The ninja transverse the Endless sea
"We're almost to the Tomb of the First Spinjtizu Master." Zane said looking at the map
"Woah, this is so calming." (Y/N) spoke amazed
"Easy for you to say, I'm a ghost, if even one bit of that water touches me, im a goner." Cole said
"My bad Cole." (Y/N) said as Cole taps the glass a couple of times
"Just how thick is this glass?." Cole asked as Wu came on screen
"We're heading to your location now. With Morro already 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 five to find the Realm Crystal before he does." Wu said
"Hehe, Cole's a ghost, Kai can't swim, we have no magical sword or Elemental Powers. And (Y/N)'s powers are useless against a ghost." Jay laughed nervously
"What could go wrong?." Jay asked as Misako came on screen
"I may not know the three tests you're about to face, but I discovered a riddle that makes reference to it that may help. A Spinjtizu Master can. A Spinjtizu Master cannot. To move forward, don't look ahead, to find his resting spot." Misako read
"Huh, cryptic messages, must run in the family." (Y/N) said
"Well for me, that's food for thought." Cole said as Jay sees a Leviathan, he gulps
"Speaking of food, we're about to be some!." Jay yelled as the Leviathan came after them
"We have to go faster. Much faster." Kai said as the Leviathan cracks R.E.X's glass
"Why did the tomb have to be underwater?." Kai asked
"Hold on!." Cole yelled as R.E.X tried to get away from the Leviathan
"Ugh! What kind of weapons is this thing equipped with?." Jay asked
"We don't need weapons. Aim for that rock!." Zane yelled
"On it." Cole said as he drives to the rock, the Leviathan gets stuck, everyone cheers
"Yeah! All right! Thatta boy, R.E.X! Thatta boy!." Jay cheered
"That was too close." (Y/N) sighed
———————
Morro sighs as he look at the swords reflection in the second test, The ninja arrived at the tombs entrance
"If you wanna hide a tomb, this looks like a good place. We're here." Cole said as they walked out, Jay picks up a cloth left behind by Morro
"Aargh! There goes any hope Morro couldn't find this place." Jay groaned
"This makes this a race against time." (Y/N) said
"Hey stay positive. We're about to risk our lives going through traps we know nothing about. All we have to rely on is each other. At least feel lucky we got this far." Kai said
"Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. What was I thinking?." Jay asked sarcastically
"Hey, there goes any hope Morro couldn't find the tomb! We're not alone! Yay! Now we're gonna have to fight him again! Sure we got our tails handed to us last time, but you never know in the future, because ninja never quit!." Jay yelled sarcastically
"Better?." Jay asked in his normal tone
"Eh, I'll take it." Kai said
"Jay... that was poetic, I must take notes." (Y/N) faked a few tears, Zane points at a statue
"Look!." Zane yelled as they look at the statue
"The First Spinjtizu Master. Creator of all Ninjago." Cole said
"Woah." Kai wowed
"That's my Grandfather? He looks so wise." (Y/N) wowed
"Destination reached. Auto return initiated." R.E.X said as this confused the ninja
"What did it just say?." (Y/N) asked
"Auto return? No, no! Bad R.E.X! Bad!." Jay yelled as they chased after it, but it submerges underwater
"Our Areoblade weapons were in there." Zane said
"Ugh, not to mention our only way back." Kai said
"Hey, stay positive! Who needs a way back when we gotta go that way?." Jay asked pointing at the entrance
"Jays right, we need to go that way, let's try to stay positive about this." (Y/N) agreed
"No swords, no powers, no problem. We can do this guys. As long as we got each other, right?." Kai asked
"Brother sharpens brother." Cole smiled as they go inside the tomb, they see the first eye with symbols on multiple doors
"This could be the first test." Cole said
"Ooh! Why did it have to be tests? Why can't the tomb just be protected by Dragons? We're good with Dragons." Jay said
"I think we're supposed to pick a door, but which one?." Kai asked looking around
"Um, what was it Misako said?." Jay asked
"A Spinjtizu Master can. A Spinjtizu Master cannot. To move forward, don't look ahead, go find his resting spot." Zane recited
"A Spinjtizu Master can. Can what?." Kai asked
"(Y/N), you were raised by Wu, what's the answer?." Jay asked
"Does everyone think I know the answer to these cryptic messages?." (Y/N) asked
"Sooo... do you?." Jay asked making (Y/N) groan, Jay looked at the different doors
"Sixteen doors, for Sixteen Realms?." Jay asked
"Well, could be. But let me guess, pick the wrong door and we'll be in a realm of hurt." Cole said
"Oh, maybe we can get (Y/N)-
"Again, I can create my own destiny, not change it." (Y/N) sighed as Jay groaned
"I wish we had the sword right about now." Jay groaned
"We can figure this out. A Spinjtizu Master can. Can...
