Hi everyone, I'm sorry about how few updates there have been, i just finished season 8, had to do my senior project and get college stuff in order. so yeah I've been a bit busy. Anyway i had this thought after the end of season 8, what if Zane is a dragon/angel. This is my thoughts on what should happen season nine. This will be at least three chapters but if you want it to be it's own story PM me

The ninja watched as the dragons flew into the black sun. Zane barely registered Kai saying that they were in the realm of the oni and dragons, Zane could feel the blood within him burning and coursing through him, urging him to transform into his true form. He had the power to fix everything, the power to stop Garmadon. But like with everything, there was a price, a massive price. If Zane used his powers to fix everything,wich would upset the balance of the universe, he would have to stay behind and leave his friends once again. On the other hand, if he did nothing, Garmadon would make ninjago a second underworld.

"Hey guys" said Zane

"Yeah Zane?" said Kai

"I have a small confession to make" said Zane

"Really, now" said an irritated jay

"Yes Now, look I can get you guys home and get Lloyd his powers back, defeat garmadon and bring back the emperor and empress, and Harumi's parents" sad Zane

"AND WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE THIS SOONER WHY ARE YOU JUST NOW TELLING US YOU CAN DO THAT" yelled kai

"Because-" zane started but then Kai cut him off

"BECAUSE WHAT! IF YOU CAN FIX THINGS DO IT NO MATTER THE CONSEQUENCES" said Kai. Zane sighed before morphing into a light blue dragon with black feathered wings and black scales framing his face and going down his neck like a hood.

"YOU'RE A DRAGON!" exclaimed all the ninja at once

"Lizzy!" exclaimed little wu running up to Zain, thinking he was just a big lizard. Zane swept a laughing Wu up in his wings as the toddler cuddled into him before falling asleep in the soft feathers

"Yes, shard was actually my mother, my father is an angel of the first spinjitzu master, I am the archangel of death and cosmic affairs" said Zane awkwardly.

"And why are you just NOW telling us about this, you have any idea how many bad guys you could have stopped just by waving your hand, I can't believe you would be so SELFISH" shouted Kai. Zane just sighed and set a sleeping Wu down into Cole's arms, waved his claw and the ninja and Wu vanished, when they would return everything would be right again, Garmadon would be good, all lives lost would be back with their families, Harumi's parents, both sets, would be alive again, Lloyd would be the gold ninja again, Wu would be his proper age and all buildings would be restored. He collapsed on the beach exhausted from the sudden power drain, the price for his actions? Skylor and Misako would die in the next week and because of this, Zane could never return to sighed, tears running down his face before he suddenly felt the wing of a much larger dragon wrap around him.

"My beautiful little hatchling, what ever is the matter?" came a soft feminine voice

"Mom?" asked Zane tentatively turning around to see the ultra dragon behind him, shard taking control of the body. The light blue head smiled and nodded. Zane flung himself sobbing into his mother's embrace.

"I-I told my friends about my powers and they yelled at me, told me I was selfish for not using my powers willy nilly, I tried to tell them I couldn't just use my powers whenever i felt like it or for just a quick fix, I tried to tell them that it could disrupt the fabric of reality but the told me i had to no matter the consequences" sobbed Zane. He was so much smaller than his mother because he was younger than the other dragons, but when it came to his mom, it was easier for him to feel safe when he was small enough to be completely wrapped in her wings.

"Oh sweetheart, it's not your fault, sometimes those you care about hurt you and one day they will realize how wrong they were" soothed Shard

"Is dad here?' asked Zane

"He had a last minute assignment to take care of, he'll be home tomorrow" said Shard gently stroking her son's back with her claw. Eventually Zane's exhaustion from the excessive power usage and the sheer comfort of his mother's embrace lulled him to sleep.

Meanwhile in Ninjago

"So let me get this straight, Zane is still in a realm we know nothing about because he started to warn you about using his powers but you wouldn't listen and now our BROTHER is stuck in another real with every right to believe we don't care about him, is that right KAI!" said a now golden Lloyd.

"Um kind of" said Kai trying to shrink away from Lloyd's wrath

"So, this is what it come down to huh? Us losing our broth again, damn it Kai we almost lost him two weeks ago, now he's gone for good, we got lucky after the overlord incident, who else are we going to have to lose before you get your head out of your rear and realize THAT WITH GREAT POWER COME GREAT RESPONSIBILITY" shouted lloyd before running to his room, first a broken heart now, grief for his brother once again, and the fate of ninjago squarely on his shoulders, on top of that his mother had just been given a week to live and Skylor called an hour ago saying the same thing, one week to live. Kai was devastated. Lloyd heard a knock at his door before his mother father and uncle came in.

"Lloyd? Sweetheart are you alright?" asked misako before Lloyd flung himself into his mother's arms

"I-I can't lose anyone else, I just can't, please mom, don't leave me" sobbed Lloyd

"Oh Lloyd I will always be with you in your heart" said Misako

"That's not good enough, I need you here, you're always leaving me all alone, my family is almost never complete, why can't you for once just stay here?" cried Lloyd. It was then that misako, garmadon and Wu realized just how shattered Lloyd was, no decent childhood, forced to grow up much too fast and the fate of the world always on his shoulders and constantly having the supports pulled out from under him, he was breaking.
