I'm sorry that was cruel of Nya. Andd I have thought and thought about this. Nya will not be with Jay. I'll have her paired with a new OC that'll come later on.

The Ninja arrive at the docks of Stiix.

"Welcome to Stiix." The team turn to see a fisherman, sitting above an archway, greeted just as Jay trips. "Watch your step." His fishing pole starts to bend. "Oh, I caught one." He starts to pull. "It's a big fella." He strained as the Ninja watch him. "Ugh, whoa!" He's pulled into the ocean. Jay, Cole, and Zane look down in concern as he surfaces. "Dagnabbit."

The Ninja turn back to find a freaked out Kai. "I didn't know you were afraid of heights." Jay said.

"I'm fine with heights." Kai said as they make their way into the village. "It's water I hate."

"Didn't seem to have a problem before." Zane replied.

"Before, I could make a Fire Dragon at will. Since Morro's taken over Lloyd and our powers gone, I haven't felt, aagh!" Kai cried when a plank breaks from under him. Cole runs up and grabs his hand and pulls him up.

"Well, now that we know ghosts don't like water either, at least we should feel safe surrounded by it." Cole said as they head into the village.

Jay and Cole soon pinch their noses. "Ugh, what a dump." Jay said. "You'd think the thief who stole the Scroll of Airjitzu would have better taste."

"Uh, this is Ronin we're talking about." Cole replied. "He'd steal the sea if it were worth anything. We just have to figure out which rock he's under and get to the Scroll before Morro does."

"Let's split up and start looking." Zane said.

The Ninja come up to a pawn shop and start to look around. "Wait a minute!" Cole picking up a trophy. "This is my dad's Blade Cup trophy. What's it doing in a pawn shop?"

"Selling stolen goods?" Kai asked with his hands on his hips. "Ha, sounds like we might have stumbled on the right place."

Suddenly a middle aged man with long brown hair and a straw hat, a brown eye patch over his right eye along with a stubble comes out of the back whistling while carrying a vase.

Jay and Zane drop down behind him as he places the vase on the floor. "Ronin!" Jay exclaimed with his hands on his hips. "Going so soon?"

Ronin turns to see all the Ninja and backs away from them. "If this is about our last encounter, it was only business."

"You left us in the mouth of a."- Kai's cut off.

"So you're still upset." Ronin was able to get behind the counter. "Let me make it up to you." He presses a button. "Aha!" A vengestone net trap fails. "Uh, that was a mistake. I can explain that."

Cole ducks under the net. "Argh, nothing here is legit, including you."

"Yeah!" Jay moves the net to the side. "I bet your airship's not far either. What do you call it again? Rylo? Ruby?"

"R.E.X.!" Ronin corrects. "And could you have a little sympathy? Sold her so I could buy this place. As you can see, I'm trying to make an honest living."

"Honest enough to steal the Scroll Of Airjitzu?" Kai asked.

"The Scroll of Who-whatzu?"

"Airjitzu!" Jay exclaimed. "It can make a Spinjitzu Master fly!"

"Yeah. So hand it over or we can make you fly." Cole grabs an abacus and throws it, breaking it when it hit a wall.

"Whoa, cool down, fellas." Ronin said. "Even if I had such a thing, it sounds pretty old and important. Definitely not something I'd keep on site. And definitely too much for you to afford. Maybe I can interest you in some unique weapons? I've got Jadeblades, obsidian armor." He lists them off.

"Have anything that can vanquish ghosts?" Zane asks.

"Hmm, ghosts you say?"

"Yeah. They hate water." Cole said. "But we're not looking for water balloons. We need something reliable."

Ronin moves over to another pile of weapons and grabs a big shuriken. "Hmm, what you're looking for is an Aeroblade, forged by Deepstone, an aquatic material mined from the bottom of the ocean. Very unique. Even more expensive."

"Ugh, can't you see he's giving us the runaround?" Kai threw his arms out. "We want the scroll, Ronin. What do you want for it?"

"200."

"What!?" Jay cried. "200!? We don't have that kind of dough!"

"Come on, you guys once had the Golden Weapons. You honestly telling me you've never pinched anything?"

"No! We don't pinch. And we don't even have pockets." Kai argued.

"What if we were to tell you all of Ninjago depends on it?" Cole questioned.

"Well then, that changes everything." Ronin said. "400."

