The last thing I remembered was flames everywhere, the scared look in that little boy's eyes, and the feeling of a light breeze. My body felt heavy and my chest hurt, but I still forced my eyes to open.

The first thing I noticed was the dark infirmary at a hospital. I didn't mind it much, the peace was nice, and it was welcomed that I had no pressure to act like I was fine. I could move at my own pace. But, yet, I still wish that someone would have been there. My eyes closed again as I prepared for what I expected to be a painful movement, but found it as a pleasant surprise when the pain never came as I sat up.

It was at that moment that I decided to push my luck and swung my legs to the side of the bed before setting them down on the cold floor. I took a deep breath and stood up, finding my legs would hold me with no problem, making me wonder how long I had been out for. I would have expected at least soreness after that tough day. Though, dwelling on the thought, I knew, would prove useless, the only chance to have my questions answered would be to find out from Jay, one of the only people that probably knew what happened.

I walked to the door, I was still very confused on why I was not in any sort of pain. Before I grabbed the door handle I heard a silent tap on the window, I looked back and saw my falcon. I walked over to the window and opened it.

He flew over to the bed I was sitting at, I looked over and saw me. I held my mouth trying not to make any noise. How is this possible? I walked over to 'me', I was hooked up to an i.v, a breathing mask and a heart monitor. Half of my face had been burnt by the fire. I looked at the desk next to my bed, it had a glass of water and a folder. I picked up the folder and opened it. It contained my blueprints, a blood test and an x-ray. I set down the folder and ran my fingers through my hair.

I looked over at the door, there was a dark figure. I walked back towards the wall away from the figure. It reached its arm over his head and pulled down the dark black hood. It shook its head waving its hair. It was a she, she had black short hair with a red streak of hair in her face, bright yellow eyes, and a long tight black dress.

She smiled at me, she saw me.

"Oh, sorry." She grabbed a giant sythe like Cole's but it had black and red markings on it. There was red writing on the side of the sythe.

"I am sorry to inform you but you are no longer alive. Do to your 'special' form it is harder to transfer you to heaven. So, you get 3 hours to prove that you get to stay at earth or go to heaven" I am not alive? I looked over at my heart monitor. It had a long line and a blank beeping sound.

"How do I prove myself?"

"We go and see your pros and Cons of your life." she walked over to me and grabbed my hands. She rubbed my hands softly before whispering something softly to herself. I closed my eyes and felt a light breeze blow past me. I opened them again, I found myself at an ally. Other known as my home.

I found myself staring at a 'younger' Zane. He was skinny, his hair hung in front of his face and was no longer at a boot cut, but down slopping. I remember this year, it was one of the worst ones.

The past Zane got up and walked past us across the street. A few guys walked up to me, they started to yell. I remember that day to well. I was growing sick and I needed money, so I decided to go with being a gang member.

I was with the ninjago Specialists. We were one of the worst, back then I used to be proud of it. I lifted my sleeve to reveal a black pistol with thorn vines around it. This particular night we were going to rob the mayor's house, to put our gang on the map. I agreed to help.

One of the members handed past Zane a black pistol. He hesitated before grabbing it and shoving it in his pocket. We followed him to the mayor's house, where we watched from a window. I watched the mayor sleeping in his bed and all of us grabbing random items and shoving it into our dark bags.

The guys ran out and ditched 'past Zane' while the mayor woke up. He grabbed a phone and started to dial 911. 'Past Zane' slowly took the pistol out and pointed it towards him. He noticed and dropped the phone with his hands up.

"Please don't hurt me" but it was too late. He pulled the trigger and shot him.

"You killed a person" I looked over at her.

"I didn't... It doesn't... I didn't mean..." I looked at her tears forming in my eyes. I was a criminal in my past life.

"I regret every moment" I slowly let my head hang down.

"Let's go to the present... so far your chance of survival isn't looking so good right now" I closed my eyes again and grabbed her hands. When I opened them again I saw the monastery, before I burned it down.

"You burned down their home" she said quietly. I watched another 'past Zane' being yelled at by my brothers. I lied about seeing my falcon. I knew it was my fault, it was all my fault. I almost didn't come home, but the time with my brothers was the best time I had all my life. I wanted to stay.

"I didn't want it to happen"

"Let's go" I closed my eyes and opened them again. We were at a fighting scene, I remember this day, and one of the snakes trapped Cole and held a sword to his neck. I jumped on the snake and started to punch him and stab him with the Shuriken. I remember the snake swinging me off and stabbing me in the arm with his sword.

"You look out for your teammates" I smiled. I would risk everything for my family.

"We have one more place to go" I nodded and grabbed her hands. I opened my eyes and saw the theater.

"You risk your life for the sake of others" she looked over and smiled at me.

"It's 50 50. But I see good in your heart" I smiled at her "this is your lucky day Zane. You survived"

I looked over and saw Cole and Kai run into the hospital, they franticly looked around looking for me. I walked over to them.

"Where Zane?" kai yelled

"he-he" I had tears forming in my eyes. "He is in the emergency room" Kai breathed deeply trying not to overreact.

