I still find Echo compelling if he's not Mr E but I don't find Mr E compelling if he's not Echo does that make sense

I’m thinking of writing a small fic about Ninjago but I’m unsure of if it actually has potential.
Tumblr media
The basic premise is that it swaps the positions/roles of multiple characters, specifically siblings and family members for instance
-Kai gets kidnapped and Nya has to go the path of the ninja to get him back
-the smith siblings have their elements swapped as well (but their personalities and emotional hurtles are the same)
-Wu is bit by the devourer as a child and gets corrupted by its evil venom
-the positions of the brothers are switched, Garmadon is the ninja’s sensei and Wu is the dark lord of the underworld
This was what I thought of at first but I slowly thought about even more changes I could make in order to make this story even more “switched up” than before.
-what if Zane isn’t really Zane? What if there is more to reveal about him than just the fact that he’s a robot?
- in this au The white ninja will discover that he is not only a hyper realistic android, but he is also the SECOND android son of dr Julien and that he is the “Echo” of his older brother Zane (Echo takes the place of Zane and Zane takes the place of Dr julien in the latter part of season 2)
-Jay doesn’t go by the name “walker” in this story because he’s instead referred to as “Jay Gordon” the son of famous movie star Cliff Gordon and the master of Lightning Libber Gordon who had unfortunately gone MIA after a freak accident that involved Milton Dyer’s failed “Prime empire” video game experiment 12 years prior.
-Jay is rich kid who acts out in his own particular way. He’s not too different from his mainline counterpart in terms of personality, he’s still just as intelligent, inventive and hilarious as the Jay we all know and love but he often lies or exaggerates himself in an attempt to impress those around him (especially a fiery young blacksmith girl who happens to be on the same ninja team as him;)
The only character that I don’t have a fully developed backstory for is Cole. I have a few things in mind but I want to make sure that each of the main characters from the pilot have a solid starting point for their story to unfold before I get into any actual writing.
Lemme know if you’re interested in reading this and I’ll write it, I really want to know that there’s at least one person who is willing to hear this story before I dedicate my time to actually producing it. After all, every writer needs an audience.

Ya'll listen. You can headcanon Mr E as being whoever you want. Cryptor, Mindroid, some random other droid, literally just himself, whatever. But none of those are ever going to have the same impact as Echo being Mr E. Mr E has a beef with Zane, always has. And sure, Cryptor or Mini or whatever would love to beat Zane's ass, but it wouldn't be nearly as personal. They've always seen themselves as better, more high-tech than him. They've always been his enemy, always hated him. But Echo? Echo was just a replacement Zane. Unlike the s3 Nindroids, Echo was seen as an inferior version of Zane, rather than a superior version. He was built by their father to fill a Zane-shaped hole in Julien's heart, and when he inevitably couldn't, he was cast away, banished to the basement for the sin of being himself and not his brother. He seems perfectly chipper when we meet the guy in s6, but it's perfectly reasonable to say that over time he could harden. Grow bitter, resentful of the brother in who's image he was built. Cryptor or Mindroid could harbor some hatred for the original droid, sure, but Mr E does not wear the Mask of Hatred, or even the Mask of Deception, for all his tricks and secrets. He wears the Mask of Vengeance. What better vengeance than becoming more high-tech, more advanced, more powerful than the so-called "Perfect" Zane? Than destroying the son his father loved so much more than him? The SOG offer something that he previously never had. They give him a purpose that separates him from his brother, they give him a sense of belonging, family, even, however twisted it may be. He failed as a son of Julien. So he became of Son of Garmadon. And how fitting of him to fail in that as well? To once again be too small to meet his "father's" expectations, to once again be cast aside, torn apart? And how much more would his fight with Zane mean? Zane screaming, begging to know who he is, shocked to discover that he is also a Nindroid. Even more shocked to realize that perhaps his father is not the man he believed him to be. "No one deserves to be held prisoner. Not even a monster." That's what Zane told his father. And Julien was a monster, for giving life to a young boy only to lock him away. An innocent child, held prisoner, rotting and rusting until he became a monster. Until he sought nothing more than vengeance on the people who left him there.

Ninjago Royalty AU
So this idea came to me when I was thinking about Garmadon’s whole technically being a Lord thing, so long awaited Royalty/generally old-fashioned AU idea and how each character plays into it! (Also for the sake of clarity I will be using Garmadon as the surname since Wu and Garmadon’s names are kinda confusing seeing that Wu is also technically a surname, so they will be Wu Garmadon and Haitao Garmadon)
Lloyd: Is the son of Lord and Lady Garmadon, he is most likely to be the successor to his uncle's throne due to the fact he has no children of his own and would be training to become a ruler instead of a ninja (in this AU Wu would have to be the older brother but we’re already changing a bunch of stuff so oh well) and along the way he makes friends with other nobility/castle goers.
Lord (or Prince depending on circumstances)Haitao Garmadon: The mysterious cursed brother of the king, he is disliked due to the fact most blame his brothers failed assisination attempt on him, with most making assumptions due to his cursed appearance. He tends to stay out of the public eye which only adds to the eerie mystique around his already confusing public image.
Wu Garmadon: The kindly old king of the Western Kingdom who has a lot of regrets, one of which being not admitting his feelings for Misako (Stole that right from the show), though he does not drag his nephew down into those personal matters.
Lady Misako Garmadon: The mother of Lloyd and the wife of Lord Garmadon, she is said to be far more outspoken than her husband with her own fair share of controversy due to disappearing from public eye for multiple years after her son was born before returning over ten years later. What she was doing is still unknown to the public.
Now onto the other ninja! (I am changing last names and stuff, be warned)
Prince Kai Shiroma: The fiery prince of the Eastern Kingdom, twin brother of crowned princess Nya he is head of the kingdoms military and quite proud of it, he has close ties to the southern kingdom and hopes to make connections with the Western kingdom through the possible up and coming ruler.
Crowned Princess Nya Shiroma: She is the head strong soon to be Empress of the Eastern kingdom, after her fathers disappearance she has been preparing to take his throne with her royal advisors taking care of things until she comes of age. She is sweet and quick witted with plenty of secrets she’d rather keep under wraps from the public who is already hesitant of her rule.
