Fed Up
Hey! So this is a little thing I wrote for my good friend @RavenKnight3035 's birthday which was around a week ago!
I guess she liked it because she told me I should post this so i guess I am?
Also s/o to@Lightning_Dragon_101 for helping me out with this!
I'm going to post them all at once because I don't really see a point in waiting? But just letting you all know that I procrastinated kind of hard when I wrote this, so I had written Kai, Lloyd, and Nya's parts the day I gave it her, so they aren't the best!
Anyways, I know nothing about video games, so that's why this one sucks *thumbs up*

Fed Up:
Zane might have let Kai off the hook if he weren't completely, utterly, undeniably fed up.
It always pained Zane to say that there are times when he hated Kai. Specifically when the red ninja was playing video games.
Cole didn't play video games too often but when he did he got competitive, and sure Jay and Lloyd fought a lot when it came to them, but when it all comes down to it, all three are fine.
Kai, on the other hand, is arrogant when playing video games. So completely arrogant.
And Zane hated arrogant people.
Yes, Kai has an inflated ego, no one can deny that, but he was always borderline arrogant, not completely arrogant.
Each time the four played video games, and he watched, he wanted to plug his ears and scream "SHUT UP!" because the rude comments Kai made and the boasting that protruded from him made his blood boil.
So, yeah. There were times when Zane hated Kai.
----
Zane was finally sick of it one night after an intense round of video games. He, personally, did not play, but the rest of his brothers did, and even Nya joined in.
Needless to say, they were playing Kai's favorite game.
And he was winning.
And that really pissed Zane off.
The five were playing Fist to Face Two, a sort of wrestling game, and Kai was being, well arrogant.
"Haha!" he cried as his avatar aggressively pummelled his sister's. "Eat it, Nya!"
Nya just rolled her eyes at the comment and didn't say anything as she waited for her character to get more energy.
"WOOO! GET REKT, JAY!" he hollered as he did the same to his teammate.
Jay muttered something under his breath and tapped his foot as he impatiently waited to be revived as well.
Zane frowned as Kai continually yelled mean things in the direction of his brothers. Kai was never this intense while playing video games but for some odd reason Kai was being especially irritable today and Zane was this close to doing something about it.
Lloyd's character died at one point and when he grumbled about it, Kai's response was "If you're so good, how come you died?" followed by him cackling.
"Okay, I'm done!' Cole cried after dying for the sixth time. "Can we play something else? Something less aggressive perhaps? Maybe something Kai sucks at?"
Kai scoffed. "Yeah, like I suck at anything!"
"Okay, fine then. Something easier like Wii Sports Resort or something?" asked Cole.
"Oo can we!" Jay piped up, suddenly excited. "I want to play basketball!"
Kai groaned. "Basketball? Really?" Jay stuck his tongue out at the red ninja. "Sure, whatever, fine. Let's play Wii Sports Resort!" Everyone cheered, happy that they would no longer play Kai's dumb wrestling game. "But I'll still beat you all!"
----
And beat them Kai did.
It almost wasn't fair, in a way. Kai genuinely was good at video games. It was ridiculous how good he was. They played basketball in teams: Kai and Nya versus Jay and Cole (Lloyd sat this round out). Kai and Jay won, although Kai never passed the ball to Jay. He made all the baskets and did all of the blocking.
Then they tried the other type of basketball, the three-point contest one. Kai won that.
Wakeboarding. Kai.
Wrestling. Kai.
Archery. Kai.
Bowling. Kai.
Kai won everything!
Zane finally got so fed up with Kai winning that he challenged him one-on-one at his best game, golf.
Kai had scoffed, saying it would be an easy win.
The sad thing was, it was true. Kai kicked Zane's butt in golf for some odd reason. "How?" was all Zane managed to say.
Kai sighed happily. "Well, I guess you just suck at video games, Zane. I AM THE ULTIMATE CHAMPION! NO ONE CAN BEAT ME!" He pumped his fists in the air, stood up, bowed, then walked away, probably to go to bed as he had just won every single game, everyone was annoyed, and everyone was tired.
"It's just not worth it anymore," Cole yawned, turning the game off. "Maybe we should just never play against him again? Then he won't win."
"Ugh, but I'm good at Mario Kart!" whined Jay. "I usually beat him in that!"
"Not the last time we played," mumbled Lloyd.
