Stiix and stones

Looking for Ronin to get the Scroll of Airjitzu, the ninja arrived on the docks of Stiix.

Fisherman: Welcome to Stiix. Watch your step. Oh, I caught one. It's a big fella. Ugh, whoa. Whoa!

He was pulled into the Endless Sea.

Fisherman: Ugh. Dagnabbit.

The ninja then saw Kai looking at the down nervously.

Jay: I didn't know you were afraid of heights.

Kai: I'm fine with heights. It's water I hate.

Zane: Didn't seem to have a problem before.

Kai: Before I was on a Fire Dragon and a boat that I felt safe on.

Cole: Well it's safe on the docks too.

Kai: Well I can't swim.

Jay: You can't swim?

Kai: My parents disappeared before I could learn, so.

Cole: Well don't worry. If something happens, then we'll help you.

Kai: Thanks. But I still wish that we were in place that dosen't look like it's gonna break any min-Aagh!

A plank broke under him but Cole pulled him up.

Cole: Well, now that we know ghosts don't like water either, at least we should feel safe surrounded by it.

Jay: Ugh, what a dump. You'd think the thief who stole the Scroll of Airjitzu would have better taste.

Cole: Uh, this is Ronin we're talking about. He'd steal the sea if it were worth anything. We just have to figure out which rock he's under and get to the Scroll before Morro does.

Zane: Let's split up and start looking.

The ninja arrived at a pawn shop and started looking. Cole found something.

Cole: Wait a minute, this is my dad's Blade Cup trophy. What's it doing in a pawn shop?

Kai: Selling stolen goods? Ha, sounds like we might have stumbled on the right place.

Ronin came in whistling while carrying a vase.

Jay: Ronin.

Ronin: Huh?

He tried to flee but was stopped.

Jay: Going so soon?

Ronin: If this is about our last encounter, it was only business.

Kai: You mean that you left us in the mouth of a-

Ronin: So you're still upset. Let me make it up to you.

He put his vase down and pushed a button.

Ronin: Aha!

The Vengestone net trap failed.

Ronin: Uh, that was a mistake. I can explain that.

Cole: Argh, nothing here is legit, including you.

Jay: Yeah. I bet your airship's not far either. What do you call it again? Rylo? Ruby?

Ronin: R.E.X. And could you have a little sympathy? Sold her so I could buy this place. As you can see, I'm trying to make an honest living.

Kai: Honest enough to steal the Scroll of Airjitzu?

Ronin: The Scroll of Who-whatzu?

Jay: Airjitzu. It can make a Spinjitzu Master fly.

Cole: Yeah. So hand it over or we can make you fly.

Ronin: Whoa, cool down, fella. Even if I had such a thing, it sounds pretty old and important. Definitely not something I'd keep on site. And definitely too much for you to afford. Maybe I can interest you in some unique weapons? I've got Jadeblades, obsidian armor...

Zane: Have anything that can vanquish ghosts?

Ronin: Hmm, ghosts you say?

Cole: Yeah. They hate water, but we're not looking for water balloons. We need something reliable.

Ronin: Hmm, what you're looking for is an Aeroblade, forged by Deepstone, an aquatic material mined from the bottom of the ocean. Very unique. Even more expensive.

Kai: Ugh, can't you see he's giving us the runaround? We want the scroll, Ronin. What do you want for it?

Ronin: Two hundred.

Jay: What? Two hundred? We don't have that kind of dough!

Ronin: Come on, you guys once had the Golden Weapons. You honestly telling me you've never pinched anything?

Kai: No! We don't pinch. And we don't even have pockets.

Cole: What if we were to tell you all of Ninjago depends on it?

Ronin: Well then, that changes everything. Four hundred.

Jay: Argh, you can't just double the price!

Ronin: My shop, my rules.

The ninja huddled together.

Cole: What do you think, Zane?

Zane: Well, I say we give him what he wants. I sense if we won't, Morro will.

