Greetings, readers, and welcome to my newwwww story! This story is based on a theory I saw on Youtube. I can't give you a link because a. fanfiction won't let me and b. I don't remember where it was. Oh well. So, unlike my previous stories, this probably won't have any OCs in it. And if there are, they will be minor characters.

Well, let the reading commence!

Chapter 1

Morro tied a knot in the bundle of cloth and attatched it to his staff, a serious expression on his young face.

"Please, Morro, don't do this." his mentor, Sensei Wu, said from behind him. "It is impossible."

"Then maybe when I find it you will believe me." Morro turned around to face the man stubbornly as he hefted the staff onto his shoulder. "I am the green ninja."

"Destiny says you are not." Wu shook his head. "And you cannot find my father's tomb."

"I can. And nothing you can say will stop me." Brushing past the older man, Morro left the room into the hall outside, not surprised to hear his Sensei following him.

"My father left no clue." Wu continued. "I have searched and searched. But there is nothing."

"I don't need a clue." Morro exited the monastery into the cortyard. He felt a pang of regret as he walked towards the gate, his footsteps echoing off the walls around the yard. This was the only place he could call home. And he was leaving it. Not permanently, he reminded himself. Only until he found the tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master, and proven himself worthy of the green gi. As he pushed the gate open, he heard Wu speaking softly behind him.

"I will leave the gate open, should you decide to return." Morro paused, staring at the stairs in front of him.

"Not until I find the tomb." he said firmly, and started on his way down the mountain.

Despair

Lord Garmadon stood in front of his master, Chen, his mind racing. Why had Chen called him here? Was he in trouble? Or was he being rewarded? Chen simply sat on his throne, smiling calmly. It made Garmadon uncomfortable. Was he supposed to say something?

"You sent for me?" the dark-haired man spoke up at last.

"Yes." Chen replied in his high-pitched, scratchy voice. It was annoying. "I have a... mission, for you." he said with a superior smile. That was also annoying.

"And?" Garmadon asked as the silence lengthened.

"I recently aquired a book of dark spells. Do you remember that?" Chen asked, his face growing serious. At Garmadon's nod, he continued. "So I was looking through it the other day and found a spell that could prove very useful to me. I'm sure you've noticed that Clouse has been learning dark arts." Garmadon nodded again as he glanced at his fellow student, who was standing in the doorway on the far side of the room. "The spell requires a few important things, though. Specifically, all the elemental powers." Garmadon blinked. All the elemental powers?

"To obtain all those could take years." he pointed out.

"I know that." Chen rolled his eyes. "Which is why we need to get started now. So far I only have one."

"Skylor's." Garmadon said, referring to Chen's daughter. Sadly, Chen's wife had passed away not long ago.

"Right. There are a total of 22 elemental powers that I know of. This," Chen held up a blue staff with a gold disk on it. There was a dull white crystal mounted behind the disk. "is the Staff of Elements. It has the power to take the elemental powers from an elemental master. This is what you will be using on your mission."

"You wish for me to collect the elemental powers?" Garmadon took a step forward, taking the staff that was held out to him. "How does it work?"

"Simple. When you come near an elemental master, mentally command the staff to take their element. It's like an extension of your mind." Chen shrugged. "Pack some food or something and go. Right now." Garmadon nodded obediently and left the room, passing Clouse on his way out.

"Jealous?" the dark lord asked the dark arts student, who snorted and looked away. Apparently so. With a smug smile, Garmadon walked away down the hall towards his room to prepare for the journey.

This story takes place around the time Morro left Sensei Wu to find the tomb of the First Spinjitzu master, if you haven't guessed.

Reviews would be appreciated. ^ ^
