{Location: The airjutzu temple}(Zane's POV)[Time: Between Undeniable and Black & White]

My calendar sends me an alert. Sparting time with brothers. My programming automatically performers my roll call. Sensei/reffer. Myself: Check. Kai: Check. Cole: Check. Jay: Check. Lloyd: Absent due to medication. Morro: Missing. 

Kai picks out his sword, "So, what are the matches for today Zane?"

As I am about to roll the dice, the doors burst open as Morro dashes in. He is breathing heavily and nearly runs into Jay, "Sorry I'm late. Lloyd kept me up."

Jay rolls his eyes as he grabs his weapon, "What the heck were you two doing? I thought you were' just letting Kit say hi to Willow."

"I agree with Jay," I frown as Cole grabs his training scythe, "I would have thought simply saying hello would not have taken much time."

"We...um...encountered a few different problems."  Morro rubs the back of his head as I grab throwing stars. He spins into his gi as Sensei has an idea face on, "So how does this work?"

Kai rests his sword on his shoulders, "Well, we're sparing, A.K.A., fighting. Witch involves punching, hitting, kicking-um, on second thought you might need to take some notes, newbie."

Jay and Cole snicker a little as I'm a tad lost. Morro already knows how to fight. Why did Kai feel the need to explain it and in that way?

"Har-har, you're so funny," Morro moves his hand over one of the staffs then picks the one that has a striking resembling Sensei's.

I turn to Sensei, "If you would like, I can calculate an algorithm on randomized changes for today's matches."

"I appreciate the thought Zane but I have another idea for today's training."  He spins, leaving a small gold trail in his path. Once he's done, it's a perfect circle. He smirks as he sits criss-cross, "Morro, remember circle time?"

Morro moans and covers his eyes, "No. Not that 'game'. I hate that exercise."

"Umm," Cole folds his arms as Morro shuffles his feet into the middle, "What the heck is that?"

Sensei sits up tall, "It's easy. There's a circle of people, with one in the middle. The one in the middle has to fight off everyone else. The 'game' ends either when the middle person can not go on or the others are pushed outside the circle line. I've never done with you four and we had other things to work on with Lloyd."

Jay huffs as I look up and see the girls watching us from the second floor, "Easy stuff. Like you said, it's four on one."

Morro takes a deep breath then starts swinging his staff around.

Sensei schoots back a little, "One more thing. Kai, Morro and I had a conversation earlier. So for the first match we will allow powers."

A not too quiet round of yeses under our breath sounds.

Morro stops spinning and pulls on his hood. He starts swinging the staff side to side figure 8 style.  "It's not gonna be that easy."

"Oh come on," Kai draws his sword as we slowly draw closer to Morro, "The last time we did this, you had the power of the Green Ninja."

I feel like Sensei knows something we do not. He holds up a small symbol and hits it, "Began."

Cole grips his scythe, "All in."

Ah yes. 'All in', our code for, bomb rush someone. And we do just that.

Only it does not work out for us. I slam in like the others do but Morro vanished.

Jay looks around until a whistle pulls our eyes up. Morro is balancing with one hand on his staff. Jay smiles a little too wide, "Seriously? Cole, if you'd please."

Cole lowers his scythe and aims for the bottom of Morro's staff.  "My pluseuer."

Prehapes this is how the game is played but it feels way too easy. Then I realized Morro's anticipation, "Wait-"  I'm too late at the scythe's momentum is already in motion.

The sytch blade dose hit the staff. However, Morro lets go at the same time. As gravity pulls him down he twists around. The wind inside picks up and he literally blows Cole to the wall. He lands in a push-up position, jumps up, and kicks up his staff into his hand. His grips it with both hands and starts pointing the tip at those remaining. Morro snickers, "So I look like I was born yesterday?"

"All right," Kai swings his sword up, light it on fire and slashes down, "Playtime is over."

Morro leans his neck right then left as his joints crack, "About time." His mask moves showing a smirk.

Kai swings up and down as Jay and I start up our spinjutzu. Only again things do not work out in our favor. Morro flips above up, giving a small kick to Kai's forehead. He lands behind me as Kai regains his footing.

