Hey guys! A little late in the day for a post but I was originally not going to at all. Mostly because I wanted to change this chapter but didn't have any time to do so. I was just going to, unfortunately, not post, but I feel like you guys deserve at least something. So here's what I decided to keep. I know it's short. Thanks for all the reviews, we hit the 80 mark! I remember looking at the first review, and now I'm currently looking at the 84. Thanks so much for supporting me. Let's keep going to 100!

P.S. Posts might be off schedule due to midterms coming up and the fact that I ran out of prewritten chapters. Sorry.

Thanks for understanding or not :P,

Cole started the scene before him. Chills went up to his spine as he looked down at his two teammates who were seemingly more dead than he was. At least he got remain on this earth, while if they died, they probably wouldn't.

"Oh no." Cole said running over to Jay, "Oh please don't be."

Cole grabbed Jay's wrist, checking his pulse.

"He's alive." Cole said relieved, "I don't know what I was thinking! I should have never let him do this!"

"Is Zane…?" Kai asked, walking over to the fallen Nindroid.

"He's shut down. I did it myself." P.I.X.A.L. sadly murmured.

"Set the course for home, please," Lloyd said.

"On it," P.I.X.A.L. said, the Bounty taking flight once more.

Cole looked at the both of them seeming so dead. He almost didn't want to touch them. Cole carefully grabbed under Jay's arms, pulling him off Zane. Cole grimaced at Zane's mangled arm. Some of the wires were sprawled out on the floor, but most were in a tangled knot.

Kai reached down and carefully picked Zane up, leaning him against the wall. Zane's dull eyes looked straight at him, and Kai couldn't help but drop his gaze. He reached over and wiped the drops of blood from Zane's clothes, trying to get it out before it stained. Even though he had tried to kill Jay, Kai couldn't hate him. They had been through so much together. Kai couldn't really blame Zane, he blamed Morro. He couldn't wait till the next fight; all he wanted to do was to make Morro feel how much pain and suffering he had put his team through.

Lloyd walked over to Kai, staring at their friend.

"He's really been through a lot," Lloyd said, crouching down and inspecting Zane's arm.

Lloyd couldn't help feeling a little relief that Morro had possessed Zane instead of him. As much as he tried to pretend that he didn't, he couldn't lie to himself. Zane took the bullet and now he was paying the price. "It should have been me." Lloyd thought miserably, pulling at some wires in an attempt to untangle them.

"We're here," P.I.X.A.L. said, shaking everyone out of his dark thoughts.

Sensei Wu, Misako, and Nya waited for them, expecting the worse. Nya wasn't sure if she wanted to look but, she steeled herself for whatever news they could bring.

Soon they came out of the Bounty, Lloyd carrying Zane and Kai carrying Jay.

"Is he ok?" Nya asked her brother.

"He'll be fine, he just needs medical attention," Kai said, smiling at her, hoping he was right.

Nya turned to look at Zane, his dull gray eyes scaring her, "Is…."

"No." Kai said, "He's fine too. He's just shut down."

"In here." Sensei Wu directed the ninja.

Kai and Lloyd followed him, carrying their brothers.
