Y/n's Pov:

We were under water now as we were getting closer to the tomb.

"We're almost to the tomb of the First Spinjitsu Master." Zane said

"Yeah, can't believe we're almost there, after all we've been through." Cole said

"I can't believe I'm underwater." Kai said

"You? What about me? Just how thick is this glass?" Cole said knocking on the glass.

"Knocking on the glass isn't a good idea, you know." I said

Sensei Wu than appeared on the screen.

"We are heading to your location now. With Morro already ahead of you and able to foresee the traps protecting the tomb with the Sword of Sanctuary, it's going to be up to you five to find the Realm Crystal before he does." Sensei Wu said

"Heh. Cole's a ghost, Kai can't swim, we have no magical sword or elemental powers apart from Y/n's. Heh-heh-heh, what could go wrong?" Jay said

"You probably just jinxed us now." I said

That's when we passed by the Leviathan.

"I may not know the three tests you're about to face, but I discovered a riddle that makes reference to it that may help. A Spinjitsu Master can. A Spinjitsu Master can not. To move forward don't look ahead, to find his resting spot." Misako explained

"Heh. That's food for thought." Cole said

"Speaking of food, we're about to be some!" Jay exclaimed seeing the Levitation chasing us.

"Oh great, of course. Jay you totally jinxed us. Why would you say that?" I asked

"We have to faster. Much faster." Kai said

Cole than took control of Rex

The Leviathan's tentacle hit the glass causing it to crack.

"Why did the tomb have to be under water?" Kai asked

"Ugh! What kind of weapons is this thing equipped with?" Jay asked

"We don't need weapons. Aim for that rock!" Zane said

Cole then maneuvered the Airship through the rock and spun the airship before it's tentacles hit the airship and the Leviathan got stuck.

But do to that the others were thrown around a bit.

Everyone cheered as it got stuck.

"Thattaboy, Rex, thattaboy!" Jay exclaimed

A few minutes later we reached the destination.

I grabbed my axe on the way out and the others completely left their Aeroblades behind.

"If you wanna hide a tomb, this looks like a good place. We're here." Cole said

Jay then found a green piece of clothing.

"Aaargh! There goes any hope Morro couldn't find this place." Jay said

"Hey, stay positive. We're about to risk our lives going through y traps we know nothing about. All we have to rely on is each other. At least feel lucky we got this far." Kai said

"Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. What was I thinking? Hey! There goes any hope Morro couldn't find the tomb! We're not alone! Yay! Now we're gonna have to fight him again! Sure we got our tails handed to us last time, but you never know in the future, because ninja never quit!" Jay said sarcastically  "Better?"

"Eh. I'll take it." Kai said

"Whoa, guys look at this." I said pointing to a statue of the First Spinjitsu Master.

"The First Spinjitsu Master. Creator of all Ninjago. Whoa." Cole said

"Destination reached. Auto return initiated." The computer said

"Auto return? No, no, no. Bad! Rex! Bad!" Jay said

"Our Aeroblade weapons were in there." Zane said

"Not to mention our only way back." Kai said

"Not all of them. I got my Aeroblade and Staff with me." I said

"Hey, stay positive! Who needs a way back when we gotta go that way?" Jay said

"No sword, no powers apart from Y/n, no problem. We can do this, guys. As long as we got each other, right?" Kai said

"Brother sharpens brother and brother sharpens sister." Cole said

We all walked into a room with 16 doors. The door closed behind us as we walked in.

"This could be the first test." Cole said

"Ooh! Why did it have to be tests? Why can't the tomb just be protected by dragons? We're good with dragons. Especially Y/n." Jay said

"I wouldn't say I'm that good with dragons you got me mixed up with my best friend Hiccup." I said

"I think we're supposed to pick a door, but which one?" Kai said ignoring me

"Um, what was it Misako said?" Jay asked

"A Spinjitsu Master can. A Spinjitsu Master can not. To move forward don't look ahead, To find his resting spot." Zane said

"A Spinjitsu Master can. Can what?" Kai questioned

"Sixteen doors. For sixteen realms?" Jay said

"Well, could be. But let me guess pick the wrong door and we'll be in a realm of hurt." Cole said

"Oh, I wish we had the sword right about now." Jay said

"We can figure this out. A Spinjitsu Master can. Can." Kai said

"The symbol above this door, it's a tornado. This could be the one, right." Jay said

"You could be right." Kai said

"I don't know. It's risky." I said

"Jay, wait!" Zane said

Jay than stopped before he reached the handle.

