Tick Tock
No One P.O.V
Out in the sea, the Bounty is floating in the waters, Kai, Cole and Jay were looking at the waters and looking at the timer
"Ten minutes! He just broke his own record! The guy's inhuman!" Kai said
Then Akatsuki walked towards them with a towel in his hands
"Is he still under water?" Akatsuki asked
"Yeah, he just broke his own record too" Jay said
"Woah" Then Zane resurfaced
"Amazing!" Cole said
"We're not worthy!" Jay said
"I broke the record?" Zane asked
"You destroyed it!" Kai said
"Okay, okay. Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking? We've been training for so long, I don't think we can get any better. Just think about all we've accomplished" Jay said as they remembered all the things they accomplished so far. Like how Kai ran across flaming rocks, how Jay did a hand stand at a Skyscraper during a lightning storm, and how Cole put more weights on the bell bar with Nya and Jay sitting at the end while holding something
"The question should be raised. Perhaps we reached our true potential?" Zane said as Akatsuki handed him a towel "Thank you, Akatsuki"
"How's Miku?" Kai asked
"I checked on her awhile ago, and she's starting to get a little better. Talking to her helps" Akatsuki said
"That's a relief. Let's go speak to sensei if we reached our true potentials" Zane said as they started walking to sensei's room
While walking, they started talking about their improvements they did, and when they got to sensei's room, they saw him packing some things
"Sensei, what does true potential look like if-" Cole stopped himself
"Our apologies, sensei. We've interrupted you" Zane apologized
"Sigh... I'm sorry if I'm been distant lately. My mind has been elsewhere since Lloyd has gone missing. What can I help you with?" Master Wu asked
"Sensei, what if we've done enough training? What if we've reached our true potential? What if we're ready?" Cole asked
"Heh. You might have reached peak physical condition, but you've yet to reach your inner potential. In each and every one of us, there are obstacles that hold us back. Only when your conquer that fear will your heart be free. Only then you will reach your true potential. Only then will we have a fighting chance to stop the Serpentine from releasing the Great Devourer" Master Wu said
"There's more to the Great Devourer than you've led on, isn't there, sensei?" Zane asked
"Sigh... I too have obstacles within my own heart. Can one of you bring Miku? She should also hear the story that I'm about to tell" Master Wu said
"I'll go get her" Akatsuki volunteered, and left to get Miku from her room
Miku P.O.V
It has been a couple of days since Lloyd was taken, I just got him back and now he's gone again
'At least he's not being harmed or I would've felt his pain... I wish I could've gone with him on that day then I wouldn't feel so lonely...' I thought to myself, and I heard a knock on my door
"Who is it?" I asked
"It's me, Akatsuki. Can I come in?" Akatsuki asked
"Sure" Then he opened my door
"Mr. Wu is gonna tell us a story, and he wants you there" Akatsuki said
"Why?" I asked
"I'm not sure, but we're gonna find out" Akatsuki said as he held out his hand towards me, and I placed my hand on his. Then we started walking towards Uncle Wu's room
Wu's Room
"Mr. Wu, I brought Miku" Akatsuki said
"Miku, how are you feeling?" Uncle Wu asked
"Okay..." I said and I noticed his small luggage "Are you going somewhere?"
"Yes, but don't worry, I won't be gone long. I promise to come back" Uncle Wu said "Now I shall begin to tell the tale from when your father and I were younger"
'A story about him and dad?' I looked at Uncle Wu with a confused look and started telling the story
"Long ago, when I was a young boy, Garmadon and I were more than brothers. We were the best of friends" Uncle Wu said but Jay interrupted
"Wait a minute! I know you two were brothers, but really? The King of Cruelty, the Doer of Destruction, the Captain of Chaos. And you two were friends?" Jay asked, and Akatsuki and I slapped his arm "Ow!"
