"Awww..." the Serpentine and Vampires said at the same time, as they watched Jay and Nya dance together.
"How long could he stay like that?" Violet asked, not taking her eyes off of the two love birds.
"At least five minutes," Sensei Garmadon said.
"They have some time left," Sensei Wu added.
Then a whirlwind was seen from the corner of their eyes, as they turned and saw that the wind rushing around Auria was gathering towards her. As Auria was 'blown' by the wind, she opened her eyes as she became the embodiment of wind:
Her body and clothes took the form of gray and white streaks of wind, as her eyes were glowing a silvery gray color. She had a white scarf on her mouth that looked like it was also made up of wind, and her feet were not visible as she floated in the air. Auria's hair looked longer since her hair became wind-based as well, and a whirlwind of wind surrounded her in a protective matter, and it continuously spun around her and would occasionally pull closer to Auria, and then stretch out again.
"Fascinating," Sensei Wu said.
"Whoa, that's so cool. Where's her feet?" Dareth asked, as Violet lightly smacked him over the head.
"That's an unnecessary question. Wind isn't particularly visible, so that makes sense," Violet replied, as Dareth smiled at her, as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Look, he's got it too," Sensei Garmadon said, as he pointed towards Zane, who was not too far from Auria.
The ice that circled Zane in a snowy form started to grow with icicles forming on them, and it moved towards him. As Zane was being 'frozen' by the ice and snow, he opened his eyes as he became the embodiment of ice:
His eyes were glowing golden white, as his body became light blue ice. There was a head band of white on his head, and he wore a white belt made of snow. His hair was made of icicles, and there were icicles on the sides of his arms that stuck upward towards his shoulders. His hands were glowing a vivid white with snow falling down from them. His feet stood on the ground, and the area around each foot was frozen in ice. Also, the area around Zane was frigid, and it could be seen by the snow that floated around him.
Zane looked down at himself, to take in his new appearance.
"Zane," a medium-keyed voice called out, as Zane turned to his left to see Auria floating just outside the floating snow.
"Auria. You too have unlocked your full potential," Zane said, as he turned towards her with a smile.
Auria also smiled, although only her eyes showed it, since she wore a scarf made of wind. Then Zane and Auria locked eyes on one another, as they slowly moved towards each other. The wind and snow around each of them started to flow together around both of them as they came closer together. Then, when they were about a foot apart, Zane and Auria reached out and held hands with both hands, as they gazed into the others' eyes.
"Aw, how cute..." Violet said with a small smirk, as she watched Auria and Zane.
"Interesting. Their elements are cooperating," Sensei Garmadon said, as he noticed how the wind and snow complemented one another around Zane and Auria.
"They are both in sync with their elements... and they seem to be in sync with one another as well," Sensei Wu said, as they continued to watch Zane and Auria, until they heard a sound that caught their attention.
Christa was surrounded by colorful sound waves that circled around her. Then the waves moved towards her, and as the sound waves 'resonated' to Christa, she opened her eyes and became the embodiment of sound:
Her eyes were glowing a silvery yellow, and her body became yellow sound waves that would occasionally pulse with a wave of yellow sound. Her arms and hands were glowing various pastel colors, and she floated just above the ground, as yellow sound waves emitted from her feet on the ground. A yellow scarf with various colors on the tip was wrapped around her neck and just over her mouth. Her hair flowed up and down softly, as a pulse of sounds would occasionally pulse through her hair. The area around Christa would occasionally glow from a pulse of sound waves that emitted from her body.
Christa looked around while spinning, as she ascended higher into the air.
"Such... power..." Christa said out loud, as she flipped in the air and flew around.
"This is amazing. It's like zero gravity," Christa said, amazed, as she descended to the ground, but she stood afloat.
"You seem to be getting the hang of it," Sensei Garmadon said to Christa, as she turned towards him and smiled.
"Only three left," Sensei Wu said, as he stood next to his brother and gestured towards the last three Ninja.
Flare, Cole, and Kai were still concentrating on summoning their Full Potentials. Jay, Nya, Auria, Zane, and Christa stood together, as they watched to see if the other Ninja were able to change too.
'I have to stay calm, and keep my mind clear, like when I take walks at Fountain Falls, or Aeroplane, or at my own kingdom. I take that time to clear my head... this is the same thing. Yes! The same thing!' Flare thought, as the shadows circling her grew larger, and they spun around her faster.
