Now at night, The ninja are still following the tracks as they finish their song 

"......it around, no more bottles of tea on the wall," They all laugh, "That was enjoyable," Zane said with laughter in his voice "And long," Jay exclaimed.

"Let's do it again," Zane said and everyone except him yelled "No!" and laughed after

Anna's laughter slowly dies out as she says "Uh, I wish Lloyd was here for that."

Kai nodded too "So do I. But we'll find the tomb, stop Morro, and then, we'll save him,"

"I wonder why the tomb's so important," Cole says with a questioning tone, "I don't know," Jay muttered and Anna said "Sensei once mentioned it holds unspeakable power,"

"It's the tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master, why wouldn't it hold unspeakable power?" Kai questions, everything that was related to him always had unspeakable power

"Whatever secrets or powers it holds, it must be protected and out of the hands of Morro," Cole said,

They soon approach a train station, Anna looks around the place just as Zane said "Let's take a break here, We've been riding for a long time,"

"Agreed..." Anna mumbled and got off her walloper

Cole hears someone laughing and turns around looks across the place "Uh, did you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Kai asks "Someone's laughing," Anna says, she had a bad feeling in her gut 

"but...we're in the middle of nowhere," Jay uttered and hears another laugh

"I don't know what that is or who that is, but we better be on guard," Kai warns and his team nodded, Anna glances toward the moon and sees a green smoke which forms a portal "Uh, guys.." she muttered, Jay's eye also caught it "What is that?"

Wrayth, riding on a chain cycle jumps out the portal and charges at them

"Watch out!" Cole shouted, and they leaped out of the way, Zane quickly got back on his heels and tosses his shuriken at him but they just pass through his body "My shurikens. They went right through him!" 

Anna makes a magic sword at sends it at Wrayth but it also passes through him "So does my swords,"

"Oh, and why must that be?" Jay said sarcastically and Anna looked at him with a raised eyebrow "Because he's a fricking Ghost!" Anna dragged her face away from him with a slightly annoyed expression

"Morro must have summoned some friends," Kai states as Wrayth circles them. "And they're not the friendly ones," Anna added as Wrayth drives through them, luckily they jumped out of the way

 "We're sitting sucks out in the open. We need to take shelter!" Kai yells "Watch out!" 

Wrayth drives through the small old building which was made out of wood, and destroyed it

"There goes shelter," Cole muttered as he ees the demolished house

"Oh, God, he's coming for another pass!" Jay shouts "Move!" Wrayth uses his chain on the ninja but they duck making him garb a walloper and turns it into a ghost 

"He turned my Walloper into a Ghost," Cole exclaimed "No one turns my Walloper into a Ghost!"

Jay runs to the other wallopers and tries to scare them off "Ugh, get outta here. Hyah! Hyah!" however the wallopers refuse to move "Ugh, just get out of here already," Jay snaps  

Black crystals emerge from the ground which scares the wallopers away and Jay regroups with his team 

"Where did he go? I can't see him," Kai says 

"Keep an eye out, he could be anywhere," Anna orders and Zane added "And stay together,"

"If our weapons do nothing, how are we supposed to fight a Ghost?" Jay whines and Kai says "Good question," 

"There he is! Watch out! Ugh," The ninja leap in the air to dodge Wrayth's chain but Kai's leg gets stuck "Huh? That's not good. Aah!" Wrayth starts dragging him around 

"Kai!" Anna called out and he was able to free himself "I'm okay, everyone! I'm okay,"

"'He can't fight us together so he's gonna pick us off one by one," Cole said "There's nothing we can do because there is no way to fight a ghost!" Jay yelped 

"Just be on guard," Anna says

Kai stands up and looks to his feet to see the ground glowing green "Huh? He's underground! Aah!" Anna uses a magic rope to yank Kai out of there "Phew," Kai muttered getting to his feet

"Stand back, I got an idea," Cole said and traps Wrayth's chain on a nearby water tower. 

Anna turns to Zane and says "Zane, if your shurikens don't work on him then target his bike, I'm sure that its made out of physical material," 

Zane nodded and throws a shurikens at his bike, making Wrayth fall off and land at the train tracks

"Is he dead?" Jay asks cocking his head forward and glancing at the ghost. Anna shook her head slightly "I don't think so-"

All of them but Anna, scream when Wrayth gets up, but gets run over by a train "Haha. Now that's how you stop a Ghost." Cole chuckles

Wrayth comes forward, unaffected by the train and says "You think a train can stop a Ghost? Your world will pay dearly when Morro finds the tomb..." Anna narrows her eyes at him "....And when he does, he will take possession of the—" Wrayth accidentally pulls on his chain, splashing himself with water and exploding into a green smile

"What, uh, what just happened?" Cole questions

"He went....." Anna began to say and Zane finished it "ka-blooey".

"Yeah, but he was just gonna tell us what was in the tomb. Couldn't it have waited another second?" Jay yelped

"Well, we may not know what's in the tomb, but we do know one thing," Anna said

"how to stop a Ghost," Kai uttered 

"Water?" Said Jay and Cole. "Unusual. I guess it's true. The path we seek is never a straight line," Zane quoted

"Uh, speaking of straight lines, if that train's heading to Stiix.." Jay says "wouldn't it be faster if we..."

Kai snaps his head right and the ninja dashed after it with cries of  "Hey! Wait for us! Slow down! Slow down!"
