I wasn't exactly sure how, but I knew things were going to change. At this point I was going to enter the life of an elemental again, fighting for the greater good like before. I wasn't going to get out of it, because they always say: There's no going back. I believed that so I wasn't even thinking about it, I didn't even want to. "I really appreciate this," I admitted to Wu as we continued walking, and added "I mean it. You offered to help me, and I couldn't thank you enough for that, trust me."

"No need to thank me, I thought that it could help you. Plus, I did tell your mother that I owed her after she saved me once. So this is how I plan on repaying her, by helping you," once he brought it up, I wondered what he meant by 'after she saved me'. I never knew that she saved someone, let alone Wu. "I would have done it even if I didn't. She was a close friend, and it is good that I'm able to aid her daughter."

I smiled "That's good to know," it was, and it was interesting to know that he once helped my mother. I never really learned about who my mother had known and fought beside, it was exciting to actually get to meet one. I wasn't sure who else was among those people, but knowing of one them was good enough. They were someone I could trust, if my mother. "Sounds like the two of you were friends. What about the other's descendants? You had to have known them too, right?" I questioned. It only made sense that he did because they all fought in the fight against the Anacondrai.

He nodded "Some of them, yes. I knew the ones of Kai, Cole, and Lloyd. We were all great friends, I'll tell you that," it always amazed me to learn about past Elemental Masters. It was hard to believe how long ago that was, and to think, this generation of masters has been around for a while, some more than others. I didn't know anything about ones before them, since I've never known anyone who did that could tell me. There had to be some, thought, it couldn't just start with the previous ones. He added "Just as good of friends as they are now."

"I would like to have a friendship with some of the other Elemental Masters like they do, or you did with some back in the day," I bet that it would be fun to befriend some of them, it would just mean that I'd have some people to train with. The spars I had with the others was really fun, I hadn't had felt a rush in battle like that in a long time. Going up against a fellow Master sure proved to be a challenge compared to a fight with a non-elemental.

"Well," he stopped and turned to me "If you get along with them, I think that you can gain friendships like they share with each other."

"That would be nice."

We finally made it back to the guys and Nya, who were all back at the training place we all sparred at. I saw them training themselves, Kai with Zane, Cole with Jay, while Nya and Lloyd were training alone. "I've got something to tell you all," Wu spoke up, getting their attentions. As Jay turned to look at him, he got hit with a rock that Cole had kicked in his direction. I couldn't help but laugh a little at the cry he made, it sounded like those cat noises in movies as if it was getting his with something, which never ceased to get a laugh out of me.

"What is it, Sensei?" Kai wondered what the others probably were as well.

"I've been talking with Cass," Wu told them, gesturing to me. For some reason, I started to get nervous as to what they were going to think about what he was about to tell them. It was certainly a big change for everyone, but were they willing to work around the change? "I know that the team has been thinking about getting a new addition, but never came around to it after the tournament. I put some thought into it, and I think that it would be best if she joins for a bit, if not permanently."

"What?" We all were shocked. I had just talked to him, but he never brought anything up about it, all I knew was that I was going to train with them for a little while. Joining their team, that was a whole different story. Where did he even get the idea from anyways? I was pretty sure that they wouldn't be as open to that idea as they would to the other one, if they were at all. I was even more doubting that they'd agree to that then they would then with me just training with them.

They all looked at me, but then back to Wu. "What makes you think that?" Zane questioned him, basically taking the words about that out out of my mouth. If he hadn't asked him it first, I would have done it myself. I really wanted to know why he thought that, just as much as the others were probably wanting at the moment.

"Like I said, you guys were thinking about adding someone to the team, and I think she is just what you guys need," whoa, he really thinks that I'm what they need? And exactly how is that? "From what I can tell, she's a lot like her mom, and I know that she will work well with the five of you, and you with her."

"Plus, she's the only one with a main element," Jay claimed. He wasn't wrong about the main element part, but that didn't mean was a reason for me joining their team. I mean, the other elementals were just as good as me when it came to powers, so there wasn't exactly a difference there.

Wu coughed. "Anyways, I'm not going to force it, it's up to the six of you. If all of you are okay with it, then it will happen."