"Argh, you can't just double the price!" Jay yelled.

"My shop, my rules."

The Ninja huddle together. "Alright, so my gut says."-

"What do you think, Zane?"

"What, my opinion doesn't matter?"

"We don't listen to your gut anymore, Kai. Zane's the leader. You just get us lost."

"Well, I say we give him what he wants. I sense if we won't, Morro will."

"Alright, but let me negotiate." Kai said as the Ninja break from their huddle and turn to Ronin. "200."

"400."

"300."

"400."

"350."

"450."

"Deal!"

"Ugh." Jay facepalms.

XxXxXxXx

The Ninja walk out of the shop. "Nice negotiations, Kai!" Jay said sarcastically.

"I didn't see you do any better!" Kai huffed.

"Now to find out how to make some money." Zane replied.

At Steep Wisdom, Eleanor watched from a distance as Sensei Wu trained Nya, who is currently balancing on a rock in a nearby river stream as Wu is sitting on another rock between two waterfalls with a tea cup and a cup of tea.

Chantal walks over to stand next to her. "How's the training coming?"

"It's coming." Eleanor nods, her arms folded. "But Nya has a long way to go to master her Element."

Chantal turns to her. "How do you feel about all of this?" She asks, making Eleanor turn to her.

"What do you mean?"

"Like it sounds. You're not the only girl who has an Element now."

"Oh." Eleanor shrugs. "I'm fine with that." She sighed. "I just wish I could have gone with the boys on their mission."

Sensei Wu does Spinjitzu, then he summons an Elemental Dragon.

"Whoa!" Eleanor breaths.

"It makes sense." Chantal smiled as she folds her arms. "He is Sensei Wu after all. What can he not do?"

The two watch as Sensei picks up a bucket. "The bucket test!" He throws it at Nya, who jumps back to standing and catches the bucket and frowns.

"The bucket test?"

"Simple: fill it with water. When it is completely full, your training today is done."

The Ninja sit around after failing a job to get money to pay Ronin for the Airjitzu Scroll.

"Sorry Zane." Cole apologized. "You tried to lead, but I guess it just didn't work out."

Kai sighs. "No money, no scroll. And it couldn't have happened at a worse time."

"What the hell are you?" Jay asked. "A bunch of quitters? Sure, we can't understand Zane, but did we ever? And Kai's the last person I'd want to follow."

"Hey!"

"But now I'm in charge. We may not have the money to buy the Scroll, but I say we don't need it."

Cole cocks an eyebrow. "And why's that?"

"Cause we're gonna steal it!"

"Jay, we're Ninja, not thieves!" Cole objected.

"Yeah, but we're stealing from a thief." Jay folds his arms and turns away a little. "Haven't you ever heard, two wrongs make a right?"

"Uh, Jay, I don't think that's how it goes." Kai said.

"Thgir a ekam t'nod sgnorw owt" s'ti." Zane added, talking backwards.

"Shut it, Mush Mouth." Jay said. "I'm the leader and what I say goes. After Ronin locks up tonight, we steal the Scroll of Airjitzu."

Back at Steep Wisdom, Nya fills the bucket with water and brings it to Wu. "Ugh, there. Bucket's full. Not so hard."

Wu looks into the bucket to see a stopper plugged into the hole of the bucket. "The bucket is not full." He turns around. "Try again."

Nya groans. "This is impossible!"

"This is not impossible. This is thinking outside the bucket. Going with the flow. Finding where you are weak."

"I'm not weak! This bucket is weak!" Nya angerly kicks the bucks into the pond as Eleanor, Chantal and Misako walk over to Wu. "I've been trying to fill that damn bucket all day! It's never gonna happen! Face it, I'm not a Water Ninja, I'm a Samurai! This is pointless! I filled the bucket!" She rants and raves.

"It appears the day was a waste, Sensei." Chantal said.

"On the contrary, Chantal." Wu said turns to her. "I've finally discovered her weakness: feeling weak."

"I'm good at everything else!" Nya yells with anger. "Why the hell do I have to be good at filling buckets!? Go with the flow? I'll show you how I go!"

"She's pretty fired up Sensei." Eleanor comments.

Wu nods. "She's good at so many things, but when put in a position to fail, she gives up. And because of her temper, she didn't even realize she's successfully completed the task. Her bucket is full." They all look at the bucket in the stream to see a fish swim through the hole.
