Chapter 1: From noodles to news
It is a beautiful evening on Ninjago Island. You had a nice day training with the Ninja, and you're all out together for a group meal at Skylor's Noodlehouse.
After Kai is finished making lovey eyes at her, he turns to you. "Well, Master of Matter, you're a great fighter. And that's high praise coming from me. You were on fiy-aaa!" He says, lighting his hand on fire to emphasize his statement.
"Was she? That's great to hear, but it seems like you're more on fire at this point." Skylor says, walking up to your table.
Kai's fireball flares out of control with her nearby, and he quickly waves his hand to put it out. "Ow-ow-ow!" He yelps in pain, then nonchalantly leans his chin on his hand. "Thanks, babe!", he says, winking at her. She rolls her eyes happily, then gives a little gasp. "No, you're really on fire!"
Kai shouts in alarm as the front of his smouldering hoodie suddenly lights ablaze. "Nya, put it out!" He yells, jumping up and down in his seat. A small column of water appears and douses him. "Thanks, Sis." He says dryly.
"Hey, you wanted Waterlily to help. Personally, I would've just dumped a glass of water on you or something." Cole interrupts.
"Statistically speaking, a glass of water is 38.29 percent less effective in the given circumstances than a column of water with a comparable diameter."
"Really, Zane? You're doing this now?" Cole asks.
"Well, he is a Nindroid. He's a walking computer." Jay adds.
Cole sighs. "There are no bad guys to fight, I'm bored of training, and Zane's spitting numbers at me. There's nothing to do. I just wish...
"Don't say wish!" Jay and Nya shout as one.
"O-o-o-k." Cole says slowly. "I mean, if only there was something to do."
"Things have been rather uneventful." Zane agrees.
"If you're bored, I could tweak Zane's voice module again"... Jay says gleefully, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. There is a unified chorus of 'NO!' from the ninja.
"When did Jay do that?" You ask curiously.
"It wasn't much more than a couple of years ago. We were battling Morro back then. Kai broke Zane's voice thingy"... Cole begins.
"Module." Zane supplies. "I was speaking in reverse because of the resulting damage."
"Whatever. Anyway, Jay 'fixed' him, but Zane's volume got stuck. He was loud." Cole continues.
"It was a heightened decibel." Zane confirms.
"Hey, at least I got him to talk normally again!" Jay defends himself.
"You call speaking like a pirate normal?" Nya asks.
"Well, he's Zane. Who knows?"
"Excuse me." You are itching to ask a question before Jay starts a conversation about Zane's extracurricular activities. "Who is Morro?"
"More like was. Or maybe it is is. Uhhh. Hmmm." Jay looks thoughtful.
"What spark-plug is trying to say is, Morro's hard to explain." Cole says.
"He possessed me, stole the realm crystal, and literally brought hell to Ninjago." Lloyd quietly speaks up for the first time since entering the restaurant. He has a distant look in his eyes, as if reliving a nightmare.
"He also sacrificed himself to destroy said hell, made peace with Master Wu, and later warned us when our old enemies escaped from the Departed Realm in order to destroy us." Nya adds.
"Wow. So when you said possessed, Lloyd, you mean Morro's a ghost?" Lloyd nods. "Whoa. Then where is he now?"
"I don't think he's in the Departed Realm. That's what worries me."
"Why would you say that?" Jays asks.
"Because since he possessed me, I can sort of sense him. He's definitely not there. He's in Ninjago."
