A/N: Nope, I'm not dead! :3 I am sure that someone will get the reference from the Chapter's title...

Chapter 20 ~ Servant Of Evil

At first, Zero and Cole blocked Zane's attack, but the nindroid was stronger, and kicked the Earth Ninja's stomach, sending him to a beauty-decorated wall. Setsuna tried to attack, but at the same time Ice was seen on her bow. She let go of it, when it turned interally into ice and broke.

Then, it was Jay's turn. The second ninja that was the closest to him, actually. He got Zane's best punch, and as the blood fell from Jay's cheek, and hit the glass table, as a vase fell on his head. The lighting master's yells of pain echoed through the room, as Lloyd charged with his golden power, and Zane charged back with ice, and, surprisengly winning against the golden master.

"H-How this can be...?" Lloyd weakly asked, as blood started to fall from his forehead. "Did you got stronger... or did I got weaker?"

Kai closed his fist. He couldn't handle watching this.

Zane then got a knife from his pocket and raised it at Zero, who was fallen on the floor. He closed his eyes, but then looked to see a certain Red Ninja standing in front of him.

"You'll only hurt him if passing through me!"

Kai shouted, his arms open in front of the water ninja. Amber eyes staring at the gray ones, which were a little bit of turquoise, that almost couldn't be noticed.

"You... you traitor!" Zane shouted.

"Who you're calling a traitor?" Kai's eyes were filled with rage. "As from where I know, you betrayed your friends, the ones you called brothers."

Suddenly a tube fell from a wardrobe. Tyler looked at it, it was the antidote.

"I found it!" He smiled with pure happiness, finally going to be free. "And there are lots more!"

"Why they did antidotes anyways?" Kaoru asked, raising a brow. "It's stupid to do an antidote where many people wanted it."

"Maybe if one of the serpentine were..." Hanako said, putting the essence of the tubes on big perfume bottles.

"Why are you..."

"It will be easier to spread the antidote like this. Didn't you both said that the poison activated by the touch on the skin? So then... the antidote may be like this too." The dark pink ninja closed the perfume bottle and borrifed it at Tyler and Kaoru. "So, how do you both feel?"

A good sensation flew on Kaoru and Tyler. Both were feeling the strenght that had two years ago. The determinaton. And weren't feeling a the verge of dying every second that they felt upset.

They were back.

"Good. Thanks, Hana." Kaoru said, jumping and hugging Hanako. "Now, let's save these people!" The yellow ninja smirked, and they got many tubes as they could, and went to the working station.

Carol and the others jumped from their hiding spot, and went on battle position against the sudden-huge-big-bunch of snakes that appeared.

"Four tribes. Four of us. Get the one you have an advantage. I'll get the hypnobrai ones." Carol said. "Fight is just like dancing. Close your eyes and feel it."

"I'll get the constrictai." Nya said. "Just feel relaxed."

"Fangpyre." Madison said. "They can't transform me since I'm with the antidote on my veins since two years ago."

"And I get the venomari." Shannon said. "Just do not be fooled and attack the mimics."

The four girls jumped, all of them charging at the tribe of choice.

Zane's eyes got turquoise by a second, but then turned gray back. Kai had noticed it. 'He's still there!' He thought, grabbing his sword that from black became silver, and the blade turning red.

"Zane! Wake up! I know you're in there!" Kai shouted, but all that Zane did was throw ice at him, which Kai blocked with his sword on fire. "You are really trying to kill me, right?"

Zane nodded, smirking. Zero got up and got in position, the shotgun that he was wielding turning into a Jitte*, it's top being light blue. Both then started attacking, but this time it was more hard to Zane to block their attacks, as it was two blades. Kai then got throwed, after a long battle, to the wall near the table that Jay fell on, and Zero converted his jitte on a shotgun, shooting at Zane. Unfortunely, Zane got the water jet and turned it into a huge knife, got Zero and threw him to the floor, pointing the knife at his neck.

"Why..." Zero this time was defenseless, but then when he noticed, there were tears on the nindroid's face.

"The king has one wish to be fulfilled

That the ninjas should die even if their blood is spilled

I shall answer back to the wish that he speaks

But I'm without clue why my tears here are falling down my cheeks..."

Zane suddenly said, as Zero looked at the icy knife. Zane just couldn't do it. He felt that the ninjas weren't the enemy, but Pythor was.

The water ninja touched the knife, as his hand suddenly became cold. Zane then threw away the knife, looking at Zero, which was becoming cold second by second.

Without even noticing, Zane was hugging his-soon-dead brother. The ice was getting effect on Zero's body, since the weakness of water was always ice. Suddenly, with a low voice, the Ice Ninja started singing.

"You're my brother and I'm a brother of yours

We met a long time from the start, but fate got us torn apart

I promised in protecting you from everything that hurts

But I couldn't fulfill it, and I am the one to blame..."

Tears fell from his face, more and more, as Zero was about to truly meet the death on ice.

~End Of Chapter~

A/N: I actually put the song "Servant Of Evil" there, but I changed a little the lyrics to fit the moment. Should I, one day, write a full one? It looks nice to change a little the lyrics...

Why I took so long? Easy, my friend showed me about "Hetalia" and I really like it, and the idea on my head, I forgot! But now I remembered and ran to write it here!

*A Jitte, (lit. "ten hands"), is a specialized weapon that was used by police in Edo period Japan.