Zane Julien: The adoptive son of a world famous traveling doctor Zane is a walking miracle having been brought back practically from the brink of death by the kindly doctor who proceed to raise him as his own and train him in the ways of medicine, philosophy and what ever else sparked his fancy. Him and his father are often at important political gala’s due to his ability to smell poisons, quickly becoming close with some of the royals.
Lady Pixel Borg: Brilliant daughter of acclaimed inventor Barron Cyrus Borg, she is an inventor in her own right and often travels alongside Zane and Dr. Julien when the locations which pique her interest. She’s extremely intelligent and she and Zane are often seen as a rather terrifying duo when seen whispering at galas and other events. 
Duke Jay Walker: A very distant cousin of Lloyd but with his parents still tied to the royal family of the Southern kingdom, his parents are most known for their funding of wild architectural projects, large donations and tendency to disappear for months only to reemerge with some new creation or idea. He is attempting to court Princess Nya though no one can tell his true intentions with this.
Crowned Prince Cole Zielle: He is the level-headed prince of the Southern Kingdom, he is popular among the public due to his flashy talents and tendency for extravagance. His mother died when he was young leaving him with only his father whom is an adored figure due to his donations towards the arts and music. It’s said though that the prince disappears for days on end every once in a while for reasons unknown to most because everyone has secrets.
Link to the actual fanfic: All That We Can Give 
Fanart is to come.

UPDATE: The actual fic is called- All That We Can Give on Ao3 by SunflowerAndStrawberrySpice332

That’s all that I have for now, but I have started writing some semblance of scenes for the actual fic which I promise you will get! Idk if I changed to much but at the same time this is an AU and I can do what I want, for what is the point of art if we can mold it in way we best see it! Let me know if Y'all have any suggestions or ideas cause I'd love to hear it. Anyway now that I've info dumped I think I’m gonna go eat a muffin and then pass out!

Misako: The Most hated Character in Ninjago
Misako Garmadon! Wife of Garmadon and mother to green ninja Lloyd, but also the most hated character in the Ninjago roster!
Not only because she abandoned her son at Darkely Boarding School for Bad Boys in an effort to discover a way for her evil husband and choose one son not to have a fight to the death. Which seems sound, besides leaving your son at a Boarding School, instead of with his uncle who seems pretty capable of taking care of a child (I’ll get into that in a bit). Although I'll play devil’s advocate for a minute and say it was so Lloyd didn’t think his father was the massive piece shit that everyone could/would make him out to be.
Although in Misako’s debut episode: The Stone Army, Lloyd shows disdain for his mother, because she abandoned him, which is more than fair! Although it only takes him a small little history lesson, goes more in-depth about his own prophecy to forgive her and treat her like a mother for the rest of the series because it makes sense to leave your son at Boarding School instead of HIS OWN UNCLE!
Now we know from Season 5 of the series that Wu is more than capable of taking care of the kid(s) given his experience with Morro. Although let me play devil’s advocate, once again in Misako’s favor, and say that given the fact that Morro later ran away in his pursuit to become the boy in green and went missing/died made Misako apprehensive to Wu take care of a child.
*(I don’t think that would make much sense because she states in her debut episode that she KNEW that Lloyd would be the green ninja before even Wu. The only reason she does not leave Lloyd with him is: her wanting to put off the fulfillment of the prophecy.)
It seems very odd that Misako’s poor parenting is never addressed beyond at most a 5-minute conversation, and quickly dismissed like it didn’t happen is very lacking. I understand this show is for children and trying to explain why her actions of “protection” are bad would possibly be difficult, trying to pass her actions off as if they didn’t happen is another case of bad writing.
Besides her horrible actions as a mother, she had made some other choice actions as a person in general in regards to Wu especially. Misako is established to be Garmadon’s wife, although estranged, and obviously that they (with the confines of a children show) loved each other enough to have a child! Although in the episode The Day Ninjago Stood Still It is implied that Wu has feelings for Misako (and he has since they met) and that Misako may reciprocate as she even states “I should have chosen you,” to Wu they are alone. But once the Overlord is defeated in Season 2 and Garmadon is relinquished of his “evil part,” Misako and Garmadon rebuild their relationship for the two-season good daddy Garm is around. Although the rebuilding is promptly destroyed when it is revealed that Garmadon forged his name on a love letter Wu wrote Misako, making him a bit of a liar and a coward (how Misako was able to get the two sons of God to fall in love in with her in the first place, and I can’t get a simple match a Bumble anymore is fucking beyond me!). And dispute the fact at Garmadon sacrifices himself for the name of all that is holy in the episode The Corridor of Elders, instead of I don’t know morning you husband who loved you despite his fault and attempted to make up for it and showing that he truly cared for his son when he was evil and then even greater father when he was good, Misako is promptly up Wu’s ass the following seasons.
The only parents that we can compare Misako to are Ray and Maya, As Ed and Eda along with Dr. Julien are extremely good parents to their children. Lou’s major fault with Cole was projection and the want Cole to follow in his feet which is resolve in his debut episode The Royal Blacksmiths, letting the two of them have a good relationship, and little is know about Jay birth parent to conclude why they abandoned him, do it was being unwise to try to say that are the extremely horrible people if we don’t have context.
Although we can only really compare Ray and Maya in a broad sense. Technically Ray and Maya did abandon their kids, but they were also coerced and kidnapped into doing so by Krux to make his armor and weapons. Although, because of, I guess, a step in the right direction for the writing of this show. Ray and Maya's abandonment of their children is addressed in the new season of the series where Nya is upset about Maya trying to be motherly towards her. Nya is under the belief that Maya has no right to act this way given the fact that she was not there for Nya's childhood to be the mother that she wants to be now.
The writing fails Misako here, Lloyd is upset about seeing his mother for at most 5 fucking minutes and then treats her as if she is the best parent he ever fucking had. Adding the fact that it seems like She wants to be with at least one of the sons of God and can’t make up her damn mind.
