" Let's try doing Dance of the Elements." Said Jadyn. They both chose a starting position, and began the relaxed and steady form. Zephyr did as Sensei had tought her, moving her body slowly yet controlled as if she were under water. She imagined that she was using the element of gravity. Taking momentary control of the force of gravity already around her, bending it at her will like every master of gravity had before her and like The First Spinjizu Master had done before them. She closed her eyes, trying to feel the power. She remembered her family's warnings about staying secret, and how giving away even the smallest details could put them all in danger. She remembered being ever so careful whenever they would visit a coastal town when she was a child. Her family had been in hiding for so long and had been so careful all these years, not even daring to tell their own children the details about the enemy that hunted them... She opened her eyes to see Jadyn a few feet away, trying just as hard as she was. It didn't matter if her enemies knew she was the gravity ninja, because she wouldn't have to fight them alone... Suddenly she felt something, it was hard to explain but it was there, she unleashed it. In almost that exact moment Jadyn's hands ignited in flames, their eyes met. It took Zephyr a second to realize she was levitating a few inches off the ground! It felt like they were frozen in time for a moment. Then the flames disappeared and Zephyr lowered to ground awestruck. "We did it... " She breathed. "Yeah, we did. " Jadyn said grinning brightly. " That actually worked! " Shouted Zephyr excitedly. " Let's see if we can do it again. " Said Jadyn, he held out his hand, lighting up a small flame. Zephyr decided she'd try lifting something this time. She spotted a rock a few yards away and focused on the gravity around it, she released it from the pull of gravity allowing it to float in the air.
They practiced with their elements for a couple hours. After that Jadyn suggested they play video games until their friends and Sensei returned since they had most likely far from exceeded expectations. When they finally did return Sensei commented. " I hope you two actually got some training done. " " We did, and we unlocked our elemental powers. " Said Jadyn pausing the game. " I'll believe it when I see it." Said Sensei Lloyd. Zephyr focused on the game controller in her hand, feeling the invisible energy. It levitated a couple inches above her hand. " Oh wow Zephyr. " Said Lisa excitedly. " How about you Jadyn? " Asked Moe. Jadyn created a small flame briefly. " Hmm, I honestly didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly. I'm actually impressed." Said Sensei. " Now we've all got elements! " Said Moe entuasticly, He than looked like he thought of something and said " Except Nathan. No offense dude. " " None taken. " Repiled Nathan goodnaturedly. As everyone celebrated and talked cheerfully Zephyr wondered something. I may have finally unlocked my element, but what price will I have to pay?
A little later Lisa, Nathan, Moe and Sensei were about to leave. Sensei stopped right before he headed out the door and said. " Remember, fear is your greatest obstacle right now. " And with that they left. Silence. " Want to train outside? " Zephyr suggested. " Sure. " Said Jadyn. They went out the back door and into the training by the garden. It was dark out, but the light of the aurora minerals lit the garden and training area enough to train. Peak made an odd noise off in the distance. The sound of the tiny waterfalls and the wind blowing through the plants filled the back garden. They stood there in silence for moment. Zephyr looked out at garden, it still made her feel at home with all the greenery and flowing water. The sound of some insects could also be heard, and a moth flew nearby. *** " You know, I've been thinking about what Sensei said before he left tonight... " Zephyr was listening, but said nothing. Jadyn continued " How about this... I'll face my fear if you face your's. " Zephyr thought about this for a moment. This was a bold thing he was suggesting, but she knew he was right. They had to overcome their fears at some point if they ever wanted to have control over their elements. She may not know his fear and he may not know hers, but a least they wouldn't be facing them alone. Jadyn walked over to her, hand outstretched. " Deal?" "Deal. " They shook on it.

Alpha had to find out more about Lloyd's new students. It had been plaguing his mind lately. There had to be a way to dissect this information. If he wanted his plans to succeed he didn't want to underestimate anyone. These new elemental masters may seem harmless but if he wasn't careful they could very well be his downfall. Not to mention if the unidentified one was a master of gravity the information she held was invaluable... He needed to think, what would be the safest course of action? The media wasn't any help. He had no clue about where they lived. He needed to draw them out somehow. But how? That assassin seemed to know what he was doing. Of course though, he had the fact that the ninja had been going to that feastel every year for the past decade to use to his advantage. Where did the ninja always go? Day of the Departed was coming up, but no one ever seemed to know where they went then. However, there was one sure way to get them out of their fox hole, a cry for help...
