I refused to speak of the conversation between Morro and I with my friends. I couldn't figure out if it were out of fear or disbelieve. Perhaps both? I forced myself to keep a straight face around them and to not let on that something was amiss with me. To my luck, the attention of the team was focused onto the main task at hand when Kai came back with knowledge from Ronin of a second scroll in the ancient temple of Sensei Yang, the creator of the martial art form of Airjitz. For the entirety of our time waiting for a tour guide, I avoided as much conversation with the others to give myself time to calm my nerves, which seemed to take an eternity to accomplish.

Once she had arrived, she got right to the action "Welcome to Yang's Haunted Temple," the tour guide started "the historical landmark and former home of Sensei Yang. Infamous for creating the lost Martial Art's form of Airjitzu," the others in the group seemed rather interested in that as they started talking about it with one another. "unfortunately, we can't bring our tour groups inside because rumors say anyone trapped inside its walls after sunrise will be turned into a ghost permanently."

I exchanged looks with the others just as Zane, in his now unnecessarily loud voice, admit "I hope it's not a rumor, for it's our only hope!" I really wish that Jay fixed him correctly, but he supposedly screwed up his volume settings which was already getting annoying, with him yelling in our ears a lot now.

"Sorry about my friend," Cole apologized to the others "he's a little hard of hearing," the tour guide seemed a little annoyed at us but continued to explain the past of the temple to the rest of the group as we stayed back to talk to each other.

"I thought you said you fixed him," Kai said to Jay.

"Hey, at least he's no longer talking backwards. I guess my tinkering got his Volume Levels stuck," he replied with a chuckle. I guess he was right, it was great that we could actually understand him now, but that didn't mean it wasn't annoying listening to his loud voice every time he talked.

Cole turned to Zane, saying "anyways, don't say anything unless you've got something really important to say," that was actually a good idea, he wouldn't be shouting too much but he could still talk, it's not like we were shutting him out completely, it was just when he didn't necessarily need to say anything.

"Who put you in charge?" Kai questioned as if he was oblivious as to Cole taking the shots now.

I sighed and facepalmed before looking over at him "Don't even get me started, Kai. After the three of your guy's plans failed, he took the liberty to step up and take charge, got a problem with that?" he put his hands up in defense but shot me a shaking of the head, letting me know he didn't.

"And like me, I like my plans simple," Cole chimed in "We sneak in, learn Airjitzu from the ghost of Sensei Yang, and get out before sunrise," now that I heard it, it wasn't that bad if a plan. Unlike Jay's reasonings as to sneaking in somewhere, we weren't stealing anything this time. That's how a real Ninja sneak around, not stealing anything while sneaking around.

"We know that Morro already knows it, so I just hope he hasn't deciphered any one of the other clues. that'd really suck and leave us behind by a lot," Camila added to the conversation. I nodded, agreeing with her statement. It would suck if that happened, it'd only leave him with a huge head start and more ground for us to cover in order to catch up then I would hope for. We heard the tour guide saying that we needed to get back on the bus, but instead we waited around so we could sneak in later.

For some reason we needed to wait for sundown, Cole preferred to go in then rather than going in right then and there. If I was in charge I would have he is go in right when the bus left, but I wasn't so we didn't. As he and Jay tried to pry some planks off of the window, the rest of us opened the door and entered through that way. When we were all in the temple, the door slammed shut behind us, making me jump a little. I just shrugged it off and followed the others down the long hall, and stopped at a door which Jay opened. It looked like a library of some sort, and I could tell it was old by the smell of dust and the numerous cobwebs around. I hoped there aren't any spiders in there or I'd be running out of that room faster than Camila could ever run.

I spoke too soon as I saw a spider on the floor, that was trying to crawl up my leg. I screamed rather loud and kicked it off my me, watching it crawl away when it fell to the floor. I took a couple of deep breaths and looked at the others who were all staring at me. "What? So what if I'm scared of bugs? They're creepy! Especially spiders, ones that are as big as the one that was on my foot are even worse! Come on, it was as big as my hand, if not bigger!"

