Elemental Animals: Ninja Born

chapter 5: 3 out of 4

Cole rarely paced in his life. Most times because he was stressed, others because he couldn't put emotions into words but currently it was both. He summoned a great beast and they also failed to get to Briggan's summoner in time. Cole was a little glad he got to meet another kid who summoned a great beast but a little devastated as well. Jay, Jhi's summoner, was hyperactive like he had too much sugar or something. Also making Cole wonder how could a kid like Jay, hyper and always on the move, summon a spirit animal like Jhi, lazy and a slow mover? Cole sat in a chair to stop pacing 'maybe the nectar mixed the two up? Maybe Jay was supposed to summon Jhi?' He thought. Cole got up to leave when he heard Jay yelp from a different room.
Cole dashed down the hall, Uraza in tow. He slammed the door open to see a girl with raven black hair, pinning Jay's face on the ground with an arm twisted behind his back.
Jhi was standing behind the girl and Uraza slinked to her side. Cole standing in front of her "You've kinda pinned the summoner of Jhi there," he said. The girl looked up at Cole, before looking at Uraza and Jhi. She had let go of Jay's arm end helped him to stand. That's when Cole busted out laughing "She a foot shorter than you," he said.
Jay was crimson red "I-I didn't know!" He stuttered. Jay's eyes looked over to the girl, she was shorter than him! Jay groaned, he summons Jhi but still gets pinned by a girl. He was about to retort towards Cole but the boat shuttered. They had just arrived at the mountain.

Zane sat by the forest, He had done this before. Spirit bonding. Something he learned from a few people in his village. Well only from people who have spirit animals. Thinking about it, Zane had notice that not many people in his village had spirit animals, only two, Himself being the second.
Zane looked at the sky and spotted Essix. She was soaring when something caught her attention. Zane looked to see a boat near the village. A boat. He got up from the ice and snow, rushing to find out why and how.
Zane arrived at the village where everyone was gathered to see these strangers. He worked his way through the crowd to the front. Five people were present, two elderly men and two boys about his age and a girl younger than the boys. The next Zane noticed was the spirit animals. One boy, black haired with tanned skin, had a leopard next to him and the other, light brown/tan hair and freckled pale skin, had a giant panda. Zane spotted Essix soaring above the village and looked at the black haired boy, he was watching the grye falcon and could see it dip every so often. The boy looked at Zane and said something to the panda boy. Zane took off running.

Jay followed after the platinum blonde, Cole was following the boy as well just a few paces ahead of him. Jhi had been in pace with Jay, but kept pushing into him. Jay pushed the panda back, what was she doing? Suddenly it clicked to Jay what she was doing. He smiled at the giant panda "You are sooo smart!" He said.
Zane looked back. Only one in pursuit of him. Somehow it wasn't right, so Zane took a dive and slipped under a fallen tree. It was too big to jump over unless if you had a spirit animal ability or Essix's golden weapon. Zane had a short lived victory when suddenly the other boy was about to run head first into him. He stepped aside and the boy ran head first into the tree. The boy landed with a thud into the snow, he laid there groaning. Zane started to walk away when another person nearly trampled him.
It was the black haired boy, smiling at his victory "You've gotta come with us to the bounty," he said in a low voice, not threatening but like it was natural.
Zane stared at him for a few moments "Why?" He asked.
The black haired bot shook his head "I don't know yet but I do know is you summoned Essix, which means you've gotta come with us," The boy replied.
Zane weighted his choices then spoke "You summoned Uraza and the other summoned Jhi, am I correct?" Zane said.
The boy above him laughed "You're pretty smart but yes, you are right, so will you come with us before the real bad guys come for you?" The boy asked. Zane nodded, If someone worse was coming for him then he'd prefer two other fallen then no fallen at all. The boy got off of him and helped Zane up "I'm Cole, Uraza's summoner, and that-" pointing to the groaning boy "- is Jay, Jhi's summoner, as you would know," Cole introduced.
Zane placed a hand to his chest "I am Zane, Essix's summoner," he said.
Zane learned the names of the other three people, The first elderly man had a long white beard and had no spirit animal, he was sensei Wu. The other had dark grey hair but unlike the first he had a spirit animal, a boa constrictor, he was sensei Gramadon. The dark haired girl was a year younger then the three boys and had not summoned spirit animal, her name was Nya. As they left only with one good side. The group had three out of four of the fallen but determined to get Kai, Briggan's summoner and Nya's older brother.
