BlacknBlue102: Poor Morro indeed! I'm glad you like my writing style so much, and it's only going to get more interesting from here, trust me!


"Well first of all, what kind of evil stuff have you been up to?" Kai asked bluntly with a frown.

"Nothing. I've been doing nothing."

Jay crossed his arms, tapping his foot against the ground impatiently. "How can we know if he's lying or not?" He asked suspiciously.

Nya held up her arms, water forming in the palm of her hand. "Trust me, if he's smart, he won't lie," she said as she glanced at Jay with a smile. He smiled nervously back, not wanting to embarrass himself in front of his girlfriend.

Morro raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything about the obvious feelings the two ninja had for each other. Everyone already knew they wanted to be together. In fact, they seemed like they were. How could he know? He hadn't seen them in forever, and hadn't been keeping up to date with their heroic deeds that everyone loved.

"Perhaps Kai should not say anything. He is very, ah, impulsive." Zane pointed out. Nindroids were always right, everyone knew that. Even Morro did!

"Yeah, Kai should just go sit in the corner," Cole agreed. "We can't risk anything."

"Hey! I'm still here, ya know!" Kai shouted, scowling at the Earth Ninja. What he wouldn't give to punch his dear brother right about now.

"Sorry Kai. I think Zane might be right," Lloyd said with an apologetic look. He felt bad, but he knew he should listen to Zane, the smartest out of all of them.

Kai scoffed and stormed back to the deck of the Bounty. Oh, well.

Morro watched him leave with a look of disdain and then turned to face his captors. "What do you want?" He asked, straight to the point.

Lloyd pursed his lips and then asked his question. "Do you know if the Cursed Realm is really gone? Like, is it really destroyed?"

Morro thought for a moment. "Yes. But, the Cursed Souls most likely went to the Departed Realm, which means your father would be there too, if that's what you're asking," he answered flatly.

Hope flashed in Lloyd's eyes. He could see his Father again, maybe even save him. This might've been the best day of his life. Maybe he could use the Allied Armor to summon him! Wait, no, Nya blew it up. So that plan wouldn't work. He could use the Realm Crystal to get there.

"Do you know what the Departed Realm's like?" This time, Zane asked the question. Kai had sneaked his way back down and looked at him.

"He's never been there," Kai protested. Morro sighed.

"Actually, I have." Kai gave the ghost an unbelieving look.

"But you never died."

"Exactly." Kai looked like he wanted to clobber Morro.

"Okay, that's enough" The Green Ninja said and started heading back to the deck of the Bounty, motioning for the other Ninja to follow him. Once they were all up, he told the others what he was thinking. "I think we could use the Realm Crystal to get to the Departed Realm. If there's a chance I can rescue my dad, I want to, no, need to take it."

"Lloyd, if we open a door to the Departed Realm, bad things will most certainly happen." Zane pointed out with a troubled expression.

"Zane-" Kai began, but was cut off by Jay.

"No, Zane's right! Bad things always happen to us and Ninjago! There's no reason for this to be any different!" Jay exclaimed, putting his hands on his hips.

"I'm sorry, but I have to agree with him Green Machine. This sounds to risky." Cole said with a shake of his head.

Lloyd looked around at his teammates with an expression of defeat and disbelief. He couldn't believe this! They were all against it!

"I'll go by myself if I have to, then!" Lloyd said angrily. He kicked one foot at the wooden ground. He couldn't help it!

Kai then stepped out from the others, closer to Lloyd. He put a hand on his brother's shoulder and looked him in the eye. "I know what you're going through. I've been there. If there's a chance we can get your father back, I'm with you all the way." Nya stepped forward as well.

"Me too," she said. "Plus, I'm the only one that can kill ghosts," she added helpfully with a smile.

Lloyd returned the smiled. He could understand why his other friends didn't want to go, but he was glad that he had friends who did. He noticed that Kai had his thinking look on. "What's wrong?" He asked the Fire Ninja.

"It's just that... how will we know where to go?" Kai asked with a worried look on his supposedly-handsome face. Lloyd looked down.

"Well..." He began. "There might be one person who could have an idea about it..."

Kai's eyes widened as he realized who Lloyd was talking about. The other Ninja, not including Nya, kind of just awkwardly left. "We are not bringing him!" Kai shouted.

Nya bit her lip, thinking about their situation. She did not like it at all.

"But he's the only one who's seen it and he could be our guide!" Lloyd said. He closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "Look, I don't like this anymore than you do. But we have to do it. For my father," Lloyd said with a very serious tone.

Kai clenched his fists and rolled his eyes, dropping the argument. "Fine, we'll bring Morro. When do we leave?"

Lloyd smiled. He could always count on his fellow ninja.
