Misty and The Secrets of Forbidden Spinjitzu (Ninjago)

Queen of the Munce

~Lloyd, Nya, and Jay~

Lloyd, Nya, and Jay were following a group of Munces through the tunnel they had run into. In their hands, they held torches made of a glowing green rock that illuminated their surroundings in sickly green lighting.

"I wonder what happened to the others," Lloyd murmured

"Yeah, I hope they're safe," Nya agreed

"I guess, for now, we'll have to follow these guys wherever they're going." Lloyd sighed

"The others will be okay. Don't worry." Jay reassured the two with a smile.

"I hope so," Lloyd muttered he wouldn't say it out loud but he was hoping Misty ended up with anyone but Cole with the team being possibly split as it was.

"Um... hmm," Murt muttered he and the other Munces had stopped in their path.

"Everything okay? Why'd we stop?" Lloyd asked

"Murt not remember the way," Murt mumbled

"What? I thought you knew these tunnels like the back of your hand!" Jay cried

Murt looked at his hand, confused, and said, "Uh..."

Jay sigh in exasperation and let out a groan, "Ugh."

"Is one of these. Either this way, or this way, or this way." Murt said and pointed between the two tunnels ahead of them.

"Yeah, um, we figured it was one of them, Murt, but we kinda need to know which one," Lloyd said

"How about this way?" Murt said and he pointed behind the group.

"That's the way we just came," Lloyd said

"Oh, great! Now we're gonna get lost down here, we're never gonna see the sun again, we're all gonna -" Jay said but was cut off by Nya.

"It's this way, guys!" Nya cried

"How do you know?" Jay asked

"I can see footprints in the dirt," Nya said as she held the torch close to the ground.

"Oh. Nice work, Nya. See, I told you it would be fine!" Jay said.

Nya and Lloyd exchanged doubtful looks with one another behind Jay's back.

Nya, Jay, and Lloyd gasped as they arrived at the Munce Home-Cave. "Wow." It appeared to be an underground cavern home with large green crystal spikes that illuminated the underground village, as they approach the gates a Munce Sentry called out, "Halt! Who goes there?"

"Where?" Murt asked

"There!"

"He means you, Murt." Lloyd hissed as he placed his hand on Murt's shoulder.

"Oh. Murt goes there." Murt said

"Murt? Son of Murt?" One of the sentries asked

"You escape from the Skull Sorcerer? How?" the other sentry asked, Jay, waved nervously.

"My Queen! We have visitors." The sentry announced

a female Murt seated on a large throne gasped and shouted, "Murt!"

Murt approached the throne with Lloyd, Jay, and Nya, he kneeled, and said, "My Queen. Murt escape. With help of these "moutsiders."

"How? No one has ever returned from the caverns held by the Skull Sorcerer." Murtessa marveled

"If you wish to hear story, Murt will tell," Murt said

Jay then whispered to Nya, "This should be interesting."
