This chapter takes place after Zane's sacrifice in episode 34 but before Borg unveils the statue.
The whole city was celebrating the final defeat of the overlord and the ninja had been booked for several award none of them felt that they deserved an award for anything because it was Zane who had given his life for the city and not accepted the awards but put each and every one of them on the small shrine they had made for Zane within Sensei Garmadon's monastery.
"It's not fair that none of the citizens are giving Zane any credit or even thought when he was the one who did everything and it cost him his life" said Lloyd miserably
"I'm glad Mr. Borg is building something purely in Zane's honor and memory" said Cole
"There's going to be fireworks tonight and we apparently have to attend, It's not fair that we can't mourn our brother for a full 24 hours before we have to go to some party where he isn't even recognized." said Kai
"I know it's not fair but as long as we remember him his sacrifice and memory will live on. And I think anyone would rather that than being completely forgotten.I think Zane was expecting to be forgotten by everyone as the city moved on but I know I can't let that happen to anyone especially one of my brothers" said Cole
"When they asked me what colors I wanted the fireworks to be and what shape I said white and light blue in the shape of I was going to have a say in any celebratory thing they did I would make sure it would be to honor my fallen brother and that is just what I did" said Lloyd
"Zane deserves so much more than what he is getting and I can't stand it" said Kai angrily. That night they all went to see the fireworks but only to be flashes of white and blue lit the sky every 5 seconds but all the ninja could think about was how each beautiful burst of light was gone too soon like Zane.
"You know what, I hate fireworks and I know I'm going to hate a whole lot more than just that now that Zane is gone." said Cole clearly upset.
"Yeah there is nothing good in this world without Zane" responded Jay. The ninja kept watching the fireworks but they watched with distaste as each flash of light sparked a memory of Zane that had gone by much too quickly and threatened to be forgotten. When the ninja got home they went back to crying their eyes out. Soon they went to bed hoping to see their brother in their dreams. In the middle of the night Lloyd woke up from a nightmare and started crying. The others were at his side in a flash.
"Why did Zane have to leave us? Why is destiny so cruel as to take our brother from us" sobbed Lloyd
"I don't know Lloyd, though I wish I did" said Kai softly
"Brother we all miss Zane but the important thing is that we keep him in our hearts and memories" said Cole
"I can't imagine how Pixal must be taking all this" said Jay
"She is probably holding up worse than us" said Kai
"Is she coming to the memorial?" asked Cole
"No, I think she just wants some time to grieve on her own" said Kai
"Makes sense" said Cole
"Why do all the best people go far to soon" asked Jay
"Because this world is no place for someone so pure of heart" said Kai
"Yeah Zane was like his element,too perfect too last" said Cole
"When winter comes,I am going build snow Zanes everywhere, he always made me feel like nothing could hurt me when he was near. It was like he was a living fortress whose sole purpose was to protect us." said Lloyd
"Yeah I know what you mean, without Zane all sense of security and care as well as love, is gone." said Kai
"Have any of you started to wish that you could just die so that you'd see him again,because I have. What is life without Zane anyway,what's the point of being here when the brother we love most is somewhere else" said Cole
"Cole I think I speak for all of us when I say that fate is a real bitch and destiny is worse.I sometimes wish I could speak to the person in charge of life and death and ask them why they took my brother from me" said Lloyd.
"You know what annoys me the most,that sensei and Lloyd's parents aren't even grieving. I want my brother back,I want to hug him and never let go. Sensei doesn't care and I'm starting to think that he never cared." said Cole
"Cole please, I'm annoyed at sensei as well and I think that we all just want to hug Zane but right now there is nothing we can do." said Kai gently
"I'll yell at my parents tonight,I'm tired of the adults acting like they don't care about our brother and it's time I confront them" said a bitter Lloyd
"Zane deserve so much better than being forgotten by everyone" said Kai
"That he does brother, that he does" said Cole solemnly.
