Ghost Story ► Ninjago [REWRITING]

| XXX | Versus Morro

   *No POV*

     Scarlett turned her head back for a second to face the green ninja, giving him a small nod. Go destroy the crystal.

     Even with no way to read her mind, he knew she was distracting Morro. Getting to the crystal would be easier now. As long as he didn't see him, of course.

     When Morro's head turned slightly, Scarlett took his chin and forced him to look at her. "Eyes over here, wannabe." With a strong shove, he ended up on his back.

     Lloyd took the chance to sneak under the roof while he was down. The door glowed a bright blue and without hesitation, he entered.

     Morro got to his feet, merely grinning her way. "You know, the green gi is mine, now." He held up Lloyd's mask, which he had taken from Nya.

     Scarlett gripped the lance tightly. Her head lowered just a bit as she glowered. "You are not the Green Ninja. If you want to get to Lloyd, you'll have to get past me."

     He laughed at her sudden confidence. "That's cute, but you think I'm gonna make this easy on you? If you think you're all that, let's see how good you really are!"

     Now he was really fighting. Of course, the Sword of Sanctuary gave him the upper hand and she'd have to use cleverness to beat him.

     She jumped over the small wind attack that came her way, rushing forward with lance in hand. There wasn't too much space on the rooftop, so she'd use what she had.

     "Where is Lloyd, anyway?" Morro taunted, seemingly trying to get under her skin. He easily blocked her hit, now trying to knock the weapon out of her hands. "Wouldn't he be here right now, helping you fight me?" Scarlett didn't answer him.

     But that did raise the question—where was he? Morro looked around, and Scarlett took the open opportunity to punch him in the jaw before once again pushing him onto the ground.

     Unfortunately, that allowed him to see that the true Green Ninja was nowhere in sight—and the door to the shop was wide open.

     "He's going to destroy the crystal!" Morro shouted with widened eyes. "Stop him!"

     Scarlett tried kicking the sword out of his hand, but before anything happened, he forced his hand down where a large wind gust lifted the entire shop.

     This caused her to fall over, losing her lance in the process. Bits and pieces of the other houses broke off, rising as well.

     A few ghosts attempted to enter the now floating shop, but water and magic both disintegrated them. Now that Scarlett took Nya's place fighting Morro, the water ninja was able to help Red take out the ghosts that attempted to stop Lloyd.

     Though the poor ninja couldn't even stand up. The floating shop that never stopped moving made the crystal drop and roll as soon as he picked it up.

     "Come on!"

     Scarlett wasn't doing any better. With an unstable ground, Morro found it easier to just keep sending wind gusts her way.

     Despite dodging many, one finally hit her right in the chest. It practically flipped her off the rooftop and if she didn't grab onto one of the floating squares, she would have fallen. She used her other hand to grab the lance that was about to roll off.

     "Scarlett!" Red called out to his sister.

     The squares were extremely unstable, unfortunately. She quickly forced the weapon to change into a knife, where she stabbed the blade into the square to give herself some way to stand up on it. As soon as her feet were planted, her weapon once again became a lance.
