[M/n] fixed the belts across his chest, tightening them and making sure his knives were securely attached. His gaze lazily flicked over to Zane, who was still sleeping which was odd for the ninja as he was an early bird in all senses of the word. It wasn't uncommon for he, Wu, and Zane to drink tea together while the others slept in.
Shooting up, Zane smacked his head on the wooden boards of the top bunk. Wincing, he rubbed at his scalp and checked his dreads.
"Oh, sleeping in? You're gonna be late for trainimg," Jay sang, delighting in not being the last ninja awake.
"Oh, how come no one awakened me?" Zane asked, sitting on the edge of his bed.
"You were having an interesting dream, I assumed you'd wish to finish it," [M/n] stated shrugging.
"How do I know this isn't a dream?" Zane asked looking around. Cole took the opportunity to smack him in the face with a pillow gleefully.
"Does that feel like a dream?"
"No. Thank you for your help," Zane said, expressing genuine gratitude to the amusement of the other ninja.
After allowing him to dress, they all headed up to the deck together for morning exercise, something Wu had recently decided to be a thing. After realizing how much the ninja had been slacking off, morning stretches had become mandatory, and the man seemed to be planning on adding other days full of training too.
Zane was obviously caught in his own mind, barely paying attention to his surroundings so Kai commented on it. "Hehe. Little slow today, huh? What exactly did you dream about?"
"I saw the Falcon again."
"Whoa, Zane. Everytime you see that bird something big happens. First, it lead you to the secret tree house," Jay listed, ticking off a finger.
"Then it lead you to the Bounty," Cole added, so Jay ticked off another finger.
"All right, stretches. First, the Swooping Crane," Wu called, demonstrating the position.
They mimicked him but only [M/n] put any effort into the pose, preoccupied with Zane's dream.
Zane lowered his voice to a whisper, "This time, it showed the Green and Silver Ninja."
"The Legendary Ninja?!"
[M/n] stiffened but kept himself in position while the others completely lost their attention.
Wu turned around, attention caught by the quiet shrieks, "That looks like the Shocked Monkey. Bad form, more focus." He turned back around, repositioning himself.
"You can't just drop a bomb like that. Spill the beans," Jay insisted in a harsh whisper.
"Yeah, what else did you see?"
"They were fighting Lord Garmadon."
"That's what the prophecy said. That the Green Ninja would defeat the Dark Lord, and the Silver Ninja would defend him. But did you have a chance to see which of us was them?" Kai asked, completely ignoring Wu.
"Yeah."
"Did you see?"
"I could not tell. The Green ninja shared attributes each of us possessed, while the Silver Ninja did not give enough hints for me to tell," Zane explained.
"Now, Pinching Crab."
"Well, tell us everything. And don't spare any details. There has to be a clue that tells us which of us are gonna be the Legendary Nin-" Wu, with no warning, grabbed Kai by the ear. "Ow, ow, ow! Hey!"
