The next morning was pretty normal for a change. No vampire attacks, no evil schemes being tried out, and no uncovering dark plans. It was a normal day altogether, besides Kai and Flare 's rivalry.
When Kai woke up, he came face-first into a pie that Flare prepared and set, so that when Kai would sit up, the pie would be flung into his face. The other guys were to laughing, while Flare was seen by Kai near the front of the bedroom door, giggling. Of course, Kai wouldn't let her get away with that so easily.
Later, after breakfast, the ninja went on deck. However, when Flare walked on deck, she ended up getting soaked by a bucket full of water, that Kai poured on her from above the entranceway. She looked up at Kai, as he laughed his head off at her angered expression, and the others on the deck were trying to hold in their laughs. Flare went back into the Bounty to get dried off in her room, and to change into her spare clothes. 'Oh, it's on now Kai!' Flare thought while she traveled back on deck to train with the others.
Duting training, Raven was able to best Kai and Cole pretty easily, since she was able to weaken their attacks or extinquish them with her own water attacks. However, Jay wasn't so easy, since he used lightening and the water conducted his electrical attacks, which could've harmed Raven if she tried to surf on the water. However, Raven was able to control her water from a distance and, while her water was charged with Jay's lightening, she was able to use it to deal even heavier damage on Jay, and eventually defeat him.
At the end of the battle, some electrified water was still on the floor, and Flare pushed Kai into it, which ended up shocking Kai and starching his clothes. Everyone started to laugh, as Kai struggled to get into the Bounty with his stiff clothes, while glaring at Flare at the same time.
Flare was also able to fight Cole, Jay, and Zane. She was able to best Jay and Zane pretty easily, however, Cole was pretty difficult to defeat. However, Flare was able to outsmart Cole twice, which ended the fight with Flare holding her scimitars in an 'X' position near Cole's neck with a smirk. Cole gulped in nervousness.
After Raven and Flare sparred with the four ninja, their last test of their abilities was fighting with Lloyd. Flare went first.
"Alright boy," Flare said, with a smirk and continued, "Show me why they call you the 'Master of Spinjitzu'."
Lloyd also smirked, as he and Flare put on their ninja hoods and stood in fighting stances. Flare's hood was like the ninja's, but the armor on the forehead was actually like a mask just around the eyes.
"Begin," Sensei Wu said, and took a sip of tea.
Flare attacked first with two strikes of light and dark energy, in slashes, in Lloyd's direction. Lloyd was able to dodge the attack by jumping over it, and then he shot fire in Flare's direction. Flare was able to dodge the attack, and then she ran up to Lloyd and tried to attack him. Lloyd dodged Flare's attacks, and then he tried to attack with a lightening bolt, which Flare blocked herself against with her black scimitar, as she slid back a little. Then Flare fused her scimitars together as one large blade. She ran to the large center pole of the Bounty, jumped on it, and pushed herself off of it, as she slashed her scimitar-blade at Lloyd. Lloyd just barely dodged the K.O. move, and he kicked Flare at her side. Flare did a cart wheel and was able to land on her feet while separating her swords and holding both in each hand. Then Lloyd started running in Flare's direction, and she jumped back, crossed her arms across her chest and slashed her swords letting out two large energy slashes of black and white in an 'X' form. Lloyd saw this and he said, "Ninja GO!" He used his spinjitzu on the energy slashes which made the energy slashes spin along with him. Flare was surprised by this, and then she went flying back when Lloyd stopped spinning and was able to redirect Flare's attack right back at her. Everyone was amazed, especially Flare. She stood on one knee, as Lloyd stood right in front of her and extended his hand. Flare looked at Lloyd's hand, but she picked herself up, so Lloyd put his hand back at his side.
"I can see why your the Golden Spinjitzu Master," Flare said as she removed her hood and bowed her head to Lloyd.
Then Lloyd removed his ninja hood and said, "I can see why your the Fire Princess of the Volcanic Kingdom." Flare smirked when she heard him refer to her as 'Fire Princess'.
"That I am," Flare replied, and then she added, "But, can you defeat the Water Princess of the Viporeons?"
Flare looked towards Raven as well as Lloyd, and Raven smirked in a 'I'm ready to fight' smirk.