"The symbol above this door, it's a tornado. This could be the one, right?." Jay asked cutting Kai off
"You could be right." Kai said unsure, Jay went to the door
"Jay, wait!." Zane yelled as PIXAL started analysing, Jay stopped
"Picture recognition analysing. Pattern discovered." PIXAL said as Zane saw it
"Step away from that door, Jay." Zane said pulling Jay away
"W-what is it?." Jay asked scared
"Yeah Zane, what's up? What is it?." (Y/N) asked
"We're inside a zoetrope." Zane explained
"A Zoe-what?." Kai asked
"A zoetrope. The engravings in rapid succession creates a moving images." Zane explained confusing Cole
"Uh. I don't get it." Cole said
"He means if we move fast enough we can see the way out." (Y/N) said
"Ohhh." Cole understood
"A Spinjtizu Master can. Do Spinjtizu!." Kai realised
"Exactly." Zane smiled as he does Spinjtizu, he sees the images forming something
"He's creating some sort of shape." Zane said as he stops and points to a door with the corresponding image
"That one. That's the door out." Zane said confusing them
"I don't know Zane. Isn't that the same door we came in? Are you sure?." Cole asked
"Cole, I think a Nindroid would know better than us combined." (Y/N) said
"Let's just open the door." Kai said as Jay opens it to find the second test
"Woah." (Y/N) wowed
"But... that wasn't here before. How can it be the way, if that's the way we came in?." Cole questioned
"Well welcome to the Tomb of the First Spinjtizu Master." Kai said
"Hey, hey! Nice one, Zane. Who needs the Sword of Sanctuary when you've got a Nindroid?." Jay asked
"Let's just hurry this up, Morro is probably already at the third test by now." (Y/N) said as they walked in
———————————-
Meanwhile on the Bounty, Misako, Wu and Nya wait aboard
"These are the coordinates Ronins ship had directed them to." Misako told them looking around
"Then the tomb is right below here." Wu said
"That's not all that's here." Nya said as she spots the ghosts ship
"Morro's friends must have paid a visit, but I don't see Ghoultar. The ninja must have already taken care of-
Nya gasps as she sees Soul Archer starting that them
"They know we're here. Should I arm the cannons?." Nya asked
"No, getting into unnecessary battles only distracts us from preparing for the necessary ones still ahead. We wait, but just in case, how is your Water training coming?." Wu asked
"Uh, who knows? I can move water but it's not like I can control it. Whatever." Nya said trying not to care
"Whatever?." Wu looked confused
"Ronins indifference is rubbing off on her." Wu said to Misako
"That girl has always put too much pressure on herself. If she's moving water, perhaps it's working." Misako said
——————-
On the ghost ship, they stare at the bounty
"Why don't we attack?." Bansha asked
"Look at where we are. We can't risk losing our boat. Let's see who flinches first." Soul Archer said
————————
Inside the second test, Kai spots a golden staff
"The Staff of the First Spinjtizu Master." Kai said trying to grab it
"That's my Grandfathers Golden Weapon, was it destined for me to collect?." (Y/N) asked himself
"What was that?." Zane asked
"Nothing." (Y/N) said as Kai went to the staff
"Wait! This is the second test, remember? Zane, what do you think?." Cole asked as Zane scanned
"PIXAL can see no pattern. For this riddle room, I'm at a loss." Zane admitted
"Think about it. The first test was A Spinjtizu Master can. So this one's a Spinjtizu Master cannot. Though saying it out loud, I don't like the sound of that." Jay admitted
"But what does it mean? What are you trying to tell us Grandfather?." (Y/N) asked
"Hmm." Kai hummed as he steps on a tile that activates a trap
"Uh-oh!." Kai yelled as everyone dodged the trap
"Is everyone okay?." Cole asked
"Oh, that was a close one." Zane said
"Every step, uh, a trap." Jay said worriedly
"Great, now what do we do?." (Y/N) asked
"Well, if I'm correct, this riddle room poses quite the conundrum." Zane said
"So if a Spinjtizu Master can't do it, how are we supposed to reach the staff?." Cole asked
"Watch and learn." Kai said as he did Airjitzu, unfortunately activating another trap
"Huh? What- uh-oh!." Kai yelled as he dodged it, but activates more traps in the process
"No. Wait!." Cole yelled
"Not that one!." Jay yelled
"Kai for the love of my Grandfather stop!." (Y/N) yelled
"Just stop!." Zane yelled
Jay steps back and activates another tile
