A Deadly Fate

Blank Eyes

Chapter 19

Zane's body looked calm but occasionally he would twitch and his face would tense up and spark.

Jay sprang awake after hearing his friends call out to Zane. He blinked lazily and his attention followed the other stares.

Jay quickly stood up and reached across the bed and rested a hand on Zane's head. The sparks stopped but Zane continued to twitch.

Nya joined in assisting Jay. Nya moved Zane's body to lean side ways on the bed and his arm right arm fell off the bed to show more of Zane's face.

"Not again! Not again! I forgot to remind Zane to not shut down! This is my fault!" Nya exclaimed while she worked her way to open Zane's chest door.

Jay continued to calm the sparking with his elemental power and he said, "Your fault?! I'm at fault too! I can't believe I'm so dumb to forgot that we all are struggling right now."

Lloyd glanced between the two, "Wait what's going on? This has happened before?"

Jay awkwardly stretched across the bed and over Kai's legs looked to Lloyd and realized that they also forgot to inform Lloyd of Zane's situation.

"Wow I'm a terrible friend... When you were in the back, Zane was shut off to self heal or whatever and this happened when he tried to turn on." Jay explained and Lloyd took a deep breath to contain himself.

"How did you fix him before?" Lloyd asked as he inched closer to help in anyway he could.

"We didn't! He turned on before we had the chance to do anything!" Jay answered as he shifted around the bed while keeping a hand on Zane's head.

Nya manage to get Zane's ninja gi open to access his chest panel. She opened the chest door and the normal blue glow Zane gives off was going from bright to dim, bright to dim.

"That's not good! He keeps going in and out." Nya reached to checked the wires and she get zapped. She drew back and shook her hand from the slight pain. "Jay you're supposed to prevent him from shocking me."

"Sorry"

Zane's eyes opened slowly and he looked straight ahead and Nya moved into his line of sight.

"Are you with us? You okay?" Nya asked and Zane didn't move or acknowledge that she was there and his eyes slowly closed. She looked up to Jay. "I think when I got close to him he almost woke up. Maybe you should shock him."

"What! Are you nuts?!"

"Jay just do it. He shocked me and almost woke up. So maybe if you shock back? It's worth a shot."

Jay sighed and whispered to himself, "Ok ok ok... this is crazy... I'm not a bad friend." He took a deep breath and sent a little electricity through his nindroid friend.

Zane jerked and his eyes opened. He gasp for air then went limb again. He closed his eyes and he looked calm despite the situation.

"Zane? Zane! Can you hear us?!" Nya asked Zane as he leaned against the hospital bed. Lloyd was hovering over Jay nervously.

"Should I call Dr. Roberts back in here?" Lloyd suggested.

"He's a doctor not a mechanic." Jay said in concentration.

"Maybe he will have something to help? Tools maybe?" Lloyd continued and Jay looked up to him. Before Jay answered Lloyd pushed the call button.

Kai was still holding his chest in pain. He was trying to help Zane but the movement of sitting up was killing him.

Dr. Roberts made record time getting to the room and he still looked staggered. He combed his hair with his fingers as he walked in.

"What's wrong Kai?" The Doctor asked as he came to the bed side.

Kai leaned back on the pillows and hissed in pain. "Not me, him." Kai said and pointed to the sparking nindroid.

Dr. Robots went around the bed to get a better look at Zane. "What happened?"

Nya fidgeted with some wires and she flinched away with each spark. "Something is wrong with Zane's system and I can't figure it out."

Dr. Roberts looked nervous and he grabbed the trim of his scrubs. "I-I uhh... I don't know how to help.. he's a robot-"

"-nindroid!" Jay interrupted.

Dr. Roberts continued, "I can call someone to help."

Lloyd grabbed the bed rail and tried to avoid looking at Zane sparking. "Do you have tools maybe?"

The doctor brightened up, "Yes! There are some in the janitors closet and there is a small generator too."

Jay looked up to him, "Generator? That might help." Dr. Roberts nodded and left to retrieve the tools and generator.

Nya found a split wire and she held the ends together and started to look around. She whispered to herself, "lighter... lighter" She raised her voice, "I need a lighter."

Kai sat up and ignored the pain but he couldn't hide it on his face. He leaned forward as much as he could without disturbing his leg bandages. He reached out his bandage hand to Nya. Kai used his elemental power and lit the tip of his finger on fire.

Nya was shocked at first to see Kai move so much. She moved the wires closer to Kai and he melted them together.

"Thank you, Kai." Nya said and Lloyd help Kai back into a comfortable position.

Kai didn't trust his own voice while in so much pain so he responded with "Mhmm".

Doctor Roberts rushed in with a tool box in one hand and the other pulling in the generator on a cart. A nurse followed him to help steer the generator into the room.

"We have to move him." The doctor announced as he brought the generator to the other side of the hospital bed.

Nya and Jay moved Zane to sit in his chair properly and they pushed it against the wall. The generator was pulled up next to Zane.

A couple of patient minutes later, Zane was hook up to the generator. Nya looked around the room she hesitated over the on switch.

"Here we go." She commented and flicked the switch. The generator roared to life and Zane jerked once in his seat.

Then.. his eyes opened.
