The Ninja are traveling in a desert on animals. Jay, Cole and Zane are singing. "92,898 bottles of tea on the wall, 92,898 bottles of tea. You take one down and pass it around, 92,8."-
"Enough!" Kai yelled, cuting them off as he looked over his shoulder at them. "I'm really thirsty so we don't need to keep singing about tea."
"Ho, ho! Someone should have a chill pill." Cole replied.
"Ugh, we've been following the sun for hours. We should've arrived at Stiix already."
"But Stiix is on the eastern coast." Zane reveals. "We should be riding away from the sun."
The Ninja all stop and turn to him. "Why are you just telling us now!?" Jay cried.
"Because, Kai wanted to lead."
"Great! We're officially lost!" Cole cried. "You know, we had a leg up, but nooo. Kai wanted to lead!"
"I swear, my gut says we should be following the sun." Kai told them.
"Kai, you're arguing with a Nindroid!" Jay yelled. "He's a walking computer!" He turns to look at Cole. "Why is it when Lloyd's gone, we look to Kai?" He asked. "We should really be following Zane."
"He is the most logical choice."
The three move their Walloper to the left. "Well, I still think it's that way!" Kai argued. "And when I learn Airjitzu first, we'll see who's right!" His Walloper turns to follow it's friends. "Aargh. Hey, no! This way! Ugh!" His animal won't listen. "Ugh, fine. We'll follow Zane."
Zane's eyes zoom forward, finding train tracks and he moves his Walloper moves faster.
"He's already found something." Cole notices. "Let's go!" They quickly come up to train tracks. "Train tracks."
"They lead straight to Stiix." Zane added.
Jay laughs. "Hey, you hear that, Kai?" He asks, looking towards a salking red Ninja. "They lead to Stiix. We follow Zane and look what happens."
"But Sensei said the path we seek is never a straight line." Kai argued as the Wallopars start to follow the tracks.
"He also said rely on each other to guide." Zane added.
"Yeah, Kai! Pfft." Jay huffs. He, Cole and Zane start singing again. "92,897 bottles of tea on the wall, 92,897 bottles of tea, you take one down."

Back at Steep Wisdom, The Destiny's Bounty lands behind the shop. Wu, Chantal, Eleanor, Nya, and Misako walk into the shop. "Whoa! What a mess." Eleanor said as they all take in the mess that happened when Morro attacked.
"Let's get to cleaning." Chantal said as she moves to a closet and pulls out a few brooms, before handing on the Eleanor.
"Who needs to go on an epic quest when my services are best needed here?" Nya said dejectedly, she looked around before she picks up a jar.
Misako turns to Wu. "You need to tell her."
"She's not ready."
"And you waited this long to tell them about Morro, and how did that go?" Misako replied, she turns her attention to Nya. "Nya, dear, we didn't exactly hold you back to care for the shop."
That grabbed all three girl's attention.
"Really?" The sister of the fire Ninja asked. "Then why?"
Wu sighs. "Um, there's something I haven't told you about your parents."
Nya sighed. "Ah, you can save it." She turns to put a box on a shelf. "Kai already told me that Chen dangled that carrot too. We looked into it and we know our father used to be a Master of Fire. Not exactly mind-shattering." She turns to pick up a jar.
"But did you know your mother was the Master of Water?" Misako asks, causing Nya to pause.
Chantal and Eleanor look at each other, then back at Wu and Misako. "Sensei, what are you trying to tell her?" Chantal asked as Nya was too stunned to speak.
Wu walks over to Nya. "As Kai took on the traits of your father to become a Fire Ninja." He places a hand on Nya's shoulder. "For the sake of saving Ninjago and my nephew. You must train to become the Master of Water."
Still stunned, Nya takes a step backwards, dropping the jar she was still holding, before fainting.
"Nya!" Chantal and Eleanor rush up to the girl on the floor.
"Huh." Misako cocks her head to the side. "You're right. She wasn't ready."

That night, the Ninja are still following the train tracks as they finish their song.
