Inside the Kingdom, the Ninja approach the gates as they remove the heavy coats as a middle aged man while the gates open. "Welcome to Cloud Kingdom." He greets. "We've been expecting you."
Jay looks down below them. "Ha, how are we."- He's cut off.
"Standing on a cloud? Easy. In other Realms, there are other rules. I'm Fenwick. I've been asked to show you around."
"Nice to meet you. I'm."- Kai is cut off.
"Kai Smith. The fire Ninja. Yes, we all know. You're quite popular with the other monks. Up here, we see everything that goes on in Ninjago."
"Then you know."- Eleanor is also cut off.
"You've traveled far for the Sword of Sanctuary, a powerful weapon that can foresee your opponent's next attack. It's also the second clue to finding the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master."
"Blimey. How be you."- Zane is also cut off.
"Finishing your sentences? I know, it's rather annoying, but up here we know, let's just say ... we know what's going to come next. Come, I know Morro isn't far behind. Follow me and I'll explain." Fenwick heads back towards the gates with the Ninja following.

Inside the Destiny's Bounty, Ghoultar is locked up in the brig as Wu, Nya, Chantal, and Ronin interrogate the ghost as he tried to pull on the bars and roared.
"Deepstone bars." Chantal said. "You're never getting out of here. Now tell us, what's in the tomb that's so important?"
"What does Morro want?" Wu added into the questions.
"Ghoultar never talk." The ghost said. "Oops, Ghoultar talked. Uh, Ghoultar no talk from now on."
"Oh, I'll get him talkin." Ronin raises his Aeroblade.
"No, Ronin. We must find another way to get answers out of him." Wu said, taking the weapon from Ronin and giving it to Chantal as Ghoultar laughs.
"Let him laugh." Misako said as she walks in. "The Ninja are already in Cloud Kingdom and well ahead of Morro. Let's just hope they can find the Sword of Sanctuary before it's too late."
"We must use our time wisely. Come, Nya." Wu said as he turns. "There's still training to be done. AS for Ghoultar."-
"Don't worry, old man. I've got him." Ronin cuts off Wu.

Inside the Cloud Kingdom, Fenwick leads the Ninja into a library, where a lot of people are currently writing in scrolls. "Wow, it's the Ninja." One of them said as they watch the Ninja.
"Wow, the Cloudians." Eleanor breathed as she walked between Jay and Cole. "They really do exist."
"I know you're familiar with a few of the realms." Fenwick starts as they move along many of the Cloudians, who were writing and briefly looked at them. "Cloud Kingdom is just one more of the Sixteen Realms that exist parallel to Ninjago."
"Sixteen Realms?" Kai asked.
"In this realm, we strive for greater understanding and let go of distractions. There is no television, no video games."-
"No video games!?" Jay cried, scoffing. "Hmmph. Not impressed!"
"It appears all any lad does here be writing." Zane said with the pirate accent.
"That is because here, our words matter." Fenwick said as they stop near a Cloudian, who was writing in a scroll. "You see, in Cloud Kingdom, we are the writers of destiny."
"Destiny? My mother abandoning her family was destiny?" Eleanor demanded with hurt, Cole wrapped his arm around her for comfort.
"What has been written, has been written." Fenwick said as he turned, Eleanor made a move with a fist ready to slam it into his head, but Cole was faster and grabbed her waist and pulled her back.
"Also, it was it was here that it was decided that Lloyd should be the Green Ninja." Fenwick took a scroll from a nearby Cloudian. "And just now, that Zane should find his voice again."
"I sense my vocal pattern has returned without any repairs." Zane spoke normally.
Jay groans. "Ugh! He doesn't talk like a pirate anymore!"
"How'd that happen?" Cole asked, letting go of Eleanor and she folds her arms glaring at Fenwick.
"It was written." Fenwick answered simply, giving back the scroll, before taking another one. "Here is something about you Jay."
Jay pushes himself between Kai and Zane. "What,what,what,what!?" He cried in his usual Jay fashion.
"Not only was it for you to be a Ninja. There is another destiny for you. But I cannot tell you. It is too early." He looks at the scroll. "And you'll cause a scene soon." He gives the scroll back. "But don't worry."
"Don't worry!?" Jay cried, throwing his arms out. "Don't worry!?"
"Oh boy." Kai said with a sigh.
"Have you even met me!?" Jay cried, flailing his arms about. "What's the other part of my destiny!?"
"Jay, watch!"- Zane's warning is drowned when Jay's right arm hit a Cloudian, who was trying to walk around him as he flailed his arms about, the scrolls in the Cloudian's arms went flying. One scroll hit a nearby Cloudian who was writing, causing him to spill the ink onto the parchment.
