Y/n's Pov:

All of us except for Cole we're practicing Airjitsu. Kai uses Airjitsu to try and reach the flag but fails. He then tries again but didn't reach it.

"Aww, just short. Like your temper, Kai." Ronin said

"Let me try. I'm for sure better Airjitsuer than you, Kai." Jay said

"Oh yeah? And when did that happen?" Kai asked

"Like now!" Jay exclaimed

Jay then does Airjitsu but lands on his back.

"Oh, yeah, that was so much better than me." Kai said

"It...it was." Jay said

"That wasn't Airjitsu, that was Fail- itsu." Ronin  said

"Or Stupid-itsu." Kai said

"To master the powers of Airjitsu, we must uplift, not put each other down, Ronin." Sensei Wu said

"You close ship for a week, you gotta let me have some fun. Aren't Nindroids supposed to be precise?" Ronin said

"These new suits are heavy. Why can't we just use our old ones?" Kai asked

"These are embedded with Deepstone. They will protect you from being possessed." Sensei Wu explained

"Yeah, well, maybe the name Airjitsu isn't uplifting enough. Maybe we need something more inspiring , like...Cyclondo!" Jay said

He then does Airjitsu and goes past the flag and steals Ronin's fruit.

"Hey!" Ronin yelled

Jay then laughed and took a bite of the fruit.

"Cyclondo! Mm." He said

I sighed at his antics, "Is Cole still in his room?"

"Yeah. I tried to talk to him but he wouldn't come out of his room." Jay said

I was walking downstairs and saw Nya walking into Cole's room so I went with her.

"Don't feel like training? Huh?" I asked

"In case you haven't heard, I'm a ghost. And don't tell me we can fix this, cause we can't. This is just... who I am now." Cole said

He then put his hand through a cup and fell back on his bed.

"I don't feel anything anymore." He said

"Sensei told us our paths in life are never a straight line. Take me and Y/n for instance, I thought I was always destined to be Samurai X, but now I'm training to become the Water Ninja, no matter how horribly awful I am at that." Nya said

"Cole my whole life I thought I'd stay in my realm and help protect Berk. Have a what would called a normal life there but normal has many different definitions. What I'm trying to say is no matter what you are ghost or not you are still yourself." I said

"Look, all I know is, Ninja never quit." Nya said

"But I'm not a Ninja anymore. I'm a ghost." Cole said

"Then what do you do? I think that's something you have to answer on your own." Nya said

Kai then ran in front of the door.

"Misako's about to debrief us about the next clue." Kai said

"We'll be there in a moment." Nya told him

"And, sis, that color suits you well." Kai said

"Thanks. It's my favorite color." Nya said

Cole then got up and gave Nya and I a hug.

"No, you two, thank you." Cole said

"Anytime buddy." I said

                                     ***

"Now that both Morro and you have Airjitsu, it's time to turn our attention to the second clue, the Sword in the Cloud." Misako explained

"Me senses tell me it could be many a swords. Thar be the Fire Sword, the sword of Destiny, the Golden Cutlas." Zane listed in a pirate accent

"I thought you said you fixed his voice?" Kai asked

"I did. And then I made it better." Jay said

"The Sword of Invisibility, the Sword of Invincibility." Zane said in his pirate voice.

"You're right, he is better." Kai said

"The Blade of Ruin." Zane said

"Aye, Zane. And to add to your colorful account, there are many more swords. But it wasn't until Morro and his allies commandeered Nya's Samurai Mech that it all became clear. It's the Sword of Sanctuary, protected in the Cloud Kingdom." Misako explained

"Cloud Kingdom? I know every square inch of Ninjago, there ain't no place called The Cloud Kingdom." Ronin said

"That's because it isn't in Ninjago. It's in a parallel realm that can only be reached through the Blind Man's Eye." Sensei Wu said

"The Blind Man's Eye? You mean the powerful storm cyclone above the clouds? But to altitude is far too high for the Bounty to reach." Nya questioned

"Unless we ascend the tallest mountain in Ninjago. The Wailing Alps." Misako said

"Yes, The Wailing Alps. When the Blind Man's Eye passes its peak, you five Ninja will jump into the eye of the storm using Airjitsu to crossover into Cloud Kingdom, to take possession of the Sword of Sanctuary." Sensei Wu explained

"Whoa, whoa, Sensei, you're throwing around some big words here, but I think you got one wrong. It's Cyclondo, not Airjitsu." Jay said

We all groaned.

