Here's the next chapter. I probably am going to post every other day than every day because, high school life demands too much. Hope you enjoy.

Awesome chapter! You made my day! Update soon!
I am glad that you enjoy it. Thanks for reading my story!
"Okay, let's never do that again." Kai said starting out the hole of the downed bounty.
"To think if Sensei hadn't gotten rid of the staff, worse things could have happened." Jay said, running down the hall.
"Ya, but know we don't know the message." Cole said.
"Not exactly." Sensei Wu said, "I manage to make an imprint."
They walked over to a wall, staring a smudged, messy imprint of the engravings of the staff.
"But what does it all mean?" Jay asked, after staring at it quizzically for a second.
"My father told me long ago that he would leave a message. Leading me to his final resting place. After he passed, I looked everywhere for it, not know that it was in my hand the whole time." Sensei Wu stroked him beard staring at the symbols unable to decipher them too.
"The tomb of the first Spinjisu master." Sensei Wu continued, jumping off the bounty.
"Well, if Morro is trying to find the tomb. We've gotta find it first." Kai said.
"Hey, Misako can help us decipher the clues since she's totally history buff." Cole suggested.
"I wish Zane where here," Lloyd sighed, "He probably would be able to tell us what the clues meant."
"Only question is how." Jay added. "Without Zane's falcon, we have no fast way of contacting her."
"I'll go and get her. I will walk to the nearest village and take the fast transportation there." Sensei Wu volunteered. "You guys set up camp while I am gone."
Soon the ninja had camp set up, having pulled three large logs aside a pile of wood for a fire, which was directly under the mast of the bounty.
Lloyd and Kai sat on the logs, take a break as they had just finished the assembly. Cole and Jay had gone inside the bounty for something.
"So, Lloyd, how are you feeling?" Kai asked, scooting closer to him on the log.
"I'm okay, just a little shaken." Lloyd replied, looking down at his hands.
"You know its weird," Lloyd started, and Kai nodded his head, encouraging him, "All those times when we were sparing with Zane, all those times when we fought together, who would actually know that one day we would actually be fighting against each other."
"We're not really fighting Zane." Kai said, "well, okay, we are but, not really Zane, but Morro. Think of it as fighting for Zane, more than fighting against Zane." Kai said.
"You don't know how bad I feel." Lloyd said, turning his head away. "I was right there in the museum, I could have done something. I was just unprepared, I….I" He paused, wiping a tear from his eye.
"I caused him to be like this." Lloyd whispered.
"No, no." Kai said, turning Lloyd's head so he faced him. "That's what Morro wants you to think, that this is all your fault. It's really not. You didn't make Morro possess him that was Morro's decision alone. None of this is your fault."
Kai enveloped Lloyd in a hug, and they stay there for a moment, both of them enjoying each other's company.
"Thanks," Lloyd said when they finally pulled apart. "It made me feel a lot better talking about it."
"Guys!" Jay yelled, coming running down from the bounty. "Woah," He said, stopping as he looked at Lloyd and Kai's faces. "Am I interrupting something?"
"No," Kai said, beckoning for Jay to come closer. "Wanna show us what you have behind your back?"
"Look!" Jay said, holding the falcon proudly out for Lloyd and Kai to see. "I found it after the bounty crashed! I spent this whole time looking for it!"
Cole walked up from where Jay had just run from. "I found it." He corrected.
"Same difference." Jay said, fiddling around with the falcon.
"There!" He said, when a loud click was heard.
The falcon shuttered and then started to move. It let out a large screech, and jerked into the air. It flew around for a few moments up there, the ninja's gazes followed by it. Then it swooped back down and landed on Jay's shoulder.
It preened a long titanium fear before turning it's head back around. Its eyes glowed blue and a hologram appeared on the ground. The ninja scooted closer to see what the falcon was trying to show them.
A picture of time lay before them, and it was of Morro, from a bird's eye view. The hologram then started to play, and the camera view turned to face the bounty flying away.
"Nooo!" Morro screamed down below, hands raised.
The falcon perched on somewhere nearby, as the circling stopped.
"Argh," Morro screamed throwing his hands down. "How am I going to go after them!?" He yelled to nobody in general.
After a few minutes of pacing, Morro gave an exasperated sigh. "How am I supposed to think with you annoying me all the time!?"
He reached to the back of his/Zane's head and pulled out a purple hard drive.
The falcon lurched into motion, the view shaking a bit as he dove down to Morro. He squawked lashing out with sharp titanium talons.
"Ahh!" Morro yelled, throwing his hand up to through off his attacker.
Morro blew a gush of air, sending the falcon tumbling into the sky. The camera lurched and for a few seconds the ninja couldn't see anything except for a blur. Then the camera stopped as the falcon righted itself in the air.
"So are you another one of Zane's companions?" Morro asked the falcon.
He reached out and the falcon squawked as it's wings where pinned to it's side by Morro's wind. It dropped out of the sky and Morro caught it, inspecting it. While he was doing that, the ninja studied Zane's face up close, since the ordeal.
"Both annoying, useless toys." Morro muttered. Still holding the falcon tightly in one hand as he dropped P.I.X.A.L.'s hard drive on the floor.
He lifted his foot and placed it down so that they couldn't see the purple square any longer.
"N-no." They heard Zane's shaky voice stutter. "I-I w0Nt Let YoU huRt tHe p3ople I l0vE anY longer."
Morro's left eye flickered and turned light blue.
"Stupid droid. When will you give up?" Morro muttered.
"NeVer." Zane responded his was a little voice clearer now. "BecAuse, nInja never quIt."
The left eye flickered again, turning a sea green.
"Don't try to stop me," Morro sneered, "You can't stop a ghost's possession."
He tried to continued pushing his foot down but found it a lot harder. Morro frowned, he was wasting his precious time. He needed to catch the ninja and get the staff.
His eye turned completely back to the piney evergreen of his. He tried to break the hard drive again, but found that Zane was still blocking him somehow.
"Persistent, are we?" Morro muttered.
"Fine," he said, "I'll give it back to the ninja, it's not like they can do much with these pieces of junk. He bent down and scooped the hard drive off the ground, and repositioned it in his hand with the falcon in it.
"Let's see if this droid can get us off this ground." Morro said, probably looking up Zane's abilities online.
"Ah, so he can form an energy dragon can he?" Morro got in place, letting Zane's familiarity with the motions guide him through.
The energy dragon started to shape, first turning out like Zane's ice dragon, it built up shape and just when it was about to solidify, it glitched, growing longer and thinner. It solidified and standing there was Morro's dragon.
"Hmm, not bad," Morro said, opening his eyes. "And you seem to need a clear mind to preform it, that's a bonus, the ninja won't be able to form them with that energy block move I hit them with."
He reached behind the falcon, his hand out of sight, and then the hologram shut off.
