Meanwhile...it's time to check in on the Jade Palace masters and the Elemental Hazards!

Chapter 5: The Right Side of the Tracks

At the Jade Palace

Some of the kung-fu students were busy training at the training hall and Kaizer was doing his usual sparring session with Hope as he teaches him how to react in intense situations by fighting back and though Hope's much more focused, he's a little reluctant to head straight for the punching parts and Kaizer told him, "Hope, don't think. Just do. We've been over this at least three thousand times."

"I know it's important to fight, but don't you think it'll go too far?" asked Hope.

"Not if you want to protect the people you care about." Kaizer answered.

"Like Felicity?" asked Hope, with a sly smile.

Kaizer growled at that particular comment and he glared at Hope and responded, "We're getting off the subject."

"Sorry. Continue." Hope added, putting his paws up.

Meanwhile, Takami, Ryo and Skyler were having a sparring session of their own with Tigress supervising and as Takami gained a lot of strength in his fighting skills, he's gotten increasingly better and a bit more fierce than he's ever been while Ryo keeps his focus on Skyler as he comes up to spar with her, summoning his dark power to aim while Skyler dodges it with such grace.

Seeing Skyler's graceful moves both envied and captivated Ryo to the extent that he was almost distracted by what she's wearing and he didn't notice that he was being struck by lightning and he looked up and noticed that it was Skyler's lighting power that might've done the trick.

"Really, Sky? You had to shock my butt?!" Ryo asked, whimpering.

"That's what you get for looking at my outfit, pervie." Skyler said, with a smirk.

Ryo gets himself up and dusted himself off and he looked at Skyler again, but got stomped on the tail by Tigress, which made Ryo yelp in pain and he looked at Tigress and he said, "Seriously?! What is this, pick on Ryo day?"

"Skyler is right, Ryo. You should keep your focus on fighting back." Tigress stated.

Ryo rolled his eyes at that and he said, "When Skyler has this outfit on, my brain and some parts of me does all my thinking."

"Well, you better get yourself back to earth...otherwise some parts of you won't be there." Skyler stated, growling.

Suddenly, a giggle emerges and all of them turn around to see a female black wolf coming this way and she said, "Oh, Ryo...you're always so unpredictable."

"Hey, Luna." Ryo said.

Luna comes over to give Ryo a little hug and afterwards, Skyler was excited to see Luna again and she said, "Long time no see. What have you been up to?"

"Oh, not a lot. Just thought I'd come over and see how Ryo's doing and that he's keeping himself out of trouble." Luna replied.

"Ryo's fine. It's the keeping himself out of trouble that he's obviously lacking." Skyler responded, while looking at Ryo.

Ryo mocked everything Skyler just said and he said, "Don't blame me."

"Ryo...I think you need to calm your hormones down a little bit." Takami stated.

"Oh, real funny, T.K. You contain yourself when Layla's around, but I can't in front of Skyler?" asked Ryo.

Takami glared at Ryo for that comment and he asked, "Shouldn't you be at work or something?"

"Jeez, you're right! I'm almost late! I'm supposed to help Daisuke stack up some swords and other weapons today. I gotta get there before Musaki does!" Ryo exclaimed, before running out.

"What about your training?" asked Tigress.

"Later, Tigress. I've already been late for things like this before and the last thing I want is for Musaki to come beneath me." Ryo added.

After Ryo left, Takami rolled his eyes at this and on one hand, he's cool with the fact that he's got a job, but not so much when it almost interferes with training and he said, "What am I gonna do with Ryo?"

"I've got a few ideas." Skyler replied.

Stick around, because Luna's presence is the huge point in this story!
