I'm not sure if the things that happen are kinda during SoG or maybe after it and Hunted somehow?

The Ninja burst into the room, weapons drawn.

"Ah. I see you got my message."

As one, the Ninja turned to the left side of the room, where they saw Mr. E. He was leaning back in a chair, and had his feet up on a coffee table.

It was odd. There was no other furniture in the room, so E must’ve brought the chair and table there for a reason. And, through all the times the Ninja had fought E, he always seemed a bit tense, but now he seemed almost relaxed. Something was going on.

“What do you mean your message?” Cole asked.

They couldn’t see his face, but his glowing red eyes seemed disinterested. “Who do you think called you? And told you Mr. E was in this specific building, on this specific floor, in this specific room? Do you really think I would allow some random person to know specific details about me?”

“That’s the most I’ve ever heard him speak,” Jay whispered. 

“That’s because this is a...special occasion,” E said.

“One, it’s not polite to eavesdrop. Two, what special occasion? Finally getting your butt kicked?”

Mr. E chuckled, and it was not a pleasant sound. “Jay Walker. Always making jokes. Let’s see if you can make a joke out of this.” And with that, Mr. E removed his helmet.

The Ninja weren’t sure what they expected E to look like, but it wasn’t that. His resemblance to Zane was almost exact, though his metal, eye, and synthetic hair color were different from the Ice Ninja’s.

Zane stepped forward. “Who...who are you? Why do you look so much like me?”

“I would tell you to ask Father, but he’s dead and gone--not that he would’ve told you anyway. However, there are two others that knew about me, but left me--abandoned me. And after I helped them with a major problem, and called them my friends. Guess I know how they really feel.” E looked directly at Jay and Nya.

Zane noticed E’s gaze at his friends, and something started to stir within him, but he ignored it. He couldn’t--no, wouldn’t--believe that they had anything to do with this. “What are you talking about? There’s no way they have anything to do with this--they would have told me about you, whoever you are. As for Father--”

“Father didn’t care about me or Gizmo, he only cared about you. He left me behind the first chance he got, and clearly never mentioned me. As for those two, I thought they cared about me, thought they wouldn’t abandon me like he did, but I was wrong.”

“It’s not like that!” Jay said. “We were gonna come for you, but--”

Zane turned toward Jay. “What...what do you mean? You...actually know him?”

“Well…”

Mr. E chuckled again and stood from his chair. “Seems like you have a lot to discuss.” He walked toward the glass-less window. “I’ll leave you to it.”
