What is up! Before you say a delightful animated film about an old man who dreams of fulfilling a life- long goal in honor of his late wife, I'm just going to tell you that I'm having a bit of writer's block, so I decided to start this one. So enjoy and learn about the legends of the samurai.

It was no ordinary day. I was the day that would change the life of Alexus Johnson forever. Alexus was typical teenage girl, no excitement in her life except, well never. She walked to the bus stop every day, lay a normal person. Talked to her friends like a normal person. The only thing that was extraordinary in her life was her advanced vocabulary. She had dreams like a normal person; she dreamed of being successful in life. She liked to be an author and create other worlds for other people to enjoy. "She lived in her own world," as her mother so often put it. She dreamed of meeting famous singers, disappearing into books, and changing the world for the better.

Alexus was heading to the bus stop with her brother, Anthony. He often told her to take her head out of the cloud, and she barely listened to him. They were opposites in many areas, mentally, physically, and even in appearance. He had very dark brown hair that was almost black. Alexus had brown hair that was only the slightest shade dark. His eyes changed depending on the weather, and her eyes always remained dark hazel. He loved sports, and the only sport she could ever have a chance in was Quidditch. Her intellectual standards were above average. He seemed to lack focus when it came to reading. He spent his free time in school outside playing sports, and she spent her time inside in the computer room working on her stories. He wanted to be an NFL star, and she wanted to be the next J. K. Rowling. He had no role model, and hers was Emma Watson.

They stopped when they reached their destination. "Slug buggy, white!" Alexus shouted. "Ow! Hey, that's a Ford!" Alexus shrugged and said, "Same difference." He punched her back. "Ow! What was that for?" Anthony shrugged and said, "No apparent reason." They waited 5 more minutes; the bus was to come in 5 more. Suddenly, Alexus felt a change in the atmosphere. She couldn't say what the feeling was like, but she knew something was bound to change in the course of the next 5 seconds. When suddenly, a giant mutated snake with the structure of a human body crashed through the ground! Pavement chips flew everywhere, and more followed the first snake. "What are those?" Anthony asked; fear wide in his blue eyes. Alexus gulped and said, "I think the aliens finally came!"

At the sound of her voice, the snakes turned towards her. "RUN!" Anthony shouted. Alexus ran alright, but not in the direction of safety; she ran into the direction of the mutants. One that had black scales aimed a fist at her, but she caught it midway. She automatically regretted it, for it felt like she just broke her hand in the process. Still, she used a certain technique that had the snake on its knees. She lifted her arm up and kicked the snake in the stomach. Another one aimed a kick at her and she caught what she guessed was the leg. She threw the leg up with all her might, and the snake lost balance. She backed away and said, "Maybe next time you'll come in peace!" She only had a second to enjoy her small victory, for another one with orange scales came out of her blind spot and punched her in the face. She stumbled a little, and said "going down." Then she collapsed.

Anthony was about to rush to Alexus' aid when two snakes picked her unconscious form up by the arms. But, an old man with a long white beard and a straw hat appeared out of nowhere and rested his hand on Anthony's shoulder. "Patience young Anthony and watch." No sooner had the words left his mouth have five figures jumped out of apparently nowhere. The first thing Anthony noticed was that their clothing consisted of one color, and that their faces were hidden under ninja hoods. "Let the girl go," said a slightly rough voice that came from a figure in all black. The snakes threw Alexus to the side and a figure in all white caught her just before she hit the ground. In those two seconds alone had a battle started between the snakes and the concealed people.

The figure all in white brought Alexus to the old man and Anthony. He took off his hood and said, "Sensei, I do not believe her to be injured, just that she has a broken hand and a bruised jaw." The white-clad figure had a handsome appearance. He had sandy colored hair that was in a buzz-cut sort of fashion. His skin was also paler than usual, and his icy blue ice made his skin seem even paler. He also had a slightly built frame that gave Anthony the impression that this guy worked out regularly. "Anthony, this is Zane, one of my students." Zane held out his hand, buy Anthony high-fived it instead of shaking it. Zane gave him a confused look as the other figures started to show up. Anthony looked over to the street and saw the bodies of the snake people on a pile. "These are the rest of my students," the old man said. "Kai, Jay, Cole and Lloyd." He said, indicating them in turn. They all removed their hoods as he said their names.

They all appeared in their late teens. The first thing that Anthony noticed about Kai was that his hair was held up in large natural spikes. He, like Alexus, had dark hazel eyes and dark brown hair. He too was muscular, more than Zane, it appeared. He was the one dressed in red. There was a certain look in Kai's eyes that made Anthony trust him. Jay was the one in blue. He had brown hair too, but it was a chestnut brown instead that was held up in a well-kept manner. He had a cut in his right eyebrow and sapphire blue eyes. Under all of that was a goofy grin that gave Anthony the impression that he was thinking of something really funny, but was trying so hard not to laugh. Cole was the black-clad figure and he conveniently had black hair too, that was very shaggy, yet fitted him very well. He had thick eyebrows, along with jade green eyes that had a look of seriousness in them. He obviously exercised often, for he had a strong, muscular arm folded across his chest. He had a small frown, but not as if he was angry, but as though as he was thinking intensely. He gave Anthony a curt nod. Lloyd was the figure in green. He had pale blond hair that was slightly shaggy, yet also well kept. He had emerald green eyes and a small trust-worthy small on his lips.

Anthony thought that they looked like guys in the band Single Way. He was pretty sure that one of the band member's names was even Zayn. He didn't particularly like the band, but his sister was a huge fan like almost every other girl in the world. He thought that they looked familiar in a certain way, but he couldn't remember where. Then he did. "ALEXUS' HEROS!" he shouted. "What?" Cole asked. "Alexus is always talking about the heroes of Ninjago! Now I know why you guys look familiar!" They only had a look of confusion on their faces. "Do you live near here?" Sensei asked. "Yeah, we should go there incase those things come back. By the way, my mom will more than likely freak out!"

So, what do you think? What does Alexus have to do with the story? Well, we'll soon find out. You don't have to review, buy it will be appreciated.
