Ch.1: The Yellow Ninja of the Winds
It has been six months since the ninja have vanquished the Great Devourer and defeated the Serpentine tribes. The ninja, Sensei Wu, Nya, and Lloyd have settled into their newly built dojo, where the ninja train Lloyd how to wield the Elements. During the time period, Lloyd paid attention to his "older brothers" and practiced all the moves they give him. He knows that he must never give up; he has to be at the top of his game when he must go up against his father, making him proud when he faces him in battle.
One day, when Lloyd and Kai were practicing kendo in the garden, Jay ran up to them, looking rather excited.
"Guys! Guys, ya gotta come quick! Sensei Wu—"
BAM! The Blue Ninja was cut off when Lloyd got distracted and swung his kendo stick right into his face, leaving a pale red line-shaped mark right between his eyes.
"Ow…"
"Jay!" Lloyd cried, quickly removing the stick before removing his kendo mask from his head. "I'm sorry! Are you okay?"
"Yeah, fine," Jay answered, rubbing his now sore face. "I just forgot that you and Kai were kendo practicing this morning. Nice hit though."
"What's up, Jay?" Kai then asked, also removing his kendo mask. "What's all the excitement about?" Jay shot up in reply.
"Oh, right," he answered. "Sensei Wu wants to see us all right away. Something about a new ninja!"
"A NEW NINJA?" Shocked but excited, the two of them ran for the house.
"Hey, wait for me!" Jay cried, chasing after them. The three of them then joined Cole, Zane, and Nya in the living room. Nya gasped when she saw her boyfriend's face.
"Jay," she said, getting up from her chair and rushing up to him, "what happened? Where did you get that mark on your face?"
"It was my fault, Nya," Lloyd answered quickly. "Kai and I were practicing kendo when Jay cried out, and I spun around and…well, that happened." He then pointed at Jay's face.
"Long story short," Jay added with a groan, "accident."
"Well," Nya said calmly as she examined the bruise, "it'll go away soon; I'm sure of it. Nice hit by the way, Lloyd."
"That's what Jay said," Kai replied. The others laughed in reply as Sensei Wu came into the room.
"Ah, I see you are all present," he said before turning to Jay. "And I see that Lloyd is doing well in his kendo training."
"Let's not talk about it, Sensei," Jay groaned.
"Sensei, is it true that there is a new ninja besides Lloyd?" asked Zane.
"Yeah," Lloyd said, now all excited and with a huge smile. "Who is he? A Ninja of Metal? Oh, no, wait! A Ninja of Shadow? That's even cooler!" Sensei Wu held up his hand, and Lloyd quieted down sheepishly.
"To answer your question, nephew," he then said, "she is the Yellow Ninja of the Winds."
"Imagine what she'll look like when—SHE?" Cole cried.
"The new ninja's a girl?" Kai cried.
"Her name is Pamela," Sensei answered with a nod, "and she is far more gifted than you would believe her to be." He then turned to the opened door and nodded.
Into the room stepped a girl of about the ninja's age. She has long, dark brown hair with golden and ruby highlights, all gathered into a ponytail. Her eyes are a bright shade of aquamarine, and they hold a hint of confidence and love for adventure. She has on a sunshine gold tank top with tan yellow khakis and yellow boots. Other than that, she's quite a cutie to Cole, a beauty to Zane, a BFF-for-Nya to Jay, and…disbelief to Kai.
"Sensei, you have got to kidding me!" he then snapped. "How can this…girl be one of us?" The young woman whom Sensei called Pamela then crossed her arms across her chest with a smirk.
"I take it you are Kai," she said, "the Red Ninja who's always getting shown up by his samurai sister." Kai just glared at her in answer as Jay snickered at her remark. And the others called him a smart aleck.
"Hey, my sister may have been a hero herself," he yelled, "but I'm not going to let another girl show me—WHOA!" He was suddenly cut off when a small yellow twister whipped up from under him and lifted him up from the floor. The other ninja were surprised to find that it was all Pamela's doing. Her eyes were glowing gold, and she was twirling her finger around with the smirk on her face.
"Not bad for a girl, huh?" she asked slyly.
"Pamela…" Sensei then said, giving her a stern look. Her smirk then softened.
"Sorry, Sensei," she said as she stopped twirling her finger to stop the twister. "I just thought the guys would like a demo." As she said this, the twister dissipated, and Kai landed on his butt hard.
"Oww…" he groaned as he rubbed his sore rear. The group then heard laughter coming from the door and turned to it. Laughing at Kai is a ring-tailed lemur wearing a leafy crown of some sort. Next to him is a tall penguin.
"You should be seeing your face!" the lemur laughed with an accent that makes him sound Jamaican. "You were stupefied by Pam's twister-n-shout trick!"
"Julien…" the penguin said with an intelligent accent as he rubbed the bridge of his beak with his flipper.
"Who are those two?" asked the fascinated Zane.
"Holy cow!" Jay cried in excitement. "Talking animals! That is so cool!" Pamela just chuckled as she held her arm down for the lemur to climb onto her shoulder.
"Allow me to introduce my two friends," she said. "King Julien of the lemurs of Madagascar, and Kowalski the penguin."
"Uh, how are they talking?" asked Lloyd, fascinated but confused. Kowalski then held up a small black medallion he has around his neck.
"With these translators I've built," he answered. "With these on, Julien and I can talk human talk by having them gently change the vibrations in our voice boxes from animal to human." As the penguin was explaining this, Julien held up his own communicator, which is white.
"I guess I forgot to mention that Kowalski is a genius inventor," Pam replied. "I can communicate with animals thanks to an alteration in my brains via accident a while back, but he built them so that it would be a bit more fair."
"She is also de bestest singer, dancer, and artist ever to be walking earth's face," Julien said, jumping up and down on Pamela's shoulder. "Oh, you should be seeing her when—"
"Julien, no more please," Pam interrupted, holding up her hand to silence him. He then sat back down quickly.
"Sorry."
"Besides her voice and creativity," Sensei then said, "Pamela's dancing skills will prove an asset to us when combined with her fighting skills."
"That is so cool!" Lloyd cried. "I hope I get see you in action soon, Pamela."
"Thanks, tiger," she replied, ruffling his hair with a smile. "And you can just call me Pam. Julien and Kowalski do."