"Oh no!." Kai yelled as Cole gets hit by an obstacle but is unaffected
"Wait. I'm a ghost. What am I worried about?." Cole asked as a wrecking ball pushed a button and water starts to leak out
"That! That I can worry about!." Cole yelled
"I can make it." Kai said approaching the staff
"Kai!." Zane yelled
"No!." Cole yelled
"Kai stop, we won't make it out alive if you keep moving!." (Y/N) yelled
"Will everyone please stop moving?!." Jay yelled
—————————-
Soul Archer meanwhile keeps spying on the others
"Still no movement?." Bansha asked
"They are waiting, like we are." Soul Archer said
"Why are we waiting?! We should be attacking when they least expect it. I thought we weren't afraid of anything." Bansha said
"Very well, but now is not the time. We'll need to be strategic about it. Patience's." Soul Archer said
—————————
Everyone stops moving so no more traps can be activated, they all stand on their own tiles
"I can make it. It's just a hop, skip, and a jump." Kai said as he tries to use Airjitzu, but the tiles under him fall making him crawl back
"Kai, if we survive this, I'm going to give you a world of pain." (Y/N) glared at Kai
"Besides. If you trigger one more trap. I don't know how much more we can take." Cole said
"The clue clearly said this is a test a Spinjtizu Master cannot do. So why are we not listening to the clue?!." Jay yelled
"Trust me, I can make it." Kai said determined
"Wait. What if it's a trick? What if the reason we can't do it is because we were never meant to reach the staff? What is the first rule of being a ninja?." Cole asked
"A ninja never quits." Zane said
"Exactly, and that's why we can't do it. Because a ninja would never give up." Cole said
"What are you getting at Cole?." (Y/N) asked
"Are you saying we just quit? Are you insane?." Kai asked
"This time, trust me." Cole said as he jumps off his tile
"Cole!." They yelled as Cole laughs
"Whoo-hoo! Haha! Come on do and enjoy the ride!." Cole yelled
"He's alive!." Zane smiled as they jump down and fall down a slide, they split up slightly
"Seriously? Try to stay together!." Kai yelled
"Stay together? I'm just trying to say in one piece! Aah!." Jay yelled
"No!." Cole yelled
"Yeah, whoo-hoo!." (Y/N) laughed
"Oh great, aah!." Kai screamed as he lands on top of Zane
"Sorry." Kai apologised, they then grabbed onto stalagmites
"No, no! Aah!." Zane yelled as he fell
"Uh-oh! Aah!." Jay yelled as he and Cole falls
"Oh, no!." Kai yelled as he accidentally grabs two icicles
"Cowabunga!." (Y/N) laughed
"Huh?." Kai looked confused as he sees Jay and (Y/N) using them as skies
"This rocks!." (Y/N) laughed
"Whoo-hoo! I love skiing! Haha!." Jay laughed as Kai does the same
"Yeah!." Jay smiled
"All right!." Cole cheered as they all ski, they then fall through a wall leading them to the third test
"Is everyone okay?." Zane asked as they get up
"That was awesome! Hahaha!." (Y/N) laughed
"What did we get ourselves into?." Kai asked looking around, Jay climbs up a wall
"Oh, it's a maze! I'm great at mazes!." Jay laughed amazed
Kai looks at his reflection and notices he looks older
"Huh! Woah! If my reflection means anything, I'm starting to think we won't be breaking out of this maze any time at all." Kai said
"My reflection. Is that... me?." Zane asked looking at himself
"I look older, but our attire is different. I don't believe these reflections reveal our inability to escape, but a mere glimpse of our future selves." Zane explained
"Misako said. To move forward. Don't look ahead, is that what it means?." Cole asked as he noticed he doesn't have a reflection
"Wait a minute, why is it I can't see my reflection? Where is my reflection?." Cole asked
"It's probably because you're a ghost." Kai said
"Ghost cast reflections Kai, he's probably just looking in the wrong place." Zane suggested
"I am looking at the same place you are." Cole said
"Hey, guys, guess what, I get an awesome eyepatch! What about you (Y/N)? What do you see?." Jay asked as (Y/N) looked into the reflection, he sees himself wear black robes with purple details, his eyes are purple and one of his hands are pure dark purple, besides him, he sees an older Nya leaning her head on his shoulder
"I see myself, I'm older, I have purple eyes... a full purple arm... I'm wearing black robes with purple details... and I'm with... Nya." (Y/N) said mumbling the last part
"Full purple arm? What do you think that means?." Kai asked
