Chapter 9: Water - Time to figure out why Zane wanted water! Also, I didn't have many answers to the recaps so i'll keep doing them unless some people complain.
The ninja sat in a circle again, but this time Zane joined them. Everybody had mini conversations while Zane wrote like a mad robot.
"I sure wish Zane had his voice," said Kai impatiently.
"Me too, any ideas on fixing it?" asked Cole.
"I could take a look," said Jay.
"You'll destroy him," said Kai casually.
"Hey!" complained Jay.
An argument surely would've been created if Zane finished his plan at that moment. Unable to talk, he tapped his pencil on the floor to get everyone's attention. When he had all eyes he flipped the notebook back to the first page and held it up.
"The plan is simple. First I have a question. Who will be the best at begging?
The group looked at each other.
"Well," said Cole, "Jay would drive the guards crazy, I'm really bad at begging, Kai would end up attacking them and Lloyd would most likely get in an argument. Zane can't talk so that leaves… Nya,"
All eyes were now on Nya. Zane finally tapped his pencil again and flipped the page.
"Good. That person must beg the guards for a glass of water." it read
Everybody looked on the verge of laughing. Zane had to tap his pencil once again to regain everyone's attention.
"I have thought my plan through. Do it now." it read.
Everybody got out of their circle formation and scattered around the cell. They all put on their best bored face and just sat there. Nya coughed a little and then walked to the bars.
"I WANNA GLASS OF WATER!" she screeched as high and loud as she could.
"Well that's one way to do it," whispered Kai to Cole.
One of the mechs who were guarding was surprised at this sudden noise. It sprung up and did a salute. When it remembered what she said it went to the other guard and barked orders.
"Get water," It said.
"Why?" asked the other guard.
"Because I said so," said the first guard, "Now do it 6,"
The mech called 6 left the room only to come back shortly with a glass of water. Nya snactched it from his cold metal hand and started drinking it. She knew Zane needed it for his plan but she was very thirsty. Zane, who was at the other side of the cell, widened his eyes. Seeing this, the ninja frantically started motioning at Nya to stop. Eventually she got the message and stopped when the cup was half way drained. When the mechs stopped looking at her she went farther into the cell. The group formed a circle again. Zane flipped the page and held up his notebook once more.
"I will use the water to distract the guards. Then I will take the lead. Just follow me."
"Wait," said Jay, "why can't we just use our true potential to break the bars or the mechs?"
Zane flipped to a clean page and wrote a response. He held it up.
"I scanned them. They are invincible to our elements. Anyways, are you ready?"
The ninja and samurai all stood up and lined up at the door of the gate. Zane, however,
was not. He was at a different part of the bars with the water. He walked back and forth a little while pretending to sip the water. Then he faked a trip and threw the water on the guards. Then he bent down, put his hand through the bars, and picked up the key that fell after the mech did. The ninja all stared with wide eyes. It was so simple! Zane unlocked the door and burst off running. Alarms went off immediately. Zane led everybody to a cell close to the elevator. He swiped a ring of keys from a wall, zipped inside the cell, waited for everybody to get inside and then locked the door. The ninja couldn't help laughing as the mechs tried to get them from the other side. One mech left the scene, surely to get some extra keys.
"Wow, they are so secure they can't even get through!" said Jay.
"What's next Frosty?" asked Kai as the 6 settled down.
"I do not know," read the notebook, "we have exactly 10 minutes to plan that in here,"
There we go! Whew, glad that ide is down. Anyways, mini-recap time! Zane used the water by splashing it on the mechs. The ninja all ran into another cell where they are safe for 10 minutes. They need a plan on what to do next! DUN-DUN-DUN! Alrighty, that's enough of my blabbering. HAVE A NICE DAY/NIGHT!
