A/N: Hello! Time to rescue Cole and stop the Sons of Garmadon from killing Zane…again. Cause he technically already died once… um, yeah. Let's just go see how well I can write this one when it appears to alternate between Cole and Zane, with some Lloyd, that's gonna be fun. Oh, by the way, you all may laugh at what Kai and Nya decide must be the spy….as well as what Kai was going with before that.

Chapter Four: Blown Cover and Strange ideas for the spy…

I tapped my fingers impatiently on the table while waiting for Lloyd and Jay to return from looking for our undercover teammates. Nya was building Zane a new bike to help pass the time, and had the princess with her. I was just about ready to bang my head out of frustration, when the door suddenly banged open and Jay walked into the room.

Leaping to my feet, I stared intently at him, an unspoken question dancing in my eyes. Jay shook his head as he flopped down into one of the chairs. "Lloyd is still looking. I couldn't keep up. I'm sorry Kai."

A sigh escaped me as I placed my chin into the palm of my hand. "It's fine Jay. Man, did you guys feel this anxious when I worked undercover?"

"No…we felt more betrayed and angry. Unlike Zane, you didn't give us any warning. You just suddenly helped Chen to capture Lloyd." Jay shrugged, frustration crossing his face.

"Right…sorry about that. The less that knew the more believable it would have been." I apologized as I ran my fingers through my hair, biting the inside of my cheek.

Jay glanced sideways at me, a frown crossing his face. "Nya wants you to think about her suggestion about you-know-what."

I rolled my eyes at that, pretty sure that she was wrong and I was right. I've worked undercover as a spy once, she hasn't. Just then, the door banged open again as Lloyd walked in. "I lost the signal. They should be in the Sons of Garmadon HQ by now."

"Wonderful." I muttered under my breath, annoyance flaring up suddenly. Kai…relax. Zane and Cole know how to take care of themselves. Now about my suggestion…

It's wrong. That's not who the spy is! I thought back furiously, as I started to pace around the room.

Really? And yours makes sense? It doesn't even exist and I think we would have noticed it! Nya screeched into my mind, allowing a whole lot of annoyance to flare into life.

I rolled my eyes despite knowing that she was not in the room with us, turning to face the large map of Ninjago that hung on the wall. "Hey guys…have we tried a thermal scan to see if there is something underground that we're missing?"

"Seriously? Why didn't I think of that…I'm supposed to be the leader here!" Lloyd whined as he quickly turned the switches on that were necessary to do what I had suggested.

I smiled, amusement dancing in my eyes. "I know. Must come with being old."

"Technically, you didn't age at all for; how many years again?" Jay pointed out as he rolled his eyes at me.

Unfortunately, that was when the princess and Nya decided to enter the room. Nya grinned, knowing that I was probably trying to pull the whole soo much older than the rest of them card again. The princess looked around the room in confusion, before turning to face me suddenly. "I'm confused…I thought Lloyd aged too quickly…what's this about stopping aging?"

Nya coughed, amusement dancing in her eyes. "My brother and I are much older than we look. We temporarily stopped aging for awhile do to things… but we have been aging the entire time we've been here. It's the same thing with our parents. Of course we don't know exactly when they started aging again…" Nya frowned, trying to figure that one out.

"What kind of things?" The princess sounded extremely worried.

I rolled my eyes as I grabbed the new map that the computer was spitting out. "Time travel. Don't worry, it won't happen to you." Turning to Jay and Lloyd, I held up the map, "Let's go. Nya? Think you can stay and watch the princess for us?"

Nya nodded in agreement, even as her voice flooded my mind again. Be careful. We don't know what the Sons of Garmadon are up to. And I am right about the spy.

I rolled my eyes as I walked past her. "Are not. I'm right. And relax, we're ninja."

"You're gonna jinx yourself!" Nya hollered back to me as we disappeared out of sight.

…

I grumbled under my breath as I carefully picked the lock to the cage that Cole was being help in. Cole gave me a withering look, before speaking in a low whisper. "You do realize that the only ones that really know how to unlock locks without a key is you and Nya. Besides that, you can help me with a little side mission."