Lloyd and Raven stood in fighting positions with their ninja hoods on, Raven's hood being similar to Flare's. After Sensei said "Begin," the two took a moment to have a stare down. Then Raven circled her staff like a windmill in one hand, and then she grabbed her staff with both hands and jumped up while she spinned around three times. The water from her staff made a circular flow of water moving upward, as Raven ascended higher with the jump. Then Raven jumped up at the top of the water spiral and surfed on it downward, gaining momentum, as the water she passed by followed her same direction in a line. When Raven made it to the bottom of the water stream, she went surfing straight towards Lloyd's direction with great speed. Lloyd stood his ground ready to attack or dodge, but then Raven turned to her right and started to circle around Lloyd with the water stream that followed her, trapping him in one area on the deck. Everyone looked on in amazement, as Kai finally returned with normal clothes and also stared in awe. Raven went up in the air, separating herself from the water spiral, and she charged downward at Lloyd with her water staff. Lloyd's hands glowed gold and green, as he braced himself for the impact of the attack. Then Raven's attack clashed with Lloyd's hands, as he held onto the water staff, while Raven tried to add more pressure to her attack.
After a moment of struggling, Raven flipped back and landed on her feet. Lloyd stood in a fighting position, and Raven ran to the beginning of the water spiral and went surfing upward as Lloyd did the same, yet he used ice as his way of surfing up the water stream. Raven and Lloyd continued moving up the water spiral, until they made it to the end. Raven jumped up while spinning in the air, as Lloyd also jumped up towards Raven. However, Raven charged her water staff while spinning in the air, and then she turned and sent a wave of water in Lloyd's direction, as she descended from her mid-flight. Lloyd saw this, but he wasn't able to dodge, so he blocked and let the water hit him, as he descended downward. Everyone gasped, but then they were relieved when Lloyd did a back flip and landed safely on deck. Raven also landed safely with her water, and then Lloyd and Raven stared at each other for a moment before charging towards each other at the same time. Raven and Lloyd moved to their rights at the same time, and then they both jumped to their lefts and spinned once towards each other, both with charged up right hands, one of golden-green energy and the other of water, and clashed, which left them struggling to gain control for a moment in mid-air.
Then Lloyd used his other hand to grab Raven's wrist, which surprised her, as Lloyd said, "Ninja GO!" He used his spinjitzu while holding Raven's arm, and then he released her which sent her flying and unto the floor, her staff not too far off. Raven was dizzy for a moment, but then she came to as she sat up. Lloyd stood in front of her, as he held onto her staff in one hand.
He extended his other hand to Raven while saying, "Are you okay?"
Raven looked at Lloyd in surprise, and then she smiled, as she took Lloyd's hand and stood up.
"I'm fine," Raven said.
Then Raven removed her hood and said, "Your incredible."
Lloyd removed his hood and handed Raven her staff while saying, "You are too."
Raven and Lloyd exchanged a smile, and they looked towards the others who were completely speechless.
Sensei Wu spoke up, "That was-"
But he was cut off when Jay called out, "Awesome!" with his arms in the air.
Raven and Lloyd walked up to the others, but they didn't have to walk any further since the ninja ran up to them. "You guys are amazing!" -Jay
"I've never seen a fight like that." -Kai
"Your performance was most astounding." -Zane
"My eyes are bewildered by the grace and epicness you two displayed." Flare
"That was awesome!" -Nya
"That was cool!" -Cole
Lloyd rubbed the back of his head and Raven looked to the side, both a little embarrassed with smiles on their faces. The older people stood up, as they watched Lloyd and Raven thank their friends for their complements.
"They're both really amazing aren't they?" Garmadon said.
"Yes, they're both masters of their elements," Misako said.
Then Dr. Julien said, "Imagine if Raven knew spinjitzu, and Flare as well. They would both be even more exemplary then they are now. Of course, even if they faced off against Lloyd with spinjitzu, that would be much more of a challenge for him."
Sensei Wu stroked his beard-mustache, and then he walked towards the ninja.
"Well, this has been a very interesting turn of events. I believe we have two very skilled fighters here. Flare and Raven, how would you two like to learn spinjitzu?" Sensei Wu asked.
Raven and Flare looked at each other thinking about it, while Cole nugged Kai in the stomach before he protested against Flare learning spinjitzu.
"Hey, how come you never asked if I wanted to learn Spinjitzu?" Nya asked.
