Afterward

100 Years Later

The names Kino and I'm a fusion. Yeah strange word fusion. Means you take one thing and another and squish them together like gross looking putty. Except me...I make this fusion stuff look good. One half Kira one half Omino. Kira was the Master of Melding and Omino was the master of earth. All of which...were siblings. Both nindroids in fact. Grandkids of Danny and Dareth Darzuski.

Cool thing about nindroids we live a lot longer then humans. Cool right? Sort of. You see...Dannys been living this whole time and well...she stopped. Me being the new Zareth of this outfit I decided to take it upon myself to go find out why Danny just stopped existing. So its off to the frozen wastes. Technically where Danny left her base of operations. When last she saw it was when Aunt Inky went through and let her out after she died about fifty years ago. Ah well should be two more bodies left in the tubes to inhabit.

Trudging through the hip deep snow I began to go toward the cave. Damn it's cold. They apply named this place. Geez…

The cave was as Zareth remembered it. Cold as hell and dark as night. Lighting a torch I wanted inside looking through what looked like laser burns on the walls. My heart clamped down this was gnarly looking. I knew them, I've seen them many many times throughout my years.

Okay let me be specific here. I am Kino, but I'm also Zareth. You see I'm his incarnation...the newest one. I'm a bit cooler of course, but I'm still him.

I chuckle to myself thinking about it. Zareth can now call Danny grandma. Oh how I miss that striking yellow hair...and bright green eyes.

Yet what welcomed me was a war zone. Parts of the main servor had been blown up, the tanks were shattered. Much to my heart break any and all nindroids were broken into pieces. All of them...even Spencer. This wasn't what I hoped to see. But this meant that Danny was gone and I was alone.

'Not really Kino. You still got us.' Kiras soft voice said.

"Oh yeah a voice in my head and a bunch of incarnation rejects." I didn't mean to lash out, I missed her was all. Running my fingers through my black and purple hair I walked around seeing what could be found. Much to my satisfaction the staircase and door were still latched shut with the heavy snow above. The radioactive door was still cl...I stepped back and looked again. On the other side of the room sat the door. The radioactive room was wide open. I was fully nindroid now and not a half human so I couldn't have been harmed if I had walked inside. But then again…

Slowly walking forward I seen inside the room. Well that wasn't radioactive at all...there stood a bunch of broken up pieces of another set of tubes. But there was another at the other end of the room. A large crack over its window. My heart latched onto this one tank. This was all I had left. Along the bottom was a few letters. 'When you have no more faith, have a little Hope.' When I walked closer it became apparent that this one being wasn't Danny at all. Nor was it Spencer. It was something completely brand new. A brand new model. It floated around in the pink liquid inside. Much to my horror completely naked. I'd need a blanket. Running back over to the cabinets I ran back with a large blanket. I gasped dropping the blanket. She was staring right at me, she was awake. I stepped over to push the release button only for her to pull away covering her face as if afraid of me.

"Hope, is her name." It was a video on the side of the wall. It was Danny on the screen. Things were exploding all around her. "I was creating her for you Zareth. I didn't have anymore androids anymore and I wanted someone new to take on my elemental power. So I created her...please don't be alone Zareth, you never were good at that. I put as much of me into her as I could, and twice as much of you. A daughter for you." Danny ran her hands over her eyes and she gasped hearing something heavy hit the door and throw it to the side.

"Love her Zareth...she's all yours." Danny disappeared and the feed disappeared.

Running my fingers along my face I turned to look at the girl in the glass. Reaching out and pushed the button.

"Hope...have a little...hope." I whispered holding up the blanket as she stepped out. She looked up at me as she sat there at the bottom of the tank. So scared and very much alive. Slowly I reached up running my fingers along her face. She had to be just as tall as Danny, but twice as skinny. Just how long was she in that tank? Wait...do nindroids like her lost or gained weight? Oh boy…

"Hey...uh...I'm Kino. Zareths new incarnation." Hopefully she understood that.

"I know...I am reading your algorithms quite satisfactorily." She said and jumped when I threw the blanket onto her. Why was she so afraid of me? Was she awake...during the attack?

"Its okay babe. I ain't gonna hurt you." I told her. She looked down at the blanket and then up at me again. She reached up. I just laughed and took her hands placing them on my face. Much like my Great Uncle Zane my skin was titanium. My eyes were bright blue.

Now that she was out of the tank I could see that she had blue hair and bright blue eyes. Her wings were still kind of slushy but they were a gold color, and the windows looked clear as glass. I held out my hand. She gathered up the blanket in one hand and held mine. This was going to be one hell of a ride back to Ninjago City.

Authors Notes: So heres my next AU. The Kino AU: If you would like me to write it in the comments please just a simple yes or a no would be great. Don't think its a bad thing if you comment no. It just means that I won't do it and thats all. Zareth will pop up from time to time as a personality along with his other past lives as well as Kira and Ominos father who is Danny's son. Otto.
