Glacier Frost: A Glaciershipping Fanfiction

1: Where's Zane?

AN: This is set in season two, sometime after Wrong Place, Wrong Time.

It had been a few days since the destruction of the Megaweapon. Lloyd was struggling to train with his new body, and the others weren't having much luck either. Sensei Wu was out on the town, and everyone was doing their own thing: Kai was training with Lloyd, Jay was flirting with Nya while she ignored him and worked on the Bounty, Cole was attempting to bake a cake with little to no avail, and Zane... Where was Zane?

"Hey guys, has anyone seen Zane?" Cole asked, peeking his head out of the smoky kitchen and into the training room.

Kai stopped hitting the punching bag.

"Now that you mention it, I haven't. But he has been acting strange lately." Kai said.

"Me neither," Lloyd said.

"What're you guys talking about?" Nya asked, walking out from the bridge with Jay close behind.

"Nya, have you seen Zane at all today?" Lloyd asked her with increasingly growing concern.

"No?"

"I haven't either. You're right though about the strange part. Like, remember that one time he was just sitting on the railing of the Bounty at night and was just staring at the ground?" Jay joined in.

"You don't think..." Cole asked in concern.

Everyone went silent.

"Garmadon." Everyone said simultaneously.

"But, why would he target Zane and not try to go after the rest of us or Sensei Wu?" Jay asked.

"I don't know, but it sounds like something my dad would do," Lloyd said.

"But we don't know where they are. And might I add HE STILL HAS THE MEGAWEAPON!?!" Jay yelled.

"Jay, we destroyed it, remember?" Cole said.

"Oh yeah haha." Jay said trying to hide his embarresment.

"Actually, I think I may know where they're hiding out," Nya said, waving for the Ninja to follow her.

She led them to the bridge and pulled up a map with a glowing red spot on it.

"Zane's falcon has spotted them approaching the Birchwood Forest. If you were paying attention Jay, maybe you would have noticed that."

Jay let out a huffy sigh.

"If we set a course for them now, we should be able to reach them by sundown." She said, typing in the coordinates.

"I just hope he can last until then," Cole said with a sigh.

"He's strong. He'll be fine." Lloyd reassured him, placing a hand on the shorter man's shoulder.

*Time skip a few hours*

"We've arrived," Nya said.

Everyone looked over the edge to see the snowy forest beneath them. They pulled their hoods down and all climbed onto the ship's anchor.

Lloyd started to climb to the anchor too but Nya stopped him.

"You know what Sensei would say." She said.

"Yeah yeah yeah, the green Ninja is too important yadda yadda yadda." Lloyd let out a sigh, "When will I ever get to go."

"Well boys, if this is the last I'm going to be seeing of you, at least I know it was because we tried to save our brother," Kai said.

"Here here!" Jay said.

"Yeah..." Cole said.

"Don't worry Cole. We'll get him back." Kai said.

"Ok you guys, I'm gonna drop you in three... two... One!"

Everyone let out a screech as they plummeted toward the ground.

"So what exactly is our plan!?" Jay yelled over the wind.

"Get Zane and get the heck out!" Cole yelled back at him.

The anchor smacked into the ground as the three jumped off. They realized they had landed just below a sheer cliff and on top of that was the Serpentine army along with a chained up and blindfolded Zane.

"Let him go before I rock your world!" Cole said, pulling out his scythe.

"Haha rock! Good one Cole!" Jay said.

"Ugh! Can we focus more on the task at hand!?" Kai said angrily.

"If you dare come up here, your friend dropsss." One of the Serpentine said.

"Lord Garmadon'sss ordersss." Another said.

"Well, we can't just leave him there! NinjaaaGooo!" Kai quickly used his Spinjitzu to ascend the cliff side.  

He knocked over some Serpentine and pulled out his sword. The other two followed behind him, taking out the snake army as they went. Jay and Kai held back the Serpentine while Cole made a beeline for Zane.

"You've made a missstake young Ninja. We warned you, now you will sssuffer the conssssequencesss." The Hypnobrai holding Zane said before pushing him off the cliff.

Cole watched in horror as his fellow Ninja fell and repeatedly hit upon the sharp rocks lining the cliff face. Zane grunted in pain as he collided with the boulders. He finally slowed down as he hit a sheet of ice that was covering a lake beneath the cliff.

Cole sped down after his fallen friend. He could tell based on his friend's limp form, he must have hit his head and gotten knocked out. He was about to run over and grab him when he heard the telltale sounds of cracking ice. He watched as Zane was pulled into the icy water below.

He knew he would only have about thirty seconds before he started to go into hypothermic shock. Then what use would he be to Zane? The nindroid was heavy, and he knew it. He needed to get in and out fast. Normally Zane would be fine under icy water, but with most likely broken metal plating, his servos might shut down.

Cole took a deep breath and dived in after his friend.

He grabbed hold of Zane's arm and pulled him over his back. With all of his might, he managed to climb out of the lake with Zane. The other two raced down after them and helped them back to where Nya said she would land the Bounty. Cole looked at the broken down form of his nindroid friend one last time before he passed out from the cold.
