Spirit's Wrath (Book 2 of Spirit's Calling)

Descendent of the First Spinjitzu Master

A/n: a bit of a shorter chapter, but it's better than nothing

Sorry I haven't posted in a while; I thought the break would give me more time but I've been busy with skiing and other stuff around the house.

I am also writing other short stories, which isn't helping my release time so my bad. They can be found on "Random Ninjago One-shots" in my profile or on my Archive of Our Own account, CrystalEclipse (https://archiveofourown.org/users/CrystalEclipse).

I will do my best to pick this back up, especially when I get back to school, but please be patient with me while I get out of my writer's block.

Don't worry, I have not given up on this story — in fact, I have big plans for later in the series. It will just take longer than normal to continue until I get my motivation back in full swing.

So, without further ado, enjoy getting some questions answered!

Y/n thought she was done with surprises for the day.

Oh, how was she wrong.

Since seeing her childhood tormentor and one of their own turn into a ghost wasn't enough. No. That would be too easy.

First, while they were busy, Morro had taken over Nya's Samurai X suit.

Second, as it turned out, Nya was an Elemental Master — just as Kai could control fire, she had power over water. And her powers weren't dampened by Lloyd's possession.

Then, Master Wu had new gis made for them, these embedded with deepstone. According to Jay, that particular stone evaporated a ghost when used as a weapon. The only remarkable thing about the stone that made it so special was that it could only be found at the bottom of the ocean — in other words, surrounded by water. Perhaps, then, they had found their ace card in Nya.

Above all, one thought plagued Y/n as she lay on her bunk, staring numbly at the ceiling.

How had she known?

Twice in the last day, she'd had the stray thought that Nya could control water, but none of them had known until they returned. She hadn't felt different around her friend, yet somehow she knew with absolute certainty. She knew before the Master of Water herself.

But why?

Letting out a sigh, Y/n swung off her bed. There was only one person who could give her an answer.

However, right before Y/n could voice her worries, her target spoke up.

"We must leave now," Wu announced. "We have a long journey ahead of us, and we cannot afford to waste any time."

"Where are we going?" Jay asked, tugging uncomfortably on the sleeves of his gi.

Wu motioned for Nya to fly the Bounty over to them, and she carefully guided the ship close to the ground. "I will explain when we are in the air," he replied dismissively.

Y/n huffed in annoyance. She needed to talk with Wu, not learn about where they had to go.

The sun shone brightly as she climbed up the anchor into the ship, reflecting off the chain and practically blinding the elemental. She squinted and craned her neck to avoid the angle that would put the sun in her eyes and pushed on, making it to the top in record time.

The other Ninja boarded behind her, all talking quietly — except for one. Y/n's concerned gaze watched her ghostly teammate shuffle past without a word and head belowdecks.
