"Concentrate. Focus on reversing the flow. Become the water, Nya. Embrace it. You can control it. Become the Water Ninja"

Nya only rolled her eyes at the instructions, blocking the water with her hand. Wu gasped, thinking she controlled it, he then sighed realizing what she did. He gave her a look. "I'm not the Water Ninja. I'm a Samurai. I'm afraid my friends are in trouble, and I won't be there to help! We don't even know for sure if I have the power," She sat down as she talked, gesticulating wildly, she didn't notice how the lily pad moved in synch with her hand as she continued, "So if everyone is waiting for me to discover I'm some sort of Water Ninja maybe we've got a problem..."

"And maybe we have an even bigger one" The two turned to look at Misako, the woman having a rather unpleased expression on her face. They looked at each other before following her to the shop.

Inside, a man was messing with the merchandise. "Your first problem is the opening of a tea shop in the middle of a dry season. Water's at a premium. Then there's the name. Steep Wisdom? Ugh. More like Steep Debt. I mean, heh, where are the customers?" He smiled at them, the three only furrowed their brows.

"Who is this strange fellow?" Wu asked, looking at the woman, she shook her head, not knowing the answer either.

"You need to have a name with pizzazz, like Curiosi-tea! Or Shake Your Boo-Tea! Heh! These are just off the top of my head. This place is a cluttered mess" He picked up one thing from the counter, Misako quickly snatched said thing out of his hands, glaring at him.

"Excuse me, but if you're not a customer, what are you doing in our shop?"

"You mean my shop"

"Huh?"

He sighed. "Oh, right. They never told you... Name's Ronin. And since I'm now effectually the majority shareholder, I'm your new business partner" He send them yet another oh-so 'charming' smile as he leaned back on the counter.

The three gasped, worried about the boys. But that didn't change the fact Nya was angry, "What?"

"After the ninja lost the Scroll of Who-whatzu to that Morro dude, I bailed them out in exchange for their shares in the tea shop. Since they destroyed my pawn shop, I thought it was a fair trade until I saw this sorry place"

"They didn't get the Scroll of Airjitzu?"

"If they didn't get it, they'll never be able to follow the rest of the clues to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master" Misako looked at the ground sorrowfully.

Nya's expression changed from shock and sadness to anger before she looked at Wu with determination, "Let me go. They need me more than ever"

"Relax, the ninja are fine" Ronin waved his hand dismissively, causing the girl to glare at him. "I told them another possible way they could get it. Don't you know in life, there's always second chances"

Everyone raised a brow at him in confusion. "What do you mean another way?" Wu demanded as the man walked off to look around some more.

"What? No one ever told you about Yang's Haunted Temple?"
