Ghost Story ► Ninjago [REWRITING]

| X | New Addition

*No POV*

Morro sat in a cave, Soul Archer and two other ghosts with him, one feminine and the third a strange one with a skull on his face. He was in grave thought, to which they all noticed, right in front of the ghostly green fire.

"What's wrong, Morro?" the female ghost, known as Bansha, questioned. Her voice was more like a hiss each time she spoke, nothing like the deep, raspy tone of the Soul Archer.

Suddenly, Morro burst.

"How could anyone be more powerful than the Green Ninja?" he asked himself, standing up and pacing back and forth. "A girl, no less. No, I refuse to believe it."

"It may have just been a bluff," Soul Archer told him in an attempt to calm him down. "The Green Ninja should be the most powerful being in all of Ninjago."

"No, no, something's wrong about that." His pacing continued, and he spoke a lot faster out of nervousness. "This goddamn boy inside my head won't leave me alone! And he's telling me... he's telling me that she's telling the truth. And he knows she surpasses him. But that's impossible!"

Morro slammed his fist into the hard rock, breathing heavily. "I did not plan all this... I didn't do this just for some girl to overpower me. I won't have it."

He then looked up at the two ghosts in midair, who stared at him. "Find out everything you can about her. What happened to her powers, what her powers are. I won't have anyone think they're stronger than me!"

Once they nodded, he took in a deep breath, seeming to collect himself once again, and said, "But don't stray away from the plan. I now know Airjitzu, but we have to reach the second symbol."

Morro grabbed the staff, staring down at the dusted ground, before tossing it lightly. It created the symbols once more, his eyes darting to the middle.

"Can any of you decipher it? There was a reason why I brought you three out."

"I can," Bansha hissed. "But you'll need more than Airjitzu to get there."

"Are you suggesting, Bansha," Soul Archer cut in. "That we'll need to possess a few more vessels?"

The third ghost flew around, a giggle escaping him. "Me likes, me likes to take! Take now!"

"Settle down, Ghoultar," Morro told him. "Master would want us to be patient. I think I know where we could pick up a few more... toys."

Don't you dare go anywhere near that place!

Morro physically scowled at the true Green Ninja's voice. "Ugh... and we need to go soon."

Nya stared as the drops of water fell into the lake, her eyes unwavering. The voice of Wu continued in her head as she listened.

"Concentrate. Focus on reversing the flow. Become the water, Nya. Embrace it. You can control it. Become the Water Ninja."

He gasped when her hand was out and the drops stopped, thinking she had done it—however, it was merely said hand that stopped the movements and he sighed.

"I'm not the Water Ninja!" she continued to deny. "I'm a samurai. I'm afraid my friends are in trouble and I won't be there to help! We don't even know for sure if I have the power, so if everyone is waiting for me to discover I'm some sort of Water Ninja—!"

Wu watched as her arms flew back, so did the current of the lake. A lily pad was gently pushed toward him.

"—then maybe we've got a problem!"