"Why the hell would he do that?!" Cole screamed. I looked past him and saw a doctor walk up to us.

"Excuse me ninja. Zane is in the hospital room right now" he looked over all of us and saw that I was the only one keeping calm. Since Cole just screamed, and Kai started to cry. "Sir, can I see you over here real quick" I nodded and walked around the corner with him.

I had a bad feeling in my stomach, he put the clipboard on one of the little tables. "I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this but Zane, is in horrible shape." I covered my mouth and tried to hold in the tears.

"His lungs have blackened from the smoke. His skin has bubbled during the fire and some may contain infection. If he wakes up he is going to be in extreme pain. He can't even breathe on his own." I started to cry, I don't care if it's in front of people Zane was my brother. If he dies, the ninja's die with him.

"Can we see him?" he nodded. I walked back over to my brothers. Kai was holding his head in his hands, I could hear him cry from the door. I could see Cole's eyes start to water. I motioned my hand to follow, they both nodded and stood up. The doctor clicked the floor number and left. We entered the elevator

She dropped me off in my room. While I was gone, I was dead. The machine was already in a straight line and making a beeping sound. I walked up to the bed, I was covered by a white sheet. I heard a light noise outside of the door. I walked through the door and saw my brothers. Jay was crying on the ground not even bothering to sit up. Cole was punching the wall while the littlest of tears trickled down his face.

Kai was squatting against the wall, his face was covered but I could hear him start to cry.

Jay turned the silver knob in Zane's room. The noise hit me, almost knocking me off my feet. The beeping rang in my ears, it seemed to be the only noise in my ears. I ran over to the bed next to Zane's face. I grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard.

"Zane don't leave us" I screamed. Memories ran through my head. The first time we met, the time we drew on Kai's face while he fell asleep, when I got captured and Zane nearly lost a limb for me. I loved him (as a brother). Doctors swarmed in the room. They started to swarm my brother

"We have to clear the room" he said. He grabbed my shoulders and started to pull me off the bed "no" I yelled. I needed him to be ok. A couple more doctors came out and dragged me to the hallway.

What seemed like hours a doctor came out "I'm sorry to inform you but Zane did not make it" no, it's not possible. He was a robot, he was my robot.

I turned the knob to Zane's room, it was labeled 205. I soaked in every detail like a sponge. I heard a light beeping sound in my ears, I quickly opened the door and saw Zane. He was incredibly pale with devices hooked up to him. The beeping was loud and heart breaking. I walked quickly over to the bed.

Cole shook him rapidly trying to wake him up. He was gone, I couldn't believe it. I couldn't breathe. One of my brothers are gone, it was like someone was destroying my heart. I remember the good times with him. We would talk a lot about inventions and our past lives. He didn't have the best childhood, like me. We were always the odd ones out.

Doctors came in the room quickly they started to yell out orders. "You have to leave" the doctor said. Cole struggled before they could finally get him out the door. We all stood in the hallway. I texted Nya before the doctor opened the door.

"I'm sorry to inform you but Zane did not make it" I stopped at I'm sorry to inform you. I was stunned, I leaned against the wall. When I got my mind straight. I realized something, my brother is gone. I slid down the wall and cupped my hands over my face.

"No, no, NOOO!" I slammed the ground repeating. He can't be gone, HE CAN'T BE GONE! I slid towards the ground, I didn't care.

Jay opened the door, hospitals always creped me out. I could smell the death and despair. This didn't help me I watched everything slow down. Cole and Jay ran over to the bed. I stood at the door. Even though I and Zane were opposites in our elements we were good friends, we would play pranks on Jay, I remember when me and him was trapped by the snakes. Zane was the one to protect me. He was the only one who understood when I screwed up.

The doctors burst into the room, they told us to leave. Cole struggled before letting go. We were all pushed to the hallway to wait.

I looked over at Jay and Cole, they had tears forming in their eyes. Moments later the doctor opened the door.

"I am sorry to inform you but Zane did not make it" I broke down. I squatted against the wall and cried. I didn't care, we were all crying.

I grabbed the medical tape out of the ambulance. The firefighters almost had the fire out. The littlest of flames shone through the building. The building was completely destroyed. I wrapped the tape around a man's arm that was burnt. I saw lots of people hurt, burnt, and broken. One of the nurses walked up to me and tapped me on the shoulder.

"You can go sweetheart thank you for your help" I smiled at the women before jumping out of the ambulance. I felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket. I reached down and grabbed my phone in my back pocket. I got a text from Jay! I clicked the view button, and read it.

Nya, Zane is dead

I dropped the phone. This can't be happening. I fell to my knees. I remembered when I was crying when my dad died, Zane was there to comfort me. That's where we shared a kiss. We didn't tell anyone, but it was wonderful.

I started to bawl, our brother is gone, I didn't want to believe it, and maybe it was a prank, a cruel sick prank. I knew it wasn't though. He was gone it felt like part of my heart had left with him.

"NOOO"!


Zane pov

I looked down at my body, I smiled. I was alive. I stepped inside my body. It was a weird feeling, like stepping in water after being dry. I opened my eyes in my body, all I felt was pain.
