(3rd person POV)
True to Sensei's word, that day had been the hardest the ninjas worked. Also it had been interesting to watch Soren, Dawn and Nate. Soren, who had gone first constantly tripped over the planks. Sensei just shook his head and said, "Don't worry; you did better than Kai the first time he tried."
"Hey," Kai said angrily.
Dawn on the other hand, kept being hit by the dummy. Cole told her, "Hey you'll get it next time."
But Nate was an interesting case. He did it right but for the planks he jumped every other one; he dodged every other sword, and hit only one side of the dummy. When he was done nobody said anything to him. Not on purpose but because they were all tired or were talking to someone already. So he simply sat down and listened to Sensei Wu.
"Now ninja, as you know, I gave you those lists a couple days ago, "Sensei was saying, "I now want you to go find the people on those lists."
"But Sensei", Jay said.
"How many times do I have to tell you Jay, buts are for sitting", Sensei replied.
Seeing that they were going to get nowhere, the ninja's flew off to find the rest of the people.
(Kai's POV)
I looked at the top of my list to see who I needed to find first.
Kai's List
Ventus = Ninja of Wind
Klumsifang = snake
Cathleen = Ninja of Earth
Teka = Ninja of Fire
Carnegie = Ninja of Water
Ventus? I wondered where I'm supposed to find him. Well, I better start asking around. And with that I flew off to find this so called ninja of wind.
(Jay's POV)
I sighed. Why did we need to find these new ninja's anyway? We do just fine fighting by ourselves. Anyway, I already tried talking Sensei out of it. And that didn't work very well. So I might as well see who I need to find.
Jay's List
Zora = ninja of nature
Mytha = ninja of believing
Allia = ninja of wind
Ryo = ninja of darkness
Ian = ninja of light
Sapphira = Ninja of Water
Zora? Now that was certainly a strange name. But if I needed to find her I needed to find her. So I flew off in search of a mysterious nature ninja.
(Cole's POV)
I took another look at the list in my hand.
Cole's List
Ave' = Ninja of Water
Dawn = ninja of Light
Jayleen = Ninja of lightning
Nate = ninja of ?
Luckily, I had already found Dawn and Nate. More like Dawn and Nate found me. Now, the only person I actually needed to look for was Ave' because Jay's cousin most likely Jay will know where is cousin is. So I flew off in search of Ave' the water ninja.
(Zane's POV)
I
stared at my list in pure confusion. Who were all these people?
Zane's List
Taylor = ninja of ice
Mizuki = Ninja of Water
Kate = ninja of ?
Dreysey aka Drey = ninja of shadows
Then again, I remembered meeting Mizuki the other day. I also remembered telling her that I sensed that she would most likely end up as a water ninja one way or another. Anyways, I needed to find Taylor before I could go and get Mizuki. While keeping a mental note about this, I flew off in search of Taylor the ice ninja. Wait a minute ice ninja?
(Ventus's POV)
I slept on the bench, with Razor watching me, protecting me from any unwelcomed visitors. After playing that sad melody from my harmonica, I cried myself to sleep. Usually I'm not like this but something was pulling at the back of my mind. Razor cawed in alarm and it woke me up. I yawned and rubbed my eyes.
"What's wrong Razor?" I asked my friend sleepily and he cawed again but this time flapped his wings.
He appeared to be looking up at something and a shadow of a dragon covered us. I looked up and I saw the dragon. My mouth opened with disbelief because I was surprised to see a dragon in the city.
"A dragon? What's a dragon doing in the city? I've heard myths of dragons but I never got to see one in person. They're amazing creatures." I said out loud as I watched it in awe.
(Kai's POV)
I passed over Ninjago City Park on Flame, I coundn't help but notice as something caught my eye. Down on the bench appeared to be a teenage boy. I was looking for a boy named Ventus so maybe that was him? But then again who am I to know? I don't have the sixth sense like Zane does but maybe he'll know where Ventus is? I made Flame descend down to where the boy was as he watched me and Flame with fascinated eyes.
"Hey kid," I began as I jumped down and off of Flame.
(Ventus's POV)
"What do you want?" I replied back seriously as I sat up on the bench.
Razor cawed angrily at the guy in the red suit.
"You know a kid named Ventus?" he asked calmly.
"Why would you like to know?"
"I need him to train him to become a better ninja so, says Sensei anyway."
I blinked. He wants me to be a ninja? Ha! He's kidding, right?
"I'm Ventus." I greeted him bluntly as I folded my arms across my chest and gave him a serious expression.
(Jay's POV)
I still could not believe it. I was searching for a girl named Zora. I mean, how many people do you know named Zora? Anyways I was looking for the girl when suddenly I saw a teenage girl yelling,"Zora! Where are you?"
