Chapter 9

She's guessing his saddened mood comes from him being a robot. Maybe. Is he sad he isn't human.

That unlocks a new memory, one where he questioned if he even had a soul. Is it similar to this?

"I... do not see you any different, if that helps." She whispers, but she knows he hears. "The vessel you are in does not make you less alive."

Those were the exact words she told him in the past. And when he finally looks up at her, his sadness is lighter, but not completely gone.

She didn't like this overwhelming feeling, she hated it, she didn't like seeing him sad, she didn't like caring about him. She didn't like the thought of having to hurt him if ordered by her Lord.

Letting go of the blueprint, she awkwardly makes her way out of the bunker, only to find the ninja being tossed around by the treehorns.

(Y/n) gave a deadpanned look.

"Much more useless than the Skulkin." She sighed out. They must have gotten frightened and attacked the treehorns.

She walked in the middle of the fight, the Treehorns ignoring her presence as they kicked around the ninja.

Treehorns functioned sort of like ants, but are more affectionate than the insects. Maybe if she were to cover the ninja, they would stop attacking. There was the off chance it would backfire and end with her bones broken. Her thoughts get interrupted by shurikens

"Leave my friends alone, Ninja go!"

Zane begins to attack the treehorns, knocking most of them onto the floor. The rest of the group watched in awe as Zane continued to fight off the treehorns.

(Y/n) still did nothing, holding out an arm as she noticed the falcon fly by to land. She let it prance its way to her shoulder, nesting comfortably in her cloak.

She watched as the treehorns began to back up. As their queen entered to finish the fight. As Zane began to glow, freezing the queen in place as the rest retreated.

That's the first time she's seen Zane use his powers. Now, really thinking about it, has she ever seen any of the ninja use their elements?

"This must be what Sensei meant about unlocking our hearts, I remember now, I remember everything."

Though a fear ran through (Y/n), it was quick to dissipate. Zane wasn't looking at her with any familiarity

"I remember my father and how he cared for me, I remember where I came from, I feel stronger for knowing."

The ninja all circled him, admiring his newfound powers. (Y/n) awkwardly stood to the side, letting the falcon rub it's beak to the side of her face.

Zane finally looked over to her, giving a smile. "Thank you, for your encouraging words." He bowed to her, the three ninja giving him a strange look along with (Y/n).

"N-No need for that, it's degrading, get up." She scolds, placing a hand under his chin to lift him back into a stand. Before she could back away, Zane clasped his hands into hers.

"I understand we are on opposing forces, but still you had enough heart to help me, if there is any way I could repay this gratitude to you, all you need is ask." He finishes, his hand still holding hers.

He was still the same, she only said a few words and he gladly kept it by his heart. She couldn't understand it, and she couldn't stop that smile from forming on her face. "You nursed me to health, I think that's enough."

The red ninja butted in, pushing the two away from each other. "Alright, Zane unlocked his true potential, there was no Fangblade, I think we should be heading back to the bounty."

(Y/n) followed behind them, a few feet away as to not anger the fire elemental more.

Kai let out an annoyed sigh, returning his attention to Zane. "I'm not blaming you are anything, you don't know these things, but Nya is still kinda dating her, and you were getting a bit touchy." He explains, gagging at the dating term.

"Apologies, I did not mean any romantic intent."

The red ninja patted his back. "Yeah, I know buddy."

A few minutes of silence before Zane had suddenly remembered something.

"Ah right, the reason for the falcon bringing us on this journey."

His teammates looked at him with mild curiosity before almost fainting at the sight of his chest opening, showing all the gears and switches.
