Down in the Underworld, Samukai kneeled in front of the shadow of Lady Garmadon, a sorry look on his pale face as he scanned the purple tinged room around him. He put his four skeletal hands together as he spoke solemnly to his ruler.

"Your highness," he began, "I have failed you. The ninja- they have learned Spinjitzu... and they have the scythe..." The skeleton bowed his head, awaiting the punishment that he would soon endure from his dark leader.

"Good," replied the sickly sweet voice of Lady Garmadon. Samukai looked up in surprise, wondering how the news that he had shared could possibly be positive. "So, my sister was there," she continued.

Samukai nodded, "If I get my army, we can easily ambush them at-"

"No," she stated, causing Samukai to flinch slightly, "let them think that they have won."

"I... do not understand..."

"Don't fret, everything is going exactly according to plan," Lady Garmadon explained. She then laughed a maniacal laugh, one that only the ruler of all darkness could emit. Oh yes, everything was going swell for Lady Garmadon...

"I spy something.... white," Jayne said, leaning on the railing of the ship.

Yes, we were on a ship, in the middle of a partially frozen river. This, according to Sensei Sue's map, was where the shurikens of ice were. And, now, Jayne was getting on my nerves as I steered the ship between icebergs.

I sighed. "Could you at least try to be quiet for once? Steering this huge ship ain't easy you know!"

Jayne was about to say something when the boat shook on account of me not paying attention. Startled, I clenched the steering wheel. A sound emerged from the bottom of the boat that did not sound good.

"Ah.... I spy something.... broken," Jayne grimaced.

I shook my head, my hearing drifting to Kailee's and Zinnia's conversation on the other side of the deck, where Kailee was shivering like mad.

"Ugh, if Sensei knows where the golden weapons are, why isn't she steering the ship?" Kailee complained.

I glanced behind me to find Sensei balancing on one of the beams, meditating or something.

"We've been drifting aimlessly for miles," Kailee moaned.

"I'm trying, ya' know!" I called.

"Sensei's wisdom is beyond my own," Zinnia explained bluntly.

Then, I heard Sensei stand straight on the beam and begin to speak. "The most powerful move in Spinjitzu can only be unlocked when all four elements are combined."

Glancing back, I saw that she had flipped off of the banister and onto the deck, her feet making the rickety boards creak and groan. What does Spinjitzu have to do with what Kailee was just complaining about?

"Earth, Ice, Fire, Lighting!" she exclaimed, doing a bunch of twirls in mid-air that I didn't think a woman of her age could even pull off.

Jayne left my side and headed over to where the others were standing. "Uh, so what exactly happens when all of them elements are combined?" I saw her raise her eyebrow out of the corner of my eye. Just now did I realize that that particular eyebrow had a scar running through it. I wondered what had caused it.

"The Tornado of Creation," Sensei Sue replied, "The power to create something out of nothing." She then walked past me with a steaming teacup in hand. Where did that come from?

Next, Kailee was doing some ridiculous moves in which Sensei scolded her for, something about that if the Tornado of Creation was done incorrectly, it could lead to disastrous consequences.

"Disastrous consequences," Kailee muttered defiantly, doing another spin, "right." I could just envision her rolling her green eyes and shaking her head, which I saw, when I turned, was exactly what she was doing.

All of a sudden, a large block of ice came into view, and I was too late to turn. We crashed into it, causing Kailee to topple to the floor and the boat's sails to frost.

"Uh..." I lied, "wasn't me."

"Did I do that?" Kailee wondered from the floor.

"No," Sensei explained, "we are here!"

What we had crashed into was a large volcano made out of- ice? How much of an oxymoron is that? Fog billowed out of the mouth, and the structure gleamed an ice blue. It was going to be very tough to climb.

However, it turns out we didn't need to climb it, as we trudged along a path blanketed with snow. There was snow everywhere- even in my hair, which I didn't see how it was possible because I had my hood on! Eventually though, we did reach the volcano, only to go inside it. I marveled at it's sleek beauty, glittering ice and snow was everywhere, but it was astonishingly pretty.

"Woah," Kailee gaped, "looks like someone has already been in here..."

Eventually, we reached the very heart of the mountain, to find a dragon's head poking through the frozen ceiling, the two golden shurikens of ice floating in between it's jaws. Not another dragon... oh dear.

"The shurikens of ice!" Zinnia squealed, pointing to the weapons. She then jumped up, grabbing them. But, as soon as her fingers touched their surface, Zinnia was encased in a block of ice, the weapons in her clutches. The ice fell, but the three of us caught it, and ran just in time for the dragon to break free of the mountain's walls.

It chased the (screaming) four of us out of the volcano, and it got it's head stuck in a narrow passage way that we were just able to fit through. We then all slipped, and used Zinnia's solid form as a sled to slide our way back to the ship, shrieking all the way.

Except, we didn't reach the ship, but instead slammed into a, ice pillar, causing Zinnia's ice to shatter, Kailee to slam her head against it, and Jayne and I to fall off. Jayne, of course, landed right on my stomach.

"Ow," we all simultaneously mumbled. Sensei shook her head and instructed us to get back on the boat.

The map led us to where the nunchucks of lightning were secured, atop an extremely rocky mountain. This mountain, though, had a long lightning rod type thing on top of it, and, on top of that, was where my golden weapons were perched. Streaks of blue lightning crackled around it, creating a dazzling light show that could surely kill anyone who wasn't a lighting elemental like myself.

We had climbed all the way to the snow-covered top when Zinnia looked down and yelled, "We are being followed!"

I glanced down the summit and gasped, finding dozens of skeletons creeping their way up the mountainside. "Let's go!" I cried, leaping onto the lighting rod with the others behind me. I scrambled up to the top to find the nunchucks floating there. "All right!" I exclaimed, climbing up and grabbing them.

Just as I did, a rather loud crack of lightning sounded, and I turned to see a huge blue dragon towering over me. "OH MY GOD!" I shrieked, "JUMP!"

We then all plummeted into the water below the mountain, which I thought was stupidly placed, as lightning is the complete opposite of water!

Anywho, I had installed my newest invention to everyone's ninja gis, which was new and improved wings! So, right before we smacked into the water, we released the wings and glided away, laughing at the surprised faces on the skeletons' skulls.
