If Eleanor had gone with the boys. Her fear is claustrophobic, like how Kai hyporventilats when the study after the water from the painting is filling the room. Eleanor would be doing the same thing inside the dumbwaiter, and she has an extreme fear of dogs. And I have another OC coming!
XxXxXxXx
Inside the Temple Of Airjitzu, the Ninja open a door and walk into a room that looked like it could be the study, as the door closed behind them it scared Cole and he turns around to find a spider, causing him to shriek.
"Relax." Kai said, swatting the spider away. "If this place is truly haunted, we just need to wait until he shows himself."
Cole shuttered. "Uh, he should've been here by now." He nervously looked around. "You heard the tour guide, if we're not out by sunup, we'll be ghosts."
Kai gives him a look. "You didn't buy into that malarkey, did you?"
"Hey, I don't wanna be a ghost! Who wants to be a ghost? Why didn't anyone warn us this place would get so creepy after dark?"
"Uh, remind me again why we agreed to put the guy afraid of ghosts in charge?" Jay asked as Zane pulled out a book and walked over to him.
"Listen to this!" He shouted into Jay's ear, causing the lightning Ninja to wince.
"Argh! Allow me." He takes the book and clears his throat, then gasps. "Whoa! It says here 'though many believed Sensei Yang's unusually strict teachings drove his pupils away, others admit to never seeing any of them leave the temple grounds, suggesting a more sinister plot.' Hah! How awesome is that!?"
"Not awesome!" Cole cried. "Not even a little!"
Kai rolled his eyes. "Don't believe everything you read."
Jay continued to read. "'Yang was hard on his pupils for a reason, for in his words 'As iron sharpens iron, Sensei sharpens student.'"
"Hmm. I wonder what he means by that." Kai said in wonder.
The grandfather clock strikes midnight, and an eerie wailing is heard from inside as it moves and the Ninja to back away from it. "It's him!" Cole cried. "He's in the clock!" The wailing continues.
"You're the leader!" Jay pushes him forward. "Check it out!"
Cole slowly walks up to the grandfather clock and prepares himself. He swallows hard before he opens the cabinet, causing something to fly out and he let out a terrified scream. As he covers his head as he cowers, it's revealed to be Zane's falcon. Zane presses the falcon, playing a recording of the spooky wailing and the three Ninja laugh.
"A prank!?" Cole demanded. "Really!?"
"We were just trying to help you relax." Kai told him.
"Yeah, heh. You should have heard yourself scream!" Jay laughed, and Zane plays the recording of Cole's scream, the three Ninja laugh again.
"If that gets back to Lloyd, Sensei, and the girls. There will be Hell Hath No Fury!" Cole threatens.
Suddenly a loud thud is heard causing the Ninja to gasp.
"Another prank!?" Cole demanded, he heads for the door. "Really funny! Didn't anyone teach you boys to quit while you're ahead!?" He walks out and slams the door.
Kai turns to Jay. "Uh, was that you?"
The man in blue shook his head. "Not me."
"Me either!" Zane yelled.
They soon realize it wasn't none of them. "Cole!" They three cried in union as they rush for the door. "Wait!"
XxXxXxXx
Cole walks along the hallway as more thudding is heard and the pictures on the wall rock side by side. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." He said, thinking it was his friends. "Very scary." He said in a sarcastic tone. He comes up to a door and the handles and door start to shake. "As if I believe in ghosts."
"I swear, Cole!" Kai as the others are running down the hall towards him.
"Let's go back! We didn't do that!" Jay cried.
"It wasn't us!" Zane yelled at the same time as Jay.
"Ok, I have to admit." Cole said as he turns to them as the handles continued to shake. "This is pretty good. How'd you get the handles to move all by itself? Are the girls behind there?" He turns back to the door and starts to open it.
"Don't open that door!" Jay cried, terrified.
XxXxXxXx
Once the door is open, it revealed to be a dojo. "Well, that was anticlimactic." Kai said as the team walks inside the room, they see a shrine with candles embitting green fire with a portrait of Sensei Yang who has a blonde black bread and a straw hat. "Sensei Yang's dojo." Kai said as they walk up to the shrine. "This is where he must've trained his pupils."
"Or." Jay gulps nervously. "Got rid of them."
"Knock it off guys." Cole said, not having it. "If that wasn't you behind the rattling door, who was it?" He folds his arms.
"The ghost of Sensei Yang!" Jay, Kai and Zane yelled.
"As iron sharpens iron, Sensei sharpens student." A voice spoke.
"IT'S THE GHOST OF SENSEI YANG!" The whole team screamed, terrified.
Jay soon sees the swords on the wall start moving. "Uh, guys, what does he mean by 'sharpen?'"
"Let's not hang around to find out!" Cole cried.
"Let's get out of here!" Kai yelled.
The swords fly off the wall and point at them while hovering in the air on their own.