I could understand if Lloyd wanted at least one good relationship with a parent, give the circumstances at the time, but this is never said or addressed, and I understand the meaning of hindsight and Misako telling Wu that she should have chosen him over Garmadon was her having hindsight after the fact. As well as think that if she chooses Wu the events of the series would not have happened, allowing her to raise a son instead of abandoning him. Although where that may fit in the context of that one line, don't think it justifies all of the implied love that both characters share, at that point, it isn't hindsight.
It really is that Misako’s whole is to cause conflict (a complaint made by @hiddensneker ) and to give exposition and despite this and whatever she has tried to do to make up for her actions this doesn’t change the fact that Misako Montgomery Garmadon is one of the most hated characters in Ninjago.

Echo struggles a lot with trusting people
He used to trust people blindly, since he assumed that everyone was like his father, who was nothing but kind to him. Then one time people visited, Julien told Echo to stay in the saferoom and promised that things would be okay and that he would be back.
That never happened.
He didn’t see anybody until Skybound, which he only has VERY vague memories about. All he remembers is meeting Nya and Jay, and he knows that they can come back for him. He hopes that they will, since he assumes his father is busy, after all, why wouldn’t he come back for his son? He’s done nothing wrong, he’s been nothing but good.
So he waits. He doesn’t know how long, but it’s enough to where he falls apart more and more often. Stuff is getting harder to replace, it’s harder to fix himself without pain, and there’s more rust than copper and some areas on his body are starting to turn green. But he waits, because he’s done nothing wrong and he knows they’ll come back for him.
Then the Sons of Garmadon find him and fix him, seeing his potential and teaching him the harsh truth. But also wording it in a way to get him angry at everyone else. They manipulate him into hating Zane. Echo starts to blindly trust them, because he’s been nothing but good to them and they’ve taught him so much. He fights for them, even if he doesn’t personally care for their goal. He’s happy to be around people and not alone. He usually clings to Ultraviolet, but can also settle for grunts. He decides to completely change his identity, not wanting to be associated with Zane or Dr. Julien in anyway. He starts building an obsession with wanting to be better than Zane. He knows he’s done nothing but be good to the people who abandoned him, so he assumes it’s because they didn’t see him as good enough.
But now with the SOG he can be. He becomes high ranking and one of the best, getting close to Harumi and Killow in the process. He’s usually the general they send on missions because of this, and he knows he’s good enough and he knows he’s better than Zane. He even proves that in the Desert Squall and watching him die.
Then he fails Garmadon, and gets crushed. It isn’t being abandoned and left to rot. But he remembers. He remembers them doing nothing but watch him suffer and fall apart, and Garmadon’s words. “A fine machine. But fine isn’t good enough.”
He realizes that he’ll never be good enough. Not good enough to come back for. Not good enough to save. Nothing but a disposable machine. It’s a different, more hurtful way of abandonment. It isn’t a slow realization, but instead a sudden knife to his back in his last moments.
He’ll never be good enough, even if he is better.
Echo manages to rebuild himself, after just barely surviving. He holds onto that thought, and lingers around Borg towers searching the dumpsters for scrap. More rust, more falling apart, more desperation, and once again: alone. He wanders for months, limping from place to place to find spare parts to try and rebuild himself. He’s exhausted, but there’s that lingering rage at everyone. He won’t be good enough, no matter what. He’s just going to be discarded and abandoned again and again.
He starts to internalize that, and it’s only a few months after a vague period of wandering around and trying to stay alive lazily that Nya, Jay, and Zane find him in Ed and Edna’s scrapyard.
And he isn’t happy. He’s better than Zane, and despite this got killed as his “family” watched. Nya and Jay never came back for him, because they already had Zane. And if Zane didn’t exist, maybe Echo could’ve been the one to have a family he could rely on. He also knows he can’t win, since he’s in the worst condition he’s ever been and doesnteven have a weapon. But he attacks anyways. He wants to make them hurt, even if it’s just a little. He’s so upset and tired of being abandoned and left behind like nothing.
And in the desperation of him just waiting for them to kill him after he’s lost, he finally justs. Screams about what they did to him. For the first time, he shouts and cries about what happened. In the lighthouse, he was oblivious and naive. In the early SOG training, he was in shock. And when it settled in, he was just angry because that’s what they taught him to be.
And then after some (a lot) of convincing, they manage to offer him to stay he agrees. He has nothing else. And he wants a family, even if he’s expecting the day they just decide they’re done with him and it’s back to being alone. So he waits for this day. He’s snappy and aggressive, distant and quiet as he waits. He doesn’t talk a lot, he doesn’t bond a lot. Why bother getting attatched if they’ll inevitably won’t care. So he continues to wait, but. Nothing ever happens. Wu offers to train him, they start slowly adjusting to him, they treat him like he’s there, and he’s
It’s a slow realization, but he realizes they won’t abandon him. So, he nervously starts to open up a bit more. Nya and Jay start recognizing that he kept many traits from when they first met him, and Zane and Pixal are beyond happy to finally see Echo comfortable and confident. He starts forgetting about being better, and about not being good enough. Because he knows he his and that they won’t abandon him.

One Does Not Simply Jump Overboard
aka the long awaited Of Milk and Cookies Chapter 14 
Lloyd was pretty sure that if there was an award for totally reckless bravery in near-death situations, Zane had just won it. He'd felt his heart drop when the nindroid dove overboard into the frothy ocean below, the dangers of losing a teammate (no, a brother) before they even made it to the Dark Island to confront his father suddenly very real. And this realization terrified him. His inner monolog of oh no, oh no, oh heck no had lasted way too long before he'd finally sighted the master of ice arriving safely back on the deck of the Bounty again. He was pretty sure Zane had no idea how not okay they would have been if he hadn't ultimately reappeared. Lloyd was barely holding himself together without this reminder that his adoptive family of awkward teenagers might not make it through this in one piece. It had been easy to channel his inner Kai while they were back in ninjago and act all cocky and confident, like nothing was wrong. But the farther from home they traveled, the less sure of himself, or their mission, he felt. The fact that he still wasn't used to his mother's somewhat smothering presence wasn't helping. She was obviously trying, but her efforts couldn't erase years of absence overnight (a fact he sometimes wondered if she realized). He wasn't oblivious to the dark looks Kai and Nya had been shooting Misako whenever they felt she was overstepping unstated boundaries, either. If only their reunion could have been like Zane and Doctor Julien's...
