A/N: Hello! Hmm, things are getting interesting. Time for a lunch break and checking out the gang's afterschool activities…

Chapter Ten: Lunch at a Human Filled School…with some Dragonoids…
Jay fumbled with his lock combination, desperate to open his locker before Mark noticed him. A sigh of relief escaped him as the locker opened without any problems... only to suddenly slam shut as Mark slammed the door shut on him, sneering as he peered down at the shorter boy. "Well, well. What have we here? If it ain't the world's shortest nerd."
"Technically ain't isn't a word…at all." Jay mumbled as he took an involuntary step back, glancing around the place for Mr. Borg.
"Mr. Borg is in a meeting. He can't come to your rescue right now." Mark smirked as he stepped between Jay and his locker.
Jay gulped as he felt his arms being grabbed from behind him and pulled back. Mark cracked his knuckles as he grinned, already looking forward to beating the smaller boy up. Just as he went to punch Jay, a sudden familiar muscular form stepped between the two of them. "Excuse me…but that's my locker that you're standing in front of and I rather would like to get to my lunch. Isn't that right guys?" Cole casually titled his head to the others.
Kai and Nya both flexed their arms, allowing the bullies to see the tight muscles that they both had from working out every day. Zane stood calmly, not doing anything to draw attention to himself. Not that he needed to, being several inches taller than Mark already.
Mark paled slightly as he looked at the not so easily picked on new kids, before glancing at Jay. Jay wasn't too sure on what to do, so he picked casually saying hello. "Hey guys, what's up?"
"I believe the ceiling is up." Zane calmly stated, glancing upwards to look at the ceiling.
Jay rolled his eyes alongside the others, knowing that Zane despite being the smartest being alive about, he took things far too seriously and didn't catch on to normal slang very well. Kai coughed into his fist, in a poor attempt to cover up a laugh. Cole gently nudged Mark out of the way, of course seeing as he was considered strong for a Dragonoid, so he immediately went tumbling to the ground. "Hey, Jay? How about you join us for lunch?"
"Sure." Jay wiggled out of their grasps, quickly grabbing his lunch box out of the locker. His friends crowded around him, acting like a human shield against the bullies.
…
"How often do they bother you, dude?" Cole demanded as he fumbled with his lunch sack.
Jay shrugged as he flopped down onto the worn picnic table's bench. "I've gotten used to it."
"That is not an answer." Zane sat down next to Jay, Kai slipping in on the other side, conveniently boxing Jay in.
"It is too." Jay mumbled as he slumped down a little.
Nya rolled her eyes as she pulled an apple out of her bag. "Jay… that is not ok."
P.I.X.A.L. suddenly appeared, dropping her lunch tray down next to Zane. "What are you guys talking about here? And, what are your new friends' names here Jay?"
"Hi P.I.X.A.L. This is Zane, Cole, Kai, and Nya. Guys, this is my oldest friend, and until recently only friend, P.I.X.A.L. Borg." Jay suddenly worried about how everyone would react to her. Not only was she naturally very pretty, she also was extremely smart and could be a college professor by now...if she hadn't turned down all of the scholarships, insisting that she needed to stay with her age group.
Zane blushed as he said hello, a tiny smile on his face. "We were just discussing the whole it seems to be that Jay has some bullies here."
P.I.X.A.L. sighed, looking to Jay. "Really? Again? Jay, my offer still stands you know."
Jay quickly shook his head fiercely. "I am not going to get Mr. Borg involved. I am sure Mark will get tired of picking on me eventually."
"We're talking about now! Not eventually." All of his friends snapped in unison.
Jay flinched as he ducked his head, startled on how much his new and old friends wanted to stick up for him.
….
Jay tore through the woods laughing as he followed the others to the trailer to test Nya's new supersuits. Supersuits that she was still determined that no one touches. Entering the clearing, Jay wasn't surprised to see that Nya was already there waiting for them. She had already changed into the maroon and sea-blue shirt with the water dragon printed on it. The faux brown leather pulled over the top. She was holding the other outfits, a gold and red bracelet on her wrist. "Here, I may of decided that we should color code the outfits via power assorted with them…and personality wise." She walked over and handed Kai the red shirt with the fire breathing dragon. "Kai, your stubborn and have a bit of a short fuse. You have the red shirt and it comes with the fire capacities. That includes immunity to fire, ability to throw fireballs…etc." Nya handed the brown outfit to Cole. "Cole, from what I've seen, you're pretty rock solid. Nothing fazes you easily and you're loyal to your friends. So, you get the brown and black outfits. This gives you capacities over earth. A side effect over the ability to create earthquakes is superstrength…I think. Not entirely sure." Picking up the white outfit, she handed it to Zane. "Zane, for you I decided on the white uniform. It gives you ice powers, since you are pretty much unassuming and a great friend to have around doing tough times." She then handed the electric blue one to Jay. "Sorry…all that is left is the blue outfit which has the lightning capabilities."
"It's fine. Let's go change into them." Jay nodded to Zane, who responded by opening up the trailer.
….
Jay tugged at the sleeve of the jacket, amazed that it fit him so well. For some unknown reason, Nya had included a brand new electric blue wristwatch. An electric blue wristwatch that was ahead of its time. The face of the watch was one of those newfangled touch screen ones, with a small mic in it to use voice command as well as connect to one's phone. All of that was swell; and with the times… the thing that wasn't with the times was the whole the second he wondered how warm it was outside, it responded by telling him that it was exactly seventy-five degrees.
Kai walked past Jay, lifting his new watch, which was a vibrant red version of Jay's up for all to see. "What's up with the watches sis?"
Nya glanced up briefly, before turning back to her clipboard. "Oh? Those? They're just an old experiment of mine that I had reconfigured for this. Basically this is still our civilian forms… all you have to do you is either think about transforming…or mention it out loud. We also have a small button near the power button to trigger transformations. By the way. We are starting with those first. Who wants to go first?"
Silence fell as they glanced nervously to each other. After several minutes ticked by, quite literally according to their new watches, Zane stepped forward. Immediately, a bright light surrounded him. When it fell away, Zane was dressed in a white ninja gi, with gold armor plates on his shoulders and forehead. Daggers and shruikens poked out from sheaths that dangled around his waist, back, and on his legs. Impressed, Nya marked something before calling out next. Excited, Jay stepped forward. They really were going to do this.
A/N: Done! Hey look, they're starting to go all ninja on us. How nice of them. By the way, P.I.X.A.L. might be joining them as tech support later on. I'm considering it.
