/No PoV/
"You mean that girl from the shop?" Cole asked the white clad ninja.
"Exactly. I believe I just saw her in a dream. As a ninja."
"A girl ninja?" Kai asked, confused.
Zane nods, looking at them. They all get the idea from his eyes alone, and start to get ready for the day. Get their gi's on, brush their teeth and hair, the usual. Zane makes everyone breakfast, without a word. To much was on his mind to chat right now.
'Who is she, why did I see her as a ninja, and why is she affecting me like this?' Zane asked himself in his mind.
While everyone was eating, Zane just picked at his food, still conflicting in his mind. Sensei Wu finds this strange, and raises the question.
"Are you alright, Zane?" He asked solemnly.
The ninja started giving their sensei cues not to ask. Cole made a 'cut throat' sign, Jay faked a cough, and Kai looked around whistling. Sensei raised an eyebrow, as Zane sighed. Wu then nodded, finally understanding.
"Forget I brought it up, Zane." Sensei said, taking a drink of tea.
Zane got up from the table, placing his dish on the counter, and walked onto the deck. He went to his normal meditation place, and got into position. He closed his eyes, breathing slowly. The sound of footsteps told him two more ninja where on deck. He sensed Kai and Jay, meaning it was Cole's turn for dishes. The deck whirred to life, the normal training equipment moving and clanging.
Then, Zane's vision went from black, to a familiar white color.
/flashback/
Zane found himself in a snowy forest, one that was strangely familiar.
"Aaaaaaagh!" a shrill scream emanated from his right.
He turned and saw Zoey running towards him, the trees behind her moving. Treehorns, like the ones he fought.
Zoey crashed into him, crying in fear. He subconsciously led her into his, or their, home in the tree. He began trying to calm her once they where inside, and his father entered the room. Zoey did her best to smile, but it was obviously fake. Zane's vision then started ebbing away to black...
/reality/
Zane's eyes shot open, his hands going to the sides of his heads. Kai and Jay looked over at him, worried. Jay rushed over, Kai following.
"She...but, she can't be..." Zane was muttering to himself.
"Hey, Zane, you in there?" Jay asked, waving a hand in front of Zane's face.
"Leave him. Let's just go back to that store and settle his mind." Cole said as he walked on deck.
The other ninja nodded, stepping away from the ice ninja. Cole walked into the main bay and kindly took the wheel from Nya. He turned the airship a bit and flew in the direction of the small town. Zane simply sat back against the bow of the ship, thinking and muttering to himself. Kai and Jay went back to training, for the time being.
Soon, they landed in the same place as before. Jay nudged Zane out of thought, and Zane was first off the ship. He ran to the store, quite literally, and met himself in. The other ninja followed quickly, trying to keep up with their cybernetic friend.
"Sung, are you here?" Zane called when he got inside.
The middle ages woman stepped out from a back room, smiling at Zane.
"And how are you, Zane? It's good to see you again, even if it has only been about a day." Sung said, cheery as usual.
"Actually, I came to see my si-Zoey. Is she here?" Zane asked, catching his tongue.
"Oh, of coarse. Zoey, could you come here?" Sung called.
The girl in pink walked out, pulling some stray hair from her face. She froze when she saw Zane, and Sung smiled slightly before walking into a different room in the store.
"Its you..." Zoey said, voice a near whisper.
"Yes. Listen, I believe we are linked by our past. Please just listen to me. Okay?" Zane said, eyeing Zoey.
"Okay, I guess." Was all the pink clad girl replied.
She brought Zane to her bland bedroom, for the privacy and sake of whatever was about to happen. Zane sat her down on her bed, and asked her to lift her shirt a bit. She, awkwardly, complied. Zane then looked over her again, and spotted what her was looking for. He clicked the small silver button on the side of her stomach, and the panel opened.
"Aya!" Zoey yelled, confused.
Zane then did the only thing he thought would fix his dilemma. He flipped her memory switch up.
Zoey was flooded with memories, from her activation to her fathers death. She started tearing up, looking up at the bleach-blond male before her.
"Z-Zane...I, we..." Zoey stuttered, before throwing herself onto Zane. She started laughing and crying at the same time, as Zane hugged back. The two took a moment of silence, simply processing what had just happened.
"The fifth destined ninja, the final elemental, the one Sensei foresaw. It's you, Zoey..."Zane said after the pause.
Zoey looked at him again, the same confusion in her eyes as when her father deactivated her.
"Me, a ninja? Really?" Zoey asked, wondering if she could.
"I believe so. Sensei should find out for sure, when we head back. Please, come with me." Zane begged, not wanting more seperation.
"One moment." Was all Zoey said before following where Sung had gone. Zane overheard some conversation, and Zoey came back smiling.
She began packing a small bag, and put it on.
"Forward bound, right Zane?" She asked.
"Of coarse."
