(Zane's POV)

The day I've been dreading finally came, and it came through one phone call. "Zane, I've got bad news. Cryptor was spotted in Jamanakai Village yesterday. He was gone before we came, but he left a note for you and Mel." Cole said. I glanced over my shoulder at her and the twins, Rosie was reading as Xavier played with Mel. I went to our bedroom, sat down on the bed and asked, "What does it say?" "Tell the two adult Nindroids to come to the Ninjago City Steel Plant before midnight Tuesday and I will call off the army. Don't bring back up or any weapons or you will suffer the consequences." Cole read.

My heart started pounding, he was still after us?! Last we heard of him, Mel nearly had a panic attack from one phone call. "Does it say anything else? What this army is?" "No, that's all it says. What are we going to do?" I took in a shaky breath, "I don't know. I can't tell if he's calling a bluff or if there's an actual army waiting to attack. I need to weigh our options before we decide." "Wait, are you going through with this?!" "I don't know. I need to talk to Mel about this." "You can't go through with this, Zane! I told you to warn you, not to sacrifice yourselves!" "I was built to protect those who cannot protect themselves. If I must do this..." I swallowed hard, "then I must." "We're not letting you do this!" "We have one day to think about this." "Zane don't-" "Cole, I'm sorry."

I hung up, I knew he was still going to stop me at whatever cost. I slowly stood up and walked back into the living room in a daze, Mel turned and smiled at me. "Who was that?" she asked as Xavier created another icicle, adding it to a small pile. "It was Cole. I need to talk with you in private." She nodded, got up and followed me to our bedroom, Xavier watched us curiously. As I closed our door, Mel sat down on our bed and asked, "What's wrong?" I took in a shaky breath, I dreaded telling her but she needed to know. "Cryptor was spotted in Jamanakai Village, he left a note telling us to meet him at the Ninjago City Steel Plant before Tuesday at midnight. Apparently he has an army ready to attack if we don't turn ourselves in." I rushed. She grew paler and started shaking, "Oh my God! What're we going to do?! What about Rosalina and Xavier?! We can't just leave them alone! What if he goes after them?! I can't let anything hurt our babies!" She started hyperventilating, I hushed her the best I could. "We still have a day to think about this, but if we do go through with this, then maybe Jay and Nya could watch over them."
