Chapter 22
The warning

Zane's POV

W-what were they going to do to me? If your wondering where I am and how I got here, here is your answer:

Flashback

Cole took me away from the bounty to scout the area around us. We ventured off pretty far from the hideout, so that if we were spotted, the stone army would not find the rest of us. I sensed they were planning something.

"Cole, why-" was all I got to say before we were ambushed and I was gagged. They knew something.

"Why-" Cole attempted to say, but was cut off.

"Silence! It seems you do not have the blue one with you..." The one with the face the same color as my ninja suit said (General Kozu)

I believe Cole said "Jay" under his breath.

"It is said the blue one will aid the green ninja in the final battle. And 'he' doesn't like that."

He was not speaking of Jay, though. But before Cole had a chance to say something I was being pulled away.

"ZANE!"

"Bring the blue one tonight. Or else we shut him off and throw him over a cliff." I am not trying to be rude, but I believe Cole will forget something from that warning.

Flashback Finished

I was then taken back to their camp and was thrown in something small and very hot. An ice ninja does not work well in the heat.

Please... Someone help me...

Annalise's POV

We were running to the stone army's camp. After the incident with Zane dying, something happened and I couldn't explain it. That voice it seemed so, I don't know. But after it helped me save Zane's life, it granted me something.

"This is a gift," it had said "please use it for the right thing."

It was the power to read minds. And I had found it very interesting. Zane is the only one who knows. He is the only one I told. We got there, they had Zane with his hands tied behind his back and his panel open. His eyes were full of worry.

We had gotten a call from the stone army on the video phone. They told us what they wanted,

The Golden Fans of Water

But I knew he wasn't telling us something. I try using my mind-reading powers to see what else he wanted. But it would not work. It must not work with live video.

I read Jays mind. He was thinking 'Do not give up hope Zane'

Cole motioned for us to follow him, but we were soon surrounded by stone army warriors. They expected us.

They pushed me in the back. I had no other choice. I surrendered the fans. But something was still up. I then realized it. They didn't want Jay. Even though he would aid Lloyd in the final battle, Jay is not the 'blue ninja' they wanted. It was me...

A/N
Sorry it took forever to upload! I had NESA tests and homework! I hate both of those! But I read something fairly interesting in the Ninjago Character Encyclopedia. Did you know that Fangdam can't talk with either of his heads? I didn't.

NinG out! :)