Kai: All right, but let me negotiate.

Kai: Two hundred.

Ronin: Four hundred.

Kai: Five hundred

Ronin: Four hundred

Kai: Three hundred

Ronin: Two hundred

Kai: Deal.

They shook hands before Ronin realised what happened. And the others were in shock.

Jay: How did you-

Kai: When buying material for a new sword. I always negotiate.

Cole: Okay, but we still need to get that money.

Kai: Okay. But Zane, you can be the leader.

Zane: Alright. Let's get some money.

Behind Steep Wisdom, was Wu training Nya. Pyther watched.

Wu: Your training to become the Master of Water begins now. To become water, you must find its qualities within yourself. While earth is strong and air is fluid, water can be both, strong and fluid. Over time, it's strong enough to carve this rock. Or if I use my cup to stop its flow, it can adapt. It's flexible, shapeless. You put water in a cup, it becomes the cup. You put it into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Be water, Nya. On your hands!

Nya did a handstand on the rock.

Wu: Very good. Your mother would be proud.

Nya: I hate to break it to you, but sometimes Elemental Powers can skip a generation. Maybe you're wrong about me. If the ninja so desperately need my help, isn't it best if I'm Samurai X?

Wu: Samurai X cannot do Spinjitzu.

He Spinjitzud his way off the rock.

Wu: And Samurai X cannot unlock her own Elemental Dragon.

He summoned his dragon.

Nya: You never told us you could do that.

Pyther petted the dragon.

Wu: A Sensei never tells. Besides, water is the only weapon against a ghost, for though they can pass through solid objects, they cannot pass through what never stands still. What's flexible to us is rigid to them. And since the ninja no longer have their Elemental Powers, it's all but imperative that you go with the flow. One hand!

He threw his cup to her to catch.

Nya: Unh! Oh.

Wu: To find your Full Potential, we must find what makes you weak, for in your weakness-

Nya: Lies strength? Yeah, I got it. And I don't mean to boast, but I'm pretty good at almost everything I pick up. Can you even count the times I've had to rescue the others?

Wu: Yes, Nya. Your merits don't go unnoticed, but by the end of the day, we will find your flaw. Before then, the bucket test!

He threw her a bucket.

Nya: The bucket test?

Wu: Simple: fill it with water. When it is completely full, your training today is done.

She scooped up some water, but noticed it was leaking through a hole. She groaned.

Wu: I said it was simple, not easy. Go with the flow.

He turned to see Pyther cuddling his dragon. He just chuckled.

The ninja went back to the docks.

Foreman: Oh, glad you four showed up. Even with a hundred coin a head, couldn't find anyone willing to go out there and complete the dock.

Kai: Er, I don't know, we have to work over water?

Foreman: Ain't the water you gotta be careful of. It's Strangle Weed. Grabs a hold of you, doesn't let go. But I could use a good team. How about it?

Zane turned to Kai.

Zane: Just remind yourself, after we complete this, we'll be able to buy the Scroll.

Kai nodded as Zane turned back to the foreman.

Zane: Uh, we'll do it!

The ninja started working. By placing plank to a dock.

Zane: Keep your eyes on the prize! Let's bring it in slowly. Come on, guys. One team, one dream!

Jay and Cole: Hey!

Zane: Let's do it again!

Jay and Cole: Hey!

Zane: There's nothing to it! Let's do it!

Jay and Cole: Hey!

Zane laughed.

Foreman: Oh. Would you look at that?

Jay and Cole: Hey!

Foreman: What a team.

Zane: Excellent!

He tried to shoo a fly away, but accidentally swallowed it and started struggling.

Kai: What is that supposed to mean? You want me to swing it? Okay, you're the leader.

He swang it and almost hit Jay and Cole.

Cole: Zane, look out!

Zane got hit. But he was fine except for one thing.

