Cole repeatedly bashed on the door to Ronin's shop. "It's locked, Cole." Jay pointed out to the frustrated Ninja of Earth.



"What are you, a bunch of quitters? Sure, we can't understand Zane but that has never stopped us before." Cole declared to his brothers. "But now I'm in charge and I say we don't need Ronin to get the scroll.



"And why's that?" Kai questioned. "Because we're going to steal it back." Cole announced.



"We're Ninja, not thieves, Cole." Jay criticised. "We don't even know if it is in there."



"Yeah, but we're stealing from a thief. Haven't you ever heard, two wrongs make a right." Kai countered.



"Iak, thgir a ekam t'nod sgnorw owt s'ti." (It's two wrongs don't make a right, Kai.) Zane corrected his brothers even though they could not understand him.



"Shush, Mush Mouth. I'm the leader and what I say goes. After everyone locks up tonight, we steal back the Scroll of Airjitzu." Cole declared.



(Third Person P.O.V)



Nya filled the bucket and brought it to Sensei Wu. "There. Bucket's full. Not so hard." Nya scoffed. But Sensei Wu spied that Nya had used a cork to stop the water from leaking out. "The bucket is not full. Try again."



"This is impossible!" Nya complained. "This is not impossible. This is thinking outside the bucket. Going with the flow. Finding where you are weak. Sensei Wu chuckled causing Nya to see red.



"I'm not weak! This bucket is weak!" Nya shouted as she kicks the bucket into the pond and walks away. "I've been filling the bucket all day, it's never gonna happen! This is pointless! I filled the bucket! Nya continued to complain as she stormed off.



"It appears the day was a waste." Misako said handing Sensei Wu some tea.



"On the contrary, I've finally discovered her weakness." Sensei Wu said taking a sip of tea.



"While Nya is good at many things, She gives up when things get tuff and her pride blinds her, she didn't even realize she's successfully completed the task. Her bucket is now full." Sensei Wu pointed out the bucket sitting at the bottom of the river.



"What about (Y/N)?" Misako questioned Sensei Wu. "What about her?" Sensei Wu replied taking another sip of his warm tea as he watched Nya throw a tantrum.



"What is her weakness?" Misako said taking a sip of her own tea. Sensei Wu took a long pause.



"I'm afraid I can't answer that." Sensei Wu admitted putting his tea down. "Really Wu? I thought you knew everything." Misako teased with a warm smile.



Sensei Wu gave a small cough. "Well, I don't know the girl well enough to make that assessment."



"Oh, come on Wu give it a shot I'd love to hear your insight into this." Misako said batting her eyelashes at the blushing Sensei.



"Well, I can try." Sensei Wu answered taking a quick sip of his tea to hide his blush. Sensei Wu took another long pause and thought about it.

(Y/N)'s body continued to smoke still petrified in place from Hela's violent assaults.



Lloyd tried to reach out for (Y/N) but Morro scoffed at him. "I-Idiot... This is a memory... This already happened t-to her... S-she's already suffered through all this..."



Lloyd collapsed on the ground arm still outstretched towards (Y/N). "Why... dose i-it hurt... S-so much?" Lloyd struggled to say, the pain was immeasurable.



Morro smirked at the weakling, Lloyd would never be able to comprehend someone like (Y/N). Someone who sacrificed their whole life training for a single purpose.



"We're feeling what she felt... All the pain... All the sorrow... The need for revenge..."



(Y/N) opened her orangish-red cloured eyes the rage inside them was burning brightly.



(Third Person P.O.V)



"Remember, I'm in charge. We're not stealing the Scroll we're returning it to the library after we learn Airjitzu." Cole stated reminding the Ninja of their plan.



"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Jay chuckled to himself. "And we're Ninja! Let's keep it quiet." Cole said in a hushed tone.



"Ninja go!" They all whispered at once. Unfortunately, the roof gives way under Jay and he falls through the roof. "Whoa!" Jay could be heard saying. "Aah! Get out of here, you blue weirdo!" A woman shouted as Jay quickly climbs back out in a hurry.



