"Ooh, looks like you have a team Zane. But it is useless, I am invincible." The Chosen Ninja turned to face Drakel.
"I know your weakness Drakel. You will not win this. Stand down now and you will not be harmed." Zane said, hearing the ninja battling with Drakel's guards.
"I am afraid I can't do that. It's a pity you are going to die, you could have been a great ruler." Drakel flew at Zane, grabbing his arm and hovered in the air above the ninja.
"STOP THIS DRAKEL! THINK OF YOUR SON! Zane twisted in the air to face Drakel.
"My son doesn't know who I am. HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OF HIM!" "HE IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK! I CAN SENSE HIM NEAR US!"
"My son is gone." He let go of Zane's arm.
"ZANE USE YOUR POWERS!" Kai yelled and hit his sword hilt on a soldier's head
"I GOT HIM!" Ash made a pile of snow for Zane to land on.
"Thanks Ash." Zane panted. "I thought I was a goner." Drakel growled and pointed his sword at the Chosen Ninjas.
"I WILL FINISH YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL!"
"Not today. ICE" Zane shot a column of ice at Drakels wings.
"FROST!"
"MOON!"
"SUN!"
Together the ninja shot their elements at Drakel, making a tear in his wings. He came crashing to the ground with his wings bleeding purple.
"Zane! COME AND FACE ME WITHOUT YOUR NINJA!" He took out a black sword.
"Ash, Leo, Dakota. Be prepared to shoot your elements to me, surround him."
"But wouldn't that be dangerous for you? It could kill you." Leo pointed out.
"I-I will be fine." Leo didn't look convinced but in the end he just nodded. Zane took out his shuriken and approached his enemy. "Ready?" Drakel grinned and raised his sword. "I will show you that good always wins." Zane threw his shuriken at Drakel's sword arm, he blocked it. Drakel ran forward and lashed his sword at Zane. Zane ducked and kicked Drakel's leg out from under him. Drakel fell and stretched his wings, hitting Zane in the face.
"BE CAREFUL ZANE! HE HAS AN ADVANTAGE!"
"I FIGURED THAT OUT ALREADY." Zane curled his fist and got a strike in Drakel's midsection. He grabbed Drakel's shoulder and yelled to the Chosen Ninja. "NOW!" Leo shot his powers at Zane, stars flying everywhere. Dakota shot a bright yellow light, Drakel wincing at the light. Ash and Zane combined their powers. The other ninja watched, their enemies defeated.
"NOW WHAT?!"
"ASH BREAK THE POWER STREAM BETWEEN US! LEO DAKOTA STAND BACK!"
"WHAT ABOUT YOU?"
"I will do what I have to."
"Be careful and come back to us." Ash looked away and clamped his hands together, stopping the power stream. Zane made a dome of ice around him and Drakel to keep his friends safe. He closed his eyes and thought of all the battles he won. He pictured when he found out he was a robot, winning the Blade Cup, the Final Battle, using Spinjitzu for the first time, singing to Luna, finding Ash and his father as a small explosion surrounded him. Zane smiled, a tear running down his cheek and cold electricity shot up his back.
"ZANE! NO!"
The bright light vanished, leaving Drakel on the ground steaming.
"Where's Zane?" Lloyd called his golden dragon and searched the area. "FOUND HIM!" Zane was in the middle of Ninjago City, a crowd forming. Kai and Jay pushed through the crowd and knelt beside their fallen brother.
"Is he...?" Kai started.
"No he's still alive. Barely." Jay opened Zane's chest to try to repair him but he got shocked. "His system is short circuiting. It's beyond repair, I'm sorry Kai." Kai tackled Jay .
"THERE HAS TO BE A WAY! HE CAN'T GO LIKE THIS! FIND A WAY TO SAVE HIM YOU'RE GOOD WITH MECHANICS!" Jay pushed Kai off him and looked straight into his amber eyes.
"His system will shut down. There is nothing I can do, if I had my tools I could temporarily stop his system from short circuiting but otherwise he won't be able to survive this."
"W-what happened?" Drakel walked up, rubbing his head. His eyes were no longer red, they were green.
Leah and Ash burst through the crowd and fell next to their brother, pushing Kai and Jay out of the way.(that rhymed)
Leah started crying and held onto her dying brother. The crowd murmured softly to each other, watching the siblings spend their last moments with Zane.
"H-he saved us." Cole sank to his knees. "'A sacrifice will be made that started in the beginning.' He knew it was him, but he didn't want to tell us." Cole punched a hole in the road. "BUT ITS NOT FAIR HE'S TOO YOUNG TO DIE! HE'S HAD TOO MANY NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCES! HE CAN'T BE DEAD!"
"Cole, life's never fair." Lloyd reminded him. Drakel fell next to Zane's brothers.
"I'm so sorry. I-I didn't know what I was doing." His eyes met Dakota's. "S-son?" Dakota's jaw dropped.
"Dad?" Drakel hugged his son and, after hesitating, Dakota hugged back.
"I though I would never see you again." Drakel whispered.
"Drakel, do you know why Zane's system is short circuiting?"
"I would prefer to be called Drake now. What happened was electricity went up around us, since Zane had metal he attracted it. My guess is, it reached his chest panel."