Wow, just my luck. It might not be the girl I'm looking for but at least her names Zora. So I made Wisp fly down there to check things out.
(Mytha's POV)
I was starting to panic. Where could Zora be? I suddenly felt some one grab my leg. I looked down but there was no one there. There was only one person that could be.
"Zora,"I said as calmly as I could, "There's no need to be scared. Mytha's here." With that my little sister reappeared, ponytails and all.
"What were you so scared about Zora?" I questioned my sister.
Without a word she pointed to something in the sky. I looked up. There was a dragon flying up above our heads.
"Stay behind me and make sure it doesn't see you," I told her. Zora immediately obeyed and hid behind me. As the dragon came closed to the ground I noticed a teenager dressed in blue was riding it. When he jumped to the ground I continued glaring at him. He almost didn't seem to notice as he said," Hi I'm Jay, ninja of lightning. Do either of you happen to know a Zora?"
(Zora's POV)
I almost fell over in surprise. Why was Jay, ninja of lightning, looking for me? My sister almost seemed to read my mind.
"Why do you want to know if we know this person?" she questioned.
"Well because they need to train to be a ninja, "he replied. I gasped. Me? A ninja?
Mytha looked at me and raised an eyebrow in puzzlement. I blinked at her in return because I really didn't know what to say. She turned back to look at the lightning ninja.
"Is that so?" she asked him and he nodded his head in agreement.
Finally putting up enough courage, I said, "I'm Zora."
(Jay's POV)
I blinked at the girl who said she was Zora. Can that be? Is she really this Zora character? But, if it is, I smiled at her and asked, "How would you like to become a ninja?"
At first she grinned and said, "I'd love to, except..," her face fell, "Me and my sister don't go anywhere without each other."
The older girl just shook her head and said, "Z-girl you have to learn to do things on your own."
"But Mytha," the younger girl wined. Mytha? Did that girl just say Mytha?
"Well you might not have to leave your older sister behind Zora," she looked at me curiously," because if her name's Mytha, then she also has to come along to become a ninja."
(Cole's POV)
I'd ridden around all day and I was starting to get tired out. Still no sign of that Ave' girl. But I had to go back to the monastery with her or I would have failed my quest. And that would mean I'd failed the team and I was the leader for goodness sake. Anyways, as I looked down, I noticed that Rocky was looking pretty worn out to.
"Don't worry boy, this will be the last time around, okay? Then we can go rest," I told him. As we started going around, I was about to give up when...
(Ave's POV)
I was trying to find my way back to the real world but so far, I found no leads on how to get back home.
"How do I get back home? I miss my older brother and this isn't looking very well for me." I said with a sigh as I kicked a pebble in front of me.
I then noticed a shadow looming overhead and automatically I looked up.
"What in the world? What is that thing?" I asked out of astonishment.
(Cole's POV)
I saw a girl with long black hair with streaks of blue and green in it and pondered if that was Ave, the girl I've been searching for.
"Come on Rocky, maybe that's her down there?" I told him and he gladly descended down near the girl.
She shielded her face with her arm at the powerful gust of wind from Rocky and she stared at me with bafflement. I jumped off of Rocky and approached the girl.
"Excuse me have you seen a girl named Ave? I need to speak with her." I told her seriously.
(Ave's POV)
I couldn't believe it! Cole was standing there in front of me! I smiled at Cole and said, "Well I'm Ave. You must be Cole right? Ninja of Earth?"
He nodded his head once in acknowledgement and said, "Yup that's me. How would you like to become the water ninja?"
(Zane's POV)
It was almost dusk as I flew through the forest on Shards back. If I didn't find Taylor soon, then I would have to return without her. But, even though I was starting to feel discouraged, I kept on flying in hopes of finding her soon. Suddenly, as I neared a clearing in the woods, I noticed a teenager fishing in the river.
(Taylor's POV)
I sat at the dock at the riverbed and fished. It was just something to do to pass the time but the bob on the rod didn't budge at all for a while.
"Huh? I wonder where did the fish go?" I asked out loud.
Then I saw a different reflection in the water near me and I got startled. Being startled by the new reflection, I fell into the river with a shout.
"Sorry," the boy said," I didn't mean to scare you and neither did Shard."
He then helped me out of the water. I decided this would most likely be a good time to ask the question I wanted to ask him.
"Why are you here with your dragon? I kind of doubt you are here for a walk in the woods." That's when I noticed he was wearing a white ninja outfit.
(Zane's POV)
"Why are you here with your dragon? I kind of doubt you are here for a walk in the woods." said the girl as she examined me.
"I'm Zane and this is my dragon, Shard. We came looking for a girl named Taylor is that you?" I greeted her with a smile.
She raised an eyebrow and pointed an index finger at her chest. "You're looking for me? Why?" She asked.
"How would you like to become a ninja?" I asked her.
