Chapter 12-Returning

Nya's P.O.V.

"Dinner time!" I yelled. Jay was the first to come running up the stairs and into the kitchen. "Thanks!" He grabbed a bowl and scooped some of the soup into his bowl. I watched, snickering as he wolfed down the entire thing by the time Lloyd came around. Cole and Kai sat down next to each other, with Lloyd, Misako, and Wu on their left.

We had finally adjusted to life without Zane once again. We weren't all as happy as we could have been, but at least we were together. Last time... The words rang through my head. Last time was a bit different, last time, I had broken Jay's heart. I mentally face palmed. I should never had listened to that stupid machine. I realized that I still hadn't given Jay my apology.

I shook my head. No time to think about the past now. But you have to apologize. "Nya, come here and sit down." I heard Jay's voice. I turned to him, surprised to find that I had a bowl of my own on the table, along with a spoon. Jay smiled. "Thanks."

About half-way through a laughter filled dinner, we heard a knock. "I'll get it," Lloyd stood up. He walked over to the front of the ship. I heard a very loud gasp. The rest of the ninja and I ran over to him.

"P-P-Pixal?!" I stuttered. "M-My friend! Your alive!" I hugged the girl machine as hard as I could. "Nya!" she cried. I felt the rest of the ninja crowd around Pixal and I. "Wow, I can't believe this is happening," I stuttered. "I can't either," Pixal stepped back as Cyrus Borg came out from behind her. "He did it, and I couldn't ask for anything better." Pixal's green eyes were shining.

There was an awkward silence. Pixal glanced over my shoulder. "But where is Zane?" She stopped. "He's not back yet? This is not good!" We could see that she was starting to panic. "Why?" Cole asked. "Because his gears will freeze if he's not warm enough! And it's almost winter!"

"He's never had issues before..." I said. "That's because I helped him!" Pixal pointed to herself, exasperated. I nodded. "We need to find him. The days are getting shorter and colder." Jay nodded. We all lined up on the edge of the ship, but Sensei stopped us. "You cannot leave now, it is almost 8:30. It will be too dark to see anything."

"Yes Sensei," we bowed our heads and went back to our rooms. My head was full of ideas on where Zane could be. Jay had said that he was still on the main land when he found him. Speaking of Jay, he had gotten to sleep in my room on Friday's, but today was a Thursday. Maybe tomorrow.

"Hey Pixal," I turned to the silver girl. "Where are you going to sleep tonight? I'm not going to let you sleep outside." We both turned to Sensei and Misako and I gave them a questioning look.

"Pixal, you can sleep in Nya's room tonight. Tomorrow, Miskao and I will go to town to buy you a new bed. Borg, you can sleep in the extra bedroom." I nodded. The extra bedroom had a bed that used to be Sensei Garmadon's.

We each went our separate ways and I waited for dawn to arrive.

"Wake up sleepy heads!" I heard a happy voice in the doorway. When my eyes flashed open, they were met by the one and only Jay. "Hi Jay," I said shyly. I looked around the room to make sure no one else was in the room. Pixal was gone. I yawned and sat up. "What time is it?" Jay smiled. "It's almost 9."

"Really? You guys must have already eaten breakfast then." Jay nodded. I had stayed up pretty late last night talking to Pixal. I asked her how it felt to be physical again and even went so far as to ask if she still liked Zane, it's a girl thing. "Of course," Pixal and Jay had both said the same thing. Pixal still liked Zane, and it was almost time to start making lunch.

I quickly got dressed and left my room. Suddenly, I stopped. I heard something behind me. Footsteps. I listened more closely, they were loud. This was robot. I turned around slowly, what would I find? My heart pounded, but I saw nothing. "Come out," I tried to muster up a firm voice, but I was afraid. I had nightmares a lot.

"Is this the Destiny's Bounty?" I heard a a voice ask. Wait, that sounded like... "Echo Zane!" I said, excited. I ran up and hugged the metal man. "Who are you?" he asked. "I'm Nya," I said, "and yes, you are on the Destiny's Bounty. You look, different." I stood back and looked over him. "Hmm... A good different. Hey, do you know anything about Zane?" He shook his head sadly. "I know that he is trying to rebuild himself, but I left him. And he's still on the island."

I took Echo Zane's arm and dragged him to the control room. "Your telling me, Zane's out on that island alone?" The man had a confused look cross his face. "Yes, we may need to get to him quickly." I glanced at my clock, 9:30. We can make it.

"Hey guys! Echo Zane's here!" I yelled to the boys on the training deck. I could see Jay's face lighting up as I spoke. Pixal was leaning over the edge, but she soon followed.

"He's convinced he's going to transfer his memories to his new body. How's that going to happen?" Echo Zane asked once the whole gang came inside. "He's still going to need a power source as well." Cole tapped his chin. "How does he expect to do all that by himself?"

"We'll have to ask as soon as we get to him. Let's go!"

"Wait!" Pixal stopped us. "What happens when we get him?"

"She's got a point, when we find him, what do we do with him?"

"What if we took a part of Echo Zane's power source and..."

"No no, we aren't going to take apart our friends Pixal."

"We would just need half of it to study and..."

"No Pixal. That would be mean. And rude for that matter.

"It's fine Jay. She can do whatever she needs to to get her Zane back."

"And your okay with it? I can't allow it.'

"It's not yours to allow."

"I guess your right." Jay hung his head. "We should get going now." I pointed to the clock on the wall, 9:45.

A flash of light and a growl of a dragon, we were off.

So a guest reviewer gave me a review (duh :P) on the last chapter, I might add Flintlocke and Doubloon in the story. I might have an idea on how to do it. The only problem would be that they were in separate realms and I don't want to make anything non-canon such as a realm that doesn't really exist.

Also, from this chapter out, I will separate the story in two. One of them will have my OC Kyla, and this one will continue in a different way without my OC. Thank you all so much for supporting me! Please tell me your thoughts!
