Hi I'm back,I had a slight writers block and school so this is later than I wanted it to read and review
DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING!
Chapter 4: Lesson
"Say what now?" asked Jay. Zane was in the middle of explaining a battle strategy that seemed utterly crazy to the rest of the ninja.
"I said that this technique focuses on three of your senses while the other two are dormant. This style of fighting blocks both your hearing and vision allowing you to use taste,smell,and more importantly,feel, to their fullest capabilities. For this exercise you will be in a position where you are both blind and deaf. Learn to fight feeling the vibrations of the earth,the smell carried by the wind,and the taste of the air. These three senses work in harmony when the other two are at bay. Once you learn to use these you could be in a silent room without light and still be able to know where you are,fight,and escape." said Zane
"But this seems really tricky and how did you learn it when you were only there for a week?" asked Kai
"Time moves differently with each world you dwell in. It was only a week here, but up there it was seven years that I had to perfect everything." said Zane
"So you left us for SEVEN YEARS!" exclaimed Jay
"A day here is a year there,and I believe for the underworld it is a different stretch of time" said Zane
"Well enough chit chat we need to train,this took a month for Zane to learn and we didn't have a time limit up there" said Dr Julien
"Indeed,now blindfolds and earmuffs on, we are going to start the lesson focus on the feeling of the ground first then hone the other senses,use your instincts" said Zane. Everyone complied and soon all the ninja were fighting blindly and deafly.
"This looks like it's going to be a disaster" groaned Zane as he watched his friends crash into each other,fall over, and try to stab with their foam swords.
"Hey just be glad you gave them toy weapons for this exercise,at least no one will get hurt,remember how you learned?" said Kai's father
"How could I forget,first try,I ended up crashing into one of the cloud pillars and tripping on my wings" said Zane rolling his eyes.
"Yeah,your dad got a kick out of that" said Kai's father laughing
"Well due to the circumstances I couldn't hear or see him laughing" said Zane
"OW" yelled Kai "WHO HIT ME? IT FELT LIKE A FIST AND NOT A FOAM SWORD!" there was no reply,not that Kai would be able to hear it if there was one.
"This is better than watching dareth trying to fight Kai" exclaimed Nya coming outside with a bucket of popcorn,she had just finished learning a new move with water (Her mother was annoyed at how little Wu had actually taught her) and had come out to watch the fun. Jay and Lloyd crashed into each other and fell over while Cole looked like he was starting to get the hang of it. He could feel where the others were and feel the vibrations of their shouting. 'taste the air,smell the wind,feel the ground' Cole repeated in his mind. Suddenly Cole felt a force coming at him and effortlessly dodged the attack,well it wasn't really an attack,it was more of a Kai running around like a headless chicken.
"I had a feeling Cole would get the hang of it first, his powers directly relate to the lesson and therefore make it easier" said Zane approvingly. Cole felt like he now had a whole other way of seeing,he could attack and dodge,even do spinjitzu without need of his eyes or ears. Then Zane froze everyone to the ground and to off their blindfolds and earmuffs. Kai had gotten tangled up with Lloyd in a, two person ,human knot. Jay had been in the middle of swapping them with his sword, and Cole was midway through doing spinjitzu.
"Well this is awkward" said Kai
"Tell me about it" said Lloyd.
"Alright you four we will try this again tomorrow" said Zane
"Who made you Sensei?" asked Kai. Zane glared and drew his sword
"Wu put me in charge of training you in the advanced level techniques,I intend for you to master at least two before we have to fight Phantom Crow" said Zane "Plus I'm general of the elite guard,so I have authority beyond mortal comprehension"
"Fine point taken. Now can you unfreeze us before we all get frostbite?" said Kai. Zane did so and the human knot untangled itself.
"After we master this skill, we will be heading to the wailing alps in order to listen to the voices that can't be heard unless all is quiet" said Znae heading inside
"Ok why do I suddenly have the urge to call Zane 'Sensei'?" asked Jay
"Because he is our teacher for these things" said Cole
"Yeah well look who's being teacher's pet." taunted Jay
"If you're implying that I'm being a suck up to Zane then you face will meet my fist" growled Cole
"ENOUGH" yelled Zane coming back out. "I don't want any bickering,that is what causes Crow to come earlier than he plans,he thrives on chaos"
"Sorry Zane" said the ninja in unison
"Good,now all of you come inside,it's getting late and the night is rather dangerous with Crow on the loose" said Zane. Everyone went inside for dinner and then went to bed, the next day was Wednesday so they had sunrise exercise.
