Hello! Here is another chapter! Billy Jane, thanks for the review, and my favorite character is Zane, I love you ya stupid nindroid! Finally, the falcon is activated! Enjoy ;)
(Zane's POV)
"Today is the day!" I shouted with joy as I happily walked down the hallway.
"Dude, you have been saying that all day, can you tell us what you are so excited about?" Nya asked.
I smiled,"Okay, I'll tell you , but it has to be a secret okay?"
"We promise to keep it a secret." Jay reassured me.
"Okay, today in science class, my father is powering up a robotic falcon that we have been building!" I revealed.
"Wow! That is awesome!" Jay yelled,"Too bad I already knew." I wasn't surprised that he knew, my father and I have been going to his junkyard to get parts for the falcon, and his father might have mentioned a few details to his talkative son.
"Well, I've never seen a robot powered up, and I would like too!" Lloyd said.
"Okay, we have science after lunch, I just can't wait!" I yelled.
Meanwhile some sore losers were still upset about losing the battle of the bands, so they relieved some stress.
"Give me your money Dorketh!" Acidicus threatened.
"It's Darreth, and for your information, I need this money so I can buy lunch, and once I do that I will have the energy to defeat the evil gargoyles in the dark realm of Zincoffia! I need my energy for free period to play my GameJoy!" he said holding up his game system. The football players gave him a look that said,"DORK!" and took his portable game system as well as his money.
"I Darreth you to come back and fight me one on one!" he challenged with a a slight slur in his voice.
"I can't believe we lost to the losers who wrote our song!" Fangtom complained.
"Yeah, it seems like there's just not enough losers in this world to help us get our minds off of this." Skalidor hissed.
"Everybody just needs to shut up, I want to get to lunch without a migraine." Pythor was extremely pissed off. The football players walked to lunch starving for revenge.
(Lloyds POV)
After we ate, it was nice out so we went outside. We grabbed a basketball from the gym so Kai, Jay, Cole and I could play a two on two. Zane didn't understand how the game worked. We tried to explain the rules to him, but after about thirty failed attempts we didn't bother. Nya just preferred to read her book instead of getting involved in the game.
It was Kai and Jay vs Cole and I..."Game On!" I yelled after hitting the ball out of the air and dribbling it towards the hoop, only to be blocked by Jay. I faked before passing it to Cole who went for the hoop, but missed. I went for the rebound but Kai got it first. He went across the court, and around Cole. Jay called for the ball, but Kai took a shot at the hoop anyway, causing it to go through the net with a swoosh.
"Yea, go Kai!" Zane cheered.
"Why are you cheering for him and not Lloyd and Cole?" Nya asked.
"Well, it is only logical to do so. If we want the team we cheer for to win, then why not cheer for the winning team?" Zane explained.
"Zane that's not..." She found no point in arguing, she would just get another ridiculous explanation. They continued with their game until the end of lunch.
However, Pythor and his football Jocks spent the rest of their lunch walking the halls of the school breaking into lockers. "Anything valuable in this one?" Skalidor asked.
"Nothing that we could have any use for." Skales answered slamming the locker door shut.
Pythor was about to move group along when he saw something interesting in a classroom. "Hey, check this out!" he called to his group. Everybody gathered around.
"What is it?" Skales asked.
"I don't know, Fangtom?" Acidicus asked his friend.
"Don't look at me, Pythor spotted it!"
"It's not like I know what it is, but we're going to find out!" Pythor tested the doorknob, it opened. They examined it, a robot! They smirked, but how do you turn it on? Pythor found a panel in it's chest, opened it and switched the "ON" switch, and it immediately came to life. It acted like the animal it was modeled after!
"How do we control it?" Skales asked.
"Maybe this can be of assistance!" Fangtom held up a remote with a light on next to it's "ON" switch. He was able to make it fly! It's like a video game!" he shouted excitedly. He looked to his right,"These aren't lab goggles." he picked them up, and pressed a button, all of a sudden he was flying towards a wall. He shrieked before moving the falcon away from the wall, and making it land on his arm. "I see what the falcon sees! Do you know what we could do with this!?" he asked.
