Cole P.O.V
I wave my hand in front of Sophie's eyes. "Hello?" I say. It's like someone paused her face, her eyes are wide open and not blinking. "Sophie?" I snap my fingers and she shakes her head. "Sorry," she mumbles. Unsure, I go back to looking for the book. You so sure about that? Shrugging off the thought, I scan the shelves for the book. The last book leaves off with Opera killing Kevin. What a cliffhanger. Opera had been trying to kill Kevin for a while, but whenever she was about to she couldn't bring herself to do it. Now she finally did, but...she ends up killing someone else in the next book. Now I can go on and on about Never trust me, it's a series, but now's not the time for it. I finally find the book.

"Here it is," I say, taking it out of the shelf and handing it to Sophie, who was looking through the multiple shelves. "Oh thanks!" She takes it and walks over to the red sofa. She sits down and starts to read. I look around for another book. There're tons to choose from but I can't decide on which one to read though! That's the struggle of a reader, or book worm, whatever word you choose. If Sophie was able to go through the door that means she's an Elemental Master, or it could be some special exception. Nah, I wonder what element she has...

My phone rings, I pick it up from the side table and answer the call. "Hey Cole? I didn't interrupt something important did I?" I hear Lloyd ask. I was in the middle of a book! "Not at all...what's up?" I question, closing the book and putting it on the table.

"Where in the world are you!?"

"Uh...why?"

"Well Sensei is looking for Sophie to start her training. I couldn't find either of you so I decided to call you."

"Oh oka-wait. What made you think that Sophie would be hanging out with me?"

"Well both of you had disappeared off the face of the Earth...I just assumed. Anyway, Miranda's getting stressed out for some reason, no wait it's because she can't see her niece in front of her. What do you think she's hiding? Or even what happened when they were kidnapped? My mom's been on edge too. Both of them have been whispering to each other a lot and won't even talk to Sensei about it."

"Are you gonna continue? Or...do you want me to show up?"

"Nah just get here, quick." With that, the call ended and I get up. "I just got a call from Lloyd. Sensei's looking for you so let's go," I say and head towards the door. "Aw, right at the good part," Sophie says and follows.

I lift up multiple boulders with my hands. "C'mon drop more!" I yell to the top. "Alright! You asked for it!" Jay's echo comes down. Multiple rocks fall onto the pile and in a blink I'm buried under rocks. That was NOT what I meant! Making just enough room for me to squeeze through, I crawl out. "Must you do that every time?" I growl softly. "Hey you gotta be prepared! What if we're all under some giant man's foot? He keeps on adding pressure and you need to keep his foot from crushing all of us! So I'm actually helping you, although it doesn't look like it's working for you," Jay yells. "Okay well what if I'm unconscious or not there? Who's gonna save you guys from a giant man's foot?" I question. "It could be a girl," Nya huffs. They all make their way down to my level on the hill. "Yeah but we've only faced guy villains..." Kai's voice trails off. I squint my eyes to see down below. Down there, Sensei Wu and Sophie were training. I can't see anything from up here though.

"Why don't we have pizza tonight?" Lloyd asks. "Well is it your night to cook?" Kai questions. Lloyd shakes his head, no. "Exactly. It's Jay's turn to cook," Kai replies. I lean onto a rock, when I feel it sliding away from me. The rock falls off, I turn around to see that it's heading straight down. "That's headed straight for Sensei and Sophie!" Nya points out. "Quick do-" but the rock already disappeared from sight. Sensei's strong, he can pull it off. Besides...they can move out of the way right? I need to be more careful! "Can we at least not just stand here and do nothing? Let's go down!" Nya urges us and starts to head down. I use my powers to use the rocks and create staircases for us to use. We all run down the steps, skipping multiple of them at a time.

We reach the ground and rush over to the ground where they were training. "Sensei!" Lloyd cries. We turn the corner to see Sophie with purple and black energy balls on her hand. "What in the name of fiddlesticks?" Lloyd questions. "Uh yeah, what he said," Jay says. "I'm an Elemental Master just like you guys!" Sophie exclaims. "But that looks just like Lloyd's..." Kai's voice trails off, clearly he's at a lost and so am I. "Is it possible that she has the same element?" Zane questions. "It's not," Nya answers. Then what in the name of cake is it? "Turns out Lloyd's element is creation not energy," Sensei Wu starts to explain. "How? I thought I lost that power," Lloyd says confusedly and summoning a green energy ball of his own. "And why is 2 colors?" I add. "You never lost it...you just haven't gotten to its level yet. It makes sense that you would have a bit of the element, but you don't have it all. As for the 2 colors...I'm not completely sure, nor can I tell you so it shouldn't matter," Sensei explains. "For starters, I can take and give energy. Along with creating my own or destroying it," Sophie adds, starting to glow a bit purple. That's crazy...but am I the only one sensing a bit of dark power or energy from Sophie...I never sensed it before...

"That's scientifically impossible!" Jay reminds us. "It's true. The first thing you learn about energy is that it can never be created nor destroyed," Zane backs up his statement. "I'm at a loss. It's just kinda hard to believe," I say. "Lemme show you," Sophie says. She starts to glow purple and then I see some purple aura leaving her and turning a light green. It heads straight to Lloyd, who's started to glow green. The glowing stops. "Wow! I feel like I can run around for miles!" Lloyd says in astonishment. "You just gave him your energy?" Kai asks. Sophie nods. "How's that even possible!?" Jay mummers to himself. "Never forget. Your powers aren't science, nor can science define what your powers can do. After all, the power goes beyond the boundaries of science," Sensei Wu reminds us all. That's still crazy...but cool! "Like the ability to create something out of nothing..." Zane mumbles. Sensei nods. Then Misako and Miranda walk in...
