Zareth Is a Typo Boy Movie:

White Bird

Chapter 9

Unsung Hero

Thunder rolling over the hills, flashes of lightning enveloped the building. It was old, and rusted. At least thats the way they wanted it to look. Within was state of the art and up to date with every piece of tech that Donny could get hold of, or make himself. Being a world known scientist for close to sixteen decades didn't say much since he had to gain a brand new identity since his body died when he was fresh out of college.

Damned Gaya.

The door slammed open and Donny walked into the room soaking wet, and incredibly torn up. Oil dripped from his chin as he pushed the door closed behind him. He was safe there, no one would find him. No one ever tried. The only other entrance was the back and it looked like an old Chevy out in the desert. He wouldn't find him here, here he could rest and fix himself.

"Damn that kid...has more balls than Danny." He grabbed a cloth and started to wipe down the oil from his face and chest. Large claw marks ran along his hip, and chest. "Just a butler my ass." He spat the oil from his mouth and looked in the stainless steel finish on the fridge he grabbed the ice from.

One arm hung lifeless from his shoulder. He couldn't tell if it just popped loose from the socket or if it had become useless.

He poured the brandy into the cup and drank it. He growled pulling his shirt from himself and threw it to the ground. The silk was heavy sounding as it hit the floor with a horrible splat.

"I want that boy's head." He growled pulling the arm from his body with a loud yell throwing it to the side. The fingers twitched. A clear sign that it did in fact still work, but he needed something...more. He needed something to kill a hornet. He was after all the one designed to kill any that went rogue...and rogue they all have. Leaving their base programming behind for a life like a human. Marrying humans, producing abominations with them. A gross...horrible life to live.

He took another drink of the brandy.

"Just think Danny...if I had just been left alone...we wouldn't be like this. If I was left to die like I wanted...with my wife and kids...I wouldn't be so...angry all the time. Not allowed to die." He stuffed a new arm into the socket.

"So...if I'm going to be forced to life like this...so will you. Alone...without love." The arm crackled to life a high beam hitting the wall causing it to explode.

"You either kill me now Danny...or I'll take everything from you...every...little...thing." He put something into his pocket and sighed.

"Say goodbye…" He whispered.

Storms weren't Danny's strong suit. Actually she hated them...a lot. Why? It was her forceful activations and memory wipes. They all happened at the same time so it was just one of those things. She put the last of the laundry away. She looked around at Aloe on the couch. He looked so much like Glass till he opened his eyes and let his wings out. A line of drool against the arm of the couch. Otto lay on the other end of the couch. Both boys sleeping soundly kind of made her feel warmer. She heard a light tap on the door. There was a light snore from Aloe as he turned over and buried his face in the back of the arm rest. At least it was squishy.

Danny opened the door and looked at Cryptor. His hood and mask were up. She jumped at the thunder off in the distance. She felt the heavy arms around her shoulders. Zane, Cryptor, and Min had been taking turns looking out for her when they weren't busy. Danny didn't want to make it sound strange, but she liked the closeness of her siblings. Now that a few of her sisters had woken up and weren't taken over by Gaya all around ninjago at least she wasn't too alone, but they prefered to stay away from people.

Cryptor looked around at the boys who slept soundly. It wasn't too loud like Dareths snoring.

Cryptor hated hugs...he really did, but he loved Inky and he knew this was her mother. He still had problems seeing her as a sibling, but she never pushed him away. Actually quite the contrary. A low chuckle escaped him. Danny stepped back and looked up at him. He had to lean down to address her or she looked like she would fall over. At least Inky was up to his shoulder. Danny reached his chestplate. Adorable really.

"Adopting more?" He asked. Danny smiled as she turned to look at Aloe.

"He's my eldest. From a previous marriage." Danny admitted as she pulled a jug up oil from the fridge.

"You...married before Dareth. Nope." He joked, taking the cup from her.

"Thank you."

"Yes, I was married to a man named Glass Steels. The previous hybrid. But...I don't remember much." She ran her finger along the rim of her own cup and sighed. "The last person I ever killed…"

"Want me to handcuff you and bring you in...because that's how that happens." He chuckled.

"Can you…?" The answer wasn't what Cryptor wanted to hear.

He reached across the table. "Sorry...I know you don't want to be here. You don't have to be." Ow...that hurt. Cryptor watched her get up from her spot and stopped in the middle of the floor. "Cut from the same cloth you and I. Reprogrammed to become something we weren't. We're killers you and I...perhaps its best if we stop pretending." she slammed the glass into the trash can and sighed. Aloe ran into the room with a very scared looking Otto. Cryptor stood up and reached out for Otto who reached out too, but Aloe's eyes were elsewhere. It would appear the noise didn't wake him. It was what he felt outside. Danny turned to see Donny staring at them through the window. The gun poised at Aloe and Otto. Aloe felt himself being pushed down by Danny.

There was a white light within the room. Danny didn't feel the pain, heat, or even the pop out of existence and the arrival back in her hidden server. Actually she felt fine. She looked down at Aloe, hearing the sound of Otto's crying. She felt the pressure though. Of someone else's body. She turned her head the best she could. She could see the red glow best. She felt the drip of oil on her shoulder sliding down her arm to pool on Aloe's back.

"You are wrong Danny...we are not the same...for I gave up my life as that General who killed. I became something more. Something so much more then what was programmed...all because of a little girl who saw something new in me. Inky told me I didn't need to be General Cryptor. It was something beyond me, something not in my programming. Yet here I am...doing as she saw me to be...Not the monster I was created to be...but to become the hero she needed me to be." Cryptor watched on the radar as once again Donny disappeared from view. His body hitched.

"Cryptor...I know you do not want me to call you my brother, you've said so...so many times…" Danny ran her fingers over his face. He shook his head letting the smile break across it.

"I know...you never stopped. My sister…" his finger ran along her cheek. The tear ran slowly down it. "Thank you...for showing me...what a family is."

"Inky's going to be mad…" Danny admitted.

"Oh...I know...I raised her…"

"You were quite the father to her...you all were. She grew up beautifully because of us." Danny felt Otto reach up over Aloe and take hold of his face place. Cryptor chuckled.

"Don't go…" he whispered.

"No one leaves forever little one." He whispered. "Not in ninjago." His optics began to flash. He felt someone above him pull him almost harshly. Danny watched the mix of white hair. The white Gi mixed with a black uniform.

"Tin can…" Cryptor whispered.

"Copy…" Zane whispered. "Thank you…"
