Wu Wu's p.o.v.

Sitting on the steps of the airjitzu temple, I watch the ninja as they train. I'm six years old, mama and daddy has trained me, my brother and sissy since we were a year and a half.

I get up, determination in my step. Going to the center of a training spot, I begin doing the movements mama showed me. He says I have uncle Wu, the man I'm named after, powers. The power of creation. Well, time to see if I do.

I mimick the training the training course

'Over the planks'
Speckles start to surround me
'Dodge the swords'
They swirl around my legs, going up
'Here comes the...dummy'

A golden tornado surrounds me. The ninja stop, all looking in shock as I finish. Looking to the sky, I do more movements and great-uncles dragon forms, curling around me.

I hoopand holler with joy, pride filling me. 'Are you watching, uncle, I'll make you proud.' I think.

' You already have, my nephew." I hear uncle. A smile comes to my face. 'Just hold on, mama, we're coming.

(The Attack)

Sensei Lloyd's p.o.v

'I will baby, I will wait.' I think as I dunk a helmet in the water. I'm back in the shop, helping Ray and Maya. I decide to do something. Looking to Ray and Maya, their not looking.

Using my power over metal, I make a design in the metal. It's near Ray's stamp but only a trained eye can see it. I put it on the stack just in time as the door opens.

Acronix walks in, grabbing the chain and I'm lead out. This is getting old. But, I bite my tongue, just buying my time. The new vermilion go out and I see one has the helmet I made.

I'm lead back to the warehouse, I sit near the table Cyrus works at. Krux hooks the chain to the hook on the wall. I lay my hard back, closing my eyes and listen to what's going on.

I get up, unhooking the chain. Walking out, I go down the path Krux told me to walk down. The vermilion leave me alone for fear of Krux's anger.

I see movement, a black dragon flies overhead. It's almost lost in the darkness of the trees. I come back, Krux picking his head up than putting it back.

"How long has it been." I ask, hooking the chain. Krux doesn't answer at first so I just sit down. "Its been four days." Krux answers as Acronix brings food and water.

I take my share, nodding in thanks. Eatting, I look over at Cyrus. He didn't get food. Hiding the roll, I push my plate to Acronix who pucks it up and the brothers leave.

Calling Cyrus, he looks up. I toss the roll and he eats it. I lean back as the brothers and Machia walk in. Machia goes to Cyrus, she starts sniffing. "He's been given food." Machia says.

'Fuck.' I thought. "Well, don't look at the three of us, we are ours." Krux said from his table. Machia looks at me, I put on my poker face. "Its smells of bread." Machia says after a minute.

"The only one of us to....." all three look at me. "Yeah it was me. Got a prob with....." Machia is on me, her hand rised to strike. I strike faster.

Lightning shoots from my hand, she falls apart as the time brother's look in shock. 'Welp, there went to element of surprise.' I think.

"You have vengestone chains on, how the hell can you use your element. And on top of that, use the element of lightning when yours is energy." Krux growls.

He comes over, grabbing my chin in an iron grip. I claw at his hand as his nails dig in. Krux leans in close, breath hot in my face.

"How..." and shivers run down my back.

'Morro, anybody, save me. Please' is all I think.
