Zane looked around. Which way had evil him gone? Ninjago city was huge. It could take him hours to find anyone without a general direction as to where to look. There were hundreds of streets allies and buildings where his evil self could hide.

Hide…the one thing Zane had done so many time even before becoming a ninja.

This is me, he realized my alignment towards or against my friends would not affect my decisions in direction. With that he simply began going to way he would go. And Zane would stay away from the main streets. He'd go where there were few people. And he'd keep going until there were as few people as possible. Basically it was going from smaller street to smaller street. Small meant less people.

Sure enough eventually he found himself. His evil self was tucked between two buildings. Zane remembered he would often hide in places like these when he was on his own and trying to escape someone who meant him harm. Now for the first time he saw what others saw when they passed him by. Zane could certainly say this. In the times he had done this he could not have looked less like a powerful seer. In fact he simply looked pathetic.

Zane wall jumped to the roof so he could watch his evil self without being spotted. He lay down his eyes peering over the edge of the roof positioned so he could quickly draw back is needed. From there he watched and listened.

"Stupid ninja," his evil self muttered, "They laugh at me the whole time I know them but when it comes to actually doing me harm, they are wimps. They should fight like the ninjas they are."

Zane eyes went wide. Why was his evil self so angry? What had the ninjas done?

"I guess I'll have to just attack what matters to them most: Ninjago itself." evil Zane continued, "That'll prove to them my true power. That the side I have chosen is the one they should choose if they plan to reach their true potentials."

True potential? Sensei Wu had spoken of this from time to time but had never truly told the ninjas what he meant. Only that it was the peak of the ninjas' powers and physical strength. It apparently was something great.

"This power…it can control so many. Why shouldn't it. They want them safe from Lord Garmadon's control. The safest place would be in another's control." Evil Zane growled to himself, "I'll enslave Ninjago…I'll force those ninjas to join me…no one will stop me."

Zane lay flat on the roof he was on. He couldn't believe his ears. He now had more questions than ever. The biggest of these was what had gotten into him. Zane would never wish harm or control onto innocents and especially not onto his fellow ninjas. Yes, they laughed at him at times. But they were his closest friends and had stuck with him through things others had abandoned him to face alone.

That was it! His friends had to be the solution to this. His friends had to remind Zane that they were on his side whether or not they agreed with his ideals. That alone would break through to the real Zane, if any of that Zane remained in the body he had been watching.

But how could he tell the ninjas that? He was only watching this happen.

"These are my closest friends," Zane told himself, "They know me better than anyone and have known how to help me in the past. They will discover this fact. I just have to be patient."
