The Only Reason For Time is So That Everything Doesn't Happen At Once

Sea-bound Echo

A few hours and a successful mission later, they had returned to the Destiny's Bounty.

"Zane, Nya, can I speak to you both privately?" Lloyd asked as they were putting their weapons away.

"Sure..." Nya said as Zane nodded.

The three left the weapons room for the games room, which was one of the few rooms excluding their bedrooms that wasn't linked to another room and was decently sound-proofed.

"Nya, you know how there was a whole timeline that got erased?" Lloyd asked.

"How do you know about that? Jay and I haven't told anyone about it," Nya asked.

"Future you told me - what I'm trying to say is, do you remember when you and Jay went to Doctor Julien's Lighthouse? Who you found there?"

"Echo - we found Echo-Zane there," Nya said.

"Echo-Zane?" Zane echoed. "Who is that?"

"Echo's your brother and we're going to go get him, come on," Lloyd told them before they left the games room.

Within a few minutes, they were astride their dragons on their way to Julien's Lighthouse.

A fast fifteen-minute trip later and they're standing outside the door to Julien's Lighthouse.

"Don't bother knocking," Nya told Zane who was about to knock, "When Jay and I were here, Echo didn't hear us, so we should just go in," she added.

Zane took her advice to mind and just opened the door and stepped inside, followed by Nya, then Lloyd.

Upon seeing no one when they stepped inside, they made their way up the spiral staircase

At the top of the stairs, they came out into a small, one-windowed room.

A little muddle of metal on wheels came speeding at them.

"Hey Gizmo," Nya greeted. "Can you go get Echo for us?" Although she knew where the copper android was at current, she decided it was better to ask anyways.

Gizmo beeped and rolled off.

"Who was that?" Zane asked.

"Gizmo, I think Echo made him," Nya explained as the little muddle of metal returned.

It beeped something at them before the sound of clanking metal was heard.

Then a copper-colored android stepped out from behind the row of shelves.

"Hello?" Echo greeted, although it sounded more like a question.

"Hello brother," Zane greeted, stepping forward.

"Brother?" Echo questioned. "My brother is dead," he added.

That was surprising.

"I assure you, I am very much alive now," Zane told him.

Echo didn't answer him, instead he asked, "Who are you?" to Lloyd and Nya.

Before either of them could say anything, Echo spoke again. "I remember you," to Nya.

"You do?" she asked, surprised.

"Yes, you came with the blue boy long ago,"

"We did and I'm sorry we left you waiting for so long," Nya apologized.

"It was only a week?"

"Still, a week on top of how long you've already been waiting is long enough," Nya reasoned.

"That...makes sense. It does not explain why you here,"

"We came to get you as like Nya said, you have been here long enough," Zane told him.

"Okay? Could Gizmo leave too?" Echo had agreed to leaving very quickly.

"Yes," The little muddle of metal beeped a high-pitched beep.