"Let's try to be a little quieter, shall we. Remember we're Ninja." Kai hissed at Jay. Jay stuck out his tongue at Kai.



What the Ninja didn't know is that Soul Archer had dragged Ronin to his shop of stolen antiquities not long before they had arrived.



Ronin was sweating bullets he really needed to stop getting himself into these situations. Sure the life of a thief was never expected to be easy. A thief had to steal their way into a decent life, let alone a good one.



But how was he supposed to know that stealing that copper Nindroid's arm would cause all this?



The debt he was in with the Soul Archer had created more issues than Ronin could solve on his own; with the money, he owed continuing to pile up more day after day, month after month, year after year.



The debt now added up to the enormous sum and Ronin knew his life was literally at stake if he didn't pay it off.



That was when he caught sight of (Y/N) the girl was a natural thief and a natural charmer just look at the way the Serpentine followed her around not to mention that deep sachel of hers if he had the girl under his thumb he could erase his debt to the ghost in no time.



Ronin figured he could steal the copper Nindroid and blackmail the girl into working for him as a master thief for its return. He'd done it for that snake enthusiast, Chen.



What Ronin didn't count on was that Echo wasn't as solid as Zane and only managed to make off with the Nindroids arm.


The second thing Ronin didn't count on was the fact (Y/N) was an effective tracker, who could track him down within four minutes or (Y/N)'s ruthlessness that instead of negotiating for the arm back she just beat him mercilessly and take it back.



Before Ronin had blacked out he heard Miss (Y/N) say. "If I ever see you again you will regret it."



Now here he was chained up to Soul Archer. Ronin was regretting it alright. Outside the door, voices could be heard.



"You're supposed to pick the lock, not try to bite it off." Kai teased. "If I had my powers I'd zap it after I zapped you!" Jay spat at Kai.



"Help—" Ronin tried to get out a cry for help but Soul Archer covered his mouth. "Not a word." Soul Archer commanded Ronin grunts as Soul Archer gagged with duct tape.



The Ninja broke in through the window. "Great, now we're on the hook for breaking and entering." Kai hissed at the Ninja of Earth.



"Look I don't like sneaking around in the dark any more than you do, so let's just find the Scroll and get out of here." Cole hissed back at the fire ninja.



"Hey, if you don't like sneaking around why become a Ninja?" Jay teased trying to lighten the mood.



"Ah, I found it!" Cole cheered happily. "Did you find the scroll?" Jay gasped in anticipation.



"No, my father's trophy. I'm taking it back. He danced hard for this." Cole answered holding it up for an annoyed Jay to see.



"The faster we find the Scroll, the faster we can work on the next clue that will lead us to the tomb. Then we can save Lloyd and (Y/N)." Jay hissed back angry that Cole was wasting time.



Cole flinched while Zane and Kai pulled pained faces Jay hung his head. (Y/N) was a sore subject for all the ninja while they put on a brave face in front of a greaving Lloyd but Lloyd wasn't here right now.



They all had feelings for her but she hated all of them right now it was a bitter and painful taste in all the ninja's mouths.



Soul Archer seeing his chance to attack the distracted Ninja possessed an organ and grabbed Jay. Jay screamed in terror.



"Sdneirf s'orroM fo eno rehtona!" (Another one of Morro's friends!) Zane screamed in alarm.



"I got water!" Kai shouted to Jay as he used a flower vase but there was no water. "Hey, these flowers are fake!" Kai complained.



"Argh, nothing here is legit." Cole hissed as he threw a water jug at Soul Soul Archer but he managed to escapes.



Ronin managed to get up and get half the duct tape off. "Cut me free." Ronin shouted.



"Not until you give me the Scroll." Kai demanded. "You'll never find it!" Ronin declared and pushes a button. A Vengestone net trap falls but fails to catch Soul Archer or the Ninja.