"So," Nya said, interrupting his thoughts as she finally managed to figure out where Lloyd had hidden himself away after dinner, "Today was kinda a lot, huh?"
He grinned wearily at her as she joined him in the little tent he'd scrapped together where the sloped roof of the Bounty flattened into a platform like surface.
"Yeah. Just, just a little." the blonde agreed. He looked out over the darkening expanse of ocean, not quite sure what else to say. They sat there in silence, enjoying the temporary peace.
"I, uh, just wanted to check on you. Make sure you weren't too furious with Zane for almost getting himself killed out there today." she explained, eventually, before wrapping herself in a spare blanket. Nya's ability to sense when he needed someone to talk to never failed to amaze him.
"Oh." Lloyd replied softly, "I – yeah… that was… How does he do it?"
"Do what?" Nya asked.
"Just jump right into helping people, without worrying about his own wellbeing?" he clarified.
"He's Zane, built to protect those who can't protect themselves. It's just who he is. I'm not even sure he realized jumping into the ocean to save that leviathan was dangerous at the time…" She told him as if it were the simplest thing in the world. Lloyd looked over at her, quietly asking, "Nya? What would we have done if – if he didn't…?" He cringed a little, not liking the way his voice cracked. She leaned against him, grounding him before he could allow himself to dwell on the what if's for too long.
"I dunno. I really don't. But he's still here. We all are. It's gonna be okay."
"Yeah, but for how long?" he couldn't help but mutter. Nya shifted sideways, regarding him for a moment before saying anything.
"You're worried about what happens when we reach the Dark Island." she observed knowingly. The Green Ninja opened his mouth, shut it, and sighed.
"I-I… it's just… everything is happening so quickly now… we'll be there by mid-day tomorrow and… I'm… not sure I'm ready for this… facing my dad? It scares me… I'm not brave like you, or Kai, or Zane… I'm just…. A scared kid in a teen's body." he stated in a small voice, turning wrapped an arm around his shoulders and squeezed them.
"You know, sometimes I wonder how you can be so amazing at seeing the good in others, but totally miss it in yourself. You're one of the bravest people I know, Lloyd."
"R-really?" Lloyd snorted wetly in disbelief.
"Would I lie to you?" she retorted, booping his nose with affection and pulling some tissues out of her pocket. Yeah, she could definitely tell he'd been on the verge of crying.
"Well... If you thought it'd make me happy..." he offered up lamely. The raven-haired girl shook her head in disbelief.
"I guess you've got me all figured out, green bean." she relented, marveling at how grown up her baby brother was becoming. Even if he didn't recognize it yet.
"But I'm serious. You really are an incredibly brave person. Who came to save us when everyone got captured by Pythor?"
"I mean, I kinda got caught too, but, me." Lloyd stated.
"Who talked an entire school of future villains into embracing their inner light?" Nya continued.
"Also me. Just not sure I'd call that brave." he protested, making a face, not sure if he appreciated this trip down memory lane.
"And who used the Tomorrow's Tea to defeat the Grundle, knowing full well that it would have irreversible consequences for them?" she finished. Lloyd frowned. He'd rather not dwell on that decision. It had really done a number on him since.
"That's different..."
"Is it, Lloyd? Because I don't think you would've done any of those things if you weren't at least a little brave."
"Okay. So maybe I am brave..." the blonde caved, deciding to let Nya win this one, "But that doesn't change how terrified I am, Nya. What if I can't do it? Mom says he'd never hurt me, and I don't wanna hurt him, either..." he said, referring to his father, "But when it comes down to it, one of us is gonna have to hurt the other... I-I... we're supposed to fight..."
Nya listened to his ramblings with patience, waiting for him to trail off before she offered her own thoughts.
"Remember what I told you when we first found out you were the Green Ninja?"
"That... you couldn't wait to see Kai's face when he realized I technically won the deal?" Lloyd recalled, looking a bit less troubled at the memory.
"I wasn't wrong. His reaction was priceless!" she laughed softly, "But what I meant was... Kai and I – we promised you wouldn't be alone when the time came. We're gonna do everything in our power to keep that promise. So, you don't have to fake being okay just because you don't wanna worry us."
"Pft... I definitely haven't been doing that." he deadpanned, knowing that to deny it would be a lost cause. His sister rolled her eyes at this.
"You're allowed to be scared and unsure. Just remember, you have an awful lot of people who'd do anything for you, no questions asked. Even if some of them are total idiots in how they go about showing it." she reminded him. He put his head on her shoulder, comforted by her words. His family might not be experts when it came to acting responsibly, but he loved them just the same.
"Definitely total idiots." Lloyd agreed, laughing a little himself. Nya gave a contented sigh and let him snuggle against her. This conversation seemed to be just what he'd needed. She only wished it wasn't necessary, that she could give him some assurance about how the prophesied battle would turn out okay because he was Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon, the kid with a heart of gold and an incredible sort of light radiating off of him. But she wasn't psychic. She didn't want to make false promises or whitewash the danger they were in. So instead, she settled for, "Speaking of idiots, I can think of one who needs to be told a thing or two about jumping overboard with no warning and giving us all a heart attack."
"Wanna go yell at Zane?" the Green Ninja asked with a snort.
"Do I ever!" Nya said, grinning wickedly. Together, they left the safety and seclusion of the rooftop tent in favor of locating the nindroid. As it turned out, they didn't have to look for very long. The sound of laughter drew them to the kitchen; Zane had turned his humor switch on once again, much to the bemusement of his father. Obviously he'd ended up in good company.
"Oh, Zane..." the samurai sang sweetly as she and Lloyd entered the room.
"Yes, Nya?" he answered, reverting back to his usual self. Nya took a big breath before laying into him.
"Do you have any idea how DANGEROUS it was to jump overboard like that?! You could've gotten yourself killed! Are you trying to traumatize Lloyd?!"
