''Ten minutes! He just broke his own record!'' Kai exclaims while looking down at the small pocket watch that is covered in a beautiful rosy gold. Cole, Jay, and I are staring over his shoulder with our eyebrows raised, and our jaws dropped, ''The guy's inhuman!'' He finishes.

We all look over the security fence, trying to see where Zane's position was. He was peacefully sitting down at the bottom of the ocean, meditating on the soft sanded floor.

We see his head pop out of the clear cyan water, along with a gasp. He gets greeted by our laughs and cheers. 

''Amazing!'' Cole chuckles.

''We're not worthy!'' Jay shouts, getting on his knees and bowing to Zane.

''I broke the record?'' He asks with a small grin on his face.

''Broke the record? You totally destroyed it!'' I holler as Kai shows him the watch.

''Okay. Okay. Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking?'' My brother questions, placing a hand on my shoulder while Cole backs out and swings kicks in the air, ''We've been training for so long, I don't think we can get any better. Just think about all we've accomplished.''

''The question should be raised. Perhaps we have reached our full potential?'' Zane queries.

We all walk towards Sensei's room while they brag about how many push-ups they can do.

''Well, every morning I do five hundred push-ups.'' Zane says with pride.

''Five hundred? Ha, try a thousand!'' Kai surpasses him while walking through the door. Zane, Jay, and I follow him quickly after.

I'm not even going to join myself into the little competition they have here since I can hardly do five hundred push-ups.

Jay starts to laugh, ''I do a thousand and one.'' He finishes.

Cole walks through the doorway shortly after us, ''What is this, amateur hour? Sounds like my warm-up! Sensei, what does true potential look like if–'' He starts to brag but shuts himself off. 

Our face drops, and we furrow our eyebrows as we realize that we interrupted Master Wu in his deep thought. I fold my hands together as the others do the same, and we all bow to him at the same time.

''Our apologies, sensei. We've interrupted you.'' Zane speaks up, apologizing for our rude behavior.

Wu sighs and sets down his katana that is enveloped in a bright red and soft fabric, ''I'm sorry if I've been distant lately. My mind has been elsewhere since Lloyd has gone missing. What can I help you with?'' He asks, his back turned to us as he gazes through the window.