"Don't interrupt Uncle/Mr. Wu!" We both said, and Uncle Wu continued telling the story
"You see, he did not always have a wicked heart. One day, I lost this very katana. Knowing our father would be mad, my brother told me to go retrieve it. But I refused. He told me not to put off what can be done today, and went to get it himself. When my father found him, he was very ill. For he was bitten by the legendary snake that would grow forever as long as it consumes. A great evil had found its way into my brother's heart. For the snake's venom could turn the purest of things wicked"
"Leave it! Leave me alone! I don't need you! I hate you!" Young Garmadon said
"The snake is the same one that the Serpentine want to re-awaken today"
"Aah! It hurts! It's all Wu's fault!" Young Garmadon said as his eyes glowed red
"It is the snake that took my brother away from me" Uncle Wu said as he finished telling the story
"So, the Great Devourer turned your brother into the Dark Lord?" Kai asked
"It was all my fault" Uncle Wu said as he picked up his luggage for his katana "You four have finished your training. You must now focus on stopping Pythor from collecting the four Fang Blades. But never lose focus on the obstacles that lie within each of your hearts that holds you back from true greatness. Unlock your true potential"
"But how are we supposed to do that, sensei?" Zane asked
"It's up to each of you to discover. Now I must go on a personal journey of my own" Uncle Wu said as he started to leave
"Where are you going?" Jay asked
"To a place you cannot follow" Uncle Wu said
"If you're going for Lloyd, the City of Ouroboros is filled with hundreds of Serpentine. You'll never do it alone" Cole said
"I am going to find someone who can be of aid. The Serpentine have united and grown stronger, and we will need all the help we can get" Uncle Wu said
Jay flew the Bounty to the nearest mountain to drop off Uncle Wu, he was about to leave, but I quickly hugged him
"Please come back safe, Uncle Wu" I said
"I promise, dear niece" Uncle Wu said as he kissed my forehead, and left for his journey
The next day
Nya and the others went to Jamankai village with missing pictures of the Fang Blades, leaving me and Akatsuki at the Bounty
"Um..." I looked at Akatsuki "I was wondering what is your dad like?"
"My dad? From what I heard from Uncle Wu, the evil didn't fully take over my dad after Lloyd and I were born. Then Uncle Wu banished my dad to the Underworld. That's all I know about my dad" I said
"I see" Akatsuki said
"Hey, Akatsuki. Do you think that'll happen to me?" I asked
"What would?"
"Would I turn evil like dad?" I asked again
"I don't think so" Akatsuki answered
"Why?"
"Because I know you won't let the evil take over, you're the strongest person I know" Akatsuki said, and I felt my cheeks turn pink
"That's sweet of you to say" I said as I leaned my head on his shoulder, and he jumped a little
Zane P.O.V
Nya placed the missing poster on the wall, it has picture of the Fang Blade and the phone number in case someone finds it
"This is silly" I said as I held the stack of missing papers
"You have any better ideas?" Cole asked
"Hey, maybe sensei is gonna go get the Samurai for help" Jay said
"The Samurai? I'm sure she's- I mean he's busy looking for the Fang Blade as well" Kai said
"Uh... Is everything all right?" Cole asked
"Yeah, yeah. Why wouldn't it be?" Kai said
"One hundred percent. We're not hiding anything" Nya said
As I was walking around, I suddenly felt something calling me
"Hey, weirdo" The villager called out to me, but I didn't respond "You're making a mess of my store front. Yoo-hoo! You got a problem?! Maybe I should teach you a lesson on manners!"
Then I dropped the papers on the ground, and walked towards the source
"I'm sorry, sir. Sometimes our friend is in another world" I heard Kai said
"He's littering all over the place" The villager complained
"We'll pick it up. So sorry" I heard Cole apologizing, and the villager walked away
"Zane, what's the deal?" Jay asked
I continued looking up and I saw the falcon flying in the air
"Gasp! It's the falcon! Oh my gosh! Everytime we follow it, it leads us to good fortune!" Jay said excitedly, and I started to follow the falcon. Jay and Cole were also following the falcon while Kai told Nya to go back to the Bounty
I followed the falcon through the desert, the snowy mountains, climbed the mountain, but Jay became tired and said he'll catch up. We ran across a fallen tree that was used as a bridge, and it was Cole's turn, he became tired as well, but said he'll catch up once he caught his breath. Leaving only me and Kai still following the falcon, we were now heading towards another snowy area which is also a forest
"Gosh, that bird just keeps going" Kai said as he was trying to catch his breath "Hey, what do you make of this?" Kai pointed at a sign
"I am not familiar with a Treehorn" I said
"It's probably just some wild squirrels, heh" Kai said and I heard the falcon squawking "Well, don't lose him. I'll wait for the other guys to catch up" With that said, I started to follow the falcon again
"Where are we going my mysterious friend?" I asked, and the falcon suddenly started acting weird, and it fell to the ground. I rushed towards the falcon to see if its okay, then sparks started come out from the falcon, and now know what the falcon is "You're a robot?"
