The Phantom group waited anxiously inside their hotel room waiting for Borg to take them to the Ninja. After visiting the museum that day, the group knew what the ninja looked like, and what they were capable of.
A small knock at the door interrupted the group from their thoughts, and Sam opened it to reveal Cyrus with what looked to be an android standing next to him.
"Good evening. I assume you've enjoyed you're first day in Ninjago City. This here is my daughter, Pixal." Cyrus gestured to the android next to him, who smiled and waved at them. "She will be taking you to the ninja. I wish I could stay longer, but I have other matters to attend to. Best of luck." Cyrus wheeled himself away, leaving the group with Pixal.
"It's Pixal, right?" Danny asked, wanting to make sure.
"Hey, aren't you that Samurai X dude we saw at the museum?"
"That is correct." Pixal said with an unsurprisingly robotic voice.
"I'm Danny, this is Sam, Tucker, Valery and Mor... Morgan." Danny pointed to and introduced, not forgetting their ghostly friend, who Pixal was staring at suspiciously, but said nothing.
"It's very nice to meet you all. If you could all please follow me up to the roof to get to our transportation." The group made their way up to the roof, and were surprised to see a floating ship.
"Welcome aboard The Destiny's Bounty."
"Woah! Is that an actual flying ship! No way!"
"Morgan wasn't it?" Pixal said, walking up to the master of wind whilst the rest of the group were busy admiring the Bounty. "Forgive me, but you look very familiar. Perhaps we have met before?"
Morro just gave a sheepish smile and scratched the back of his neck. "I guess I just have one of those faces." Morro knew the nindriod knew who he was. Thankfully, she said nothing more as they all boarded the ship.
"So, Pixal..." Tucker said, walking over to her. "You're an Android."
"Nindroid."
"What?"
"I am a Nindroid. An android that has been trained to be a Ninja, or in my case, a Samurai." The group looked at the view of the city from the ship as it drew closer to the monastery.
"Dude... They have a base on top of a mountain." Tucker whispered to his friend.
"I know. It's so cool." As they docked the Bounty, the group were met with an old man with a long white beard, wearing a straw hat and a kimono.
"Welcome to my Monastery. I am Master Wu. Please do follow me." The group ended up following Wu to the courtyard, where Danny and the others saw the ninja training and sparring. Wu tapped his staff, grabbing the attention of his students.
"Ninja! We have company." Wu said, gesturing over to Danny and his friends, who just waved in reply. The ninja dressed in green walked over to them.
"I'm guessing you're the group of ghost hunters Cyrus Borg told us about." He held his hand out to shake." I'm Lloyd, and this is Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane and Nya. And I'm guessing you've already met Pixal."
Danny took Lloyd's hand and shook it. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Danny, and these are my friends Tucker, Sam, Valery and..."
"And me." The ninja all jumped back when Morro appeared in front of them, each with there weapons drawn.
"Morro?"
"What is he doing here?" Nya yelled, forming a ball of water in her hand. Danny and Sam rushed to stand between their friend and the ninja.
"Wait! I know you guys have some history with Morro, but he's our friend!"
"And he has also helped saved our butts quite a few times." The ninja didn't move, not trusting Morro one bit.
"Everyone stand down!" Wu yelled, causing his students to stare at him.
"But Master, it's Morro!" Jay yelled. "Remember how he possessed Lloyd and unleashed the preeminent on us? BECAUSE I DO!"
"Yes, and I also remember him giving me the realm crystal and him helping us on the Day of Departed. If these people trust Morro, and he is truly here to help, then I say we trust him. And do you all remember what I have taught you? The best way to defeat your enemy..."
"Is to make them your friend." The ninja repeated after him. Morro moved from behind Danny and Sam and knelt in front of the ninja, like he did with Wu earlier that day.
"I know you probably won't forgive or believe me, but I greatly regret my actions against you and I am extremely sorry." The ninja just stared at the ghost, not knowing how to react.
"I say we trust him for now." Lloyd said as the Ninja then turned to stare at him. "Master Wu is right, and if the threat is as big as we think it is then we're gonna need all the help we can get." Lloyd held his hand out for Morro, who took it gratefully and stood up, muttering a small thank you.
"Now, we should probably head inside and discuss what is going on."
