Hey, hi, hello. Remember me? Yes, the one who totally ditched their stories. Those weren't very good anyway. I am sorry. I got MAJOR writer's block. I still don't know what to write for those stories. I might ditch them. It's most likely I will. Anyway, I am back with a new story and it is about Echo Zane meeting the ninja, because I am quite upset with how the last episode ended. (I was really happy about Jay and Nya, though,) so I decided to write about something I am sure won't happen in the next season, but I want it to. If you like this first chapter, I will post more. Enjoy!

Fanfic: Befriending Echo

Jay and Nya were the only ones on the team who remembered him. They all went to where Dr. Julien used to be held prisoner.

"You guys stay on the Bounty. I don't want him to be overwhelmed," Nya ordered.

"Who?" Zane asked.

Nya smiled. "You'll see."

Jay and Nya walked up the startling amount of stairs and went in.

"Echo!" Jay called out.

Echo didn't answer. Jay was about to call the name again.

Nya stopped him. "Wait. He doesn't remember us. You wished that the teapot was never found. That means that us meeting Echo technically didn't happen."

"Oh, Nya, you're right. You are so smart," Jay gushed.

"Of course I'm right!"

"And modest too."

"Is anyone here?" Nya asked.

Silence.

"Let's go where we saw him last time," Nya suggested. They went over to the hidden basement.

They saw Echo's glowing yellow eyes and one of his arms was poking out from behind a giant board.

"Don't be afraid, come out," Nya coaxed.

Echo Zane finally come out, albeit slowly. He smiled shyly and tilted his head with curiosity at the two beings standing in front of him. "I am Zane, built to protect those who cannot protect themselves," he said in his robotic voice. He looked just like Zane, except his inner machinery was exposed, he was copper as opposed to the original Zane being titanium, and he was dull. He was also rusty and the facial features were a bit different. "Are you my friends?"

Jay and Nya chuckled at the question. Echo Zane was child-like in comparison to his titanium nindroid counterpart. "Yes, do you want to meet more?" Jay asked.

"More friends?" Echo Zane asked. Jay nodded. "Are they nice?"

"Yes, they are very nice. You will like them," Nya answered. "And they will like you."

With that, they all walked down the stairs to the Bounty.