We all shared looks, until Kai pitched in. "I actually think it's a great idea. We have been talking about adding someone to the team, so why not her? Seeing her fighting, I think she's be great. She'd be a good addition to the team."

"I do have to admit, I think it'd be great too," Jay nodded in agreement, same with Zane.

"Yeah, I agree too. It wouldn't hurt, so why not?" Lloyd said as well.

"As the leader, I think that it's a good idea too. Like Kai said, we've been talking about adding someone to the team, and she is a good fighter," He turned to me "All that's left is for you to agree, then you'll be an official member of the team."

I looked at them, a little glad that they were cool with it. I still thought that they wouldn't, but they were, the complete opposite of what I was thinking. "Uh," I started, not sure what to say. "Why not? There's no harm in it, and I wouldn't mind. Honestly, I think it'd be pretty cool," I smiled, creating a small gust of wind in my hand "Say hi to: Cass, the Ninja of Wind!" They others laughed a little as I let the wind die down.

Jay gave me a pat on the back "Nice to have ya, Wind Ninja," he joked as well. I felt better to know that they were all accepting of me at first, and didn't reject me. "Let me warn ya, you're in some for some crazy if you're gonna train with us," he laughed.

Zane nodded "I second that."

I couldn't help but laugh a little myself. "Can't wait to see what it has in store," I admitted, I really couldn't. I had only been there for about an hour, and things have already gotten crazy. I could tell that things would only get better, and maybe I've gained some new friends. Who am I kidding, of course I have, there was no doubting it. "And on my end, things can get pretty crazy as well."

"We'll see," kai spoke up. Oh boy, they had no idea what they were getting themselves into. Like I've said, when I want to, I can be pretty powerful. When I was sparring with them, I wasn't exactly giving it all that I got because I didn't want to hurt them. But now that we were all chill, I wouldn't feel as bad about going all out on them. "Anyways, if you're gonna be a part of the team and train with us, you're really going to have to commit to it."

"That wouldn't be a problem."

"That includes coming here full time and everything," Lloyd informed me.

It took a second to process what he had said until it made sense. They expected me to stay there and everything, as in leave my sister back in Jamanakai Village. "Oh," I scratched the back of my neck, I should have seen that coming. God, what was she going to think about all of of this? I completely forgot about her and that she would have an opinion about all of this. She'd probably tell me not to do it and stay with her, I would say the same thing if were her. But I need to do this, I want to do it. I cleared my throat, and told them "That's fine, if it means I get to train with you guys."

Cole cracked a half smile "That's great. You still need to get stuff from you house, right? One of us can bring you to get it."

"Why don't you do it, Cole? You were the first one that met her, so why don't you?" Kai suggested.

"Sure, why not?" Cole agreed. How did they expect to get me back to my house, unless we walked like I did to get there? It wouldn't make a difference if someone came with me, but I nodded in agreement to their plan because they offered. I couldn't turn them down on their offer. "Come on," he said as he started to walk away.

I looked at the others before jogging to catch up to him. "So, how we gonna get to my place?" I questioned.

"You'll see," he told me.

I raised an eyebrow at him "Okay then," we walked outside to the monastery's courtyard. Was he seriously expecting us to walk? I looked over at him to see what he was planning on doing, and froze when he summoned a dragon. I jumped back a little, startled "Whoa, what is that?" I stept forward and got a better look at it. It was brown and it's skin seemed to resemble earth. Why did it look like his element?

He looked down at me from the things neck, or back, I couldn't really tell from down on the ground. "It's my elemental dragon," he told me. Elemental Dragon? Okay, so there were things that I didn't know, and that was something I wanted to learn. "You coming or what?"

"Oh," I snapped out of my quick moment of being lost in my thoughts (being jealous of the dragon) and looked up at him. "Yeah," I jumped up onto the Dragon's back and grabbed onto the closest thing I could find to hold on to. "If I fall, it's your fault," I joked.

Cole laughed a little. "Don't worry, you're not gonna fall," Before I knew it, we were already on the way back to my house, in Jamanakai Village.