"You never asked, Nya, and I believe you forged your own destiny by becoming a Samurai. Also, you already know Spinjitzu don't you?" Sensei Wu said, as Nya smiled and nodded.
Raven and Flare nodded at one another, and they stood before Sensei Wu.
Flare said, as they both bowed, "We would be honored to learn the ways of spinjitzu, old ma- Sensei Wu."
Sensei nodded and said, "Alright, you girls shall be addressed as 'Kunoichi,' female ninja. Your official training on spinjitzu will begin tomorrow. For now, you'll all have the rest of the day off."
The five ninja signed in relief. After a few minutes, everyone went to enter the Bounty to do what they wanted to do for the rest of the day. However, Sensei Wu told Raven that he wanted to speak to her alone.
Everyone went inside the Bounty, leaving Raven and Sensei alone on deck, as the Bounty flew across the sky. Sensei Wu was looking out at the view, and Raven was also looking out, waiting for him to speak.
Then Sensei Wu signed, turned towards Raven, and said, "I had a vision a few days ago. You were in it, and so was Lloyd, but I don't want to tell him about it just yet. I don't want him to get worried."
Raven turned towards Sensei Wu with a serious, but worried expression on her face, as she nodded for Sensei Wu to continue speaking.
Then Sensei signed again and said, "I saw a candle lit in the center of a room. It was very small, but then it started to grow bigger and brighter. Then I saw you and Lloyd dancing together with a spot light just on you two. After that, I saw you backed up against a wall as a darkness was creeping towards you, and you were screaming out,"Stay away from me." The last part of my vision was of you laying on the floor, unconscience, and Lloyd stood in front of you, trying to protect you from a hooded figure surrounded by darkness. The hooded figure pulled out an orb that looked like the Viporeon pearl, but the pearl was a pale purple and it wasn't glowing as it does."
Raven was too disturbed and surprised by the vision to utter a sound. After the last part of the vision was told, Raven pulled out the Viporeon pearl from her pocket in all it's glowing brilliance. Raven looked at the pearl for a while.
Then Sensei said, "Raven, does this vision mean anything to you?"
Raven thought about it for a while, and then she said, "I don't know what the vision means. The only part that stands out to me is the Viporeon pearl and the darkness coming for me. I mean, Big Boss is still after me so the darkness makes sense. The fire in the room I don't know, and Lloyd and me dancing, well, I do like dancing, but I don't know what that has to do with anything, but the Viporeon pearl not glowing..."
Raven looked at the pearl and stroked it as she said, "I think, maybe, my father may know what it means. He should, and the other Viporeons. After we go to Aeroplane, we can travel to my home. It should be about one day to get there from Aeroplane, and the same if we went to Flare's home from there."
Sensei Wu nodded and said, "Alright, after we go to Aeroplane, we'll head straight to your homeland and see if your father or the Viporeons know the meaning of the pearl's caliginous behavior."
Then Sensei Wu proceeded into the Bounty, while Raven stood behind looking at the Viporeon pearl. After Raven set the pearl in her pocket, she turned to see Nya and Flare stepping on the deck and walking towards her. Raven welcomed her friends and asked what they were up to.
Flare spoke first, "Well, we heard that Nya was able to learn spinjitzu..."
"Yeah, it happened during the final battle, I kinda turned evil for a while because Garmadon had poisoned me with pure evil. So when I went to fight the guys, I somehow learned how to use spinjitzu," Nya said.
Raven was intrigued by this, but then she asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
Flare and Nya exchanged glances, and then looked at Raven.
"Well," Flare began, "I was thinking Nya here can try to teach us spinjitzu first, and then when we train tomorrow it would be a cinch. Especially when I use my spinjitzu on Kai."
Raven shook her head slowly and smiled, knowing that Flare wanted to get back at Kai for...
"Wait, I thought you already got Kai before," Raven said.
Flare's expression became annoyed as she said, "While he was fixing his clothes, Kai went into our room. He put old, stinky cheese inside my pillow, and now my pillow and bed sheets smell terrible! He removed some if the feathers from the pillow and used them to put together letters on the floor that read, 'Gotcha!'"
Flare crossed her arms in aggrivation, as Nya and Raven started to giggle. Flare shot them a glare.
Then Nya said, "Sorry about that Flare, I'll give you new sheets and a pillow after I teach you what I know about spinjitzu."
The training begins...
