A moment later, Wu was back with Garmadon. Wu sat down as Garmadon leaned on the door. There was a moment of silence as the late afternoon's sun continued on it's way, finding it's self inside of Wu's room. "Zane," Josh Norville started," I have no idea who this Dr. Julien is, but he's not your father. You're the pureblood son of Reid and Norma Narcisse."

"A what?!"

"A pureblood. It means you have a purely pure magical heritage, all the way back to the ancient times, when power and magic was it's greatest. Though extremely rare nowadays, a pureblood means you have inherited the power to use the core of magic, or the most pure and powerful of it. I'm a pureblood myself as well."

There was a moment of silence as they let me sink this in. Josh Norville looked at me with pride and warmth, but instead of feeling proud, I felt like there had to be a mistake. Pureblood? How can I be a pureblood when I don't even have blood? I was a robot, one made by Dr. Julien.

"I think there's been a mistake. I'm not a pureblood, I'm a robot. One made by Dr. Julien." Josh Norville coked an eyebrow at Wu.

"Tell him your part of the story. Then we'll tell ours." Josh Norville nodded.

"It all started back in The Great Gatsby, the dimension in which you were born-"

"Wait, The Great Gatsby dimension?"

Josh Norville nodded. "Yes. You see, the universe is made up of thousands of different lands, or better known as dimensions, that circle around one particular dimension, called the Main Dimension. In a way, it can be described as an outer space universal atom. And all the dimensions have names, such as The Great Gatsby one for example."

"But how did I-"

"Here, let me explain. It all started back in The Great Gatsby, the dimension in which you were born. Now, The Great Gatsby is known for it's dark magic and evilly powerful ways, but no darkness could separate the seemingly good inseparable twin Narcisse brothers. Or so it seemed. Your father and his brother were almost like inseparable. But the older of the two, Conner Cooper, was a bokor. And as he got darker and darker, the farther they got apart.

"Then one day, the darkness finally consumed him, and the bond between them snapped. That night, he brutally killed your mother, father, and brother-"

"I had a brother?"

"Yes. Young Reid William Jr. He was only eight at the time."

"But how did I escape?"

"Your father opened one of these." Josh Norville reached into his pant's pocket, and pulled out a hand sized pink pearl shelled mollusk. "It's a dimension traveler," he said, opening it. A little ray of a weird looking rainbow appeared. " Your father meant to send everyone to a safe dimension, but everyone else didn't make it. You were hardly a year old at the time."

"But how did you know? How come you didn't come get me after all these years?"

"Your father called me earlier that night. He knew the chance of him not surviving and wanted someone there to take care of his family. And I wanted to come get you many times, but I couldn't. Your father had asked to keep you safe. But his brother was still at large. But one month ago, he was finally killed."

I don't know why, but I thought back to my dream earlier that day. Those screams, those pains, that laugh, they all now seemed familiar. I gave a shudder, as that evil, pleased laugh seemed more familiar as it reentered my mind . But there was still one thing bothering me. How did I turn into a robot?

Josh Norville had seemed to noticed my shudder. He smiled sadly.

"But-but, if I was a pureblood, how-how was I turned into a robot?"

"I-I don't know."

Garmadon stopped leaning on the door. "That's when we come in."

He walked over towards me. "It all started ten years ago.."

Flashback

I was at the line of my sanity. Though I had been bitten when I was a young boy by the Great Devour, it took years for the evil in my veins to consume me. But it was on the brick of it. All my life I had struggled with the pain and voices, but I was losing it. And I knew it. I wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

I so happened to be on a small bridge in a small village away from Ninjago City. It was a grey, dull, and rainy day, with pinkish purple flowers falling off the trees and landing on the bridge or the river, which carried the swiftly away. I was shuffling my way across the bridge, during one of my frequent and painful attacks. The evil had long since started in my mind, and was now using voices to persuade me.

I gasped, leaning over the bridge's side. Panting, I felt sweat and rain water rush down my face. "Let it go. Become evil. Come on, Wu-he was always his favorite..."

"He was always his favorite," I whispered before groaning in pain, fighting it back. I quickly backed up, shaking my head, almost falling off the other edge of the bridge.

"Then commmme onnnnn, make Ninjago in yoooouuuurrr image. Shooowwww them. Shoowwww himmmmmmm."

I shook my head.

"No."

