Chapter 4: Wu sent you, didn't he?!!
You wake up the next morning to find your head resting on Morro's chest, and his arm wrapped around your waist. Mmm... Not a bad place to be... You think drowsily.
The chicken strolls in and tilts her head at the both of you, then looks at Morro's foot with one bright beady eye.
"Don't you dare!!!" You hiss at her.
She stares at you deliberately for a moment, then brings her beak down hard onto his foot.
Morro immediately jolts awake. "OW!!! SONOFTHEFIRSTSPINJITZUMASTER!!!"
You glare at the chicken. "Wu, sent you, didn't he?!!"
The chicken runs out of the room cackling.
Wu walks in a few seconds later. "Ah, I see that the chicken was already here." He states unnecessarily.
Morro mutters darkly about wringing her neck the next time that it happens, but becomes silent when Wu looks at him sharply. "I heard that!!!"
Morro grumbles an apology. "M'sorry."
"What did you need, Master?"
"I was hoping to solve the prophecy with you."
You wave a hand over your shoulder airily. "Eh. We've already figured out part of it."
Lloyd and Jay run in and fling themselves into a couple of beanbag chairs in the corner. "Really?!!"
Jay unscrews the cap of a water bottle and yells into it. "Hey, Nya! I choose you!!!" He tosses the bottle onto the floor, and a ball of swirling water bursts forth from it.
"I'm baaack!"
Lloyd shouts out at the top of his lungs. "NINJA TEAM, ASSEMBLE!!!"
Kai, Cole, Zane, and Pixal join the assembly in short order.
"Please divulge to us exactly what you have deciphered thus far." Pixal begins.
You tap a pencil against your chin thoughtfully. "Well, the 'foundation of the world' is matter-"
"-I figured that part out." Morro says proudly.
"Yes... Now be quiet, I'm talking!" Morro grins as you take a breath and continue, "-I'm thinking that the 'shake' bit is about my wonky powers... Now this 'stone awakening' part probably isn't about Cole, because his powers have already been awakened rather a lot recently-"
"-In the form of his Spinjitzu Burst." Zane supplies.
"Quite right. So that got me thinking. What if it's actually literal?"
Nya gasps. "Like, the Stone Warriors?"
"Bingo! Of course, it's just a guess at this point." You finish.
"But a worthwhile one to consider." Morro adds.
"-And what about the rest of the prophecy?" Cole questions.
You shrug. "Beats me. But you guys have to have some work to do, so get to codebreaking!"