"Yep, I'm definitely traumatized now," Lloyd joined in, showing no mercy. Dr. Julien followed the tirade with amusement. His poor son seemed to be at a loss for words.
"But I... We... Sorry?" Zane protested weakly. He rushed over to Lloyd. He seemed... Fine? There were no visible signs of emotional scarring?
"Promise me you'll never do something like that again?" Lloyd begged, giving him his best puppy dog eyes.
"You know I am unable to completely guarantee anything, as it is my duty to protect you and others, but... I shall do my best." he told them. Having weaseled out this assurance, Nya decided that it was time for them to stop pestering Zane over his questionable life choices.
"We're glad you're okay." she stated, smiling at the nindroid to make sure he knew they weren't too terribly upset with him. "So am I." he replied. Lloyd hugged him tightly, catching him a little off guard, but he didn't mind. Tomorrow they would reach the dark island. The future was unpredictable, but for tonight, everyone was safe and sound.

SOME random ninjago hc that is in the RTO au
i wrote a lot of hc that fit the RTO au, not necessarily associated with Future and so here we are 
it’s long so here’s a summary of the HCs, you’ll find them under the cut 
Timetwins childhoods 
 + Kronos HCs (as requested by @moonprincess101)
cyrus HC
Pixal HC
couple other than future in RTO 
EMs and elemental power in general 
Zane & the ICE EM reincarnation 
Morro & Ronin sibbling 
Nadakhan & Dilara 
AGE CHART 
Bonus : Pokemon AU (+ doodles !!)
WARNING : LOOOOONG 
Timetwins childhoods ( + Kronos HCs)  
“Acronix" and "krux" isn’t their birth names, Acronix came up with them when they were younger, as super heroes names after discovering their powers. Krux loved the idea and they kept referring each other as these names. Krux forgot what is original name was, but Acronix still remembers them. i’m guessing that they might use them again after getting back into society
They grew us in a country side village with their mother for a big part of their life, didn't socialized much til their mother passed.  Krux was always overprotective and nix, not having anything else to compare, thought krux directing him was normal. when joining the EMs when the serpentins wars happened, Nix easily became friend with some of the EMs, unlike krux . tho they really did not got along with wu and garmadon 
their elemental power was passed down to them by a Unknown Man whom they never met, as he left before their birth, Kronos :
- kronos was the previous user of the time element, he used it for good, preventing some disaster, saving people’s life, Wu knew him well. 
- tho he was young when he married and didn't know how what would happen to his power after having kids. he took his power for granted and overused them even for simple task. to him , having powers was normal and sounded arrogant when speaking with other EMs or people in general 
.- during his wife pregnancy, he noticed his powers started fading and freaked out, he went to wu, asking for help and learn the truth about what would happen to his powers after his sons where born. he was never seen again afterward. 
when wu met krux and acronix, he knew they were related to kronos , but when asking them about their father , the twins would not reply and looks uncomfortable 
- his personality shifted rapidly afterward, without powers he went mad, more aggressive, salty, self centered 
Cyrus HC
- Cyrus grew up taking inspiration from DR. julien work to build his own tech, he never really expected to become so popular later in his life and sometime feels overwhelmed by it .
- Cyrus is a billionaire, and donate to charity all the time , ninjago doesn't seems to have any problems beside villains attacking time to time, you can expect rich people of the world to be actually helping RIGHT ?
- Cyrus isnt paralyzed, i imagine him more having weak legs motor control that dont support his body weight enough to let him stand, if he did, he would feel dizzy very fast, (this is heavly based on this HC )
it has some hint in the show, but you dont wanna mess with cyrus, he can be agressive toward people that bother him or his loved ones, he will not hesitate to fight the best way he can ! 
Pixal HC
- pixal was a project he worked on for YEARS, but she was only fully finished at the beginning of S3
- pixal was built to be gender neutral, until she told her father that she wanted to be seen as feminine , and he loves and support her
- pixal is very polite and usually call people by title, unless she knows them personally, she would never call cyrus by anything else than “father”
- when she first got in contact with people other than her father, she found them fascinating, and specially zane, knowing that he was a nindroïd like her.
- she used to have a crush on zane that for a while, felt mutual, until she got dismantled .. she was glad zane found a way to keep her around but as time passed, the lack of physical body, zane becoming colder with her afterward , and him getting closer to cole after the event of S4. made her loose interest, they were living as one but she missed being herself 
- ronin was the one who dismantled her, after he captured zane, pixal tried to defend her friend but got destroyed, ronin used part of her body to repair his own . his left arm being partially made from pixal Original body
- she took inspiration from nya’s samurai X mech to build herself a new body 
- in the process she developed feelings for nya. like zane earlier in her life, she felt like it was mutual but she isn’t sure the relation is working out, nya and her are spliting and getting back together every month or so
-she is an hopeless lover and tend to crush on anybody that express kindness to her 
Couple other than future in RTO
RTO mainly focus on future, but also : samurai, Glacier, Scruff  and A BIT of jaya , in general, the ninjas (minus lloyd) are pretty much all in open relationships with one another and it’s mostly just polyninja but main focus on samurai and glacier  
EMs and elemental power in general
- EM lives longer that other people , roughly 120~ years instead of 80 , and that even if they lost their powers
- being an EM can be either genetic or Given .. Powers can be passed down only two ways : a Em can have a kid and during pregnancy, the element will start fading until the baby is born, element will take time to developed in someone’s body , it roughly take 10-15 years for someone to discover their power. however this process inst guaranteed, and some EM’s kid can be born without powers, this is usually the case when only one of the parent is a EM, in case a EM have more kids than powers (eg. twins) the power will either splits up, or one of he kid will be born without powers 
- the second option is strong bound, if a EM is dying (or dead) without kids or non of their kids inherited their powers , they can choose a Vessel .. it can be human, creature or any sentient being. 
- taking someone’s power away by force CANNOT happen, it’s BULLSHIT.. wu and garmadon simply blocked krux and acronix powers, they are still considered EM and if they wish to, can pass down their powers to someone else , who WILL be able to control it (tho since the power Split up, nix can only pass down slow and forward power) after that, the time blade will lose their powers.