"We could have this entire school in the palms of our hands!" Pythor shouted in victory.
(Kai's POV)
Finally science class was here! I don't think I had ever seen Zane this excited before. We all took our seats and waited for Zane's dad to enter the science room. He entered with a smile on his face,"Okay class, today we are doing something special. Under this sheet is one of my son, and I's creations, it is very lifelike, so don't be alarmed." he informed us. "Zane, would you like to do the honors?" he called him to the front of the class.
He smiled wide, about to pull the tarp off off the bird. However, Mr. Julien was puzzled, he didn't remember putting a tarp on the bird. Zane removed the tarp and the whole class gasped.
A student raised her hand,"You made two robotic books!?" She asked. Instead of the falcon, in its place were two books that made it appear like the falcon was underneath the tarp.
"He's gone!" Zane yelled alarmed.
"Who could've done this!?" Zane's father asked with great concern. "The only ones who knew about this was you and me Zane!"
The color drained from the freshman's face. "Father, you and I were not the only ones who knew about it."
"Who else could've known about it?"
Zane frowned,"This morning I told my friends." he admitted.
His father frowned,"Could they come and see me?" We all stood up and walked to the front of the room. Everybody was looking at us like we had committed a crime, probably because it looked like we did. "Is somebody going to own up?" he asked. We were silent, completely silent. He sighed, all of you, to the guidance office.
I finally had the guts to speak up,"Guidance office?"
"Yes, the guidance counselor deals with things like this. The principle and vice principle deal with other matters, now go." we each got a hall pass one by one, Me, Jay, Nya, Cole, Lloyd, but then the moment that shocked everyone. He gave one to... Zane! Zane looked extremely offended, then made a face that made him look like he wanted to cry.
We took the walk of shame to the guidance office in complete silence.
(Lloyd's POV)
I felt like I was going to a prison lineup! We were in a single file walking in silence, I'm surprised that we weren't chained together! I think I would be less terrified if I was in an actual prison being charged, and sentenced to death for murder! The thing that made this so scary is that I had to face not a guidance counselor, but my mom!
The walk seemed to take forever, letting the anxiety make a nest in my stomach weighing me down.
Finally, we entered one by one, me coming in last. Once I came in, my mom gave me a look that was in between disappointed and a death glare. Otherwise known as the mom stare! We all sat down ready to face our doom.
"So, who took the falcon?" she asked strictly, yet calmly.
"We don't know, but it wasn't any of us." Jay told her quietly.
"Mr. Julien called me and said that you were the only six who knew about this."
"That is true ma'am, but..." Zane began, he wanted to clear his friend's names, but all signs pointed to yes, what if they did commit the crime!?
"But what?" she asked.
"Nothing." Zane shrunk down in his seat.
"Mr. Julien, you know the most information, tell me everything you know about the subject."
"Well, this morning while we were walking to history class I told my friends about the falcon. Once I told them however, Jay already had known for we had to go to his family's junkyard to get parts. We were all excited for it to be powered up! After we finished eating we played basketball until lunch was over. Then after lunch we came into the classroom and it was gone. My father said that is was on his desk before lunch, but now, it's gone." he explained his story.
"So it must have happened between the beginning and the end of lunch. Were you all present the entire lunch period?"
"Actually," Zane started,"Jay got up during lunch saying that he had to do something."
Mom looked towards Jay,"Mr. Walker, all signs point to you."
"What!?" he yelled.
"I'm sorry, but if you can't clear your name by Monday, then I'm afraid you will have to be expelled."
"EXPELLED!?" everybody yelled together. Jay was extremely upset, he just made friends, and now he might lose them again.
"Look mom, Jay is innocent, just tell her what you were doing during lunch Jay!" I yelled. However Jay was silent.
"Jay?" Nya asked.
"I can't tell you." he answered quietly.
"I guess that settles that." mom said before motioning for us to get out, I am the last to leave, but I hear, just above a whisper,"I am sorry son."
(Jay's POV)
We were chilling in Lloyd's finished basement. It was pretty cool actually, game system, bar area with fridge full of soda, cabinets with tons of snacks, even a dart board! Well, everyone was chilling except for me, I was freaking out!
