Y/N's POV:

I wanted to scream at Ninja. I had bad feelings about that Blue. I went home and had to calm myself down before I burned my house down. "Who does he think she is!?" I whispered quietly, getting ready for bed. "She cannot take my place! I don't really care if the prophecy is real or not, I don't like her." The book that was under my pillow buzzed and I picked it up, ready to gossip to Shira.
When I was sucked in, Shira was there on a rock, meditating. "Shira! You will not believe what had just happened," I said, walking up to her.
"You are unhappy with Ninja's choice, hmm, Dreamer?" she asked, not opening her eyes. I sat with my back against the rock, wanting to just spill my guts to her. "Tell me all about it. Because I can give you some guidance to your questions." I took in a sigh before starting.
"Ok, so me and Ninja were battling a monster of some sorts and there was another Ninja. She was dressed in blue, and her name was Blue. It really made no sense why she was there! Anyways, she used some powers that we don't have and I have a bad feeling about the way she spoke to me. It was like she was trying to take my place," I said, looking at the rock I leaned against. Shira opened her eyes and looked down at me.
"She thinks highly of Ninja. And she is a messenger, for you and Ninja. And what she has said tonight was true. There are five other Ninja that are coming here. They are all looking for Ninja. They will try and take your place, but you will need to prove yourself. There will not be a choice in this. You will need to become a team, a family," she said wisely. I blinked many times before looking back up at her.
"Ok, so what is the evil that is rising from the depths of this town?" I asked.
"I am afraid I cannot tell you," Shira shook her head. I looked her in the eyes again, feeling as if she knew far more than I did. "Do you know who the Ninja is? The original?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her in a serious way. She nodded, but was mute to the question. "Your alarm clock is about to go off. Farewell, dear Dreamer." And I was blasted out.

All week, monsters were popping up and disrupting the day, but me and Ninja didn't see Blue again for a little while. Sometimes, I thought I could see her in the shadows, or behind other people. But When I went to do a double take, she was gone. "Snowbird! Get your head in the game!" Ninja's wild cry broke through my thoughts during a fight with another robot.
I twisted and turned away from the blades that swung out, attempting to catch me off guard. I didn't answer back, I just fought silently. I had that cold feeling I was being watched again. I spun around and looked to see no one there. I wanted to scream because of that damn feeling. Suddenly, I was knocked over on my back and pinned to the asphalt, staring at two large mechanic eyes.
I kicked at the monster, but it didn't budge. Where was Ninja Boy when you needed him? "NINJA HYDRO HAND!!" I closed my eyes and turned my head away, waiting for a shocking energy blast to fly through my veins. And it came as quickly as I had thought it would. The energy pulsed through me, giving and taking the energy I had. I opened my eyes to see sparks fly from the robotic monster and it loosened it's grip on my shoulders. I managed to squeeze out, catching my breath.
"You ok?" I looked up and saw Ninja standing there. I really wanted to smack him. But all of my energy was gone and I nodded solemnly. "Yeah..." I heaved. Ninja nodded and smoke bombed away. I did the same and went home. I didn't feel so good, so I laid in bed for a bit. I blinked softly and turned on the TV.
"Here on Norriseville News," a lady said as I flicked on the channel. I groaned and moved my finger to press the guide button when I stopped and saw that there was a flash of another Ninja! He had on a black and gray suite. In the action, he was flipping over robbers and thieves. "Today, a new Ninja was found fighting a gang down Oak Street. We are here live with Collin Figs, explaining the scene."
"Yeah, all I saw was a blur of black and gray and we thrown out of the way of the gang before finding that I had been saved by a Ninja. I looked back and he was gone, but the gang was all knocked out. That probably only took 12 seconds!"
I breathed in and out, trying to calm the head ache that pounded in my head. This was all just a little too much for me to handle! Four Ninja's? I thought. There's totally gonna be trouble. I glanced up at the screen again. The gray Ninja turned towards the camera, and his eyes were a deep, striking, icy blue. That image was frozen in my mind.
