Before we begin, I have officially gotten my first flame on Fanfiction! The person was... drumroll please...

LOYRD IS HOT. YES ITS TRUE:

DON'T KILL LOYED

YOU ARE A MONSTER

YOU DON'T BELONG IN THIS WORLD

I HATE YOU. I HATE YOU

So, I'm taking a leaf out of do0m's book and beginning the rating of their review!

You misspelled the name of your subject, the person who want to save. This is interesting, as your username and review would suggest you know how to spell the name of this character.

However...

While I have been called insane, psychologically challenged, demented, weird, nerd, geek, etc, no one has ever flamed me for being a monster in my life! This person decided, no, they weren't going to use something I'd been called before! They were going to go new and call me a monster!

Also, in another review, this person put in about a person called May. This was ACTUALLY a character I had considered using! So congrats, this person can read my mind over potentially hundreds of thousands of miles and get that far back into my memories! (and/or break into my house and sneak into my computer files)

OVERALL PERFORMANCE: ...Well, spelling wasn't the best, grammar was fine, flame a bit weak but with your pros... I give you a C.

do0m: While I agree that the use of "monster" is at least mildly original, the… creative… spelling of the subject of the review is mildly off-putting. Another problem is the repetition of the "I hate you" in the final line, which is unnecessary, given the finality of that particular phrase. The other problem I see, is that your CapsLock must be broken, and has been for a while given the capitalization of your username (you may want to look into that). Overall, this is a great effort, and has basically correct grammar, so I would score it with a C+.

Now that my little rant is over... I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRY I TOOK SO DAMN LONG! TECH CLASS! ACADEMICS! DAMN EXERCISE FOR GYM CLASS! STUPID GYM TEACHERS AND THEIR FITNESS OBSESSIONS!

Zane's P.O.V.

Two months have passed, and Lucine and I are still searching for the green ninja Lloyd and his uncle. Master Garmadon has finally pinpointed their location, and we are traveling there.

Lucine is silent; she has been mostly silent since her brush with death. She rarely eats and her nightmares have grown worse. It's all I can do to force her to eat and train. I still fear she will go out and try again to be killed.

"Zane? We're almost there." Lucine whispers in her hoarse, soft voice. I nod, savoring the sound of her not often heard voice.

"I know, sister." I grab her hand, and we find our targets; they are resting, hiding, inside a small cavern on the edge of Ninjago. After a moment, I make a decision and look to Lucine. "Lucine, go find our other target."

Lucine is confused by the look she gives me. "I'll be fine." She promises, but I shake my head.

"I will find them. Please." I insist. Finally, Lucine nods, taking off in another direction.

Once she's out of sight, I grab one of my shurikens and descend towards the cave. My eyes narrow at seeing the green ninja training with his uncle. I go down further, taking aim.

Suddenly the green ninja, Master Garmadon's son, looks up and spots me. Enraged, he fires lightning at me, which I dodge just in time. "Zane, you traitor!" He yells. Surprised, I pause, and get thrown off my feet by an earthquake. Grunting, I realize sending off Lucine was a bad idea. The next attack gets me in the chest, and I quickly decide I have no other choice. I throw my shuriken, and it catches the young boy on his arm. While he howls in pain, his uncle tries to help, allowing me to get closer.

The old man looks up, saddened. "Zane, I do not know what has made you like this. Come back to the correct side."

Angered, I throw another of my shurikens into the old man's chest. "I am on the correct side!" I swiftly knock out the young boy, praying Lucine has an easier time than me.

Lucine's P.O.V.

Though I protested against leaving Zane, inside I'm sighing with relief; another death or sight of human blood and I might break down again. Our other target is far away, in Ninjago City; one of the few who didn't flee. Slowly, I walk through the city streets. The few people there shuffle, nearly running to finish quickly. You never know when the ninja's mysterious assassin might appear.

Unlike my earlier days, I wear a cloak now. My gem is still around my neck, but the cloak offers a sense of security. Inside, you can't see me. You don't want to see me. And that's just the way I like it; no one looking twice at me.

Since that fateful day when the red ninja died, I've given up. On life, and on death. Zane is the reason I'm still alive; he practically forces food down my throat and often will drag me into the medical center to get supplements. Obviously, I'm thinner and sleep for hours on end to recover my energy. Now I just hope I'll be strong enough for the task at hand.

I slip inside the Ninjago History Museum, gently passing by people. I walk forward slowly, looking around at different doors. After a minute, I notice a door labeled 'staff'. Perfect.

