          You stumbled a little when the bounty took a steep dip into the clouds, walking forward and peaking your head off the side of the ship. The Ninja proceeded to do the same, their hoods down as they peaked around cautiously. You jumped when you felt a hand press against your head and shove your hood down your face. Turning around, you gave Cole a disappointed look that he only shook off, returning to the task at hand.

You and Jay jumped in your spots and away from the railing when you saw a dragon soar through the sky. It dipped under the bounty before emerging back up into the air, now hovering high above you. "Ah, I give you this much, that Ninja never quits!" Cole commented as he looked up at the sky with squinted eyes, the green light being too bright for him.

The dragon roared before doing a simple spin in the air, opening it's mouth and releasing a ball of green energy at the bounty. "Port side!" Zane shouted out to Nya, the black haired girl nodding her head and turning the ship away from the blow. You stumbled a little with the sharpness of the turn, the Ninja also taking a little tumble as they quickly caught themselves.

The dragon roared once more and flew lower to the bounty, the Ninja dividing into groups to deal with Morro. "The cannons." Cole looked over to Jay, the blue Ninja whimpering before running over to where he was instructed. Jay hopped onto the seat of the cannon and started to shoot at the dragon, Cole grabbing your arm and pulling you away from the side of the ship.

You watched as Jay managed to miss every single shot of the cannon, the dragon taunting him by flying closer to the ship. Eventually, the dragon swept itself away and back into the clouds, letting out a low growl. Jay hopped off the cannon and stood by you and Cole, looking around the sky as you saw another ball of green energy shoot towards you.

You were given no time to react at the bounty took a sharp turn to the left, everyone sliding to pull themselves upwards. "Let me get this straight," Jay started speaking, pulling himself up and into a standing position after he slipped, looking over at Wu with a worried expression. "You're just telling us now that you had another pupil before us, and now his cursed spirit possessed Lloyd, all so that he could take your staff!?" Jay started to raise his voice, trying to yell over to roaring winds that where biting at your Gi.

Wu grunted as he stepped out onto the ships surface and held his hat in one hand, his staff secured in the other. "Morro won't stop until he get's what he's after. There's a secret message engraved on it." Wu explained quickly, taking a few peaks at his staff as he reweighed it in his hand a few times. "All these years, I had no idea." He finished his thought, watching as you squinted at the staff to try and see if there was an engraving on it.

Jay laughed nervously as he stepped closer to his master, his annoyance starting to peak in the moment. "Of course, ha! Just another day in Ninjago!" He joked around with hidden sarcasm, trying to let his anger out on someone other than himself. Your eyebrows shot up when you heard the sound of a growl next to the ship, turning your head over to see the dragon flying right by it.

Cole let out a grumble as he watched Morro narrow his eyes at Wu before locking onto you, an unsure expression on his face. "Ugh, if this is how fast the bounty goes I think we're in for some serious trouble!" He said, pointing a finger over at Morro as his dragon lifted upwards with a roar, everyone taking a defensive stance. With little effort, you watched as the dragon flipped upside down and hovered over the bounty for a while before disappearing in a pile of green smoke.
