In the solitude of my room, frustration boiled within me as I attempted to coerce my powers into submission. They danced on the edge of my control, taunting me with their erratic behavior, as if they had a mind of their own. With a growl of frustration, I angrily willed them to obey, but they remained stubbornly silent.

"Uh, Violet?" Nya's voice shattered the tense silence, causing my small purple energy ball to dissipate into nothingness.

"Yeah?" I turned to face her, my irritation palpable.

"We want to have a talk," Nya said, a hint of excitement lacing her words.

"Uh, okay," I replied, curiosity piqued as I followed her out of my room and onto the deck, where the rest of the ninja were gathered.

"What's up?" I asked, scanning their faces for clues.

"We've found a camp of those hunters, and they're planning to attack one of the nearest villages. We wanted to know if you wanted to come and help us or not?" Cole explained, his voice serious yet tinged with anticipation.

"Me, really?" I couldn't hide my surprise.

"Yeah, why not? It'll be a good first mission for you," Kai chimed in, a reassuring smile on his face.

"Great! We're going soon," Zane added, his tone decisive.

"Okay, let me get ready," I replied, excitement bubbling within me despite my doubts about my powers.

I quickly made my way back to my room, thoughts racing as I prepared for the upcoming mission. Would my powers cooperate this time? I couldn't shake the nagging uncertainty, but I pushed it aside, determined to prove myself.

Returning to the deck, I found the ninja ready and waiting. "Ready, y'all?" Nya asked, her gaze sweeping over the group.

With a collective nod, we set off towards the village, anticipation humming in the air. Everything seemed calm as we made our way through the forest, but as we ventured deeper, the tension grew palpable.

And then we saw it – the camp of hunters, their presence looming ominously before us. We crouched in the bushes, hoping to catch them off guard, but our cover was blown when one of the hunters spotted us.

"INTRUDERS!" The shout echoed through the camp, setting off a flurry of activity as the hunters mobilized for battle.

I leaped into action, dodging and weaving through the chaos as I fought alongside the ninja. But amidst the melee, one figure stood out – larger and more menacing than the rest.

"Guys, there's a big one!" I shouted, my voice tinged with urgency as I warned my comrades of the looming threat.

Kai unleashed a fireball, but it seemed to have no effect on the behemoth before us. Panic surged within me as I watched the others struggle against the formidable foe.

An idea flashed through my mind, and I called out to Lloyd, beckoning him over amidst the chaos. "Violet, this isn't the right moment!" he protested, confusion evident in his voice.

"Just give me your hand, you Christmas tree!" I snapped, reaching out for him to take.

He hesitated for a moment before complying, and as our hands connected, I closed my eyes, channeling a fraction of my power into him. His eyes widened in shock as his gaze met mine, but without a word, he released my hand and turned to face the enemy.

The others watched in amazement as Lloyd's eyes began to glow with a bright green light, and with renewed vigor, he launched himself into the fray. I leaned against a nearby wall, my head spinning as the battle raged on around me.

After what seemed like a eternity the hunters were gone my head stil spun I tried to walk a bit only to collapse

"Violet are you okay?!" Nya yelled has she ran to me worried

"Y-yeah just tired don't worry" I said giving her a smile had I got up

"Violet how did you?" Lloyd began

"I just gave you a power up don't worry" I smiled

"Woah you can do that?!" Jay said

"Yeah that just a skill I learned a couple ages ago uh..."

"Well we got rid of them let's go back before one of them comes back with backup" Cole said we nodded and started going back to the ship

"That went pretty well! Didn't it?" Nya said has we walked to the lobby

"Yeah it did!" I smiled