Slipping inside, I see a gray-haired woman pouring coffee at a desk. Her slouched posture tells me I'm not the only person lacking energy. I grab my favorite dagger from my side, holding it tightly. "Misako."

The woman turns, sighing. Lines under her eyes mirror my own. "Who are you?" She asks. Before I get to answer, she notes the dagger in my hand and her look softens. "You're my husband's assassin, aren't you?"

I grip the dagger more tighter. "Don't resist. You're coming with me."

"You don't have to do this." The woman insists. "You can stop."

My knuckles turn white from my death grip. "Just shut up and come with me!" I hiss.

"Listen, I can help you." She tells me. I snap, switching the dagger to my left hand and punching her in her gut. I like the feeling of anger; better than the feelings of regret and sorrow.

"Stop talking." The only people who could help me are dead, and mentioning them makes me angry. I pull out a medallion Master Garmadon gave me, shining it in the woman's face. Her eyes cloud over and she falls onto the floor, unconscious. I drag her outside where Serpentine take over, carrying the woman back. I follow at a distance, which both I and the Serpentine prefer.

Once we arrive, I go to my room and notice Zane carrying Master Garmadon's son over his shoulder. His shoulder is red with blood, and I avert my eyes. Zane notices, and puts the young boy down, mopping up the blood as well as he can with his sleeve. Shaking my head, I grab a soft towel from the bathroom, putting it under water before gently applying it to the boy's shoulder. "Master Garmadon won't be happy." I murmur softly. Zane shrugs, leaving the room as the boy stirs, opening his eyes.

"Where am I? Who're you?" He asks, suspicious. I avert my eyes, turning my head away.

"It's not important. Be quiet." I whisper.

The boy's eyes narrow. "You're that assassin, aren't you?!" He lunges, only to cry out in pain at the muscle of his shoulder being strained by his wound.

"Stay still." I warn, cleaning up the fresh blood. The boy snorts.

"Why should you care?" He snarls.

Biting my lip, I don't answer, wrapping the towel around his wound, tight enough it won't slip off and lose enough it won't hurt. Zane re-enters, crossing his arms across his chest. "Master Garmadon requests out presence."

I nod, removing my hood, and Zane throws the boy over his shoulder. The Serpentine hand the woman back over to me, and we walk in silence until we reach the main chamber. Master Garmadon sits on his throne, looking down at us. "Release my son, Zane." He orders.

Zane does so, and the boy tries to run only for Serpentine to restrain him. "How could you, dad?!" He shouts, beginning to cry.

Avoiding the question, Master Garmadon looks angrily at Zane. "Why did you harm him?"

"I would not have been able to subdue him otherwise." Zane answers. Master Garmadon turns to me, and I motion to the woman.

"Garmadon." The woman bows, and Master Garmadon smiles.

"Misako. Lloyd, meet your mother. We can be a family again." He tells his son, who spits on the floor.

"I hate you! You had them kill my friends! Even your own brother!" Lloyd yells. I turn away, willing myself to not look at them.

"Silence!" Master Garmadon shouts. "I did this so we could be together as a family."

Zane walks forward, daring Lloyd to shout again. He does, crying, "You've been absent my entire life and so has my mother! I don't want to be a family!"

I slip outside, trying to breathe evenly. In a twisted way, this is all my fault. I feel someone place their hands on my shoulders. "Lucine, please don't blame yourself." Zane begs. I lean against him, feeling my legs unable to support my body.

"But I'm to blame." I insist.

"The ninja who killed our father are to blame." Zane steps in front of me with pleading eyes. "I know you feel you should die because of the red ninja's sister. But please, we've already lost our parents. I don't want to lose my sister." He whispers.

Immediately I realize that, while my cause may have been to avenge someone I killed, it was selfish. I have made Zane believe I'm his only family, and it would be wrong to abandon him now. "I'm... I'm sorry." I reply, closing my eyes.

So... That's the chapter! DON'T HATE ME, I HAD STUFF TO DO! YES, STUFF TO DO COUNTS AS AN EXCUSE!

Now, remember people... If you flame me, I will check it, then rate it.

Anyway... The poll has closed! AND THE BAKA SENSEI WILL BE KILLED! *insert evil laugh here* And, of course, the person being saved is...

LLOYD! So he'll live. Either way, till next chapter with the TORTURE OF THE BAKA SENSEI, bye!
