Kai wakes up from his bed, he strangely feels invigorated with energy that he had not felt in years. he then jumps out of his bed to get breakfast.
"Oh man, I feel great." The fire ninja said
"Whoa Kai, you seem more energized than usual," Cole said while getting milk for his cereal.
"I know cole, I haven't felt this good in a long time," Kai said
Jay, Zane, Nya, Lloyd, and Cole sit down at the table and notice that Kai hasn't sat down.
"Hey, Kai are you gonna get cereal?" Jay asks.
Kai then turns around and the ninja sees that he has a steak on his plate.
"Isn't it too early for dinner Kai?" Lloyd said.
"Um... no." The Fire Ninja said while putting the plate on the table.
The ninja starts eating their breakfast, Cole and Zane start to discuss Kai's strange Behavior.
"Kai has been acting.. strange." The Ice Ninja says. "Do you think that wolf creature did that?"
"That is nonsensical Zane." Cole retorts."Maybe that sleep he got really did rejuvenated him.
"Yeah but sleep shouldn't have made him feel better, there has to be more to this." Zane says."I mean look at the way Kai is eating his food."
The two ninjas look over at Kai who is seen wolfing the steak down with his hands.
"What?" Kai asks with his mouth full.
"Nothing Kai." Zane and Cole both say.
"I'll have to look into this further,"Zane says
"Well ok then," Cole says.
Zane then gets up from the table and goes to research the incident with Kai and the Wolf Creature.
Kai then gets up and goes to the fridge to find more steak and starts to wolf that down. Jay then talks to cole
"So cole, what were you and Zane discussing?" The lightning ninja asks.
"We were talking about how Kai is acting strange, Zane thinks its because of that wolf creature," Cole says
"Well you never know Cole, anything could have happened that could have caused that to happen to Kai," Jay says
"I know Jay, but I feel that my gut Is telling me that this situation sounds fishy, but my mind keeps telling me it's not so I'll have to wait it out until Zane gets done with his research on this matter," Cole explains.
"Hmm, I hope we find a conclusion to this situation," Jay says.
-Later that day-
Cole walks up to his Dad's house and knocks on the door, His father then opens the door.
"Hey son, its good to see you again at my house," Lou says
"Hey dad," Cole says.
Cole then enters his father's house and they sit down on a couch
"So what brings you here Cole?" His father asks.
"Well, there is something I'd Like to talk to you about." The Earth Ninja answers.
"What is it that you would like to talk about Cole?" Lou asks
"it's about Kai and how he has been acting strangely lately." Cole says
"What has he been doing that's been strange?" Cole's Father asks
"Well first off, he started to eat a few steaks at breakfast and with his hands too might I add, which is unusual because he never does that at breakfast." Cole answers
"What's been causing him to act this way?" Lou asks.
"Well, last night he went to get to get some cake for a surprise birthday party that was planned by my friends and then he said he was attacked by this wolf creature," Cole says
"Hmm, I read these books about werewolves and these symptoms all match up with what appears to be symptoms of werewolves," Lou says
"So you are saying is that Kai... is a werewolf," Cole says
"Yes, I'm afraid," Lou says
"Dad, you do realize werewolves don't exist right?" Cole asks
"Yes, but you never know," Lou says. "But has Kai shown symptoms of increased aggression?"
"Well no." The Earth Ninja says
"Then we'll have to see." Cole's Father said.
Cole then looks at the clock and sees that it is very late.
"Well I guess I have to go dad, it was nice talking to you," Cole says
"It was nice talking to you too son, I'll see you later," Lou says
Cole then walks home to the Airjitzu Temple.
-4 Weeks later-
Over the course of weeks, Kai's strange behavior stays mostly the same, going to the kitchen every morning to get meat and eating it, demanding more throughout the day. As the Moon Phases pass by from New Moon to Waxing Crescent, to Half Moon, to Waxing Gibbous, Kai begins to feel more restless, hungry and his attitude grows worse.
"So Kai, how are ya feelin?" Jay asks.
"Hungry, Hungry for Medium Rare Steak." Kai answers.
"But Kai its 9 PM, we should have been in bed by now," Jays says
"But Kai its 9 PM, we should have been in bed by now," Kai says in a mocking manner
"Hey what's your problem Kai!?" Jay asks
"What the fuck is your problem Jay, you should be getting me what I want, which is a medium rare steak." The Fire Ninja says with an Attitude.
"What is my problem? you've been the one giving me an attitude for the past few days now." The Lightning Ninja says annoyed.
"So?" Kai says
"So?" What do you mean by "So"." Jay asks
"You know what, You don't deserve an answer Jay, just go to bed," Kai says with a smart elleck tone.
"You know what fine," Jay says
"Fine be that way!" Kai says with an angry tone.
"You only have one more day Kai." someone says.
"Who said that?" Kai asks.
"Me." The figure says
Kai then looks around and sees a walking corpse.
"Who the hell are you?" Kai asks.
"I am one of the Undead, I was murdered by the werewolf that infected you in the woods Kai." The Corpse says.
"Werewolves don't exist, i was attacked by a big wolf...that could stand... on two legs." Kai says to the corpse not believing him.
"But you were Kai, and you only have one day left before the inevitable occurs." The Corpse
"The Inevitable?" Kai asks.
"Yes, tommorrow is a Full Moon, kill yourself before its too late ." The Corpse says
"But I can't be!" Kai tries to say before the corpse dissapears. "Damnit!"
"Kai are you alright?" Skylor asks.
"Yes skylor, but you are back?" Kai asks.
"Yes, I have decided to return to join the with you guys." Skylor says.
"Well I'm glad you are here with us." Kai says
