?S1 E7: Tick Tock (1)?

How am I supposed to gain true potential without any training?

Before you could ask, Zane beat you to it. "But how are we supposed to do that, Sensei?"

"It is up to each of you to discover," Wu answered simply. "Now I must go on a personal journey of my own."

He started to leave the room, but everyone followed him. "Where are you going?" Jay called.

"To a place you cannot follow," he answered, tone heavy.

Cole creased his eyebrows. "If you're going for Lloyd, the City of Ouroboros is filled with hundreds of Serpentine. You'll never do it alone."

Wu turned to him with a tired expression. "I am going to find someone who can be of aid. The Serpentine have united and grown stronger and we will need all the help we can get."

He then proceeded to leave the cabin, making his way to the bridge as the ninja had a few words to themselves. The story of the Great Devourer and Dad, the katana, the way he looked like he was going on a long trip... You followed your uncle, and once you were sure you were alone, you whispered, "...Are you going to find Dad?"

Uncle Wu tensed just the slightest bit before faintly smiling and ruffling your hair. "Take care of yourself, (Y/N). And the ninja too. We will find your brother."

By the time you reached the mountain, the ninja were waving off Sensei Wu as he went to find help. And although he'd never given you an answer, you were sure of what it would have been. The thought of that alone made you excited.

Dad! We're going to see Dad!

Pythor hissed irritably at the four generals as they bickered around him, still fairly angry that he'd lost the venom-born at Ouroboros. Skales piped up and said, "It sssayss nothing about where the four Fangbladesss are hidden. Have our ancesstorssss left usss nothing? Where are they!?"

"This, here," Pythor said calmly, gesturing to the table with inscriptions on it. "This must be a clue. When five fangs unite as one, the path toward the Devourer has begun."

"Yesss, when the five tribesss unite," Skales huffed exasperatedly, "We've done all thisss. It meansss nothing." He banged his staff on the ground angrily. "If you don't find out sssoon, the othersss will begin to asssk quesstionsssss, and ssoon they will sssstart to think you don't know what you are doing."

"I know what I'm doing, fool," Pythor cried angrily, looming over Skales in intimidation. "I'm trying to unleash the Great Devourer. This would have been much easier if you'd kept the venom-born by our side!"

Skales visibly shuddered at the thought of the venom-born, becoming quiet. Pythor continued, "Nevertheless, legend spoke of a map showing exactly where the four Fangblades have been buried. There must be something around here. Keep looking!"

:):

"This is stupid," you said bluntly as Nya hung up another poster onto the wall. It showed a picture of a Fangblade (drawn courteously by you) and said in bright letters, MISSING. Call ninja at 555-122091-1.

Zane sighed and shook his head in agreement. "It is silly, as (Y/N) has said."

Cole rolled his eyes under his hood, though he agreed. "You have any better ideas?"

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

You, Nya, and Kai all looked at each other at once. "The Samurai?" Kai blurted, "I'm sure she's—"
