Jay-

"What do you mean they are your students?!?" I practically yelled in disbelief. Sensei looked at all of us and said "Please come inside and I'll be able to explain everything." "Now you know how I felt when I first met you," Kai whispered to me.

Sensei Wu-

As all my students sat down I looked at all of them. Soon Lloyd and Nya stood in the doorway and I started telling the story of my first four students. "Before I found you Cole, or any of you..." I gestured with my hand towards my fire, ice, lightning, and earth ninja, "...I had different students. I was searching for the elemental powers of fire, ice, lightning, and earth, but by fate I was lead to Hatchi." I turned to look at him, he was exquisitely listening even though he had lived this story. "Hatchi, was searching for something in life to live for, he had given his heart to many who had broken it. So on his quest we spent a night together talking, I was able to see that Hatchi was someone very special. Not only that but he carried an elemental force deep within him not one that I was looking for, but it was so strong I could not ignore it. Hatchi became my very first pupil. As time went on I remembered the stories that my father told me about the back-up golden weapons... The Bo-Staff of mists, the syes of sunlight, the whip of vines, and the daggers of winds. These weapons were forged as a fail safe if the original golden weapons fell into the hands of darkness. So I continued my search of the secondary elemental holders. Next I found little Avery who was being raised by her uncle in a taylor shop. She may have been poor but that meant she always appreciated the little things in life. She joined because of her compelling spirt of compassion for others. Next I found Devon striving to find peace in this world I found him metatateing on a mountain top I had sat next to him drinking my tea for quite awhile before he noticed me. Devon redly accepted my invitation to join and since then he has found balance. Lastly Kade. Kade was born into a rich family who's lifestyle did not match her own. Her fiery and free-spirited nature clashed with her parents posh life. So she joined us as our ninja of sunlight." "But sensei if they were your first students, how come they were not hear when we started training?" Zane asked cautiously. "Because the back-up golden weapons and there wielders were supposed to stay hidden until due time." I said looking at my first students.

"I do not know why they are here at all." I said with a sigh. Then Kade stood up. "Sensei," she said with her voice hard and eyes narrowed, "you left us and now when we come to you, you don't even care!?!" Being their teacher for so long I knew that her anger was sometimes a defense mechanism, right now she seemed upset, she felt abandoned... "Kade, I explained the prophecy to you as well as I could. I knew that master Crevan would further your training until the proper time came." Kade's eyebrows curved down and her lips parted into a frown. Hacthi quickly stood and looked me sternly in the eyes, "Master Crevan is no longer with us." Hacthi's eyes grew glassy with tears. Devon put his head in his hand. Avery folded her arms on the table and set her head on them breathing deeply. Kade turned away to look out a window. "Crevan, what happened?" "He sent on us on an assignment together and when we returned... the dojo was burnt to the ground, when we searched the rubble we found barley recognizable sinzged clothing. He sent us to what we thought was a skeleton army camp. That was when Devon discovered his note." Hacthi handed me a sheet of paper. I read it aloud.

"My beloved students, I'm very sorry I had to send you all the way out here on foot. I knew the trek would be difficult, I actually was counting on it. You see this was actually a wild goose chase, the skeleton army was not where I sent you, as you can see this was my home at one time. The other night when I took a walk by myself I was given a vision. A glimps of the future. How Garmadon stole the golden weapons so I sent you to fight him but you did not make the journey I will not say how. But I will say that it was my fault. There is one way to reverse this curse. Yes it is a curse. Something that I tryed hiding long ago. What I must do I might not survive. I knew that if you were here you would have tryed to help me but this is something I must do on my own. I hope one day you will understand what I had to do. If I don't survive I want you to know that I care so very much about you. Love your beloved master and friend, Crevan." My eyes start to tear up but I hold them back I will not cry in front of my students. Crevan was one of my best friends I knew all too well about his unfortunate curse. "Crevan was a good man." "He told us before we left on our mission if anything were to happen to him we were to return to you." Hacthi said firmly. My friend did not think he would survive, "Do not worry there is a place here for all of you." "Thank you sensei." Hacthi said with a little bow. But I could tell that he was grieving through his smile.

