I'd love to have you!

Anyway, on with the show. TW for brief mention of blood.



Y/n reached the top of the tower first.

She crouched on a skiff, eyes locking onto the silhouette of Morro's form through the window, holding a sword. She prepared to jump through the window to attack when she paused.

The sword was supposed to show an opponent's next move. Whatever she did, Morro would know—so she had to be sneaky. He'd expect the Ninja to simply burst through the window at fight; she'd do something else.

Before the others could catch up and ruin her plan, Y/n shot forward, crashing into the room, and leaped away from Morro.

The ghost had his sword poised to strike, but when Y/n didn't attack him, he lowered it slightly with a confused look.

"Give me the sword!" She demanded, taking her chance and lunging at the ghost. She easily dodged his sloppy first attack and moved in too close for sword usage, grabbing the hilt and holding it away from Morro. She glared into his eyes as if her stare could penetrate through him. "Get out of Lloyd's body!"

Morro tried to yank the sword away, but Y/n's grip was relentless. "Annoying gnat!" He snarled, jerking his whole body to the side. Y/n tumbled with the momentum, allowing Morro to snatch the blade away, and pointed it at the elemental. She retreated slightly but defensively held up her fists nonetheless.

Before Morro could strike, the other Ninja jumped into the room and fanned out, surrounding the ghost. He let out a frustrated cry and summoned his wind in a cyclone around him, holding the sword out in front of his body as his gray eyes flicked between the Ninja.

After a moment of silence, Kai lunged forward from behind Morro. Without even looking, the ghost stepped to the side, and Kai went stumbling past. Another gust of wind sent him careening into Y/n, briefly blocking her view of the ghost when she stumbled away from the Fire Ninja.

In this time, the other Ninja exchanged their attempts at attacking him—all of which he avoided with ease, glancing at the blade before each attack. "Too late!" He taunted as he threw Jay away from him. "I know your every move!"

Y/n shot forward, intending to sidestep his attack and go to the right. He gave her an amused smirk as she approached and lazily swiped the Sword at her. She ducked and began to slide to the right, but suddenly changed direction and sprang up to his left, once again holding the hilt of the Sword. This time, though, she gripped it in her right hand and pulled up while her left pushed down on Morro's shoulder, forcing him into an awkward angle. He yelped in alarm and tried to free himself, but his position didn't give him a lot of opportunity to do so.

"Go, Y/n!" Jay cheered, recovered from getting thrown into the wall. Morro glowered at him and used his free hand to blast him with wind, but a figure blocked the attack. Kai uncrossed his arms from in front of him and swiftly joined Y/n behind Morro, holding his other arm across his back. He winced when Morro shrieked, but his grip remained firm.

The ghost struggled for a moment before going still.

Y/n felt rather than saw the change. Her candle flared in warning.
