Rise of the Serpentine (Cole x Reader)

Tick Tock Chapter 7

(AN: I just want to note again that the thanksgiving special takes place in between season 1 and 2 so it has not happened yet and one more thing, I'm so sorry it’s taken me so long to get thins chapter out, I have been trying my best to write it, it’s just school has been a lot, and while I was writing this chapter I got a bit sick. Like I would have sneezing attacks a lot and if I breathed too hard I would start to cough. Now I’ll shut up and get to the chapter)

You, Jay, Kai, and Cole watched the pocket watch that you were using to time Zane, who was holding his breath under the water where you had landed the Boughty to train.

“Ten minutes.” Kai started. “ He just broke his own record. The guys inhuman.”

It didn’t take long before Zane swam up to the surface of the Boughty. Definitely breaking his record. It was like Kai was right for once, he was inhuman.

“Amazing.” Cole celebrated, as the rest of you threw your arms in the air.

“We’re not worthy.” Jay said, bowing to the teenager in the water.

“I broke the record?” Zane asked.

“You demolished it.” You said, pointing to the pocket watch in Kai’s hand.

“Ok, ok. Is anyone thinking what I’m thinking?” Jay asked.

“Jay, no one is ever thinking what you're thinking.” You teased.

“Well, we’ve been training for so long, I don’t think we can get any better.” He said, ignoring your comment, and putting his hand on your shoulder.

“But the question should be raised.” Zane started, climbing back onto the Boughty. “Perhaps we have reached our full potential?” He asked, as you helped him up. 

“I don’t think so, but why don’t we ask Sensei?” You suggested.

“Why not.” Jay said, walking towards the starwell to Sensei Wu’s quarters.

“Well, every morning I do 500 pushups.” Zane bragged.

“Five hundred?” Kai asked, “ha, try a thousand.” 

You rolled your eyes as you entered Sensei Wu's quarters.

“Ha, ha. I do a thousand and 1.” Jay told Kai.

“What is this, amateur hour?” Cole asked, as they all stepped into Sensei’s room. “Sounds like my warm ups. Sensei, what does true potential look like if-” Cole started,  it stopped when he realised we had came while Sensei Wu was doing something at looke important.

“Our apologies, Sensei.” Zane apologised for the group, as you all put your hands together and bowed to your Sensei. “We’ve interrupted you.”

You looked over Cole’s shoulder to find he was covering a katana in cloth.

Sensei Wu put the katana away before turning to force you and the group. “I am sorry if I have been distant lately.” He expressed his regret. “My mind has been elsewhere since Lloyd has gone missing. What can I help you with?” 

“Sensei, what if we’ve done enough training?“ cole asked.

“What if we’ve already reached our full potential?” You added, speaking up.

“What if we’re ready?” Cole continued.

“Heh. You might have reached your peak physical condition, but you’ve yet to reach your inner potential.” Sensei explained. “In each and everyone of us, there are obstacles that hold us back.
