          Currently, you were a good few feet underneath the oceans surface, the ship you were on closed up as you sat squeezed in the front cockpit. "I can't beleive we're almost there after everything we've been through." Cole Sighed out as you all observed the small digital map in front of you, Kai shivering as he muttered how he couldn't believe he was underwater. "You, what about me? Just how thick is this glass..." Cole muttered as he shook his head at Kai, tapping the glass that was in front of him.

You reached a ghastly hand upwards and dragged Cole's hand back down to his side, shaking your head with tired eyes as he quickly apologized to you. "We're heading to your location now, with Morro ahead of you and able to foresee the traps, protecting the tomb with The Sword of Sanctuary, it's going to be up to you to find the Realm Crystal before he does." Wu quickly explained, his face highlighted on the small screen in front of you, a squint coming from your eyes as you tried to focus on it.

There was a light chuckle from beside you, drawing your attention as you peeked over to Jay, who was slightly behind Kai. "Cole's a ghost, Kai can't swim, Y/n is drained, we have no magical sword or elemental powers. What could go wrong?" The boy asked, you looking him up and down briefly before turning back forward, you suddenly feeling a headache coming. You understood that Jay was jumpy in situations like this, but you didn't have the energy necessary to deal with it right now, you could only hope for him to calm down.

As the ship continued to descend farther into the water, neither you nor the Ninja had picked up on the fact that you had caught the eye of a certain creature. "I may not know the three tests you're about to face, but I discovered a riddle that makes reference to it that might help." Misako suddenly spoke up, the Ninja pressing forward to glance at the woman as she undid a scroll. "A Spinjitzu Master can, a Spinjitzu Master can't. To move forward, don't look ahead, to find his resting spot." You raised an eyebrow at the riddles, trying to figure out the last bit of it since you wouldn't be able to understand the first.

Cole hummed about the riddle, saying it was food for thought, before turning the screen in front of you off, Jay letting out a shaky sigh as you side eyed him. "Speaking of food, we're about to be some!" You quickly turned your look of annoyance into one of worry, whipping your head over to glance at what Jay was pointing at. Your mouth slightly fell agape as you slowly started to uncross your arms, seeing a giant octopus now pursuing after your small ship.

"We have to go faster, much faster." Kai stated, Cole nodding his head as he took control of the ship, you grabbing the back of the chair upon the sudden jerk. "Why did the tomb have to be underwater?" Kai questioned as the beast slapped one of its arms onto the glass, slightly cracking it as your face paled at this. Cole grumbled as he turned the ship away, trying to shake the monster off your tail as you and the others held onto things to stand upright.

Jay groaned as he started to look around, questioning what kind of weapons this ship had equipped, Zane pushing forward to stop the boy from pressing any buttons. "We don't need weapons, aim for that rock!" He pointed forward, Cole nodding his head as he guided the ship forward and through a small cavern. Once you all reached the other side, you all let out a collective sigh upon seeing the over grown sea creature stuck inside the small hole.

From there, the ship went back onto auto pilot, your head nodding forward as you kept trying to keep yourself awake. You were jolted from your dazed state when someone nudged your shoulder, you blinking as you stood upright. Glancing upwards from inside the ship, you watched as it breached the water, now pushing your small group towards the land inside of the cave.
