"Chi is the energy that flows through everything. Life itself is full of Chi. Harnessing that chi is how you find out who you truly are inside. First you must clear your mind. The movements I have taught you will help you draw the chi from the earth." - Niki's Master
"now think about your element. Concentrate." Niki repeats the words of her mentor to the ninja as they attempt honing their chi in order to find their element. She watches on as the boys carefully copy every move she taught them. Zane gets his glow from the previous night and it sticks this time. "Perfect you're doing a fantastic job Zane."
Kai is still having difficulty with his balance and is conflicted finding it difficult to empty his mind.
Niki notices Kai is struggling and she walks over to him. "Kai?"
Kai pouts. "what? Am I doing it wrong?"
"no." Niki shakes her head. "but maybe you should take a break. There is such thing as trying too hard."
Kai is about to tell her that he'll do whatever he pleases, but upon noticing Zane, he changes his mind and decide to take a break. "whatever."
Jay and Lloyd manage to also get sparks as they move about in line.
It is then that Cole smirks with his eyes still shut. "I feel it. it's there."
"once you have your element you must try to produce it." Niki says. "think about your element and then let it out."
The group seem to get just minor glows and sparks but nothing real impressive happens. Kai on the other hand is upset because with his arm broken he feels useless. This only made worse by the fact that he can't even train properly. He decides to try finding his element his own way and goes back to staring at the fire pit like he did the night before.
Niki on the other hand realizes that Zane is very close to reaching his element so she takes a small shell from the ground and throws it at Zane. It bounces off his head and lands back in the sand.
When Zane looks around to see what hit him he doesn't see anything out of the ordinary. "hu maybe just a bug?" he shrugs and continues working on drawing out his element.
"tune out all distractions. Once you have mastered that the rest will come easier." Niki says looking over the others.
Lloyd who already has the ability to manifest his power and summon them is doing the training for fun, but also to hone the skill so that he doesn't have to try so hard to use it. His hand sparks and the line of electricity like energy follows Lloyd's movement along his arm. At this point Niki throws a shell at Lloyd causing him to break focus. He immediately starts looking around for the thing that hit him losing his energy in the process.
"Lloyd you are doing a fantastic job but you need to concentrate. If you get distracted it'll be more difficult to use your power." Niki says.
Lloyd shrugs and moves his hands together. "I can already use my power." He forms a ball of energy and smirks. "though I will admit it comes much easier now."
"Well then I think you're ready for step 2." Niki says shifting her feet. "an enemy will not give you a chance to charge up your attack. So for the next 10 minutes I will fight you having everything but my fighting knowledge locked in a timer lock."
"hu?" Lloyd questions.
Niki's eyes click and re-open red. Without a word she charges Lloyd and the two begin a fight.
Zane, Jay, and Cole stop training to watch Lloyd and Niki.
"I didn't know you could lock your memory like that at will?" Jay mumbles to Zane.
