How are you guys doing? I can't help but count down the days till Winter Break. I still have two weeks to go through.
By the way, I write the story on a word document and then I copy and paste it in here. I'd like to say that I have 109 pages written in the word doc!

I'm only on the 3rd chapter but you got Morr's personality down! I could definitely see all of this happening!
I try to keep the characters as close as they are in the show. I really try not to make them do anything that seems out of character. Good to know that I am not doing a bad job :)
"So this master writer," Cole asked, as he was ushered onto an airboat by Fenwick, "He'll decide to give us the sword just by looking at us?"
"It is an important decision," Fenwick said, hoping into the boat and grabbing the rudder, "one that will not only decide the fate of Ninjago but the fate of the 16 realms."
"Do you know what's inside the tomb?" Kai asked.
"I do," Fenwick said, steering the boat to a wall of clouds. With a wave of his hand, the clouds parted, leaving a large vortex in clear view. "Morro is after the Realm Crystal," Fenwick said, the boat passing through the vortex. "It's the bridge to all 16 realms, the doorway to greater understanding, or a gateway to ruin."
Jay gasped as the scenery changed to one of lava, fire, and bridged islands of obsidian.
"When the first spinjitsu master created it, he knew that it could never fall into the wrong hands. So, when he died he hid it, protected in his tomb, guarded with many dangerous traps that only a spinjitsu master could get through."
"But then why does Morro want to get the realm crystal?" Lloyd asked, "I thought he wanted to be the green ninja and get revenge on me for taking the title."
"It is not Morro who sees the power to ruin," Fenwick said, "But his master, the Preeminent."
Fenwick passed into another portal and traveled into what could easily be identified as the Cursed Realm. Ghosts flew all around, passing through the boat like they weren't even there.
"The Cursed Realm." Kai said, "He's in charge?"
"Not he," Fenwick said, "But she. Queen of the Cursed, an evil so vengeful and so big that she cannot cross over by any other magical means."
The scenery changed into green, agriculture ponds with some water crop growing in them.
"But if Morro uses the Crystal to free her," Fenwick continued, "After cursing Ninjago, she will not stop till every last realm falls under her reign."
The scenery changed back to the Cloud Kingdom as they passed through some clouds.
"Did we cross-" Jay started.
"-through realms? No, we merely saw a vision of them. Only the realm crystal can take you to other realms." Fenwick replied.
He pulled the boat up to a small palace, located on floating island.
"We're here. Now if you just wait in here," Fenwick said, pulling open one of the doors, "I will be back with the master writer in a moment."
The Ninja walked into the room, which had no lights on. Fenwick let the door fall closed with a loud bang. From the inside, they could hear keys jingling and the door being locked. Lloyd looked at the others and shrugged. The room was littered with giant toys that looked like they belonged in a giant child's toy box.
"Hmm," Cole said, "Strange place to meet this master writer. I thought they said that they didn't have any distractions."
"Looks to me like they just shoved them all in here," Kai said, staring up at a giant teddy bear.
A low rumbling growl started up, and the ninja looked around trying to find the source of the sound.
"By the way," they heard Fenwick's voice float in from outside, "I know we aren't supposed to take sides, but I'm on team Morro."
The growling got louder as a large bipedal creature came in from another room.
"Oh my gosh," Kai said as the beast towered over him.
"I know!" Jay laughed, "It totally looks like Big Foot!"
A young writer was scribbling down words when words started to appear by themselves, writing their own destiny. Instead of his black writing, the text was in red. He gasped, recognizing it as one of the few cases where destiny writes itself. The scroll was still writing when, he ran over to Fenwick, yelling, "Master Writer, Master Writer!"
"Yes, Nobu?" The master writer said, hearing one of his young students coming up behind him.
"The ninja are in trouble!" Nobu yelped.
Fenwick didn't even turn to look at them, "I know." He said, smiling evilly.
"Don't be shy," Fenwick said, gesturing to Morro, Soul Archer, and Bansha, "These are our guests, and I have made a mutual arrangement."
The young writer walked back slowly, mouth open wide in shock.
"This is Nobu," Fenwick said, gesturing to his student, "He is one of the most promising of my students."
Nobu still stood there, mouth open, staring at Morro.
