Opening Scene - Training Grounds at the Temple of the Elements

The episode begins at dawn, with Shin guiding Arin in mastering Rejitzu. A soft golden light filters through the trees as Shin and Arin stand face-to-face, surrounded by the faint glow of energy. The rest of the ninja team, including Lloyd, Kai, Cole, Zane, and Nya, are watching from a short distance, intrigued by the unique energy that pulses from Arin's training.

Shin: Alright, Arin. Rejitzu isn't like Spinjitzu. It's not about channeling your element—it's about harnessing the energy around you and letting it flow through you. You have to be one with it. Calm, balanced.

Arin nods, his face a mixture of determination and excitement. He takes a deep breath, focusing on Shin's words, and begins to move in slow, deliberate circles, feeling the energy start to build up around him.

Arin: Like this, Shin?

Shin: (nodding) Exactly. Feel the rhythm of the world around you. Let go of control, and just... let it guide you.

Gradually, Arin's movements speed up, and a soft golden aura starts to pulse around him. The energy intensifies, sparking with raw kinetic power. Shin watches, proud, as Arin continues to channel Rejitzu with surprising grace and precision. Suddenly, with a final surge of energy, Arin spins in a rapid motion, releasing a shockwave that radiates outward.

When he stops, the energy fades, but Arin's stance is steady, and there's a new light in his eyes.

Arin: (grinning) I did it... I actually did it!

The ninja cheer and congratulate him, though they notice a slight difference in him. Something about Arin seems changed—more grounded, but also... emptier. Zane scans him, a look of curiosity crossing his face.

Zane: Arin, it appears you can no longer access Spinjitzu.

Arin pauses, considering this revelation. He tries to summon the familiar spin, but nothing happens. Then, he takes a deep breath, looking at Shin and then at Lloyd, smiling.

Arin: You know what? That's okay. I don't need Spinjitzu. I have Rejitzu now.

Lloyd: (proudly) You've grown a lot, Arin. You've found your own path.

Scene Transition - Ryu's Vision

Elsewhere, Ryu, a quiet dragon who's been by the ninja's side for some time, begins to feel a disturbance. Standing on a hill overlooking the temple, Ryu's eyes glow with a mystical energy as he picks up on the suffering of dragons in a distant land. It's a painful sensation, one that resonates with his very soul. Ryu, not having spoken before, struggles to find a way to warn the ninja. His body shivers as he tries to communicate, his eyes glowing brighter.

Suddenly, the ninja hear a faint, echoing voice in their minds.

Ryu's Telepathic Voice: Help... dragons... in danger...

The team looks around, startled, trying to locate the source of the voice. Zane, with his advanced senses, pinpoints it quickly.

Zane: That voice... It's Ryu! He's communicating with us telepathically.

Nya: (surprised) Ryu can talk? Since when?

Lloyd: (smiling) First time, I guess. But if he says dragons are in danger, we need to check it out.

Scene Transition - The Journey to the Mountains

The ninja gather their gear and set out toward the mountains where Ryu senses the dragons. Jay, however, is forced to stay behind. Since his goodness was shattered in the previous episode, he's been struggling to stay grounded, often feeling his darker impulses take over. He watches the others leave, clenched fists at his sides, a hint of pain and frustration in his eyes as he fights to hold himself together.