"That was enjoyable." Zane said. "Let's do it again."
"No!" The others yell, before laughing.
"Uh, I wish Lloyd was here for that." Jay sighed.
"So do I. But we'll find the tomb. And then, we'll save him." Kai replied.
"I wonder why the tomb's so important." Cole wondered.
Jay shrugged. "I don't know. Sensei says it holds unspeakable power."
"It's the tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master." Kai states. "Whatever secret it holds, it must be protected."
They come up to a shack that's a train station. "Let's take a break here." Zane said.
Evil laughter is soon heard.
"Uh, did you hear that?" Cole asked nervously as he looks around.
"Yeah, I did, but." Jay answered and pauses as he also looks around. "We're in the middle of nowhere!"
The Ninja jump off their Wallopers as they hear the same evil laughter. "I don't know, but be on guard." Kai said.
A flash of green light is seen and a ghost with a chain appears riding a motorcycle. "What is that?!" Jay cries as they pull on their hoods.
Zane throws a shuriken at the ghost, but it goes through as the ghost charges.
"Watch out!" Cole yells and they jump out of the way.
"My shurikens. They went right through him!" Zane said.
"Because he's a Ghost!" Jay cried as they pull out their swords.
The ghost turns the bike around and starts to circle. "Morro must have summoned some friends." Kai replied. "We're sitting sucks out in the open. We need to take shelter! Watch out!" He yells as the bike comes onto the platform. The bike nearly misses them as they jump out of the way and the bike turns back around.
"Oh, God, he's coming for another pass!" Jay cried. The bike soon destroys the train station.
"There is no shelter!" Cole yells, just before the ghost hits his Walloper. "He turned my Walloper into a Ghost! No one turns my Walloper into a Ghost!"
Jay jumps off the platform and waves his arms to scare off the animals. "Ugh, get outta here. Hyah! Hyah!"
The four animals run off.
"Where did he go?" Kai asked as he gripped his sword. "I can't see him."
"Stay together." Zane said as they stood in a circle with their backs pressed against each other.
"If our weapons do nothing, how are we supposed to fight a ghost?!" Jay cried.
"Good question." Kai said. Another green flash is seen as the ghost came back. "There he is! Watch out!" They jump into the air to avoid the chain as it came near Kai and wraps around his left leg. "Huh? That's not good! Aah!" He's soon dragged off, the others run after him as Kai frees himself. "I'm ok." He said as he stood up.
"He's gonna pick us off one by one, isn't he?" Cole asked. "There's nothing we can do."
An eerie green starts to glow from under Kai. "He's underground!" He leaps out of the way just as the ghost emerges. "Aah!"
"Stand back!" Cole said as he moves forward and traps his chain on a nearby water tower. The ghost falls off his bike and lands on the tracks as the bike turns back to a normal motorcycle and lands sideways on the ground.
The Ninja walk up to the ghost before he gets up and the the Ninja prepare themselves. But as the ghost starts to come at them, a train suddenly appears and runs right through the ghost. "Haha. Now that's how you stop a ghost." Cole said as he and Jay high five. But when the train leaves, the ghost returns laughing.
"You think a train can stop a ghost? Your world will pay dearly when Morro finds the tomb. And when he does, he will take possession of the." He pulls the chain free, causing the top of the water tower to come down, opening up and splashing water all over himself. The ghost starts to shake before he glows and explodes.
"What, uh, what just happened?" Cole asked.
"He went ka-blooey." Zane said.
"Yeah, but he was just gonna tell us what was in the tomb?" Jay asked. "Couldn't it have waited another second?"
"We may not know what's in the tomb, but we do know one thing." Kai replied. "How to stop a ghost."
"Water?" The others asked in union.
"Unsual." Zane said. "I guess it's true. The path we seek is never a straight line."
"Uh, speaking of straight lines, if that train's heading to Stiix, wouldn't it be faster if we." Jay trails off as they soon chase after the train.
"Hey! Wait for us! Slow down! Slow down!" The Ninja yelled as they chase the train.
