Heylo! I'm back and actually alive. I'm starting school next week so I should have more of a schedule for updating. I'll let y'all know when I decide on a final schedule! Aaaaanyways, this story is about Zane's recovery in the infirmary after his fight with Mr. E. (R.I.P Mr. E btw) Anywho, please give me more prompts! I love everyone's ideas! I'm starting to get low on prompts. If I run out I'll have to write my own prompts... and we don't want that.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Lloyd POV

Kai shone the light to the ground. Nothing yet. It was hours ago that we had revived Zane's signal. He was close, we were right on top of his signal. That's when the the light hit something metal in the sand. It was Zane.

We panicked and started to descend on our ropes. Once I hit the ground I called his name. "ZANE?!" When he didn't respond I ran to him. I grabbed his side and fretted, "Zane? Zane can you hear me?"

Nya looked over him. "What did they do to him?!", she gasped.

Jay and Cole then ran up next to us. He was still unmoving. "Say something Zane!", Jay pleaded, "can you hear us? Zane!"

I turned and yelled up to the bounty. "PIXAL! LOWER THE GURNEY! ZANE'S IN BAD SHAPE!"

Seconds later the gurney lowered. Cole and Jay ran to it and helped lower it. It took seconds, but it felt like hours before they unhooked it.

I looked back to Zane. "Hang on buddy.. Hang on!" He still wouldn't respond. His eyes were completely void of life and color. It was eerie and brought back bad memories.

Cole and Jay ran the gurney over and set it next to Zane. We lifted him onto the gurney. He was limp and never powered on.

I looked up and could barely see Kai's worry ridden face above. He moved the light over to the cables so we could attach the gurney. We hooked it up as quickly as we could.

"Okay! Lift him up Pix!" Nya called.

The gurney began its slow rise up to the bounty. I sighed. I just hoped that my brother could make it out of this one.

BREAK LINE*

Zane POV

Everything hurts. My head especially. Not to mention my chest. The last thing I remembered was falling. Then... something with Mr. E. It's all a blur.

I hear voices. Who it is that is talking? I don't know. It feels like the time I had defeated The Overlord. The time I had... died. It hurts to think about.

I know where I am. I'm in my mind, system, program, or whatever it's called. I know because it's cold, lonely, but safe. I can still feel pain, but not as intense as it should be.

"I must have been damaged...", I say monotonously. Everything is different in my mind. It's emotionless. I believe it is because my heart contains the emotions that I emit.

I pulled up a systems check and ran it through my body's functions. "My Neural Net and Cognitive Core seem to have failed. So have many other programs." I sigh. This just means I have a LOT of work.

I move the systems check and start messing with my repair systems. Most of the work can be done by the repair systems, but some had to be done manually.

I closed the repair "tab" after it ran its course. It was time to go to my heart. I needed to check that all systems were working so as I wouldn't leak life force. Sighing, I moved my mind's body to my heart.

A blur of emotions attacked all at once. Anger, fear, sadness, surprise, trust, happiness, and contempt all overloading my senses. I grasped my head as it pounded. I could feel my pulse quickening. It took a few minutes before I was able to calm my emotions to a bearable level.

I then quickly moved to check my systems. The overwhelming emotions are terrifying. I always wonder if this is what humans feel like. The unbearable amount of emotion. Depression, anxiety, being hyperactive, and rage are only a few examples of what I'm feeling now.

I concluded that everything was fine in my heart, so I left quickly. As soon as I entered my mind, the emotions disappeared. It hit me like a brick. The sudden disappearance of feeling is somewhat sickening. Then again.. I can't really FEEL the sickening thoughts. They're just thoughts now.

I sigh. My repairs are nearly done. I brought somewhat of a firewall along with me as I make my way down into my lower body. I had little damage in that area, but it was still damage. I made my way to the damaged area and started repairs. I finished within two minutes. I was still confused. I could feel something else. Something felt... different.

I turned from the previously damaged area and started towards my mind so as I could gentle restart my systems and wake. That's when I saw it.

'It' was a deep purple sphere floating near a few wires and switches. That when I realized, whatever it was was also inside my systems. I created an even stronger firewall and made my way towards the sphere. As I grew closer, I could sense it turning. I saw eight deadly red eyes staring at me with hate.

A large spike, that resembled the leg of a spider, rose and came down on the firewall. It instantly shattered. My mind was flipping as I realized was liable for attack. The leg rose once more, and barreled down onto my mind's body.

I was in darkness for a few minutes. Everything was dark and cold. Then I felt myself waking up. I was freaking out as my systems and functions activated. How could the dark spider sphere turn me on? It didn't make sense!

I accepted the transition from mind to reality as I heard a scream. It was Nya.
