We walked up to the gate of Cloud Kingdom. The doors open and a man walks down the steps.
"Welcome to Cloud Kingdom. We've been excepting you."

"Ha, how are we-," Jay gets cut off.
"Standing on a cloud? Easy, in other realms, there are other rules."
"Nice to me you, I'm-," Kai begin.
"Kai, Yes, we all know. You're quite popular with the other monks."
"You know-," Cole gets interrupted.
"You've traveled far for the Sword of Sanctuary."
"Blimey! But how he you-," Zane gets stopped
"Finishing your sentences? I know, it's rather annoying, but up here we know, let's just say... we know what's going to come next."

I step forward. "So, you know that Morro is it far behind?"
"Yes, follow me and I'll explain."

—————————————

As we enter the main area the monks start whispering about us. "I know you're familiar with a few of the realms. Cloud Kingdom is just one more of the many."

"There must be more than ten," I conclude, whispering to Cole.
"I'm this realm, we strive for a greater understanding and let go of distractions. There's no tv and no video games."

Both, Jay and I groan. "It appears all any lad does here be writing," Zane says.
"That is because here out word matter. We are the writers of destiny. It was here that Lloyd became the green ninja and (Y/n), became the purple ninja."

Cole and I share looks, Jay still upset about no video games. "And just now, Zane should find his voice again."

"I sense my vocal pattern has returned without any repairs," Zane speaks, his voice no back to normal.
"How did that happen," I ask, a little uneasy about this. "It was written."

We walk ahead, Jay goes around, looking at all the writings, messing up a few. "If you know what happens next, then you know how important for us to get the Sword of Sanctuary."

"Yes, I also know about your worry for Lloyd. Sadly, we cannot ensure promises because we aren't allowed to chose sides." He gets closer to us, whispering. I back away slightly, not liking the closeness
"No one will tell you this, but we had intended for Morro to stay in the Cursed Realm."
"He was never supposed to get out," I gasped.
"Yes, he somehow defied destiny."

Zane shared a knowledgeable look with me, feeling indifferent about this whole situation. "Ever since Morro broke free, things had been happening out of our control."

"Well, quit talking and give us the sword," Kai demands. "Yeah, we'll stop Morro," I add.
"Look, we want to give it to you, but Master Writer wants to see you."

—————————————

We hopped onto a floating boat. Fenwick made it move, changing the surrounding around us. With every little change of scenery, I lost focus on the explanation. The Preeminent roared at us, shocking me from my distant state.

"If she gets out and curses Ninjago, there will be no stopping her reign until every last realm falls under her control," is all I get before it changed back to Cloud Kingdom.

"Now, if you just wait in here, the Master Writer will be with you soon," he pushes us into a small building and locks the doors behind us.

The room is filled with all kinds of toys. "Guys, I thought he said they didn't like distraction," I call, uneasily scanning the room. "It looks like they just put them all in here."

Jay cheers as he plays with the Pinball machine. "Jay, leave that alone," Cole warns.
"Whatever, whoever had this high score is going down!"
I hear strange growling come from the machine. "It doesn't sound right," Zane says, speaking my thoughts. "What is it?!"

Loud, pounding footsteps echo as two large doors burst open. Out comes a giant creature.
"WHAT IS THAT?!"

——————————————

We all scream as it roars, chasing after me. "Why is it going after me," I scream, terrified of the hairy monster chasing me. "I have no idea," Jay shouts back.

"Keep it on you, well find a way out," Kai shouts, whine I jump over many toys and throw the pinball machine at it. It roars even more and runs faster. "Uh-oh. I think I made it mad...!"

It picks me up and shocks me, tossing me onto Cole. "I guess, i know what it feels like to be shocked now," I say, twitching from the after shocks. Cole disappears through a wall as I join Zane in jumping away.

"The door," I hear Cole shout, him holding open the door. We all take a run for it, slamming it closed before that-that creature gets out.

"You know, Cole, I'm starting to like you as a ghost more and more," Kai says, placing a hand on Cole. Cole looks my way, a giddy smile places onto his lips.

Jay jumps forward, "it's Morro! With Fenwick!" I growl, my instincts punishing me for not knowing.

"Argh! I knew, I didn't trust him," I say out loud, pulling my hood over my face. "Come on!"

——————————————

We use the side of the bridge to climb up. I jump, along with the boys, when a monk yells to us. "You need to stop Morro from getting the Sword of Sanctuary! He doesn't know you escaped! Go!"

We look above to where the sword is held. On the tallest tower. "You know what I'm thinking?"

"Airjitzu!"
"Airjitzu!"
"Cyclondo!"

——————————————

I brush through the glass, seeing Morro take hold of the sword. The boys throw their weapons, while I use my powers. All of us fail to hit him.

"Too late. I know your every move," Morro growls, proceeding to dodge the ninjas attacks. "That means, Lloyd does too," I mutter, going to attack.

Just like the others, he throws me away, expertly stopping me from hitting him. "Lloyd," I shout, just as Morro jumps from the window.

He grunts, feeling Lloyd push against him, before running out, us chasing after him. "Why fight? I'll win every time?" Morro laughs, after we've failed to hit him again.

My instincts tell me to jump, but I stop them, pulling myself from attacking Morro. He flinched back, the sword not comprehending what just happened. I gasp. "Guys, keep trying!"

We all have to use Airjitzu to try and reach Morro. "Bye, bye, ninja." Then, I hear terrible screeching and get knocked off the platform.

Kai grabs my hand, stopping me from falling off the boat. I thank him while he pulls me up. The boat driver, or floating boat driver, stares at us. "Mind if we borrow this?"

He jumps off, allowing Cole to possess the boat. The boat tumbled back and forth...then stops. The giant creature has grabbed onto the boat.

Somehow, Fenwick got the attention of the creature, and began to get chased by it. I scream as our boat gets pulled back from the Cloud kingdom, loosing its ability to fly.

"Hold on!" Coke shouts, the boat drifting on ice, and catching up to Morro's.
"Abandon ship!" Zane shouts, grabbing onto me.

The boat crashes into the tree, but somehow I'm able to grab a plank and start using it as a snowboard. The others have also done the same. "Aw, Yeah!"

I jump up and down on the snow ride, waving my arms to distract Morro. "Haven't we met before," I joke. Bansha, grabs me and pulls me onto the boat. "You're staying with us."

I kind of let my body go limp and jump from Bansha, who unsuspectingly let go of me. I try to use my powers, but don't hit the boat, as I watch the Bounty take flight, joining us.

Suddenly, I watch as Goul Tar falls into the ship, slowing the ship down by minutes. I snort. "How is he even slowing them down," I laugh to the others.

Cole face palms, laughing also. Kai grabs my hand, leading towards the boat, while the others join Sensei up onto the Bounty.

"Let's get them, (Y/n)." Morro uses the sword, and dodges Kai's attack. "You guys again?"
"Is that a bad thing," I quip, helping launch Kai onto Morro's ship.

Kai goes to attack Morro, I stay back and watch their every move. "Come on, Lloyd!" I shout, "take control!"
Morro grabs his head, allowing Kai to land a hit.
"Sis, take the sword!" Morro says in Lloyd's voice.
I grab the sword, just as Morro takes control, and jump onto the Bounty with Kai, leaving Morro to fall off the cliff.

I collapse onto the Bounty, everyone cheering stops. "What's wrong," Kai asks. I push him away. "Lloyd is risking his life, when it should've been me!"

Cole comes up to me. "It's what he would do," he whispers, placing a kiss on my cheek with his Cole lips.

"You're right, plus, we got the sword!"
