"We're almost to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master," Zane announced, his voice calm but with a hint of excitement as he monitored the control panel. Through the thick glass of R.E.X.'s undersea vehicle, I could see the vast expanse of the ocean—schools of fish darting by, and a massive shark cruising in the distance.

"Yeah, can you believe it?" Cole replied, leaning back in his seat, glancing out at the mysterious, dark waters that stretched endlessly before us. "After everything we've been through, we're finally here."

"Can't believe I'm underwater..." Kai whimpered, clutching the armrests tightly, eyes wide. "I was fine with the fire, the mountains, the clouds... but this? I don't even know what half of those creatures are!"

"You think you're uncomfortable? Try being a ghost trapped in this thing," Cole retorted, his voice dripping with sarcasm as he tapped the glass a few times, eyeing the thick barrier nervously. "I swear, this glass feels like it's an inch thick."

"We're heading to your location now. With Morro already ahead of you, and able to foresee the traps protecting the tomb with the Sword of Sanctuary, it's going to be up to you five to find the Realm Crystal before he does." Sensei Wu's voice crackled through the speakers, clear but tinged with concern. His eyes glinted on the screen. "Stay sharp, my students."

"Heh, great," Jay chimed in, his nervous laugh echoing in the cramped space. "Cole's a ghost, Kai can't swim, and we have no magical sword or elemental powers, except for Y/n. What could possibly go wrong?"

Before anyone could respond, Misako's voice joined the fray, calm and thoughtful. "I may not know the specifics of the three tests you're about to face, but I did find a riddle that could give you some insight: 'A Spinjitzu Master can. A Spinjitzu Master cannot. To move forward, don't look ahead, to find his resting spot.'"

"Riddles. Great. So now we have to solve a puzzle before we even get to the tomb," Cole grumbled, but there was a flicker of interest in his eyes.

I stared out the window, my gaze locking onto something massive approaching us from the depths—something huge. "We are all gonna die!" I yelled, pointing at the leviathan-like creature heading straight for us, its huge form undulating through the water.

"Go faster! Much faster!" Kai screamed, his eyes wide with panic as the Leviathan's massive jaws cracked the glass of R.E.X. "Why did the tomb have to be underwater?! Why couldn't it be on land like a normal tomb?!"

"Ugh! What kind of weapons is this thing equipped with?" Jay's voice cracked as an alarm blared, signaling danger.

"We don't need weapons," Zane said, his voice calm as ever. "Aim for that rock!" He pointed ahead, spotting a jagged outcrop ahead in the water.

"On it!" Cole shouted, pushing a lever hard, and R.E.X. rocketed toward the rock with terrifying speed. With a screech of metal, the massive Leviathan slammed into the jagged surface, momentarily getting stuck.

"Yeah! Take that!" We all cheered, shaking in the seat as we tried to catch our breath. "Nice work, Cole!" I grinned at him, clapping him on the back.

"All right, R.E.X.! Thatta boy!" Jay yelled, his voice filled with glee as he patted the console affectionately.

The tomb's entrance loomed ahead, a desolate stretch of sand before us. The eerie silence outside was almost suffocating as we stepped into the cool shadows of the tomb's ancient doors.