"Whoa, relax," Kai insisted, but it was kind of hard knowing that there were huge spiders roaming the temple like we were. Boy, I didn't want to run into any more! "But anyways, if this place is truly haunted, we'll just need to wait until he shows himself," why was he even bringing that up? I wasn't even talking about that in the first place.

"He should have been here by now," Cole grabbed his shoulder to stop him "you heard the tour guide, if we're not out by sunrise we'll be turned into ghosts," Cole seemed really worried about that, but there was no way we couldn't make it out in time. Before Kai could finish telling him to calm down Cole added "Hey, I don't wanna be a ghost, who wants to be a ghost? And why didn't anyone warn us that this place would get so creepy after dark?!" now he seemed really scared about all of this, I felt bad that he was but there was nothing I could do about it, we just needed to survive the night and get the secrets to learning Airjitzu.

"Cole, if you're going to be in charge here, you're going to have to chill out, it isn't that bad," Cameron insisted but what interrupted by Zane.

He tried to read something but Jay took the book from his to read himself "Allow me," he looked down at the book and seemed interested at its content "Whoa, it says here that Sensei Yang's unusual strict teachings drove his pupils away, others admit to never seeing them leaving the temple grounds, suggesting a more sinister plot. How awesome is that?" I had to admit is sounded pretty cool, similar to something you'd see right out of a horror movie. Cole immediately downed the idea of it, disagreeing with Jay completely "Yang was hard on his pupils for a reason, for in his words: As Iron sharpens Iron, Sensei sharpens Student.

I froze when I heard some loud noise that sounds to be a ghost trying to scare us. I turned to see the old grandfather clock shaking, which appeared to be where the sound was coming from. Jay pushed Cole to it and told him to check it out since he was the leader. Cole was a little shaky as he approached it, but he came to open it, only to have the falcon fly out into his face. He let out a loud scream and backed away in fear. It landed on Zane's arm, who pressed a button that made it okay back the same sound we heard. He, Kai, and Jay laughed. "A prank! really?" he seemed really pissed.

"We were just trying to help you laugh," Kai told him.

"You should have heard yourself scream!" Jay joked with a laugh.

Zane played back Cole's scream, causing the them three to laugh once more. I shook my head in disappointment and slapped Kai and Jay in the back of theirs. "That doesn't make someone relax, and it wasn't funny," I thought it was stupid of them to do that, plus it was rude. We're in a serious situation here and it wasn't the time to be fooling around, they were better than that. Or, so I thought.

We heard a crash which causes us to gasp, but Cole just sighed "Another prank? Real funny, didn't anyone ever tell you to quit while you were ahead?" He walked out of the room and slammed the door behind him. I looked at the others with a glare, but by the looks on their faces I could tell that wasn't their doing.

"My god, you guys are fricken idiots!" I ran after Cole before the others did, who soon after followed behind. I turned the corner and saw him stopped at a door "Cole, wait, that's not us!" I tried but he wouldn't listen, he just shrugged it off. I was worried at the moment because it was definitely not one of us who was messing with the door, so the whole ghost thing had to be legit, and we didn't need that!

"Okay, I have to admit, this is pretty good. How did you guys get the handle to move all by itself? Is Nya behind there?" he turned to open the door. We ran after him to see that it open to reveal a dojo room, like what was back at the monetary when we still train there. We walked in and approached the shrine looking thing that had a picture of Sensei Yang above it.

"Whoa," Camila let out "this has to have been where he trained his students back when he was still alive."

"O-or got rid of them," Jay suggested in a shaky voice, fear evident in his voice.

"Knock it off guys, if that wasn't you behind the rattling door, who was it?" Cole asked is in disbelief. The rest of us claimed that it was the ghost of Sensei Yang in sync, as scared at the moment.

