Ninjago (Book 1): Gales Of Destiny

the rise of snakes

Long before time had a name, the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago using four elemental weapons. But when he passed, a dark presence sought out to collect them all: Lord Garmadon. So I, Sensei Wu, his brother, sought out to find four ninja to collect them first.

As wu meditates, he hears fighting sounds from the ninja in another room, as he hears Kai saying.

Kai: Fire strike! Oh, my gosh, is that the greatest move you've ever seen?

Cole: Stop trying to do it yourself. We need to attack as a team.

Jay: Zane, why are you wasting your special attack on me? You have to save it.

Wu thinking that the ninja are training, goes to the training compound, but finds no one training except yuno.

Wu: yuno? I thought the other ninja were training, and why are you training? That injury still isn't fully healed.

Yuno stopped training immediately and smiled at his former master.

Yuno: sensei, if you're looking for the other ninja, they're in the other room playing video games, as for me, well...I didn't train for a long while, ever since I left the monastery, I don't remember training seriously after that, so obviously I lost a lot of my skills, so I'm training to become better than ever.

Wu: *sigh* alright, but don't be too hard on yourself or you will only hurt yourself.

Yuno: haha! Of course, thanks for your caring, sensei.

As wu left, yuno continued training, as Wu entered another room, he finds the ninja playing video games.

Jay: Fantastic, I'm out of lives!

Zane: But the lesson lives on, and I am getting the hang of it. Hee-yah!

Cole: Okay, now!

As the ninja continue with their game, Wu unplugs the television.

Ninja: aw....

Cole: Aw, man!

Jay: What? What happened?

Cole: It took us three hours to get there!

Jay: Why would you do that? Why?

Wu: Just because Lord Garmadon escaped through a vortex doesn't mean he won't return one day for the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu.

Zane: But Sensei Wu, ever since he's been gone, Ninjago has had nothing but peace.

Jay: Yeah, peace is boring. There's no one to save, there's nothing to do.

Cole: We can train tomorrow.

Wu: Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today.

Cole: Well, I was gonna eat this pizza tomorrow, so if that's the case...

Wu kicks the pizza slice off cole's hand.

Cole: ow!

Wu: No pizza for you! In order to reach your full potential, you must train!

Kai: Uh, remember when we did a little thing called the Tornado of Creation? I thought that was pretty insane.

Wu: Oh. You four have merely scratched the surface of your full potential. There are still so many secrets you have yet to unlock. You haven't even begun to tap into what powers your golden weapons hold.

As wu said that, kai's sword was shown to be burning a pizza slice.

Cole: You wanna talk secret powers? Check this out.
