I can't believe the fire nation was defeated yesterday

Monile: Morro NEVER gets a break.

NinjagoMLP: Mira is a bad child.

Nicktastic: ^

Ebony: He's fairly tough. He's broken bones before, which meant they've healed back stronger.

EntityEndDragon: Unfortunately, yes.

Samantha: Good. You should be afraid.

Chan: THANK YOU

Windy: Indy might like him a bit more than she lets on. Also yeah, I've read about that. Funny, I always hug a pillow/stuffed animal when I sleep... I wonder who I miss.

"So obviously the first thing we're going to do is find my dad." Lloyd 2 said bluntly.

"Well, that would take some planning." Zane 1 said thoughtfully. "We can't just watlz in and hang out, we'll be spotted. The Preeminent will most likely sense us. We'll have to be in and out."

"We can do that. We have the Realm Crystal."

"Yes, but we need to break your father's chains."

"How did you break your Garmadon's chains?" The crippled ninja nodded towards the elderly man on the other side of the room.

"We got Clouse to free him from his curse."

"And where is Clouse?"

"Just down the hall from him. I think."

"Then we shouldn't have any problem." The ninja and co were meeting to discuss their next move, now that they had the Realm Crystal. Though he hadn't spoken, Lloyd agreed that they should go get his double's father. The other him might be more accepting of Morro 2 if his father was returned. Not to mention Morro 1.

"True enough." The nindroid nodded. "All in favor, say aye." A chorus of 'aye's sounded from around the table. "Good. After that, then what?"

"We try to capture Bansha again?" Kai 2 suggested.

"Yeah. And take the city while we're at it." Jay 1 agreed.

"Or," Dyana spoke up. "We could just kill the entire city, with Bansha in it. That would be easier than trying to capture her, and she would lose her strongest point. And we'd free so many people." Jay 1 tapped his finger on his chin.

"That could work, but then we'd still have to deal with her."

"She's just the Preeminent's pawn." Lila pointed out. "She'll be replaced by someone just as bad." Jay frowned.

"Good point." He admitted. "Yeah, it's probably not worth it to capture her."

"Yeah." The door opened behind them, and Lloyd glanced over his shoulder to see Morro entering the room. Wait, that's… that was Morro 2. Why was here? Lloyd had told him to stay in his room. And, where his chains… snapped? His deepstone cuffs were broken on the chain, the remaining links hanging uselessly from the cuffs on his wrists.

"Morro?" He spoke up uncertainly. "What are you doing out here?"

"I'm here…" Morro walked to the enter of the room, ignoring the fact that all eyes were on him, and snatched up the Realm Crystal. "For this." Half the room shot to their feet, including Lloyd.

"Morro, what are you doing? Give me that!" He ordered, raising his voice. The ghost only smirked.

"I don't think so. I don't follow your orders anymore." He spun around, throwing the others – who had been trying to approach - back with a gust of wind.

"Morro!" Lloyd tried to grab him, but he went through him. The ghost glanced over his shoulder.

"Oh, do you think you can stop me?" Turning, he grabbed Lloyd by the front of the shirt, slamming him against the wall. "You're a gullible fool." He hissed as Lloyd struggled. "What gave you the idea that I, your worst enemy, could ever be your friend?" The others tried to attack him, but he blew them back again. "You did treat me well. So I'll have mercy on you." He smirked, dropping him to the ground. "But I will take a hostage. How about…" His eyes swept over the group before landing on Indigo. "You." With a gust of wind, Morro grabbed the void mistress and pulled her towards him.

"NO!" Morro 1 screamed as Indigo cried out in alarm. Without giving her a chance to react, Morro 2 created a portal and vanished through it with Indigo. Sinking to the ground as the others began to exclaim in shock and horror, Lloyd covered his face in shame. No. This couldn't be happening. Because of his foolishness, they had lost Indigo, the Realm Crystal, and a dangerous prisoner. Lloyd started to cry. Morro 1 had been right, he was faking it. He had been faking it all along. And Morro 2 was right too, he was a gullible fool. He had put all their plans in jeopardy.

Nearby, Mira fainted.

"Ow…" Morro 2 flinched as Indigo's fiddling with his cuffs jarred his broken arms. "Owww, that hurts."

"Well I can't do anything about your arms until those chains come off. So just hold still." Indigo muttered, trying to pick the locks on his shackles.

"But it hurts." The ex-king whined.

