This version of Ash was never adopted by Wu nor is she Morro's half sibling. She lives by herself and was kidnapped by the twins after getting caught in the crossfire.

Acronix was in his room playing on his phone while watching their prisoner. He looked over at her and saw the girl in a fetal position, clearly in pain. "What's wrong with you?" Acronix's tone was nasty.

"I'm on my period and the cramps keep getting worse. I'm in so much pain, but why would you care?" The girl was crying. This made Acronix soften his gaze. He typed 'how to ease period cramps' into his phone and a bunch of results came up. Acronix walked to the medicine cabinet and tried to find something to ease the pain but to no avail but then remembered the water bottle trick. He heated up some water and poured it into one. Acronix walked over to the girl, unchained her, and gently placed her on his bed then came back with the bottle.

"Here. This'll help with the cramps." Acronix placed it on her stomach. "I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier. I didn't mean to, honest." The girl smiled.

"It's ok. And thank you." She replied.

"You're welcome. So, what's your name? You never told me. I'm Acronix." She laughed.

"My name is Ashlynn. But you can call me 'Ash'." She replied with a yawn.

"That's a lovely name. Why don't you get some sleep and we'll talk tomorrow?" Ash nodded. Acronix covered her up in which Ash promptly fell asleep. He watched her overnight.

Ash was being watched by two Vermilion until Acronix got back. Her cramps were still bad and the ones watching Ash were just making her more and more irritated. Acronix eventually came back with a store bag, noticed Ash's look, and yelled.

"BLUNK, RAGGMUNK! I'M BACK, SO OUT!" The two Vermilion complied and left. Acronix turned to Ash and sat down.

"So what's in the bag?" She asked.

"Stuff for you. I got pads, Midol, a heating pad, and some dark chocolate. I did my research and read that girls on their cycle crave chocolate. I'm sorry we can't let you leave, but you're free to roam the house. Promise?"

"I promise." Without thinking, Ash pulled the twin into a hug which he accepted. Over time, the two began to develop feelings for each other.

Once Ash was rescued by the ninja and told that the twins were lost in time, she went home for the first time in over a week and cried. Ash secretly hoped that Acronix would return someday.

Ash was walking down an aisle when she bumped into someone. He turned around and the two instantly recognized each other. Ash threw herself into Acronix's arms and cried. "I can't believe you're back. I missed you." Ash said quietly.

"I missed you too Small Fry." Ash lightly slapped Acronix which made him laugh.

"Where were you? When did you come back?"

"Krux and I have been back since June 2019. I never contacted you because I thought you would never want to see me again." Acronix hung his head low. Ash got him to look at her.

"I cried every night for the first four months you were gone, but eventually got my life in order. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I love you Acronix." Ash said.

"I love you too. And you can call me 'Nix' for short." He then looked in Ash's cart. "Pads, eggs, toothpaste, Midol." Ash got him to stop.

"Boy, you sure are nosey. But I still have the heating pad you bought me." As they talked, a man approached them.

"Nix, where were you?" Krux then looked at Ash. "Well hello. How's life treating you?"

"Life is fine. But it's even better now that Nix is back." Ash smiled and Krux put two and two together.

"You never told me that you had a crush on our prisoner at the time Nix."

"To me, she was more like a roommate. I didn't want you to be mad at me, so I hid my feelings for Ash from you. But I didn't want to betray you either. And her name is Ash and I love her. If you don't like it, then you can leave me alone. I'll go no contact with you if it means I can be with her." Nix said.

"Nix, you don't have to do that. I'm happy that you found someone. And I'm sorry that we had to keep you Ash. If we were to let you go, you might have warned the Ninja." Krux told her.

"Even if you did let your guard down, I was in too much pain to move at the time. I get really bad cramps when I'm on my period. Nix helped me."

"So that's why you bought a heating pad. I'm proud of you for helping Ash out." Krux turned to Ash. And I hope the one Vermilion we sent to watch you didn't do anything to hurt you."

"It tried to follow me into the bathroom and I had to tell it multiple times to get out. That's just about it." Krux nodded. "And let me tell you, this is the best birthday gift ever." The three celebrated Ash's birthday.

Ash and Nix married and had a son later on.

Call it Stockholm syndrome if you want, but the feelings they had for each other were genuine. It was basically love at first sight.

Ash couldn't escape through the bathroom because it didn't have any windows.
