On The Bounty

The ninja plus Nya and Sensei were still going over the fact that Zane was a nindroid. They were currently in the kitchen, sitting at the table talking about last nights events.

Jay was telling Sensei all about it. "You should have seen him Sensei! It was the greatest thing I've ever seen!" Sensei chuckled and looked at Zane who had his head down.

"Is something troubling you Zane?" asked Sensei.

Zane lifted his head and looked at Sensei. He gave him a weak smile and answered, "It's nothing Sensei, I'm still getting used to the fact that I am a robot."

Jay quickly corrected Zane, "You mean nindroid."

Zane cracked a smile and excused himself from the table. He needed to clear his head.

Nya spoke up from her seat next to Jay, "I need to go shopping for new parts and groceries, would anyone like to come?" Jay's eyes lit up, but Kai gave him a death glare that immediately shut him up.

"I would like to go if that is alright Nya, I need some more tea." Sensei said.

"Of course Sensei! Do you want to leave now?"

"With the day going by so fast, I think it is best," he was now speaking to the remaining ninja, "As for you, take the day off."

The three ninjas cheered and ran off to their shared bedroom to plan out the day.

In Their Bedroom

The three excited teens walked into their bedroom to see Zane looking out the window. They stopped at stared at him. Concern masked their faces.

"Zane, Sensei says we have the day off. What do you want to do?" Cole asked as he tried to cheer him up.

Zane turned his head to look at his brothers. "It does not matter to me, but I could use some fresh air."

Kai said, "Well it's Monday and movie tickets are only $5 each. We should go, who knows Zane, this might clear your head. There are some funny movies that are showing."

Cole nodded at the idea, "I don't see why not, sounds like a good idea, what do you think Jay?"

"I think that they're playing Pitch Perfect! I heard that movie was hysterical!" Jay said happily.

Kai and Cole gave him weird looks, "Dude, we are not seeing that movie. I'd rather see Bridesmaids...okay maybe not that either."

Jay walked over to his bed and slumped down on it.

"How about we just go and see what they have showing?" Cole suggested.

"Sounds like a logical idea, it will save us time rather than standing here arguing about it." Zane said.

The four grabbed all the things they needed and headed off towards the Ninjago City Theatre.

At The Movie Theatre

They walked down the busy sidewalks towards the theatre, receiving some fangirl screams along the way, nearly getting hit by numerous cars trying to out run them.

Eventually, they arrived outside the theatre that had all of the movie choices on a flat screen TV.

"Wow, this place is rich." said Cole as he was admiring the screen.

"Yeah, oh look! 40 year old virgin! It looks good."

"Jay, that movie is inappropriate in so many ways." Kai said.

"Whatever."

Meanwhile, Zane was looking at the posters that were on the ticket booth. He skimmed through row by row until one caught his eye. It had a picture of a monster with wires sticking out, acting as arms, while one was holding on to a man that appeared to be screaming, and another one holding a woman who was dead.

Zane realised that it was a robot, just like him. He stared at the creature, asking himself if he would ever become this. Cole noticed his shocked expression and signalled the others to look as well.

"Hey Zane whatchu' lookin' at there, whoa," Jay saw what he was looking at and realised why Zane was so shocked. "Zane this is all fake, you know that right?"

"Will I become this? Will I turn into a monster?" Kai quickly shook his head.

"No Zane, like Jay said, this is fake. None of it is real. Now, let's see a comedy to take your mind off of this, okay?"

Zane nodded, and Cole finally chose the movie. The Hangover.

The four bought their tickets and food. They headed for their seats, and chose four all the way at the top. As they took their seats, the movie started.

Throughout the movie, the other three, minus Zane were laughing their heads off. Zane didn't get why some people would act like they do in the movie. It sure did get his mind off the monster though.

When the movie ended, Jay got the popcorn and dumped it all over Cole when he wasn't looking.

"Argh! Why would you do that! Aw man, now I smell like butter." Cole shook his hair and kernels came flying out of his hair and bangs, one of them hitting Kai in the eye.

"Ow! Watch where you whip your popcorn hair!" Kai yelled.

Cole sheepishly smiled and apologised.

Zane smiled at his brother's silly arguments, he knew he was lucky to have them.

"You comin' Zane?" Jay asked as he was walking down the stairs and out the movie theatre.

"Yes." Zane said, and they all walked out together and back the same way they came.

As they walked past the ticket booth once more, Zane saw the poster and stared at it.

"Hello? Earth to Zane?" Kai was trying to get his attention.

"Sorry brother, I just can't seem to get my mind off of the creature." Kai sighed.

"Well, we'll just have to help you forget sooner or later, but for now let's head home. Sensei and Nya are probably wondering where we went."

They started walking towards the dock where the Bounty was once again.

