YNs' POV:

You hear frantic voices around you, with one continuously rising higher above the others, nearly screaming in panic. "Somebody do something!!!"

Another voice speaks soothingly to the first, while a third person starts pumping rhythmically on your stomach. After a few moments, you give a hoarse gasp and begin retching up seawater.

Morro is hysterical with relief. "She's alive! Thank you, Zane!"

Zane stops pressing on your stomach and slowly stands up. "It was no problem, Morro. I am programmed with over 250 different medical procedures. I can also perform lobotomies, open-heart surgeries, and rectal-"

"OO-KAY!" Jay interrupts quickly. "-Thanks for the info, Zane!"

"I thought that you were dead for sure, YN!" Morro exclaims, fussing over you.

"I was dead, but then the First Spinjitzu Master sent me back here."

Wu brightens up. "You spoke to my father?"

"Yes, Master. He- He had a very ominous message. Darkness, an all-consuming night, blackness..." All of the ninja groan.

"Great. More trouble." Cole mutters.

"It will be nothing that we can't handle together as a team." Lloyd states wisely.

"Yep. We're doomed." Kai grumbles. "I mean, we can't even handle Jay's terrible sense of humor!"

"Hey!" Jay and Nya shout simultaneously.

"-I have a shock-ingly good sense of humor!" Jay replies, wounded. Nya giggles.

Kai shoots Jay a small look of dislike and huffs, crossing his arms across his chest. "You can still date someone else, Nya!" He pleads, "Jay is so annoying!"

"I don't think he's annoying. He's my sweet, cuddle Jaybear." Nya responds, smiling up at Jay. Jay smirks back at Kai, who growls.

Morro touches your arm softly. "YN..." He whispers.

"Yes, Morro?" You answer, turning to face him. You gasp. "M-Morro, y-you're fading!"

He nods sadly. "When I saved you, a drop of water landed on me. I'm sorry that I can't stay, but I'm glad that you'll be able to fully live out your life. I'll wait for you, I promise." He kisses you on the cheek and then sits down, patiently waiting to return to the Departed Realm once more.

"But I don't want you to go." You say quietly, tears forming unbidden in your eyes and falling freely down your face as his outline gradually all but disappears.

"I'd need to be grounded, remember?" Morro's voice echoes faintly around you.

A.N.  Hopefully I'm timing this about right!  (I know that the music ends sooner than the chapter, but editing the video is somehow beyond me.. *Shrugs*  Maybe I'll add a bit more to this eventually, but I like it!  That's a good enough reason for anything, right?!)

"You'd need to take on a physical form!" You murmur excitedly, recalling something that Morro told you earlier. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Morro?!"

"Of course!" A rustle close by you indicates that he has stood up. "I'm ready, YN."

You close your eyes and focus your power on the spot where Morro's standing. You picture his face, his hair, his hands... Every part of him, and then transfer those thoughts into a flesh-and-blood replica of the boy ghost. Matter swirls around him, spiraling up and attaching to his body until the process is complete. You collapse to the ground, exhausted, and anxiously watch to see if it worked.

A minute breeze rustles by, and then there is complete and utter silence as Morro's new body remains suspended in midair.

Then you detect the smallest movement from under his eyelids, and his chest begins to rise and fall. He clenches and unclenches his fists, and then twists his neck slightly. A grin slowly spreads across his face, and he opens one eye and winks at you. "Did I ever tell you how absolutely amazing you are, YN?" He laughs.

You tackle him to the ground in a massive hug. "MORRO!!!" You scream.

He nuzzles his face into your hair and breathes deeply. "I never thought that I would ever be able to feel things, or to live again. Thank you, my love."

"I believe that this calls for a celebration!" Zane says enthusiastically.