"RUN!" Jay screamed.
The team soon runs out of the room, and closes the doors and the swords impaled it.
XxXxXxXxXx
The Ninja run down the halls, screaming as bats start chasing them and the pictures on the walls move about as evil laughter is heard. "Does this mean he doesn't want to teach us Airjitzu!?" Jay cried.
"Forget Airjitzu!" Kai cried. "Where's the window!?"
"This way!" Cole calls as they run up to a window. They try to open it as the bats start coming after them. "It's not opening! Why isn't it opening!?" He cries as they try to open it.
"Gah, we're caged in like animals!" Jay cried as evil laughter is again heard and the bats fly away and the team looks around.
"Argh! Let's try the front door!" Cole suggested.
"But that's downstairs, and in case you haven't paid any attention, there's flying weapons trying to slice and dice us!" Kai told him.
"How did we get upstairs without stairs!?" Jay cried, as Zane sees something behind him.
"There's a dumbwaiter!" He yelled, pointing behind Jay.
"Hey!" Jay yelled. "Watch who you're calling." He turns to see what Zane had seen. "Oh, a dumbwaiter! That can take us down."
XxXxXxXxXx
Now inside the dumbwaiter. Kai and Jay sit in front of each other as they moved the rope that's connected as the dumbwaiter slowly moves down.
"You said there'd be enough room for all four of us in here." Jay complained to Zane.
"My calculations are always correct!" Zane yelled, which resulted in him shouting in all their ears which had them flinching and wince.
"Ow, my ear." Cole rubbed his ear. "Well, turn on a light or something, because I can't see a thing."
Zane illuminates the dumbwaiter, before see the ghost of Sensei Yang between them, the Ninja shreak in fear.
"As iron sharpen iron." He's cut off when the dumbwaiter as both Jay and Kai let go of the rope and it crashes down on the lower level.
XxXxXxXxXx
The Ninja tumble out into a heap from the dumbwaiter, they scramble to their feet and race for the front door as two swords start to chase them. They take a corner and the swords continue to go straight and stab the wall.
XxXxXxXxXx
"As iron sharpens iron, Sensei sharpens student!" Yang's voice is heard again as the Ninja struggle to open the door.
XxXxXxXx
Opening the door, Cole immediately grabs the door handles as the others each grab a hold of each other.
Instead of being safe outside in the sunshine, the surrounds is like a twisted dimension, making Jay shriek. "What is it? What's down there?" He cried as he kicks and sways as he's at the bottom of the Ninja rope. "Oh, wait, don't tell me! I don't want to know!"
"We appear to be trapped within some kind of inter-dimensional ethereal realm!"
"Oh, I told you not to tell me, Zane!" Jay cried as his hand clutches Kai's ankles tightly. "Knowing that just makes things worse!"
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"That jerk is ruining Steep Wisdom!" Nya complained as she closed the passenger door to Eleanor's black Porsche after she pulled up to the side of the road in front of a store.
"He's also taking all of Sensei's savings." Chantal added as she and Eleanor close the car doors.
"But what can we do?" Eleanor asked as she locked her car with the keyless entry, the three head into the store.
"Let's just get this over with!" Nya huffs as she turns around. "I don't want Misako and Sensei alone with that rat bastered."
Chantal looks around. "Do you guys think Lloyd is ok?" She asked as she picks up a medium size jar and holds it as she looks off into the distance.
Nya and Eleanor look up from the jars, then look at each other before looking back at their friend. "He'll be ok." Eleanor reassured. "Once we figure out how to defeat Morro."
Nya then turns and bumps into someone, making both fall to the floor on their butts. "Hey! Watch it pal!" She yelled as Chantal and Eleanor knelt down on either side of her.
"Sorry."
Nya gets to her feet. "Sorry's not good enough." She growls.
"Whoa here, easy." The guy said as he raised his hands to his chest, palms facing forward.
"Sorry about that." Eleanor apologized. "Nya's a little fired up right now."
"Yeah!" Chantal added. "Once she's had her water, she'll be once again level headed."
Nya gives them each a glare. "No!" She yelled at them. "Sensei has it wrong!" With that she turns and storms off into a different part of the store.
Eleanor folds her arms with annoyance, then turns to the young man. "Why don't you come by Steep Wisdom?" She offers, pulling out a flier and handing it to him.
"And with that, we need to keep up with Nya." Chantal links her arm through Eleanor's and pulls her away. "Love for you to come by the tea shop!" She smiles at him. "But don't get any ideas, the Green Ninja is my boyfriend and Eleanor's boyfriend is the Black Ninja."
"But Nya's free!" Eleanor added cheerfully.
"Hey!" Nya's suddenly behind her two friends, making them jump. "Sensei's waiting for us!" She grabs each of their arms and yanks them to a different part of the store, leaving the young man to watch them, he then looks at the flier in his hand. "'Steep Wisdom', huh?"