Out of no where, we heard someone start to say Sensei Yangs saying about Sensei's and Student, and we freaked out. "I'm getting my butt out of here!" Cameron screamed. Without hesitation I started running for the door just as the swords on the wall started to shake. They crashed into the door when we slammed it shut behind us. We ran down the hall, sadly chased by bats.

"Does this mean he doesn't want to teach us Airjitzu?" Jay wondered, to have Kai not care and suggest to get out through a window. It was boarded up like all the other windows, leaving us with no escape "We're caged like animals!" for real this time we heard the evil maniacal laughter of Sensei. Cole didn't think twice about suggesting the front door, which I never thought of.

"But it's down stairs," Kai reminded us. And if you haven't paid any attention, there are weapons that are trying to slice and dice us!"

"There's a dumb waiter!" Cameron interrupted and pointed to a dumb waiter behind Jay. We walked over to it to see that only four could fit it at a time.

"Great," Camila turned to us and volunteered "I'll take the second trip down."

"Same here," I added. I knew there was no way we'd all fit in the dumb waiter so we'd have to take two trips, and I didn't mind taking the second trip down. The others didn't have a problem with that do they climbed in and started to make their way down. I looked over at Camila and Cameron and nodded at them, waiting for the others to hurry up so we could go down ourselves. Before I knew it the room got dark to the point where I couldn't see a single thing. Camila let out a shriek "Hey, it's gonna be perfectly fine!" I reached out to where I remembered her standing and grabbed onto her arm do we didn't get separated. Cameron took her and as well.

We heard a crash and turned to the direction of it, was the the dumb waiter? "I think they fell!" Cameron insisted, I didn't need to think much about that, it was the only logical explanation. I touched the walls and felt for the opening to the dumb waiter, and grabbed onto the rope. We made our way down the rope and stopped when we made it on top of the dumb waiter. I kicked the wood on the top and broke it, giving us just enough room to crawl through. We looked down the hall, where there was plenty of light to see. We heard the guys screaming so we ran in its directions.

I saw one of the handles of a door shaking like crazy and even more yelling came from it. We banged against it a couple of times before I tried the handle, which took a couple of turned before it budges, and out came a heap full of water and the guys. Unaware of what was up with the water, I was being pulled down the hall by it before it eventually died down, leaving us standing in water what was up to our chests "Good to see you guys still in one piece," I claimed, at least they weren't hurt like I had suspected when I heard them screaming.

"Yeah. But first the haunting, then the water, what's next?" Cole questions, not sure what to make of things. None of it added up, I had to admit, I wasn't sure either.

"That's it," Jay commented "He is testing us, don't you see? Cole's afraid of ghosts and Kai's afraid of water!" He had a point that made a lot of sense, he was onto something. It seemed like was testing us based off of our fears, maybe we needed to face them in order to gain access to the secrets of Airjitzu?

"As iron sharpens iron, Sensei sharpens Student," Kai stated, rubbing his chin "he's making us face our fears!" We had a quick little prep talk and gladly agreed to face our fears together, all we could do was wait for the next fear to face so we could get out of there. We planned on sticking together for the rest of the night, and to help us with that we tied ourselves together using a rope that was convincingly lying around.

I was close to the back, in front of Cole but behind Camila. "Alright, no matter what happens no one can run away, we're in this together," Cole approved, and we were walking down the halls in search for the Scroll yet again.

"Just so we're not surprised, what are the rest of you afraid of?" Kai inquired.

"I think I know what I'm afraid of!" Zane revealed in a panic, looking behind us. I looked back too and saw Morro standing "Morro!" Cole and Jay started freaking out about it, and I got why, I wasn't fond of it either.

"Wait a minute, if we're all afraid of Morro, then this must be the next test! How are we supposed to save Lloyd if we're too afraid to face him?"