He winches as Jay and I run into him. He steps back a little as we back off.

Sensei chuckles lightly, "Out."

"WHAT?!"  KAI looks down, his left foot is completely outside the circle.  "But-I.-"

"Out."

He grumbles and sits next to Cole.

Morro taps the ground loudly then holds it like a baseball bat, "2 down, 2 to go."

Jay swings his weapon high as I hold my throwing stars, "Ok, smart guy. Pretty clever but Zane and I are a great team."

I replay the last 2 minutes as we start circling him. He goes high. So a simple fake out will catch him off guard. Morro swings at us.

I drop level as Jay jumps back but reaches forward and catches it with the string attaching his nunchucks. He holds it with his hand then starts playing tug of war with him. Jay drops his weapon and gets a better grip, "Zane, now."

I nod, my throwing starts spinning. I have him now. Somehow he already pulled the staff back to him and blocks my attack. I look behind me and see Jay outside the circle, holding his stomach.

I have more strength than him. Mabey I should try both outsmarting and outmuscling him.  "My analyses show that you pocked Jay out of the ring. Clever."

Morro tries holding strong but I an already see where to hit next, "Thank you. It has just been a matter of timing and luck so far. I'm looking forward to a challenge."

I can imagine my brother's lightly furious faces right now. I throw him back as I pose, one throwing staring in front of me, one above my head, "Then a challenge you will receive."

The next round of attacks is fast. Block, strick, counter strick. Counter-counter strick. Counter-counter-counter strick. Counter-counter-counter-counter strick. Counter- you get the idea. I roll back and kick up. I throw my weapons as Morro somehow catches them on his staff. However, this is my trick. There are strings attached to my wrist. I yank back, ridding him of his weapon.

Only it sails over my head, with my weapons, outside the circle.

I keep cool and I ball my knuckles, "I meant to do that."

"You meant to lose both weapons?"  Morro choices a side stands as my scanner indicates his adrenaline is still rising.

"Nither are part of the equation. Still an even fight but now with less danger."  I close up, covering my stomach(Even though I do not have one) and keeping my knuckles on my cheeks,(even though my face is made of metal). I lunch punch.

Morro dives down while blocking and punches my thigh. He whimpers as he pulls back his right hand. He holds it tenderly as his eyes water slightly.

He can't hit metal. I open my hand, sending out a small flare of frost under his feet. He slips until he's outside the circle.

Sensei hits the gone, "End of match. Zane wins."

My brothers cheer as Morro holds his wrist loosely. I head over to him, forming ice in my hand. I hold it up, "Do you require this?"

"No. No. I'm good. Very tough."  Morro bites his lips. A few seconds of awkward quiet later he takes it, "Nevermind. You have very thick skin."

A possible complement? I relax my hand as the girls cheer from above, "I am constructed with a flexible non-conductive - titanium layer followed by," I pause. Chill out, Zane. Not everyone is a nindrod.  "Thank you. Good match."

Sensei strokes his beard, "Well done. Perhaps we can do this again. Tomorrow."  The males of the team moan. Sensei heads to the door as I can smell some of Pixel's cooking, "With the girls."  Louder moans. The girls snicker as Kit tries to look tough.

Morro slowly this bending his fingers, "Tomorrow is going to be so much fun."

Kai nods as he put his sword back up, "Oh yeah. A total blast."

"I do not understand," I scratch my head, "Neither of you seem to have enjoyed yourself in and after this round. If the next round is like this one, would you enjoy it any more?"

Morro raises an eyebrow, "Sarcasm, Zane. That was sarcasm. Did no one teach this guy about sarcasm?" 

Jay shrugs his shoulders as one of his hands falls into Nya's, "Been there. Tried it. Best of luck if you want to try it."

"Well," I fold my arms, "I am waiting for my lesson in, Sarcasm. Where do we begin?"

Morro hits his forehead, "Thanks, guys. This won't be hard at all."

"Your welcome, buddy," Cole glances at Seliel and moves to talk with her.

"Ok," Morro holds my shoulder with his good hand, "First lesson......is tomorrow. I'm so tired and it's been a busy day."

"Tomorrow then."  I nod as he is drawn to Katara's side.
