Ghost Story ► Ninjago [REWRITING]

| XXVI | Desperate Measures

*No POV*

"It's Morro! He's in the maze, too!"

Suddenly, the ice in front of Cole shattered and he was sent back a few feet. The culprit himself had shattered it, the Sword of Sanctuary in his hand.

"All you Ninja do is talk," He pointed the sword at Jay, "Blah, blah, blah. I'll stop you from talking!"

Before he could swing the sword and chop his head off, Scarlett had pounced on him. She tightly wrapped her arms around his shoulders, dragging him backward.

"Get out of Lloyd's body!" she screamed, even trying to pry the blade out of his hand.

"You're a damn child! Get off me!"

Although with a lot of effort, as she had a tight grip on him, Morro managed to throw her onto her back. Jay didn't have a weapon, and so when his enemy's eyes landed on his, he ran like a coward.

"He's attacking an unarmed man!"

Scarlett was quick to jump on her feet, pulling out her spear. "But I'm not unarmed."

And so, she rushed after the two, her speed giving her quite an advantage. She caught up to Morro rather quickly, which was something he didn't expect.

"We're coming for you!" Kai shouted in hopes they'd hear him. Because of their running, he and Zane were now in a different section of the maze and therefore had to rely on their friends' voices to find them.

That and PIXAL. After warning Zane of his misdirection, he slid to a stop. "Not that way?"

Kai unfortunately didn't hear him, and he continued on the wrong path.

"Jay, stop running so fast!" Scarlett cried as she chucked her spear toward Morro.

"You know you can catch up!"

But as he saw it through the Sword of Sanctuary, Morro turned around for a split second and caught it like it was nothing. She skid to a stop, her eyes widening.

"So you'd go as far as to hurt him, huh?" he taunted, gripping onto the second weapon he now had access to. "Doesn't sound very loyal to me."

Before Scarlett could even try saying something back, Jay rushed forward to tackle him down. Their opponent dodged pretty quickly, but that's when Zane came charging in at full speed.

He did the same thing she did, jumping and grabbing Morro by the shoulders. While the nindroid attempted to drag him down, Morro found himself struggling as Jay ripped an icicle from the ground. He used it as a makeshift sword and the two clashed "blades".

"Get off! Why the hell do you Ninja use cheap tricks like that?"

Scarlett took notice of how the icicle grew right back when the blue ninja ripped it off. She blinked in surprise, wondering if that could be used as a tactic.

"Zane's here, but Cole, where are you?" Jay called out.

"I don't really know," the ghost responded, running through the maze. "But I'm coming!"

He arrived rather quickly, as he slipped and ended up flying right through the ice and into Morro, knocking both him and Zane down.

"Huh... why didn't I do that sooner?"

"Kai!" Scarlett shouted, rushing in to grab her spear while Morro was down. Once she did, however, he seized her by the ankle and yanked it.

She fell on her back, losing her grip on her weapon once again. Instead of going for it, he took on Cole. Another icicle flew right into his hand.