"Step away from that door, Jay." Zane said

"What is it?" Jay asked

"We're inside a zoetrope." Zane said

"A zoe-what?" Kai asked

"A zoetrope. The engravings in rapid succession creates a moving images."  Zane explained

"Uh, I don't get it." Cole said

"A Spinjitsu Master can. Do Spinjitsu." Kai said finally figuring it out.

"Exactly!" Zane said

He then did Spinjitsu.

"He's creating some sort of shape." Zane said

He then stopped and pointed to the door we just came through.

"That one. That's the door out." Zane said

"I don't know, Zane. Isn't that the same door we came in. Are you sure?" Cole asked unsure about it.

"Are you sure you want to doubt a nindroid?" Zane asked

"Open the door. Let's find out." Kai said

Jay than opened the door to reveal a new room.

"But...That wasn't here before. How can it be the way, if that's the way we came in?" Cole questioned

"Well, welcome to the Tomb of the First Spinjitsu Master." Kai said

"Hey, hey! Nice one, Zane. Who needs a Sword of Sanctuary when you've got a nindroid?" Jay said

"The Staff of the First Spinjitsu Master." Kai said

Cole than ran in front of him.

"Wait! This is the second test, remember?" Cole said "Zane, what do you think?"

"Pixal can see no pattern. For this riddle, I am at a loss." Zane said

"Think about it. The first test was, A Spinjitsu Maater can. So this one's, A Spinjitsu Master can not. Though saying it out loud I don't like the sound of that." Jay said

"Hey, you might be on to something." I said

"Hmm." Kai said

He then stepped on a tile that activated a trap and it shot spikes at everyone. Which we luckily dodged.

"Is everyone okay?" Cole asked

"I've been better." I said

"Oh! That was a close one." Zane said

"Every step, uh, a trap." Jay said

"How does one reach the staff if it becomes more difficult with every step to get there?" Zane questioned "If I'm correct, this riddle room poses quite the conundrum."

"So if a Spinjitsu Master can't do it, how are we supposed to reach the staff?" Cole asked

"Watch and learn." Kai said

He then did Airjitsu across and landed on a platform which caused more spikes to be thrown and trigger other traps.

"No. Wait!" Cole yelled

"Not that one!" Jay yelled

"Just stop!" Zane yelled

"Stay still!" I yelled

Jay than stepped back which caused him to trigger another trap.

"Oh, no!" He said

The tiles than started dropping. All of us were backing up not wanting to fall. That's when a boulder rolled from behind us. Jay, and Zane jumped over while Cole and I moved to the side.

Another boulder swing directly though Cole and I. Luckily I used my ghost ability.

"Wait. I'm a ghost. What am I worried about?" Cole questioned

The rock than slammed into the wall causing water to spray out causing Cole to jump out of the way and to the other side. I followed after him.

"That! That I can worry about!" Cole said

Kai than stared at the staff.

"I can make it." He said

He then started running towards it but while doing so activated more traps.

"Kai!" Zane yelled

"No!" Cole yelled

He then got right next to the staff before having to jump back because he almost got hit by the spikes.

"Will everyone please stop moving?" Jay yelled

"I can make it. It's just a hop, skip, and a jump." Kai said

He then tried to Airjitsu but failed and that made for tiles fall.

"But what else comes with a hop, skip and a jump?" Cole asked "You trigger one more trap, I don't know how much more we can take."

"The clue clearly said this is a test a Spinjitsu Master can not do. So why are we not listening to the clue!" Jay said

"Trust me, I can make it." Kai said

"What if it's a trick? What if the reason we can't do it is because we were never meant to reach the staff?" Cole suggested "What's the first rule of being a Ninja?"

"A ninja never quits." Zane said

"What are you trying to say? We just quit? Are you insane?" Kai asked

Cole than stopped and looked below. Luna then did the same.

"This time, trust me." Cole said

He then jumped down.

"COLE!!"

"Woo-hoo! Ha, ha come on down, and enjoy the ride!" Cole yelled

"He's alive!" Zane said

Zane than jumped down while I just let myself fall and Kai jumped as well.

We were all sliding in different directions.

"Seriously? Try to stay together." Kai said

We were than being thrown all over the place and thrown down different slides.

"Stay together I'm just trying to stay in one piece! Aah!" Jay yelled

We're all thrown around and eventually we're all near each other again.