"So this Sword of Sanctuary that we're after, what makes it so special?" Cole asked

"It's special because reflected within its blade you can foresee your opponent's next move." Sensei Wu explained

"And whoever gets it, will have a huge advantage. Lights please." Misako said

"This is about more than finding the next clue to the Spinjitsu Master's Tomb. This is about saving my son. You cannot fail." She said

"Then let's gear up. We have one big mountain to climb." Kai said

We then started to fly closer to the mountain.

"It's getting really cold." Jay said

"Freezing if you ask me." Kai said

Nya then came up behind us. "Boys and Y/n, we need you down below."

We then followed her down below.

"Without your Mechs, you'll never be able to survive the extreme conditions on your own. I also installed headsets into your hoods for easy communication. Try it out." Nya said

"Ahem. Tell me, Zane, how tall is this mountain?" Jay asked

"The precise elevation of the Wailin' Alps be well over three leagues and 28 fathoms." Zane answered

"Zane's so much cooler." Jay said

"Hey Nya why is it their are only four Mechs?" I asked

"Oh, we sort of ran out of time making them, so I guess you'll have to ride on D/n. I got you some warm clothes that should help you." Nya said

"Oh alright then. But can't D/n just fly to the top?" I asked

"That be a bad idea. With the precise elevation and the wind speed. You'll get blown off thy mountain." Zane explained

"I see." I said

"Remember, once you get to the peak, you'll only have one shot to shoot the Blind Man's Eye. Don't miss." Ronin said

"I don't know guys, you had time to practice. Maybe I should sit this one out." Cole said

"Don't even think about it. You maybe be a ghost, but you're still part of the team." Kai said

"And if it weren't for you getting the first clue, we wouldn't even be here." Jay said

"Exactly, just because you're a ghost doesn't mean we're gonna treat you any different. Remember the talk we had. If you wanna talk about it. We can talk when this is all over." I said

"So what are you gonna do, Cole? Are you in or out?" Nya asked

Cole then thought about it. "Open the hanger doors."

"Opening hanger doors!" Ronin said

The hanger doors started to open.

"Woo-hoo! Ha-ha! Is anyone getting a tingly feeling?" Jay asked

"Yeah, frostbite." Kai said

"Drop 'em!" Ronin ordered

Nya then hit a button the released the Mechs D/n dove down after the mechs

"Ninja, snow!" We exclaimed

Everyone then landed but Cole fell into the snow.

"Cole, are you okay?" Kai asked

Jay and Kai then used their mechs to help Cole up.

"Gotta work on that landing. Hey, you sure you want me along? I can hardly control my new body, let alone this piece of metal." Cole said

"Hey, we all have our bad days. We'll pick you up so next time you can return the favor." Jay said

"Jay be right. The only way we're gettin' up ye mountain is if we be a hardy crew." Zane said

"This isn't about who's a Ninja, a nindroid, or even a ghost. Above all else, we're brothers and sisters. And as iron sharpens iron, sibling sharpens sibling." Kai said

"Exactly, as long as we have each other we're together we'll make it." I said

"All right brothers and sister, let's do this." Cole said

We then began to climb up the mountain

***

"Not so bad when you get the hang of it." Cole said

"So this Sword of Sanctuary... you really think you can see all of your opponents attacks? If we had that kinda power, not even Morro could stop us." Jay said

"But if Morro got his hands on it, nothing would stop him, which is why we cannot fail. Which is why we just have to keep climbing." Kai said

"Hey Zane! Just out of curiosity how much further is it to the top?" I asked

"That'll be a long way. At least 100,000 steps up." Zane said

I groaned after hearing that.

"A hundred thousand? Good thing I'm not counting." Kai said

"268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273. Oh look a little goat." Jay said

The Walloper bleats.

"That's not a goat. Don't you remember we rode on one of those." Kai said

"It's got horns. It's a goat." Jay said

"Even giraffes have horns. And that's not a goat. It's a Yak." Kai said

"A Yak? No way. Maybe it's a cow." Jay said

"I'm about to have a cow." Kai said

"It's definitely not a Yak or a cow. I've seen Yaks and it's not one. " I said

D/n than spotted some tracks and walked over to them.

"Arr! Look! D/n found Tracks!" Zane said

"Good job, bud." I congratulated him

"Maybe another Yak." Kai Suggested

"Or a cow." Jay said

"I doubt it. There to big." I said

Zane then had his mech lean down as he scanned the tracks.

