Later that evening, Raven and Dominic take Kajor into the basement of the Penthouse; where they show him a gigantic computer screen.
"This is our Dragon's Den as I like to call it; it's where we have access to every Wi-Fi signal across the world, and it's untraceable." explains Dominic.
"You built this?" Kajor questioned, pointing at the monitor.
"Yeah, I even created the system that powers it." Dominic replies.
"How does it work?" asks Kajor.
"It works like a computer." Raven replies while crossing her arms.
"What's a computer?" Kajor asks with confusion on his face.
"Oh, it's a piece of thing called technology. We use this tool to save and find information." says Dominic.
"Wow, I must have missed a lot of things that happened." Kajor replies while scratching his head.
"Yeah; the invention of Disco, Duran Duran, the advancements in film, almost every President that was in the White House, you name it, it has it. Even the Kardashians, whom I don't suggest you look up." retorts Dominic.
"And what pray tell is a Kardashian?" Kajor asks with curiosity.
"The Bane of humanity, that is all you need to know!" replies Raven. Kajor then sits down in the chair, not knowing what to search for first.
"Don't worry, I have something to help you while you search. Type in, Marvin Gaye, Troubleman Album, everything you missed is jammed into one album," said Raven.
Kajor then types in the album title. and he begins to listen to the title song, while he researches the world. After a long seven hours of studying the world, Kajor comes out of the basement and he runs into Master Yuki, who is meditating in the living room area.
"Ah, Kajor. I suppose that you are all caught up on your studies?" Master Yuki asks.
"Yes, I am. To be honest, I didn't know that we were so reliant on technology." replies Kajor.
"Our world has changed, but one thing has been constant... Elementals." Master Yuki tells.
"You said that there are still Elementals on earth, how come they are hiding?" wondered Kajor, crouching down in front of Master Yuki.
"Come, let us go for a walk." says Master Yuki. Moments later, Kajor and Master Yuki take a walk throughout the streets of Miami, having a very poignant conversation.
"It's peaceful out here, isn't it?" asks Master Yuki.
"It is, very peaceful." replies Kajor.
"Well, it wasn't always like this in the past, while you were sleeping, we were dealing with a battle of our own existance. Our own kind was being hunted down, and rounded up by the CIA. Elementals and Humans have been at war with each other since then." explains Master Yuki.
"Our own kind has been killed by Humans? But, why?" Kajor wonders.
"Naturally, humans fear what they don't understand. When a new species comes along, humans naturally retaliate out of fear." Master Yuki tells him.
"So what happened in the end?" asks Kajor.
"A truce was formed, as long as the Elementals and Humans obeyed the law." Master Yuki reveals.
"What laws?" asks Kajor.
"Along with the laws that humans follow, there are laws that forbid human/elemental contact." explains Master Yuki.
"So they separate us, just to keep a truce?" Kajor asks.
"Yes, but you can break that chain, by defending both Humans and Elementals alike." says Master Yuki.
"And what if you have the wrong guy for the job?" questions Kajor.
"I know why I found you, if I did not have faith in you Kajor, I would not be helping you." says Master Yuki. Back at the penthouse, Raven is seen watching the beachside view, taking in the sight of the sun melting into the ocean.
"Nice view." says Trent, who walks up to Raven unannounced.
"Yeah, a view that you are interrupting, I was enjoying the sound of water going through my ears." retorts Raven.
"Well excuse me, you could have gave me a ten second notice about that." Trent takes a seat beside Raven, wanting to talk to her about Kajor and his true intentions.
"So, do you really think that this guy, Kajor, is what Master Yuki says he is?" asks Trent.
"I don't know, but we really don't have much of a choice, now do we?" replies Raven.
"Yeah, but as soon as Master Yuki tells him the truth about humanity, he may have second thoughts about joining our cause." says Trent.
"He may, but who knows?" says Raven.
Moments later, Kajor and Master Yuki arrive back from their walk, with some fresh groceries.
"Yuki, humans may fear us, but we can give them a reason not too. I want to protect this world, although I still have much to learn about it..." Kajor tells him.
"I am happy to hear that. Kajor, can you help me fix dinner for the others?" asks Master Yuki.
"Sure, I'll do what I can." says Kajor.
Several hours later, the table is littered with various amounts of food, being well prepared by Kajor. Master Yuki calls the others down and they gather around the table.
"Wow, what's the occasion?" Wonders Jordan.
"It's a celebration, for us as a family " says Master Yuki.
"Well, I'm down for that, so Master Yuki, you whipped this all up by yourself?" asks Trent.
"Not alone, Kajor assisted me." replies Master Yuki.
"It was nothing, I just thought I'd help out." says Kajor. Trent then tastes the ramen noodles that were on the table. As he tastes the noodles, he feels the spices fill his taste buds along with the savory feeling of beef flavor.
"Holy shit of a cow! This is amazing!" says Trent.
"Thanks, I try..." says Kajor.
"So Kajor, where did you learn how to basically cook?" Samantha questions.
"My mother taught me, she also trained me how to fight as well." says Kajor.
"What was she like?" wonders Raven.
"She was wise, steadfast, kindhearted and courageous. She was part of the Elemental High Counsel, and she was well respected," explained Kajor.
"Was?" asks Raven.
"Um... she died, before I was 18 years of age. I don't remember how though." Kajor says softly.
"Oh... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought that up..." apologizes Raven.
"It's okay, it's all water under the bridge, I'm focused on the here and now." says Kajor.
