Chapter Two: The Angel We Thought We Knew
The ninja were still shaken up over Zane's death but Cole pointed out that he had never really come back after the first time and that all angel's time on earth were temporary. No one had any doubt that Zane and Pixal were probably royalty in heaven as they had been on earth. They were correct however. Zane was king of the afterlife because the first spinjitzu master had passed him the crown. Zane was the most powerful angel other than his wife Pixal and always had been after the overlord incident. All the ninja didn't like the fact that Zane never showed them who he truly was and therefore had to pay the price of being hated on by Kai. Wu was distressed by this as well. Zane had been a link to the next life and had powers that he had to conceal. Zane had come back as an angel to find his love but the ones he had called brothers didn't give it to him. No one blamed Zane for staying with the dragons however him being gone forever with no chance of coming back had been a devastating blow to the team. often times Lloyd would awaken from a nightmare about Zane shouting at all of them and end up apologizing into his pillow while crying. Kai was being ignored by Cole mostly because Cole had taken up Zane's old habit of meditating. The Ninja ghost hardly spoke or ate because he spent so much time on the roof trying with all his might to contact 's death had hit Cole harder than everyone else because he knew what it was like to be a spirit trapped in the physical remembered how Zane had transformed into hundreds of snowflakes and now Cole just wished that he himself could disappear into dust and fly off into the sunset. Cole wanted peace and to no longer be trapped. He needed to find out if Zane could grant him this. After six hours of meditation Cole gave up and opened his eyes. He would try again tomorrow. Cole sighed as he went down to dinner but he just picked at his food. Jay was talking about all the good times they used to have with Zane when Cole just lost it.
"SHUT UP! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! YOU TALK ABOUT ZANE'S RETURN LIKE HE WASN'T TRAPPED HERE LIKE I AM! HE WAS TRAPPED AND BROKE FREE LIKE I WANT TO DO. I WANT TO TURN INTO DUST AND FLOAT TOWARD THE SUNSET. I WANT TO BE FREE,I WANT TO BE AT PEACE, I WANT TO GO AND BE WITH MY BROTHER. I SPEND EACH AND EVERY DAY TRYING TO REACH HIM AND YET I STILL CAN'T GET THERE. I WANT TO GO, I WANT TO BE FREE FROM THIS LIFE. NONE OF YOU GET WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE SO TRAPPED WHEN FREEDOM FEELS SO CLOSE. I'M SICK OF IT AND ZANE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO FELT EXACTLY THE SAME AND YET WE NEVER REALIZED IT. I WANT TO LEAVE,I WANT TO BE WITH MY BROTHER . I JUST WANT FREEDOM" shouted Cole.
Everyone cowered under the hurt filled desperate rage of the black ninja
"Cole, calm down,please we all feel bad for how we treated Zane but you can't be serious about leaving us because of this." said Lloyd.
"And why can't I want to be free Lloyd?Why would you want to deprive me of seeing paradise? All I ask for is to be free like Zane and yet you wish to keep me here without even considering the fact that I feel like a prisoner. If any of you could see what I see each and every day you would understand. I see the most beautiful light and yet I stand unmoving in the darkest tunnel unable to reach it. I stand arms length away from freedom and yet I can't reach it. That is what it is like to be a ghost brothers, that is how Zane felt and if he had only told me maybe I could finally escape this torture. But no you don't want me to go, you want to keep me trapped here for eternity. You didn't care about Zane and now you don't care about me. I stayed behind to get that scroll essentially giving up my life like Zane did for us all during the overlord incident. You deprive me of my right to freedom by painless means perhaps I should go swimming for my freedom though I do not wish to be in pain when I finally get to that place just out of reach." said Cole in a rather hurt but calm voice before floating out of the room leaving all his friends in stunned shame.
