My name is Alexis Hanson. I'm seventeen years old. I have a brother named Josh Hanson, and a best friend named Danny. I also have a cousin named Tori Hanson. I used to have a boyfriend. A totally wonderful boyfriend named Hunter Bradley and he had a brother named Black. The thing that made us all connected was that we are ninja. I'm sitting in a helicopter as I write this. I'm going back to my ninja academy. But right now I'm gonna write down what happened to me over the last couple months. I'll start at the beginning.

Chapter 1

I hit the ground hard. Looking up, I saw Josh over me, sword at my throat. I raised my hands in defeat. Smiling triumphantly, Josh pulled the sword away and offered a hand. Taking it, he pulled me up.

"Looks like I win, again, Scarlet." he told me.

"Just keep it coming, Cobalt." I say. He just grinned at me, We've sparred against each other for years, but he's incredibly cocky. Our friend Danny came streaking up to us.

"Hey guys, hows practice?"

"Fine." I relpy. "Wern't you supposed to test the new recruits for levels or something."

"Already done. Looks like you'll have some new students Alexis." Danny smirked.

I groaned. I mean, I like when new fire students my clas level come along, really. But this also means I'll have even more people watching. Following, asking for advice, cutting into my own training time. Being a senior student at the Volcano Ninja Academy has its perks sure, but it was also a pain. Add being one of the only girls, yeah.

"Oh, and sensei wants to see us at noon." Danny said.

"That's fifteen minutes from now." Josh added.

"Really, smart one? I didn't know." I jabbed.

"Whatev Lex. I'm gonna go grab a sandwich before, wanna come?"

"Sure." Danny replied.

"No thanks. I'm gonna go make a phone call." I answered

"Suit yourself."

I headed back to her dorm room. Quite luckily, I have my own room, which included a private phone line, though I paid the bills myself.(Well not really, it was trust fund money)

"Hello?" a tired voice picked up.

"Hey girl."

"'Lexis! Hey, whats up." Tori said.

"Not much, just wanted to see what my favorite cousin was up too."

"Only cousin. And I'm heading down to the beach."

"Thought you had ninja training?"

"Not on Saturdays."

"Right. So, you going surfing?"

"Mmhmm. You?"

"You know me Tor, training every single day."

"Ugh, I don't get how your so amazing. I basically suck."

"Well, there is the fact to consider you've been doing it a few months, while I've lived here since I was five."

"Touche."

I glanced at the clock. "Hey, gotta go. I have a meeting, but talk to you soon, kay?"

"Alright. See ya."

I hung up the phone and streaked out of the room. I made it to Sensei's office just in time.

"Ahh, Alexis, nice of you to join us." Sensei said. "Let's begin."

Josh, and Danny and I stood in a straight line as Sensei sat down, not sitting themselves until he motioned them too. As you know, we have had a spy at our rival school, the Thunder Academy, for quite some time."

Of course we did. We nodded.

"He has informed me that the Thunder Ninjas have created technology for themselves. Morpher technology, to be exact." Sensei said.

"Like ours Sensei?" I asked. We all shifted as one hand made its way to the other wrist.

"Very much like yours Alexis. Why Sensei Omino wants this power is unclear, but our spy reports they were to use them to defeat their enemies."

We all shared looks.

"But, we're the Thunder Ninja's enemy." Danny said.

"You think they plan on attacking us Sensei?" I clarified.

"That is our guess. And if it's true, we must not allow them to have this power."

"Just say what we're to do." I said.

"I'm sending you three undercover. Alexis will pose as our spies daughter, and find the morpher. When she does, she will destroy them. Danny and Josh will be there solely for back up. You leave today. Sensei said as he and us students stood. "Be ready in fifteen minutes."

"Yes Sensei." we said and bowed. We shared yet one last smug smile before streaking away.
