This has been nagging at me, it's kind of bittersweet and sure to generate some feels.

Summary: Wu is finally out of the time vortex, but much further in time than anyone could ever have predicted, and finds out the bittersweet truth, after trillions of years Nindroids do age

Disclaimer: i do not own ninjago

Warning: Old Zane

The Time stream finally ran out and dumped Wu and the time twins out onto a barren wasteland

"WHAT!?" all that work only to end up in a world not even worth conquering?" shouted Akronix. After a brief sword fight, Krux and Acronix went off, hoping to find something they could rule. Wu sighed, hoping that some semblance of the place he had called home was still there. Off in the distance he could make out the outline of a ship and someone tending a small garden. Wu took off at a run, someone was still living at the bounty. When Wu arrived he called out

"Excuse me, I don't mean to intrude but I'm from the past, could you please tell me what year this is?"

"It's been a long time sensei" said the figure who Wu could now see was leaning on a cane

"Zane?" asked Wu, trying not to get his hopes up that one of his students was still alive

"Yes, and for your information it is the year 5,200,900,567,432" said Zane. Wu was at a loss for words.

"It's been a long and rough number of years, there was the 5 thousand year war, the plague of 26,000,000,, then the nuclear war of 2,000,000,000,000 of which I was the only survivor on the planet, I slowly of the course of the years had saved food, seeds, and raised a farm underground in order to sustain life above ground once the radiation dissipated" sighed Zane. They went inside the bounty. Looking at the walls and seeing old pictures and various medals of bravery and honor. There were obituaries pertaining to his other students and their families. He was at least grateful that all of them died of old age in their sleep, well except for Kai who had gone crazy in his mid 90s and had set a forest fire in the middle of nowhere claiming that it was now the first circle of hell. Wu's gaze returned soon after to his now very aged student who was busying himself with making some tea.

" I felt the only variety of tea worth saving was your favorite white tea, I knew you'd be back at some point" said Zane a glint of humor in his now tired eyes that had once been so full of life, but trillions of years of hardship had chipped away at his naive demeanor.

"Thank you my student" said Wu, accepting the cup from his student. Wu noticed that Zane's hands were rusted and the metal coating had worn thin. This was true about the rest of the nindroids body. Wu felt a pang of sadness in his heart, yes nindroids were practically immortal by normal human perspectives, but nothing should have to endure trillions of years of hardship, completely alone, time catches up with everything.

That night Wu made a vow, Zane had protected Ninjago for longer than anyone should have to, now Wu would take care of Zane, for the rest of time.
