Now, my Netflix is not currently working, so I have to rely on YouTube right now. So I only got to watch episode 1 and 2 today. I hope you like it!

XxXxXxXx

Raya yawned as she stretched and walked out of her bedroom, only to have Sora walk up to her.

"I'm worried about Arin."

"Shh." Raya shushed, pushing the pink haired teen farther down the hallway. "Don't say that right in front of my room with my dad nearby." The girls disappeared around a corner. "What's wrong with Arin?"

"You haven't seen how down he is lately?" Sora asked, making Raya fold her arms.

"Of course I have. I've just been giving him space, he'll come around eventually." The red head paused. "What's he been doing?" She asks. "Is he ok?"

"He's been watching that Intelligent George guy."

"Agh, not again. I thought I told him to stop watching that junk." Raya groaned. "We should try and find him."

"He's hiding out in the Hanger Bay." Sora replied just as Chantal walks up to them.

"Good morning girls." She smiles.

"Good morning Mrs. G … uh, I mean Chantal." Sora quickly corrected herself as Lloyd's wife doesn't want any formal titles on her.

"Have either of you seen Lloyd this morning?" Chantal asks. "I can't find him."

"I sometimes find him in front of Master Wu's shrine." Raya answered. "Or he's sometimes at he's at Steeper Wisdom."

Chantal nods. "Thanks." She walks away and disappears around a corner.

"'Steeper Wisdom?'" Sora asks, tuning to Raya.

"It was a tea farm that the Ninja use to do." The red head continues to move down the hallway. "Come on."

XxXxXxXxXx

Inside the Hanger Bay, the elevator door slides open to reveal the girls walking out and they find Arin relaxing in front of the computers and watching a show with a now teenage Riyu laying down next to him.

Sora holds up her left hand and it glows, causing the computer to fuzz out.

"What's going on?" Arin straightened up and Riyu lifts his head to turn to the computers. "Are we having a bad connection?"

Suddenly music is heard from the computers and Riyu instantly jumps to excited.

"What the?" Arin is definitely confused. "Sora?" He turns in the chair to see Sora and Raya walking up to him.

Sora laughs as she holds up her left hand. "Just practicing my tech powers." She smiles as she walks closer and Arin gets out of the chair. "Now that I can do them without Riyu's help, this is a whole new world for me." Her hand goes back to normal, and so does the computer.

Arin sighs sadly. "Must be nice."

"Look Arin, just because you don't have elemental powers, doesn't mean you're not."-

"Vital to the team." He cuts Sora off. "I know, I know. Lloyd tells me all the time."

"Then believe it." Raya told him, making him look at her.

"But."-

"Nu huh, no but's." Raya told him. "Butt's are for sitting!"

Her friends look at her confused. "What's that suppose to mean?" Sora asked.

Raya folds her arms. "It's one of Master Wu's sayings." She defended herself.

Sora didn't look convinced. "Right." She looks back at Arin. "You shouldn't be watching that junk anyway. Everything he says is made up."

Arin again sighs sadly. "You're right. But sometimes he talks about people who went missing in the Merge. Like my parents did, I have to find them." He turns to look at Raya. "You're lucky Raya, you were able to find your family."

"Is it my fault my dad and aunt are apart of the original Ninja?" The red head asked.

"No!" Arin shook his head rapidly. "Sometimes when I get too depressed or desperate I." He turns to look up at the computer. "I watch Intelligent George, a man … who, insists the moon is made of donut."

Raya walks up to the computer and types in something before the computer turns off. "You continue to watch that jerk. He's gonna melt your brain."

"Unless your dad beats him to it." Arin comments as he watches her.

"Arin." Sora places her right hand on his shoulder and turns him around to face her. "I have no doubt we'll find your parents. But you need a break."

Raya walks up to them. "Let's go to my mom's new place!" She suggests cheerfully. "She is rebuilding the Noodle House, and trying to come up with a new name for it."

"I was thinking about the courtyard." Sora replied. "We can flex the Ninja skills, and Riyu can try flying again."

Riyu perks up at trying to fly.

"I always like how you think, Sora." Arin said with a smile, now perked up.

Riyu leaps forward and two out of three teens leap on his back.

XxXxXxXxXx

A little later, Raya walks into the game room finding Kai and Zane playing a video game, Kai trying to explain something.

"Dad, Zane, have either of you seen Lloyd this morning?"

Kai frowns as he turns to her. "Not this morning. He looked pretty exhausted last night, so maybe he's over sleeping."

Suddenly Chantal hurries into the room. "Kai! Good, you're still here. Please tell me you've seen Lloyd?"

Kai shakes his head. "No, sorry."

Suddenly a sleep walking Lloyd walks in in front of the tv and bumps into the coffee table, waking him.

"Tea." He tiredly said, looking at the teapot. "I could really use some." He picks it up and starts to pour the liquid into the flower plant that sat on the coffee table.

