At Stiix, the Ninja stand on top of a roof. "Remember, I'm in charge." Jay reminded. "We're not stealing the Scroll, we're returning it to the library." He pauses. "After we learn Airjitzu."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Cole said as they moved along the roof.
"And we're Ninja." Jay continued. "Let's keep it quiet."
"Ninja go!" The team whisper as they jump off and land on another roof and moved along, then Jay drops through a roof. "Whoa!"
A woman's screams is heard as the other three turn to see the hole. "Get out of here, you blue weirdo!" She cries as Jay climbs back out.
"Let's try to be a little more quiet, shall we?" He asked as he now stood. "Last I remember, we're Ninja."

Inside Ronin's shop, Ronin is whistling as he's about to lock up for the night. When suddenly a ghost appeared with an arrow aimed at him, making Ronin jump startled. "Soul Archer." He said startled. "I thought I was gonna have more time. I'm a little short."
"I'll return for your debt later, but for now, I came for something else."
"If this is about our last."- Ronin begins, until Morro comes up behind him making him jump. "Lloyd, you're a little late. Your friends were just here. Or should I call you by another name?"
"The Ninja." Soul Archer said. "They were already here?"
"Where's the Scrolls of Airjitzu?" Morro demanded.
"The Scroll of Who-whatzu?" Ronin asked. "Hey, love the armor. A little dinged up, but I'll make you a fair offer." Morro grabs a hold of him and pins his arms behind his back. "Aah! I'll tell you what I told the Ninja, it's not here. But I can get it for five hundred?"
"You're supposed to pick the lock, not try to bite it off." Kai's voice is heard from outside the door.
"Ugh, if I had my powers, I'd zap it, after I zap you!"
"Help!" Ronin calls out, but Morro cover his mouth.
"Hide." Morro told Soul Archer. "Let them find it, then take it."
The Ninja break in through a window and jump in. "Great, now we're already on the hook for breaking and entering." Cole complained.
"I don't like sneaking around in the dark any more than you do, so let's just find the Scroll and get out of here." Kai also complained as they split up to look around.
"Hey, when you guys were leaders, you never heard me complain." Jay said. "And if you don't like sneaking around, why become a Ninja?" He comes up to a vase where the scroll is hidden and picks it up to look under it. "And leave no stone unturned."

"The faster we find the Scroll, the faster we can work on the next clue that will lead us to the tomb." Jay said as he passes a door as Soul Archer goes through it. "Then we can save Lloyd, and it will be all because of me." He pulls back a sheet to reveal a grand piano with organ pipes.
"Ah, I found it!" Cole yells happily.
Jay gasps as he turned to Cole, while Soul Archer goes into the piano. "You found the scroll?"
"No, but I found my father's trophy. I'm taking it back. He danced hard for this."
Suddenly the organ pipes move and grab ahold of Jay. "Aah! Holy pipes! The organ's got me!"
"Uh, it's possessed by a ghost!" Cole cried as he clutches his father's trophy. "I forgot what we're supposed to do."
"Water! Water!" Jay answered in a cry.
Kai sees a flowerpot nearby. "I got water!" He grabs it and throws it towards the organ. "Hey, these flowers are fake!"
"We're on a village built entirely over water!" Jay cried. "Please, take your time!"
Cole finds a water jug and chucks it at the organ. "Aha!" He throws it making Soul Archer come out.
"Sdneirf s'orroM fo eno rehtona!" Zane yelled, still talking backwards.
"I think he said 'another one of Morro's friends.'" Kai said.
Morro comes out from the back room. "And there's more where that came from!" He said, before summoning more ghosts from the armor which quickly surrounds them.
"We're gonna need more water!" Cole said.
During the confusion and chaos as items are being thrown at the ghosts. Ronin comes up to Kai. "Cut me free."
"Not until you give me the scroll." Kai said before they duck to avoid another ghost. "You're not the only one who can make a deal."
"Then at least take an Aeroblade and get rid of a few of these ghosts."
"You said they were hard to come by!"
"I'm a businessman, that was business. Whoa!" Ronin said before they dodge another ghost. "This is personal. Now cut me free."
Kai grabs an Aeroblade and it glows. "Not before we check out the merchandise." He destroys a ghost with it. "Huh? They worked! Try these!" He grabs three more, and tosses them to the others.
Zane throws his at a ghost, when the ghost disappears, the weapon returns to him.
Jay swung his at a ghost, who backs away and laughs. "Haha! Now who's scared of who?" He throws it and the ghost disappears.
Ronin uses Jay's Aeroblade to free himself, he starts fighting with Morro.
"Where is the Scroll?" Morro demanded again.
"You'll never find it!" Ronin refused, before Morro kicks him in the chest, sending him flying backwards and into a vase, smashing it and the Scroll of Aitjitzu rolls out and into the middle of the room.
"The Scroll!" The Ninja yelled.
"Only one of us shall possess it." Morro said before he runs for it.
"Yeah, me!" He whistles a tune and snatches the scroll before the building starts shaking in the process, then escapes on R.E.X. as the building collapes.
"Ah, I told you his ship wasn't far!" Jay exclaimed.
"Sorry to leave you hanging, but since this Scroll's so important, I can't just give it away." Ronin said as he stood in his vessel. Morro raises his hand, making wind fly out and grab a hold of R.E.X. and Ronin falls out.

