Hi! I am taking part in @SageNinjaMorro's fluffcember challenge! I might miss some days or release chapters late because I have my own personal (and hectic) life! Cover not mine made by @Nya_ninjago_fangirl.
And, sorry if they have too many ship flu...
A/n: Today's prompt is, 'inspired by a picture'. Well, here's my picture:
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
Brothers.
They both were brothers.
How could this have happened?
He had no idea.
It had taken a few moments, but after Zane had realised what the 'E' meant, he couldn't fight him.
Literally or figuratively, he did not know.
Literally or figuratively, he did not care.
Memories had come barrelling into his mind, clouding and choking him with emotion.
His own brother, had been against him?
He wanted to scream to him, to tell him the truth. To make up with him.
And as E landed that final blow, the chance was lost.
He had been struck down by his own brother.
When he came back from the first realm, he had hoped his brother was still alive.
After the Ninja defeated Garmadon, he had hoped to help his brother get back to the path of good.
When they landed, he saw his love. She may have cured his sadness, but only temporarily.
He knew that the odds were against him, that his brother was probably dead, but he had to try. After all, they had broken many odds, what was one more?
When he asked Lloyd, his heart shattered.
His brother was dead.
And the only thing he had in Echo's memory, was a helmet. The helmet he had worn when he had defeated Zane.
But as he looked up in the sky, he knew.
He knew that his brother would be happier in the departed realm, watching over Zane.
And as they were going, he looked up at the sky, he murmured, "Goodbye, brother. I will miss you dearly."
The future waited for him. And he would make the most of that future before he would get to join his brother.
A/n: Okay, do technically I was inspired by this image and from the fact that the producers wanted to make Echo Zane as Mr.E in SOG. And as we all saw, he was killed off in HUNTED. So, I decided to make an angsty fic on it. I hope you all enjoyed it, and see ya!
