"Ten minutes! He just broke his own record. The guy's inhuman!" Kai shouted as the ninja, except Y/n, are timing how long Zane can stay underwater. After some more seconds his face popped up above the water.

"amazing!" Cole cheered along with the other

"We're not worthy." Jay said.

"I broke the record?" Zane asked.

"You destroyed it!" Kai cheered.

"Okay, okay. Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking? We've been training for so long, I don't think we can get any better. Just think about all we've accomplished." Jay said and thought about the time they did train for their true potential.

"The question should be raised. Perhaps we have reached our full potential?" Zane asked and they walked to Sensei Wu.

They found their Sensei along with Y/n, who now is wearing a purple gi. "Hahaha, I do a thousand and one." Jay smirked.

"What is this, amateur hour? Sounds like my warm-up. Sensei, what does true potential look like if-" Cole started but stopped when he saw Y/n and Sensei, meditating.

"Our apologies, Sensei. We've interrupted you." Zane apologised.

Sensei Wu sighed. "I'm sorry if I've been distant lately. My mind has been elsewhere since Lloyd has gone missing. What can I help you with?" He asked and nodded to Y/n who walked away without saying a word.

"Y/n's been distant lately as well.." Jay muttered.

"Sensei, what if we've done enough training? What if we've reached our True Potential? What if we're ready?" Cole asked.

"Have you not seen it with Y/n? You might have reached peak physical condition, but you've yet to reach your inner potential. In each and every one of us, there are obstacles that hold us back. Only when you conquer that fear will your heart be free. Only then will you reach your True Potential. Only then will we have a fighting chance to stop the serpentine from releasing the great devourer."

"There's more to the Great Devourer than you've led on, isn't there, Sensei?" Zane asked politely.

After Wu told them a story.

The ninja and Nya waved Sensei Wu goodbye, as he went on his own mission. They decided to hang up poster about missing fangblade. 

"Oh, this is silly." Zane sighed.

"You have any better ideas?" Cole asked.

"Hey, maybe Sensei is gonna go get the Samurai for help." Jay exclaimed.

"The Samurai? I'm sure she's.." Kai started but got cut off by Y/n  "He means, he's busy looking for the Fangblades as well."

"Uh, is everything all right?" Cole asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, yeah. Why wouldn't it be?" Kai lied.

"Ofcourse, there's nothing wrong." Y/n smiled innocently.

"Are you sure there's nothing going on between you two?" Jay asked harshly.

"Jay, there's nothing going on, they're not hiding anything. Because then they would've told me." Nya lied along. The ninja saw Zane dropping the flyers and a man getting angry at Zane.

"I'm sorry, sir. Sometimes our friend is in another world." Kai covered for Zane.

"He's littering all over the place." The man replied annoyed.