"Maybe his potential into the Overlord?." Zane suggested
"Maybe better control of your ultimate powers? Or something similar?." Cole suggested
"Dude! That's so cool! I'd kill for a pure blue arm!." Jay smiled, Cole then notices something
"Wait a minute, I think i see me." Cole said as he takes a close look, only to notice it's not him
"It's Morro! He's in the maze too!." Cole yelled as Morro breaks the wall
"Huh, I was right, he was in the third test." (Y/N) said
"All you ninja do is talk, blah, blah, blah. I'll stop you from talking!." Morro yelled as he swings his sword at Jay, Jay runs away
"Aah! He's attacking an unarmed man!." Jay yelled
"We're coming for you!." Kai yelled as (Y/N) chased behind Morro
"Hey Morro!." (Y/N) yelled as Morro looks at him
"You again, I believe we've had this little dance before, so how about we end this?." Morro asked
"Okay let's do this, but before we do that... is that the Realm Crystal?." (Y/N) asked pointing behind Morro
"Where?!." Morro yelled looking behind him, only to see nothing
"There's nothing there- oh you little!-
(Y/N) blasts Morro with his powers knocking Morro into multiple walls
"Haha! I seriously can't believe you fell for that!." (Y/N) laughed as Morro gets up and growls
Morro goes to rush (Y/N), only for Cole to run through a wall and collide with Morro
"Huh, why didn't I do that sooner?." Cole asked, Jay runs into them
"Oh hey guys." Jay waved as Morro gets up,
"Time to run!." (Y/N) yelled as they ran off, Morro chases behind, Kai then gets infront of Morro wielding an icicle
"Come on! Catch me if you can!." Kai yelled as he leads Morro into a pile of icicles and traps Morro
"No! You can't trap me. I'll find you ninja. Just wait, you'll see!." Morro yelled
"Quick, how do we get out of here?." Jay asked panicked
"Uhhh, what was the message again?." (Y/N) asked
"To move forward, don't look ahead."
Cole said
"Don't look ahead. Look below!." Jay realised as they looked below and saw lights
"There's light. Everyone dig!." Kai ordered as they dig a hole and fall through
"Ow!." Jay groaned as he saw everyone looking at something
"What? What is it?." Jay asked as he saw a skeleton
"It's him. The First Spinjtizu Master." Kai said panting, they all bowed in respect of him
"The Realm Crystal." Zane said spotting it, he then grabs it
"How does it work?." Kai asked as Morro approached holding a weakened Lloyd
"How it works is you'll hand over the crystal, or say goodbye to your friend." Morro said
"Lloyd!." (Y/N) yelled as his fists glowed
"I wouldn't try anything Purple Ninja, unless you want your supposed cousin to be hit in the cross fire." Morro said as Zane puts a hand on (Y/N) shoulder
"You need to calm down, we need to think of a plan." Zane whispered as (Y/N) sighed before nodding
"If we hand him the crystal, he'll usher the reign of his Master, cursing Ninjago and every realm." Zane said
"But if we don't, when has he never made a good on a threat? Look at Lloyd, he's too weak to protect himself." Cole said as Lloyd groans weakly
"Ugh, either option totally stinks. What do you think, Kai? (Y/N)? What do we do?." Jay asked as Kai looks at (Y/N) with a determined look, (Y/N) reluctantly nods, Kai then grabs the crystal from Zane
"Looks like the decision is up to you Kai. So choose." Morro said holding the Sword of Sanctuary at Lloyd's throat
"Kai, whatever you do, just do it." (Y/N) whispered
——————
Meanwhile outside Misako looks for the ghost ship
"Why so concerned?." Wu asked
"Their ship went behind that rock five minutes ago but still hasn't passed." Misako said
"Raise the sails now!." Wu yelled as the ghost ships speeds over to them, Soul Archer fires his bow
"Nya! If that arrow ghosts the bounty, there won't be much to stand on." Wu said as Nya blocks it with a wall of water
"Hurry Misako. I said raise the sails!." Wu yelled only for Misako to be revealed possessed by Bansha
"Not Misako, only Bansha!." Bansha yelled
————————
Inside, Morro awaits an answer
"Stop stalling! Give me the Realm Crystal, or else!." Morro yelled
"We're not stalling! We're thinking!." Kai yelled back at Morro as they all huddled
"He's totally right, I'm stalling. What are we gonna do?." Kai asked
"Beats me, unless we can control water, we ain't gonna stop Morro any time soon." (Y/N) said as Cole grunts
"Ugh, this guy really chaps my hide. I swear, when this is all over....
