Age 757
Jade flew downwards at a controlled pace, making sure that she was going down at a reasonable pace towards the first of her chosen three comrades. Her hair streamed behind her as she flew for what felt like hours. Eventually, though, she saw the lesser Tower of Korin finally emerge into her sight. Smiling to herself, she flew down and landed in the room of Korin's Tower.
"Hello there, young lady," greeted the cat guardian, who had just gotten done teaching the other human there how to levitate. Jade smiled, and waved at the other two for a moment as the boy who was levitating fell straight to the floor in surprise.
"Heya! My name's Jade, and I'm looking for someone named John." The boy that had fallen scrambled up to his feet, and pointed to himself as he glanced at Korin in a confused manner.
"You mean me? Uh, yeah! I'm John!" Jade smiled at him, and held out her hand towards him for him to take her hand. "What's going on?", he asked, unsure as to what exactly was happening. Jade simply smiled at him reassuringly.
"It's time for you to find your way, John. I'm here to help guide you to the next stage of your life, along with a couple other people about our age." John looked to Korin again, who nodded at him and gestured to Jade. With this affirmation, John smiled and took Jade's hand.
"Alright, let's go."
Dave grunted as he was sent to the ground yet again by the recoil of his Dodon Ray. He stood up with a growl of frustration, and point at the target again only to be stopped by Tien's hand on his arm. "That's enough, Dave. You'll just end up tuckering yourself out at this rate. Right now, we just need to focus on your physical abilities."
As Tien says this, two people descended from the sky, one looking rather calm while the other seemed bewildered to say the least. The girl stepped forward as she touched down, and extended a hand towards Tien. The taller, tri-eyed male was wary, however. "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Jade smiled, and pat John's back to ease him as she spoke. "My name's Jade, and this is John. We're looking for someone named Dave. Do you know him?" Tien's three eyes all widened for a brief moment, then returned to normal as Dave stepped forward.
Dave slipped his shades back into proper place before speaking. "What's up? What do ya need me for?" Tien furrowed his brow, he knew the consequences of leaving Shen. Dave, behind his shades, was desperate for a life of true peace. Not training to kill, but to fight for the enjoyment of fighting.
Tien saw this in Dave, and sighed as Jade spoke. "We need you to help find peace for this world, Dave." Dave looked to Tien from behind his shades, fear in his eyes… along with hope.
Tien couldn't deny that look. "Go on, Dave. I'll go find Chaiotzu and we'll come with you. We should do this while Shen isn't here, which would be now." Dave nodded, and took Jade's hand.
Rose went into the Dojo once more, and set her things down by the door as she went up to the Sensei. "Hello again, Sensei. Is there anything more you can teach me?" The woman would shake her head. "I see. Anywhere you can direct me to, so I may become better?"
"That would be with us, Rose!" A voice pierced the dojo as a girl and four boys walked in. "We've been looking for you! My name's Jade, and this is John," she'd gesture to each of her entourage, "Dave in the shades, Tien with the third eye, and the short one is Chaiotzu."
Rose was flabbergasted by the sudden entrance and introduction. "Why should I come with you, Jade? What am I getting out of it? More importantly, what's your goal?" Jade simply smiled, and gestured for Rose to follow.
"We want to save the world from itself, Rose. And you're an important part of that." Rose was startled by this, yet intrigued. Tien himself was unsure as to what that meant, even after travelling for a month with this strange girl. Indeed, neither Chaiotzu nor Dave did either. John was simply following Jade until his role in Kami's plan was given to him, yet also interested in the similarities of Jade to himself.
After a few moments, Rose spoke up. "Alright. I'll tag along for the time being. If this isn't what I think it is, I'm going to leave." With that, Rose bid her sensei adieu, and left with Jade and her entourage.
Thus began their adventures.
