Morro's POV

I groaned as I woke up.

"Where am I?" I asked. A brown nindroid in a black and red biker outfit smiled.

"You're alive," he said. I blinked.

"Kinda." He chuckled.

"That was a statement. Not a question."

"But I'm a-" I paused, noticing for the first time that I was solid. "How-When-Why-"

"Humanitea. Three hours ago. We didn't want you becoming any worse."

"What do you mean worse?"

"You were slowly fading."

"Oh, like Cole?"

"Yeah, but not as bad since you were a real ghost." It felt really weird hearing that in the past tense.

"So where am I?"

"Our HQ."

"And where's your HQ?"

"In Ninjago."

"Where in Ninjago?"

"In Ninjago City."

"Where in Ninjago city?"

"I can not tell you that."

"Why?"

"You may leave and report the police."

"Why would I do that?"

"Because we're the SOG." I blinked, remembering what had happened the night before. I quickly got up.

"I'm leaving! I refuse to work for criminals like you!" I wobbled for a second. How had I been able to carry this much weight?

"But you are also a criminal."

"I said criminals like you. I'm fine hanging out with good criminals, bad criminals on the other hand."

"All criminals are bad."

"Yes, but some are worse. Like you."

"Actually you are worse."

"No, I am not! I'm not risking the entire- Okay, I was but for a good cause!"

"We are doing so for a good cause too."

"Sure you are." I walked into the door, forgetting I couldn't just phase through walls anymore.

"We are too, but you may leave." I stopped for a minute.

"Why are you letting me leave?"

"Because I know you'll be back."

"No, I won't!"

~~~~~~~~~~~

I was going back. I'd been out for about two hours. In that time I'd tripped myself, walked into many doors, and got very confused by the modern technology.

They had weird boxes they talked to people with, high tech cars, doors that opened for you, etc etc.

Actually it was one of these electronic doors that caused my decision. I'd walked into a store when the door opened by itself. At first I thought it was my powers, but then I realized it was just another high tech invention.

This caused me to:

1: Feel even less special than I already did.

2: Kick/punch a bunch of stuff in a fit of rage.

3: Break my fist because I forgot that I can't punch brick walls anymore!

4: Get called a freak by a bunch of people.

5: Threaten to attack a bunch of people.

6: Run away cause a bunch of people called the police cause I threatened them

7: Almost break my leg cause I tripped

8: Have a meltdown cause I'm never gonna succeed at this

9: Wonder if I should break into the palace, off the ninja, set fire to the palace as a final, "I hate you," and go searching for Wu so that I can get my revenge

10: Have another meltdown cause I can't do any of that!

11: Wonder how did my life get to this

12: Remember that this was all that nindroid's fault!

13: Decide to go back to the HQ to get revenge

And that's how I got to where I am now. I was starting to wonder if this was a good idea. I'd already broken one of my fists. Punching the nindroid would probably cause the other to break. In the end I decided I didn't really care. I just really wanted to punch someone.

Halfway through searching 'Ms Talks A Lot' appeared out of nowhere.

"Let me help you," she said. I gave her a glare. "It's just sad now, watching you search with no hopes of success."

"I have hopes of success!" I said angrily.

"Sure, you do. Look, do you want help or not?"

"Fine." She smiled. After a couple minutes of walking we were there.

"I knew you'd be back," The nindroid said in a sassy tone. I rolled up my sleeves, glaring at him intensely. "Why is he rolling up his sleeves?"

"He wants to punch you," 'Ms Talks A Lot' said. I paused, wondering how she knew that.

"I do not recommend that. You will injure yourself in the process." I ignored him and swiftly punched his face. He blinked a bit startled. I quickly grabbed my hand, regretting my decision.

"Healing tea?" I gave 'Ms Talks A Lot' a look. "That's a yes then."

"No, that's an obviously! Why wouldn't I? I just broke my hand!" I said.

"It is not broken," the nindroid said, and I glared at him.

"You know what I mean!"

"I do," 'Ms Talks A Lot' said. "And you can have it if you agree to help us." I glared at her.

"You're bribing me."

"Yes, but only because I have to. Monty's getting worse."

"Who?"

"Did I say that out loud?" She chuckled nervously. "I didn't mean to say that out loud!" She turned towards the nindroid who was giving her a concerned look.

"Is there something wrong with the master of energy?" He asked.

"No! Of course not! He's fine! Just getting stronger... Dangerously strong."

"Who are you talking about?" I asked. I'd never heard of a 'master of energy'.

"No one," the nindroid said. At the same time 'Ms Talks A Lot' said "The green ninja."

"But isn't he the master of fire?"

"Er-yes. He is." She said through clenched teeth. "Now are you going to help us or not?" I grumbled.

"Explain what you're doing and why I should help you first."

"Sure!" She told me an overly complex plan with trickery, lost fathers, masks, and manipulation. She also told me all of their reasonings which included an unusual amount of death, the green ninja, feelings of betrayal, and Garmadon. In the end I decided to help them. Mainly cause I also wanted revenge on Kai.

Oh, and was he going to pay.
