Zane followed Jay and the sensei to the monastery, eyes wide. "This is where you live? Wow…"

Wu smiled. "I'm glad you like it, Zane."

Jay practically flopped down on the lower mattress of a bunk bed that nearly touched the ceiling. Zane clambered up onto the top bunk, peering down at the floor. The lightning master smiled up at him, blocking his view. "Hi."

Zane yelped in surprise, falling onto his back. Jay swung up onto his bunk, grinning. "I don't think we've been properly introduced...The name's Jay. Jay Walker. I'm the master of lightning, but I also do a little inventing, a dash of cooking, a touch of poetry-"

Zane blinked. "Do you always talk this much?"

Jay shrugged. "I like to talk!"

Zane gulped. "Well, Mr. Walker, I'm Z-"

Jay laughed. "You are too cute! Just 'Jay' is fine, ya know."

Zane's eyes widened. "My apologies! I meant no-"

"You are a strange one, aren't you? Zane, we're friends now, aren't we?"

Zane looked into the electrifying blue eyes of the red-head opposite him. "It's just that...you're older than me…"

Jay rolled his eyes. "I'm only fifteen...you're what, ten? Eleven?"

"Eight."

That got Jay's attention. "Only eight? That's...wow, you look older than that. That's not a huge difference…"

Wu called for them from down the hall. "Jay! Zane! Could you come here for a moment?"

Zane looked at Jay. "What…"

Jay shrugged. "Must be serious…" He grabbed a sword off the wall, quietly tiptoeing down the hallway.

Wu glanced at the approaching Jay, sword in hand. "Jay? Why do you have a katana?"

Jay looked at the sword, blushing. "I figured you might be in trouble…"

A stranger stood next to Sensei Wu, his tall figure menacing. Jay gulped. "Um… hi?"

"Jay, Zane, this is your new teammate, Kai. He is the master of fire."

Zane shyly smiled. "It is a pleasure, Mr. Kai."

Kai removed his hood, his brown hair sticking up in many directions. His hazel eyes sparkled. "You must be Zane, I'm assuming?"

Zane nodded. "Yes, sir."

He chuckled. "Just Kai is fine."

Zane dipped his head in acknowledgement. "Okay, Kai."

Wu cleared his throat. "I expect you'll be a bit better acquainted by tomorrow's lesson. Dismissed."

Nya sat in the dormitory, bouncing a rubber ball off the rocky walls back to her hand. "I'm bored…"

Skylor huffed. "No surprise there, Phoenix Girl."

Camille looked around the room. Five beds were splayed neatly against one wall, wide spaces between them. Above each of their beds was a certain item or items that represented each of their personalities. Nya's had phoenix feathers in a fan, Seliel's had boy band posters (of course I'm being too OOC, bah who cares) of Imagine Dragons and the Dragon Sparkz (heh long story...I might be re-writing that too…). Skylor had a snake skin and multiple swords, each sharpened to a point. Toxikita was putting up radioactive signs and science kits on a shelf. Camille sighed, sitting down. Her section of wall featured horses, from horse posters to horse-themed books. A stuffed horse sat on top of her comforter, Skylor looking over at it. "What the hell is that?"

Camille shrugged. "I like horses…"

Skylor sniffed. "You have a lot of work to do...Do you know what our main goal is? Killing. We don't have time for...horses, unless we're undercover and riding on them. Got it?"

Camille gulped. "Y-yes."

Seliel rolled her eyes. "Ignore Skylor...She's just pissed because her father's a-"

"SHUT UP!" Skylor's eyes were filled with hatred, her hand gripped firmly on her sword. She huffed, sitting back down on her bed. "Keep your distance if you know what's good for you."

Toxikita yawned. "Shouldn't we be getting to sleep?"

Nya laughed. "Sleep? We don't need sleep unless we have training tomor- Oh, yeah...you're right. 'Night, everyone…"

"Goodnight," Camille, Toxikita, and Seliel chorused.

Skylor sat on her bed, sharpening her sword. The swish of the metal against a smooth stone kept everyone awake, Seliel sleepily throwing a pillow in Skylor's direction. "Go to bed…"

Skylor huffed, replacing the sword on the wall. Her head hit the pillow, a small gust of air puffing from it.

The sound of rapping on the door woke the girls up with a start, the door swinging open. "Everyone up! Training starts early today…"

They all groaned, rubbing their eyes. "Really?!"

Skylor covered her face with her pillow. "What the hell..."

Lady Garmadon frowned. "We have field training today, and the ninja won't be up yet. Let's go."

Seliel motioned to Nya, Nya taking out her crossbow. Lady Garmadon watched them from the underworld, only her shadow remaining on the surface. "First step in making a good offense, have a form of defense. If I know my brother-in-law, he will strive for a good defense. We must take his strength and turn it into a weakness."

Skylor had chosen to be by herself, while Nya and Seliel were a team, and Camille and Toxikita were a team. The purple-and-green haired girls shivered in fear, not having much experience in fighting. Lady Garmadon had supplied them with a katana and a bow.

Nya shot an explosive arrow in their direction, Camille and Toxikita ducking. Toxikita looked up at Lady Garmadon. "What if she hurts us?"

Lady Garmadon shrugged. "Don't let her."

Camille whispered in Toxikita's ear, Toxikita grinning. "Sounds like a plan." They split up, ducking for cover.

Nya and Seliel looked at each other, nodding. They split up as well, hunting down the other inexperienced warriors.

"Nya!"

Seliel came running to the raven-haired samurai. "I found one of them," she whispered.

Nya grinned. "Lead me to them…"

Toxikita grinned. "You found us! Congrats…" She motioned to Seliel, who clapped a hand around Nya's mouth.

Nya struggled against her grip, looking up into Camille's eyes. Camille grinned. "You were fooled…" She tied her hands, dragging her next to the real Seliel, who was also gagged and tied.

Skylor watched for the others, swords in hand. Toxikita grinned, releasing a green cloud of knockout gas from her fingertips. Skylor inhaled, falling to the ground.

Lady Garmadon grinned. "Well done, you two…" She stood in front of them. "Now, face me."

Camille gulped. "We're fighting you?!"

Toxikita's eyes widened, a squeak of fear escaping her mouth.

Camille studied Lady Garmadon, letting her power surround her form. Next thing you know, there were two Lady Garmadons. A grin appeared on one of their faces. "Well done, Camille. I'm impressed. Now, back to the underworld, all of you…"

Toxikita grinned. "Way to go, Cami!"

Camille smiled. "High-five, Tox!" Their hands clapped together, echoing off the walls surrounding them.

Jay, Kai, and Zane stood in a semi-circle, swords in hand. Wu nodded, signaling to begin. They had been training in sword-fighting earlier that day, practicing their routines. Kai stood in a stance adopted from the samurai, the warriors that once protected his village… and his sister. A scar was still prominent from the day he lost her.

I decided to split this chapter. Don't hate me.