"Pixal has analyzed ye tracks. We not be the first ones to climb this pass today." Zane said

"You think it was Morro?" Kai asked

"No doubt, I mean why would anyone else climb up here." I said

"Yeah, who else is crazy enough to be at this altitude?" Jay questioned "If he's ahead of us, were bound to cross paths."

Just then the wind started wailing.

"What's that sound?" Cole asked

"Wind gust! Anchor down!" Zane said

Everyone threw their mechs blades and hands to the ground.

"This feels like when I went to Glacier island." I said

D/n started to struggle and held on the best he can.

"Hold on, everyone!" Kai yelled

Just then the mechs started to get blown down the way we came.

We soon came to a stop with a good grip but then Cole started to fall back.

"I can't hold on!" Cole yelled

Zane then used his hook to keep Cole from falling.

The wind gust then slowed down.

"That was close. I owe you one." Cole said

We all began to climb the mountain more.

"Come on, there's still a lot of mountain to go." Kai said

Little did we know the Morro watched us nearly fall off the mountain.

"When you said Glacier island? What did you mean." Jay asked

"I'be had to go there twice and trust me when I say. You need to prepare yourself." I said

"Why prepare yourself?" Cole asked

"Glacier island is home of the Snow Wraith. The first we went there we had to get a Snow Wraith tooth. The second time we went there we had to save the Snow Wraiths from Dragon hunters." I explained

"But why would you need a Snow Wraith tooth?" Jay asked

"Because from what we knew before we met Viggo. We needed a Snow Wraith tooth to unlock the Dragon Eye. I told you guys about." I explained

Just then the sound of high pitched screaming could be heard and a rumbling sound.

"Now what's that sound?!" Jay asked

"Oh no!" I said

"Another gust?" Cole questioned

We could then see the snow coming at us.

"Worse. Avalanche!" Kai yelled

We then started to run down the mountain.

I tried to get D/n to fly above it but when he did he fell back to the ground.

"Oh no." I said

I looked back to see D/n's tail frozen.

"Here it comes! Hold on!" Kai yelled

We all started screaming as we got picked up by the avalanche. D/n was sliding in his stomach.

"I can't control my mech!" Cole yelled

"Me either!" Jay yelled

"The avalanche is too strong." Kai said

Jay's mech then crashed into a rock and sent him flying onto a piece of his mech.

"Jay, take my hand!" Cole said

Jay then tried to grab his hand but his hand phased straight through instead.

"Concentrate, Cole!" Jay yelled

Kai then jumped out of his mech and grabbed a tree branch but it soon snaps leaving him falling and landing on a piece of Jay's mech.

"Hang on boy. Hang in there." I reassured him.

I slowly made my way to D/n's tail and started to pull on it into get it in stuck.

"Blimey, I'm trapped." Zane said

"I can't get it unstuck! We're gonna go off the side of the mountain!" I yelled

Just then a giant snow ball thing grabbed Zane's mech and D/n before we were thrown off the side of the mountain.

"Whoa, Cole, is that you?" Jay asked

"Just picking you up to return the favor." Cole said

He then pulled the mech back to the ground and put D/n down. We all climbed off Zane's mech.

"You possessed the snow" Kai said

Cole then stopped possessing the snow.

"Yeah, I guess i did." Cole said

"Ha, ha, ha! First we get Cyclondo, then we get a ghost on our side!" Jay exclaimed

"Cole that was some quick thinking there bud." I said

"Tis good to see you smile." Zane said

"All right, so we're down four mechs, but we're up in spirit. Still, how are we gonna play catch up? We lost a lot of ground?" Kai said

"How about we see what else I can do?" Cole said

      ***

We were all on Zane's mech with Cole possessing it as we ran up the mountain. D/n was holding himself up on the shoulder of the mech.

"Woo-hoo!" Jay exclaims

"It's like your possession has given his mech boosters." Kai said

Cole then appeared on the screen.

"Boo-sters? That some sort of ghost joke?" Cole asked

Kai laughed "Good to see your sense of humor hasn't changed!"

The Mech then started to scale the mountain.

"Whoa, Cole, you've transformed it into a Spider Mech." Kai said

"You know, this ghost thing isn't that bad after all." Cole said

"I wonder if any other dragons beside the Skrill and the Singetails were brought here." I wondered aloud.

"Just how many dragons are we talking back in your realm?" Cole asked

"Higher than my knowledge of them." I said

Kai then saw the Hanging Temple above us.

