"First, I'll stomp on his tail! Then I'll when he turns, a thunder clap to his ears! Then when he's stunned I'll disarm him." Lloyd strategized on the best way to beat a Serpentine only for the others to chuckle.

"Too late, he's already hypnotised you and now you're under his control." Cole countered before Zane jumped in.

"Or he's already put you in a squeeze."

"Or spit on you with his hallucinatory venom, trust me bad stuff." Kai added leaving Lloyd stumped for ideas.

"Oh, uncle, what's the best way to stun a Serpentine if you don't know what kind they are?" Lloyd questioned asking for wisdom from Wu.

"Sadly it was the sacred flute you four carelessly lost." Wu reminded of their folly.

"Nenene.. we didn't lose it, Pythor stole it." Jay jumped in defending him and the others.

"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 they will be stronger." Wu stated not encouraging much hope in the group.

"With respect Sensei it isn't too difficult to know our enemy, the clue is quite literally in the name. Venomari spit venom, Constrictai specialise in constricting their enemies, Hypnobrai hypnotise people and Fangpyres like to bite. They're even colour coded." [Y/n] simplified through his mini educational lecture trying to lighten the mood which managed to capture the groups attention, seemingly mentally taking notes or just staring in surprise.

"Very wise [Y/n], it appears someone has been studying." Wu smiled with a hint of pride while Jay stared dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry is no one else confused?? Since when does [Y/n] study?" Jay blurted out as if shocked by the moment of intelligence.

"Believe it or not Jay, I read. Not all hobbies have to be loud and taking up a entire room." [Y/n] shot back, it was rather annoying having the common room always taken between whatever machine he was making or plain hogging the TV for video games.

"Well we won't have to worry about all that, I've almost reached my full potential and when I become the green ninja we won't need tactics or a magic flute." Cole boldly interjected which had Kai immediately sitting up to argue.

"You're going to be the green ninja? Hahaha, don't make me laugh." Kai deadpanned.

"Are you four idiots still harping on this?" [Y/n] spoke but his words fell on deaf ears.

"I thought it was decided that I was destined to be the green ninja?" Zane spoke up only for Jay to laugh at him.

"The only thing decided about you Zane is that you're weird." Naturally with the green ninja in conversation it didn't take long for them to start arguing while [Y/n] sat unimpressed along with Lloyd who was just confused.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, what's in the box?" Lloyd wondered as he got up and over to his uncle's side.

"Your new uniforms." Wu slid the box over and like a bunch of feral chimpanzees the four all started screaming and yanking them out while [Y/n] took a more reserved approach.

"They've got like armor!" Jay beamed while Kai traced hid with his fingers.

"Love the gold highlights!"

"Battle claws!" Cole cheered.

"The material is really light and breathable." Zane observed from the sleek cloth.

"It's alright." [Y/n] shrugged, a uniform was a uniform to him.

"Oh.. nothing for me?" Lloyd deflated.
