Ninjago: Call of the Wind (Under Editing)

Chapter Four: The Silver Ninja

By the next day, Master Wu could be seen with Audra on the mountain's staircase. Audra had told her aunt about her being accepted by the Monastery of Spinjitzu and Master Wu, Aunt Rose had encouraged her to become the newest Ninja Master while sending Audra's packed stuff ahead to the temple, so Audra wouldn't have to worry about carrying it. When they went up the staircase, Audra had saved her energy till the end of the trip. Master Wu was surprised by that, but he was impressed by her clever thinking when she regarded the new situation. During her training, Audra had learned companionship and how to harness the "Wind" inside of her. This training consisted of running a course before Master Wu could finish his tea. Audra accomplished this after several days and did so by taking the teacup out of her Master's hands when she was about halfway through the course.
Master Wu glanced at her from his tea and smiled at her slightly, impressed by the growing process that she had shown to him countless times during her training. Audra was panting from the unexpected exercise and yet was still standing with surprisingly strong determination. "It's been a long journey, but you've done well. I... I know you must miss your home." Audra smiled at him sadly. "But don't worry, the other Ninjas are eager to meet you today."
Master Wu soon opened the temple door and led Audra inside of the temple. But as soon as she entered the temple, she was surprised at the sight of obstacle course in the courtyard.
"Me too," admitted Audra. "But I'm a little nervous about meeting them."
Master Wu smiled at her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You have nothing to worry about. We have each become each other's family here."
Audra perked up. "Really? A family?" Back in her old hometown, it was just her and Aunt Rose. She only had an older brother, who had passed away a few years ago and she's unaware of what happened her parents. But ever since the incident involving her older brother, but Audra has forgotten what it was like to have siblings. "I never did have siblings."
Master Wu gestured for her to step with a smile. "Well, you're about to have some now." He opened the door, revealing the training exercises and the other Elemental Ninjas.
In the courtyard, five teenage boys and a girl were training on the dummies and the targets in the courtyard. The boy who was in a red ninja outfit was a spiky brown-haired boy as he fought with his fiery sword on one of the dummies. The brown-haired boy and the black-haired girl who was in blue ninja outfits were fighting back-to-back with their respective weapons, clearly showing the bond between a pair of lovers. Then, there's a ninja in a white ninja outfit with pale blonde tall flat-top hair was taking out the targets on the Target-Oh-Wheel. The leader of the team was clearly the legendary Green Ninja, who was skillfully taking down his targets with his respective weapon. But Audra accidentally caught the eye of a black-haired ninja in a black ninja outfit as he practiced fighting against one of dummies.
"Wow." Audra stepped forward, awed and curious at the sight of the other Elemental Ninjas training together. As she continued gazing around, she took notice that one of the Elemental Ninjas were gazing at her too.
"Ninjas." The Elemental Ninjas gathered around Master Wu, causing Audra to hide herself in the shadows while feeling nervous towards the group of heroic Elemental Ninjas. "We are about to a new member who's going to be joining us." Master Wu's expression softened as he gazed at the newest Ninja's hiding place. "You can come out of hiding my dear." Swallowing quietly, Audra stepped out of the shadows of the temple quietly, revealing herself to the other Elemental Ninjas. She ducked her head shyly, while gazing at them with wary curiosity. "Everyone this is Audra Valiente, the new Master of Wind."
"Hey, I'm Kai." He lifted his hand, a small ball of fire lit up at the palm of his hand and smiled at her kindly. "Master of Fire." The fireball soon disappeared into smoke.
"Hi Audra, I'm Nya," greeted the other girl Ninja. "Master of Water." Audra noted the similarities between the duo, they're probably a pair of biological siblings.
"I'm Jay," spoke up the other Blue Ninja with a bright smile. "Master of Lightning."
"I'm Zane," said the White Ninja. "Master of Ice."
"I'm Lloyd," The Green Ninja said. "The Green Ninja."
"And I'm Cole." Cole's breath was hitched in his throat when he and her both locked eyes. Cole had seen and met many girls, but not like her; the others were children. This girl was definitely attractive, but unlike some he had came across, she wasn't jumping to any sudden conclusions at an instant. Her gaze was... studious, as if she were trying to figure just who or what he was. "Master of Earth."
"It's nice to meet you all," Audra said softly.
"Ninja Go!" Audra gasped when she saw Master Wu had summoned forth a bright yellowish-white light that resembles a tornado that she could only recognized as one of the amazing Ninja abilities. It was his Spinjitzu!
She hesitantly stepped closer and watched as he did his move right in front of her. She felt a tingle of warmth go through her for some reason. But once Master Wu was done doing his Spinjitzu, Audra was stunned at the sight of what she is now wearing. She was wearing the similar Ninja outfit as the others, but her's in the color of silver and highlighted in gold.
Master Wu soon tapped both of her shoulders with his staff. "Welcome Audra, the Silver Ninja. Master of Wind."

After Audra met the other Elemental Ninjas, she went into her room and started organizing it within her bedroom. The room was traditionally Japanese like. She organized her room with great organization, from most of her weapons on the wall to folding the last of her clothes (from regular and new) into her drawers.
Audra soon walked out of her new bedroom, feeling nervous as she entered the cafeteria by herself. She soon spotted Nya chatting to Sky and Pix while the other boys were talking to each other. Audra soon spotted Master Wu, Master Garmadon (what? I felt sorry for him), and Misako. She soon sat down next to Nya and started eating the noodles from her bowl.
Garmadon turned to look at Audra. "Audra, may I ask about your powers?"
She nodded. "Sure. They've been on my dad's side. Grandpa had the power, as did my dad and older brother. But after they both passed away, their Wind abilities have been passed down to me as the remaining members of the Valiente Family."
"Wait! Wait! Wait!" Jay shot out in one single breath. "You're one of the last members of the Valiente Family?" He stared at her with shock and surprise.
"Yeah." She nodded.
"I have heard that that can happen with an element," Garmadon said.
Jay leaned forward on the table. "Here's another question. You have anyone special back in New Ninjago City?"
"Jay!" The boys all yelled.
"You don't just randomly ask that!" Cole scolded him.
"Back off Dirt Cloud, you're just jealous that I asked first!" yelled Jay.
"You're lucky I'm not pounding you into the ground!" Cole snapped.
"Guys!" Lloyd yelled, glaring at one then the other. "Knock it off!" He leaned to Kai. "Is it me, or are these two now fighting over Audra, instead of Nya?"
"Not just you," Kai said with a sigh. "I'm just glad neither are fighting over my sister."
"I'm afraid that's a no," replied Audra, ignoring the disagreement between the two boys. "Many people knew that I'm the younger sister of Morro, and I decided to be alone before anyone could hurt me... again."
"Can I ask why they hurt you like that?" Kai asked.
"They fear that I might bring forth Morro's misdeeds once again," replied Audra sadly. "But I don't have the heart to do so. No matter how many times that they have provoked me into doing it."
Master Garmadon placed his hand on her shoulder with an empathetic smile. "You have real friends now."
"Yeah!" All of the Ninjas smiled at her.
Audra smiled softly at them. Maybe... just maybe, she has finally found herself a new family amongst the team. She finally found the siblings she struggled to bond with all those years ago.
