(Third Person P.O.V)
At the Steep Wisdom tea shop. Zane was putting up a "Closed for renovations" sign. While the other Ninja were building fortifications in anticipation of a ghost attack.
"There." Zane said putting up a sign. "That should keep customers away. Closed for renovations."
"More like fortifications. If Morro and his ghouls show up here looking to steal the Sword of Sanctuary they won't know what hit them." Kai declared as he set up a bucket of water on top of the door.
Cole almost had the bucket of water fall on him. "Aah! Be careful!" Cole screamed at Kai. "You know not all of us are immune to water!"
"We got Cyclon-do, we got the sword, now Misako and Sensei Wu just have to figure out where the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master is." Jay said extremely pumped.
"Let's hope they figure it out soon. I don't know how long we'll be able to hold out." Kai added looking back at the building.
Inside the tea shop, Misako and Sensei Wu were attempting to figure out the final clue.
"We know the skull represents his tomb." Sensei Wu said highly sure of his clam.
"But from everything that was ever written about it, there's nothing in Ninjago that matches its description. Where is it? The clues are all right here, but what are we missing?" Misako said frustrated at the lack of progress.
"We must not give up. If Morro finds it first and takes the Realm Crystal. I'd hate to think what would happen next." Sensei Wu sighed all this talk of his father was making him quite depressed.
Wu wished his brother was still here with him. The sound of a bell ripping him from his sombre thoughts.
Someone had stepped on a tripline and set off a bell. "The early-detection warning system. Intruder!" Misako shouted to the others. "Let them have it!" Kai declared and opened fire.
The Ninja sprang into action with their catapults and water balloons. Only to discover it was actually the Postman delivering a letter.
"No wonder you're going out of business." The Postman sighed handing over the now very soggy letter to Kai whom promptly reads it.
"Guys, It says they're gonna shut us down unless we drum up some business." Kai said summarising the letter for his brothers.
"Don't tell Ronin! If this place is worthless he won't stick around. We need all the help we can get." Jay warned the others.
"Come on, we're gonna need more water balloons." Cole said to Jay hoping to take his mind off the news.
Meanwhile, outside Ronin was whistling as he cleans R.E.X. while Nya tried to control the water in the hose Ronin was using.
"Come on! Reverse already!" Nya demanded but still the water wouldn't obey. Nya let out a frustrated sigh.
"Giving up already?" Ronin questioned looking up from his cleaning.
"Of course not. Sensei thinks if I get over my fear of failure and control issues. I'll be able to control the water but I can't seem to stop a single drop." Nya sighed bitterly.
"Speaking of your issues... What about (Y/N)?" Ronin asked in a hushed voice.
Nya paled a little at the mention of (Y/N). "She's free of Morro's control, right? Won't she be showing up here to even the score." Ronin asked taking a quick glance around the yard, just in case.
"I hope not. Like you said she'll want to even the score and everyone here is on that list." Nya said rather worried about what that outcome could be.
"There's got to be something you lot can do to pay her off." Ronin pointed out.
"Ronin. (Y/N) doesn't care about money." Nya began but Ronin cut her off.
"I'm not just talking cash I'm saying pay her off with an object of value or some information..." Ronin offered, trying to help keep (Y/N) away.
"It wouldn't work. (Y/N) isn't materialistic plus she hates us. So even if we did have any information she may want. She'd believe we were only lying to save our hides." Nya sighed this was a huge mess that they really didn't need to think of right now.
"Besides Lloyd burnt the only thing I've ever seen her want." Nya informed Ronin with a sad sigh. "There may be no getting out of this."
"Great. What was it? Just go to the store and buy her a new one problem solved." Ronin said triumphantly thinking he'd solved the problem.
"It was the only copy of a magic book that could have given her what she really wanted... Her way home in time to save her family..." Nya said watching as Ronin's face fell.
"Damn!" Ronin said dropping the hose.
"Didn't you lot try to stop him?" Ronin questioned not even bothering to pick up the running hose.
Nya shook her head no. "No wonder she's so angry! You lot basically helped kill off her family!" Ronin continued to shout. Nya flinched at Ronin harsh words.
"What's going on out here?!" Kai shouted coming out the back door with water balloons in hand.
"You helped kill (Y/N)'s family! Oh, My First Spinjitzu Master! I'm Gonna Die! I'm hanging out with murderers!" Ronin started to scream in hysterics.
Kai watched as Ronin continued to freak out about oncoming doom. Kai then turned to his sister for an explanation.
