Here's William! Hope you like him!

The Destiny's Bounty lands in front of Steep Wisdom and everyone starts to exit the ship.

"Sensei, thank you for letting me go on that mission." Rainn thanked.

"You are welcome." Wu nods to her. "With all the talent we have, we still need all the help we need."

Kai walks up behind them. "Shouldn't we be going to Stiix." He asked. "The longer we wait, the worse it'll get."

"We need to stock up." Sensei explained.

Jay beams. "On what? Magic tea that will make us invincible!?" He gasps. "Give us special powers? Is it gonna give us four arms?"

Eleanor's eyes widen. "I don't want that!" She cried.

Everyone make their way towards the shop, Sensei leading them. "Sadly, no magical tea today." He points to the shop that has a sign on the front door. "I had to sell the rest of the merchandise along with everything else."

"What? You sold your business?" Zane asked. "But that was for your retirement!"

The doors soon open, revealing a man the Ninja's age. Eleanor, Chantal and Nya look at each other, reconizing him immedentally.

"Hello, ladies." He greeted with a smile. "I didn't realize you were with the Ninja."

"I believe we told you from the start." Chantal said, folding her arms as Eleanor nods.

"Yeah."

"You never did tell us your name." Nya added, while Kai is giving her a funny look.

"You pushed your friends away before any further conversation could take place."

Kai pushed his way through the girls to stand in front of them, mostly in front of Nya. "Ok, then." He places his hands on his hips. "Who are you?"

"William Petrillo." The man introduces himself.

Suddenly Cyrus Borg wheels himself out from behind William.

"Ah! Hello again, Ninja." He said with a smile.

"Daddy!" Eleanor smiles brightly as she hurries over to Borg and the two hug.

"Ellie, it's so good to see you." Borg smiles at the Ninja. "I see you've just met Will."

"And who is he again?" Jay asked confused, pointing at William.

"My new assistent." Borg explained, he looks at Eleanor. "Of course you and P.I.X.A.L. are still my number one assistents."

Sensei walks up to the father and daughter and turns to the Ninja. "While we were away, I had Borg use the money from the tea farm to create us some new toys to balance the scales." He explained. "They are expensive, you know."

"It's been so long, I hardly recognize any of you. Lloyd looks older. I see a Water Ninja." Borg smiled. "A titanium Nindroid. Cole is a ... a ghost?" He laughs nervously and looks at Eleanor, who nods and he looks back at the team. "Jay looks shorter. And, and then there's Kai."

"Hey!" Jay complained, offended. "What do you mean I look shorter?"

Kai moves his arms and folds them, looking suspiciously at William, but the fire Ninja turns to Borg. "I'm sorry, Dr. Borg, but cut to the chase. We don't have much time."

"Yes, always the impatient one." Borg said, he wheels himself to into the shop and press a button.

The symbol on the ground behind them, open up and a floor raises revealing mechs and vehicles.

"If you want a little muscle with that hustle, I've made Jay a lightning-fast Ghost Taker GT. Front spectral intake, rear incorporeal storage."

Jay whoops. "Oh, why did the ghost cross the street?" He asked as he hurries over to the vessel. "Oh, I don't know, maybe 'cause he saw me coming in that!" He jumps into his new vehicle and drives it in a lap around them.

"Zane's Ice Mech. Sure it appears to be the same, but I've equipped the underarms with Deepstone particle shooters, allowing you to freeze the competition."

"Super cool." Zane said as he ran up to the mech. "And I mean quite literally." He leaps into in.

"Cole, I've made you a Ghost Cycle. Twin carbine blasters, auto-evasive handling. Made entirely of Deepstone, perfectly molded to fit the, uh ... bodiless. And I've set all the radio presets to your favorite: soft rock."

Cole gets on the big motorcycle. "I do love a slow jam!" He starts it and turns on the radio. "Whoa!"

"And for you Kai." Borg tosses him a headband.

"A ... headband." Kai said, trying not to be disappointed.

"A personal embroidered headband. Thirty-two thread count, easy tie capabilities." William explained.

"I apologizes." Borg said as he gives another one to his daughter. "I lost track of the time building the other vehicles." He explained as he looked at Kai, his eyes land on Lloyd. "Eh, same goes for you, Lloyd. To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure you'd be making it back."

"Hey, I'm just happy to be here." Lloyd smiled. "We'll take any help we can get."

"I hear Morro has opened a bridge between our two realms." Borg said. "It'll take time for the Preeminent to cross.

"Which is why we need Lloyd to use his powers to destroy the Realm Crystal before that happens." Sensei replied. "If Ninjago is cursed, the other realms are sure to follow."

"But they'll be expecting us." Eleanor said.

"And Morro still has the Sword of Sanctuary." Chantal added. "Even with all these fancy new vehicles, how are we supposed to get close?" She asked as Jay stops his vessel.

"Yeah, we're supposed to take on an army of ghosts?" He asks.

"Maybe I can lure him out." Lloyd suggested. "He said he always wanted to be the Green Ninja."

"No." His uncle said. "He will not leave the Realm Crystal unguarded until his master is freed."

"But even with our powers back, he's seen all of our moves." Cole said.

"Then we'll show him something he hasn't." Kai said, grabbing his sister's arm and pulling her away from William. "A water Ninja!" He said as he pushes her between the vehicles.

"But ... but I've just started my training." Nya said. "I haven't even found my True Potential."

"Sis, when our parents passed, you were there for me. Now, I'm here for you."

"He's right." Cole said. "She's our greatest weapon."

"And as brother sharpens brother, the same should go for a sister." Zane said.

"Our greatest power isn't what we can throw at him." Lloyd said as he walked up to the Smith siblings. "It's what we have right here. A united team."

"So, what do you think, Nya?" Sensei asked. "Are you ready to lead them into battle?"

"I'm in!" Nya said. "But if they know we're coming straight for them, how about we show them not every path is a straight line?"

"Intrigued." Zane said. "Do you have a plan?"

"I'll explain on the way."

I don't know how to tie William into Morro's family history. He has the Wind element. I was thinking maybe a cousin?