Three days later, evening, The Dojo
Lisa was in the garden visiting Peak. She stroked his gray feathers lightly. She heard the sound of footsteps running toward her down the path, it was Nathan. " Sensei wants to see everyone inside." He said trying to catch his breath. "Alright I'm coming. " She said petting Peak one last time. He made a cooing sound in his throat and moved his enormous wings a little. Lisa and Nathan made their way back to the dojo and found Moe, Zephyr and Jadyn already waiting inside. Sensei walked into the room, he seemed to do a quick mental head count and then spoke. " There's a town twenty miles north of the fest grounds that has been getting threats through graffiti demanding that we go there. The town's mayor contacted the police however it's not helping and the threats have only gotten worse. The police contacted me and told me this was happening. " " What is your plan Sensei? " Asked Jadyn. " I think we should go there. It's most likely a trap, but if these threats are real doing nothing would be worse. We play their game. For now. " Repiled Sensei Lloyd.
Everyone exchanged glances. Moe asked. " Do you know who it is?" " No. " Repiled Sensei. " Suit up. You're normal ninja suits and a weapon of your choice. Not you though Nathan, you still need more training and will stay here. Go get ready. " " Aw man... " Said Nathan, " That's ok I guess, I'll just train hard so I go next time... " Lisa choose nunchucks, she wasn't an expert with them, however she could use them just about as well as any other weapon. She choose them because she would rather not stab anyone, she could just hit them hard in right place and it could be over with. Zephyr grabbed a sword like she had been practicing with lately. Jadyn took some throwing stars and throwing knives. And Moe took a bo staff. " Alright, meet me out in the jet." Said Sensei.
Haiki waited in the center of town. He had agreed to meet with the ninja at their arrival. It was was a little unsettling if he was honest, being out in the daylight out in the open. He reminded himself though that since he was in street clothes the ninja would just see him as one of the people who lived here. Which was almost true, he had lived here previous to moving to the den full time. He felt his knife that he had concealed under his jacket, it was there if he needed it. This was a risky move the pack was taking, however Alpha had thought out a way to pull it off without exposing anything the ninja didn't already know. Suddenly a green jet flew overhead and then shortly after must have landed not far off. That had to be them. Sure enough five colorful ninja walked toward him not long after. They all had their hoods up,concealing their faces. Even a green ninja who must've been Lloyd. Besides the green ninja there was a blue ninja, a light blue ninja, a red ninja, and a very light green ninja. Besides Lloyd, all seemed to be carrying weapons.
Haiki waited for them to get near enough to see him clearly, than he motioned for them to come closer. Once they were in ear short he asked. " Are you here to help us? " It was what he was told to say. He had to act like he really needed their help. " Yes. " Repiled the green ninja. He understood why the miners had attacked, his instincts were screaming at him to end them then and there. They were so close and unsuspecting. It would be so easy... He knew better though, he wasn't wolf rank for nothing. Alpha had a plan and Haiki wouldn't do anyone any good by giving into his craving. Instead he said to them. " Follow me." He could feel them staring at him as he walked toward an alleyway not far off. " Down this alley. " The blue ninja narrowed her eyes in suspicion. " See for yourselves." There was graffiti on the walls of the alleyway and they did indeed contain threats. The ninja began to examine the vandalism. Haiki glanced up at the windows and roofs above the alleyway. He couldn't see the other pack members but he knew they were there. Many had crossbows, arrows, blow guns and sleeping darts. If they wanted to end or capture Lloyd and his students now it would be easy, all they would need was permission. He stood still, listening, the ninja were talking among themselves, however he was trying to ignore them and listen for something else. Then he heard it, the thuds of many feet hitting the ground around them. So far successful. Many hooded figures emerged from the shadows of the alley, all in black or dark gray with some other color. Each had a small cape draped over their shoulder and most had wolf paw symbols. He could could tell who they each were by their colors and ranks. Kent, yellow cape and wolf rank. Rex, purple cape, student rank. Rose, hot pink, pack rank. Delta, student rank. Maze, Xavier, Speck, Olivia and Shad. One of the ninja exclaimed at the sight of them. " It is a trap! " " We came prepared. Take them! " Said Lloyd. Haiki didn't move as everyone else jumped into action.

I CON see her element being super handy. Maybe even OP.
