The small child sat with her chin ontop of her knees, watching as the Skulkin sparred with one another. Well, more like playfully fighting then sparring. "Funny." She said, giggling when one of the Skulkin's head fell off.

Her body froze when she felt someone sit beside her, but calmed down when she realized it was Kruncha. "Hello!" She gave him a small smile, happy to see her favorite samuria. "Didn't Samukai order you to go train?" She slightly growled at the mention of that name. "Not the boss of me." Nuckal randomly jumped into the conversation, side hugging the girl. "Well, Samukai is our boss, and he ordered us to order you and make sure you were doing your orders." Nuckal chirped, pimching her cheeks. "Orderly."

She gave a small whine of frustration, pushing the clingy Skulkin away. "Off! Away!" Nuckal only laughed at her attempt. "Humans are so weak and squishy." He plucked her up from the ground. "Or maybe you're just weak and squishy.

Nuckal carried her to their own private training course, the girl thrashing and yelling the whole way there. "Alright little kin, train your squishy body." Nuckal's efforts only ended in a negative result. She just sat there, with a cute angry expression plastered on her face.

"You won't even try for us?" Kruncha asked, trying to guilt trip her. "Samukai's orders." She hissed. "Actually, Lord Garmadon gave the order." The girl trembled in fear, slowly curling into a small ball. Both of the Samuria gave a pitiful look.

Kruncha lifted the girl to her feet, wiping away the small tears that escaped her eyes. "Don't look so down little kin, look on the brighter side." Nuckal stated, patting her back. "We're the ones that need to report back to Lord G about how the training went." Kruncha nodded, grabbing her hand to wrap bandages around them.

"We'll make sure to tell him how much progress you're making, okay?" She didn't say anything, only hugged the two, causing Nuckal to get giddy from the affection and Kruncha to annoyingly sigh. "Fight me, boneheads!" She roared, ready to train. "There's our little kin!" Nuckal cheered, throwing a wooden sword to her. "As always, don't hold back, girly."

With a final punch, the bag ripped, spilling all of the sand from it. (Y/n) let out a heavy puff of breath, hair sticking to her forehead from the sweat. Even if she ripped ten punching bags,  that burning embarrassment she felt didn't go away.

The ship came to a stop near a mountain, which confused her. She turned to see Wu and his pupils come onto the upper deck. They all exchanged a few words before Wu stepped off the ship.

"What is the meaning of his departure?" She asked, watching as the Sensei grows smaller and smaller as the bountry leaves.  "Wu is going on this self exploring adventure to face the obstacles in his heart." Jay summarized.

"Ah, well that explains nothing." She unwrapped the bandages from her hands, showing how much she bruised her knuckles. "Wow, talk about sore loser, still upset about failing to protect Lloyd?" Kai mocked. "More furious than upset."
