No Ones POV
As Jay slowly made his way down the hall, he could feel his casted leg throbbing from last night. During lunch and dinner periods, Lloyd caught him staring at Rachel, more then three times, so the master of engery kicked him right in his leg.
In all honesty Jay believed he deserved it, since he was sitting right next to his girlfriend, Nya. He was surprised that she didn't even catch him drooling over Rachel.
Jay was now dressed in a pair of overall, ready for todays work. Breakfast wasn't till nine, so he still had two hours to go.
"Stupid Martin." He grumbled. The young male greatly hates Ricky Martin, as you can tell. Mainly for the fact that he knows Martin has a crush on Nya. No doubt about it.
"Stupid who now?" Came a laughing voice from behind. Jay sighed as he stopped in his tracks. Looking back, he gave a weak smile, trying his best to make it real.
Jay rubbed his eyes,"Hi Rachel." He watched as she shut her door and joined him."Good morning." He slowly turned and started walking on, he had lots of work to get done, and he didn't want to have yesterday's encounter happen again.
Rachel moved with him slowly, not daring to speed up." So, how do you think work is gonna be today, since I showed you everything yesterday." She said cooly. Jay felt his face heat up, but yet he felt awkward walking with her.
"I think it'll be a piece of cake, no dirt off my shoulders." He replied, turning at the end of the hall."I don't wanna brag, but I think I can beat anyone in a building competition." He went on.
They came to a stop at the entrance to their section."Keep dreaming blue boy."Rachel laughed, jogging to her place. Jays face turned a bright pink as he walked in.
"I'm gonna be in deep sludge." He mumbled, grabbing blue prints from the front counter. He wasn't necessarily awake either, he nearly fell down his concrete steps when he left his quarters.
Slowly he made his way to his little 'office', or his work area. He had most of his tools organized in there. For his OCD would have drove him crazy if he didn't do what he normally does.
He laid the blueprints on the his work bench and used two large wrenches as weight, to hold the corners down. He quickly scanned the prints, it was to a simple metal exoskeleton. It would allow the operator to run at fast paces without a sweat, you'd have extra strength, but not as strong as Cole would be.
Whoever designed this had no clue on what they were working with. By the time Jay had finished looking over it he had pretty much re-did the whole exoskeleton. Instead of rivets, bolts would be used.
The original was going to be made of some what thick shert metal, but Jay's going to use heavy duty steel. The arm and leg joints would now have stopping pistons, allowing you to stay crouching at a certain angle for long periods, when lifting or holding a heavy object.
For this, each forearm plate would have a button to release pressure in the pistons, allowing you to move freely, you'd also be able to lock the pistons in place. Strapped on the back plate would be a metal tank, full of whatever gas will be used to trigger the pistons. It will be covered and protected by a steel rebar cage, with sheet metal welded onto it.
All joints will be able to move freely, so you'd get more movements than front to back, side to side, 360 degrees. Around the main exoskeleton would be reinforced sheet metal, to protect your skin and body better.
As Jay set down his pen and smiled, he was actually going to like doing this job. Maybe it wasn't gonna be that bad...
His smile slowly went away as he felt a hand on his shoulder. Jay sighed and closed his eyes while turning around."What." He said grumpily.
"Wow, you seem tired." He shot his eyes open and happily smiled, knowing it wasn't Rachel. Nya smiled at him as he brushed a hand through his hair stupidly, he was used to doing that, but now he can't because his hair is short.
"Sorry, and yea I am tired." Jay said, wrapping his arms around her waist and burring his face in the crook of her neck. He hummed while she hugged him back."Its nice to at least have you here." He added.
"What are you working on?" Nya asked, moving to the set of prints on the wood work bench. The master of lightning groaned when Nya let go of him, he just wanted to rest.
"Its a prototype, but these people obviously don't know how to make an exoskeleton. I added lots of things, and took out stupid stuff." Jay started to grab some of his tool." The
exoskeleton will allow you to lift extremely heavy objects and run at a fast pace."
"Sounds cool." Nya said glancing back over the prints." If this is going to be used in combat, you probably want to galvanize the steel, and give it a good paint job." Nya added a few notes to the prints.
Jay gave a small chuckle." If you know so much, why don't you help me" He looked down at his blue cast and frowned."This damn thing isn't gonna be off soon, I all the help I can get."
"Sure, I can go see if someone else can come and help me bring the metal." Nya started off back towards her station, all the way across the football field sized area. Three stories up.
If Jay was gonna be honest, he thinks its kinda annoying having people work above you. The constantly drop things and sharp objects, and apprently those people who work above are the experts. Also Nya's help hopefully will keep Rachel away from Jay during his work hours.
Lloyd drenched himself in water, he felt the urge to collapse onto the floor. His bones were aching and his shirt was absolutely covered in sweat. Everyone else was also drenched in sweat, and giving off a foul smell.
He gasped for air constantly as he looked around to find his companions. Kai, Baker, and Jeff were his friends in his group. Baker had black hair and blue eyes, he was 19. Jeff is a red head and also is 19.
Each group has four members, well it depends on which section of military you were put in. In Lloyds case there are four. The maximum is 10. All four of them were dying of exhaustion, Kai and Lloyd have never experienced anything like this.
"This...this is so much worse than ninja training." Kai spat out as fast as he could. His training uniform was going to stink forever, it seemed, and they thought Wu trained them hard. Kai walked over to a 'quick rinse' station as he took oft his two layers of shirts.
He turned the water on and bent over to clean his back and head. He gave a sighed of relief, that cold water felt so good in the muggy air.
"I wish we were in the upper class," Baker coughed out." The don't have to train as hard." He stared awkwardly at Kai as he started to walk back to them. Kai raised an eyebrow as he grabbed a towel.
