"So then we all agree," Jay said. "The prophecy states that one of us will become the Green Ninja and the issue will not rest until it is decided." "May I suggest a tournament?" Zane asked. "Last man standing is the best." "And will be declared the Green Ninja!" Kai exclaimed. "I love it!" The boys pushed open the doors to the monastery and walked inside. Nya, Kai's sister, was busy running through the training court. She was doing great until she smacked into the flat side of an ax. "Hey, Nya," Jay greeted the girl shyly as he leaned over her, his hood sitting on his brown hair. "Closer to beating your brother's speed record?" He helped her up while she replied, "I'm getting there. Heard what happened in town. Just a false alarm?" Kai walked to them and said, "Yeah. Uh, but we're gonna need the space. Sorry, sis." Cole went to a closet on the side of the court and pulled out their kendo gear. He tossed each of the helmets to the others. Jay's helmet hit him on the side of his head. "Two matches," Cole declared. "Then, the winners of each face off for the title. Armor's for our own protection." He raised his golden scythe. "Time to see what these babies can do!" "Hey, Nya," Kai said to his sister when the ninjas were ready. "Wanna see me mop the floor with them?" "No thanks," she replied. "I think I'll just visit Jamonacai Village. Knock yourselves out." And with that, she left for the village. "You boys are crazy. I'm going with Nya. Hey Nya, wait up!" "Alright," Cole said. "First up, Kai versus Jay! Ninjaaaaa-Go!" The two bowed to each other, then began the fight. They both fought wonderfully, but in the end, it was Kai who won. "Next up," Kai announced, "Cole versus Zane! Ninjaaaaa-Go!" Like Kai and Jay, Cole and Zane were great during the fight. And yet, Cole was victorious. "For the prize and the title of best ninja," Jay said, bored. "Blah, blah, Ninja-Go." Kai and Cole began, their golden weapons clashing and clanging. Cole swiped at Kai's head, then back-flipped a few feet. He slammed his scythe into the ground, creating a crack that knocked Kai into a wooden training post. Kai became angry and swiftly got up. He began crazily spinning around. "It's too hot!" he cried, struggling with his sword. "It's burning," Zane said. "Fire!" Jay yelled. Kai spun around and around until he dropped his sword, which caught on fire. The fire spread around and trapped Kai in a circle of flames. Jay and Zane flipped over the small wall of fire. Cole hastily tried putting the fire out by clanging his scythe on the flames. Kai ran around inside the tiny circle while Sensei Wu appeared, throwing open the doors and running outside. He picked up Zane's shuriken of ice and threw them in the air. He concentrated and the shuriken came together. They started generating ice and snow and flew around the courtyard, putting out the fire. They even doused the flames blazing brightly on Jay's rear. Then, the shuriken spun back to the Sensei and he caught them. "What were you thinking?" Sensei Wu demanded. Zora was behind him and was snickering. "Uh," Jay began, "we were trying to figure who was the Green Ninja!" Zane whacked him sharply on his back. "Ow! Uh, did I say 'Green Ninja'? No, sorry." He cleared his throat. "What I... What I said was 'lean'- Ah..." Jayleen came outside and was laughing. "You're so weird Jay" Jayleen said. "Not funny!" Jay said to his sister. "You were not supposed to see this," Wu sighed. "But, Sensei," Kai said, "we wanna know. Which one of us is the chosen one?" "None of you!" Sensei Wu turned around. "If you do not unlock your full potential." "But, my sword, it was so bright!" Kai protested. "Is this what you meant by unlocking our Golden Weapons?" "You are only at the beginning," Sensei Wu said. "And the road is long and winding. But, yes. This is what I meant. If this is what it must take for you to train, then so be it. But none of you are near the level of what it takes to be the Green Ninja."
