Jay's turn!

(Jay's POV)

It was finally my turn to hang out with Zane. I was so excited. It has been 20 years since any of us has seen Zane. From what the others told me about Zane he seems to still be wary of us but he has been getting better. In fact, he is just like our kids back home. He just wants to have fun and be a kid but he can't. The others told me that he seems too concerned about the dragons to even be a kid. Maybe I can help with that, after all I am the fun parent. "Zane! Zane, where are you?" I called out. "Over here. Umm, Jay, right?" Zane asked. "That's me. The coolest ninja around and that's not because of my color." I joked. Zane laughed a little. "Right. Well, thank you for bringing the food and medicine for the dragons. You and your friends have been very helpful." Zane told me. "You're welcome, Zane. We know what it's like to be responsible for major things like this." I said. Zane smiled. "Thank you, but I don't know how long all of you can keep coming here."

"What do you mean?" I asked him feeling a little scared. "You all have helped me and the dragons greatly but..." He started. "But what?" I asked nervously. "I fear that the more all of you come here the greater the danger the dragons and I are in." He said. "Danger?" Zane nodded. "Yes, dragons can provide things that can be useful to both humans and hybrids that are years ahead of what you currently have in Ninjago." I nodded. "Okay, but what about you?"

(Zane's POV)

I really wish Jay didn't ask me that question. I would have to half lie to him. "My knowledge of the dragons would put me in danger. I know everything about the dragons. How to use what they have and how to make it without dragons." I may have only half lied but I can't tell him the truth. I trust them but I don't fully trust them yet. Jay nodded. "Well, we can protect you. I know people who would be willing to protect you and the dragons."

"It won't be enough. There are many dragons here who hate humans. Many dragons who fear humans. Dragons who were once captured by humans and were tortured for months even years. I am sorry but I don't mind you and your friends visiting but just don't do it as often as each of you have been doing. One of you has come every week. I don't want to see my friends get hurt." I told him with a bit of fear and sadness in my voice. Jay put a comforting hand on my shoulder. I flinched a little but I don't think he noticed. "Zane, I am sorry. Us coming all the time must have really put a lot of stress on you. I will talk to the others about not coming as often." I looked at him. "Thank you, Jay. Now I really must get this medicine to Blaze and Flare. You can stay here while I do that."

I started to look around and the others were right. The dragons here are amazing. I wish Zane would let us help more but he is right. The dragons need to be protected by why? I thought dragons could protect themselves. Maybe there are people who know about the weaknesses of dragons. "I am back, Jay. Are we doing something together? For the others, I did something with them." I nodded. "Yeah, I actually brought some electronics for us to build something."

"Like new technology?" I nodded. "Yeah, I figured you might want to try it." I said happily. "Well, I don't know the new technology very well since I never leave the forest or the dragons. But trying it and learning more about it sounds nice." Zane said. "Great." I set my bag down and both Zane and I sat near each other to see what I brought. "I brought all kinds of cool stuff that I thought you might like. I even brought stuff to build a robot." I told him.

Zane smiled a little. "That sounds fun. How do you build one?" Zane asked. I was a little speechless at first but I shook it off. "Have you never seen a robot, Zane?" I asked. "No, I don't know anything about technology. I didn't grow up around that kind of stuff." Zane told me. I found it weird that Zane didn't grow up around all this technology but I guess Zane's parents weren't comfortable around it. "Zane, did your parents like technology?" I asked as I took out everything we needed for the robot. "I don't remember."

"What do you mean you don't remember?" I asked. "Well, as I have told some of your friends earlier. My parents are gone. Please I don't want to talk about it anymore." Zane said sadly. "Okay. So, building a robot is pretty easy once you know what you are doing. First you need to know what you want him to look like or her." I started as I took a piece of paper and a pencil out. "How can a robot be a male or female? I thought they didn't have emotions." Zane said. "Actually, they can be male or female and they can express human emotion. I should know I have seen one myself." I knew that I had to be careful since Zane doesn't know that our friend was a nindroid. "How? Did you build it or did someone else?" Zane asked.

"The father of one of our friends used to build robots and he built one with human emotions. He was amazing but unfortunately, he is gone. Both of them are." I said. "Oh, I am sorry. So, building robots?" I smiled.

Later that night

(Zane's POV)

"I won't lie. Building robots was fun but very confusing." I told Jay. "Don't worry about it. When I was your age, I was confused about technology till I turned about 15." Jay told me. "Thanks, Jay. Though technology is not really my thing. Dragons and my ice powers are what I am really good at." Jay nodded. "Yeah, well, after building that robot I'm pretty tired. Good night, Zane."

"Good night, Jay." Then I waited for a few minutes till my sensitive hearing could tell that Jay was asleep. I went to check up on all the dragons. I know I do this every night but I have to. It makes me feel comfortable and it makes the dragons feel comfortable that they can see me before they go to sleep. I went back to my bed, sat down, and pulled the photo out of my pocket. "Hello, again. I hope that both of you are well. Where ever you are." I sighed deeply. "I wish I could talk to both of you. But I built a robot. He seems cool. My robot that is. It's not very good but I had no interest in technology. My dragon friends are more important to me. They are my family. I still think about both of you every day. I love you. Good night." I put the picture back into my pocket, curled up into a ball, and went to sleep.

The next morning, Jay left the dragons home not knowing this would be the last time any of them would see the dragons again for a long time. A figure pulls out his walkie talkie out and speaks into it. "Sir, great news. I have secured the location of the dragons and the rare hybrid brat. It seems the ninja will not visit again for quite some time from what I am hearing from the Blue Ninja. Your orders?" He waited for a few minutes. "Come back to headquarters. We will prepare now and attack in the morning. Thanks to those ninja, we have located the dragons and their eggs even the hybrid. If we fail with the dragons, we can just capture the hybrid. And force him to reveal the dragon's secrets to us."

"Understood, sir." Then the figure left his position so that the next morning they can attack the dragons and Zane.

The next chapter is sad and scary. I was thinking about it and I was about to cry. But that is how I wanted to make the story. See y'all later. Don't forget to fav, follow, and review. If I can get at least 5 or more reviews, then I will post the next chapter in two days. Guests can review as well.