"The Hanging Temple. We're not far." Kai said

"Oh great, now we're even closer to the Snow Wraith." Jay said sarcastically

"Finally we're almost there." I said

"Incoming!" Jay yelled

Kai then gets hit by the ghost arrow.

"Kai!" We all yelled

"No! No, no, no." Jay panicked

Kai then got up unaffected.

"The armor really works. I didn't turn into a ghost." Kai said

Just then Ghoultar grabbed the mech with two hooks pulling us up. He then threw then mech to the side.

"Morro's getting away!" Cole said

"He won't get far. You guys take care of his friends." I said

"Alright, be careful though he's tough." Cole said

"And you're not!" The female ghost said

I then used my Aeroblade and threw it at the female ghost but she dodged it and I caught it and ran after Morro before they could answer.

I then heard her scream behind me. I then turned back to hear sounds of fighting.

I ran across a hanging bridge. I than summoned a sword that was glowing white and threw it at Morro.

Morro dodged it the last second.

"Phantom Master. We meet again." Morro said getting into a fighting position.

"Why you calling me Phantom master? Sure it's my element but it isn't necessary." I said

I than summoned another sword.

"So its true. My master was right." Morro said

"What's true? What are you talking about?" I asked

I than threw the sword at him. But he dodged it  and used his element to push me back.

Morro than laughed "If your friends can't beat me. What thinks you can?"

He then sent another gust of wind at me.

'This is getting annoying, the is fight could last forever. I've been absorbing the souls of his ghost friends. Maybe that boosts my power.'

"Enough. I'm growing tired of this." I said white power was radiating beneath my feet.

"If I have to use this power to defeat you than I will." I said

My eyes turned fully white and we're glowing.

I than ran at him feeling stronger than before from this power boost.

"I'm sorry Lloyd, we will save you. I will make sure of it." I said

"Whatever you just did won't be enough." Morro said

We fought for a good 30 minutes before the wind started to pick up again.

"Stop! It's me that controls the wind." Morro said

He starts grunting as keeps trying.

"Stop!" He yelled

The wind than stopped.

"That's better." Morro said

I then sent another sword at him but he dodged it and sent a huge gust of wind at me. He than used this as an advantage and started to climb the icicles.

I then saw the others coming up behind me.

"You slowed him down a bit right?" Kai asked

"Yeah... We should be able to catch him if we hurry." I said

"Hey, you alright?" Cole asked

"I'm fine. Why?" I asked

"It's because of yar eyes Y/n. They be glowing white." Zane said

"My eyes?" I questioned

They then turned back to normal.

"What but they were just." Kai said

"Let's just focus on the problem at hand right now." I said

D/n than roared behind me.

"You think you can make it back to the Bounty and wait for me there?" I asked him

D/n roared in agreement.

"Alright I'll catch up with you later." I said

We then started to scale mountain.

"Ah! There he is! We're still in this race!" Jay said

We then jumped up higher and climbed.

Morro then kicked an icicle but we broke it with our Aeroblades.

"We can do this. We're almost there!" Kai said

Jay then started to slip and fall but Cole caught him.

"Concentrate. We got this." Cole said

Jay then saw his Aeroblade in the ice and retrieved it.

"Hey! I knew it'd come back to me!" He said

"No! We're gonna miss it!" I said

"Oh no, all this way for nothing." Jay said

The wind then started to pick up.

"We'll never make it in time!" Zane said

"We will if we do one thing." Kai said

"Cyclondo!" Jay said

"But I've never practiced it. What if I don't make it. What if I just blow off the mountain?" Cole panicked

"Don't worry. We'll catch you." Kai said

"Just trust us." Jay said

Kai then jumped off and did Airjitsu and made it to the top.

Then Jay, Zane, and I jumped off and did Airjitsu to the top.

"Now it's your turn!" Jay said

"I made it! I Cyclondo'ed." Jay said

"Yar! What about Cole?" Zane asked

"You can do it, Cole. We'll catch you. Remember sibling sharpens sibling." Kai encouraged

"Cole, come on you have to try." I said

"The only thing sharp here is this icicle that I'm holding on to." Cole said

"Come on, Cole! You're the strong one. Even Jay can do it." Kai said

"Oh, thank you very much, Fireboy." Jay said sarcastically.

"Cole, just jump." Kai said

"What if I can't grab hold of your hand? I'll fall and die!" Cole said

"No, you won't. You're a ghost and ghosts can't die." Kai said

"Come on, you got this." I said

"Ghosts can't die. Ghosts can't die. I'll do it." Cole said

Cole then jumped and
