the ninja arrive on the docks of Stiix and start waking to the city on water. Upon glancing around, a fisherman caught their attention as he said "Welcome to Stiix, heh, we haven't had visitors in a while, oh watch your step,"
Anna looked down at her feet but kept walking
"Oh, I caught one," The fisherman yelped "It's a big fella. Ugh, whoa. Whoa!" He pulled back on his fishing rod but was pulled into the water below them "Ugh. Dagnabbit."
Anna lunged to the side of the bridge and glared at him as her teammates did the same. Kai bit his lip and had a worried and nervous face "I didn't know you were afraid of heights," Jay said
"I'm fine with heights. It's water I hate," Kai said, "But you didn't have that problem before," Anna pointed out
They continue walking to the city as Kai says "Before I could make a Fire Dragon at will.. ever since Morro's taken over Lloyd and our powers gone, I haven't felt—Aagh!"
A plank breaks under him and he falls down, luckily Cole was able to pull him up
"Well, now that we know ghosts don't like water either, at least we should feel safe surrounded by it," Cole said as they entered the main gate
"True, Morro wouldn't be that pathetic to come here," Said Anna, "Not pathetic, but rather desperate," Zane corrected
Jay garbed his nose as the smell of fish filled his nostrils "Ugh, what a dump. You'd think the thief who stole the Scroll of Airjitzu would have better taste,"
"Uh, this is Ronin we're talking about. He'd steal the sea if it were worth anything. We just have to figure out which rock he's under and get to the Scroll before Morro does," Cole ordered
"Then our best option is to split up and start looking," Zane added. "Or we could just go there," Anna says and pointed at a shop on the left.

The ninja enter the shop and start looking,
"Hm, I didn't expect so many valuable things at a pawn shop," Anna said as she brushed her fingers against a painting that she could have sworn, she had seen at the museums
"Wait a minute.." Cole said, his voice narrowing, Jay turned around with hopeful eyes, thinking Cole found the scroll "This is my dad's Blade Cup trophy," Cole said and lifted the fangblade, or blade cup and Jay sighed in disbelief and went back to looking.
"Oh, that old thing," Anna said not looking at Cole, "It's not old, it's ancient," Cole snapped "And What's it doing in a pawn shop?"
"Selling stolen goods? Ha," Kai scoffed "Sounds like we might have stumbled on the right place,"
Just then, the ninja heard whistling as a man came into the room holding a vase
"Ronin," Jay said with a sharp voice, Ronin's eyes widened as he stepped back "Huh?"
"Going so soon?" Jay questions
"If this is about our last encounter, it was only business," Ronin pleaded, Anna scoffed and said "Business? You left us in the mouth of a-"
Ronin cut her off "So you're still upset. Let me make it up to you," he walked to a table and placed the vase down, he then pushed a button by the side of the table "Aha!"
Anna lifted her head to see a net from above fall but stopped before it could grab anyone
"Really Ronin?" Anna muttered as she looked back at him. "Uh, that was a mistake. I can explain that."
"Argh, nothing here is legit, including you," Cole said
Jay nodded "Yeah. I bet your airship's not far either. What do you call it again? Rylo? Ruby?"