"Oh, poor Dareth." The Cloudian yelled as he tried to wipe the ink off of Dareth's destiny's scroll with his sleeve.
Jay nervously laughs. "Oops." He turns around to help the Cloudian, who he knocked down. "I'm really, whoa!" Blue eyes met blue eyes.
"It's fine." She said as she gathers the scrolls in her arms.
"Rainn is our scroll keeper here." Fenwick said as Jay continued to stare at the Cloudian.
The Cloudian nods as she looks at the Ninja. "It is very nice to meet you Ninja." She smiles before she turns to look back at Jay. "What's your name?"
"I'm ... I'm ... I'm ... I'm." Jay stuttered, still staring at her as he momentary forgot his name.
Cole rolls his eyes. "You're name is Jay."
"R, right!" Jay bobs his head rapidly. "I, I'm Jay."
Rainn nods. "It's very nice to meet you all." She looks around at the Ninja, before turning and running off.
Jay blinks, then picks up the ink beaker and hands it to the Cloudian, who just finished cleaning Dareth's destiny's scroll, he turns back to Fenwick. "Sorry."
"Like I said, don't worry." Fenwick said as he turns and gives the scroll back to the Cloudian.
Jay watches as Rainn comes back into the room, and places scrolls into cubbies.
"If you know what's going to happen next, then you know how important it is for us to get the Sword of Sanctuary." Kai said to Fenwick.
"Yes, and I know you made a promise to save your friend Lloyd. Sadly, we cannot ensure promises, because we aren't allowed to choose sides. And no one else will tell you this, but we had intended for Morro to stay in the Cursed Realm."
"What do you mean 'intended'?" Cole asked.
"He was never supposed to escape. He somehow defied destiny. And now we're playing catch up. Do you think we wanted you to become a ghost? That's preposterous. Ever since Morro broke free, things have been happening outside of our control. To be honest, we don't know how this will end."
"Then quit talking and give us the sword." Eleanor said.
"Yeah!" Kai said. "We'll find the tomb and stop Morro."
"Look, we wanted to give it to you, but first, the Master Writer wants to see you." Fenwick leads the Ninja further out of the library.
"Fine, then show us to this 'Master Writer'." Kai said. They pass by Rainn as she stood with another Cloudian who's writing in a destiny's scroll, the two watch Fenwick and the Ninja.
XxXxXxXx
Fenwick leads the Ninja to a floating skiff. "So this Master Writer, he'll decide if we get the sword just by looking at us?" Cole asked as they climbed in.
"It is an important decision, one that will not only decide the fate of Ninjago, but the fate of the Sixteen Realms." Fenwick said as he starts to move the floating boat.
"Do you know what's inside the tomb?" Eleanor asked.
"I do." Fenwick held his hands out as some clouds suddenly move aside to show a path in the clouds. "Morro's after the Realm Crystal. It's the doorway to the Sixteen Realms." A giant gem appears ahead of them.
"Wow!" Jay exclaimed.
"It is a bridge to greater understanding...or a gateway to ruin. When the First Spinjitzu Master created it, he knew the power to freely cross realms could never fall into the wrong hands, which is why he buried it with him in his final resting place. A tomb protected by impossible traps that only a Master of Spinjitzu could get by with the aid of the Sword of Sanctuary." Fenwick explained as he showed the Ninja realms of what Morro's intension for the Realm Crystal is for.
"But I thought Morro just wanted to be the Green Ninja." Cole said with a frown. "What does he want with the crystal?"
"It is not Morro who sees the power to ruin, but his master, the Preeminent."
"The Cursed Realm." Kai said. "He's in charge?"
"Not he, but she. Queen of the Cursed, an evil so vengeful, she cannot crossover by any other magical means. But if Morro uses the Crystal to free her, after cursing Ninjago, there will be no stopping her reign until every last Realm falls under her control." Fenwick pulls the floating boat up to a temple. "We're here! Wasn't that a lovely ride?"
"Yeah, you paint a lovely picture." Kai spoke with sarcasm as the Ninja get off the skiff, Eleanor clinging to Jay's left arm as she's still freaked out about the ride.
"Now if you just wait in here, I will be back with the Master Writer in a moment." Fenwick opens the door of the temple, and the Ninja head inside.
XxXxXxXx
The moment the Ninja walk in, the door slams closed and they hear the door being locked, Eleanor runs for the door and grabs it as she tries to pull it open.
"We're locked in!" She cried. "And there's no windows!" She cries as Cole walks over to her.
