Kimiko's POV
I was eating breakfast, with the guys, when Kera came in with a look of fear, anxiousness, and stress on her face. Before anyone could ask 'What's up?' or what I was going to ask 'How was your date with Clay?' she said really fast: "Ohmygod! Youguyswon'tbelievewhathappenedfirstIwas-"
"Calm down." Clay told her quietly. Kera took in a few deep breaths before she started again. Kera told us that she had this weird dream, with Hannibal Bean in it.
"… and then I woke up and found this ring on my hand!" she shouted, showing us her hand with 'The Seven Deadly Sins Ring' on her ring finger,glowing bright green. She was obviously freaking out. Kera tried pulling it off but it wouldn't budge.
"Whatever." She muttered with a defeated expression as she served herself some of the pancakes that were on the table.
"So do you feel any different?" Omi asked curiously.
"Not really I feel fine," She replied as she stuffed some pancake into her mouth, "You know whoever made these is a really good cook. I wish I could be a good cook." As soon as she said that, Kera's skin turned a grassy green color and the ring started glowing brighter. I'm guessing that she was experiencing extreme envy but then why was she green? It was really creepy.
"Do you feel unwell, Kera?" Omi asked when he noticed her sudden change in skin color.
"No, I'm fine really." She insisted glaring at Omi. She must be really pissed about the ring. Kera never mad that easily; she just came up with a good comeback. She looked back down at her pancakes, when she noticed that her hands were green.
"What the fuck?!" she asked completely shocked. She rushed into the nearest bath room.
"Wait for it." I whispered. First, there was silence. Then, there was a loud, bloodcurdling scream that echoed through this part of the temple.
"OHMYGOD! I'm turning into Elphaba!" she yelled right after she screamed.
Kera walked back into the dinning room and sat down in her chair,with a blank look on her face but it was tough to read any expression on her face because of her being, well, green.
"I'm green aren't I?" she asked in an emotionless tone staring off into space.
"Yep." Rai confirmed looking worried, we were all worried; it's not everyday that someone turns green. Kera simply nodded in response. Dojo slithered in quickly, followed by Master Fung.
"Hey, is everybody all right? We heard a-" Dojo stopped when he saw Kera. Master Fung was staring at her hand with the ring on it. He pulled out the Wu scroll and turned to 'The Seven Deadly Sins Ring' page and started reading.
"Why are you," Dojo paused, "well, green?"
"Good question." Kera replied with a smirk.
"I believe it is the work of 'The Seven Deadly Sins Ring'," Master Fung explained looking up from the scroll, "The ring has brought out envy in Kera causing her to be uncontrollably envious."
"And turning her green." Rai added.
"Precisely." Master Fung stated.
"So how do I stop being 'uncontrollably envious'?" Kera asked getting a little impatient.
"You must overcome your jealousy and under confidence," Master Fung explained, "only then will the ring deactivate."
"And you'll stop being green." Rai added again smiling smugly. Kera started nodding, slowly and then smiled for the first time that day.
"I can do it," she said confidently.
"But beware," Master Fung warned, "It will be a difficult task. If you are taken over by envy, you will not be able to do or think anything, without being envious." Just as easily as her confidence came, it left.
"I can't do it," she said sadly.
"I have complete confidence in you, Kera." He told her, while smiling encouragingly.
"So, how did the ring get on your finger?" Dojo asked. So Kera, explained her story all over again. Master Fung simply nodded when she finished.
"I believe this is the work of Hannibal Bean," Master Fung explained, "he was the one who invaded your dreams and activated the ring. But we will worry about this later for it is time for training." We all nodded and put our dishes in the sink. The boys all ran out first, but Kera stayed behind for a second and let out a sigh. I walked over to her and gave her a hug. She was like my sister, so it made me sad to see her sad.
"So how was your date?" I asked trying to cheer her up, which it seemed to do.
Dinner…
Kera's POV
By the end of the day, I wasn't as upset at being green as I was early. I tried to make by situation funny, by singing "It's Not Easy Being Green". It seemed to work! I already looked, less green. I guess it wasn't as bad as Master Fung made it seem. I was still alittle confused why I was green, I never was really that envious. Everybody was really nice today, especially Clay. Right after breakfast he whispered: "I reckon you could get greener then grass and I'll still love you." Isn't he soooo sweet!
"We gotta hot one!" Dojo yelled as he slithered in with the scroll. "It's called 'Dream Catcher'. It allows the user to discover one of their enemies' dreams but only one. I think it's up north so dress warmly."
I was looking threw my closet, when I realized I don't have anything that matches green, but black! Ugh! So I wore knee high black boots with a skinny one-inch heals with skinny dark-wash jeans tucked in. I also had cute black Nike sweater with a hood.
When I got on Dojo I said to Kim: "Now I know why Elphaba always wears black, nothing matches green!"
"True." She replied and then she went back to whispering something to Rai that made him smile.
I guess Clay told Omi about Wicked because he asked me lots about it. I happily talked non-stop about it and let him listen to some of the songs on my iPod. He seemed to love it too even though it was very foreign to him. Dojo finally landed in a small town on a snowy mountain. Almost immediately I heard the familiar sound of a helicopter. I turned my head and saw Jack Spicer with his robots. I also saw a white, black, and red bird carrying, was it a bean? Yes it was that bean that turned me green! I could tell I was getting mad from just looking at him.
"Look the broccoli's steamed!" Jack laughed pointing at me. He is so going down!
We were about to kick their butts when Hannibal held up an arm and said: "I think y'all should know that an avalanche will be destroying this town in a few minutes, killing anyone in those caves up there." He pointed at the top of the mountain, where we could see movement. Dojo immediately, changed and flew us up there. Hannibal was right, there was a huge avalanche tumbling down towards us. In a small cave a head we saw a figure standing at the entrance, yelling "Help!"
"Wudai Orion Formation!" they all shouted turning black with an outline of red, white, blue, or green. Rai flew ahead, and flew the girl back to where we were standing.
"Wudai Mars Fire!" Kim shouted fire shooting out from her hands melting the snow.
"Wudai Creator Earth!" Clay shouted creating a big gap in the ground to slow it down.
"Wudai Neptune Ice!" Omi shouted making the snow at his feet create a big wall of ice blocking the snow.
I just stood there, dumbly, in awe of what my friends did. They just stopped a huge avalanche! I turned around to Rai and the girl he saved who passed out. She had blonde hair; I couldn't tell what color her eyes were because they were closed. She was wearing a torn, ragged pink, dress that only a peasant would wear. She had a seashell necklace around her neck that looked vaguely familiar.
"If only I was as beautiful as her." I heard a sad, envious voice in my head say.
"I am as beautiful as her!" A voice argued.
I looked as my hands and saw them get greener then lighter again. That was close! The girl moved waking up. Her eyes opened slowly staring straight into Rai eyes. She had green eyes just like Glinda's. She did look a lot like Glinda…
"You," she started smiling at Rai brushing the back of her hand across his cheek, "you risked your life to save mine. I am internally grateful." She then leaned in and kissed him, on the lips!
Oh, no! Poor Kera and Kim! Hope you liked this chapter! R&R to find out what happens…