Then the shadows went towards Flare, as it 'covered' her and then she opened her eyes, as she became the embodiment of shadow:
Her eyes were glowing golden orange, and her body changed into smokey shadows. Her hair was a darker gray that would flow up and the tips were smoking. She had an orange scarf on her mouth that was smoking at the tips of it. Her feet were planted on the ground, and a circle of shadows were spinning around her feet slowly, as her shadows would pulse from a darker shade to a lighter shade. A glowing white belt was around her waist, and her hands were a darker shade of orange with shadow rings continuously circling them.
Flare looked at herself, as she saw and felt the power of shadows surging through her. Then she looked at the others and smirked.
"Awww yeeeah!" Flare said, as she raised a fist up in triumph.
"You did it Flare," Christa said, and Flare nodded.
"Oh yeah I did. This is awesome," Flare said, and added, "I wonder what else I could do now..."
"Look. He's gotten it," Auria said, as she pointed towards Cole.
"-Gasp- Cole is next," Christa said with a smile.
"Keep your emotions in check," Nya whispered to Christa, and Christa turned to her quick and nodded, as she settled down.
The sand and earth around Cole was circling quickly around him, as it turned and headed straight towards him. Then the earth moved towards Cole and "shook" him, and he opened his eyes as he became the embodiment of Earth:
His eyes glowed a silvery brown, and he wore a glowing white headband on his head. In the center of his chest was a white circle. The rest of his body was made of Earth that was more cracked around the center white circle. The color from the circle outward towards the rest of Cole's body was from orange, to brown, to black, and then to green. Around the circle was orange, on the rest of his torso was brown, on his arms, legs, and face was black, and his hair, hands, and feet were green. He wore a white glowing belt around his waist, and he had spikes going down the center of his back. The ground around Cole was trembling and shifting around him, and some small rocks floated around him in various rings.
"Cole."
Cole turned towards the sweet voice, as he saw Christa floating not too far from him in her Full Potential form.
"Christa. Your in Full Potential too," Cole said as he smiled at her, and Christa nodded at him.
"We all did," Flare said, as she walked towards them.
"Whoa, cool," Cole said, as he saw the others in their Full Potential forms.
"Well, not all of us," Jay said, as he pointed towards Kai.
Kai was still concentrating on his Full Potential. The fire that encircled him grew stronger, but it wasn't ready yet.
"How come he's taking so long," Flare asked, a little concerned.
"Kai is indeed willing, but after last time, I am ninety percent sure he is hesitant to turn into his Full Potential form in fear of losing control," Zane replied.
"He must get over his fear if he is to use his Full Potential," Auria said.
"Is there a way to help him?" Christa asked.
"He must learn on his own," Sensei Wu said.
"Or maybe he needs encouragement," Flare said, and she surfed on her shadows towards Kai.
"Flare, wait. Your presence may fluctuate his emotions," Sensei Garmadon said.
However, Flare continued to move towards Kai. She stood close by him, but far enough not to be near the fire ring that encircled him.
"Kai. Kai. It's me Flare," Flare whispered so as not to disturb him too much.
"...Flare," Kai said, although his eyes were still closed, but he moved his head towards her direction.
"Kai, it's alright. Use your Full Potential. Let the fire that is inside of you take form on the outside," Flare whispered.
"I... I can't. I don't want to hurt anyone," Kai said, as the fire around him dimmed a little.
"Kai, you don't have to worry about that. We're all in our Full Potential forms so we'll be fine. Also, the fire of your Full Potential is a part of you Kai. You control the fire. If you don't want us to get hurt, then we won't get hurt. You have the choice," Flare whispered.
Kai took Flare's words into consideration as he thought,
'She's right... I have the choice. I have the fire. If I don't want to hurt anyone, then I won't hurt anyone. I'll protect them... with my fire, I will fight for them... for everyone... for her...'
The fire that surrounded Kai started to intensify in heat and light.
'I won't be afraid,' Kai thought.
Then the fire spun around Kai much more quickly, as it headed straight towards him. Flare moved back when this happened. Then the fire 'burned' Kai, as he opened his eyes and became the embodiment of fire:
His eyes were glowing golden red, and he wore a glowing white headband on his head. His body was made of fire, and his hair was in the form of shifting flames. He wore a glowing white belt around his waist, and he had rings of fire around his arms, and two sashes made of red fire in an 'x' on his chest. He floated just above the ground with fire emitting from his feet, which kept him above the ground. The area around Kai was dense with heat, and a translucent circular ball of fire surrounded him. Also, his hands were enshrouded by orange, red, and blue fire.