Kai-

We have to share our room with Devon and Hacthi, while Nya agreed to share her room with Avery and Kade. Sensei asked if they wanted a bunk bed like we all have but apparently Devon likes to sleep in a hammock skewered across the ceiling and Hacthi said that sensei shouldn't waste money on a bed because he "hasn't slept in one in years". I don't know about these guys they seem weirder than Zane when we first met him. "So, uh Devon, who's the leader of the four of you?" I question trying to make conversation. "Hacthi, he is our head." Cole then turns to Hacthi who was rolling out a mat to sleep on. "Hacthi, you lead the attack on us? You didn't strike me as that type of person." Cole stated "No I did not lead the attack... I guess it was poor leadership. But Kade was the one who convinced us to see our capabilities in comparison to that of yours. I know it sounds foolish but Kade is a very motivational speaker." "Kade the orange one?" Cole said cautiously. Hacthi nodded "Yes." "Once again I found myself listening to her instead of you." Devon said disappointedly. "She also seems to be a, very capable fighter." "Cole, you're only saying that because she beat the tar out of you." I laughed. "No actually she's the one who picks up on movements and tactics of her opponent quicker then the rest of us." Hacthi started "She also is the most cunning out of all of us, well in my opinion anyway." Hacthi said with a half hearted chuckle. "And you are the leader of your group?" Hacthi asked Cole with an outstretched hand. "Uh, yeah." Cole said as he rubbed the back of his neck with a little smile. Cole shook Hacthi's hand hopefully we can keep peace with each other now that there is going to be so many more of us.

Nya-

I was honored that Avery and Kade were willing to share a room with me. "So Avery, Kade, how much of the ninjas accomplishments do you guys know of?" I ask them "Not much, but I do know that they defeated the skeleton army" Avery said with a smile. Kade rolled her eyes but smiled. "They've done more than that they just recently retrieved all four Fangblades and they are on there way to destroy them now." "That's right you did tell us that on the way here. And that's how you knew whare they were. Sorry I forgot." I looked at Kade then Avery then back at Kade. "How did you know about the Fangblades? It only happened yesterday." Kade twists her face and then says "I read all the newspaper articles on the ninja." "...and that Samurai." Avery says turning to me "I'm pretty sure that Kade is jealous that the ninja has taken her spot here as a student of Sensei." Kade punches Avery in the arm. "Yeah why is it that you attacked Cole? Isn't Hacthi your leader?" I inquired. Kade looked at me, "Hacthi may be our leader but I wanted to pair everyone up with an elemental power they could handle, Hacthi had to be paired against Kai, so I battle against Cole... That and Hacthi didn't really want to fight, something about first impressions." Kade laughs. "like I said, I think she's jealous so took the responsibility of fighting Cole without even useing her elemental powers." Avery says before dodging a punch from Kade. These girls are different but I think they're going to be good teammates and great friends.

Lloyd-

Saw the new ninja but I didn't really want to meet the ninja yet until later: I wanted to impress them with some of my awesome skills... well, as soon as I have awesome skills. So I continue practicing in the training center below deck. I may be the green ninja but I don't have any real moves yet. I try another go at the turn table as we fly near fire torch mountain. Kai, Cole, Zane, and Jay are going to dispose of the Fangblades and those new guys said they are going to watch, sounds lame to me. But I'll let them do that boring stuff and I can practice fighting which is cool. Then all of a sudden I was thrown back and slammed against the ground. Then for a split second I saw a flash of purple then heard an evil chuckle. I felt something constrict around my neck I tryed to pry the invisible force from my neck as I was being lifted off the floor. As I kicked the air I heard another laugh when Pyrhor appered "Pythor! What are you doing here?!?" "You didn't think I would just let you walk away with all four Fangblades did you?" He taped over my mouth and tied me to the punching bag. I began to flail, I had to warn the ninja about Pythor before it was to late.

Cole-

Each of us walked onto deck each of us carrying a Fangblade. As Hacthi, Kade, Avery, and Devon followed us. I believe Devon said that since we were the one who retrieved the Fangblades we should have the honors of destroying them. We walked over to sensei "Sensei we are ready to destroy all four Fangblades." Kai said aloud. I looked at our sensei something was wrong. "Sensei, what is troubling you. You've been distant all morning." I asked with concern. "*sigh*, I saw a vision about the devourer, but I could not see past that into tomorrow. I'm filled with worry that I shall not make it." sensei said with dispare. "Awww sensei, you've been alive like forever." We looked at Kai "What Kai means is that you are like the sunrise a day without you is incomplete." Zane corrected "Yes but the sun will always set and a new day will always take its place," sensei said with a stern voice. I herd murmuring from behind us. "Sensei, I dont like metaphors, what are you trying to say?" I almost demanded. "I'm saying, that we should destroy these Fangblades." "but-but-" Jay stammers. "butts are for sitting." sensei Wu says before laying down a plank of wood. Then all of a sudden the ship abrubplly leans to the right side. And as I hold the railing I see sensei slipping out of the corner of my eye "SENSEI!!!" I cry. I run for him. Jay dives after him holding sensei's hands Devon grabs Jay's ankles I follow suit and grab Devon's ankles. Then I feel a tug I look up Kade has my ankles and so on up till Kai who's holding Hacthi's ankles and holding to the plank by his feet I surely hope he can hold all of us then that's when I hear Lloyd over the intercom yell "Pythor's on board!" just at that second Pythor stood over us with all four Fangblades in his arms as he said "I would love to see how this turns out, but I really must run." "where do you think your going?!" Lloyd's voice says heroically "a child is still a child even if he is the green ninja." Pythor says smugly. "the green ninja! Did he say the green ninja!" Kade says with glee. "Don't get your hopes up. It's only Lloyd and he has alot of training to go through." "don't you think this is a little cleshé?" "what's cleshé?" "oh, you're a child you would never understand." "hey I've grown up alot." Lloyd lunges towards Pythor. He easily moves out of the way. Regaining his stance he jumps towards Pythor again but Pythor slithers out of range. "you a child, think you can defeat me?" Pythor laughs. "no I'm just distracting you untill the cavalry arrives." Pythor turns around to see the Samurai land behind him. He gulps, this leaves an opening for Lloyd who kicks him in the side of the face. The Samurai slaps Pythor across the deck the force knocks us loose I loose grip on Devon's ankles yet I feel Kade gripping trightly to my right ankle it almost hurts how tight she has me I hear the occasional scream but my teeth are clenched and my eyes shut. Then suddenly I feel someone catch us I open my eyes I see Nya, "I've never been so glad to see you!" Jay exclaims "thank me later, we have a snake to catch." she replies

