Chapter 1-Picking up where we left off
Zane's P.O.V.
A power source... I need a power source. My body was now compete, looking almost exactly like it used to, or at least I think it used to. White-blond hair and yellow skin, yes, how it used to be. I liked it a lot, but I was still so alone. I missed the company of the others, Jay's laughter, Nya's smile, Lloyd sense of being, Cole's witty humor, and even Kai's temper.
A power source. I knew that the easy part, the body, was done, I would still needed something to power me. "What did my father use?" I questioned. I had begun to talk to myself much more after my fiasco a few days ago. I glanced at my blueprints. It only gave instructions on how to get to the Birchwood Forest. "Why would my father do this?"
Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door. I knew it was the rest of the team. I missed them so much! "Zane!" I heard Jay yell. I ran down the stairs, and I was soon encased a hug. Every one of the ninja was there. Jay, Nya, Cole, Lloyd, and Kai. Then I saw a figure in the door. "Pixal," I breathed. Echo Zane stepped up behind her. "Echo Zane!" I said, running up to them both. I gave them each a hug, knowing that I would never leave them again.
"Now, how are we gonna find that power source of yours?" Pixal asked. I was shocked. "How did you know?" Pixal smiled. "I knew that you would have already finished your new body. And thus you would also need a new power source." Jay waved his arm. "Then let's go!" He was about to jump out the nearest window, but then he stopped. "Uh, where exactly are we going?" The rest of the group laughed. "To the Birchwood Forest!"

"Where is it? I know it was here earlier." Cole brushed the snow out of his hair. He turned around. "There!" He yelled. The group of friends burst through the old door of the tree. "My father's symbol," I whispered, lightly touching the engraving on the door. The others ran down the steps.
Kai took a deep breath. "Haven't been here for a while. How did you know it would be here?" he said, picking up a copy of my blueprints that was laying on the floor. I shrugged. "My blueprints said that my father got it here." Kai squinted his eyes, reading the page carefully. "Your right Zane, there is a map on the back. It's somewhere in the Birchwood Forest."
"But where?" Jay asked, his head and hands deep in a drawer. I saw Nya smack him across the back and scold him. "I have no idea. I don't recall that he left us anything else," I said. But then again, I don't recall anything, I whispered myself.
Cole and Kai had left the room by this time. "Hey guys," Cole called from upstairs. "It's dark out." Nya looked up, alarmed. "It's nighttime?! That's crazy!"
"That's not what I was looking at. Come here," Kai said, pointing out the door. I ran up the steps. We crowded around the door, trying to see something in the darkness. Then I saw it, a small blue-white glow coming from a cave in the distance.
"How come I've never seen that before?" Jay asked in awe. "Let's get a closer look." I took Jay's arm, knowing that he would be scared to go. Sure enough, he started to fight back. "I-I don't want to go. It's creepy in there!" I gave him a scolding look. Nya did the same. "Grow up, now come on!" She took Jay from me and ran ahead.
The glow became brighter as we got closer. "Zane, do a scan." I nodded at Cole's voice. The scam revealed that there was nothing alive in the cave, but there was a faint presence of other life. "Nothing, affirmative. It is completely safe," I reported. We stepped into the cave gingerly.
The others gasped. This was a cave full of glowing rocks.