Zane: Enif m'I. Gnikrow trats dna pu tilps s'tel. ("I'm fine. Let's split up and start working".)

The others looked at him confused.

Pixal: It appears your entire language database is damaged, and there's nothing I can do.

Zane: Sdrawkcab s'eludom eciov ym. ("My voice module's backwards.")

He then saw a Strangle Weed.

Zane: Deew elgnarts eht ,eloc! Tuo hctaw! ("Cole, the Strangle Weed! Watch out!")

Cole: What's wrong with him?

Jay: I don't know. I think he's talking backwards. Slow down! We can't understand you!

Zane: Deew elgnarts! Deew elgnarts! ("Strangle Weed! Strangle Weed!")

The strangle weed grabbed Cole.

Cole: Ah! Strangle Weed! It's got me!

Kai saw this.

Kaya: Cole! I'm coming.

He jumped out but accidently hit the drop button. He and Zane were able to save Cole, but a pole dropped and accidentally destroyed the dock.

Cole: So, heh, how about getting paid?

The foreman groaned. And later was Jay trying to fix Zane.

Jay: Ah, his voice mod's on the fritz. I can fix it, but it's gonna take time.

Zane: Ti si ,dab taht ton s'ti? ("It's not that bad, is it?")

Cole: Sorry, Zane, you tried to lead, but I guess it just didn't work out.

Kai: I'm sorry too Zane. It seems like I can't think straight right now.

Zane: Iak yako s'ti. ("It's okay Kaya.")

Cole: Yeah it happens to the best of us.

Kai smiled but then sighed.

Kai: No money, no scroll. And it couldn't have happened at a worse time.

Jay: What are you, a bunch of quitters? Sure, we can't understand Zane, but did we ever? But now I'm in charge. We may not have the money to buy the Scroll, but I say we don't need it.

Cole: And why's that?

Jay: 'Cause we're gonna steal it!

Cole: Jay, we're ninja, not thieves!

Jay: Yeah, but we're stealing from a thief. Haven't you ever heard, two wrongs make a right?

Kai: Uh, Jay, that's not how it goes.

Zane: "Thgir a ekam t'nod sgnorw owt" s'ti. ("It's 'two wrongs don't make a right.'")

Kai gestured his hand at Zane with an "exactly" face.

Jay: Shut it, Mush Mouth. I'm the leader and what I say goes. After Ronin locks up tonight, we steal the Scroll of Airjitzu.

Morro summoned Soul Archer using the Allied Armor of Azure.

Soul Archer: You summoned me?

Morro: Ugh, I need help to procure the first clue that will lead me to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master. Ronin has the Scroll of Airjitzu.

Soul Archer: Ronin? Hmm, he owes me a large debt.

Morro: But he's on Stiix.

Soul Archer: The village built on water?

Morro felt weak.

Morro: This armor, it weakens me. At the same time, Lloyd is fighting my possession.

Soul Archer: Then let my bow give you strength and point the way.

He shoot an arrow at Stiix's sign.

Soul Archer: Tonight, we will take what's ours.

Morro: Master will be pleased.

Nya filled the bucket and brought it to Wu.

Nya: Ugh, there. Bucket's full. Not so hard.

He saw that Nya used a stopper.

Wu: The bucket is not full. Try again.

Nya: Ugh. This is impossible!

Wu: This is not impossible. This is thinking outside the bucket. Going with the flow. Finding where you are weak.

Nya: I'm not weak! This bucket is weak!

She kicked it into the pond and walked away.

Nya: I'm trying to fill the bucket all day, it's never gonna happen! Face it, I'm not a Water Ninja, I'm a Samurai! This is pointless! I filled the bucket!

Misako and Pyther came over.

Misako: It appears the day was a waste.

Wu: On the contrary, I've finally discovered her weakness: feeling weak.

Nya: I'm good at everything else, why do I have to be good at filling buckets!? Go with the flow? I'll show you how I go!

