From where we last stopped, the ninja arrived at the tomb after escaping from being Levitan's food. Misako tells the ninja a riddle about how to get to the tomb, but solving it won't be easy.
Upon entering a door, they reach a room full of other doors. The door they came from slams shut, giving Jay an alarmed expression. Cole looks around the place before saying, "This could be the first test." Jay shakes his head, "Ooh! Why did it have to be tests?! Why can't the tomb just be protected by dragons? We're good with dragons, right?!" "The path to finding the tomb will never be a straight line," Anna said and brushed past him. "I think we're supposed to pick a door."
"But which one?" Kai questioned.
"What was it Misako said?" Anna asked, looking at Zane, who responded, "'A Spinjitzu Master can. A Spinjitzu Master cannot. To move forward, don't look ahead, to find his resting spot.'"
"A Spinjitzu master can. Can what?" Kai muttered, Jay finally calmed down and observed his surrounding "Sixteen doors, for Sixteen Realms?" He suggested. "If you put it like that, it makes a bit a sense," Anna uttered
"But let me guess, pick the wrong door and we'll be in a realm of hurt," Cole remarked, Anna gave a sigh as Jay was saying how he wished the sword was in their hands right now, it would of been very useful.
"We can figure this out," Kai said "A Spinjitzu Master can..."
Jay looks up and sees a tornado symbol on a door "The symbol above this door, it's a tornado. This could be the one, right?" he asked, reaching for the handle, then out of the blue, Zane called out "Jay, wait!"
Jay stopped in his tracks and turns around "What?"
"Step away from that door, Jay," Zane exclaimed, He reached towards Jay and hauls him away from the door "W-what is it?" Jay asked, in confusion.
"We're inside a zoetrope," Zane responded, Cole's brow raised "A zoe-what?"
"A zoetrope. The engravings in rapid succession creates a moving image," He explained
"So, where does that leave us?" Anna questions, before exclaiming "A Spinjitzu Master can......' Do Spinjitzu!"
"Exactly," Zane remarked, he performs spinjitzu, and the symbol's on the door start forming an animation, of the FSM, creating a image with an orb in his hand. Zane stops and points to a door with the corresponding image. "That one. That's the door out." He said
Cole scratched his neck, with a feeling of doubt "I don't know, Zane. Isn't that the same door we came in? Are you sure?" Zane raised a brow "Are you sure you want to doubt a Nindroid?" he asked. "Open the door. Let's find out," Kai said. Anna grabs the handle of the door and pushes it open, to her surprise, it wasn't the way they came from, instead it was another room,
"But...that's wasn't here before," Cole remarked "How can it be the way, if that's the way we came in?"
Kai walked pass him and into the other room "Well, welcome to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master,"
Jay chuckles "Hey! Nice one, Zane. Who needs the Sword of Sanctuary when you've got a Nindroid" he trailed off.
Upon entering the place, Kai notices something at the end of the room, a long golden staff, placed horizontally, "The Staff of the First Spinjitzu Master," Kai said, stepping forward, and Anna stopped him "Wait, This place looks a little suspicious, and unsafe to contain something that valuable,"
"This is the second test," Cole said. He looked over at Zane, who seemed to be scanning the room. "Zane, what do you think?"
Zane was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "Pixal and I can't see any pattern. For this riddle room, I'm at a loss."
