**Ultimate Potential** is the 2nd episode of Milo's Adventures: Spinjitzu Club, and 15th episode overall in Legends of Ogaji.

The original episode was written in 2013 but was rewritten in June 2020 for this wiki.

## Synopsis

**Original:***Junior struggles with controlling his powers and attempts to find out if Boas is who he says he is.*

**Revised:** The Spinjitzu Club starts off on a rocky start, as Spinjitzu is a difficult martial art to master, and because of the mistrust between several of the club's members. The Club's first mission arrives, an attack on the sea side village of Mare— While the heroes are unable to work together to make a plan, Junior also struggles with controlling a new and bizarre power!

## *Ultimate Potential*

For the past week, training in the art of Spinjitzu has been a difficult task for Jackson and Junior. While trying to master this new skill, they were also tasked with getting along with their new "teammates."

First of all, there's their sensei Boas, who Junior likes quite a bit. Jackson still feels uneasy around him, believing that there may be some bad still left in him from when he was a part of Bamos' Army.

Then there was Mojo Robins, a disgraced member of the Desert Royal Family who's out seeking justice for the man who murdered his parents.

Jackson watches Mojo train one-on-one with Boas and notes that he isn't that agile.

"Maybe he's new at this stuff." Junior points out.

"Yeah, but think about it, what sort of prince can't even defend himself from someone your size?" Jackson says crossing his arms.

And finally, there's Robert Nevican, the man who looks like a yeti. As far as our heroes know, this man has lost all the memories of his past, but he joined the Club due to his sense of justice and desire to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

One day, Junior is training with Jackson alone.

"I just can't do it! My legs are too small!" Junior whined.

Jackson narrowed his eyes and said, "watch this," then proceeded to whirl into a shimmering tornado of fire.

"I just don't get how you're so good at it!" Junior whimpered.

Suddenly, Robert barges in on their training session, "Sorry to interrupt you—" he says.

"Get out Robert we're training here!" Junior yells.

"Err, sorry, but Boas says we've got our first mission..." Robert says and leaves the room.

Junior looks at Jackson with a gleam in his eyes. Their first real mission!

The two of them enter the main room of Boas' apartment and find a mangled radio sitting on a table in the center of the room.

"Uhhh, so Mojo kind of stole this from a police cruiser, but hey don't worry, we're only borrowing it..." Boas said nervously.

Mojo chuckled as he leaned back in a chair putting his feet up on the table, "oh yeah, we're only borrowing it... But hey, the ends justify the means, right? There was an attack in the Village of Mare down in the south. Y'all down?" he asks.

Robert nods, and Junior looks at Jackson with the same light in his eyes. It's been so long since either of them have done any hero work.

"Let's go!" he says enthusiastically.

"Right then," Boas says, "to get there, we're gonna need speed! The village is 1,609 kilometres away— no worries, I've got just the thing! Let's go!"

Boas leads the rest of the club out of his apartment and down the stairs to the parking garage.

"For a man who only recently became free, he has a surprising amount of stuff..." Junior says to Jackson.

The parking garage is pitch black, but only momentarily, before Boas turns the lights on to reveal only two vehicles parked there.

Junior's eyes light up, "Woah!!!!!!" he runs over to the first car— or truck for that matter. As big of as a monster truck, the first vehicle is around 9 feet tall with a bright orange paint job and a lion's head in the front of it.

"This is so cool!!!" Junior says running around the truck. He chuckles as he puts his arm inside the lions mouth, pretending to get eaten.

Jackson rolls his eyes, "good grief..." he says with a small smile, slightly embarrassed by his friend.

"That sure is one sweet ride there, Boas..." Mojo says observing the truck.

"Isn't she a beaut'? The dealer sold it to me for super cheap cause nobody else wanted to buy it– isn't that neat?" Boas says revving up the engine.

"Woah!!" Junior yells in excitement.

Mojo strokes his chin surveying the truck. On its sides are fire decals and small paint chips near the tires, "Could use some work though..." Mojo says softly.

Meanwhile, Robert is interested in the second vehicle, "what's this one, Boss?" he says.

Boas hops out of the lion truck and puts his hand on Robert's shoulder, "first of all," he says, "the name's Boas, and that there is my pride and joy! I built her myself, see!" he hops into the front seat of the vehicle.

Junior turns his attention to Boas' second car and the light in his eyes fades and he crosses his arms, "uhhh what the heck is that?"

"That looks... unsafe." Jackson says.

The car in question is an amalgam of several other car parts, painted sloppily with a red and white checker pattern. There are no doors, windows, or a roof, but it appears to have a tail and wings. at the end of the "tail" is two torches to light up the back.

"Isn't she magnificent?! I call her... Magnolia...!" Boas says thoughtfully.

