Under the Endless Sea, R.E.X. moves along. Kai is shaking as he never takes his eyes off the water, while Cole is at the controls. "We're almost to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master." Zane said.
"Yeah. Can't believe we're almost there after all we've been through." Cole replied.
"I can't believe I'm under water." Kai said, his voice shook.
"You?" Cole glared at him. "What about me?" He turns reaches up to knock on the window. "Just how thick is this glass?"
"We're heading to your location now." Sensei said on screen. "With Morro already ahead of you and able to foresee the traps protecting the tomb with the Sword of Sanctuary, it's going to be up to you four to find the Realm Crystal before he does."
Jay nervously laughs. "Cole's a ghost, Kai can't swim, we have no magical sword or Elemental Powers." He laughs nervously. "What could go wrong?"

R.E.X. passes a big shadow figure, it opens it's eye and looks down at R.E.X.

"I may not know the three tests you're about to face, but I discovered a riddle that makes reference to it that may help." Misako said, holding some paper. "'A Spinjitzu Master can. A Spinjitzu Master cannot. To move forward, don't look ahead, to find his resting spot.'"
"Huh, that's food for thought." Cole said.
Rainn gulps as she looks out into the water, she rapidly taps Jay on the shoulder never taking her eyes off the giant squid. Jay turns to look at her, then he sees the giant squid and gasps.
"Speaking of food, we're about to be some!" He yelled as the squid pursues R.E.X.
"We have to go faster!" Kai said. "Much faster!"
As Cole pushes on the controls, the the squid moves a tentacle, slamming it on the windshield, causing it to crack. Kai, and the girls scream out in fright as the three girls quickly jump on Kai.
"Hold on!" Cole yells, moving the controls to the left.

R.E.X. turns left and the giant squid continues to chase the vessel.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Ugh! What kind of weapons is this thing equipped with?" Jay asked as he looked around, and Chantal found a secret panel and opened it. Condoms and cigarettes sprang out showering everyone.
"Oops, sorry guys."
"Uncle Max smoked for years." Eleanor said as she swiped her right arm across the console. "Until he had a heart attack, after that he quit cold turkey."
"How's your uncle now?" Cole asked her.
"Fine now, that happened five years ago."
"We don't need weapons." Zane replied as he stood behind Cole. "Aim for that rock!"
"On it." Cole turns the controls.
XxXxXxXxXx
R.E.X. heads up to a rock with a hole and goes through it, the squid sticks it's tentacles the hole. But gets stuck as R.E.X. moves away.

The Ninja cheer. "Yeah! All right! Thatta Boy, R.E.X.! Thatta boy!" Jay cheers.

R.E.X. surfaces at the tomb's entrance. "If you wanna hide a tomb, this looks like a good place." Cole said as he moves the vessel towards edge. "We're here." They all climb out.
Jay groans as he sees a bit of green cloth, snagged on a branch, he picks it up. "Argh! There goes any hope Morro couldn't find this place."
"Hey, stay positive." Kai said as they see footprints. "We're about to risk our lives going through traps we know nothing about. All we have to rely on is each other. At least feel luck we got this far."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Jay mocked. "You're right. What was I thinking?" He starts in a sarcastic tone and panic. "Hey, there goes any hope Morro couldn't find the tomb! We're not alone! Yay! Now we're gonna have to fight him again! Sure we got our tails handed to us last time, but you never know in the future, because ninja never quit!" He throws his arm into the air, Rainn giggles at his reaction. "Better?" He asks normally.
"Eh, I'll take it."
"Look!" Chantal points at a statue.
"The First Spinjitzu Master." Cole breathed. "Creator of all Ninjago."
"Whoa!" Kai breathed.
"Destination reached." R.E.X.'s computer said as the windows all close up. "Auto return initiated."
"Auto return?" Rainn repeated as R.E.X. starts to go down.
"No, no! Bad, R.E.X.! Bad!" Jay cried as the Ninja chase after R.E.X. but the vessel submerges underwater.
"Damn you, Ronin!" Eleanor kicks a rock and it splashes into the water.
"Our Aeroblade weapons were in there." Zane said.
"Ugh, not to mention our only way back." Kai replied.
Jay threw his arms in the air. "Hey, stay positive!" He again mocks Kai. "Who needs a way back when we gotta go that way?" He points down the path behind them.
"No sword, no powers, no problem!" Kai said. "We can do this, guys. As long as we got each other, right?"
"Brother sharpens brother." Cole said. Making Eleanor, Chantal and Rainn give him looks.
"Uhh, maybe I shouldn't have said that while right next to a pool of water." Cole said nervously, then quickly jumps to the side to hide behind Zane.
"Sister sharpens brother, brother sharpens sister, and sister sharpens sister." Eleanor said.
"Sister sharpens sister." Chantal said with a smile and a nod. "I like that."
"Yeah, who needs the boys? We're not princesses." Eleanor said, the three girls linked their arms together and headed down the path.
The four Ninja boys looked at each other.

The Ninja walk into a room with looks of doors with symbols above each door. "This could be the first test." Cole said as they look around.
"Ooh! Why did it have to be tests?" Jay asks. "Why can't the tomb just be protected by Dragons? We're good with Dragons."
"I think we're supposed to pick a door, but which one?" Kai asked.
"Um, what was it Misako said?" Jay asked.
Zane started to recite what the clue said. "'A Spinjitzu Master can. A Spinjitzu Master cannot. To move forward, don't look ahead, to find his resting spot.'"
"A Spinjitzu master can." Kai said in thought as Eleanor started to have a panic attack, she sat on the floor and hugged her knees to her chest.
"We have to get out of here!" She cried in panic as she rocked back and forth. Cole walked over to her and knelt by her side.
"Sixteen doors." He said. "For sixteen realms?"
"Well, could be." Cole said as Eleanor was silently crying. "But let me guess, pick the wrong door and we'll be in a realm of hurt."
"Oh, I wish we had the Sword right about now." Jay said with a groan.
"We can figure this out." Kai said. "'A Spinjitzu Master can.' Can." He trails off.
Jay sees a symbol of a tornado. "The symbol above this door, it's a tornado." He starts to walk towards the door. "This could be the one, right?"
"Jay, wait!" Zane yells, making the blue Ninja stop as Zane looks at the door. "Step away from that door, Jay." He pulls his friend away.
"What is it?"
"We're inside a zoetrope."
"A zoe-what?" Kai asked.
"A zoetrope." Eleanor said in a shaky voice as she wipes her eyes. "The engravings in rapid succession creates a moving image."
"Uh, I don't get it." Cole frowned.
Realization dawned on Kai. "'A Spinjitzu Master can." Do Spinjitzu!"
"Exactly." Zane said as Jay, Rainn, Kai, and Chantal back away from him as he does Spinjitzu. "He's creating some sort of shape." He soon comes out and points at a door. "That one. That's the door out."
"But that's the same door we came in." Chantal frowned.
"Yeah, are you sure?" Cole asked.
"Are you sure you want to doubt a Nindroid?" Zane asked, as Eleanor jumps up and runs for the door.
"Get me out of this room!" She cried as she bulldozed Jay in the process.
"Jay!" Rainn ran over to him and helped him up. "Are you ok?" She asked as she held his arm as he stumbled and held his head with his free hand.
