After The Blackout [⚠,⏰]

Chapter Two

Welcome to Borg Industries

A couple hours later, the tour was set to begin. A young lady with black hair wearing a red type of dress was driving a bus full of children, all of which were looking around at the technical advancements their well known city made. A graying man sat next to the girl in red driving, a hat on his head and a blue cup of tea in his hands.

A brown haired young man in a light blue sweater and light brown pants who was looking out the window with the kids, a smile across his face. His light brown eyes filled with excitement. He had a slight, but noticeable space in his right eyebrow, which made him easy to pick out from the other three.

There was another young man with brown hair, but his hair was a bit darker and spiky and his eyes were an emerald green color. He wore a brown suit with red tie, an unimpressed look on his face.

Across from him, a young man with his arms folded over his chest. He had black shaggy hair, neatly brushed towards the left and sticking up in places. His eyes were dark brown that looked like they mixed with a dark gray, and he wore a brown sweater, lighter than the suit his friend wore, and black pants. His skin was also a bit darker than the last two. The last of the four sat farther in the back, watching the kids who sat near him.

His light blonde hair was brushed to the back, with the exception of a piece that spiked up and hung down in front of his face. He had a lighter blue sweater vest that had snowflakes going across it. His light, icy blue eyes were looking around at the bright lights on the buildings as they moved in the city.

There was a sudden jolt, led by a few screams from the kids in the bus. The young lady in red grasped the steering wheel tightly and gasped, realizing that she hit a man's truck.

"Seriously, who uses wheels anymore?!" the man from the truck called out, an angered tone in his voice. The young man in the brown sweater quickly climbed to his feet and walked off the bus. "Don't worry sir, I'll help you out!" he said and pushed his sleeves up. "Time for some old school muscle tool!" he then walked over to the truck and picked it up, moving it over to the side.

"Stand back, pedestrian." said a robot, probably made to monitor street activity. "Who you callin' 'pedestrian'?" the raven haired teen said, turning around to face it. "It appears that our help is not welcome.." the blonde teenager spoke. "Well, I prefer traveling the old fashioned way..on foot.." the older man said, looking at the teen in the lighter blue sweater vest, then he stepped off the bus. "Besides, it's not like we can't find where we're going.."

The Head Master, the five young teachers, and their students then headed off across the street to the giant tower known as Borg Industries. The students looked around, surprised at how big the building was on the inside.

The young man in the brown suit looked around, still not impressed with it all. The automated doors closed before he could get his other foot in the door, causing him to grunt a bit and move his leg to get his foot free.

Soon, footsteps were heard and a female voice soon followed after. "Welcome to Borg Industries. I'm P.I.X.A.L. Cyrus' Primary Interactive X-ternal Assistant Lifeform. I'm sorry to hear about the traffic accident." She wore purple shirt with only one sleeve and purple pants to match. "Wow, news travels fast!" the young man in the brown sweater said with a smile on his face.

"Everything in New Ninjago City is fully automated and interconnected. Your antiquated bus should be ready shortly." P.I.X.A.L stated then turned to the teenager in the sweater vest. "You are Zane, a Droid like me. What does 'Zane' stand for?" she asked. "I stand for peace..freedom..and courage in the face of all who threaten Ninjago-" "She means your name, tin head!" The teenager in the light blue sweater said, cutting Zane's sentence short. "Well, I guess I'm just..... Zane.." he said, smiling slightly. "Permission to scan?" P.I.X.A.L asked. Zane stumbled over his words a bit. "Uh..eh..permission...granted...." he managed to say.

"Heh, check it out! Zane has an admirer!" the light brown haired teen said, gently nudging the girl in red. "Your hardware is outdated and your processor is slow and incompatible with ours." the android with silver hair began. "Peculiar, all androids must recharge our batteries. Yet, curiously, I am unable to locate your energy source. What powers you?" she asked, gently placing her hand on his chest. "I...eh....uh...I don't know...." he replied, a light shade of pink appearing on his cheeks.

After a few minutes, P.I.X.A.L then instructed Nya, the young lady in red, the older man, Sensei Wu, and the students to follow her and told to the four male teachers to see Mr.Borg on the hundredth floor. Kai, the male in the brown suit, finally got his foot thought the door then ran past Zane and made his way to the elevator along with Cole, the man in the brown sweater, and Jay, the male in the light blue sweater.

Zane still stood in the middle of the floor, as if he was caught in a trance. "Hey, Zane...you with us?" Cole called out then Zane snapped out of the trance and followed the other three.

"Black Ninja, Blue Ninja, Red Ninja, White Ninja. Golden Ninja not identified. Wait for action."
