Chapter 12, YAY!

Disclaimer: Don't own a thing from Ninjago.

"Hurry up, Cole! What, are you slacking off again?" "His" father yelled.

Kai/Cole was panting and gasping for breath as he was trying to keep up with Cole's father. Cole's body may be used to rock climbing, but "his" father was much faster than him. How does he do that?

"Cole, up here!" "His" father motioned.

Kai/Cole managed to catch up, and together they sat, looking at the sun. Kai/Cole grinned. He remembered when his dad was still alive. Kai and Nya would hold each hand, and together they would look at the landscape. His eyes nearly filled with tears...

'Nya, you can do it!' His father encouraged.

Kai looked at his younger sister, who was toddling towards them. He doubted whether she could do it. However, she was promising. Nya was nearly there when suddenly, she fell down. Before his father could stop him, Kai ran towards his sister and gently stood her up. He hugged her and would not let her go.

'I don't wanna let her go, Papa!' Kai bawled.

His father smiled and gently patted him on the head. Kai smiled until...

"...le...ole...COLE! WAKE UP!"

Kai/Cole shook his head to see "his" father glowering at him. He was tapping his foot.

"Mmph! No wonder your Sensei is mad at you! You slack off! Now is time for your punishment!" With that being said, he grabbed Kai/Cole by the collar, dragging him away...

Jay/Kai was casually selling merchandise to the customers. He was having a good time, since carrying all that stuff was soooooooooooooo easy. He stopped to take a breather and was about to continue when suddenly, a burly finger tapped him on the head. He looked up to find a burly man leering at him.

"Uh, can I help you?" Jay/Kai inquired.

"Don't give me that smarty-aleck attitude. Care to explain this?" He held out a samurai helmet that, in Jay/Kai's opinion, was in tip-top shape.

"What about it?"

"IT HAS GOT A DENT IN IT! I EXPECT PERFECTION IN THIS SHOP! BUT WHAT I GET IS THIS!" The burly man roared.

Jay/Kai couldn't understand what this guy's problem was. He clapped his hands over his ears and winced as the burly man roared. Wow, this guy had a bigger temper than Kai had, and that was really saying something.

"Okay, Okay, let me see." He looked at it carefully. He didn't see any dent on it. In fact, this samurai helmet was pristine and perfect.

"I don't see a dent on it..."

"Hmph! Teenagers! If your father had been alive, he would've done a better job than you or that sister of yours!"

That insult about Nya rang in Jay/Kai's ears. He growled, and then lunged for the man. But unfortunately, the burly man grabbed him by the collar and watched him squirm for a few seconds. Then, he left the shop as fast as he could, with Jay/Kai gasping for breath and glaring at him...

"...So the only way to get you guys back to normal is to hope that Milky concocts a plan before anyone finds out." Nya said.

Zane/Jay nodded. Nya took this whole thing really well. They were in a restaurant where the privacy was compatible. Zane/Jay told her of Milky, and what they were planning to do.

"So that's why "Kai" was acting weird around me..." Nya muttered.

Zane/Jay nodded and looked around. This was a very nice place. He looked up at the ceiling and closed his eyes. He could just imagine Jay having a hard time in the shop, Kai was having a hard time with Cole's father. But his main worry was Cole.

"Zane, is something wrong?" Nya asked worriedly.

"Cole is in my body. And the sixth sense, somehow, stayed in my body. Cole does not know how to use sixth sense properly..." He shivered.

"What would happen if you misuse the sixth sense, Zane?" Nya continued.

"Potential energy would be lost, and you would get tired out easily. Depending on the situation you are in, that could be either good or bad. Sensei Wu wanted to test him/me underwater, so that is bad."

Nya gasped and then raced out, but not before putting money on the bill and then grabbing Zane/Jay by the hand. Zane/Jay knew the cause of alarm, and frankly, he hoped Sensei Wu would save Cole/Zane in time...

Cole/Zane was doing good with the sixth sense in the meantime. He could sense where the Fangblade was being hidden, and Sensei didn't even notice the difference in behavior (That being said, he didn't know Sensei knew the whole time). Everything was going good, and Cole/Zane knew it, until...

'Man, I'm getting really tired...What's happening?' he thought.

Pretty soon, he felt energy getting drained from him. He was losing sight of the Fangblade, and no matter how he tried, he felt exhaustion take over his body and mind. Pretty soon, he felt the cold water rush towards his face and nearly choking him! He felt that this was the end, which was bad since "his" body was originally Zane's.

'What would he say? I would never-...Hey! Who's-?' He felt himself being pulled out of the water.

He coughed and spluttered for breath. Cole/Zane then managed to stand up and saw Sensei Wu looking at him with concern. Cole/Zane took a couple of deep breaths and then bit his lip a little. Was Sensei angry? Was he upset?

"I see that this isn't one of your greatest days...Hm...Well, get some rest. Your fellow ninjas will join you shortly. Ah, look! Here comes Nya and.." Sensei cleared his throat and emphasized. "..."Jay"..." He then left to get his tea.

Cole/Zane looked to see Nya and Zane/Jay coming towards him.

"Zane, are you okay?" Nya inquired.

Cole/Zane nodded and headed for the bedroom, with Zane/Jay following...Nya then waited for the other two ninjas to arrive.

Pythor/Skales was rubbing his head in agonizing pain, while Skales/Pythor was trying to calm the other generals down. They were tired of waiting and wanted to attack at the right moment, however Skales/Pythor wanted to attack at this very minute. The others disagreed, and so Skales/Pythor was making a compromise. The other generals didn't want a compromise, and so they made an ultimatium.

"Either you give ussssssssss what we want, or elssssssse we make our own decisssssionssss." Fangtom replied. So saying, the other generals left.

Skales/Pythor put his head on the table and groaned. Pythor/Skales put a hand on Skales/Pythor's shoulder and patted him in a comforting manner.

"Hey, it'ssssss not eassssy being general, now, issssss it?" Pythor/Skales joked.

"No, it is not. Please help me." Skales/Pythor pleaded.

"In timessssss like thisssss, you mussssst do what they want." Pythor/Skales advised.

Skales/Pythor nodded and left to deal with the generals. While Pythor/Skales was not left to deal with the pressure, he had his fair share of hardships too. Skales wasn't trying to be spiteful, he just wanted his message across. And he did get the message across. Message...across...hm...this message could also apply to the ninjas as well.

'And considering this is a Friday...hm...strange. I feel this has been done before, but I just don't know where...hm...' Pythor/Skales contemplated.

A/N: Looks like this aren't going smoothly as the ninjas expected! :p! Oh well.

Yes...Pythor does keep track of the days. Sheesh.

This whole plot and that day Friday is a reference to Freaky Friday. Be careful of what you wish for!

Sensei Wu: Yes...lucky the ninjas didn't find out that I knew the whole time.

...Yeah...Keeping thinking that...:)!

Hope you like it!
