This is my first fanfiction...ever. No flames please, and review!

Zane leaned over the balcony and watched the sunrise. It had been a while since the ninja's last adventure, and they had settled down for the time being. Nya and Jay has started going out, even though Nya said that they would never be together. Life is mysterious in that way. Zane sighed and and walked back in through the door. He sat down onto the couch and heard the doorbell ring.

"I'll get it." Kai mumbled. He walked to the door and opened it. He stared at the man who was standing there. He has a mechanical arm, eye and leg, and wore a grey bowler hat. Everything about him looked sinister.

"Umm...hi?" Kai asked. The strange man barged into the room, and his eyes darted around the room. He seemed to be looking for something. He sat down at the kitchen table and spat into Lloyd's bowl of cereal. Lloyd recoiled in disgust.

"Excuse me?" Lloyd yelled, "But who are you and what are you here for?" The man grunted in response. He looked up to Lloyd.

"They call me the Mechanic," he snarled," And I've got a bone to pick with you."

Lloyd gulped and shrank back into his chair as the Mechanic told him all about his past with Master Chen, and how the ninja had put him out of business. Jay walked into the room and immediately attempted to walk out. Kai grabbed the back of his robes to stop him from escaping.

Zane wanted to know what was happening in the kitchen, so he stood up and hesitantly walked in. When the Mechanic saw Zane, he grinned to show a gold tooth in his mouth. The remaining ninja stared as the Mechanic took a knife out of his pocket and started to clean his fingernails with it.

"I want to make a deal," he said, "I'll leave you ninja in peace and I'll give you $10,000 so you can renovate your... little tea shack over here." Kai gritted his teeth and balled his hands into fists. Jay raised his eyebrows.

"Really?" Jay exclaimed. " Thanks! That would help the tea farm a lo..." Kai clamped his hand over Jay's mouth and Jay mumbled the rest.

"What's the catch?" Kai asked warily. The Mechanic pointed his knife at the frightened Zane.

"This nindroid is made from pure titanium." he grunted. " That much titanium would be worth a fortune."

Realising what the Mechanic wanted, Lloyd protectively jumped in front of Zane, along with the Kai and Jay. Zane didn't move. He simply stayed frozen to the spot, too terrified to move.

" Zane's part of our team" Kai said," He's not going anywhere." Upon hearing this the Mechanic snarled, stood up and walked towards the door. As he passed Zane he said something that sent shivers down Zane's back.

"Just wait until I get my hands on you."

So that's it. What do you think? Once again, this is my first fanfiction, so don't be too hard on me! Chapter 2 coming soon!