I carefully picked up the falcon, I also noticed a symbol on the falcon as well, and started walking to a nearby tree when I heard footsteps approaching. I looked around my surroundings to see what's coming, I got into my battle stance as I continued to look around, and there I saw a another robot
"Intruder! Intruder! Prepare to be terminated!" Then the robot started shooting at me, I dodged the shots. I changed my Golden Weapon into my vehicle. I drove away for a moment, and drove back. My vehicle changed back into my Golden Weapon, I threw my ice shurikens at the robots blaster, and jumped over it. Once my shuriken came back to me, I signaled the robot to come closer. It took out its blaster again and aimed it at me, I moved away from the robot. I climbed on a tree to see if there's a way to stop it, luckily I saw it power motor on its back
"Ninja, go!" I used my Spinjitzu and covered the robot's legs in snow, making it unable to move. I ran towards it, and the robot started shooting again. I dodge the shots, jumped over the robot, and destroyed the power motor on its back. Once the robot is down, I noticed the same symbol I saw on the falcon
"The same symbol" I went towards the falcon, and picked him up. Then I noticed an unusual tree, I decided to investigate it "Where have you brought me, my falcon friend?" I asked as I walked towards the unusual tree, then I noticed the tree had the same symbol and it was also a door. I opened it, and it led me to some stairs leading down. I entered and started walking down. There I saw what looked like someone lived here, and I also noticed a table with blueprints for the falcon "So, this is your home, my mysterious friend" I looked at the blueprints to show me what to do. I followed the instructions, and now the falcon is working again "You brought me here. But why?" The falcon started to fly around again, and I noticed another blueprint. I looked at the blueprint and I couldn't believe my eyes "No! It can't be! No! No!"
No One P.O.V
With Wu
Wu was heading to a teashop in a village, once he entered, ordered something
"I would like to purchase some Traveler's Tea" Wu said
"Never heard of it" The owner said, and Wu placed the money on the counter and the owner left to get a teapot with hot water "You know, those who drink this never return" The owner warned Wu as she put the tea leaves in the pot
"Then I will not bother you again" Wu said as he left the shop
With the Ninjas
Cole and Jay finally caught up with Kai, and they started looking for Zane. While looking for their friend, they noticed a opened door in a tree, and decided to investigate
"Zane?" Kai called out
"Wow, would you look at this place?" Jay asked, looking impressed and he noticed Zane on the ground looking at something "Zane, what's wrong?"
"Are you hurt?" Kai asked
"You okay?" Cole asked
Zane sighed, and looked at the blueprints of himself, and he opened his chest to show his friends his mechanical insides, and they screamed
"You're a robot?" Kai asked, still looking shocked
"All this time, and I never knew" Zane said
"Uh... Guess that explains why you're always so weird. Right?" Jay said, sounding nervous
"The reason I never had a sense of humor was because my funny switch wasn't on" Zane said and he switched on his funny switch
https://youtu.be/GYr2tKG-Rc8
After doing the funny dance and song, Jay was laughing. Then Zane turned off the funny switch and sighed
"Uh... It just makes you more special. You're still the same Zane. Just more, uh... gears" Cole said
"No matter what you're made of, you're still our brother" Kai said
"Really?" Zane asked
"In fact, I bet it even makes you a better ninja" Cole said
"Yeah, and how cool is that I can honestly say: My brother is a nindroid" Jay said
"A nindroid?" Zane looked confused
"Now come on, Pythor is still out there looking for the first Fang Blade, and we need you" Cole said
"You'll have to go on without me. I just don't feel right" Zane said, and they left Zane alone
"We just have to give him time. I don't know how I would feel if I was told I was a robot" Kai said
"You mean a nindroid" Jay corrected Kai
"Yeah, whatever" Kai said
"How the heck do we get out of this place?" Cole asked, and they heard a growl "What's that?"
The sound of stomping was coming closer along with the growling
"Cute, tiny birds?" Jay said, hoping he's right as they put on their hoods over their faces
Then something moved
"Did you see that?!" Cole shouted
"I don't see anything!" Jay said
"I just saw it too!" Kai said and realized what it was "Treehorns!"
The Treehorns started to surround the ninja as they pulled out their Golden Weapons, and they heard the knocked down robot saying 'Intruder! Intruder!' but it broke down again
"Oh great, I think that thing was supposed to protect this place. Guys, it's up to us" Kai said
With Zane
Zane was looking at the blueprints of himself and noticed something
"A memory switch?" Zane opened his chest, and saw the memory switch. He turned it on and all the memories came back to him
https://youtu.be/TmAuBXAfFGE
After regaining all of his memories, Zane shed a tear as he also remembered how his father passed away before turning off his memory switch, he removed a small cloth that covered a photo of him, the falcon and his father. Zane rushed outside to catch up with his friends, and he saw them being attacked by Treehorns
"Leave my friends alone!" Zane shouted as he used his Spinjitzu to knock them down, and started to fight the Treehorns
"What's gotten into Zane?" Cole asked as Jay helped him up
"I don't know, but I like it" Kai said as they gathered
"Ninja, go!" They all used their Spinjitzu to knock down the Treehorns to lower down their numbers, as they fought; the Treehorns started to move away
"Are they re-grouping?" Jay asked, then a loud growl was heading towards them. It was another Treehorn, but bigger "What's that?!"