Suddenly out of the middle of nowhere, a loud swishing noise was heard. I looked up to find an opening vortex, up in the sky. Air and lightning flushed it's way around it, making it bigger and bigger. I gasped. "What the?"

As the vortex got louder and more violent, something little flew it's way out. It looked like a small white strangely folded blanket. Cared by the wind for a few seconds, it soon found it's way down, sliding down the tall trees' huge and long leaves. It reached the ground, not to far away from the river, where it gave a short little cry. My attack all forgotten, I rushed off the bridge and over towards the blanket. Getting closer, I realized there was something inside. When I was standing right above it, it gave a cute little cry. It was a baby boy.

I bent down, and picked it up amazed. The baby boy, who was so cute with his little blue eyes and the little bit of crispy snow white hair on his head, looked at me with it's young and curious eyes before smiling and gurgling. A little spit bubble even came out of his mouth. I laughed. Suddenly, I couldn't hear the vortex anymore. Looking up, I found out that it had closed. I looked back down at the baby. He was now making cute little baby noises contentedly. Deciding that I should keep him, I smiled and said," Zane. I'll call you Zane."

The next few years went by well. As you grew older, I taught you things, as well as you teaching me things. While I taught you about the big bad wolf and the three little piggies, I remember, that you taught me things like feeling happiness and pride, things I've never felt before as a father, for Misako had taken Lloyd away. As we lived in a small cot in the Ninjago forest, I remember the nights when thunderstorms came, and you ended up in my bed, snuggling up to me, scared.

But it didn't seem to go that way for long. For awhile, I managed to hold back the attacks, but soon they came back, stronger. And I know I couldn't hold on to Zane much longer.

So I took him to the only place I knew he'll be safe. With my brother.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Wu asked, shocked that I was there, never the less, with a little five year old.

I sighed. "Brother, it won't be long till this evil inside my veins consume me. I know it. And I won't be able to control it, I know it. I'm already changing. This is my son, Zane, for instance. I love him dearly, and wouldn't let anything happen to him. But I keep getting dreams, thrills to hurt him, kill him, and I know it's not me. I've be able to hold it off for this long, but I can't much longer. Please, I love him. Please take care of him."

There was a moment of silence. Zane, who couldn't understand this(or had been listening for that matter) stopped playing with the blue toy car I'd let him bring, and looked back and forth at us. He looked sad and scared. "Daddy, did I do something wrong?" He had noticed the look on our faces.

Wu nodded.

"Zane," I said. "You're gonna go live with your Uncle Wu now, okay? It's gonna be alright, I-I promise." I had almost started breaking down into tears, my eyes overflowing with them. Sadness filled Zane's face. He rushed over to me and hugged me.

"No! Me love you Daddy! Please, me sorry, please! Me love you!" He started crying. Tears now flowing freely from my face, I gently pulled him off me. I bent down to reach his level."Zane, this has nothing to do with you. This is not your fault. I-I just can't take care of you anymore."

Zane sniffed. "D-Do you not love me anymore?"

"What?! No, no, no, I just can't. Daddy, he's got problems. Ones you shouldn't have to deal with. Now be good for your uncle okay? I love you."

Zane nodded and we hugged one more time. "I(sniff) love you too, Daddy."

The last thing I remember of little Zane was as I looked back as I left. He was holding on to Wu's hand, with a sad face. Looking at him, I could'a swore he whispered,"Daddy."

Back to Present Time...

There was a very unpleasant quietness as we all took this in. I thought back to those curious, large, but yet, kind looking eyes. Those had been Garmadon's eyes. And he was looking at me with those exact same eyes. But I couldn't look at him. Swinging my eyes to the floor, I couldn't help thinking hard about what he had said. "That car. I still have that blue toy car," I thought suddenly. I had thought, for all those years, that Dr. Julien given it to me. But the more I thought about it, the more old memories slowly started flowing their way back into my mind. I remembered when Garmadon gave me that car. (I had been three at the time.)

I remembered those seemingly endless nights, when the rainstorms had ranged on, and I had snuggled my way to Garmadon. I remembered the love I held for him. I-I even remembered the day he gave me up. As tears made their way into my eyes, I sniffed and rubbed my nose. There was still one thing on my mind. How did I then turn into a robot? I looked up at Josh Norville. "Alright, I believe you," I said before turning to Garmadon. "But how did I turn into a robot?"