Everyone looked in awe at Kai's Full Potential. Then Kai looked at his hands and said,
"Oh, Oh! Whoa! Look at that! I'm fire. I'm FIIYYYAA!"
Kai shot out fire from his hands in the air, as it blew out in red, orange, and blue flames.
"Whoa ho ho, Kai! That's awesome." -Jay.
"You are on fire man. No pun intended." -Cole.
"Amazing. You finally got it." -Zane
"Yeah! You did it." -Christa
"Great job Kai." -Auria
Kai looked towards the other ninja and kunoichi, noticing that they too had their Full Potentials in use.
"Thanks guys, and your all looking good yourselves..." Kai said, and then he turned towards Flare, who stood not too far from him, and said to her, "Especially you Flare."
Flare looked at Kai in surprise, and then she said, "Hmph, well thank you Kai. Your not looking too bad yourself. Now I can really call you 'fire guy.'"
Kai chuckled, as he flew closer to Flare, and then he wrapped his arm around her waist as he pulled her close to his side.
"Then can I call you 'shadow lady?'" Kai asked, as he placed his other hand under Flare's chin to make her look up at him.
Flare kept her emotions calm, as she replied, "Oh I don't mind at all. Although, your flirting isn't helping me stabilize my current form."
"Oh, sorry," Kai said, as he released Flare, and added, "And thanks for helping me back there Flare. I'm not sure if I would've achieved my Full Potential without your help."
Flare waved her hand and said, "Eh, sure thing Kai, but to be honest, you were already the first to achieve your Full Potential before."
"Huh. Oh yeah... I was the first to use it. You hear that guys?! I was the FIRST!" Kai said, as the others just signed.
Then Sensei Wu, Sensei Garmadon, Violet, and Dareth approached the ninja and kunoichi.
"So you have all realized your Full Potentials. Excellent work," Sensei Wu said, and the ninja and kunoichi nodded.
"But remember, you cannot exceed the limit of five minutes per hour of these forms," Sensei Garmadon said.
"And by exceeding the limit, when you return to your normal state, the extra energy you used to stay in that form will be taken. In other words, the longer time you take, the higher risk you won't recover," Violet said, and the Ninja nodded towards her. ('Ninja'- ninja and kunoichi included)
"Just stay within your limits, and you guys should be a-okay," Dareth added.
"Eh, don't worry about us. The only ones who should be worrying are Darkness and his goons," Kai said, and the Ninja agreed.
"Oh yeah! High five!" Jay said, as the ninja and kunoichi came together for one high five.
"NO!" Sensei Wu and Sensei Garmadon said at the same time, but it was too late.
At first contact of the high five, the ninja and kunoichi were smacked away by a powerful force, and each one landed on their backs as their Full Potential forms ceased.
"Uuuugghh," the Ninja said at the same time.
Sensei Wu and Sensei Garmadon face-palmed, as Violet shook her head, and Dareth's eyes widened in surprise.
"You still have not mastered your Full Potentials. You need to learn how to stabilize your forms before you can interact as group or even fight together," Sensei Wu said.
"How do you know all of this?" Dareth asked Sensei Wu.
"Sensei Reine informed us. She said her Sensei knows a lot about elemental masters and hidden powers they possess. Although, I do question the identity of her teacher," Sensei Garmadon said.
"Maybe it is best not to question. We should be thankful that we could receive such information," Sensei Wu said.
"True," Sensei Garmadon replied.
"So, what should they do now?" Violet asked, as they watched the ninja and kunoichi slowly rising up from the ground.
"We'll have to wait at least an hour before we can try again," Sensei Wu replied.
"Yay, an hour break," Christa said, as she tried to stand up, but then she sat back down again since she was a little dizzy.
"That's cool Sensei," Jay said, as he tried to walk, but he stumbled over Cole.
"Hey!" Cole yelled out when Jay threw him off balance on the ground again.
"Sorry," Jay said, as he tried to get up again.
"This is going to take a while," Sensei Garmadon said, and the others agreed.
Full Potentials all day!
One more thing, I appreciate being asked, but I'm not going to add other OC's into this story. I'm sorry, but I do thank you for asking.