Hacthi-

Once back on the bounty Lloyd retrieved Cole and his team's weapons the young boy pleads to come with us he has great enthusiasm but Kai was right he was too valuable as the chosen one and he would be a greater asset if he were on the ship. We take off from the bounty in our vehicles, down the side of the volcano we rode I was surprised to see that Kai's vehicle was just a bigger version of mine. And Devon's trike was close to Zane's motorcycle Kade's jet was just a little more flashy then Jay's but nothing compared to Avery's glider with the purple sheet metal (with the caritures on top) that mimicked paper. With the sleek black metal body cage thing that held her in the half laying position. We reach this tour bus which the Serpentine has stolen and mutated "Don't get to close to that tail!" Cole shouted. "I got this one." I heard Zane say as he barreled over the tail car and freezes the connector and sets it free. Kai, Cole, Avery, and I jump atop the bus while Devon, Zane, Jay, and Kade hop inside the bus. Cole and Avery are ahead of us. Serpentine craw out of the sides onto the roof. Kai and I readied our stance. I whack my Bo Staff against the side of a Hypnobri who flys off the bus then I knock the feet out from a Venomari. I hear Kai grunt, I turn to see Kai hanging off the side of the bus. "You try fighting up here!" I here him say to someone inside. I make sure that it's safe for him to climb back up. "You ok?" I ask him while fighting some Constricti. "Yeah I'm fine, how you holding up?" he asked me "Could be doing better." I replied as we were surrounded by snakes. Then down lands Nya in her Samurai armor with Sensei Wu on her sholder she swipes away most of the sorrounding snakes. "Thanks sis!" Kai shouts over the whirling wind.

Avery-

Cole was behind me up until we reached a cleared out section of bus where I no longer needed to use my wind powers as a buffer. Cole told me to wait as he climbed into a car. Just as he was going to say all clear. A whole mess of Serpentine slithered in "Where do you think your going ninja?" I heard one of them say. Then he turned his scythe into his vehicle, throwing nearly all of them out. I rammed through a window knocking the remaining Serpentine out the other side of the bus. Then Cole's scythe transformed back to normal. I let out a little giggle when the Samurai ripped off the roof. The rest of the ninja jump into our tram. I looked ahead of Cole and I, Sensei Wu appeared. "Come on guys!" I hear Kai say. But once we start towards the last car Sensei disconnected it from us. "Sensei!" I shout. "this is not your destiny but mine. You're destiny is to train Lloyd now." "this is starting to become a habit with him!" Kai growls as we drift farther off.

Lloyd-

I see the bus with the ninja in it falling farther behind. I lower anchor and latch it on the side of the bus. "to the city of Oraboraus!" I say. I hear cheering, I did it, I did something useful! Soon we reach the old Serpentine city. The ninja roll off the bus and head into the city.

Cole-

We enter the city as, the ground begins to shake. I see Sensei and Pythor standing in what I think the Serpentine call a slither-pit. "Sensei!" I call hopping that he'll run to us, to safety. "This is my destiny, I must fulfill it. You're destiny is to train Lloyd. Go ninja go." at the very moment he finished saying that the ground shook and broke open, out slithered a snake as if from a charmer's basket. The devourer looked down at Sensei and Pythor and in one gulp he swallowed them whole. "sensei-" Kai croaked. Avery let out a choking sob. Zane patted her on the back even thought he himself was blinking back tears. The devourer snapped his head to look at us. My eyes widened "RUN!!!" Then we made a mad dash for it.