Wu: She's good at so many things, but when put in a position to fail, she gives up. And because of her temper, she didn't even realize she's successfully completed the task. Her bucket is full.

They saw the bucket in the pond.

At Stiix, Jay reminded the ninja of their plan.

Jay: Remember, I'm in charge. We're not stealing the Scroll, we're returning it to the library after we learn Airjitzu.

Cole: Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Jay: And we're ninja! Let's keep it quiet.

All: Ninja, go!

Jay fell down a roof.

Jay: Whoa!

Woman: Aah! Get out of here, you blue weirdo!

He climbed out.

Jay: Let's try to be a little more quiet, shall we? Last I remember, we're ninja.

Ronin was whistling in his shop but Soul Archer then pointed his arrow at him.

Ronin: Huh? Soul Archer. I thought I was gonna have more time. I'm a little short.

Soul Archer: I'll return for your debt later, but for now, I came for something else.

Ronin: Uh, if this is about our last-Aah!

He then saw Morro.

Ronin: Lloyd, you're a little late. Your friends were just here. Or should I call you by another name?

Soul Archer: The ninja. They were already here?

Morro: Where's the Scrolls of Airjitzu?

Ronin: The Scroll of Who-whatzu? Hey, love the armor. A little dinged up, but I'll make you a fair offer.

Morro grabbed him.

Ronin: Aah! I'll tell you what I told the ninja, it's not here. But I can get it for five hundred?

They heard the ninja outside.

Kai: You're supposed to pick the lock, not try to bite it off.

Jay: Ugh, if I had my powers, I'd zap it, after I zap you!

Ronin: Help-

Morro covered his mouth.

Morro: Hide. Let them find it, then take it.

The ninja broke in through the window.

Cole: Great, now we're already on the hook for breaking and entering.

Kai: I don't like sneaking around in the dark any more than you do, so let's just find the Scroll and get out of here.

Jay: Hey, when you guys were leaders, you never heard me complain. And if you don't like sneaking around, why become a ninja? And leave no stone unturned.

Ronin grunted when he was tied up and gagged with duct tape.

Morro: Not a word.

Jay: The faster we find the Scroll, the faster we can work on the next clue that will lead us to the tomb. Then we can save Lloyd, and it will be all because of me.

Cole: Ah, I found it!

Jay: You found the scroll?

Cole: No, but I found my father's trophy. I'm taking it back. He danced hard for this.

Kai: Wait. So did they take back the fangblade after what happened with the great devourer?

Cole thought a little.

Cole: I guess. All I know is that I'm taking this back.

Soul Archer, possessed an organ and grabbed Jay.

Jay: Aah! Holy pipes! The organ's got me!

Cole: Uh, it's possessed by a ghost! I forgot what we're supposed to do.

Jay: Water! Water!

Kai: I got water! Ugh!

He used a flower vase, but there was no water.

Ksi: Hey, these flowers are fake!

Jay: We're on a village built entirely over water. Please, take your time!

Cole: Aha!

He threw a water jug at him, but Soul Archer escaped.

Zane: Sdneirf s'orroM fo eno rehtona! ("Another one of Morro's friends!")

Kai: I think he said "another one of Morro's friends."

Morro: And there's more where that came from!

He summoned three more ghosts.

Cole: We're gonna need more water.

Ronin managed to get up and get half the duct tape off.

Ronin: Cut me free.

Kai: Not until you give us the Scroll. You're not the only one who can make a deal remember.

Ronin: Then at least take an Aeroblade and get rid of a few of these ghosts.

Kai: You said they were hard to come by.

Ronin: I'm a businessman, that was business. Whoa!

He dogged one of the ghosts.

Ronin: This is personal. Now cut me free.

Kai: Not before we check out the merchandise.

He destroyed a ghost with it.

Kai: Huh? They worked! Try these!

He gave more Aeroblades to the other ninja. And they destroyed more ghosts.

Jay: Haha! Now who's scared of who?

