Book 5: Ninjago The Master of Crystal Possession and Skybound OC

Curseworld, Part I

(The citizens of Ninjago are celebrating the New Year Festival. In Chen's noodle house, Ronin is sitting by himself watching TV.)

Reporter: (On TV) Season of change is almost to an end. And residents of eagerly await to celebrate tonight's New Year Festival.

Skylor: Hard to believe you don't have any friends to usher in the New Year.

Ronin: Let's just say I'm good at making friends, just not keeping them.

Skylor: Huh. Even a friend who spoils the party every once in a while is still a better friend than someone who stays. (She looks at Ronin's Areoblade, which he puts away.) Ah. It's okay. I've been around enough weapons in my day. In fact, kind of reminds me of some old friends.

Ronin: How much do I owe you?

Skylor: It's on the house, friend.

Ronin: Huh. Appreciate it.

Reporter: Festival celebration is going on all over Ninjago.

Ronin: Hey, mind turning that up?

Reporter: But not only in Ninjago. Other cities in every corner...

Skylor: You know that sewer swamp?

Reporter: ...are celebrating this festival...

Ronin: Yeah. I used to call it home.

Reporter: ...and no other town likes to celebrate more than the residents in Stiix county.

(People are celebrating with a dragon parade.) 

Stiix Residents: Wow!

Boy: Oh, man. That's awesome.

(Unknown to them, Morro enters Ronin's old pawn shop with the realm crystal.) 

Morro: Now let's shed a little light. (He sets the Realm Crystal on an old trophy and opens the Cursed Realm for the Ghost Warriors.)

Wrayth: Ah, it's good to be back.

Morro: How long until the Preeminent is ready?

Soul Archer: Her energy is still too strong to cross the Ethereal Divide.

Bansha: The longer the gateway stays open, the stronger it becomes. We must prepare for her arrival.

Morro: Then what are we waiting for? Let the festivities begin.

Ghoultar: Ghoultar likes big festival! 

(Ghost Warriors and Skreemers take over the city. The citizens scream and run away.)

Kid: (A ghost possesses his dragon.) Hey, my dragon!

(At Steep Wisdom, Wu tells the ninja they need supplies.)

Kai: Shouldn't we be going to Stiix? The longer we wait, the worse it'll get.

Wu: We need to stock up.

Jay: On what? Magic tea that will make us invincible? (Gasps.) Give us special powers? Is it gonna give us four arms?

Izzy: (On Coral's shoulder.) What is it with you and four arms? 

Coral: We've faced many four armed villains before you came into the picture Izzy.

Wu: Sadly, no magical tea today. I had to sell the rest of the merchandise along with everything else. (Shows them the closed tea shop.)
