This is basically my interpretation of how my hybrid Zane met Clay, Jay, and Wu. Hope Y'all enjoy my story.

For Zane, life had never been easy. His parents were killed when he was a kit so he was put into an orphanage. He was belittled, bullied, and had gotten hurt by any and every human he had ever met. Needless to say, he didn't trust any humans since they always tricked or hurt him. Usually, hurt him.

He left the orphanage around eleven, after realizing that no one wanted him. He lived in alleys, junkyards, abandoned buildings, even the forest when they were close to a village. Since he ran away, he has lived almost everywhere in Ninjago except for cities and large villages.

For now, he lived near a village where hybrids weren't exactly welcome. At night, he snuck into the village and stole food from various garbage cans and dumpsters. It may have not been healthy but with his sense of smell, he was able to find the best food he could. This was his day to day life, he had gotten used to living like this but soon, not even he was expecting this to change.

It was just another day for him. He had left his old home since the villagers found out that he was a hybrid and he had acquired a new scar on his arm which took several days to heal since they cut him with a knife. He considered himself lucky to have escaped for they did any more harm to him.

This new village had signs all over says that if anyone spotted a hybrid to report it to the officials immediately. He also considered himself lucky that he wasn't a bird, bat, or dragon hybrid. They had to hide their wings and all he had to do was hide his snow leopard tail, claws, and ears.

He was pretty happy since he found money in the forest and it was enough to get food that would last him a whole week. He just needed to get food then leave. He knew how to be quick. 'Don't get caught. Don't get caught. Don't get caught. Don't get caught.' Zane repeated this in his head the entire time as he walked through the village. He may have been through the village several times without getting caught but no matter how many times he had done it, it still terrified him.

He calmly walked through the village with no problems until he bumped into some children playing in the snow. The sunglasses covering his face fell off. "Sorry, sir."

"Yeah, we didn't see you." Zane quickly covered his eyes in order to avoid detection. "It's okay. I should have been paying attention to where I was going as well." One of the children picked up his sunglasses and handed them to him but unfortunately, destiny had its own ideas for him. The child with his sunglasses tripped, dropping his sunglasses, and breaking them. "Oops."

"Sorry, mister. We'll get you a new pair. Though I don't know if we can get them now since it's snowy here all... the... time..." Once the children got a good look at Zane's eyes and saw the cat likeness to them they screamed and shouted, "HYBRID!"

"Get him!"

Zane just ran. He ran faster than ever before. 'Not again. I need to hide!' The chase continued into the forest until Zane found his small home. He jumped in it and held his breath. 'Don't come over here. Don't come over here. Don't come over here. Don't come over here. Please.'

"Where is he?"

"Maybe he went this way. There might be more of them."

"Let's go!" They ran off in a different direction and Zane didn't move a muscle until he couldn't smell anyone. He let out a sigh of relief. "Time to find a new home." He crawled out of the small fort and started to free his tail and ears. He had kept his tail hidden under his shirt and a hat to hid his ears. Suddenly, he heard the sipping of tea and gasped in fear once he saw an elderly man drinking tea. "Hello, my name is..." Zane didn't even stay to hear his name since he ran off in complete fear.

Zane just kept running until he tripped on a root he didn't even see. He fell down and crashed into the frozen lake below. "Help! I can't swim!" HE saw the hybrid haters from a distance but they walked off. Soon, Zane went under the water and started to drown. 'This is it. This is where I die...' Zane saw a blurry figure jump into the water just moments before he closed his eyes.

For Sensei Wu, he had meditated for years on how he would save his older brother and the only way to do that was to find the descendants of the ice, fire, earth, and lightening elements so they could use the Golden Weapons. He sensed that they were in danger and he needed to get the new masters of ice, fire, earth, and lightning together.

After months of meditating, he finally found all four elements but they were spread all over Ninjago. He couldn't explain it but he needed to start with the ice element. He knew that he was expecting them to be a hybrid since the previous Master of Ice was a hybrid. When he entered the forest he saw many people in the forest with a look of pure anger. "Excuse me, what seems to be upsetting everyone?"

"There is a hybrid in this forest and we need to take care of them. They've been terrorizing our village and scared some of some local children." Then the crowd of people left him to search for the hybrid but for Sensei Wu, he thinks that he already found it.

He saw a small pile of snow move. So, he just sat down on a rock and sipped his tea as he waited for the young hybrid to come out of the snow. After a few moments, a young man with pure white hair came out from the snow. He freed his snow leopard tail and took off his hat, revealing his snow leopard ears. After sipping his tea once more, he startled the young hybrid. "Hello, my name is..." He didn't even get to finish his sentence as the hybrid ran away from him in fear.

Sensei Wu got up and started to follow his footprints. He continued to walk until he heard a cry for help. "Help! I can't swim!" He rushed over to the voice and saw the same hybrid in the frozen lake calling out for help but the humans from earlier just looked at him briefly then walked away. He soon fell into the water and I rushed in to save him.

Taking a gasp of air, Zane coughed up all the way from his lungs like a cat with a hairball. "Now, I know how cats feel," He said groggily.

"Are you all right?" A voice asked him. Frightened, Zane quickly turned around and saw the same elderly man from earlier. He stood up to run away but fell to the ground in weakness. The man came over and helped him up. "You shouldn't run. You nearly drowned not too long ago."

'Right... I almost drowned... almost...'

"I... almost drowned..." The man nodded. "Yes, I saved you. Now, are you all right?" Still shocked by what the man said, Zane nodded. "Why?"

"Come again?"

"Why did you save me?" Zane asked as he made the man release his hold on him. "I'm a monster. A freak of nature! Why did you save me?!" Zane asked with tears in his eyes. Calmly, the man said, "My name is Sensei Wu and I need your help."

"How can a freak hybrid like me help you?" The man approached him calmly and in a non-threatening way which was something Zane hadn't seen from humans. "Long before time had a name, Ninjago was created by the first spinjitzu master using the four weapons of spinjitzu. The Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Shurikens of Ice, and the Sword of Fire. Weapons so powerful, no one can handle all their power at once. When he passed away, his two sons swore to protect them. But the oldest was consumed by darkness and wanted to possess them. A battle between brothers broke out and the oldest was struck down and banished to the Underworld. Peace returned and the younger brother hid the weapons. But knowing his older brother's relentless ambition for power. He placed a guardian to protect them. And for fear of his own demise, a map for an honest man to hide."

"I am afraid I do not understand. How does this involve me?"

"You are someone I am seeking because you are the only one who can handle the Shurikens of Ice. You, along with four others, must work together to stop Lord Garmadon."

"So... what? I'm suppose to be a hero? How? I have no home, no family, nothing to call my own except the clothes on my body. I barely know how to read and write. How do you expect me to become a hero?" Sensei Wu put a hand on Zane's shoulder and told him, "I do not see someone who is different from me. I see someone who is kind and brave. Many hybrids would refuse to sneak into a human village but you had the guts to do it. I can provide you a home. Humans and hybrids are not different from each other. We have hopes, dreams, family, friends, and so much more."

Zane scanned Wu's face and listened to his heartbeat to detect any lies. When he didn't sense any, he smiled and nodded. "Thank you. I haven't met a good human in a very long time." Sensei Wu smiled at him. "I have a feeling that I won't be the only good human you will ever meet." The two then left for the monastery and for the first time in a long time for Zane, life seemed to be looking better for him.

So, this is my interpretation of how a hybrid Zane met Sensei Wu. I'll probably be doing Cole next then Jay. See Y'all then! Don't forget to fav, follow, and review, please! Bye!