"Don't worry Nobu, our destinies are secured. The Ninja's…well, I am afraid that they are not." Fenwick said calmly as if everything was right in the world.
"Wh-Where did you send the ninja?" The young writer asked.
"I locked them away with Nimbus. Run along now, I and Morro have important business," Fenwick said plainly.
"Now show me to the sword of sanctuary." Morro smiled.
Nimbus growl advancing on the ninja, who were walking backward, not wanting to turn their backs on the beast.
"This is the master writer? Lloyd asked, accidentally tripping over a toy on the ground, "This is the one who controls our destiny?"
"Whatever he is," Kai answered, "I don't think that he is handing over the sword."
Kai grabbed Lloyd and dragged him back away from the beast before helping him to his feet.
Lloyd shot lighting and Nimbus, who just absorbed it like it was made of nothing. Nimbus roared, swinging a lanky arm and knocking Lloyd down.
Jay jumped around waving his arms, attracting the attention of Nimbus away from Kai and Lloyd.
Jay ran over to the door trying to open it. "It's locked! Why are the doors always locked!"
Nimbus closed in on Jay, and while Jay was up close, he could see through the matted fur that there was some glowing blue…something. Nimbus reached and picked Jay up, Jay screaming bloody murder as he felt giga-watts of electricity travel through his body. Nimbus tossed Jay, wanting to cover its ears from the ear-splitting sound.
Jay tumbled over to where Kai and Lloyd were hiding, smoke coming slightly off him.
"H-Hey e-eveRyo-one, i-it's oKAY!" Jay stuttered, "I-It's lIKe huGging a gia-ant c-cloud."
"Oh no, Jay." Lloyd said, dragging him behind a giant toy elephant, "Come on, stay with me."
"S-s-sorry," Jay hiccupped, blackness having already closed in on him. "I think I-I'm goin-g to ta-ake a n-nap."
"Okay, okay," Lloyd said, watching Jay's unfocused eyes slip close.
Nimbus roared, looking around for the ninja, who had all seeming disappeared.
"Over here big guy!" Kai called, jumping out from a giant stuffed pig.
Nimbus tackled the pig, missing Kai. Nimbus roared frustration, about to throw the pig out of the way, before having second thoughts. It snuggled the pig affectionately and set it gingerly back down before turning back around.
"Oh, so you like your toys, huh?" Kai pondered, grabbing a small stuffed bear. "Stay big fella," Kai said, waving it around, "Or I'll break it."
Nimbus stared at him making hand gestures for Kai to give it to him.
"Come on guys, search for a way out!" Kai called, not sure for how long he could stall.
Lloyd stared at Jay and then ran to help the others find a way out. They knocked over piles of toys, searching for an exit.
"What am I doing!" Cole said, "I'm a ghost!"
He stuck a hand through the wall and then walked through it. He appeared on the other side and ran to the doors. "Augh, I'm such a dummy."
"You can undo the lock right?" Lloyd said, his eye appearing at the other side of the keyhole.
"I'm a ghost!" Cole said. "I'm not a locksmith, I need a key."
"Be the key, Cole. Be the key!" Lloyd said.
"Your right!" Cole said, possessing the door.
"I'm going to get Jay, you get the door open!" Lloyd said.
Lloyd ran over and dragged the still unconscious Jay out from the stuffed elephant. He hoisted him over his shoulder and ran towards the door, which was swinging open. Kai followed close behind him and slid out, slamming the door closed behind him.
Cole morphed out of the door and smiled.
"You know Cole, those ghost powers are pretty handy," Kai said.
Lloyd laid Jay down and checked his plush. "He's okay." Lloyd announced, "Unconscious but okay."
"You know, I could just possess Jay and that way you won't have to carry him around." Cole joked.
"Okay, okay, not funny," Cole said, after being meet with stone cold faces.
"Look!" Kai shouted, "There's Morro! And he's with Fenwick!"
"Augh, traitorous Fenwick," Cole said.
"Want me to carry him?" Kai asked Lloyd.
"Nah, I'm good. Let's go," Lloyd said, lifting Jay over his shoulder again.
After the Ninja had run off, the door to Nimbus's house opened, as Nimbus peered out of the doors, looking around.