"What am I gonna do!? I didn't take the falcon! If my name isn't cleared I'm gonna get expelled! You all believe me right!?" Everybody nodded, that is everybody except for Zane. "Zane?" I asked with hope.
"Sorry, I just have no reason to believe that you didn't take the falcon, all signs point to you." Zane sadly told him.
"If I had the falcon I would've given it back by now Zane! I would give it back, apologize, and everything would go back to normal! But no, I can't do that, do you know why? The reason I can't is because I don't have the falcon! Oooohhhhh, I am so hooped!" I felt sick to my stomach, otherwise known as an anxiety-ache.
"Jay, I believe you." Zane told him.
"Really?" Jay asked.
"Of course! I never really put those facts into consideration before, I apologize."
"I forgive ya buddy!" Jay forgave his blonde friend.
"Okay, now that whatever that was is over, lets get to work!" Cole announced. "Operation clear Jay's name is a go!" We put together information all night but couldn't find anything that would help us.
We pulled an all nighter, not caring that we had school the next day. In the morning we could find no other connections to the falcon and somebody else other than me.
We walked to school, it was Friday, only three more days. As we walked to our lockers we saw something swoop over us, the falcon! We chased it down the hall leaving our lockers open. As soon as we saw the falcon it disappeared just as fast.
We walked back to our lockers, but we saw a familiar group of five accompanied by Mr. Julien and Misako. We walked up to the small group. "What's going on here, mom?" Lloyd asked.
"Mrs. Garmadon, we have evidence that Jay walker is indeed the one who stole the falcon!" Pythor announced.
"Can you show us?" Zane's father asked. Pythor opened Jay's slightly cracked locker to reveal the goggles, and remote that went with the falcon.
"What! I didn't put those in there, I was framed!" Jay yelled, begging them to let him stay.
"Where is the falcon?" Mr. Julien asked. As if on cue, the falcon crashed right into Jay as if programmed to come to him.
"See you Monday Mr. Walker." Misako said walking away with the falcon, goggles, and remote.
Monday, we all knew it was coming. All six of us were in the office, along with Pythor and his posse.
Misako looked over, and signed a few papers. "This is it guys, this is goodbye!" Jay yelled with tears in his eyes. "You are the only friends that stayed with me! Zane, thank you for hanging out with me at the junkyard. Cole, I hope you and your dad's relationship stays strong. Lloyd, good luck with having all of the guitar solo's in the band. Kai, I'm sorry for stealing the other half of your sandwich!"
"Wait, that was you!?"
"Nya, oh Nya, I kinda always had a..."
"Wait!" a voice yelled. That voice belonged to the biggest doofus himself, Darreth. "I have evidence that Jay Walker did not commit the crime!"
"Well, tell us then!" Misako told the boy.
"Back at lunch on Thursday, I was going to get my game system back from Pythor and his friends. I had dialogue planned out and everything. I was going to say something like,"I Darreth you to give me back my GameJoy!" or something like that. However, I saw Jay Walker walk out of the lunchroom to witness Pythor's gang going through lockers! They told him that if he squealed that he would get the beating of a lifetime! Jay frowned, and ran back into the lunch room, with a worried look on his face. However, I stayed to finish watching them search through lockers when they snuck into the science room, and stole something! At first I couldn't see what it was, but now I know that it is the falcon!" Darreth explained.
"That's why I couldn't tell anybody, and I heard something going on in the hall so what I needed to do was investigate!
The friends were relieved, and happy that their friend wasn't going anywhere, but Pythor and his gang were! At least for a week. They had gotten suspended instead of expelled thanks to their football coach not wanting to lose five players, and having to use the people on the bench!
Jay's name was cleared, and Zane finally got to power up the falcon in front of the class. It was the most amazing thing ever seeing his eyes glow, and seeing him come to life as well, even if it wasn't for the first time.
You are all probably wondering whatever happened to Darreth, well he got his GameJoy back! However his battery died right before he won the final level, and he hadn't saved it, poor Darreth!
Hey guys, sorry for the short chapter! I wanted to get this finished today but I was too busy playing MineCraft.