"That one way to water the plants." Raya mutters.

"Hey, Lloyd." A concerned Kai starts. "You huh, trying a new way to drink tea?" He asks, waking up to blonde.

"Huh?" Lloyd shook his head and looked at the teapot. "Aw man. What am I doing?" He asks as Zane gets off the couch and walks up to him.

"Honey, I think your sleep deprived." Chantal said with worry.

"Me? N, no." Lloyd tried to brush it off.

Zane scanned Lloyd. "Hmm. It appears your body's operations are under vatig."

"Huh?" Lloyd blinks tiredly at him.

"You are over tired." Zane explained. "Have you been deficit sleeping?" He asks.

"What? Me?" Lloyd tries to mask how tired he is. "No. Sleeping like a baby."

Chantal raised an eyebrow.

"Well." Kai starts slowly. "Maybe you gotta crawl into your crib for a nap, buddy?" He suggests.

Lloyd looks at him. "Yeah, maybe you're right."

Chantal moves over to him, wrapping her around around him. "Come on honey, let's pile you into bed."

As the two leave, Zane and Kai look at each other.

"Ohhh, where's Master Wu?!" Raya worriedly said, just before they hear Chantal's startled cry and a thud, the three turn to see Lloyd and Chantal on the floor, Lloyd had fallen asleep on the floor with Chantal pinned under him.

XxXxXxXxXxX

Zane and Kai lowered Lloyd onto his bed.

"Thanks guys." Chantal thanked as Lloyd thrashed like he was having a nightmare.

"You're welcome." Kai said as he fluffed the pillow under Lloyd's head. He and Zane then left.

Once they left, Chantal pulled the blankets over Lloyd. "What's going on with you Lloyd?" She asked in a whisper.

XxXxXx

Later that night. Lloyd awoke with a strangled gasped his eyes flew open and he ended up doing Spinjitzu, flying into the door and slid down.

"Lloyd?" Chantal sat up from the her makeshift blanket on the floor.

Lloyd sat up, breathing heavily. "Aw man, that one was the worst one yet." He breathed.

"Lloyd?" Chantal's voice grabbed his attention, making him turn to her.

"Chantal!" Scrambling to his feet he ran over to her and tackled her in a tight hug. "You're ok!" He rapidly kissed her cheek. "And what are you doing on the floor?"

She laughed. "I'm on the floor cause almost every night you've been having nightmares where you thrash around and I get kicked." She explained, making her husband pull away.

"Aw, Chanti, I'm sorry." He apologized, still hugging her, like he was afraid to let her go.

"Sweetheart, are you ok?" She asked in concern. "Why are you having so many nightmares?"

The blonde shook his head. "I don't know." He admits.

"Could it be a warning?"

"A warning?" Lloyd asked with a frown. "I … no … I don't know." He stuttered.

"Baby, you are half dragon." Chantal reminds. "You have dragon blood, maybe it could be your dragon side that's trying to warn you."

"I don't know." Lloyd again repeated, he sighed. "I need to go outside for awhile." He kissed her cheek and pulled away. "Go back to sleep." He helped her to the bed. "I'll join ya in a bet."

XxXxXxXxXx

Lloyd soon stood in front of Master Wu's shrine, he sat down and lowered her head. "My nightmares are getting worse, Uncle." He told the patriot. "Like I'm being haunted. I don't know if."- He trails off when he hears a noise behind him and he turns to see Arin walking out of the Monastery. "Arin!? Why are you awake?"

Arin just looked depressed. "I was going to ask you the something." Then admits. "I can't sleep. Worrying about my parents. I can't stop thinking about them since I saw them in the Mergequake battle." He looks at Lloyd, who still sat in front of Master Wu's shrine. "And then I heard a loud noise come from your room."

"I kind of had a nightmare."

"Are you ok?" Arin asked. "Everyone's been noticing how strange you've been acting lately."

"Really?" Lloyd asked. "I thought I was hiding it pretty well." He moves away from his uncle's shrine. "Ok, look, I've been having dreams that are so livid, so frightening. I hate to sleep. I've never experienced anything like them. Maybe they're tied to that Source Dragon I was a conduct for." He turns to face Arin. "But I haven't been able to find any information about Source Dragons anywhere."

"You've been through a lot." Arin told him. "Like saving the entire Merged Realms. It would make sense that all that's coming out in stress dreams. And Raya told me once that you have dragon blood. Your dragon side could be trying to tell you something."

Lloyd let that soak in. "Huh." He looks at Arin. "Arn't I suppose to be the teacher here?"

Arin laughed, he looked at Master Wu's shrine then turns to Lloyd. "Listen young one, dreams can never hurt you." He said as best as he could, trying to sound like Master Wu even though he never met him. "For they are not real."

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say my uncle is right next to me." Lloyd said as he walked up to Arin. "Come on, let's go back to bed."