"That was one time!" Jay screeched, throwing his hands in the air. "He beat me one time!"
"Yeah, well one time is enough to inflate his ego," Cole stated. "Let's all just go to bed and we'll deal with him in the morning."
"I will be there in a moment," Zane spoke up as the others began to leave the room. He held up the book he had been reading an hour ago. "I want to finish the chapter!" He got tired nods from the team.
Once they had all left and he was sure he was alone, he grabbed the remote and a controller. He turned the volume down all of the way then turned Wii Sports Resort back on. He pulled the golfing game back up. "Screw you, Kai," he muttered as he pressed play. "You're going to regret ever telling me I suck at video games."
----
Zane did not go to bed at all that night. He spent it playing every single game on Wii Sports Resort. And when he said every game, he meant every game. He played golf three times, just to make sure he really was good at the game. How Kai beat him was beyond his logical perimeters. He played until he got the high score, then moved onto to wrestling. He saw Kai's mii had the high score for that game, so he played until he beat his high score there.
Then he played basketball, both types, and beat his high score there.
Zane played every single game that Wii Sports Resort had until he had every single high score.
He was about to shut the tv off when he realized that of he could beat all of Kai's high scores on this simple wii game, maybe there's a chance he could beat every single high score he had on every game the red ninja owned.
So, he pulled Fist to Face Two out and started playing.
This game was genuinely harder than Wii Sports Resort. Zane was never too fond of the violent games, and whenever Kai insisted everyone played this one he just sat and read his book, as it wasn't even entertaining to watch.
He had to look up the rules and read them through a few times before going through with the game.
It took him the rest of the night, but he had gotten to second place. He was sooooo close to beating Kai! But then he heard the tell-tale signs of someone getting up and he had to shut the game off. There was no reason to let everyone know what he's been up to just yet.
The hardest part of it all was distracting the team. Since he didn't want anyone knowing what he was doing, he had to find a way to keep the team away from playing video games.
Cole and Nya weren't really the problem. It was the other three who he really had to work at to keep them away.
After training, showers, and dinner that day, Kai had suggested they play video games. Zane immediately shot the idea down, making up some crap about how their lives are too repetitive and they need to do more stuff other than training, video games, and battling evil people.
He got a few shocked looks from his friends, but Jay suddenly agreed and they eventually decided to go out for the night.
The team wondered around the city, stopping at little shops and taking random pictures everywhere. It was nice, really nice actually and in that moment Zane felt content and just so lucky to have such wonderful brothers who-
"Haha! Suck it, Nya!" he heard Kai yell loudly, stopping his train of thought. The team had stopped at a park for a moment, and Kai and Nya had gotten into some kind of fight over something he could only guess was sibling rivalries, and they had both gotten their phones out and began to play each other at a game to settle the score.
It appeared as though Kai won.
That only fueled Zane's anger towards the red ninja. Yeah. He was definitely beating Kai's high score that night.
And beat it he did.
Once the team returned to the Bounty, it was 10:38, and everyone decided to hit the hay. Except Zane, that is.
As soon as everyone was in their respected rooms, Zane returned to the television and began to work on Fist to Face Two.
After two hours of playing, he managed to beat Kai's high score by 184 points. Wow! He felt fantastic! He felt energized! He almost went to bed, but then he realized, why stop there? Kai was arrogant, Kai was occasionally annoying, Kai had an ego the size of Ninjago City... why not beat his high score on every video game they had, not just on Wii Sports Resort and Fist to Face Two?
So, instead of going to bed that night as well, Zane, pulled out Legends of Zelda. He knew it was really only a one player game, but, much like Mario, he could start a different game while saving Kai's. He knew Kai had been stuck on one level for a while, and if he could beat it before Kai did, he would be the champion.
So he spent the rest of the night playing Legend of Zelda. He beat the entire game in that night. It took him hours, it really did, but he finally did it! He was very proud of himself.
His excuse to not play video games that day was that the next episode of his favorite show was coming out and they needed to watch it with him. A pathetic excuse, yes, but he did his research and some show called N.C.I.S' next episode was coming out and it was about this character named McGee and Zane thought he seemed like a good guy from what he'd read about him so he choose that show.
Surprisingly, the team got really into the episode. No one really knew the characters, but after watching the episode they decided to find the first one and watch that. Yes, Zane could say this McGee character was his favorite. He seemed like an intelligent being.