Garmadon looked at me, the same love he held for Lloyd shining in his eyes for me. "That, isn't my tale to tell. That's Wu's.

Wu sighed . " I've never thought I'd need to tell you this. Oh well. It all started a month after Garmadon had left you with me..."

Flashback

It all started one rainy, stormy night, completely one month after Garmadon had left Zane. It had been a fine month, but Zane had missed his father terribly and had trouble making friends with the local villager kids. So most of the time, Zane would stay at the monastery and play.

I had just finished tucking him in and telling him a little bedtime story. For some reason, he seemed terrified of the thunder and rain. Then I had left.

As I sat in my room, working, I couldn't help but think about Zane. I had couldn't help but come to love him. I truly at that moment saw myself as his uncle, though Garmadon had told me of the story when he found him before he had left. I couldn't help but think maybe that was why he was terrified of the rain and thunder. As I chuckled at the thought of a little baby Zane slipping and sliding of the rather strangely large and big Ninjago tree leaves, some candle wax steadily made it's way onto a paper I was working on before I realized it. As a loud clap of thunder was to be heard, I cursed underneath my breath.

All of a sudden, a loud bang could be heard. And not one of thunder. My eyes widening, I jumped up, and rushed over to Zane's room, to find little Zane cuddled in a corner, scared, as an evil laugh was to be heard in the darkness. As the lighting flashed I saw, my brother.

Present Time

"Your brother?!" Josh Norville said, shocked. He turned to face Garmadon, who was now back to leaning on the wall, and looking ashamed. Garmadon's eyes fell to the ground. "You?!"

Wu looked at Josh Norville, annoyed. "Yes. Now please shhhh, so I can finish the rest of this. I'm pretty sure Zane would like to hear the rest of this."

I nodded.

Josh Norville grunted, annoyed, but he nodded.

Flashback

As the lighting flashed I saw, my brother. He had completely changed, with his skin now black and his eyes glowing red. The window behind him was completely smashed. No wonder Zane was afraid of him. I was too.

Garmadon laughed again, as he took notice of me. "Well, well, well. I see you did good on that advice I gave you, Wu. But now, if you don't mind, I need to kill my son."

And with that, Garmadon quickly started charging at Zane. As Zane cuddled in the corner, completely frighten and confused, I leapt over there and blocked Garmadon's attack with my Nin-Jo just in time. Garmadon growled as he struggled with his sword to get past my Nin-Jo. Pushing Garmadon back with my Nin-Jo, I quickly grabbed Zane and ran.

As we quickly ran down the hall in the dark, and the lighting flashed, Garmadon calmly just walked out of Zane's room. "Just stop it Wu and give me the boy!"

I looked back at Garmadon as we ran. "Never."

Garmadon growled and his brow deepened. And then, all of the sudden, the unimaginable happened right in front us.As the lightning flashed one more time, our eyes widened as we tried hurriedly to stop sliding on the old hallway floor. Zane gasped.

The other half of the hallway, was steadily starting to break off and rise up into the air, completely destroying the hallway and all of the lower parts of the monastery. Below the steadily and fast rising hallway, seemed to appear a huge endless looking black hole into darkness. Boards that had held the hallway up broke off, and where now rising in mid-air. We were trapped.

Behind us, Garmadon laughed. As we both turned around, we saw Garmadon smiling with his right arm up in the air. "Daddy?" Zane whispered. I looked down at him. He looked completely confused and frightened.

"Zane, that's no longer your father. He's-he's gone."

Garmadon chuckled evilly again. "Right you are Wu. Your so called brother is now long gone. And now I plan to make Ninjago into my own image!"

Garmadon slowly started lowering his arm. The rising hallway slowly slowed to a stop, fifty feet above us. His eyes narrowed at Zane and his smile turned unbearably crazy mad like. "But why plan to make Ninjago into my own image when first, I can sadistically murder my son Zane?!" He winked evilly at me before starting to head toward us, walking slowly, clearly wanting to enjoy every minute of his sadistic killing.

I looked up at the risen half of the hallway. Scared, Zane gulped and clamped his self onto my legs.

As Garmadon slowly made his way towards us, I got an idea. Slowly getting myself free from Zane and looking back and forth at the risen hallway and Garmadon one last time, I started spinning and manged to yell, " Spinjitzu!"

