The ninja were enjoying breakfast together, discussing the Serpentine Tribes and Pythors efforts to reunite them. Lloyd had joined in, after finally waking up, and the conversation turned to facing the different Tribes.
"First, I'll stomp on his tail. Then when he turns, a thunder clap to his ears. Then when he's stunned, I'll disarm him," Lloyd demonstrated, jumping around the small dining area. He looked to [M/n], seeking approval but the others were quick to shoot him down.
"Too late, he's already hypnotized you and now you're under his control," Cole said.
"Or he's already put you in a squeeze," Zane offered, hand dropping to his ribs in remembrance of the Constrictai Generals grip.
"Or spit on you with his hallucinatory venom. Trust me, bad stuff," Kai grimaced.
"Uncle, what's the best way to stun a Serpentine if you don't know what kind they are?" Lloyd asked, sitting back down beside [M/n].
"Sadly, it was the Sacred Flute you five carelessly lost," Wu stated, sending a sharp look towards the ninja.
[M/n], ignoring him, leaned down a bit to whisper, "I'll teach you how to identify which tribe they're from, don't worry."
"Hey, no, no, no, we didn't lose it. Pythor stole it," Jay argued, ignoring [M/n] in turn.
"Whatever the case, without it I fear we have nothing to combat their powers. We may have prevented them from uniting in the past, but they will try again, and one day they will be stronger."
"Don't worry. I've almost reached my Full Potential, and when I become the Green Ninja, we're not gonna need any magic flute," Cole stated, flexing his muscles.
[M/n] sighed, pressing his pointer and middle finger to his forehead as an argument started up. Again.
"You're gonna be the Green Ninja? Hahaha, don't make me laugh."
"I thought it was decided that I was destined to become the Green Ninja."
Lloyd looked around in confusion, having never actually heard of the Green Ninja until now. He looked up, tried too, when a hand dropped on his head and ruffled his blond locks. "Please don't grow up to be idiots like them."
"No way. I'll be way cooler."
"Oh! The only thing decided about you, Zane, is that you're weird."
Lloyd's attention was caught when Wu stood and retrieved a box from the Postman, quietly sitting back down. Realizing the ninja were all too focused on their arguement, he raised his voice, "Yeah, yeah, yeah! What's in the box?"
"Your new uniforms," Wu said, passing out the GI's.
The four tore open the clear packaging around them, admiring their GI's. [M/n] was more meticilous, removing his and carefully scrutinizing it as Lloyd looked it over in awe.
Seperate from the GI was a silver pauldron, sculpted into the shape of a fox. Surprised by the extravagent piece, he ran his fingers over it, admiring the detail and metal work.