We then grabbed onto an icicle but our grips were no good as we fell back down and onto another ice slide and under icicles.

I grabbed some icicles and used them as skis and so did the others.

"Woo-hoo! I love skiing!" Jay exclaimed

We were than thrown through a snow wall and into a ice maze.

"Is everyone okay?" Zane asked

"What did we get ourselves into?" Kai asked

Jay than climbed the snow bank.

"Heh, it's a maze! I'm great at mazes!" Jay said

Kai than looked at his reflection and saw himself look older and wearing different attire.

"Whoa. If my reflection means anything, I'm starting to think we won't be breaking out of this maze any time at all." He said

Zane than saw his reflection.

"My reflection. Is that...me? I look older, but our attire is different. I don't believe these reflections reveal our inability to escape, but a mere glimpse of our future selves." Zane said

"Misako said to move forward, don't look ahead. Is that what it means?" Cole said

I then looked at my reflection and saw myself looking older and wearing a different attire. This time I was wearing my Viking clothes. I was standing next to D/n and his family. Then another person walked in. They were wearing a black and green outfit. They were standing next to the other dragon who seemed to be the mother of D/n's kids.

'Aw D/n has a family, but who is that?'

"I don't recognize the person in my reflection." I said

"Wait a minute! Why is it I can't see my reflection? Where is my reflection?" Cole questioned

"It's probably because you're a ghost." Kai said

"Ghost's cast reflections, Kai. He's probably just looking in the wrong place." Zane said

"I am looking at the same place you are." Cole said

"Hey, guys, guess what, I get an awesome eye-patch!" Jay exclaimed

I then walked over to him.

"And there's something else." Jay said

He then gasped as he saw himself with Nya.

"What, Jay? What is so great that you see that I clearly cannot." Cole asked

"I end up with Nya." Jay whispered

"At least I'm not the only one who has someone else in there reflection." I whispered to Jay.

"We can talk about this later." Jay whispered back.

"Nothing! Just an eye-patch!" Jay sai

Cole than looked at the mirror.

"Wait a minute, I think I see me." Cole said

He than heard a smash against the glass.

"It's Morro. He's in the maze too!" He said

Morro than broke through the ice.

"All you Ninja do is talk. Blah, blah, blah. I'll stop you from talking!" Morro said

He then swung his blade at him and started chasing him through the maze.

"He's attacking an unarmed man!" Jay yelled

"We're coming for you!" Kai yelled

"Hang on Jay!" I yelled

I used my power to bust through a wall in the maze. Trying to make it fall on Morro. But due to the sword Morro saw this coming and jumped out of the way.

Zane than jumped onto of Morro stopping him from attacking Jay.

Jay than grabbed an icicle and clashed it with Morro's blade.

"Zane and Y/n are here, but Cole where are you?" Jay asked

"I don't really know. But I'm coming!" Cole yelled

He then ran through a wall knocking Morro over.

"Huh. Why didn't I do that sooner?" Cole questioned

Morro than got back up again and tried to hit Cole but I clashed my axe against the sword.

"Why don't we fight, I'd love a rematch." I said

I got into a battle stance and took my axe out and when he looked into the blade I kicked him into the wall.

"You look to see your opponents next move but your reaction time won't be able to keep up." I said

"You're smarter than you look. I'll give you that." Morro said

He then slashed my stomach.

"Argh! That one stings." I said

"Nothing personal." Morro said

He than kicked me at the wall with the wind causing me to bust through it.

Cole then went to fight Morro.

"Y/n! You alright?" Zane asked

I pushed off the ice that was on top of me and took some pain killers I kept in pocket. Thanks to Nya slipping them to me.

"I'm fine Zane." I said

Jay than through an icicle from behind and Morro dodged it.

"Ha! Hyah!" Jay said

Him and Morro slid in opposite directions before fighting each other.

Morro than broke his icicle and Zane then jumped in.

The painkillers started kicking in so I joined back into the fight.

I decided to fight harder so i summoned more power which allowed my eyes to glow white.

"Come at me Morro, I'm ready for you this time. I said

"Has she always been this strong?" Jay asked

"Perhaps it's the souls she's absorbed. She seems to grow stronger." Zane said

Me and him fought hard for 20 minutes before he knocked me back.

We all took turns fighting him but ended up getting knocked away.

Morro than used his wind to push us all away.

Kai then jumped into the fight.

"Come on! Catch me if you can!" Kai taunted

Morro than swung at an icicle and Kai jumped out of the way as more took its place trapping Morro.