"Uh, that wasn't supposed to happen? What is going on? First Soul Archer shows up now this! (Y/N) wasn't kidding when she said I regret ever seeing her again." Ronin bemoaned his sudden run of terrible luck.



Ronin kicks the wall causing a vase to fall over and reveal the Scroll. "Oh, come on!" Ronin shouted to the heavens.



"The Scroll!" Ninja all shouted and made a dive for it only for Soul Archer to snatch it first.



"Ah, no! He's got the Scroll. We can't let him get away!" Jay shouts out chasing after the ghost his brothers follow him Ronin is left struggling in the Meteor Hammer as he rolls along the ground.



He can't outrun the four of us. Cole declared. Jay screamed as he falls down the same roof again. "Aah! Not again!"



"Scratch that, guess it's just the three of us." Cole corrected himself grabbing a telephone wire to swing to another building Kai follows him but Zane is left behind.



"Etanutrofnu s'taht." (That's unfortunate.) Zane sighed. "Looks like it's just the two of us now." Cole tells Kai as they jump across buildings but Cole's last jump comes up short.



Ronin manages to untangle himself and whistle for R.E.X before climbing in Ronin pulled out a box with Aeroblades inside and boards R.E.X.



As he's leaving Ronin spots Kai trapped by Strangle Weed Ronin the ever-slimy, money-grubbing thief new an opportunity when he saw it.



Ronin came flying in on R.E.X. "Looks like you could use a lift. But nothing in life is free." Ronin said with a grin.



"You slimy, money-grubbing thief!" Kai shouted at Ronin as the Strangle Weed started grabbing ahold of him. "I don't have money! I don't even have pockets!"



"Come on, you guys once had the Golden Weapons. You honestly telling me you've never pinched anything?" Ronin counted. "No! We don't pinch. And we don't even have pockets." Kai shouted at the thief.


"Everyone's got something and because of you, my shop was destroyed." Ronin said in a sing-song voice.



"We didn't destroy it. You did!" Kai screamed as the Strangle Weed took a hold of him.



"Okay, your loss." Ronin says as he turns leave. "Wait! There is something." Kai pleaded. Ronin goes back to him. "Ha! Like I said everyone's got something." Ronin smirked.



(Third Person P.O.V)



"Ugh, so after all this, Morro gets Airjitzu and we're left with zip? I hate this." Jay complained.



"Eerga I." (I agree.) Zane sighed."We didn't lose everything. At least Kai's okay and we'll figure something out." Cole said trying to pick up everyone spirits.



"Thanks for the pick-me-up." Kai said sadly as Ronin handed Kai a box. "As we agreed Aeroblades forged by Deepstone, an aquatic material mined from the bottom of the ocean. Able to get rid of the Ghost. Very unique. Even more expensive."



Kai gives them to the other Ninja. "These better work." Kai warned Ronin. "They will and remember I'm going to hold you that deal. So long and I hope you get your friends back." Ronin says as he leaves.



"Wait. What did he mean by that? Cole questioned Kai. "Kai, what did you give him?" Jay asked crossly.



"I sort of gave him...my shares of the tea farm...along with all of yours." Kai admitted rubbing the back of his neck.



"You what!? Nice negotiations Kai!" Jay screamed. "Sensei Wu's going to flip!" Cole said in shock. "Swen elbirroh s'taht!" (That's horrible news!) Zane bemoaned.



"I did what I had to for Lloyd and (Y/N) and I'd do it again." Kai said defending his actions. "We may have lost out on the Scroll but there may be another way to learn Airjitzu."



The three remaining ninjas immediately began to speak simultaneously. "We're still gonna fly?" "Really? Another way?" "Swen taerg si siht." (This is great news.)



"But I have to ask if Morro has the only Scroll, just how are we gonna learn Airjitzu?" Cole questioned the ninja of fire.



"Let's just say, it's not gonna be easy. We have a Ghost of a chance." Kai said rubbing the back of his neck.
