 Kai huffed as we all stood on our own tiles. " I can make it. It's just a hop, skip, and a jump." Kai tried to use Airjitzu again but the tiles under him fell so he had to crawl back."But what else comes with a hop, skip, and a jump? You trigger one more trap, I don't know how much more we can take." Cole was down with this shit. 

"The clue clearly said this is a test a Spinjitzu Master cannot do. So why are we not listening to the clue!?" Jay questioned. " It's because yall have smooth brain!" I shout back.

" Trust me, I can make it." "Wait." Cole stopped Kai " What if it's a trick? What if the reason we can't do it is because we were never meant to reach the staff? What is the first rule of being a ninja?" . " A ninja never quits." Zane answered. " Exactly, and that's why we can't do it. Because a ninja would never give up."

" What are you trying to say? We just quit? Are you insane?" Kai questioned Cole. "This time, trust me." Cole jumped off his tile and we all shouted his name. "Whoo-hoo! Haha! Come on down and enjoy the ride!" Cole shouted back after some time. " He's alive!" Zane jumped down after him and the rest of us followed with.

We fell into a large slide and it was honestly pretty fun but terrifying. " Try to stay together!" Kai shouted but that wasn't happening. We kept getting tossed around like a damn salad. I was getting dizzy and felt like throwing up. Finally we all made it onto the same slide but it led us to a dead end.

We all hung onto an icicle but slipped off. We continued to slide down and Kai and Jay used small icicles as skis. We eventually burst through a wall of ice and landed in some snow. We were now in the third test. " Is everyone ok?" Zane asked as we got up. " What did we get ourselves into?" Kai questioned as I totally didn't throw up in a corner. I'm sorry First Spinjitzu Master but it's your fault honestly.

Jay climbed up a wall and saw it was a maze. " It's a maze! I'm great at mazes!" Jay shouted. " Yeah but those are video game mazes!" I tease before noticing something moving beside me. I turned around and saw my reflection. But I was older. My hair was longer and styled differently. I had a few scars and was, ahem, bigger in an area. AHEM. Sorry something in my throat. I did notice something on my finger though.

 It was a wedding ring. The band was a beautiful silver with dragon wings near the crystal. There were what looked to be horns holding the crystal in place. The ring had small little engravings in it but I couldn't see them that well in the ice. 

I teared up a bit looking at the ring. I looked at my own hand before looking at the ice once again. I noticed something coming closer to my reflection and my heart melted seeing Lloyds face. He was so very handsome. Aging really did him good like damn boy did you just come out of the oven because you are hot! Lloyds hair was also longer and fully swept to the side instead of the small swish he had now.

 His forest green eyes holding so much love, care, and pain inside them. He held my reflections hand and also had a wedding ring on. It was similar to mine which confirmed that we're going to get married in the future. I wipe my teary eyes, happy with my future. Thank you First Spinjitzu Master for showing me this. I swear I'll get your grandson back soon. He will safe once again.

" If my reflection means anything, I'm starting to think we won't be breaking out of this maze any time at all." Kai said as he looked at his reflection. "My reflection. Is that...me? I look older, but our attire is different. I don't believe these reflections reveal our inability to escape, but a mere glimpse of our future selves." Zane corrected.

"Misako said To move forward, don't look ahead. Is that what it means? Wait a minute, why is it I can't see my reflection? Where is my reflection?" Cole was concerned. "It's probably because you're a ghost." Kai stated blankly as Zane led Cole to another part of the Ice Labraiyth. "Ghosts cast reflections, Kai. He's probably just looking in the wrong place." " I am looking at the same place you are." Cole said back.

"Hey, guys, guess what. I get an awesome eyepatch! And there's something else." Jay gasped when he saw Nya walking over to him in his reflection. "What, Jay? What is so great that you see that I clearly cannot?" Cole wasn't too happy to see no reflection. " I end up with Nya." Jay muttered to himself. "N-nothing. Just an eyepatch." He told all of us.

"Wait a minute, I think I see me." Cole mentioned and took a closer look. But that wasn't him. " It's Morro! He's in the maze too!" Cole shouted before the ice broke as Morro broke in. "All you ninja do is talk. Blah, blah, blah. I'll stop you from talking!" Morro's words dripped with venom as he swung at Jay. Jay ran away screaming. " HE'S ATTACKING AN UNARMED MAN!" 

" We're coming for you!" Kai shouted as him, me, and Zane ran to save Jay. Pixal told Zane that we were going the wrong way. Me and him changed paths since Kai was too far ahead. I tackled down Morro before he was able to hit Jay. Jay broke off an icicle to block Morro as I tried to pull or push him down. "Zane and (Y/n) are here, but Cole, where are you?" Jay questioned.

"I don't really know. But I'm coming!" Cole went through a wall and collided with Morro. Pushing me off of him. "Huh, why didn't I do that sooner?" Cole questioned himself. Morro got off and tried to attack Cole. Cole grabbed an icicle to block Morro's sword but as they fought, Morro looked into the blade to be able to block Jay's sneak attack.

Jay tried to fight Morro but slipped a bit. The two of them fought before Zane came in and shifted the focus to him. The two fought some more and was able to get Zane down. Morro laughed and tried to hit Zane but I blocked the blade.  The four of us kept trying to stop Morro as Kai came up with a plan.

Morro knocked us down with mind and Kai stepped in. " Come on! Catch me if you can!" Kai taunted. He led Morro to a pile of icicles, trapping him because each time he cut them, they grew back. Morro and more grew around him. "You can't trap me. I'll find you, ninja. Just wait, you'll see!" Morro glared at us. 

I pulled down on my eye and stuck my tongue out before calling him some bad words in the Stone Warrior language. "Quick, how do we get out of here?" Jay asked and Cole repeated the "To move forward, don't look ahead" clue. "Don't look ahead. Look below!" Jay figured out. We looked down and saw a light. We dug through the ground and fell through the hole. 

" What? What is it?" Jay questioned as we got up and walked around. He came upon a skeleton holding the Realm Crystal. " It's him. The First Spinjitzu Master." Kai panted and we bowed.  " The Realm Crystal." Zane whispered and looked at us. We all nodded at him and Zane took the crystal. " How does it work?" Kai asked.

" How it works is you'll hand over the Crystal, or say goodbye to your friend."
