Zane wakes up, gasping, shouts in surprise as Jay stares into his face beside his bed
"Jay!" Zane continues gasping for breath "I just had a terrible nightmare!"
"Oh, I'm afraid it's not a dream, Zane. It's real, Cole's about to beat your high score" Jay tells him
Zane shakes his head "Not that. I had a nightmare, something terrible is going to happen. There was an evil serpent with a weapon, and it zapped me with it, and there was an ice castle, and a dragon, and a—"
"Shh shh, relax, Zane. It was just a dream" Jay inturrupts
Zane points, emphasizing "It was a vision!"
"Zane, when was the last time one of your visions actually came true?" Jay questions
"They all came true" Zane tells him
"Uh, like which?" Jay asks
Zane looks annoyed "Like the vision about the Titanium Dragon, and the vision before that about the Green Ninja, and the time before that about the—"
Jay dismisses his explanations with a wave "Okay, okay, but this is different" He opens the shoji door "Now seriously, Cole is about to beat your Lava Zombie score and I don't want to miss it, so come on!" he leaves
Zane sighs before walking out to where the Ninja watch as Cole plays Lava Zombies.
"Get the guy on the left!" Lloyd shouts and Cole smashes the zombie on the left, then to the right.
"Cole, you're on fiyah!" Kai shouts
"Does everything have to be a fire reference?" Reika questions
"When you're the master of fire, course it does," Kai replies
Cole smashes the last zombie and the game finishes.
"Oh, you did it!" Nya shouts
"Woohoo!" Cole cheers
"Yeah! High score!" Lloyd shouts
Kai laughs "Haha that was awesome!
"Woohoo! That was Zombie King!" Cole shouts
"Alright, Cole!" Lloyd shouts
The Ninja continue cheering.
Zane smiles "Congratulations, Cole. That is quite an achievement"
"Thanks, buddy. No hard feelings?" Cole questions
Zane nods "Of course not"
Cole sighs and rubs his arm "Good, because my arm is pretty sore"
"I'm sore just from watching" Nya comments
"Know what I'm thinking?" Kai smirks
The Ninja jump up and cheer "Hot tub!!"
"You've got to be kidding me" Aria says as she unplugs her ears "I'm out"
Aria walks out of the bounty. She walks through the woods alone and sighs. She stood in place and breathed in as the wind around her blows. Only out here could she be at peace.
"Enjoying the peace?" Wu asks walking up to her
Aria smiles "Yes, I prefer it much over the castle."
Wu smiles and stands next to her, he closed his eye and enjoyed the flow of the wind like Aria was.
Wu chuckles "I remember when we first started, you were but a small child without a family, but now you have grown."
"They truly feel like my family" Aria admits "I have always doubted that until now."