After the Elementals finish their dinner, they all begin to get some sleep. Kajor on the other hand walks out to the rooftops, and he begins to practice a Tai Chi exercise. Raven hears this, looking out the window and admiring his movements. She then confronts Kajor, curious about his activities.
"What are you doing?" she questions him, wiping her eyes to be clear.
"I couldn't sleep." answers Kajor.
"Those Moves you were doing, they were beautiful." Raven complimented.
"Yeah, Tai Chi is one of my base styles." says Kajor.
"You know Tai Chi?" asks Raven.
"I know over a million different fighting techniques and styles, I was trained to be a warrior." explains Kajor.
"Wow... One million different fighting techniques? Holy ever loving Jebus!" exclaims Raven, with a quiet voice.
"If you want, I can give you a lesson in it." Kajor offers.
"Um... Sure, I would love to." Raven accepts.
"Okay, stand in front of me." Raven then stands face to face with Kajor, as the moon glows in the backround, reflecting off of their skin.
"All right, so in Tai Chi, there is a basic technique, called push hands, step back with your right foot, and put your left hand on my chest. Your right hand goes on my right elbow." guides Kajor.
"Now, this is called push hands, so when I push, you yield, roll back, and then push me. We then repeat the same thing over and over." Raven begins to get the hang of it, and the two train together, while the others sleep soundly. After enjoying each others company, Raven looks into Kajor's eyes, noticing that they are not normal.
"Your eyes, I have never seen a man with such beautiful eyes." says Raven.
"Thank you... Raven." says Kajor. Raven simply smiles at Kajor and she walks away, heading back to sleep. Kajor stares at the moon, admiring it's powerful glow.
Meanwhile, a mysterious building is seen glowing in the center of a park. This building belongs to the CIA, the agency who formerly experimented on Elementals, are now reduced to peeking out for any Elemental activity. The director of the CIA for Miami, is named John Vader. When Vader comes in, he goes over to his partner and friend, Roman Langston.
"Hey Vader, come and check this out!" exclaims Agent Langston.
"What have you got for me?" asks Director Vader.
"Well, I found an anomaly in the center of Orlando, it just showed up from out of nowhere." says Agent Langston.
"Have you tried scanning it?" questions Director Vader.
"Yeah, but all I got was this purple smoke covering the land." answers Agent Langston.
"All right, I want you to go with a tactical team and investigate this. If there are Elementals there, I want to know about it!" orders Director Vader.
Agent Langston gathers a Tactical Team and they ride out in a convoy truck, to Orlando. When Langston and his team arrive in Orlando, they are surprised to see the landscape completely destroyed.
"My god, what the hell happened here?" a CIA agent says, shivering over the destruction.
"That's what we're here to find out. Spread out, but stay close. We don't know what's out here." orders Agent Langston. The team investigates the area, checking for any survivors.
"Langston, we have a live one!" shouts a CIA agent. Agent Langston makes his way over to a rock, where a pedestrian is buried underneath it's weight.
"Hang on, we're gonna get you out of there!" says Agent Langston. As the team tries to free the pedestrian, he points up towards the sky. Langston then looks to where the pedestrian is pointing.
"Ambush!" yells Agent Langston.
The team is suddenly attacked by mysterious black robed individuals, with elemental powers. The individuals slaughter the Tac-Team, leaving only Langston alive. Langston then tries to fight the leader of the group, hand to hand, but he is overwhelmed by the individual, who punches him in the chest, sending him to the ground instantly.
"Give this message to your superiors, the era of man, is at an end..." warns The Mysterious Hooded Man.
The Hooded individuals teleport away, and Langston calls for an emergency pickup, to take him back to Miami. One hour later, a rescue chopper comes in to extract Langston.
"What happened out there?" questions Director Vader, who was in the chopper.
"We were attacked, by Elementals, they were strong..." explained Langston, holding his damaged arm.
"Let's get him to a hospital, ASAP!" orders Director Vader. The next morning, Kajor wakes up, next to Raven. He wonders what happened last night between them, thinking that they slept together. He abruptly gets a vision in his head, depicting individuals in black robes, laying waste to Miami.
"They're coming..." Kajor whispers to himself. Kajor quickly goes to Master Yuki, to tell him about his vision, he finds Master Yuki meditating in the living room area, with incense burning around him.
"Master, I sense a disturbance..." alarms Kajor.
"As do I, The Covenant approaches!" replies Master Yuki. Kajor then wakes everyone up, to begin training them to better their Elemental abilities. The others then meet Kajor in the living room area.
"Well guys, it's time I fulfill my promise." says Kajor.
"What's wrong Kajor?" wonders Jordan.
"I had a vision, the Covenant of Sins has emerged." explains Kajor.
"That doesn't sound good..." retorts Trent.
"Well, what do you expect us to do?" asks Shawn.
"We fight them..." replies Kajor.
"Are you crazy Kajor? We barely survived them last time. If we fight them now, they will kill us!" exclaims Raven.
"You didn't let me finish, We will fight them, after we have finished training, all of us." says Kajor.
"How long will we have to train?" questions Michael.
"One year, and then we will be ready for the Covenant, when they arrive." replies Kajor.
"Well, I have nothing better to do, what do we have to lose?" Ken asks rhetorically.
"Then let us begin." says Kajor. While the team goes to the training area, Kajor stops Raven to talk to her.
"Hey Raven. Um... Last night, did we sleep together?" Kajor asks her out of curiosity.
"Well, you were sleepling on the outside. Since it was cold outside, I brought you inside to sleep next to me. We didn't do anything extra, trust me." Raven explained to Kajor.
"Oh... Well, thanks for clearing that up." Kajor says as they both continue with the others towards the training area.
