Atop the Wailing Alps, Bansha, Morro, and Soul Archer sulk in their failure to get through the Blind Man's Eye. Soul Archer advises their leader to be patient, though Morro points out that the Ninja will have the upper hand if they get the Sword of Sanctuary first.

"Hell yeah" Aria said

"Who taught you that word" Morro asked

"My dad" Aria said innocently

While Morro struggles to fight off Lloyd, Bansha claims to be in contact with someone willing to let them into Cloud Kingdom the back way.

"Lloyd getting a bit too strong for you" Aria teased

"That's because your here" Morro said annoyed

"Lloyd imma kick his ass don't worry" Aria said

"Aria keep it PG" Morro complained

"Fuck you" Aria shouted

"Aria... why didn't we tie you up" Morro questioned

"Because I'll just break it and your possessing my boyfriend so it's not like I'll leave anyway" Aria shrugged and Morro sighed

At the gate of Cloud Kingdom, the Ninja are greeted by Fenwick, who reveals that the inhabitants of Cloud Kingdom write the destinies of Ninjago, such as deciding Lloyd would be the Green Ninja.

He shows them into the city, noting that Morro is likely not far behind.

Back aboard the Destiny's Bounty, Nya, Wu, and Ronin question Ghoultar, intending to learn what Morro is after in the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master.

However, the ghostrefuses to say anything. Ronin threatens to use his Aeroblade, but Wu advises another approach. Misako then enters and assures them that the Ninja are far ahead of Morro. Wu decides to use the time to continue Nya's training, and leaves Ronin in charge of their prisoner.

Fenwick shows the Ninja inside the library, explaining that Cloud Kingdom is just one of Sixteen Realms that are parallel to Ninjago. Instead of distractions like television or video games, Cloud Kingdom focuses on writing destinies, such as Lloyd becoming the Green Ninja or Zane's voice returning back to normal, which it does.

Jay notices a writer writing about Dareth, though accidentally spills ink over the paper, causing the Brown Ninja to run into a cement truck. Fenwick then reveals that they are not allowed to choose sides, and thus cannot guarantee Kai's promise to save Lloyd.

However, he also reveals that Morro defied destiny as they had intended he remain in the Cursed Realm. This has caused events to happen outside of the writers' control, such as Cole becoming a ghost. Kai demands the Ninja be given the sword so they can fix things, but Fenwick insists that the Master Writer wants to see them first.

Meanwhile, Ronin has turned on the radio, and Ghoutar happily dances to it. The ghost, however, brings up the mercenary's deal with Soul Archer and how convincing he was in the Samurai Cave. Ronin quickly quiets him, promising that he will make good on his end of the deal.

In Cloud Kingdom, the Ninja board a boat with Fenwick, who explains that Morro is after the Realm Crystal, which is buried in the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master, for his master, The Preeminent, queen of the Cursed Realm, who seeks to curse all sixteen realms.

He also tells how Morro intends to turn Aria against them using Lloyd. That is another reason why Morro hasn't gotten rid of Lloyd's body yet.

They soon arrive at a small temple, and Fenwick ushers them inside, promising that the head writer will be there shortly. Inside the temple, the Ninja find a room filled with toys. Instead of the Master Writer, they are greeted by a large, angry, bear-like creature, which attacks them.

Meanwhile, Fenwick greets Bansha, Morro, and Soul Archer, having made an alliance with them, since he believes they cannot be stopped. And of course Aria is with them, but has not changed sides. He agrees to show them to the Sword of Sanctuary.

The Ninja manage to escape the room with the bear, thanks to Cole using his abilities as a ghost to transform himself into the lock to the door. A student who had noticed Fenwick's betrayal directs them to the temple where the Sword of Sanctuary is kept.

However, Morro has already obtained the Sword, and the Ninja are unable to defeat him, since he can predict their every move. Morro escapes onto a Cloud Kingdom skiff, transformed by Bansha and Soul Archer. Aria going to the ninja.

The Ninja commandeer another skiff, but their pursuit is delayed by the bear-creature. However, the student from before comes to their rescue by finding Fenwick's destiny scroll and writing on it, causing the bear-creature to chase Fenwick instead. Both skiffs leave Cloud Kingdom through the Blind Man's Eye, emerging back onto the Wailing Alps.

Aboard the Destiny's Bounty, Misako nearly convinces Ghoultar to talk by feeding him Puffy Pot Stickers. However, they dropped a set of keys near the cage when they were contacted by the Ninja, who inform them of Morro's plans.

The group tries to intercept the ghost skiff with the Destiny's Bounty, but are attacked by Ghoultar, who has freed himself with the keys. Nya throws Ghoultar overboard, and he lands on the ghost skiff, which is weighed down due to all the Pot Stickers that he ate.

While the rest of the Ninja board the Destiny's Bounty, Kai and Aria catch up with Morro's skiff and they duel the Master of Wind.

Morro overpowers Kai using the Sword of Sanctuary. Aria went to kick him and Morrow saw it coming, while he was ready to catch her foot she quickly kicked under his feet sending him to the floor instead.

"Way to go Aria, how'd you fake him out" Kai asked

"I didn't finish thinking of what i was going to do, i just did it, the sword wasn't able to tell what i was going to actually do" Aria explained

Morro prepared to attack again, but is stopped by Lloyd who has temporarily regained control of his body.

"Guys take the sword, Aria go with the ninja stay away from Morro. Hurry" Lloyd said weakly

Kai takes the Sword, wraps his arm around Aria and uses Airjitzu to return to the Destiny's Bounty right as the skiff goes over a cliff.

The Ninja now only need to find the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master. Ronin, however, reminds everyone they don't know where the tomb is, making everyone mad, and causing Nya to say he ruins everything.

"He's not wrong" Aria mummbled

"Not you too Aria" Cole said and Ronin and Aria laughed.