In Their Bedroom

The boys got ready for bed, and one by one they fell asleep, all except for Zane. He tossed and turned, thinking about the horrifying creature. Even from the advice of Jay and Kai, Zane still felt connected to it somehow.

In the other bunk bed, Cole heard Zane shifting constantly and sighed. He sat up and looked at Zane, who was looking at the sea through the small window by his bed.

Cole whispered his name. Zane snapped his head in Cole's direction.

"Zane, you need you're sleep. I care about you and you'll forget about this eventually. Please."

Zane sighed, "Okay Cole," Zane laid back down, "Thank you."

Cole smiled and sat back down as well, "No problem bro, just go to sleep."

Zane drifted off to sleep, and so did Cole.

In The Morning

Zane woke up to the sound of Kai jumping off their bunk bed and walking to the bathroom. Zane sat up and was greeted by Jay, who was playing on his handheld PSP. A christmas present from the other ninja and Nya.

"Good morning Zane, how'd you sleep?"

"Okay I guess, and you?"

"This matress feels like rocks at night, but like a cloud in the morning, sooooo okay I guess."

Zane chuckled at his answer, and walked over to his dresser, getting clothes for the day.

When Kai finally walked out of the bathroom, they exchanged smiles, then Zane took his morning shower.

When everyone was ready, they said that they weren't hungry at the moment, so they agreed to train first to work up an appetite, then eat.

On the Training Deck

Sensei agreed and watched them train, along with Nya who was in the sidelines cheering on Kai and Jay as they sparred each other. She didn't choose sides, but kept in mind to cheer for Jay more.

After Jay was pinned down by Kai's arm, he squirmed but he couldn't break free, he lost. Jay stubbornly got up and walked to Nya, "Nice try Jay."

Jay blushed, "T-thanks N-nya." They were both blushing now.

Zane smiled at them as he walked towards the center to spar with Cole.

As they got into their positions, they did hand-to-hand combat for a few minutes, then Cole took out his scythe and swung at Zane.

Zane saw his action and grabbed his shurikens, holding them out in front of him, about to shoot ice at Cole's arm to stop the blow.

Cole was expecting Zane to block, so he swung hard, but then he saw Zane not shoot and his scythe made impact with Zane's abdomen, sending him flying into the water.

Everyone stood up and ran to the edge, but they didn't see Zane.

Cole yelled, "ZANE! Zane! Oh man."

He climbed over the edge and dived into the water in search for his brother.

Everyone's eyes darted all around the water while Cole was searching everywhere until he saw Zane floating unconscience about two feet underwater.

Cole swam up to him and pulled Zane onto his shoulder, everyone became worried because Zane's eyes were closed.

Cole eventually made it to the ship, and he climbed up the anchor with Zane on his back.

Everyone surrounded Cole as he laid Zane onto the deck.

"Zane! Wake up!" Cole shook Zane, then started giving him CPR.

Zane opened his eyes and started violently coughing up water, holding his chest in extreme pain.

"Zane! You're okay! You really scared us, I thought you would never wake up-ow!" Kai slapped Jay in the back of the head.

"What he means is that we're happy you're okay. What happened back there?"

"It seems my elemental powers are not working at the moment. What is going on Sensei?"

"It seems that with you're current emotional distress, you're powers have been affected, but I'm sure this won't last long, so don't worry Zane." Zane smiled.

"I'm sorry Zane, I shouldn't have swung so hard, I thought that you were going to block, you could have drowned."

"It's quite alright brother, it is not your fault."

"Man, all of this excitement really makes you hungry." Jay said from his spot by Nya.

Kai had volunteered to cook , so the others walked into their room and talked for a while until they heard Kai yelling for everyone to eat.

The three walked to the kitchen and sat down in their seats. Kai started passing around plates of bacon and sausage, soon followed by waffles, which was Jay's favorite.

"Yes! I love you Kai! This is so good!"

Kai laughed and answered, "Haha, I'm glad you like it."

Zane smiled at his family and drank some of his orange juice. He looked at Kai who was serving himself, and froze at what he saw. The monster from the poster was behind Kai. Zane would've yelled, but he was frozen with fear. Kai saw his stare and turned around, and started yelling.

The creature used one of its wires to grab Kai's arm and pull, sending him closer to the beast. More wires started to wrap around his body and mouth.

"KAI!" everyone yelled.

Cole jumped up from his seat and grabbed Kai's hand, pulling as hard as he could as the monster pulled Kai through the wall. Eventually his grip slipped and Kai went through the wall and disappeared.

Cole frantically turned to look at Nya who was clinging onto Jay for dear life along with Sensei who was staring at him with wide eyes, and Zane who was as white as his ninja suit.

"That was the monster from the poster, Zane why is it here? What does it want with us? Why did he take Kai?"

Zane slowly looked at Cole, "I-I do not know." His breath was shaky as he realised, his worst fears were becoming reality.
