"And that Sensei, is what we found out and what we went through." Jay finishes. Sensei Wu pondered, stroking his beard as he processed all this information.

"This situation has indeed gotten very difficult. Well, i trust you all will come up with a plan for all of this. You may break if you need to. After all, this is quite a lot to take in." Wu says as he begins to leave the bridge.

"Welp! I'm gonna break. Gotta put ice on these bruises ya know." Kai says as he walks off. "Same. Probably a snack break though." Cole says as he walks away.

"Video game break." "Comic book break, they'll probably have some answers." Lloyd says as he exits the bridge leaving you and Zane.

"I guess i'll go and meditate. What about you?" he says and you fold your arms, looking down at the weapons on the table.

"I'll just stay here. Just tell the others to come back here when they're done so we can test these weapons out on the deck." You say and he nods. "See you later." Zane says as he walks off.

Zane went under deck but just before he could head into his room, he was pulled into Cole's room! "What was that for?!" Zane asks his brothers as he's in surprise as Jay quickly closes the door.

"Oh nothing just wanted to have a little ninja meeting, just us guys." Cole said and the others nod with grins on their faces.

"A meeting on what?" "You and Kirstin of course!!" Jay says jumping to the point. Zane's expression widened, "W-what about Kirstin and I? And where is lloyd? If this is a meeting, shouldn't he be involved?"

"He's in his room reading comic books. He said he didn't want to get involved in all this love business." Kai explained rolling his eyes.

"And as for you and Kirstin, what we mean is that you definitely like her!" Cole said folding his arms with a smirk. "A-as a friend, I assure you."

"Well Assurance not taken! You gotta make a move!" Jay exclaimed. "You all can't be serious. What makes you all think I, think otherwise of her??" "You're always asking her stuff, you two are the smartest on this ship and you two understand each other, plus! Your expression widens and you fluster when she's mentioned." Kai said.

"But i have Pixal." "Do you...do you really?" Jay says and Zane kept quiet since he could have no other say. He sighed, "Alright. What might this plan be for me to...'Make a move?'" The ninja exchange glances and smile.

"Here's what will happen and this is totally how you get the girl!" Kai says as they all huddle up.

"Excellent, you boys made it back!" You say with a smile but stay looking down at your tablet, writing down notes using a stylus on a picture you took of a weapon. "Yup! Back to help!" Cole says as he and the other 3 ninja come inside the bridge.

You look up to see who was here but you noticed that Zane and Jay weren't present. Before you could ask where they were, Jay entered. "Where's Zane?" you asked.

"He's coming. So! What's the plan?!" Jay says. "Alright, well, we gotta test out these weapons, see what they do. I'm gonna take notes, then from there we gotta figure out how can we make these weapons usable to us." You explain and they nod.

Just then Zane strolled in the room, "Looking for me?" he asks you all with a wink and a grin. "Yes, actually. But i already explained with what we're gonna do. Now, i noticed a few things about the weapons they use." you say then continue talking.

While you were going on, you noticed the ninja were looking at Zane with a weird smile. It was as if they were signalling him to do something.

"Well that's basically it. You guys can choose what you prefer to test out first." you said and the 4 ninja then began discussing between themselves on who gets what.

"Kirstin?" Zane started. "Yes, Zane?" He smirked, "Are you less than 90 degrees? Because you are acute girl." Was that a...pickup line?? Was he serious right now? "Zane, there's no time to be silly right now. We have work to do." you say putting your stylus in your tablet.

"But i'm crazy about you." he says taking a step closer to you but you step back. "You're being very odd right now zane. Whatever it is you should snap out of it. Now if you don't mind, i'm going to my room." you say as you walk out of the bridge.

"What did you guys do to Zane?!" Lloyd asked them. "We just helped him out on getting Kirstin and him together! That's all!" Jay said and Lloyd facepalmed. "By how?!" "Turning on his funny switch!" Cole said and Lloyd immediately went over to zane and turned off the switch.

Zane sighed in relief, "Thank you lloyd." "Flirting is not how you get the girl. Did it look like it worked?!" lloyd asked the other 3. They looked at each other with a frown and shook their heads.

"Exactly!" "I-i ruined everything with her..." Zane said with a frown. "We're sorry zane. We should know better." Kai said and the other 2 nodded. Zane gave them a small apologetic smile.