"We were talking about (Y/N)..." Nya admitted to her brother. Kai's face went completely red.
"I guess we should talk about 'IT' shouldn't we." Kai said not sure how to say what they were both thinking out loud.
"We should before it becomes any harder to deal with." Nya agreed.
"She-She might be f-family. Sis. What do we do? We've screwed up so much with her... I don't even know where to begin..." Kai stated bringing his hand to his mouth.
"If it any consolation bro, She doesn't know." Nya said trying to ease her brother's anguish.
"Nya! I'm serious. She hates us and not just because of what happened with that stupid book. She hates the pair of us on a personal level here." Kai pointed out.
"I know that Kai!" Nya snapped at him. "Don't yell at me Nya! You've tried to kill her! We're in seriously deep here!" Kai hissed back at his little sister.
"So have you! So has most of the people on this team. Besides, you forced her to kiss you back on the island. I bet you still have the hots for her too!" Nya accused and Kai turned as red as his ninja suit.
"Ha! I knew it!" Nya shouted pointing at her brother. "Nya! Shut Up! I'm dealing with a lot of confusing emotions that don't concern you!" Kai spat back still red in the face.
"Besides, when the team's fought with her at least we were upfront about it and didn't try to tick other people into hurting her for amusement." Kai counted now it was Nya's turn to go red in the face from anger.
"Amusement! That rich coming from you, Kai Smith. You're the one that got a kick out of trying to hurt her, not me." Nya spat at her brother.
As Kai and Nya continued to scream and yell at one and other neither noticed that Ronin had gone from hysterical to eerily calm.
(Third Person P.O.V)
Unbeknownst to the Ninja's Ronin was being telepathically contacted by Bansha from with the ghost warriors hidden hideout.
"Can he hear you?" Morro questioned. "Oh, he can hear me." Bansha smirked.
"Tell him it's time to pay his debt. Tell him to bring me the Sword of Sanctuary in exchange for Soul Archer removing his curse." Morro ordered.
"Say hi to Ronin for me!" (Y/N) called out to Bansha from her seat at a rotting wooden table. Bansha, Soul Archer and Morro turned to look at her.
(Y/N) and Ghoultar were playing cards together.
"Got any five's?" (Y/N) asked Ghoultar. Ghoultar looked at his cards then back at (Y/N) then back at his cards.
"Go. Fish." Ghoultar instructed and (Y/N) reached into the pile and picked up a card.
"What is she doing here Morro? She's been freed from the necklace why is she hanging around?" Bansha questioned Morro.
"I'm not entirely sure." Morro admitted truthfully. "She up to something but doesn't seem interested in stopping us in the slightest."
"Maybe she only wishes to see the Ninja's downfall?" Soul Archer offered as an explanation.
"Perhaps, the Ninja's have done her a great wrong." Morro answered still unsure of what (Y/N)'s motives even were. Right now she seemed only to be waiting around for something.
"Do as she asks, for now, tell Ronin (Y/N) says to say hello." Ronin instructed Bansha nodded and relayed the message.
(Third Person P.O.V)
Back at the Steep Wisdom tea shop the screaming match between Kai and Nya raged on.
"You've even tried to set her up with Dareth as payment for the dojo. That's way worse than anything I've ever done." Nya continued to yell at Kai.
"She likes Dearth! They're good friends! He'd make her really happy! Besides Dareth couldn't land a girlfriend if he tried!" Kai countered smugly.
"What do you know about girls, Kai! I've dated more boys that you've had crushes both may I remind you. Could have been related to you!" Nya shouted at her brother.
"And you've nearly destroyed this team by cheating on one member with another member of this team!" Kai screamed back at his sister.
Alarmed by all the screaming Sensei Wu, Misako, Zane, Cole and Jay came running outside thinking that the ghosts had arrived only to find Kai and Nya continuing to hurl past mistake and insults at each other as a shaken Ronin went inside.
Author Notes:
1) Ok, discussion time. People have been questioning how (Y/N) cursed the Elemental Masters with her Karma powers here's how:
In some cultures, it is believed that a person's Karma can be inheritance from ancestors. Think of it like Karmic inheritance.
Example: Your ancestors did something bad; that Karmic burden is then inherited down the generations until repentance, it is set right or rituals to alleviate Karmic burden is performed.
That is what (Y/N) has done when anyone talks about the curse (Y/N) has placed on them.
2) Don't forget to tell me what you think. :)
3) Thank you for reading and don't forget to voice whom you would like to see (Y/N) with I don't mind if you vote for a pair or group to win her heart.
