Lloyd POV: Okay. I have had enough surprises for one day.
"Mom, Dad, Uncle Wu? Are you serious? You knew about all of this?" I said, standing up.
"Yes, but we couldn't tell you." Mom said, coming over to me. She rubbed my shoulder and it took all of my self-control to not to push her away.
"And why is that?" Nya said, also standing up.
"After last time we didn't want to take any chances." Uncle Wu said, standing beside Jewel.
"Last time? There wasn't a first time." Jay said, joining me.
They all looked at each other, but said nothing. They were clearly hiding something else. Why won't they just tell us?!
"Okay, I think the jig is up guys." Jewel said, and sighed.
"Jewel" Regina said, her face saying to not say anymore.
"Oh come on Regina. It's not like we can keep this under wraps anymore. They need to know." she got serious, dead serious.
"She's right. And we all know it." Mom said. She looked right at Uncle Wu and Dad.
"Tell us what?! Kai's in danger and you're worried about these secrets you're keeping from us! You already lied to us about Zane. What else are you keeping from us? Why are you acting so cold?!" Nya yelled. If she hadn't I definitely would have.
Zane took a sharp breath and started panting hard. The look of his was filled with confusion and shock. He grabs the table so hard it looks like it would crack.
"Zane? You good?" I said. Regina was at his side.
"Well well well. Looks like someone is awake." Jewel said, leaning back.
"What are you talking about? Zane's been awake all this time?" Cole said, looking just as confused as Zane.
"True. But I'm talking in a different sense. Don't worry, he'll be fine in a few moments. It just takes a second for everything to settle back in." she said.
Zane's breathing is slowing back, and he closes his eyes and leans back. His grip on the table loosen.
"Zane?" Jay said, standing up himself.
"I'm good. But still a little confused. Why did you wait this long?" he asked, looking at Uncle Wu.
"That is a long story in of itself. But right now the others want answers for what just happened. Correct?" he said, looking at us.
"That's an understatement." Nya said, crossing her arms.
"Nya, please calm down. You can trust them." Zane said.
"I thought you wanted answers like us?" she said, looking betrayed.
"And he'll give them to you. Just be patient." he said, remaining calm.
"Okay. Question one, why have you been lying to us?" she said, clearly not sounding calm.
"We, alongside your brother, were just trying to protect you from those that would do anything to destroy you." Dad said, putting his arms behind him.
"Who?" I said.
"People that are dangerous." He said, not looking at me.
"Telling them will help us find Kai." Zane said.
"Okay, now I'm even more confused. I thought you were in the same position as us Zane?" I said.
"Not exactly. But…" he tried to say.
"Not exactly? Now you're telling half-truths! What is going on?" Cole said. He looked like he was about to hit something, just like Nya.
"I remember our lives from before. That's what happened." he said, facing him.
"Our lives?" I asked and looked at Uncle Wu, Dad, and Mom.
"If you're not going to do it I will." Jewel said. Then she got, walked over to a drawer, got something out, walked back, and dropped it on the table. It was a framed picture that looked slightly old.
It was us, all of us, even Jewel and Regina, in the same uniform as Kai was just different colors.
"What does this mean." I said. I don't know why but my heart was racing now.
"This is who you really are Lloyd, Nya, Cole, Jay." Mom said, rubbing my shoulder again.
After she said that Cole jerked and backed up. Jay and Nya went to his side as he started panting just as hard as Zane did.
"What is happening?" I said. Panic was starting to set in.
"It's fine. This is totally normal." Jewel said, now standing next to me watching Cole.
Once Cole calmed down he looked at Uncle Wu and said, "I remember."
"Thank goodness that you do."
"And, quick question. Why was Kai the only one you told?" he asked.
"What?" Jay, Nya, and I all said at the same time.
"You three. I understand your confusion. What's happening is that their old memories are awakening again."
"That doesn't really help." Nya said.
"Nya, it does. It means if you remember then it can lead us to your brother." Zane said.
She started to shake her head when her face changed. She also started panting. Jay tried to help her but she was already calming down.
"Okay, I'm okay. But Kai isn't. We have to help him." she said, sounding more worried than mad.
"We're trying, but he hasn't left any trace behind." Dad said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
"You're looking for him? How?" I asked
"The… man that took him usually leaves a clear trace, but now he has covered his tracks. The only person that could find him still doesn't have his memories." Mom said.
"Who is that?" Jay asked
"Him." Uncle Wu said, nodded to me.
"Huh?"