My body was soon consumed inside my tornado-like vortex of creation I had created as I had started spinning. Zane looked shocked. Though he had watch me practice fighting before in the monastery, I'd never shown him my Spinjitzu of creation. Quickly, I spun myself into my brother, who with a loud Oof!, fell to ground. Rushing back towards Zane, I picked him up and threw him safely up onto the raised hallway. As Garmadon slowly got up, I jumped up onto the hallway as well.

"Hurry!" I whispered, motioning for Zane to follow me. As I ran, I thought back to the day when Garmadon had given up Zane and grimaced. I remembered how desperate Garmadon had been a month ago, when he had given him up. I hadn't really given in much thought to the fact that my brother was steadily losing it before. But now I knew why. Why he had given up Zane. And boy was I sure was glad he did.

Below us, Garmadon growled. In a flash, he inhumanly leaped, or seemed to fly, onto the risen hallway right behind us. His eyes narrowed and he swung. Zane, who had been slightly behind me, fell to the ground with a soft whimper. I stopped and looked behind me. Zane's left leg had been swiftly sliced open, fresh red blood now flooding out and staining his once white pajamas. Garmadon walked up to Zane, till he and his sword was right above him. He put his sword right next to Zane's neck. With his smile completely unbearably crazy mad like, he said, "Good night, little boy."

"No!" I cried as the lighting flashed one more time. Garmadon looked up just in time to block my attack and swing me almost over the edge of the hole. I was now clinging to the hanging boards for dear life. I heard Garmadon chuckle as he walked on up to me. "Shame really," he said. "I had really planned to brutely murder my son first. Oh well..."

He swung his weapon down, right next to my throat. "Say goodbye."

Planning to grab his weapon, and pull myself up while pulling him into the hole, I grabbed onto the sword. But instead of that happening, something else did.

"Goodby-ahhhhhhhh!"

I had launched myself onto the weapon, but instead of pulling myself up, we both fell in. Down into the darkness we fell till we hit the ground floor of the monastery. Though dark, I could see we were in the room of the golden weapons. Garmadon had notice it too, for he dropped his now broken sword, it had broke in the fall, and reached out for one of the golden weapons.

"Garmadon, no!" I yelled, jumping up. Garmadon turned to face me, the Nunchucks of Lightning now grabbed in his hand. He swung, sending a bolt of lightning at me, which broke my Nin-Jo and made me fly backwards. Garmadon turned to grab the Scythe of Quakes before coming over to finish me.

"Garmadon, stop! This isn't you! Remember! Remember your son!" I yelled as Garmadon walked closer and closer. I didn't want to hurt him. He-he was my brother. Or at least he once was.

Garmadon chuckled evilly as he stood upon me. " Forget it Wu. Your pathetic excuse as a brother is gone, and is now replaced with me! The all great and powerful me!"

Grimacing, I suddenly launched myself at Garmadon, and Spinjitzued. Garmadon flew all the way back to the wall that held the Golden Weapons, and as the thunder rolled on once again, slammed into it, causing the Sword of Fire and the Shurikens of Ice to fly off. They landed right next to me.

I quickly bent down and picked they up. Before Garmadon could attack once more, I swung the Sword of Fire down, causing a blast of fire to head Garmadon's way. It pushed Garmadon all the way out of the monastery. I slowly followed him.

"Please brother," I said. "Snap out of this!"

Garmadon grinned evilly at me. "Never." He attacked.

I fell to the ground, the shurikens and sword falling out of my reach. Garmadon placed the Scythe of Quakes near my neck.

"Say goodbye brother."

All of what happened so fast, I suddenly felt numb. A huge lightning bolt suddenly snapped at the ground near us, creating a huge sudden endless looking hole and shaking the ground beneath us.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Garmadon yelled, as he stumbled and fell into the endless hole. "I will be back!"

Seconds flew by as I stayed near the hole, completely numb. Then suddenly seemingly remembering what had happened earlier inside, I hurriedly, rushed inside and hopped or crossed over barriers towards Zane. I quickly bent down and tore off some of his not yet stained pajama bottoms and hurriedly wrapped it around his sliced leg. "You're gonna be alright," I promised softly.

The next few minutes flew by, all of which, I felt numb and couldn't do anything. I couldn't believe it. He had finally lost. My brother, he had tried to kill his own son. For the next few minutes I could do nothing but hold onto Zane . I even felt too numb to notice Zane was still frightened and silently crying.