Ronin used Jay's Aeroblade to free himself and started fighting with Morro.

Morro: Where is the Scroll?

Ronin: You'll never find it!

He kicked Morro into a vase, revealing the Scroll.

Ronin: Whoa!

Ninja: The Scroll!

Morro: Only one of us shall possess it.

Ronin: Yeah, me!

He whistled, grabbed the Scroll, and escaped on R.E.X.

Jay: Ah, I told you his ship wasn't far!

Ronin: Sorry to leave you hanging, but since this Scroll's so important, I can't just give it away.

Morro used Wind on him, making him fall out. Unable to summon his ship again, he ran away. Following Morro and the ninja.

Soul Archer: Run, run, run away. My arrow will find you anyway.

The arrow flew towards Ronin but he used a sign to shield himself

Ronin: Right. Unh, that was close.

Morro: But so am I.

He took the Scroll and ran off.

Jay: Ah, no! Morro's got the Scroll. We can't let him get away!

They chased after him.

Cole: He won't outrun the four of us.

Jag fell down a roof again.

Jay: Aah!

Woman: Aah! Not again!

Cole: Scratch that, guess it's just the three of us.

Everyone used a telephone wire to swing to another building, but Zane was left behind.

Zane: Etanutrofnu s'taht. ("That's unfortunate.")

Cole: Looks like it's just the two of us now.

When Kai and Cole jumped across buildings, Cole's jump was too short and he fell.

Kai: Cole.

Cole: Whoa! Go, Kai!

Morro lead him to the docks.

Kai: Ah, great. More water.

Morro used his Wind to propel himself to an out-of-reach pole, too far for Kai to jump to. He then read the scroll. Strangle weed started to creep up on Kai.

Morro: What's the matter? Can't swim?

After doing Airjitzu, he summoned his Dragon.

Morro: Looks like the better ninja won.

He flew away and picked up Soul Archer. Kai was surrounded by strangle weed and Ronin came flying on R.E.X.

Ronin: Looks like you could use a lift.

Kai reached for the ladder but Ronin pulled it away.

Ronin: Nuh-uh-uh. Nothing in life is free.

Kai: You fucking slimy, money-grubbing thief!

Strangle Weed started grabbing him.

Kai: I don't have money! I don't even have pockets!

Ronin: Everyone's got something. 'Cause of you, my shop's destroyed.

Kai: We didn't destroy it. You did!

Ronin: Okay, your loss.

He left.

Kai: Wait! There is something.

Ronin came back to him.

Ronin: Ha! Like I said, everyone's got something.

The others met up on a table.

Jay: Ugh, so after all this, Morro gets Airjitzu and we're left with zip? I hate being leader, but I hate losing even more.

Zane: Eerga I. ("I agree.")

They then saw Kai.

Cole: We didn't lose everything. At least Kai's okay. Tomorrow, I'll command, and we'll figure something out.

Kai: Thanks for the pick-me-up.

Ronin: Remember what I said about second chances, and I'm gonna hold you that deal. So long, and I hope you get your friend back.

He left.

Cole: Second chances? What did he mean by that?

Kai: We may have lost out on the Scroll, but he thinks there may be another way to learn Airjitzu.

Cole: We're still gonna fly?

Jay: Really? Another way?

Zane: Swen taerg si siht. ("This is great news.")

Cole: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a sec, Ronin makes deals in his favor. How did you make a deal with him this time

Jay: Kai, what did you give him?

Kai: I sort of gave him...my shares of the tea farm...along with all of yours.

Jay: You what!?

Zane: Swen elbirroh s'taht! ("That's horrible news!")

Kai: I did what I had to, and for Lloyd, I'd do it again.

Cole: Kai's right. We would've done the same thing. But I have to ask, if Morro has the only Scroll, just how are we gonna learn Airjitzu?

Kai: Let's just say, it's not gonna be easy. We have a ghost of a chance.
