Truth's Revealed

After returning to headquarters, Sensei Wu had gotten out an old book that was the history of the shadow ninjas. Everyone sat around the table, ready to listen to Sensei reading the ancient text.

A long time ago, lived a small group of training ninjas. They were forcefully separated from all others because they possessed a dark power. Many people believed that they were evil because of these dark abilities. They were pushed out of society and away from family, even other ninjas.

Over the years, they were able to learn to control their powers and help any one who would except them as they were. They helped many people, but always seemed to stay a secret. There were said to be two types of powers they possessed: healing and bending of dark matter. One could even be able to use both. The shadow ninjas started to die out as civilization advanced. Soon, it was unknown if anyone still had these abilities.

Rumors say that some people know of their dark powers, but do not practice them. They are afraid of what people might have said if they found out. The powers are past down through generations. Time may let shadow ninjas be reborn or let them fade away.

"So let me get this straight. You have some mythical power that was totally misunderstood. And now you're probably the only one of your kind left?" Cole asked Sammy.

"I know I am the only one. I would sense others, but I never have." Sammy frowned after remembering she was indeed the last of her kind.

"How did you learn how to control your powers if you're the only one left?" Zane added to the question.

"Instinct I guess." Sammy always wondered that as well. Using her abilities came easy to her.

"Sammy, if you don't mind, I kind of want see you powers at work." Kai asked politely.

Sammy nodded and the group went outside. Sammy stood at a distance and tried to focus her thought. Suddenly, shadows seemed to begin to surround her. Sammy put one foot forward and she changed outfits. She was now in an all black suit with a purple marking on the sides. A piece of cloth covered her mouth. She reached her hand out towards two boxes. A dark energy surrounded them and they started to shift. Sammy moved the boxes to the other side of the ship by some means of levitation. Everyone was stunned, especially Lloyd. Suddenly, dark energy was surrounding her hand and she shot it into the late night sky. A large gasp came from the group.

"What did you guys think? I can also do healings, although not as proficiently. My dark matter controlling powers are much stronger." Sammy informed everyone.

"That was amazing! With the boxes and the...wow!" Jay screamed. Secretly, shadow ninjas were always a favorite bedtime story of his.

"Wow Sammy! That was amazing. I could never have seen you doing that before." Lloyd said, almost blushing.

"It takes practice and I need a lot more of it."

"You can practice tomorrow with the ninjas. Nya will help make up a room for you." Sensei Wu requested.

"Hold on, I can stay with all of you?" Sammy asked excitedly.

"Defiantly. Come on guys, you heard Sensei. Bedtime." Kai managed to get everyone inside, except Lloyd and Sammy.

"You were amazing. It's so nice to have you back."

"Thanks Lloyd. You were always one of my favorites."

Lloyd blushed and remembered something.

"Wait! Don't go anywhere."

Lloyd ran back to Sammy with an old bracelet in his hand.

"Is that my old bracelet. I asked you to fix so long ago?"

"Yea. I'm not sure how I still have it. I guess I just never gave it back to you. At least it's fix." Lloyd put the bracelet on Sammy's wrist.

"Lloyd, I don't know how to thank you."

"No thanks necessary. But can I ask you something."

"Sure."

"Um...did...did you know I used to have a crush on you?"

"Yes, I did."

"Really?"

Suddenly, Sammy leaned over and put her lips against Lloyd's. Lloyd was shocked, but at the same time, never wanted it to end. The two were in total bliss. Sammy pulled away, said a quick goodnight and went to go find Nya. Lloyd stood there motionless and could not stop smiling. Usually in comics, this is where something bad would happen, but nothing could ruin this. Not even his father.
