to break it apart so it would sink as everyone cheered. "Alright!"
The cultists members growl and protest, in anger, as Patrice soon hit one of them in the chest. "Put a cork in it!" He yelled.
Nearby, Cole, Geoff and Magna came up to Lloyd, Kai, Jay, Zane and Gewuji. "The palace and sleeping quarters are all clear." Cole said. His face was now completely clean shaven.
"Still no sign of Chen and Clouse." Geoff said. His face was also completely clean shaven.
"What about Skylor?" Kai asked.
"Like Geoff and Gewuji, she wasn't able to pick her family, but she was able to pick her friends." Lloyd replied, placing a hand on his shoulder. "And since you're her friend, that means so are we. We'll find her."
"He's right." Cole said.
"With no way off the island, it'll only be a matter of time." Magna said.
"I'm proud of you all." Oni said as he came up to them. "You've done what. The original Elemental Masters never could: stick together." He then turned to the Sanders siblings. "And Geoff, Gewuji, offsprings of Tania River Sanders, your mother has redeemed herself in the form of you two."
"Thank you, Master Garmadon." Geoff and Gewuji replied, bowing down to him before he faced the others.
"But you must not rest on your laurels for your guard is down when you sleep."
In the jungle, Karlof and Blake, who is now in his Samurai X gear, hair shortened to the style of his father's and beard trimmed shorter, were working on Jay's mech as most of the vehicles, Roto Jet and DB Express were all nearby. "Why take this apart now?" Blake asked, looking at one of the buggies. "There's no problem with it."
"Sorry." Karlof replied.
"The island is secure." Nya said at the front of the DB Express as it showed Dragon and Misako on the screen. "We destroyed the Elemental Staff and Chen's attempt to turn his army into Anacondrai has rolled up snake eyes."
"Good work, Nya." Dragon replied.
"How is Zane?" Misako asked.
"He's good." Nya replied. "A little different, but then again, aren't we all? And Blake is okay as well."
"The Bounty is nearly finished." Dragon said as Blake came into the DB Express and came up behind Nya. "As soon as it's done, we'll come by to pick you up." Zane's falcon soon came at the screen.
"Well, I look forward to coming home to see not only my father, but you two as well." Blake replied. Zane's falcon soon tapped at the screen, in annoyance.
Nya soon laughed. "He meant, you three." She said before the screen is shut off and she turned to Blake. "I heard from Geoff that you rebuilt Zane. I don't know how to thank you for it, but how did you do it?"
"After Zane saved us from the Overlord, 6 months ago, I found something."
Over 6 Months Earlier
As Nya and P.I.X.A.L. were crying for the loss of their friend before Nya hugged Cole, Blake knelt down to the ground. "I found out it was a part of his heart." Blake's present voice was heard. Blake then picked up a small piece of Zane's heart and sees it pulsing a little. "It was like Zane was still alive in it. That's when I decided to rebuild him. But since I didn't have the original plans, I decided to make a new version, made of titanium."
During the next few days, Blake looked through Nindroid parts in the scrap pile. Later on, in a lab, he welds the recovered parts together and has now made an exact replica of Zane's head. "The day of his funeral, I didn't want to go because I thought that it would be the day he comes back. New and improved." Blake looked at a small machine before putting the heart piece inside it which the machine started and liquid came out into a mould plate, forming into something, similar to Zane's heart. "I rebuilt his heart and decided to revive him, in that new body."
Blake comes into the room, where a motionless Zane was, who was now made of titanium and his chest was open before holding the heart up. "Time to meet your new body, fellow Ninja." He said before soon inserting it. The chest closes up and Zane's eyes, which are now blue, immediately open. "Hello, Zane."
"At the same time, P.I.X.A.L. came in."
P.I.X.A.L. soon came into the room as Zane sat up and saw her behind Blake. "Are we compatible now?" He asked her as Blake turned to see her and was immediately shocked.
1 Month Later
Blake, carrying some components, entered the room where he saw someone, in a cloak, carrying Zane and P.I.X.A.L., who are in a cart. "Hey!" He yelled.
"Then a month later, someone broke in." Blake's present voice was heard. The man turned, pulled out an M1911 and fired as Blake quickly knelt down to avoid the gunshots.
"See you around, loser!" The man yelled before he ran out of the room while pushing the cart.
"That's when I had to go after him. If word had gotten out that Zane was alive before I could reveal him, it would've been a disaster." At the jetty, Blake, wearing his Samurai X gear, hid behind some barrels as he saw the man giving Heianmofa the cart with Zane and P.I.X.A.L. in it before Heianmofa placed it on the ship before handing the man a large sack of money.
"It should be enough for you, mercenary." Heianmofa said to the man before shaking his hand.
"Pleasure doing business for Master Chen." The man replied as he soon walked away.
The moment the man walked away and Heianmofa turned around, Blake stood up, pulled out one of his tonfa and prepared to ambush Heianmofa, but soon felt something on his back. "Hold it right there, samurai." Textilis was heard as he had a rifle, pointed at his back before Heianmofa turned to see Blake and laughed.
"So, this is the famous Samurai X." Heianmofa said. "Take him."
"That's how I spent the next 5 months on the island." Blake's present voice was heard as Textilis forces Blake onto the ship while Heianmofa took his tonfa.
Present
Nya was frowning as Blake sat down. "Why didn't you ask for our help before you left?" She asked.
"I did. But here's what they said to me." He cleared his throat a bit to explain. "'If there's a problem, deal with it yourself.'" He imitated Kai's voice. "'I'm busy on my new show, why not ask Cole?'" He then imitated Jay's voice. "'Geoff and I are currently in the middle of recording our songs, so forget it.'" He soon imitated Cole's voice. "I knew you were busy, making plans to rebuild the Bounty, Lloyd was living a normal life and my father would get suspicious if I told him." He talked in his normal voice.
"I'm sorry I didn't ask before you left."
"No hard feelings. I just didn't want to tell you guys about Zane until we could've found him easily."
In the hallway, Kai looked at Leo, the very first sword that his mentor James forged, as it was on the ground before he immediately picked it up as Oni, Geoff and Gewuji came up behind it. "Your mentor's sword." Oni said as he looked at the symbol. "I recognised it the moment I grabbed it because you were the one who gave me the scar on my chest."
"Well, Chen obviously has no respect for the dead." Kai replied. "But he is right. A sword isn't meant to rust on a statue. I will keep holding onto this until it breaks. Then, I will make a new blade and put it back on the statue. So that no one will take it again."
"Good to hear." Geoff and Gewuji soon look at a photo of Heianmofa when he was younger, with their mother as a 5 year old Geoff stood next to his mother and an infant Gewuji was in her arms. "Your mother is the same as the day she betrayed the Elemental Masters."
"She told us all about it as Gewuji grew up." Geoff said. "Saying how she regretted making the decision. But, I told her that if she didn't do it, we wouldn't have existed. Before I left, she told me to give a letter to Master Wu. It's amazing that it had been years since then, he didn't recognize me until he saw my power."
"He told me about the letter as you were training under me. And seeing you, you may have looked like your father, but you have your mother's eyes and hair colour. I'm sure wherever she is, she's probably proud of you."
"And I get the feeling our father is responsible for our mother's death." Gewuji said.
"Why do you think that?" Geoff asked.
"Because the day he told me she died, he didn't cry, nor grieved. He just continued on as if he didn't care."
"I'm gonna get that bastard."
"I'm sure you will." Oni said. "But know that fighting won't bring your mother back."
"I know, but I hope to send him to wherever mom is so she could deal with him herself."