"Zane, just be yourself. She already likes you for you." Lloyd said with a smile. Zane nodded, "I must apologize to her. And without a funny switch on." He said as he left the bridge.

"Lloyd why all of a sudden do you know so much about love?" Kai snickers. Lloyd's eyes widen, "I don't! Its just you three were doing something wrong so i had to step in and fix everything!" "Mhm sure greeny." Cole said as the three laugh.

There was a knock on your door. You had a feeling on who it was. "Come in." you said putting your tablet down next to you on your bed. In came Zane, with a frown on his face. You wondered what he had to say now.

"And what could you possibly want?" you ask him. "An apology." "Why for?" "Well, Cole, Kai, and Jay turned my funny switch on and told me to act like that towards you. In hopes of getting you to...impress you, but they were wrong and I am truly sorry for acting like that towards you. I just hope you can forgive me." Zane explained.

You gave him a small smile, "I'm not like other girls. I don't understand why you all think i am. But, I accept your apology. Seeing that its not all entirely your fault. And i wouldn't mind moving on from all this." you say giving Zane's hand a shake. He smiles seeming to feel better.

"Lets get back to work." you said with a smile as you both exit your room and go back to the bridge. "Kirstin!" they all said but you put your hand up to stop them. "I'm going to forget the error you all did and move on. So! Guys grab a weapon and head to the deck!" they all cheer and grab something from the table.

"Zane, since they picked all the weapons, you can help me record and analyze some data." you said as he follows you out onto the deck. "Sure." he said.

"Me first!" Cole volunteers with a grin. He was using the bracelet. He put it on and it did nothing at first. He found a button and pressed it and it then seemed to work. The bracelet expanded into about the size of a belt and it trapped Cole around his waist.

"Hehe a little tight, might as well call this a belt trap!" he said trying to pull his arms out. Just then green goo oozed from it and it started to cover Cole like a cocoon! "Ewww Cole!" Jay snickered. "Get it of-" he said but stopped when it covered him head to toe and hardened.

You poked at it then wrote down some notes. "Zane get him out." you said and he nodded as he threw a shuriken at the Cole Cocoon and it cracked, making the shell come off. Cole gasped for air and coughed and Zane pressed the button on the belt making it turn back into a bracelet.

"Cole you smell great." Kai jokes, holding his nose. Cole quickly takes the bracelet off. "Ugh shut up! I'm gonna shower this off." you all freeze and look at him. "Relax! I always shower in human form obviously!!" he says rolling his eyes and walking down below

"Okay then..who's up next?" you said as you finished taking down notes. "Ooh!! Pick me!!" Jay says excited and you chuckle and nod for him to go. He had the boomerang so you were very interested on how it would work. He threw it and it seemed to function like a real boomerang.

Until blades popped out and it started chasing Jay. "AHHHHHH HEEEELLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!" He yelled and you ducked as it flew overhead. "Use your lightning!" Kai says. Jay was too busy yelling to hear what he said. He ducked and the blade boomerang got stuck in wall next to the door of the lower deck.

Jay panted and looked at it. "Hehe that was a close one. It looks like its dripping something black." he said. "Poison. The blades had poison in them." Zane said and you nodded as you wrote it down. "Ugh i think i'll just lay down right here." Jay said as he laid down on the deck floor.

"Well you do that. Who's next?" you say. "Me!" Kai said and you nod. Kai had one of the guns. He looked at it first then aimed it at the sky. He pulled the trigger and a white and blue energy ball came out and was shot into the sky. "Cool..." Kai says looking at it again.

"Alright almost done! One more left. Go ahead Lloyd." Lloyd nods and holds his gun. He looked around for something to lift. Lloyd aimed the gun at one of the chairs on the deck and blasted it with the gun. He lifted it up in the air then carefully put it back down. He then turned off the weapon.

You finished up writing down observations then smiled. "Good work everyone! I think we're good for today." you say. They cheer and Kai, Jay, and Lloyd go under deck. "Did ya get all that Zane?" you ask him and he gave you a humble smile and pointed to his head.

"Nice! Well uh, see you later." you said and went below deck. Zane smiled, maybe there really was something different about you.
