I had finally arrived in Ninjago City after a month's long journey. The city was still recovering from the whole Golden Master incident from last week and rebuilding all thedamaged buildings and streets. The city was making good headway and was looking as busyand bustling as normal. I make my way to my new apartment and decide to take a more scenic route by going through Ninjago City Park. I admire the beautiful trees in bloom as I walk through the park. I've always felt at peace in nature and after a long trip I needed this. As I reach the center of the park I see a giant silver statue, stone pillars form a semi-circle on the back as the statue itself looks up to the sky. I approached the beautiful display and read the plaque:
                          
Zane, 
                          
Master of Ice, Savior of Ninjago, Dear Friend. 
                          
I give a somber smile to the metal guardian and put my hand on the statue as a sign of respect. I start to make my way from the statue and back through the park when something catches my eye. A light is shining from a patch of trees near the edge of the park, near Borg Tower. "What is that?" I say softly to myself. I guess there's only one way to find out I think as I shrug nonchalantly. I make my way over and find a glowing light blue crystal, shaped like half of a ring. I pick it up and it feels cold to the touch yet also alive as I can feel it pulsating in my hand. I use my elemental powers of crystal to connect with it and hear its story. Images and feelings flash through my head. A blonde man, a snow forest, a bearded old man, ninja, a little blond boy with Green eyes, a giant snake, warriors made of stone, an old man in a lab coat, a crystal sword, a golden dragon, black robot ninjas, and... a girl with white skin, green eyes and silver hair. The images continued to show me this girl, she must be special. Finally I saw the girl at Borg Tower. The vision ends and I breathe heavily and look at the strange crystal in my hand. I guess the crystal wants to head to this girl. Off on another adventure I guess. I think as I roll my eyes.

I finally reach Borg Tower and into the lobby of the big black building. Now what? I think. The crystal seems to answer my question and it starts to glow. I continue to walk forward and the glowing grows darker. I stop in my tracks, How weird. I turn more to the right and it glows brighter. I guess I follow this thing like a compass, I thought. I follow my annoying crystal talisman as it leads me to an elevator and glows near a button. Top floor I guess. As the elevator reaches its destination I continue following the glowing crystal in my hands. I stop in front of a large door and as I reach to touch it it opens. I look around and see a desk that has a plaque that reads "Cyrus Borg" on it. They really need better security. I just walked into the CEO's office and no one stopped me. I think. I put the crystal in my pocket as I continue to walk and look around the room.
                          
As I continue my exploring I hear the doors open behind me causing me to turn around. It's her, the girl the crystal showed me. She was busy looking at a datapad in her hands and hadn't noticed me yet. I cleared my throat drawing her attention to me. "Oh... who are you? What are you doing here?" she asked me accusingly while backing away a bit. I hold my hands in front of me, hoping she will seem like I won't cause trouble. "I'm sorry to intrude I don't mean any harm but does this mean anything to you?" I say as slowly as I pull out the crystal from my pocket and present it to her. She walks over to me and gasps as she sees the crystal. "How did you find this?" she asks obviously still shocked and picking up the crystal gently from my hand. "I found it in the park near Borg Tower and when I listened to it, it kept showing me memories, mostly of you and this tower." I say gesturing around the room as she inspects the crystal. She looks at me with a look of confusion, "You listened to the crystal...and it showed you?" "Apologies," I say before holding out my hand, "(Y/n)(L/n) Element Master of Crystal." She smiles and reluctant shakes my hand "P.I.X.A.L."

It had been a month since then and I was helping P.I.X.A.L. rebuild her friend Zane. Apparently, the crystal I found was the final piece to achieving that. She explained how the crystal I found was the heart of a nindroid named Zane, the same Zane who saved the city. When she asked if I would help I gladly accepted. Me, P.I.X, and Zane who apparently was in the Borg Tower system worked for weeks together building Zane a new body. It's been fun getting to know P.I.X.A.L. and Zane and learning more about them and I totally ship it. It's been a while since I had a friend and I finally feel like I belong. I hope it never changes
