Whoo, chapter 26! I have written so many stories, up to chapter 31, that I decided that break my usual routine of posting a new chapter every other day because I wanted to post this one. This chapter is a little shorter than I like, but I wanted to leave it at a cliff hanger. I hope you guys enjoy!
"The Sanctuary is on the top floor," Fenwick instructed, opening a door.
He turned and walked away, as Morro and his two ghosts walked in. He didn't know that Nobu was spying on him a little down the path. Unlike most of the students of the master writer, Nobu didn't agree with his actions and thoughts.
Nobu was wondering what he could do when he heard whispering coming from down below.
"Ugh, fingers tired. Legs about to give." He heard someone say.
He peered down the side of the floating island and saw the Ninja scaling the side. He quickly changed his expression of shock to a normal face, not wanting to attract attention.
"Quit complaining, Kai. It's very unbecoming." Lloyd panted, trying to manage balancing Jay on his shoulder and climbing at the same time.
The Ninja made it to the top of the side and scaled the stone railing.
"You're alive!" Nobu whispered excitedly. "Well, most of you. What happened to Jay?"
"He not dead!" Kai whispered defensively. "We had a run in with your 'big foot'."
"Nimbus?" Nobu asked.
"Ya, Nimbus shocked him. And now he's out cold." Lloyd said.
"That's the danger of coming in contact with him," Nobu said, "He can easy knock you unconsciousness."
"Now where's Fenwick," Kai growled.
"Fenwick is convinced that there is no way to stop the Queen of the Cursed. So he's agreed to help Morro only to help himself. But he doesn't know you've escaped. You have to get the Sword of Sanctuary. Or else Morro will have too big of an advantage!" Nobu babbled.
"Wait, wait. Slow down. Tell us where it is." Cole said.
"The tallest tower, but you must hurry Morro and his ghosts are already in there!" Nobu said.
"Well, I guess there's no time to take the stairs, you thinking what I'm thinking?" Kai asked.
"Yep." Lloyd smiled, "By the way, Nobu, I hate to dump the babysitting onto you, but do you think you can watch Jay while we go up to get the Sword?"
"Sure, I don't mind," Nobu said, laying Jay down on the side of the railing.
"Ok, let's use Airjitsu!" Cole said, excited to use the new move.
Morro waved his two ghosts off, seeing no use to keep them around with the ninja gone. The two guards graciously opened the door for him, already receiving their instructions to let him in.
Morro walked into the room, the Sword of Sanctuary glinting mysteriously with the future on a rack. Morro walked to the Sword and looked at it. He could already see the future glinting off the side of the blade instead of his reflection.
"What!?" he hissed, seeing the ninja breaking into the room in the blade.
He whipped around, expecting them to break in at any moment. He chanced another look at the blade and saw which side of the room they were going to come in from. Taking the blade from his rack, he turned to the side, prepared to fight them.
A couple seconds later they burst in, drawing their weapons. He leaped at him, but he already knew their moves thanks to the blade and easily dodged them.
"Too late," Morro teased, waggling a finger, "I know your every move!"
"We'll see about that!" Kai said, charging at him.
Morro side stepped him and knocked him off his feet to the ground. He drew the sword ready to stab Kai in the back with it when he looked in the upheld blades reflection and saw Lloyd shooting lightning at him.
The dodged the move spinning around and kicking Lloyd through the wall of the room.
"No!" Kai yelled, scrambling to the hole in the wall and peering down.
"Cole, cover me!" he yelled leaping after Lloyd.
"And then there was one," Morro said, squaring up Cole.
"What a shame that you didn't join me." Morro mused, "One I kill you once and for all you will truly be gone. If you joined me at least you could have lived forever in the Cursed Realm. What a shame."
"Never, I would never want to live forever in rage and hatred. Plus, I will always live forever in the hearts of the people of Ninjago and my brothers."
"Speaking of your brother," Morro said, pretending to look around, "Where's Jay? I thought he wanted to save his titanium friend."
Cole leaped at Morro, Aeroblade bared.
"You guys never do learn." Morro shrugged, looking into the blade.
He grabbed Cole's arm and threw him over his shoulder, dumping him on his back. He put his foot on Cole's chest, ensuring he couldn't escape.
"Any last words?" Morro asked, trading the sword of sanctuary for his double bladed swords.
"What, couldn't kill me with the Sword of Sanctuary?" Cole coughed.
"Haha," Morro laughed, "That's too good for the likes of you. Plus, the Sword of Sanctuary can't kill ghosts."
"Bye," Morro said, raising his swords.
Cole didn't even look away; instead, he looked right behind him, at Jay, who was sneaking up behind him.
Jay pounced, knocking the Sword of Sanctuary from Morro and pinning him with his Aeroblade. He head locked the ghost with his Aeroblade to his throat.
"You hurt me, you hurt your friend." Morro laughed.
"Not quite," Jay mused, " If I'm correct, I only have to make a single scratch with this Aeroblade on Zane will send you back to the Cursed Realm. And don't try to talk me out of this because I have dreamed this moment over and over again."
Morro growled like a rabid dog, reinforcing Jay's theory that it would work.
Jay took a deep breath and aimed the Aeroblade precisely before swinging.
Jay heard the clink of metal on metal before his brain could even manage to process what had happened...The Aeroblade had rebounded off Zane's titanium skin.
