Finally, we made it to the Bounty and Cole was having special meditation time with Sensei Wu. " Look inward. When one is a ghost, one may have new abilities. Focus and discover them." He told the ghostly Ninja. Cole focus and turned invisible then reappeared. "Whoa. Did you see me? I disappeared! I mean, did you not see me?" Cole was excited. "Very good, Cole. Only you can unlock what is truly inside. That is it for today."

" Dareth wants me to teach girls how to cook? How about I teach them how to do this?" Nya complained as she sprayed water on the sparring bots. " He's such a bitch." I told Nya as I ate a popsicle. " Not just him, everyone is. I mean like, you have been here since the start too, it's unfair that I'm treated just as good as the boys but you're not" " I know right! I can be just as good as all of you!" She sighed. 

Meanwhile, Cole walked over to Zane and Jay playing chess. " I win again." Zane smiled as he beat Jay. "Ah, Minidroid Chess. So what's the tally now? A hundred games to none?" Cole laughed. "Set them up, Zane. We're going again. What's got you so cheery?" Jay asked. "Remember back in the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master, when we all saw the reflection of our future selves?" Cole asked.

"You mean when you couldn't see anything?" Jay raised a brow. " Yeah, it wasn't because I'm a goner. It's because I can disappear." Cole said happily. "Oh, then why don't you make like a ghost and vanish? I need full concentration." Jay looked at the chessboard. " Oh, touchy, are we? Teach him a lesson, Zane." Cole chuckled and walked away.

Zane sighed, "You still haven't told him what you saw in your future's reflection, have you?" "And ruin our friendship? No thanks. Besides, even if it were true, her mind's made up. It's never gonna happen." Jay sighed and looked back at Nya. "I was fine until I saw us together. Now it's all I think about."

" Bad day?" Misako asked, walking over to us. "You're supposed to hit them, not destroy them." Misako picked up the head of the sparring bot. "I'm a girl, but I'm also a lot of other things. But what does that matter when everyone only sees me as one thing, the new girl ninja. I mean, (Y/n)'s a girl and she gets treated like a god!" " That's... a bit dramatic." I licked off a drip off my melting popsicle.

Nya groaned, "I just wanna be given a fair shot." "Why? To make things easier? The harder it is, the more you will excel. You'll never be happy if you let the world define you. You've got to define yourself." Misako finished repairing the bots. " And maybe you'll be like (Y/n), for better or for worse. Now, again. And this time, destroy all the targets."

Nya turned to face the sparring bot but saw Jay staring at her, " What are you looking at?" She asked a bit too harshly. Jay sighed, "See? Even though it's fate, I still can't win." "Checkmate. Again. A hundred and one to zero." Zane finished their hundredth and one game. " Sensei's back, and there's trouble," Lloyd told us as he walked onto the deck.

" What is it? Have they sold out of Kai action figures? I knew there wasn't enough-" Kai said, as cocky as every as we all gathered at the bridge. Wu sighed. "No. It appears when you destroyed the Cursed Realm, one ghost escaped." Wu showed us security fortage. of Clouse, a ghost Clouse. Doesn't make him any scarier. And you know him all too well. Clouse. Security footage shows him buying a train ticket that will arrive in Stiix in just a few hours." Wu informed us.

"Clouse? The sorcerer from Chen's Island? What does he want with Stiix? That place is just a salvage yard now." Cole was confused by Clouse's motives. "That's why I want you to go there and stop whatever it is he is planning to do." Wu told us. "But Dareth wanted us to visit the hospital for that Grant-A-Wish thing." Kai reminded all of us.
