Chapter 1: Welcome to the jungle part 1

Okay I am a bit stuck on overdrive so I am going back to it later. I have decided that she is the white snow leopard ranger. Technically Dom is the rhino ranger so it should be all right. I did not want her orange again.

*Force of a snow leopard*

Courtney's POV:

I am sat with seven others as we prepare. Being at the academy for two months it shocked me when I was picked to enter a tournament of sorts.

I hear two people besides me speaking.

"Theo!!" I hear the blonde woman say to a Asian boy. "What is going on?"

"Lily," the Asian who I gather is Theo replies. "No talking."

"Lighten up," is Lily's reply. "We've been sitting here since last night."

"Just try and enjoy the silence," Theo suggests.

"I hate silence," Lily says and I try not to smile.

I notice that the master of this academy, Master Mao has appeared on the stage. I only met him a little while ago but he is a good mentor.

Someone hits the symbol. All eight of us get to our feet.

"Hey Theo," Lily says as she looks at her butt. "Did my butt get up with me? I can't tell. I'm numb."

We all bow to our master.

Master Mao walks towards us.

"You are the eight finalists," he says to all of us. "I'm looking for four."

He claps his hands.

I face a young woman with black hair. We bow. I stand in fighting stance and so does she.

"Begin!!" Master Mao orders us.

We move towards each other. I block her punch and aim one of my own. She blocks it and I duck as she goes to kick me. Aiming to knock her off balance I aim for her leg. She jumps over my foot. Moving back from her I continue to defend myself as I look for an opening. Finally finding one I kick her back.

I begin to glow white and my animal spirit appears. She races towards my opponent and knocks her to the ground with a swipe of her paw.

I walk forwards and help the woman to her feat. We smile at each other.

"Nicely done," she says to me.

"You too," I reply.

"Jarrod, Lilly, Theo, Courtney," Master Mao calls us and I turn to look at him. "Join us in the great hall this evening."

I smile as we all bow our respects. Then the symbol is hit to show that this has ended.

I move off but I do not get far when I hear Jarrod and his big mouth.

"Wheres my towel?" He demands from one of the younger students. "Cub, go get me a towel. Move it!! Thats a direct order from a senior student."

He knocks the kids basket over. Before I can intervene another new student speaks up.

"Here's a towel," he says and sure enough he has one in his hand.

Jarrod takes the towel and gives the young man a dirty look. "Look, I don't want any problems."

"Too bad," is Jarrod's reply. He shoves the man back and he hits the table. The young man looks angry. "Oh is little cub gonna do something?"

The man suddenly yells. The yell turns into a roar and Jarrod goes flying back.
