Hello, Brother. (A Ninjago Fanfic)

Lessons for a Master

Zane's P.O.V.:

I woke up in a cage. I was tied up, couldn't use my powers and I could barely move. My critical systems appeared to be slowly coming back online, but the others were taking a while to reboot.

"Well, well, well, look who's finally awake." A man came close to me.

"What did you do to my friends? My brother?" I demanded.

"They're safe, for now." He said. "But they won't be once your little friend brings Firstbourne here."

"Firstbourne?"

"Yes, Iron Baron is preparing for his greatest catch yet."

"But dragons are magnificent creatures. Hunting them would be disrespectful and wrong."

"You obviously don't know how we do things around here." He laughed. "But do not worry, you and your friends will not be here much longer."

"Why?"

"Iron Baron struck a deal with your young friend. He is going to lead him to the dragon armor in exchange for you and your friends' way home."

"He wouldn't do that. With Firstbourne under his control, he would be unstoppable."

"Oh, he already did. He is taking Iron Baron there as we speak."

"He doesn't know where the dragon armor is anyway. He is leading him into a trap. You must warn him!"

"I'm not falling for that you silly Nindroid." He laughed.

He stepped away and I started to look at the cage I was in. I tried to use my scanners to analyze the cage, but they were offline, as were most of my other features.

I tried to stand up but I couldn't move my leg, or anything really. That electric shock must have temporarily disabled some of my gears and motion systems, rendering me immobile for the time being.

I had no choice but to wait a couple of hours until I was fully operational again. I couldn't hear what was going on outside, but I didn't hear Jay screaming so I figured he was either passed out or Firstborne had not come. I had to get out of here before it does, but it was no use. I just hoped my friends were alright, and that my brother was ok as well.

Echo's P.O.V.:

I came back online and I was tied to a pole with Jay, Cole, Kai and Faith, but I didn't see Wu or my brother. The others looked exhausted.

"What happened?" I asked as I came back online.

"Echo, are you ok?" Jay asked.

"Yes, but where is my brother?" I asked.

"We've been asking the same question." Kai sighed.

"What did I miss?" I asked.

"Wu left to take Iron Baron to the dragon armor, and when they come back he'll set Zane free and let us all ride Firstbourne back home." Cole informed me.

"Iron Baron is a traitor." Faith said. "He will not keep his word. We will be lucky if returns with your friend alive."

"Way to keep the spirits up." Jay rolled his eyes.