Zane & the ICE EM reincarnation
for his HC i’m going to call the previous ICE EM “simon”  i cant remembrer who named the Ice EM simon, if you know it please lemme know !  i love it tbh
-julien and simon knew each other very well, they were Close friends 
- simon knew that julien loved making machine and heard about a new project "zane" a robot that could protect people that could protect themselves, julien loved zane like his son . later in his life after the serpentine wars , simon feeling old, wanted to pass down his elemental power to someone before passing away, and thought julien was perfect, after all they knew each other, but he changed his mind and decided to pass it to zane instead. He touched zane heart and after that, he slowly lost his powers till he passed . neither zane nor julien knew about it, but by freezing his heart, it gave him a part of his soul ( 9 STYLE) ,  a unusual but strong power source to zane, the elemental power of ice and changed his behavior a bit 
Morro & Ronin sibbling HC
Morro and Ronin are brothers , morro is the oldest and inherited the wind power, unlike ronin. 
ronin loved to provoque people and overall was a little brat. one day with morro, he annoyed a citizen of Stiix, that will later be known as “soularcher” that decided to curse him and his brother 
Morro was terrified and fleed, he eventually decided to join wu’s monastery , who adopted him. morro was sure that becoming the green ninja of the prophecy would make him a hero and lift the curse on his soul. he was even more devastated to learn that wu was wrong
on his own ways ronin tried his best to fix his mistake growing up , without much success. falling into robbery, con artist, failed marriage and alcoholism 
when morro came back as a ghost, he felt guilty and wanted to fix his mistake but he finally had people like nya and dareth (whom he met at a bar and chatted with him when he was sad) that cared about him and decide to fight for good for once 
Ronin had a wife and a daughter a WHILE ago, but lost them . his daughter was roughly the same age as nya and she remind him of her 
Nadakhan & Dilara
Dilara and nya are related
Dilara and captain sotto knew each other (family related ;;; OR she was cheating on nadakhan idk but either way she cared about him too )  and she help sotto capture nadakhan and his crew but made a mistake and got killed in the process
Dilara was just there to use nadakhan for his powers but nadakhan wanted her for his infinite wishes so I GUESS THEYre a good pair ???

Evil Zane Chapter 6
The team returns to the Birchwood Forest as a last resort to save Zane...if they come up empty handed then Zane will have to be destroyed.
Prologue and Chapters 1-5: here
Chapter 6
 The heels of the green ninja sank ever so softly in the snow as the small party approached a birchwood tree that was about twenty times as thick as the others. The bright sun above them reflected off of the snow and the environment was blinding white and still, as if it was anticipating something to happen.
Jay, who was the only one in the party to have been at the tree home before, was looking around the clearing with fear struck in his eyes. “Jay, calm down- what are you afraid of?” Nya asked.
“Tree Horns,” Jay grumbled, and Lloyd could tell that he had bad memories of those creatures. “I don’t see any of them hiding, but that can change. We need to take cover.”
Lloyd glanced back up into the sky where the Bounty sat levitating. With the danger of giant woodland creatures, the forest was not a safe place for a giant flying ship. Cole, Kai and Misako were keeping watch from afar. Lloyd turned to assist his uncle.
“How interesting,” Wu mumbled to his nephew. “I fought in a great battle here, with your father by my side.”
“My father?” Lloyd asked. He always loves hearing Wu tell stories about the great Garmadon.
“Here was a disastrous battle fought during the First Serpentine War.” Sensei began as Nya and Jay slowed their speed to listen in. “We thought we had defeated the Anacondrai army but that was when Chen turned the elemental masters onto each other. After that-“ Sensei was interrupted with a loud clang.
Jay tripped on something and face planted into the snow with a soft crunch. Nya, Lloyd, and Sensei all burst into laughter as Jay spat out snow. “Very funny, guys,” He groaned before checking to see what he tripped on. Brushing away the snow, the team was surprised to see something gold and shiny hidden beneath the snow.
They all bent down and wiped the snow off of the giant object, revealing a huge robot with two shoulder blasters. Jay smiled, recalling his memory. “I remember this guy! Zane must have fought him when he ran ahead.” The blue ninja, with snow still on his face, turned to Lloyd. “This robot’s job is to scare away the Tree Horns. Well, it was, until Zane destroyed his control panel.” Jay pointed at the small rusted box on the back of the robot.
The gold metal was rusted and dull from sitting in the snow for years. Lloyd touched the metal gingerly, and he could feel the chill and lack of life in the steel. Finally, his eyes drifted to a symbol carefully carved on the back of the robot’s head. “That’s the same symbol that is on Zane’s chest door, right?” Lloyd asked, pointing at the marks. The team glanced down at the head, and Nya and Jay nodded.
Lloyd looked again at the robot, but this time he was suddenly blinded with a vision.
Instead of looking at the Tree Horn fighting robot, Lloyd found himself looking at Zane.
Lloyd flinched and gasped, falling backwards into the snow. “Lloyd are you okay?” Nya asked. The team looked at him with confused and worried looks.
Lloyd, panting, looked back at the robot, but Zane had disappeared. The image of Zane was burned into his mind: the dullness of his titanium steel, the rust forming in the cracks, the dents and deformities covering his body, his control panel on his back shattered and destroyed beyond repair, and his eyes that held no light.
Lloyd shook his head, pushing the image of destroyed Zane out of his head. “Nothing, I just thought I saw something move.” Nya helped the green ninja to his feet, and he brushed the snow off of his casts. “We should repair him if possible so he can continue to protect the home.”
Jay nodded in agreement. “I can see what I can do to him in the tree home.” He looked over to Nya and together they lifted the giant robot out of the snow.
A surprised look crossed Nya’s face. “For a giant robot, he’s fairly light,” she noted. Jay laughed. “He’s designed that way so he doesn’t sink into the snow.”
“Smart,” she said. Sensei chuckled as he opened the door to the tree home.
“Whoa…” Lloyd and Nya gasped together as they stared down the winding staircase to a circular bottom.
