Zane's P.O.V:

Another day, another battle. It was routine, right? Just a quirk about being a ninja. Today we were in the open, battling Skales and his army. Oh how sickening they are.
It felt so normal now that it was easy, but today was different. I didn't know until I attacked one Skales and the petty insults flew. "You can't defeat me, ninja." "But I already have." I snickered. He hissed vilely. "Right, scrap metal." I rolled my eyes. "Like I would stoop to your level." I remarked. The battle ceased for a moment. "Of course, because robots are perfect. You could just be shoved in a closet and forgotten about. You don't need food, you don't need sleep, you don't need water...you're like a glorified toaster." I frowned. "Obviously you serve no purpose. You were just made to serve a man's needs." he continued. "Let's skip to the point." I jumped into the air to attack. "You are nobody." he insulted.
I really didn't like that term, and the moment I began to think about it, I hit the ground with a deafening thud. I struggled to my feet while Jay attack the way I'd intended to. Then he walked over to me. "You alright?" he asked. He put out his arm and helped me up. "Yeah, I'm fine." that had been a lie.
As we left, the others were chatting about something; my mind wandered too far to know what it was. "Right, Zane?" I was called. I looked up. "Huh? Sorry, didn't hear you..." Kai frowned now. "You seem a little...spaced out." I grimaced briefly before readopting my indifferent demeanor. "Just a little tired, I guess." I fibbed again. He stopped frowning, but his new mood couldn't quite reach his eyes as he shrugged.
When we got home, I was still deep in thought. Nobody. How derogatory. It was the only thing that managed to shake me, the only thing he could use to insult a robot. What he said, initially, is that I wasn't on the same level with humanity. Sure, it was probably true but...where was I going with that sentence? With a sigh, I proceeded to the kitchen and took out my ingredients and utensils to cook dinner for my brothers.
