Ever since Nya have been kidnapped, which wasn't so long ago, you started properly training, it was no longer a matter of whether or not you could do spinjitzu, but whether or not you would be able to save the girl.

And potentially everyone else when it came to.

You actually started wearing your gi on daily basis like the rest of your team and practicing your weapon. Only in Nya's absence you really got to know how many different things you could use it for! You also started training Kiko as it seem only natural that he would accompany you till the very end, and even though he knew a few tricks you had a feeling it was only instincts, which under no circumstances would be enough if you wanted him to survive.

But just because you spend more time training now didn't mean you had less time for Lloyd, no matter what were you doing as soon as he asked for you, you were at his side giving him all the love and attention he deserved.

"Ten minutes! He just broke his own record. The guy's inhuman!" You heard Kai exclaim in excitement as you walked to the deck with Lloyd sitting on your shoulders. Stopping next to the three boys, you watched as Zane climbed back onto the ship.

Everyone cheered and Jay started bowing, "We're not worthy!"

"I broke the record?"

"You destroyed it!" Kai made a breaking gesture with his hand and Cole showed the white ninja the stopper.

"Okay, okay" Jay got up from the wooden floor, "Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking? We've been training for so long, I don't think we can get any better. Just think about all we've accomplished"

You all went back to all that you have done so far.

You clearly recall watching Kai run across several hot coals without wincing in pain. At one point Kiko flew at him and ended up covering his eyes, the red ninja stumbled at first (mostly out of shock) but ultimately managed to finish his run without any problems.

You also caught Jay spinning on a metal rod on one hand during a lighting storm, your anxiety got the best of you and as soon as you saw this you run away.

Lastly, Cole came to you the other night and asked for your help, seeing that you were hanging out with Lloyd he stated the boy could help too. At first you agreed, then panicked when he included the child, but you gone with his plan anyway. Cole lifted a barbell, then added on more weights before lifting it again. Then you ended up on one end, Lloyd on your shoulders, while Jay was on the other, Kiko on his head trying to eat the chicken platter the teen was holding.

Adding Zane just beating his record and you finally giving in your all at the training you truly accomplished a lot.

"The question should be raised. Perhaps we have reached out full potential?" Zane asked as you all went back to the present. You looked at each other before going inside to find your sensei since only he would be able to answer this question. You were certain you haven't reached your True Potential but wanted to accompany the boys to congratulate them if that was the case for them. "Well, every morning I do five hundred push-ups"

"Five hundred? Ha, try a thousand!"

"Hahaha, I do a thousand and one"

"What is this, amateur hour? Sounds like my warm-up" Cole laughed at his friends in a joking manner, you kept quiet as you barely could do more than fifty. You walked into Wu's room. "Sensei, what does the True Potential look like if—" He cut himself off as he saw the man looking at a katana with a bitter expression.