Wide-eyed, Junior stares aghast at this Frankenstein car that Boas has shown them, "it looks great..." he says, lying through his teeth.

Boas smiles at Junior, showing off his sharp teeth, "then what are we waiting for! Let's go save a village!"

The five of them board Magnolia, and Boas starts the car. It rumbles and shakes for a moment, before taking off abruptly. After they exit the parking garage, Boas presses a bright red button, and the car shoots off into the sky!

"HOLY SHIT" Junior cries as the five of them fly through the air at ridiculous speeds.

Even though regular car travel would take more than 15 hours, it takes Magnolia 15 minutes!

The group arrives at the Village of Mare, a port town by the water. They exit the vehicle and find thugs attacking the villagers and looting seaside shops.

"Ok heroes, let's do our thing!" Boas says, and the five of them run into action. Junior is still queasy from the ride...

Robert goes into a shop and tries to disarm a mugger, but Mojo enters a few moments later and pushes him out of the way, before the both of them and pushed out a window and are knocked flat on their face.

Boas runs down the pier trying to evacuate people, but because of his appearance, he only causes more panic, and the villagers start throwing fruit at him.

"This sucks!" Jackson says using his fire to knock out a mugger, which accidentally ignites over one of the houses.

"What are you doing you freaking idiot, you're gonna burn the village down!" Junior yells.

Jackson tries to put the fire out in a frenzy, but with the chaos going on around him, it's of no use, and the fire continues to spread.

"This *sucks*! None of us have the power to put out this damn fire!" Jackson yells.

Meanwhile, Boas stands amid the calamity and watches as people scurry away carrying their valuables, and looters take what doesn't belong to them while the fire Jackson started continues to spread.

"No..." he says, "No, this isn't how it's supposed to be! We trained, we're all supposed to be heroes!"

"Becoming a well oiled team doesn't happen overnight, dude! God, we were *way* in over our head to think we could do this!" Jackson says evading falling debris.

"This is... so bad..." Junior falls to the ground in anguish, "without Milo... we're nothing..." he continues to sulk. Suddenly, he hears a cry from Jackson—

"Junior!" Jackson yells as flaming debris are about to fall on top of him!

"*Jackson!!!!!"* Junior gets up and sprints towards his friend, as he thinks *I'm not fast enough!*

Junior closes his eyes as he runs and focuses— then spins into a whirling tornado of golden energy, saving Jackson just in time!

"Wh— dude! You finally did it...!" Jackson exclaims as Junior exits the Spinjitzu tornado.

"I feel... awesome!" Junior says, as his eyes turn into a shining gold color. He is shrouded with energy, but instead of the usual green, it's gold! His face begins to melt in the Golden Energy, as he becomes one with this new power he's unlocked.

"What is this...? Some sort of ultimate True Potential?" Jackson asks, "you must have unlocked it because you had to save me... how sweet..."

"Whatever it is," Junior says with a smirk, "I'm gonna use the shit out of i!" with his newfound power, Junior floats into the air and zooms around the village to save as many people as he can. He helps Robert and Mojo up, and almost barely saves Boas from an attacker.

"In all my years... I've never seen someone with this much power..." Mojo says astounded.

Junior then flies up to the top of the village and uses his Golden Power to put out the flames, and subdue the thugs. He falls to the ground, exhausted, before Jackson catches him.

"Look at that! We have our own superpower on our team!" Boas says triumphantly.

Jackson holds a fainted Junior in his arms, "yeah," he says, "but he's super worn out now... That probably took a lot out of him... The gold has faded from his face."

"But..." Robert approaches Junior and pulls at his ninja gi, "he still has gold clothes... how did he change clothes?"

"I dunno... this new power is a mystery to me..." Jackson says.

"Whatever the case, we saved the day! Sure, we started out kinda rough, but we did good! Alright boys, let's pack it up for the day...!" Boas gives Jackson a hearty pat on the back and turns to the car with Mojo and Robert.

Junior jostles in Jackson's arms, "did we do it?" he asks, "did I save everyone?"

Jackson smiles, "yeah buddy, you did it..."

## Author's Notes

* The thugs attacking Mare were originally characters from the Lord of the Rings that somehow entered Ogaji? I can't remember it all, but I'm also pretty sure one of them stayed in the club for a little while and had a whole arc fleshed out but I remember NONE of it, so it's cut... lol
* Mare is named after the Italian word for ocean, which is mare! The village didn't have a name until 10 seconds ago when I made it up, so, yeah.
	+ It's also based on the seaside village that was made into two Lord of the Rings sets, hence why the LotR characters show up at all.

* The whole village on water thing was basically just me using all the LEGO sets I had on me at the time as part of the story. It made for interesting plot points but also doesn't happen all that often.