"Problem?" Kai grabbed a water bottle and starter to chug it all. It had gatorade in it, the Sergant says its better for you in these breakbreaks.
Baker shook his head,"No, its just...well...your jacked."
Kai started to cough on his drink while laughing,"No..no no." Another few coughs came out."I'm not the jacked one, nor is Lloyd. He see Cole over there."
Baker followed Kai's fingure and spotted him, he was walking back to his group now, his shirts and towels in hand."Woah." Baker said, feeling unconfident. He was the scrawniest one in his group.
Kai noticed his new friends change in emotion."Hey don't worry. If you want, for our free time I can help you." The master of fire laid the towel around his shoulders."Breakfast is in ten minutes." He added, while stetching.
"Good, I'm starving." Lloyd said, laying back on a cold, metal bench.
Martin stood smirking while watching the security cameras. Oh he was going to show the ninja who is better."I knoe that face sir." Said an approaching figure, Martin looked slightly to his right. Matter of fact, he was his best friend.
"Oh please Sergeant Carter, if you know me so much, what am I thinking." He asked focusing back on the cameras. Today he was wearing dark green cargo pants, black military boots, and a dark green shirt. His pants were held up by a specially made leather belt.
"The boy, the aburn one, the one who's drooling took over him last night, are you going to confront him?" Sergeant Carter asked curiously. He couldn't help but wonder what his master was going to do.
A bigger smile formed on Martin's face."Actually I was going to have you bring him to me for a talk, but your idea is much better." Martin spun around quickly as he started towards the exit." Tell my forger to get the imprint ready, extra hot.. We'll show them who's in charge here." He growled.
Carter nodded."Yes sir."
Tons of people were filling up the food court, faster than you could blink. Kai searched for his friends and eventually found them. All the elemental masters were there and Ronin, followed by everyone elses friends they managed to make these past couple of days.
"I'm surprised this food is any good." He heard Skylar say as he sat next to her. Everyone greeted him."Where's your shirt?" Skylar asked with a laugh. She only received a glare from Kai.
"Well sorry. Its not like I had to run for two hours straight! Plus we smelled extremely bad, our shirts are being washed
right now." He spat out, diving into his plate full of food.
"If we are being honest." Ronin started as he tried to quickly chew his food." This isn't that bad. Great food, we are treated well. Plus, you ninja get to meet people without getting swarmed."
Nods came from everyone at the joined tables."On the contrary." A voice boomed, silencing almost everyone. Their attention went to a man and five soldiers, one of which was the forger."I'm glad all of you are enjoying your stay, I do my best to respect my warriors." Martin stopped a few feet from the table, he gave a nod, two of his soldiers made their way around the table and to Jay.
"Yet, sometimes I need to make some things clear, and I mean clear." He gave another nod and almost immediately, Jay was dragged from the table. Nya was the first to react.
"What are you going to do to him?!" She asked ferociously. Almost everyone else at their table stood up with her in anger. A smug smile was printed on Martins face.
"Oh, so glad you asked." He grabbed a metal rod from the forger. It had a neatly carved wooden handle that was stained and at the end were somewhat large letters that spelled U.W.A. and it was red hot.
The two soldiers hold Jay lifted his shirt up over his head as he attempted to get away, he could feel the heat of the rod."Don't you dare." Kai threatened angrily. His eyes were narrowed and his fists were clentched at his sides.
"Oh I dare." Martin said as he raised the rod and planted it firmly on Jays middle upper back. Several shouts came from Jay as the imprint seared his skin. The smell of burnt flesh was in the air, it was foul and hard to watch, some looked away.
Finally Martin pulled the imprint away from Jay's back and handed it back to the forger."Now I believe we have an uunderstandin." He turned Jay around, who was panting and groaning in pain, flinching at every little thing."I own all of you."
Dark jagged letters spelled out U.W.A. on Jays back, enraging his friends. Slowly Jay was stood up by the two soldiers. Cole and Lloyd noticed Kai's sudden mood change and quickly stood in front of him.
"Oh what's wrong fire boy? Did I hurt your little sisters boyfriend?" Martin taunted, Carter glared at his headmaster. You idiot, he thought. Within a spilt second, Kai was able to sock Martin in his jaw.
"STAND DOWN!" Three of his soldiers shouted, while raising their guns. Sergeant Carter eventually joined in, not wanting to get scolded for not helping his leader.
Martin balanced himself, holding his jaw."Now, now. No need to get frisky. It happens." He turned to Kai and knocked him off of his feet."Should you join your friend Jay here?" Martin laughed as he gave Jay a pat on the back, causing him to jump and cry out in pain.
The master of fire was helped up by his friends."Martin you don't have be such a douche all the time." A female voice said. Everyones attention went to her, Rachel.
"Tsk tsk tsk. Rachel, there can always be a third." He smirked, but it went away as he checked his watch." Unfortunately I have to go, I have a meeting to attend. Let this be a warning to everyone, especially you four." He glanced at Rachel, Nya, Kai, and Jay. He nodded to his men before turning around and heading back to his office.
Jay was thrown forward and caught by Ronin and Rachel. The entire cafeteria was silent during Martin's little lesson, but now everything is turning back to normal. Nya ran over to Jay, quickly examining the burn.
"Oh Jay," She said, supporting him. The ninja formed a small circle around them. Kai was the first and only one to speak.
"I swear his ass is going to get kicked when I get a hold of him. To prevent this from happening again, make sure you guys don't do anything wrong." His heart was racing so fast.
Lloyd quickly glanced at Jay, and he instantly knew why Jay was the one to be imprinted. Damnit Jay, Nya needs to know. He thought, hoping Jay will come to terms.
Please excuse my missed spelling misakes, using my phone which has autocorrect. Hope you all enjoyed!!!!
