Woooh, I updated on the day I was supposed to update xD yeey for me xD.
It took a while for the boys to catch up. Kai was first and Cole and Jay arrived at the same time. Though it was more Cole dragging an out of breath Jay along.
Calli shivered once again as they walked through the trees, following their friends footprints to a…. Destroyed robot and a tree with a door in it.
Still not one of the weirdest situations she'd walked into. That was still Jay with his butt stuck in the trashcan.
"Zane?" Kai called out as the group entered the tree and Jay started gushing.
"Would you look at this place!" It was then he noticed Zane sitting on the floor. "Zane? What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
"You okay?" Cole asked once again.
The white-haired teen sighed and grabbed a set of blueprints, looking them over before removing the jacket of his Gi and shirt and opening his chest…. an act that very effectively freaked out the rest of the group.
The whole group had to do a double-take on what they saw.
Kai was the first to compost himself and react to the situation. "You're a robot?" He cried out, it might not have been a appropriate response but a response nonetheless. And indeed, Zane's Chest was filled with wires and switches.
"All this time." Zane lamented. "And I never knew."
Jay let out an awkward laugh. "This explains why you're always acting so… weird." Kai and Cole both glared at the Ninja in-between them and Calli couldn't help but taking that personal, whacking the Blue Ninja on the head.
"The reason I never had a sense of humor is because my funny switch wasn't on." To prove his point, he clicked on of the switches. The moment he did so, he started dancing and singing, raising quite a few eyebrows.
"Hello my baby, Hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal." His friends took a step back, either to give him space or to let this; what the Heck moment sink in, and Jay was very close to hiding behind Kai. "Send me a kiss but where." The White Ninja jumped around some more before switching it back off.
Zane sighed and let himself fall back on the ground.
"Well… it… just makes you more special." Cole tried to cheer him up, still a bit unsure about what was going on. "You're still the same Zane. Just with more gears."
"No matter what you're made off, You're still out brother." Kai stepped forwards.
Zane looked up. "Really?" Calli's took a sharp breath upon hearing that, her heart was about to break at the way he asked it.
Cole nodded. "In fact, I bet it makes you an even better Ninja."
"Yeah!" Jay exclaimed. "And how cool is it that I can honestly say my brother is a Nindroid." All eyebrows raised at the statement.
"A Nindroid?"
"Now come on." Cole interrupted any further discussion. "Pythor is still out there, looking for the first Fangblade and we need you."
Zane shook his head and turned around. "You'll have to go on without me. I just don't feel right."
"Go on, I'll keep an eye on him." Calli whispered to the others, who reluctantly went back outside.
The girl sat down on the floor with her legs crossed, watching as her friend went over the blueprints. In the back of her mind, thoughts were stirring up again as she started to absentmindedly nibble on the nail of her thumb, unsure of how to deal with the whole situation. Both Zane and hers.
"A… A memory switch?" The redhead snapped her head up towards the white ninja. He was still looking at the blueprints. Eventually he opened his chest again and flipped one of the switches. He stood still and silent for a few moments before he snapped up, a small tear rolling down his cheek.
"Are you okay?" Zane looked up to her, surprised he never noticed her in the room, and gave a small nod. At that moment the falcon flew down and perched on the White Ninja's arm.
"Let's go to the others." Calli smiled as Zane found his confidence again and followed him out of the tree, only to find a couple of long-legged creatures playing football with their friends. The redhead took back her thoughts, this day was starting to look like the weirdest, and that was taking into account the day they had been attacked by a wrecking-ball and statue animated by snakes.
Zane jumped forward. "Leave my friends alone!" As Zane used his Spinjitsu to knock down the, what Calli could guess, were treehorns. She worked on getting the other boys out of the way.
"What's gotten into Zane." Cole groaned as she helped him up.
"I don't know." Kai grinned. "But I like it!"
The boys jumped in to help their friend and the four used their Spinjitzu whilst Calli managed to knock one off its feet with a stick.
Suddenly the creatures regrouped, Jay was the first to notice. The fighting stopped for only a second when a treehorn larger then all of them stepped into the clearing. Unlike the others it had sharp fangs and a dozen red eyes. The Queen had arrived.
"Call" the girl felt herself being pulled back and before she knew it she was standing behind the boys as they slowly backed up.
Zane however had another idea. The white Ninja readied his Shuriken and Calli had to shiver as she could feel the temperature drop in the area.
"You will not hurt my friends!" He called out. "Nothing will hold me back! I know who I am!" As soon as he spoke those words pieces of snow and ice picked themselves off of the ground and circled the White Ninja until there was a vortex of his element around him which started to glow in a bright white light.
"What's happing to him?" Kai was the first to speak up. "Was he programmed to do this?"
Jay chuckled nervously. "I've never seen a robot do that!"
"You mean Nindroid?" Cole elbowed his friend only to receive a glare. "Yeah, Whatever."
The Black Ninja grinned at his friend and opened his mouth to retaliate when it suddenly clicked.
"Zane unlocked his True Potential" The moment the words left his lips, three pair of eyes snapped towards him, but whereas Kai and Jay's eyes went big, Calli had to snicker at the scene.
The Treehorn Queen let out a roar and snapped her head towards Zane. The White Ninja reacted quickly, blasting the creature with a strong beam of ice, hitting the Queen right in the chest, slowly freezing her over and with their Queen defeated the other treehorns quickly turned around and made sure to get away.
The lights around him faded and Zane fell back to his knees. "What happened." He asked as he sat back up, rubbing his head.
"That was awesome!" Jay cheered, almost knocking over the girl next to him trying to get to his friend.
Kai quickly agreed. "You should've seen yourself!"
"I've never seen anything like it."
"That just felt powerful." Calli agreed as she knelt down next to his friend.
Zane thought for a moment. "This must be what sensei meant by unlocking your heart." He stood up and removed his mask. "I remember now." He explained. "I remember everything. I remember my father and how he cared for me, I remember where I came from. I feel stronger for knowing."
Calli averted her eyes and bit her lip. She suddenly felt somewhat out of place. The girl got the urge to do some more research.
She quickly shook her head to snap out of it and to join into the celebration, this wasn't a time to feel sad.