"What do you mean by that?" I hissed back as the lock clanged loudly as it fell open away from my hands.

"That room over there, I heard two of the members talking when they placed a box in there. Whatever is in the box is the key to finding the third Oni mask."

"What?! How do they know about the third mask!?" I hissed loudly as he swung the door open.

Cole shrugged as he moved in the direction of the box. "The spy must have heard us talking about it. Speaking of which, have you figured out who the spy is yet?"

"It's a tiny robot the size of our thumbs." I bluntly told him as I followed him into the room.

Cole shook his head as he knelt down in front of the box. "Seriously? Did you come up with that? Because that is totally ridiculous." He froze suddenly as he stared at what was inside of the box, beads of sweat forming along his brow.

I glanced over at him, wondering what was so scary in there, before responding to his question. "No, actually Nya came up with it. I was all for a tap dancing elephant." I paused, eyeing him nervously. "Are you ok, Cole?"

"Yeah….yeah…oh man it's a baby." Cole was by now really sweating bullets.

I blinked, surprised about that announcement. Moving quickly, I joined him and looked down to see that indeed there was a baby boy sleeping soundly in the box. He was wrapped in a blue blanket, a single tooth sticking out of his gum, a plaster of blonde hair on top of his head. "Aww! Cute cute cute!" I squealed loudly as I scooped the baby up to hug him to my chest.

Cole gave me a weird look, wrinkling his nose at me. "Seriously dude? You just said cute three times in a row!"

I opened my mouth to retort back that he just didn't like the fact that the baby was getting more attention than him, when an angry feminine voice cut me off suddenly. "What do you think you're doing?! That child belongs to us!"

Whipping around, my eyes widened in horror upon seeing the single female leader of the Sons of Garmadon standing behind us, fury dancing in her eyes. "You don't need a kid to find the Lost Oni Mask of… Kai help me out here…." Cole glanced back at me helplessly.

"Hatred. It's the Lost Oni Mask of Hatred. And he's right. There's no reason why you need a kid to get it!" I glared at the lady, furious that she would forcibly take a child from his own parents.

She rolled her eyes as she slipped into a fighting position. "Ah, that's thing. After the Quiet One warned us that there is a third mask, we looked at the spell again and discovered that to bring someone back to life…not only do we need all three masks, but we also need the hair from the brother, wife, and son. Still don't know about the whole Oni thing though… we're looking for this Oni Spy that the master of water seems to believe in."

I recoiled away from her, pressing the child to my chest. "Soo, you're saying that he is the son of someone that you want to bring back to life?"

A scowl crossed her face, only before she could attack me, Cole interrupted. "No…the brother. They're called the Sons of Garmadon. The baby is Sensei!"

I took one look at the sleeping baby, before looking back at him. "Well then…Sensei makes for a cute baby then."

A loud, angry scream that sounded more like a roar escaped her suddenly as she launched at us. Too bad it was one of her against two of us…and Baby Sensei.

Let's just say next thing we know, we were outside, she was trapped somewhere inside…and Baby Sensei was bawling. "This is why you never fight with a baby in the room!"

Lloyd shot us a weird look, unaware of the screaming baby in my arms…while Jay rushed over to coo at him. "Look! A baby! He's adorable!"

"I know, right?" I ignored the you're-kidding-me look that Cole was shooting me.

Cole crossed his arms in annoyance, turning to face Lloyd. "We found Sensei. He's a bit young though…as in he somehow shrunk into a baby and now it looks like we have two ninjas that are cooing at him as if he were an actual baby."

"What!? That's Sensei!?" "I don't want to know how you guys know that's Uncle Wu, do I?" "Knock it off Cole! He's a baby! Besides that, it's not like he's gonna remember any of this later anyways."

A/N: Done! Hmm, that was interesting. Don't worry, we will know if Zane is alright in the next chapter… who agrees with me that Baby Sensei Wu is cute though?

Review!