“Would you look at this place!” Nya exclaimed, her eyes lit up in excitement. Jay chuckled. “That’s what I said when I saw it.” He confessed. Sensei looked down and nodded, as if recalling a past memory. The team began to descend.
With a loud thud, Jay and Nya placed the large robot on the ground as Lloyd reached the bottom stair. The air in the tree was crisp but dusty and it was quite evident that the place had not been touched since the last time the ninja paid a visit. A bed that was perfectly made hid underneath the staircase, with a side table that held a filmy rag and a dust-covered picture frame. Lloyd walked over and lifted the picture up, sliding the dust off with his fingers.
In the frame was Zane with his falcon perched on his arm as he stood with a middle-aged Dr. Julien. Blinking, Lloyd suddenly realized just how old Zane was. “Zane’s been around for….a really long time…hasn’t he?” Lloyd asked, turning to the team. Jay was leaning over the giant robot while Sensei Wu and Nya looked around.
Wu nodded. “It would appear that Zane has existed for much longer than you all, possibly a good number of decades.”
“Decades?” Nya exclaimed as she picked up a wooden frog toy that was covered in dust. “Could he be older than you, Sensei?”
Wu laughed but didn’t respond. Lloyd looked back down at the picture, but his eyes drifted to the name on his casts again. The conversation he had with the young boy reappeared in his mind. Lloyd remembered what he had told Nelson- “Being a ninja isn’t easy because we deal with sacrifices and loss as well as battles and victory. You don’t have to be a ninja to do good things, you just need to do what’s right and to help others.” Looking at the photo, a sudden burst of determination surged through his body. He silently promised Dr. Julien that he would save his son and then sat the picture back down on the bedside table.
“Hey guys, check this out.” Nya called out as she rummaged through some blueprints at the main desk. “There’s blueprints for the giant robot we found…apparently it’s named the Guardian.”
Jay scooted in next to her and lifted another blueprint. “And this is one of the blueprints for Zane!” he exclaimed. Nya carefully inspected it, then gasped. “This is it! This is the software page.”
Lloyd looked over her shoulder. “Wow- there’s a ton of information on this sheet.” Nya nodded, but kept looking. Lloyd looked down at the table where another blue sheet caught his eye. Reaching around the girl, he took the paper and looked it over. “Woah,” he finally said.
“What is it?” Nya asked, looking back.
“This sheet is for the software of the Guardian,” Lloyd started, pointing at the lifeless robot. “But…” he continued, turning the page around. “It’s basically empty.”
Both Jay and Nya stopped and started to think. “That’s weird. That must mean that Zane’s software is more complicated than the Guardians’.” Jay concluded, and Nya’s eyes widened.
“There’s something more to Zane’s software that isn’t on this sheet. There’s a reason why Zane is much more complicated…therefore making him more-“
“More human!” Jay stepped in, and Nya nodded. “You’re so smart,” Jay gawked, and Nya giggled. “C’mon, we need to find more information on Zane.”
The three ninja began to dig through drawers and paper after paper, and Sensei Wu, who had no idea what just transpired between the three, just sat back and watched.
 _________________________________________________________
The cold winter wind played with Cole’s mess of black hair as he leaned over the banister and gazed at the forest below. The team had dug up a golden robot and disappeared into the tree about 15 minutes ago. Bored, Cole began to pick at the wooden banister; his mind was too unfocused and lost to think about his current situation.
“You okay?” Kai appeared next to Cole suddenly, causing Cole to flinch so violently he almost broke the banister.
“Kai!” Cole gasped for air. “You came out of nowhere like a-“
“A ninja?” Kai raised his eyebrow. “Haven’t heard that one before.”
The boys shared a laugh as they stared out across the Birchwood Forest. Kai cleared his throat. “I hope that they find an answer down there.” He spoke.
“Yeah,” Cole agreed.
“Cuz if they don’t, we are going to have to destroy Zane.” Kai continued.
“Yeah,” Cole agreed with a growl in his throat.
“And you would have to be the one to do it with your magic super strong fists,” Kai went on.
“Yeah,” Cole finally said after hesitation and a disgusted glance at the red ninja.
Kai nodded, completely oblivious of Cole’s disgust. “I can’t even imagine what you would be going through- knowing that if all else fails Zane would have to be destroyed by your own hands-“
“Okay, I get it!” Cole snapped. “I don’t need other people to tell me what I know.”
Kai fell silent. Cole, feeling guilty, took a deep breath. “Look, you are right. It’s a heavy burden knowing that I have the job of murdering Zane. I’ll never be able to look at myself the same way again, but at the same time if we just let him go then a lot of innocent people could get hurt. It’s not something to look forward to but it’s something that must be done.”
Kai nodded. “I know it’s hard, but you can’t look at it as murdering Zane. Zane has already been destroyed and the overlord has taken his place and stolen his face. You aren’t going to kill a friend, just have revenge on the enemy that killed Zane. Twice.”
Cole nodded, agreeing. “I just wish there was a simpler way, instead of turning him into scraps.”
Cocking his head, Kai went into thought. “Didn’t Jay mention something when he was sobbing his eyes out yesterday?”
Cole shook his head. “I don’t know. I wasn’t in the bridge at that point.”
Kai rolled his eyes. “Good for you. It was a nightmare. I seriously can’t believe Nya dates that guy.”
“Kai, focus.”
“Oh, right.” Kai cleared his throat. “He mentioned something like…’if I had listened to him none of this would have happened.’”
Cole stood up straight. “Wait…do what?” Cole spoke in an excited tone.
Kai rotated his hands while he was thinking. “What was the word Jay used? Deaccelerate…retaliate…wait, no! Deactivate!”
Cole gasped, suddenly remembering that moment in the bedroom when he woke up to Zane begging Jay to turn him off. “Kai, that’s it!” Cole shouted. “We can deactivate him! Zane was going to take off his suit so I’m pretty sure it’s somewhere on his chest or back. All we need to do is to work together to keep him still and we can turn him off without destroying him!”
Kai’s face lit up. “We don’t have to destroy Zane in order to stop him? That’s great news!”
Cole opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the third team member left on board. “We have an unidentified incoming,” Misako called from the bridge. The two boys shared a worried look and then dashed up the stairs to the bridge.
