Chapter 41: Saved?
YNs' POV:
"MORRO, NOOOO!!!" You scream.
"Ninja, jump now! Bansha's magic won't hold any longer!" Wu shouts, steering the Bounty as close as he is able to the disintegrating Ghost Bounty. Everyone immediately vaults off of the phantom ship and lands safely onto Wu's vessel. All except you.
"I'm sorry, everybody, but I'm going after him!" You don't give anyone a chance to stop you, you leap clear off of the other side of the ship, towards where you last saw Morro.
Please let me get to him in time...
Morro's POV:
I scream as I fall off the ship. I close my eyes. I know that my time in Ninjago is nearly over, and I thought that I had made my peace with that knowledge, but I realize that I want to stay with YN.
I suddenly snap my eyes open and let out a wild yell, releasing my power just before I hit the water. I keep myself buoyed up above the lethal waves with small gusts of wind, but I estimate that I can only keep it up for about a quarter of an hour before I tire enough for me to-
Well, that doesn't even bear thinking about...
I'm distracted from my thoughts by a weak scream and a splash. A faint voice calls my name, and I quickly direct myself towards it.
Someone is feebly attempting to tread water in this vast expanse of ocean, but it's hard to make out who it is in the dusky light of the setting sun.
"Morro!" The voice calls out hoarsely. Then the person accidentally ingests a lungful of seawater and begins spluttering.
"Oh my First Spinjitzu Master! YN!" I cry out. "Why'd you jump ship?!"
"You're.. Ghost. Didn't want you to..."
She breaks off her explanation with a series of violent coughs, then continues, "..That plasma blast... Sapped my energy... Too drained to swim..." She looks at me ruefully.
"..Guess I should've realized... That much power... Dumb of me... To jump... Huh?"
Her eyes start to roll back in her head, and she begins to sink into the waves. I don't even think, I just dive for her hand. A single drop of water lands on my hand, and I hiss, gritting my teeth, but I don't let go of YN. I pull her out of the ocean with a mighty roar, the wind buffeting around us and drying her off quite thoroughly. I hold her close against my chest, and she burrows deeper into it.
"They'll come for us, YN. Just hold on." I mutter worriedly.
"I... Trust... You..." She whispers softly to me, and then she slips into unconsciousness.
YN's POV:
You open your eyes in an emerald-green meadow and are nearly stunned by the brilliant light that assails you. The faint scent of cherry blossoms drift by on a light breeze, and in the midst of all this perfection, an old man calmly sits cross-legged, his back to you. You sense that he's been waiting here for you for quite some time.
You clear your throat gently, not wanting to startle him.
The man doesn't move or turn around, but he begins speaking to you nonetheless. "Ah." He sighs serenely, "I was wondering when I would make your acquaintance, young Master of Matter."
You gasp, shocked. "How'd you know who I was, sir?!"
"I know all of my relations. After all, I created most of them."
"Then that means that you're-"
"-Yes. I am the First Spinjitzu Master. Hello, YN."
