"Alright," Master Fung said calmly.

The warriors were playing a ridiculous game of monkey in the middle. Jack Spicer was always the monkey.

"Jack," Master Fung growled, "Now that you are an Apprentice, the real training must begin."

"Oh," Jack sighed.

With a screech, Jack was human again.

"Your main attack is called the Shadow Eclipse."

"Sounds cool!" Jack said, looking back at his Mater Monk companions, "Teach me."

"I'm afraid the others must go to train elsewhere."

Master Fung's words were met with a series of disgruntled moans.

"Better not be better than mine. I mean, I am the leader…" Rai mumbled.

"Rai!" Kimiko hissed.

Once the other warriors were gone, Master Fung sat down on the grass; Jack sat across from him.

"Your move will allow you to become someone's shadow. You will move with them until the opportune moment to strike arises."

"Sounds great. Now, how do I do this?"

"Concentrate. Let all of your body fall into a uniform state of calm. Now, open your eyes and observe my shape. Do not see it as me, but merely an abstract form for you to mimic."

"Alright."

Jack closed his eyes. His limbs went limb and his mind fell into darkness. He became afraid at how calm he had become. His eyes shot open and instantly, he was a dark form on the grass at Master Fung's side.

"That's good, Jack. But this shadow is your own. You must become mine."

"This is a lot harder than it looks," Jack mumbled as he returned to normal.

"Now, try again. This time, remain in control."

Jack sat in silence for quite a while. With all his neurotic defects and ADD, this concentration stuff was the bane of his existence. He was getting better at it though. A little too good for his own taste. He could almost literally reduce his composure to a near jelly-like state… But that only happened when he wasn't paying attention. He was paying attention now. In his mind, he outlined Master Fung's form. He saw every curve. Then, he opened his eyes and almost immediately compensated for the sun's angle. With a new image in his mind Jack looked at Master Fung and closed his eyes. His body darkened and stretched out across the ground. He allowed himself to shift with the sun. After all was said and done, Master Fung had a second shadow lying on top of his real one.

"Very good, Jack. You just need to speed it up a bit so that no one can see what you are doing."

"Sure thing," the shadow spoke, "Now that I know what I'm doing."

Jack reformed into his own shadow and then returned to being solid.

"Excellent," Master Fung complimented, "Now go and join the others in their training."

"Yes, Master Fung."

Jack stood up, bowed slightly, and walked off to meet the others.

A/N: No, sorry, I don't read minds. ButI guess great minds do think alike!
