Ninjago: Crystal Guardian

By: NinjagoZ

Zane opens his eyes. He'd been having another strange dream. He sits up to see the other 3 ninja sleeping peacefully, no nightmares to keep them awake. The white ninja suddenly feels a sudden draw to the top of the ship. What good would that do? He wondered. The pull, however, refused to be ignored. Zane, mindless as a zombie, finds himself out of bed, climbing to the top of the ship. Against protocol, against every fiber of knowledge in his body, against his feeling that life would change for him forever, the Nindroid raced to the top silently.

His eyes glint a mysterious golden color. Wind from his movement changed the hair on his head. His face was paler than normal- was it the moonlight changing the color, or something else? When he glances in a mirror, he gives a startled gasp. Then his look returns to normal blue eyes, slightly tanned skin, and windswept hair.

As Zane reaches the top of the ship, an overpowering flood of guilt suddenly enters him. Realizing the trouble he was about to get in, he whirls back to the staircase of the Destiny's Bounty. A white shine mesmerizes him, however. It flows through the sky as a comet would, and ebbs into the trees. 'What is that? I... I have to know!' Zane lets his thoughts scream to him. The ninja had docked the ship near Skyward Citadel. As Zane crosses the wooden harbor, men, women, and children shriek in terror, and flee the Skyward Citadel as fast as their legs can run.

A young teen cries in fear, "Serpentine!" Zane feels anger flood him. The Serpentine had been entombed again, and got out. Real nice.

Zane yells at the top of his lungs: "Kai, Jay, Cole! We have trouble!"

Kai scrambles to the deck of the flying boat as Zane charges at the crowd of snakes. Zane performs spinjitzu and throws all the Serpentine into the dirt. As fangpyre surround him, the Nindroid feels a sudden peace. The snakes look so... Fragile compared to himself. They must be destroyed! A cold wind blows through the area, and Zane finds every Serpentine on the ground.

What had happened? A sudden dizziness overwhelms him, and he slips to the ground. Cole and Jay pick Zane off the dirt, and Jay fearfully whispers, "How'd you... Do that?"

Cole explains leisurely, "Zane, Sensei says no video games."

Kai just laughs, "Guys, remind me NOT to make Zane angry. Ever."

Zane looks at the other ninja, who, compared to himself, look like porcelain dolls. What had happened?

NinjagoZ: guys, this in my first fanfic. Lay off the insults, and I hope you like it. One question, though. What's going on with Zane?