"No!" Morro yelled "You can't trap me. I'll find you, Ninja. Just wait, you'll see!"

"Quick. How do we get out of here?" Jay asked

"To live forward don't look ahead." Cole said

"Don't look ahead. Look below." Jay said

"There's light! Everyone, dig!" Kai said

We all began digging at the ice too we fell through.

That's when we saw it.

"What? What is it?" Jay asked

"It's him. The First Spinjitsu Master." Kai said

We all bowed to his resting sight.

"The Realm Crystal." Zane said

Zane than went to grab but was unable to.

"Strange I can't seem to pick it up." Zane said

He than had Pixal scan it.

"Pixal says that only someone with dragon or Oni blood can grab it." Zane said

Everyone looked at me as I grabbed the Realm Crystal.

"How does it work?" Kai asked

"How it works is you'll hand over the crystal, or say goodbye to your friend." Morro said holding Lloyd really close to the edge.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't stop him." Lloyd said

"So what'll it be?" Morro asked

"If we hand him the crystal, he'll usher the reign of his master, cursing Ninjago and every realm." Zane said

"But if we don't, when has he never made good on a threat? Look at Lloyd, he's too weak to protect himself." Cole said

"Aargh! Either option totally stinks." Jay said

"What do you think, Kai? What do we do?" Jay asked

Kai than touched my bloody bandage on my stomach and grabbed the Realm Crystal from me.

"Sorry if that stung Y/n." Kai said

"It's fine. Don't... worry about it." I said using Jay's shoulder as a support.

"You alright?" Jay asked

"Fine, just....a bit....tired." I said

"Looks like the decision is up to you, Kai. So choose." Morro said

Kai then stoped for a moment to think.

"Stop stalling! Give me the Realm Crystal, or else!" Morro said

"We're not stalling, we're thinking!" Kai said

We all huddled together.

"He's totally right, I'm stalling. What are we gonna do?" Kai asked

Cole then groaned. "This guy really chaps my hide. I swear when this is all over..."

The floor below him started to glow and some rocks started to float.

"Our powers. Now that Morro's out of Lloyd's body, they're starting to come back." Kai said lighting his hand on fire.

Jay than got a little lightning in his hands before it faded away.

"Yeah, but like Lloyd, they're weak. And we're in position to fight back." Jay said

"Leave that to me, Be ready." Kai said

"I may be injured but I'm always ready." I said

"Times up. You leave me no choice." Morro said

"Wait! We'll give you the Realm Crystal!" Kai yelled using his fire to heat up the bottom.

He then threw it to Morro and he let go of Lloyd catching it but got burned by it dropping it into the stream below.

"The crystal what have you done?" Morro said

Lloyd then knocked the Sword of Sanctuary out of Morro's hand with the last of his strength and Morro used his wind to push him into the stream.

"Lloyd!" We all yelled

We were all running after Lloyd while Luna, Zane, and Jay were fighting Morro.

"I can get to him. I can't swim." Kai said

"You can't swim? I can't touch the water! I'm a ghost, remember?" You at least had a reflection! What happens to me?" Cole said

"Screw this injury." I said

I then jumped into the water and helped Lloyd stay above the water, but my energy was draining.

Morro than grabbed the sword just as Jay jumped at him.

Zane than used his ice to freeze the blade so Morro couldn't see there next attacks.

"Nice one, Zane." Jay said

Morro than swung the sword and knocked Zane away.

Jay and Zane then jumped in and tried to attack him.

"Argh! I can't keep this up, I'm loosing energy." I said

"Their gonna drown." Cole said

"This is crazy. What am I doing?" Kai said

He than dove into the water and helped me bring Lloyd back above water.

Morro than move to side as Jay shot lighting at him but ended up hitting Zane.

"Oh, no! Kai's got Lloyd and Y/n but who's got Kai?" Jay questioned

"Oh, come on." Cole said

"Cole! You have to grab them before it's to late and they both go over! Jay yelled

Kai than grabbed Cole's hand and helped Lloyd get up and just as I was about to I saw the Realm Crystal go over and the current took me with it and I fell off.

"Ahh!" I yelled as I was falling.

"Y/n!" Kai and Cole yelled

Just than I was lifted up by the wind and so was the Realm Crystal.

Morro than picked up the Realm Crystal and dragged me with him.

"Let go of me you jerk." I said as he put the sword to my stomach again taking more blood.

"Can't, I might need