The tension was high as the group moved inside to the monastery.
"So Danny, you are like Amity Parks own superhero?" Cole asked, trying to break the tension.
"Well, I wouldn't say I'm a superhero..." Danny said, being somewhat modest.
"Danny, you have superpowers, can transform, shoot lasers, fly and you go around saving the day. You are most definitely a superhero." Tucker said.
"Wait, you can do all that? Can we see?" Jay asked, starting to get excited. Danny took a deep breath before mumbling 'going ghost' and transforming, floating about a foot off the ground
"Woah, that's so cool! How did you get your powers?" Danny briefly explained how he got zapped in his parents portal
"So, what do you lot do?" Nya asked the others.
"We don't have any powers, but we help Danny fight and trap the ghosts." Sam said as she got out the Fenton Furnace. Within the next few minutes, the tension died down and everyone was discussing powers and abilities.
"As much as I would love to carry on talking about our powers, I do believe we have a problem at hand to discuss." Zane said, interrupting the discussion.
"Right. Danny, how much do you know about the situation?" Lloyd asked.
"Well, I know that a very powerful ghost named Pariah Dark is possessing some guy named Gamadan, and he's building an army of robots with a snake guy to take over the ghost zone once again."
"It's Garmadon and he's working with Pythor, two very dangerous villains that we have fought against a couple of times." Zane corrected them. "Those two, plus an entire army of nindroids would equal an unstoppable force."
"Don't forget the prison breakout that happened yesterday. If they also have SOG, Captain Soto's and the Mechanic's crew on their side, they're going to be a much bigger threat." Kai added on. "Lets just hope they don't decide to recruit anymore people for their army."
Pythor wiped his brow, cringing at the amount of sweat and dust that came off onto his hand. He didn't really want to be searching through this cursed pyramid, narrowly avoiding traps but Lord Garma- King Pariah thought their army wasn't big enough.
"Hurry up with solving that puzzle! I want to get out of here as soon as possible!" Pythor yelled out, causing the nindroids to speed up. Within seconds, the puzzle was complete, and the chamber door was burst open, revealing Asphera.
"Free at last!" Asphera yelled as she slivered out, clutching her staff. "Now where is Wu?"
"I forgot you were always one for dramatic entrances." Pythor said as he brushed himself down, catching the attention of the other serpentine.
"Pythor? What are you doing here?"
"Freeing you, obviously."
"Yes, but knowing you, you want something in return. What do you want?"
"It's not me that wants something." Pythor slithered to the side as King Pariah walked towards them.
"Who are you?" Aspera pointed her spear at Pariah, getting defensive.
"I am King Pariah Dark, and from what Pyton has told me, you and I are very alike."
"How are we alike?" Aspera said, still not trusting Pythor or this stranger.
"We are both rightful rulers that had our kingdoms stolen away from us, and then locked away for centuries for being too strong of a ruler. Tell me Asphera, how would you like to get revenge on that treacherous deceiver and reclaim your throne?"
"I'm listening." Asphera slowly put her spear down and the smirk on Pariah's face grew. "So what do you want from me?"
"Help me regain my throne and take over the ghost world, and I shall assist you in reclaiming yours and getting your revenge. Does that sound like a good deal?" Pariah said as he held out a hand. Asphera thought for a few moments, before taking his hand and shaking it.
"Deal. I'm assuming you already have an army, but a few more soldiers wouldn't hurt." Asphera started chanting a spell, and the place started filling with lava.
"I suggest we head outside. It's going to get hot in here."
"Come on Libber. You can do it." Libbers hand was shaking as it hovered on the door. She had already gotten through the gate, as Cliff hadn't changed the password at all since she left. Know she was stuck, frozen at the front door trying to work up the courage to knock.
Libber took a deep breathe, and knocked on the door three times. She waited for a few minutes, and couldn't help but feel deflated when she heard no sounds within the house.
"This was a stupid idea." Libber said as she turned away from the door, and started walking back down the drive way.
"Libber?" At the call of her name, she looked up to see Cliff frozen in place with a bag of groceries in his hand.
"C-Cliff?" Cliff dropped his bag and slowly walked over to Libber, putting his hand up to her cheek and stroking it. "It's really you."
Libber then held his hand in hers, tears streaming down both their eyes. "It's me. I'm home."
