The Destiny [Ninjago + 3 Oc]

Season 5 Episode 7: The Crooked Path

(At steep wisdom, the ninja are creating a defense system against ghosts.)

Zane: (Putting up a sign.) There. That should keep customers away. "Closed for renovations."

Kai: (Setting up a bucket of water on top of the door.) More like fortifications.

Caila: If Morro and his ghouls show up here looking to steal the sword they won't know what hit them.

Cole: (He exits the shop and the bucket of water almost lands on him but Kazashi pushes him out of the way.) Aah! That was a close one, thanks Kazashi.

Kazashi: No problem. Careful, you know not all of us are immune to water.

Cole: Yea, And I for one would like to stick around long enough for Misako and Sensei to figure out the last clue.

Jay: We got Cyclondo, we got the sword, now they just have to figure out where the tomb of the first spinjitzu master is.

Kai: Let's hope they figure it out soon. I don't know how long we'll be able to hold out.

(Inside Steep Wisdom, Wu and Misako are figuring out the last clue.)

Wu: We know the skull represents his tomb.

Misako: But from everything that was ever written about it, there's nothing in Ninjago that matches its description. Where is it? The clues are all right here. but what are we missing?

Wu: (Sighs.) We mustn't give up. If Morro finds it first and takes the Realm Crystal, I'd hate to think what would happen next.

(Meanwhile, someone steps on a tripline and set off a bell.)

Caila: The early-detection warning system.

Kai: Intruder.

Aya: Let him have it. Pull!

(Everyone catapults water balloons, but it was actually the Postman.)

Postman: (Sighs.) No wonder you're going out of business.

Cole: Heh, sorry about that. (The postman leaves.)

Jay: No, you're the one going out of business. Heh, who sends letters anymore?

Caila: Guys, he's right. It says he's gonna shut us down unless we drum up some business.

Cole: Well, don't tell Ronin. If this place is worthless, he won't stick around and we need all the help we can get. Come on, we're gonna need more water balloons.

(Meanwhile, Ronin whistles while he cleans REX while Nya tries to control water.)

Nya: Come on, Nya. Become the water, reverse the flow. (The water droplets won't go up. Nya sighs.) Ugh!

Ronin: Giving up already?

Nya: Course not. Sensei thinks if I get over my fear of failure, I'll be able to control the water. Sure, I made it rain when I wasn't even paying attention, but herel can't seem to stop a single drop. Ugh.

Ronin: Well keep trying, maybe don't care, I do it all the time.

Nya: That's never going to do anything Ronin.

Ronin: Well some word of advice from me is: don't try so hard.

Nya: Don't try? what sort of backwards advice is that? Of course I'm gonna try hard. That's how one excels and--