“What do you mean, an incoming?” Cole immediately said as he walked through the doors.
“Is it Tree Horns?” Kai asked, looking at the bridge map.                                     
“No,” Misako replied to Kai pointing at the screen. “Tree Horns move in herds, and this object is moving by itself. But in the sky.”
“In the sky?” Cole repeated, looking at the map. “What could it be?”
“If I may,” PIXAL stepped in, appearing on the map screen. “The unidentified object isn’t…alive.”
Kai frowned. “What is that supposed to mean?”
“It’s a piece of technology,” PIXAL continued. “And quite a large piece too.”
Cole and Kai looked at each other. “You don’t think…?” Kai gasped.
Cole narrowed his eyes. “Zane. He found us.” He turned and dashed out of the room, followed by Kai and Misako.
They peered over the deck railing and searched for the flying tech. “There!” Kai pointed to the left. The team followed his arm and were startled to see-
“A dragon?” Cole exclaimed, more fascinated then shocked.
“It’s a robot dragon!” Misako gasped.
“A Techno Dragon!” Kai grinned, naming it. Cole shook his head. “Zane built himself a dragon, but why?”
“And how?” Kai added. “Zane’s never been that talented with engineering even though he is a robot himself.”
Eyeing the new threat, Cole narrowed his eyes. “That’s a problem for another hour. Now, we deal with Zane and his new pet.”
Within fifteen seconds, Cole and Kai devised a plan of attack. Misako took control of the ship and began to turn around as Kai flipped onto the railing and off of the ship.
The elemental dragon of fire roared to life and Kai took off towards the Techno Dragon.
A synthetic roar bellowed from the dragon ahead of him. Kai pulled his mask over his head and gripped the reins tighter. “I’ve got this,” Kai said, but there was a nervous quake in his voice. Kai wasn’t about to enter a fist fight, he was about to enter a dragon fight. Clenching his teeth, Kai yelled a battle cry and his dragon roared as they flew into the first impact.
Kai struck first. Breathing a huge wave of blue fire, the fire dragon aimed for the metal wings and then swooped upwards. Kai, proud of his tactic, glanced down to see the damage but was shocked to see that there was none. The jet black metallic wings seemed unhurt from the fire.
The fire dragon corkscrewed in the air then closed its wings and catapulted towards the metallic dragon. Kai willed his element to take over, and the dragon caught fire, transforming into a fireball missile. Kai narrowed his eyes and prepared for impact.
But to his surprise, the metallic dragon blinked, then vanished.
“What?” Kai exclaimed out loud and then stopped in his path downward. As the fire died down, Kai looked around nervously, but the dragon had vanished.
“That’s unfair!” Kai shouted. “You’re cheat-“
The elemental dragon screamed as a large object slammed into it and grabbed on. Kai, having a connection to the dragon, yelled in pain as well. Slowly, the Techno Dragon became visible again, and Kai felt the blood drain from his face.
The Techno Dragon was about three times the size off his elemental dragon, which he didn’t realize when he was flying at top speeds next to it. The metal was forged from a rare black metal and it had red detailing across its head and body. The eyes were blood red and purple, and the claws were shiny black and speared. The rider laughed, and Kai suddenly saw Zane in a new light.
On top of his titanium body sat a giant chest plate of black metal that matched his dragon. A blue techno screen crossed his eyes and a small headset piece extended from his right ear. A huge uncharacteristic grin was spread across his face and his red eyes glowed with despicable happiness. “Gotcha, Kai.” Zane snarled as his dragon clenched tighter, causing both the dragon and Kai to scream in pain again.
Kai panted hard, trying to ignore the pain. “Not..this…time….Zane!” Kai gasped each word like it was his last.
“And why is that Kai?” Zane asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Because…I….have….something…you…don’t!” Kai spat, his vision starting to brighten in pain.
Zane frowned. “What’s that?”
“Allies!” Cole answered as he landed on the dragon behind Zane.
Shocked, Zane spun around. “How-“ Zane started, but was too slow to react. Cole grabbed the robot and chucked him off the dragon.
The dragon released the fire dragon and dropped to catch Zane, but the Bounty (which had snuck up behind the Techno Dragon) shot a missile towards the falling dragon. It hit the wing and the dragon roared as it was damaged. Everything catapulted to the snow below.
Cole was lucky enough to form his dragon as it all fell, but Kai was too much in exhausted pain to recover his dragon. He hit the snow with a thud.
Zane landed a few feet away, shaken but not hurt. The techno dragon landed last in a giant poof of smoke, fire, and snow. The nindroid stood and shook his head before looking over to see the smoking dragon. Zane tightened his fist in anger and through his new mask he activated the self-repair of the dragon on the wing. Steaming with rage, he turned to see Kai trying to stand in the snow a few feet away. Zane activated his ray gun and approached the fallen ninja.
Kai looked up, holding his side in pain. Seeing the threat, he tried to scramble to his feet, but couldn’t. Zane stepped on his chest and aimed for the shot, lining it up perfectly with Kai’s head. Defeated, Kai braced for the end.
In a sudden flash of black and orange, Zane vanished from Kai’s chest. Kai almost screamed in relief, and then fell back in the snow and passed out.
Cole and Zane tumbled in the snow for a few yards from the sudden collision. When they stopped tumbling, Cole tensed his legs and kicked Zane a few feet away before standing.
Zane stood as well and the two ex- friends glared at each other.
“How dare you come back,” Cole growled, his fists glowing.
Zane smiled. “How else am I supposed to enact my revenge if I can’t see you all again? Speaking of which, Cole- you look terrible. You should get some good sleep. Like forever.”
Cole narrowed his eyes. “Sorry Zane, but you can’t doctor me anymore. You lost that privilege when you turned evil.”
The nindroid laughed. “Looks like we have to settle this right now!” he demanded, shifting his body into a fighting stance.
Cole lifted his fists, ready to attack. “Let’s get this over with,” Cole murmured as he swallowed down the fear and dread that was forming in his throat.
The two ninja lunged at each other, each knowing that only one of them was going to leave alive.
