Chapter 1: The test

"Uuhh!" grunted Rocky as he woke up catching a fake ninja star. "Ssshh," Grandpa warned as he sneaked over to the sleeping forms of the other two boys. He threw the ninja star at the older one, Colt who suddenly woke up catching it. He gave a triumphant smile.

Then for the youngest of the boys Grandpa pulled out a snickers bar and threw it. The boy TumTum immediately woke up at the sound and smell of candy and started eating away.

"What are we gonna do today grandpa?" asked Rocky. "Today you all will be tested," answered Grandpa.

They all smiled at this because they had been practicing their hardest this summer after their adventure with the madman Snyder last summer. "Now go take your showers then meet me at the porch with your ninja outfits," instructed Grandpa.

"Okay Grandpa," they replied in unison.

They all walked of to different bathrooms as they thought about what the test would be like.


The three brothers walked out into the sunlight after getting ready. The oldest one Rocky was the calm and collected one of the trio he had ashy blond hair and grayish green eyes.

The next one, Colt was a different person, his wild dirty blond hair showed his 'freedom' as he called it. He was the wild and reckless one of the group.

Then TumTum the youngest was the in between guy. He had dark brown hair cropped short. He was the cheeriest of them all and all he did revolved around food.

They all had on black clothes. Then Grandpa came out of the woods "Okay boys the test is for you to go through the woods following the trail I left. It will eventually lead you back here." They all nodded. "Here are your weapons," he said picking up a bag. He handed Rocky a bowstaff, Colt a sword and Tum twin sais (little swords).

Rocky had an excited look on his face as he twirled his bowstaff. Colt had an overconfident smirk on his face as he looked at the reflection of the sun on his sword. Tum had a twizler sticking out of his mouth as he twirled his sais. They all had the same thought in their minds 'this is gonna be good!'

"Ready… Set… Go!" Grandpa yelled. Colt sprinted out ahead being the fastest. "Remember to work together," Grandpa yelled after them.


Rocky knew something wasn't right as he ran after Colt who had suddenly stopped. Then he saw it on the side of the trail behind Colt. A Cobra and it was about to strike Colt! "COLT, LOOK OUT!" Yelled Rocky. Colt turned at the last second and flipped over the snake stabbing its head into the ground as he was in the air. He turned smiling at them in that over confident way.

"Why do you always do that? You're gonna get yourself killed someday…" Rocky lectured. "Yeah I know I'm gonna get my self killed everyday," Colt said shaking his head.

Tum came behind them. "Hey guys, I was eating I wasn't even rea… wow that's a big snake!" he exclaimed slacked jawed.

"Yep, I killed the sucker without breaking a sweat," Colt boasted with a huge smile on his face.

"Tum can you go scout ahead?" Rocky asked. "Sure," the younger boy replied. He ran through the woods and out of sight.

"What do you think is…?" Colts sentence was cut short as Tum ran back to them out of breath. He was bleeding! "Guys help me!" he called urgently then ran back into the woods.
