Chapter 3:
Answers:
"Alright Sensei, Why is Zane a little kid now, and why is he so afraid of you?" asked Kai
"It starts many years ago, almost a thousand years ago now. It was me, Garmadon, Zane, and our older brothers, Jason, Christopher, And Kaylor. The original masters of lightning,earth, and fire respectively. One day, I had started to tease him, I was a horrible brother to Zane, I was always pushing him, taking what he wanted. I would push him, scream at him over something little. One time, he just wanted me to read him a story, but I said that if he couldn't read it himself, then he was too stupid to understand it. I was the one to make him a nindroid. Zane was running from me when Garmadon called us down for dinner. Zane had stopped and was just starting down the stairs when I pushed him, I only wanted to make him stumble, I hated him for taking mom away from me, but I pushed him to hard, and he fell all the way down the stairs. He-I broke his neck. When he fell, he snapped it on the stairs. Garmadon was furious with me and so were the others. I had killed our only link to mom but father was able to make Zane into a nindroid. They made a plan to raise Zane away from me, and Garmadon would go with him. Garmadon was always the most protective of Zane due to a promise he made our mother before she died. Zane was only four when he became a nindroid and four year olds usually fear those they do not trust. That was the day he lost all trust for me and now that he has become a human again as well as the age of four he is terrified of me for what I did to him." said Wu with a guilty look on his face
"Well that explains why he is so scared of you but not why he is a kid again" Said Cole
"I have a theory on that. It is possible that the memory of that day was so powerful for Garmadon that he remembered his promise to mom, and seeing Zane hurt the same way he died, must have made all the evil disappear. His love for Zane must have triggered something that made Zane revert back to a human at the exact age he was last. Garmadon was Zane's favorite brother because Garmadon was the one who treated Zane the best. In his eyes Zane could do no wrong and that is why I got so jealous. Zane was only a toddler and didn't understand why I disliked him and why his other brothers loved him." said Wu
"Ok so now we know who Chris was but who the heck is Skylar?" asked Kai
"Skylar was Chris's wife and the first master of water. Why do you ask?" said Wu
"When we went after Zane he said something about Jay leaving Nya alone because history repeats itself so we asked him why and he said to ask you about Chris and Skylar"
"Well like I said Chris was the first master of earth and Skylar was water. They were also husband and wife so it appears that Zane thinks that Nya and Cole would make a better couple than Nya and Jay" said Wu trying to suppress a laugh at the idea of his four year old brother trying to play match maker.
"WHAT!?" screamed all the ninja at once and causing Nya to blush profusely.
"Ok sensei so your saying that Zane is your four year old little brother who you killed over a thousand years ago and he is now trying to set Nya up with Cole" said Jay Wu just nodded and said
"That appears to be what is happening but I wish no more reminders of that day when I tore our family apart. Zane has Ice powers like our mother did and he is the only one who could see her after she died. That is where his sixth sense come into play. Zane was such a mommy's boy and was our only link to her. I blamed him on our mother's death because she was protecting him when she got killed by a serpentine." said Wu sadly
"Should we go after them or Not because now we don't have a white or green ninja" said Cole
"I don't know" said Wu he was slightly embarrassed by the fact that he had to tell his students that he had killed his own little brother.