"We need to face him then!" I said as we started after Morro who ran away from the team. We turned to corner to not see him, but seconds later saw him again. "he's over there!" I pointed in his directions and we chased after him again. I crashed into Camila when the others stopped in front of a ladder.

"Let's go, he's in the attic!" She insisted as she pointed up to the attic. Jay got a little worried when he told us he was afraid of them, but we went up anyway as because we had to go after Morro. We climbed up and saw that he was just standing in the corner doing nothing. I raised an eyebrow but looked back at the others when they started arguing about who was going to approach him.

"I'll do it!" I insisted and walked in front of the others. I stopped behind him and yelled "We're not scared of you! You may be a ghost, and even my evil, crazy bastard of an uncle but that's nothing!" I guess what I was afraid of at the moment, facing him like the others did, but I had a different reason. I knew that it wasn't the most important thing going on, but I was off because of the fact he was my dead uncle. He was blood that was fighting for the dark side, it pained me to see that, even if he was dead. It wasn't the fact that he was the villain that I was scare of, it was that when ever I was around him I was fighting blood, no one was fond of that that. To make it worse, I couldn't talk to anyone about it because I didn't want to bring it up and make people think I didn't care more about Lloyd's safety then the boat I was in. He was the bigger picture here, so we were more worried about him than anything else, or that's at least how I felt it was supposed to be.

I myself was broken over the presence of Morro more than anything, especially after hearing what he had to say about my mother. I wasn't sure if I was to believe it or not. Was it the truth? It was it a lie? Either way, it flooded my mind more than the loss of Lloyd at the moment because it was a personal moment. And I couldn't feel more guilty about having that view on things.

I stopped and jumped back with the others when he disappeared when the ghost of Sensei Yang replaced him. "As iron sharpens iron, Sensei sharpens student. You have passed the test," he pulled out a Scroll which was obviously one for Airjituzu "only those who see things through gain the benefits of the reward," he passed it to Cole before letting what he claimed to be his students appear around him. "Now you will join my students. The new dawn is upon us, get out before the clocks last chime if you can!"

We didn't hesitate to run back down and out for the door, but we tripped and fell on our way down. I saw that it was close to sunrise as I saw the door "Hurry guys!" We ran faster and finally made it out the door. When we made it out it felt like being relaxed from a tight space, I could finally breath in some fresh air. I froze when I saw the rope behind me and no Cole. I picked it up and looked at the temple "Cole's not here!" I remained frozen at what I saw with the others gasping in shock, I was too scared to even react to it. "Y-you didn't come out in time, so..." I tried, still frozen in place.

"I'm a ghost..." He frowned, clearly devastated about what happened to him. The frown that formed on his face made my heart sink, why did that have to happen?

I untied my rope as my shock and fear turned into anger. I clenched my fist and ran up to the temple and screamed "Screw you!" I threw a gust of wind at the temple, pissed of more than I've ever been in my life "Skruva på dig! Turn him back, God damn it! We completed your stupid test, it's not fair!" I punched the wall with my fist this time instead of my wind, multiple times. I punched it five times before I stopped and took couple of deep breaths. I looked back at the others, seeing them all giving me looks but they were all still clearly saddened over this, but none of them were anywhere near as pissed as I was.

Camila slowly walked up to me, insisting "Hey, Cassie, calm down. Let's just get back to the bounty, okay?" I was still pissed but I was gonna try to lay it low for the others, I wasn't gonna be that one person who wouldn't cool their shit down.

"Yeah," I nodded in a low voice, and started walking with the others, getting ready to use our dragons. I took off my glove to see my knuckles red and bleeding, but I didn't care at the moment, it was the least of my worries. Cole looked down at my hand with a frown, but I ignored him and formed my dragon "Let's go," I said, just wanting to get the hell out of there. The whole ride back was quiet, no one seemed to want to talk about what happened. The time inside the Temple, me and my little scene back there, and most of all: Cole becoming a ghost.

When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.