"You'll be ok Ellie." He said gently, placing a comforting hand on her back. The team turn to look at the room and it looks like a child's room with posters and stickers.
"Oh, look, a pinball machine!" Jay cried, spotting it by a TV as he comes to it. "Ah, it may not be a video game, but it's the next best thing." He starts playing it as Eleanor picks up a teddy bear.
"Strange place to meet this Master Writer." Zane said as they observe the stuffed animals.
"Yeah, I thought this place didn't have any distractions." Cole agrees. "Looks to me like they just shoved them all up here." He adds as Eleanor continued to hug the teddy bear, looking extreamly nervous as she looked around.
"Yeah!" Jay cheers in victory at the pinball machine.
"Hey, leave that stuff alone. We want to make a good first impression." Cole tells Jay.
"Oh, just one game!" Jay pleads. "Whoever had this high score is going down!"
"That machine sounds strange." Zane said as he and Eleanor watch Jay.
Jay groans as he looses, but the sound won't stop and he backs away from it. "Oh, that's not the machine!"
"Then what is it?" Kai asked as growling is heard as giant footsteps are heard as a giant furry creature emerges from a dark room, roaring at the Ninja.
"Ohhhh, shit." Eleanor breaths as she takes a step backwards.
XxXxXxXx
Rainn is putting scrolls inside their cubbies, when another Cloudian hurries over to her as he holds a scroll.
"Rainn, the Ninja." He gasped. "They're in danger."
She drops the scrolls and looks at him. "What!?" She cried, snatching the scroll and read it. "Master Writer!" She cried as she turns and runs towards Fenwick with the scroll. "Master Writer! It's the Ninja! They're in terrible danger!"
"Of course they are Rainn." Fenwick said evily, she saw Morro, Soul Archer, and Bansha next to him. "Do not be shy, our new guests and I have made a mutual arrangement. My destiny is secure. I am afraid the ninja's are not."
"Where did you send the Ninja?"
"I locked them away with Nimbus. I am sure Nimbus will love his new playthings."
Rainn took a few steps backwards. "Nimbus?" She asked in shock and horror.
"Now show me to the Sword of Sanctuary." Morro told Fenwick.
XxXxXxXx
Nimbus roared as it came towards the Ninja and they yelled. "Jay, I don't think he likes you trying to break his record." Eleanor said as the Ninja back away.
"There goes our good first impression." Cole said.
"Forget about the first impression!" Eleanor told him.
Nimbus grabs a body pillow and throws it at the Ninja, they manage to dodge it as they back away. "Is this the Master Writer?" Zane asked as he, Cole and Jay trip over some toys. "He's in charge of our destiny?" He backs into a pillar as Kai pushes him out of the way.
"Whoever he is, I don't think he's handing over the sword." Kai comments as Eleanor grips his back like a frightened cat as Nimbus comes up to Cole and Jay.
Jay runs for the door, but couldn't open it. "It's still locked!" He cries as he puts a foot on the door and tries to yank it open. "Why the hell would it be locked!?" Nimbus grabs him and shocks him and throws him towards Kai and Eleanor.
"Ok, so now I know how that feels." Jay said, still jolting while Cole and Zane hurry up to him. Nimbus growls as the Ninja look at him and they resume running around separately. Incept for Eleanor, who's still latched to Kai's back like velcrow.
Kai jumps behind a giant stuffed animal. "Ellie, I got an idea." He said. "But please, get off me." She does so.
"What is it?"
"Operation." Kai said as he picks up a teddy bear. "Distraction." He looks at her. "You ok?"
She looks around, then back at Kai. "Yeah."
He nods as he turns towards the giant furry creature. "Over here, big guy!" He calls as he waves his arms. Nimbus hurries over to the two Ninja, Kai grabs Eleanor's arm before jumping away, Nimbus grabs a teddy bear and hugs it. "Ah. Oh, so you like your toys, huh?" Kai grabs a smaller teddy bear. "Stay, big fella." He tells the creature as it growls. "Stay, or I'll break it!" Kai looks at his friends. "Hurry, find a way outta here!"
Jay moves the table with the TV on it, as Zane comes to some blocks and throw them over his shoulders.
Cole turns to the door. "What am I doing?" He asked himself. "I'm a ghost!" He walks through the wall.
XxXxXxXxXx
Once outside, Cole looks at himself and faceplams. "Oh, I'm such a dummy." He quickly comes to the door and looks through the keyhole as Jay comes up to it.
"You can undo the locks!" Jay cried.
"I'm a Ninja, not a locksmith. I need a key."
"Be the key, Cole! BE THE KEY!"
"Oh, good idea." Cole goes into the lock.
