This will definitely be OOC because I can't write Zane. He's a complicated character, at least in my opinion. Well, please enjoy! And spoilers for season 8 and season 9.
Also....Don't hate me for this...I looked around the white and smokey void, but couldn't catch a glimpse of my friends. Walking around, all I saw was nothing but white. Suddenly, there was a loud crack and I fell through the 'floor'. I was in the bounty in the back, though I had a weird sense of Deja' Vu. I heard a few noises and I hid behind a large crate.
What came through the door was shocking, for it was me! I was dragging someone perhaps too harshly and threw them to the ground. I felt the pit of my stomach drop, and my throat tense up. I knew what was going on, and wished it didn't.
"WHY'D YOU DO IT?"
I jumped at the sudden scream, but yet knew it so well.
~~~
Zane was seething with anger, looking down at his younger 'brother'. Mr. E's identity was revealed, it was Echo Zane. Echo who hurt all those people, one who was responsible for the 'almost' destruction of the ninja's beloved city. He even tried to hurt Pixal, that got his oil boiling once again, with new found anger he kicked the one underneath him causing the squirming robot's arm to fall off. Echo whimpered at the stinging sensation, but it was nothing compared to what he felt on the inside.
"I-I had no choice!" Echo whimpered, only to be dragged up and slammed on the table.
"LIAR! YOU BETRAYED US! YOU BETRAYED FATHER!"
"The q-quiet one m-made me do it, she f-forced me s-she-"
"She forced you to kill those innocent civilians? She forced you to race against me in the Sons of Garmadon? SHE FORCED YOU TO DEACTIVATE ME AND SET A TRAP FOR MY FRIENDS!?"
Echo Zane was in so much pain, he didn't know robots could feel this way. He mustered up what strength he had left and kicked Zane back, knocking him into one of the crates behind him. Present Zane, braced for the impact of the fall but nothing happened. The crate fell right through him. He was about to stand up when Echo started speaking.
"Y-you don't understand," He said wiping some oil from his mouth. "I tried to be strong, to fight them off but the things she said? She made me believe them, she made me think that Father only built me as a replacement. Do you know how that feels? To have been replaced by someone who he loved dearly, only for him not to have the same love for you? I was left abandoned in that tower for years. I was told to stay put, and Father never returned. HE LEFT ME ALONE TO RUST AND ROT!"
"Father died to save Ninjago," Zane spat, eyes becoming a low red. "He died because he loved you, AND me. There were no favorites, he protected you. And all you can do is say that he abandoned you?"
Zane was shaking with anger, his circuits and wires clanging against his metal form. He raised his fist to finish what he started, opening his eyes. He gasped, and his fist stopped in mid-air. Zane stared wide-eyed at the sight before him. Echo Zane, he was crying.
Really crying, those tears leaked out of his eyes, and swam down his face. Zane didn't know robots could cry. In all of his saddest moments he felt an overwhelming sadness, but he never cried. Now, laying under him was a robot, not only shaking but was sobbing uncontrollably, tears pouring down his face non-stop. Zane leapt back, horror written all over his face and he ran out of the room.
~~~
I lay limp against the wall, knees up to my chest. As the scene ended, I allowed myself to peek from behind the fallen crate. Echo was still crying, though he began to put himself back together. I have no excuse for what I had done to him, only that I let my anger get the best of me. My chest panged with hurt, as I heard Echo say one last thing.
"I'm so sorry..."
Suddenly the scenery changed, and I was back in the white abyss of nothingness. I felt an overwhelming sadness, and my eyes got watery. Lifting up a hand to my cheek, I found it damp. I was crying.
