Chapter 10-Lost
Jay's P.O.V.
I went down to the dock, with only one thing on my mind. Nya. I hoped everything would be fine. I didn't want to go alone, I've been singled out way too much lately. "She'll be safe Jay, you've done this a hundred times," I muttered to myself. I went up to a small building. A girl looking to be about the age of eight came out. "Hi Mr. Ninja. Your friend was just here!" she exclaimed excitedly. Her eyes were distant, and I noticed that she had a Kai doll in her hand. "Where did you get that?" I asked, bending down. She held out her doll. "The robot ninja came by and bought it for me." Zane! I thought. "Can you tell me where he went?"
The girl nodded and pulled me toward her mother. "Hi there blue ninja. What's going on?" The mother acknowledged me with a wave. I waved back shyly. "Hello, can you help me find my friend?" I asked. "You mean the robot one?" Nindroid, I corrected internally. "Yes," the woman murmured something to her daughter. The girl nodded and took my hand. She led me to a small village. "Thank you little girl," I said, smiling. She turned and ran off.
I saw a flash of silver out of the corner of my eye. Zane! I peeked my head around a corner. "Zane? Are you back here?" I saw a metallic fist being raised. "Woah woah! What's wrong?" I asked, raising my arms. "Don't look behind you." I heard the voice from the shadow's say. I was wearing my casual clothes, so they didn't know I was a ninja. Another joined the party, "Yeah. Unless you wanted to a triple beating." I raised an unseen eyebrow. "Oh no! Triple threat?" I felt a knife being held close to my neck. Okay, maybe that made me a little nervous, but not much. I felt a hand reach for my pocket. "No touchie!" I said, with a hint of laughter. "What do you mean, 'no touchie?' I can do whatever I want to."
"No you can't." I retaliated. I pushed myself free, much to my attackers' surprise. I swung my fist as it connect with one of their faces. Slowly, I brought them out into the sunlight. Now I could see their faces. One had long blond hair and another had long brown hair. In the back, I could see a huge burly man with short brown hair. I smirked. This'll be an easy fight, I said to myself. Suddenly, the men looked past me. I was confused for a second, until I turned around.
My eyes met with a metallic blue. "Echo Zane?" I said, stunned. I looked to the person next to him, a near twin, and saw my dear friend Zane. "Zane!" I called, hugging him. "Your alive!" He straightened. "Jay, look out." I ducked and he swung over me. "Your reunion's over!" the burly man shouted. "End this quickly? Or stay and say we trained?" I asked Zane, laughing. "How about we just end this quickly." I nodded and started to spin. "Ninja-Go!" I yelled. My Spinjitzu tornado encased me.
A few seconds later, I heard a cry. "Surrender!" I stopped and gave Zane and Echo Zane high-fives. "So what was that about?" I shrugged. "It was a person who steals stuff from others." Echo Zane looked confused. "Why would one steal from others to get what they want?"
I laughed. "It's how they were taught. Or maybe, it was because someone hurt them." Echo Zane opened his mouth again, but I silenced him with a hand. I turned to Zane. "Why did you run away?" Zane shied away from me. "Because, I was afraid." I blinked. "Afraid? I thought you couldn't feel anything since you got your knew body." Zane nodded, along with his brother. "Yes, but, have you ever had that feeling? The feeling that you need something, more than you ever needed anything. I need a new body." It dawned on me. He needed something, just like I needed a motivation, a new invention, or even Nya... "Yes Zane, I've felt that too. I don't know if the other ninja have, but I know that I have. I needed Nya more than anything else in the world. I needed to be loved." Zane expression began to brighten up. "I need a new body, a new form, I have already entered the next stage in life, and this is the transition."
"Will you help me Jay?"

Ooh! So climatic! What's gonna happen? Is this the end of Zane's quest?
Nah, not really. You know what's going to happen. Or do you?
Is this chapter interesting? No. Will I be asking the same questions? Yes. Do you like Echo Zane's new look? Should I make the chapters longer? Should I even continue this? Any other questions that you guys might have I'll try to answer.
Thanks for reading and please review!
