Lincoln wakes up as the sun was beginning to rise he slowly opens his door and see that none of his sisters were awake he slowly makes his way towards the kitchen and makes a bowel of cereal as he eats he watches the sunrise through the kitchen window the rays of the sun coming over the horizon.

As he finishes the bowl he quietly places it in the sink and quietly makes his way out the front door gets on his bike and makes his way towards the woods. as he rides his bike he looks around to find it quiet and peaceful it is.

when Lincoln arrives at the entrance to the woods he could feel a cold presence there he had assumed that it must have been from what had happen yesterday. As he slowly walks into the forest he could as if multiple eyes were watching him as he continues to walk towards the house a throwing star passes his shoulder just barely missing him "what the!?" Lincoln said as he looked to see who throw it at him.

Just then three more are thrown at him Lincoln dodges them as he makes his way closer to the house. Just as he reaches the door 'PUNCH' Lincoln is hit on the side of his face and is sent flying off the porch of the house " Hey What's the big ide-" Lincoln couldn't finish his sentence because it wasn't Hanzo. In stead it was a women about five foot nine brown skin brown eyes black hair D size breasts she wore a black leather like leggings and bikini she had a mask covering her moth just a little bit above her nose she looked about late teens early twenties

" Uh hi I'm Lincoln" Lincoln said nervously as he blushed to the point he could be mistaken for a tomato " And you are?" Lincoln asked as her only for her to let out a battle cry and charge at Lincoln with a katana " AAAAHHHHH!" Lincoln screamed as he dodged her attack she grunted as she swung her sword at Lincoln only for him to dodge it as.

Finally growing of tired Lincoln dodging her attacks she punches him with her right fist that send him into a tree. " Ah " Was all that Lincoln could say as he got up he see the kunai and grabs it as he swings it at her she blocks it with her sword as she stared down Lincoln she could see the colors in his eyes start to fade and become pure white.

Letting out another battle cry she swings her sword at him only for him to block it with kunai the trade blows with the blades never landing a a hit until 'PUNCH!' Lincoln punches her on her right side the force of the punch send flying towards a blueberry bush that she lands on she gathers her strength and stands on her to feet and and prepares to fight Lincoln with her sword in her hands. Lincoln stares her down with the kunai in his hand there hands grip there blades tightly and soon the race towards each other at high speed. Just as they where about to clash.

" ENOUGH!" a loud voice commanded the two stopped and looked at the direction of the voice to see Hanzo standing there with a stern look on his face Lincoln and the girl stopped and looked at him the girl bowed before master Hanzo " Explain ?" He asked the two " Before Lincoln could answer.

" I apologize Master Hasashi " The girl said " I saw this stranger approaching the house and feared that he was an enemy so I attacked fear that he would expose us" The girl said as she looked at Hanzo. " You heart was in the right place Mara but you mind was not" Hanzo said to Mara. " Wait!" Lincoln shouted getting the two's attention " Hanzo you know her?" Lincoln asked him with a raised eyebrow.

This resulted in her bringing her sword close to his lips " You will speak to master Hasahi with respect or I will remove your tongue with my sword" Mara warned Lincoln this caused him to gulp in fear " ENOUGH MARA!" Hanzo warned her then turned his attention to Lincoln.

" This Mara her father was a member of the Lin Kuei so she was trained in there arts and unfortunately much like your mother her father was murdered by the hero known as mauler" Hanzo said as he looked at Mara who had a hurt looked on her face.

Lincoln could only look at her with sympathy knowing the truth of how his mother died he knew what she was going through " I'm sorry about your loss" Lincoln said and the quickly though of what she might do to him " Thank you Lincoln " Mara said to him " And I'am sorry about your mother even though she was a villian that had no honor she didn't deserve what happened to her" Mara said to Lincoln

" Uh Thank you " Lincoln said feeling a little insulted by what Mara said about his mother " Uh Hanzo no disrespect but why is she here I thought you were going to train me?" Lincoln asked Hanzo " I must ask the same question as well master Hasash? " Mara asked him.

Hanzo looked at the two with a warm smile " Mara" He said "your father taught you how to fight but it will not be enough to stand against the so called 'Hero's' so you must learn more fighting styles to beat them." Hanzo said to her then he turned his head towards Lincoln " Lincoln the Netherealm powers within you have only started to awake inside of you. That is why your training is important" Hanzo said to Lincoln.

" Yes master Hasashi " Lincoln said as he bowed. Hanzo nodded and looked at the two " Now you two must follow me we shall begin your training with meditation near a waterfall not far from here" Hanzo said to the two " Wait" Lincoln said causing the two to look at him " I thought you were going to train to control my powers and train me to fight?" Lincoln asked with a raised eyebrow.

Hanzo looked at Lincoln with a calm look on his face " Lincoln" Hanzo said to him " In order to master your powers you must force learn patience with out patience it will lead chaos and destruction " Hanzo said to him.

Lincoln looks at Hanzo as much as he wanted to dive into training and learn how to fight he knew he must wait patiently if he wad to master his powers. Hanzo places his hand on Lincoln's shoulder " I promise Lincoln with patience comes great reward " Hanzo said to Lincoln causing the only son of the Loud family to smile " Master Hasashi I suggest we make are way to the water fall to begin training before the sun sets" Mara said to Hanzo.

Hanzo nodded his head and soon the three began to walk towards the waterfall.

One Hour later

The trio made it to the waterfall it was beautiful sight a clear blue waterfall with a green pasture surrounding it with the sounds of nature birds chirping " Follow Me" Hanzo said to the two. Mara and Lincoln follow through the water fall to there surprise was a cave entrance inside the cave were pools of clear blue water.

" Uh are we going to swim?" Lincoln asked with a raised " Hanzo chuckled a little at Lincolns question " No Lincoln these pools of water contain a special connection with spiritual energy meditating here will help you face your inner demons as well as your past" Hanzo said As the sat down on the ground in a triangle formation.

The three take deep breath's and close there eyes.