"I know it does. But if I'm going to fix your arms…"

"Yeah, I know.' Morro shut up, but still whimpered and tried to pull away from time to time. Finally, she managed to get one wrist free, and he pulled his arms in front of him with a relieved sigh. "Th-thank you…"

"Let me see if I can get the other one off." Indigo shifted to his right and began to mess with the remaining cuff, soon getting it off as well. After hooking the chains to her belt – she figured they could be useful for something – she moved to sit in front of him and tried to assess his injuries. "Do you feel like anything's broken?"

"I think my wrists, and my shoulders are dislocated…" He stared at the ground, arms limp.

"I can snap your shoulders back into place, but…"

"…but it will hurt." He finished.

"It will make them hurt less, though."

"I… can you knock me out first?"

"Mmm… I guess." Indigo touched his arm and drained his energy, waiting for him to slump to the ground before grabbing his shoulder and forcing it into place. There was a popping sound, but the ghost didn't flinch. He was completely out. Good, she would prefer to not have to listen to his screaming. She did the same for his other shoulder, then sat back, hoping she'd done it right.

"Hey." Indigo jumped, whirling around at the voice from the end of the alley. "Don't I know him from somewhere?" A figure stood in the shadows at the end of the alley, their face hidden by the growing darkness.

"Uhh… probably, considering he used to rule the world." Indigo got to her feet, backing up warily. Did she know this person? Were they an enemy? If they weren't, why didn't they reveal themselves?

"Wait, that… that's Morro?" The figure crept out of the shadows, revealing a tall, dark-haired girl. Not someone she knew. "I heard he was killed. Who are you?

"Who are you?" Indigo shot back.

"I asked first." The girl folded her arms, straightening up.

"I asked second." Indigo raised an eyebrow. The girl huffed.

"Fine. I'm Nicole. Who are you?"

"I'm Indigo."

"What's he doing here?"

"Trying to heal." Indigo knelt by his silent body, putting a protective hand on his arm.

"Heal from what?"

"Uh, well… he didn't die, he got captured by the good guys and the Preeminent replaced him with Bansha. Lloyd got him to turn good, then someone we thought was an ally uh… threw him off a bridge. He survived, but he got pretty badly hurt."

"Oh." The human girl frowned. "Poor guy." She sat down about a foot away from him. "He's sleeping?"

"Uh, yeah, pretty much."

"Hmm." Nicole lifted her hand, and a light blue mist floated from it towards the sleeping ghost's head. Immediately, Indigo shot to her feet.

"What are you doing? What was that?!" She demanded.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" The girl smirked. Indigo took a fighting stance.

"If you hurt him-"

"Alright, alright. I didn't hurt him." Nicole raised her hands in surrender. "I'm an elemental master. I just gave him good dreams."

"You what?" Indigo relaxed her stance a bit.

"I'm the master of dreams." She elaborated. "I can affect them. He looked restless, so I improved his dreams." Indigo glanced down as Morro shifted a bit in his sleep.

"That doesn't sound very practical." She said bluntly. "Your element."

"It's more handy than you might think." Nicole shrugged. "I can give people daydreams, talk to them in dreams, influence their thoughts in my favor… it's gotten me out of plenty of scrapes."

"Huh." Indigo sank down on the ground again. "So I'm assuming you live here?"

"Yep. Lived here all my life. How'd a ghost like you end up becoming buddies with the ninja?"

"Simple. I was buddies with the ninja before I became a ghost."

"Ah." The dream mistress nodded. They were both silent for a few moments before Indigo spoke.

"You wouldn't mind staying here and keeping an eye on him while I go get help, would you?"

"Uh… not really." Nicole shook her head. "Why?"

"If he's alone, someone random might find him and finish him off."

"Uh, okay." The human shrugged. "Sure."

"Great. But if you hurt him, I will kill you." Indigo gave her a suspicious glare before turning invisible and scampering off out of the alley. It was an empty threat, she didn't care enough about Morro to kill someone for his sake. But hopefully it would keep her in line. Keeping her cloak up, Indigo ran off, towards the base and towards Lloyd.

Mira: Well I managed to lose Indigo to so I have to come up with an explanation for that

Mira: Oh this works

Emobillcipher: You didn't give me many details for Nicole, so I inputted my own ideas. Hope you don't mind. Also, in case you didn't get my reply, your email didn't show up in the message you sent me.

Also, the next thing I post will not be an update to this. It will be something far more... sad.

So you can look forward to that.

:)