"The queen" Zane answered
The Treehorn queen growled loudly at the group, Zane stood in front of his friends
"You will not hurt my friends! There is nothing that will hold me back! I know who I am!" Zane said as his body started glowing
"What's happening to him?" Kai asked "Was he programmed to do that?"
"I never seen a robot do that" Jay said
"You mean nindroid" Cole corrected Jay
"Yeah, whatever" Jay said
"Zane has unlocked his true potential!" Cole said
Zane used his powers to freeze the Treehorn queen, with the queen frozen, the other Treehorns ran away. Once the battle ended, Zane went back to normal
"What happened?" Zane asked
"That was awesome!" Jay said
"You should've seen yourself!" Kai said
"I've never seen anything like it!" Cole said, and Zane suddenly realized something
"This must be what sensei meant by unlocking our hearts. I remember now. I remember everything. I remember my father and how he cared for me. I remember where I came from. And I feel stronger for knowing" Zane said
"I'm so jealous! His powers are so cool!" Cole said
"We have our very own nindroid!" Jay said
"Watch out, Pythor. We're coming to get you" Zane said
They were about to leave, when they heard the falcon squawking again
"What is it, my friend?" Zane asked, and the falcon started flying again. Zane started to follow the falcon
"Where is it leading us now? It better not be far again!" Jay said as they started to follow the falcon too
Luckily, the falcon didn't go too far. It landed on a rock
"Why did it bring us here?" Kai asked, and Zane noticed the symbol again on the rock. He pressed a disguised button, and the rock moved to reveal another set of stairs
"Where does this lead to?" Cole asked
"I have no idea. Let's go find out" Zane said as he started walking down the stairs. As they walked down, they found another bunker and another set of blueprints, but it's designs are of a little girl. Next to the blueprints was a moon necklace, the same one that Zane saw in dream
"This necklace... I've seen it in my dream" Zane said
"But what does it mean?" Jay asked
"Hey, look at those" Cole pointed to capsules, one size for a child and the other for a small pet. Zane walked towards the capsules, he looked at them for a moment and saw a open to open the capsule. He pressed it, and Zane backed away as the smoke came out. Once the lid of the capsule fully opened, inside was a little girl, sleeping
(Minus the cute animal ears)
"Huh? What is a kid doing here?" Kai asked
"System offline. Rebooting system" They heard a robotic voice coming from the little girl
"Wait! She's a robot too!" Jay asked sounding excited
"Reboot complete" The robotic voice, and the little girl's eyes started to open up
"Huh? Where am I?" The little girl asked, and her eyes landed on Zane. She smiled when she saw him "Big brother!" The little girl said as she ran towards Zane and hugged him
"Big brother?" Kai, Cole and Jay said sounding confused
"I'm sorry, but who are you?" Zane asked
"Oh! I'm sorry! We never got to meet since father had already passed away" The little girl said "My name is Crystal, and I'm Zane's little sister"
"My... My sister?" Zane looked surprised
"Yep! I was supposed to meet you after father finished building me, but... sadly that didn't happen" Crystal said
"You know what this means Zane? You have another family member" Kai said as he patted Zane's back who was still in shock, and Crystal noticed the moon necklace in his hand
"Oh! My necklace!" Crystal said
"This is yours?" Zane asked and Crystal nodded as Zane handed her back her necklace"Then you're the girl I saw in my dream... My sister..." Zane said as he walked towards Crystal and hugged her
"I'm so happy I got to meet you" Zane said
"Me too! You have no idea long I waited to meet you" Crystal said
"Shall we head home?" Zane asked
"Home?"
"Yes, let's go home. There is someone you must meet. I believe you two will get along wonderfully" Zane said
"Really?! Okay!" Crystal said looking excited, but remembered something "Oh! I can't leave without Snowflake"
"Snowflake?" The guys asked
"She's my pet" Crystal said as she pushed the button on the small capsule. The same smoke came out, once the smoke cleared it revealed a small dog
Crystal walked towards small dog and carefully picked it up
"Okay, time to wake Snowflake" Crystal said softly, and the small dog's started to open. Then it let a yawn
"Aw! It's so cute!" Jay said
"Everyone meet Snowflake. Father created her the same time as he created me. He thought I could use an animal companion to keep me company" Crystal said
"I see. Are you ready to go?" Zane asked as he held out his hand
"Yep! Let's go home!" Crystal said happily as she grab his hand, and they left the bunker
With Wu
Sitting on top of a mountain, Wu was sitting on the ground with the teapot on the fire. Wu got up with the teapot in hand. He poured the tea on the fire, and a blue light appeared on the fire. Wu picked up is katana case and his staff as the portal opened up, then Wu went through the portal. Once he was through, he heard a voice echoing
"Hello, brother. What took you so long?" The voice belonged to Lord Garmadon who started laughing evilly