Cole's anger makes the ground tremble slightly
"Our powers. Now that Morro's out of Lloyd's body, they're starting to come back." Kai said as Jay creates small amounts of lightning
"Yeah, but like Lloyd, they're weak. And we're in no position to fight back. Even (Y/N) can't stop Morro and his powers are fully charged." Jay said
"Leave that to me. Be ready." Kai said as they look at Morro
"Timed up! You leave me no choice." Morro said as he went to hurt Lloyd, Kai secretly heats up the Realm Crystal
"Wait! We'll give you the Realm Crystal!." Kai yelled making Morro laughs, Kai throws it and Morro catches it, only for his hand to burn, he then drops it into the river
"Aaaaaaahh! The crystal! What have you done?!." Morro yelled as Lloyd gets up and tries to fight Morro, Morro pushes him off into the stream with his Wind
"Lloyd!." They yelled
————————-
Nya keeps blocking more arrows
"I can't keep this up!." Nya groaned
"Bansha is controlling her, and I can't remember how to stop the spell." Wu said
"How's this for a refresher?." Nya asked as she sprays water of her, freeing her from the possession
"Uh, what just happened?." Misako asked as the ghost ship crashes into a rock
————————-
Meanwhile, Kai and Cole go after Lloyd while Zane, Jay and (Y/N) go after Morro
"I can't get him. I can't swim!." Kai yelled as Lloyd tried to stay afloat
"You can't swim? I can't touch the water! I'm a ghost remember? You at least had a reflection! What happens to me?." Cole asked
Zane meanwhile freezes Morro's sword before he could stab Jay
"Nice one Zane!." Jay praised as (Y/N) kicked Morro into a wall
"He's gonna drown!." Cole yelled as Lloyd falls under the water losing consciousness
"Ugh, this is crazy. What am I doing?." Kai asked himself as he dives in and grabs Lloyd
Jay uses his Lightning on Morro who dodged, it hits Zane instead
"Oh, no, Kai's got Lloyd, but who's got Kai?." Jay asked as (Y/N) rushed past
"(Y/N)? What are you doing?." Zane asked
"Saving them! Again!." (Y/N) yelled as he dives into the water and swims up to Kai and Lloyd, Zane noticed they were heading for a water fall
"Hurry (Y/N)! Pull them out before you all go over!." Zane yelled
"Don't rush me! I've got this!." (Y/N) yelled as he grabs Kai's arm
"(Y/N)! Hurry!." Kai yelled as he kept ahold of Lloyd
(Y/N) kept pushing himself against the current to no avail, Cole contemplates to himself before groaning
"(Y/N)! Grab on!." Cole yelled reaching an arm out for (Y/N)
"But what about you?." (Y/N) asked
"Forget about me, worry about those two! Now grab on!." Cole yelled as (Y/N) reluctantly does so, Cole then pulls them out, Cole then sees the Realm Crystal fall down the waterfall
"No!." Cole yelled as the Crystal starts flying
"Huh?." Cole looked confused as he noticed Morro using his Wind to grab the Crystal
"Everyone! Run!." Cole yelled as they chased after Morro
"No!." They yelled noticing Morro escaping with the crystal
"I'm sorry." Lloyd apologised
"It's not your fault." (Y/N) said
———————-
Morro escapes and notices their ship about to sink
"Ugh! Must I do everything?!." Morro yelled
"You have the Realm Crystal. Let's get out of here." Soul Archer said as they travel to another realm with the Crystal
"They took the Realm Crystal." Nya said sadly as she noticed they disappeared
"But what about the others?." Misako asked as the others arrived Kai and (Y/N) supporting Lloyd up, Nya gasps
"They made it! All right!." Nya cheered
"I knew they could, thank goodness!." Wu smiled
"My son. They've saved him!." Misako smiled relieved
"You all sacrificed so much to save me." Lloyd said
"Heh, I promised to look after you, didn't I?." Kai asked smirking
"And we weren't ever gonna let you go." (Y/N) said smiling
"But now Ninjago's gonna be cursed." Lloyd said sadly
"Yes, but now we have you." Zane smiled
"And now our powers are back." Jay smiled
"As you get stronger, so will we. And they haven't even seen us at full strength." Cole smiled
"So we're gonna finish this once and for all, and no one's gonna stop us, cause alone we're strong, together, we're invincible, so let's show them what for!." (Y/N) smiled as everyone cheered