They ended up watching five episodes before they realized that it was 11:34 at night and they should probably sleep.
Needless to say, the entire team went to their rooms pretending to be agents that night (as in they pretended to have guns and cover each other as they walked). Zane wasn't heading to their room just yet, but he did do a few somersaults because that show actually was pretty cool.
He spent that night beating the high scores every level of Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, and and Mario Kart.
Granted, not all of those games really had a high score to beat, it was more of Zane finished the game of Mario before Kai could, he successfully won every Super Smash Bros level, and he beat Kai's score on Mario Kart, although he knew it would soon be beaten by Jay (Zane really did wonder how Kai had beat Jay at Mario Kart, Jay usually won every time).
But, he still wasn't finished. The team still had three games left, and he planned one more sleepless night of winning those before he let anyone see what he had done.
His excuse that night was that Wu had asked him to go grocery shopping and he had forgotten until now (ha, like he would ever forget) and he really needed them to come with him and help because the list was really long.
It took a little while to convince Jay and Kai, but eventually Zane had gotten the whole team to come grocery shopping with him. He had made an excessively long list while the others were showering, and instead of having everyone split up and do it, he insisted it would be faster if they did it all together.
It was definitely not faster. In fact, it added around an extra hour of being at the store since they did it together. It was kind of fun though. They once again took some more pictures, and there were a few times when they pretended to be agents. There was one particularly humorous moment when Lloyd and Jay got bottles of detergent and pretended they were guns, then snuck around isles. They did a few somersaults and rolled on the ground a few times before a worker asked them to stop and put the bottles back.
Jay had muttered, "You're under arrest for being a buzzkill," when the workers back was turned, and the whole team had burst into laughter.
All of the excuses Zane had made to not play video games had turned out rather fun. It kind of made everyone realize there was more to life than video games and training (although... they really do need to train on a daily basis...).
It was nice to see Kai act so normally and not aggressive- and Zane's mind spoke too soon.
There was a little section inside the grocery store with chess and checkers tables for people to play. Kai and Cole had played a round of checkers and when Kai beat Cole, he stood and screamed, "SCREW YOU, BROOKESTONE! I RULE!"
Zane facepalmed as a different employee approached him and told him he was being disruptive. Don't worry, Zane thought to himself. Kai will meet his match soon.
He spent that night playing the last few games.
The first game was Just Dance. He danced every single game until he beat each of the high scores. It wasn't nearly as fun without the music to dance along to, but it was still one of his proudest accomplishments.
The next game was Lego Harry Potter. This was one of everyone's favorite games, as the team were huge Harry Potter fans. This was the easiest game to complete. It had been left untouched for awhile so this one wouldn't matter as much, but Zane did thoroughly enjoy being the first one on the team to complete it.
The last one was another one of Kai's favorites, Fist to Face One. This one was a bit easier than it's sequel, but it was still hard to complete. He spent the rest of the night beating Kai's high score on that one.
----
Okay. This was it. No more excuses, he beat all of the video games they had. He was tired, but it was worth it.
They spent the day training, and then after dinner Kai suggested video games.
Zane did not object this time.
The white ninja sat on the couch, book in hand, eyes hovering over said book, as Kai turned Fist to Face Two on. He looked back down because he was smiling too much.
"WHAT THE HECK!" he heard Kai screech. "Who is yangxiaolong and how did they beat my high score?" he cried indignantly. Everyone's jaws dropped. Someone beat Kai's high score on his best game?
"It wasn't me!" Jay said immediately.
"Do you really think I'm that good?" Cole protested instantly.
"Yang isn't even my favorite character!" Lloyd quickly stated.
"Oh shut up you know it wasn't me," Nya rolled her eyes.
Kai turned to look at Zane who hadn't responded yet. "Do not look at me, Kai. I suck at video games," he said cooly.
Kai screamed in frustration.
He then became paranoid, as he should be, and started checking all of his high scores.
He was rather upset to see that yangxiaolong had beat all of them.
Kai screamed once more, and oddly enough, his annoying screams soothed Zane into the sleep he had missed out on. "That's what you get, Kai," he mumbled before curling up with his book and falling asleep.

Hope you all enjoyed! Sorry this isn't the best chapter, but it exists I guess!
Oh and the username I had for Zane is a reference to a character from one of Raven's favorite 'shows', RWBY!