Landing in an alley way. Ronin pushes himself up and tries to summon his ship, but couldn't so he runs away.
XxXxXxXx
"Ah, no! Morro's got the scroll. We can't let him get away!" Jay cried before they start to run along the rooftops.
"He won't outrun the four of us!" Cole said, just before Jay falls through the same roof from before and the same woman's scream.
"Not again!" She's heard.
"Scratch that, guess it's just the three of us." Cole corrects himself as they pursue Morro. Soon Morro comes to a set of power lines, he looks down before grabbing one of the lines and swings across to another roof. Cole and Kai each grab a line and swing, leaving Zane behind.
"Etanutrofnu s'taht."
"Looks like it's just the two of us now!" Cole said, before his line breaks and drops. "Whoa!" He lands on a few crates. "Go, Kai!" He wheezes out.
XxXxXxXxxXx
Kai runs after Morro as he jumps off the roofs and makes his way to the docks. "Ah, great. More water." Kai groaned as he follows Morro, who's leaping on the support columns and turns back to mock as he waves the scroll. Kai pursues him as Morro continues to jump along before he comes to the last columns.
"What's the matter? Can't swim?" Morro mocks again as the strangle weed grabs a hold of Kai. Morro unrolls the scroll and reads it, then jumps into air using Airjitzu before summoning the dragon. "Looks like the better Ninja won." He tells Kai, who's trapped and struggled to break free of the strangle weed and can only watch as Morro leaves.
Ronin comes flying down with R.E.X. "Looks like you could use a lift." He said as he drops down a ladder, Kai started to reach for it, but Ronin pulls it back. "Nuh-uh-uh. Nothing in life is free."
"You slimy, money-grubbing son of a bitch!" Kai yells as the strangle weed starts to entangle him. "I don't have money! I don't even have pockets!"
"Everyone's got something. Cause of you, my shop's destroyed."
"We didn't destroy it! You did!"
"Ok, your loss." He starts to leave.
"Wait! There is something."
R.E.X. comes back. "Ha! Like I said, everyone's got something."

Outside a bar. Jay, Cole and Zane were sitting at a picnic table. "Ugh, so after all this, Morro gets Airjitzu and we're left with zip? I hate being leader, but I hate losing even more." Jay said.
"Eerga I." Zane said.
An engine is heard and they see R.E.X. and Kai jumps out.
"We didn't lose everything." Cole said. "At least Kai's ok. Tomorrow, I'll command, and we'll figure something out."
"Thanks for the pick-me-up." Kai told Ronin.
"Remember what I said about second chances." Ronin said. "And I'm gonna hold you that deal. So long, and I hope you get your friend back." He soon leaves as Kai comes to his friends.
"Second chances?" Cole questioned. "What did he mean by that?"
"We may have lost out on the Scroll, but he thinks there may be another way to learn Airjitzu."
"We're still gonna fly?" Cole asked.
"Really?" Jay asked. "Another way?"
"Swen taerg si siht." Zane continued to talk backwards.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a sec!" Cole suddenly said. "Ronin makes deals in his favor, and you're a terrible negotiator."
"Kai!" Jay cried. "What did you give him?!"
Kai turned away from his friends as they glare at him. "I sort of gave him ... my shares of the tea farm ... along with all of yours."
"You what!?" Jay cried.
"Wu's gonna flip!" Cole added.
"Swen elbirroh s'taht!" Zane finished.
Kai turns back around to face them. "I did what I had to, and for Lloyd, I'd do it again."
"You're right." Cole agreed. "But I have to ask, if Morro has the only Scroll, just how are we gonna learn Airjitzu?"
"Let's just say, it's not gonna be easy. We have a ghost of a chance."