As the two walk back inside the building, neither notice Master Wu's ghost figure watching them.

XxXxXxXxXx

The following morning. Everyone minus Lloyd and Zane are in the kitchen having breakfast. Zane walks in.

"It appears Skylor is in distress." He said, making Kai panic.

"Skylor!?" He cried, springing to his feet. "I'm coming baby!" A trail of fire is left in his wake.

"Well Arin, you wanted to know my dad's reaction whenever someone mentions my mom's name." Raya said calmly before stuffing more eggs into her mouth.

A shocked Arin nods. "I, I did."

Nya sighs, shaking her head before turning to Zane. "Zane, is Skylor really in trouble?"

The Nindroid nods. "Yes."

Raya climbs to her feet. "Aunt Nya?"

"Yep, let's go." Nya agrees.

XxXxXxXxXxX

Inside a small building, where Skylor planned for new restaurant. "Are you ok, Skylor?" Nya asks as the family stood around in the middle of the room.

"I'm ok." Skylor answered with a nod. "But nothing seems to be taken. Nothing tripped the alarm." She frowns. "But I know I saw something on the camera."

Kai frowns. "What'd you find?" He asked.

Skylor pulls out a tablet and tapes on it. "I thought I saw smoke." She admits, turning the tablet around and handing it to him.

"Smoke?" Nya asked. "Like the Elemental Master Ash?"

"It couldn't be him." Kai shook his head. "We haven't seen the Elemental Masters in years."

"Elemental Masters?" Raya asked. "But I thought only the Ninja had Elemental Powers back then?"

"I thought you paid attention to Master Wu's history lessons?" Nya asked her.

"I did." Raya nods. "But … I fell asleep every time." She said weakly.

Nya sighs. "Just like your father."

"Is there a compliment in there somewhere?" Kai asks his sister. He turns his attention back to Skylor. "What'd the thief take? Is the register empty?"

"That's the thing. The register hasn't been touched or moved. I head to the bank when I close up for the day. But I did notice that crates of apples, bananas, and blueberries are missing."

"So let me get this straight." Raya said. "Someone came in, not trip the alarms." She scratches her head. "Just for a fruit salad?" She asked.

XxXxXxXxX

That night, Sora, Arin and Riyu are doing some investigating at the Crossworlds. "Hey, there's Raya." Arin smiled, moving to the red head, Riyu bounces after him and is followed by Sora.

"Raya!" Arin smiles, causing her to turn around to face them.

"Hey, what are you guys doing?"

"There's some kind of ghost going through antique shops." Sora answered. "But no alarms go off and nothing is stolen."

The red head frowned. "Weird." She places her left hand on her hip. "The something happened to my mom's restaurant."

"The only way to know who is doing this is to catch them in the act!" Arin exclaimed. "But where?"

Suddenly Riyu started to sniff, he looked at Raya and pounced on her, she laughed as the dragon sniffed all over her.

"Somebody's hungry." She pushes Riyu off her and sits up. "Alright boy. Sit!" She commanded, and he did. "Good boy." She pulls out an instant noodle cup and opens the lid. "You can have the rest."

Riyu squealed with excitement and Raya gave him the cup.

"He's a growing boy aright." Arin turned, and frowned. "'All Realm Antiques Imperium'?" He read the sign of a shop. "'Grand Opening Sale'?"

"That sounds promising." Raya grinned.

"Yeah! We just found the Night Ghost's next target!" Arin said, the four walked towards the building. Sora tried the door.

"It's closed for the night."

"Witch means we have to steak it out." Arin said. "Riyu, let's stock up on some steak out noodles."

Riyu squealed happily and licked his mouth hungrily.

XxXxXxXxXx

Later, the three teens stood on a roof next door. "Ugh! How much more longer do we have to poke this steak?" Raya asked, getting impatient.

"You didn't have to stay with us." Sora turned to her.

"The last time I stayed out this late, I got grounded for two weeks!" Raya retorted with a huff as she folds her arms. "And plus, my powers are a little wonky lately, ok?" She huffs with a snap.

Sora just rolled her eyes. "What are we gonna do if the ghost does show up?" She asks. "Ghosts aren't known to haunting antique shops. None that I can use my powers on."

"At least you girls have powers." Arin said sadly.

"Arin. You can do Spinjitzu. You taunt yourself! Raya learned it from her dad, who learned it from Master Wu. I can't."

"Sure, a wonky verson of it." Arin huffed.

"Arin, we all had a wonky version of Spinjitzu in the beginning." Raya told him gently.

"But every time I try, I don't get any better." He continued. "And you know my Spinjitzu throw? When I Spinjitzu something in an object? I still can't figure out how that works!"

Suddenly a cloud of smoke out of nowhere in front of the antique shop, grabbed Raya's attention.

"Guys, it's show time." She turns to them, grabbing Arin's arm and pulling on his arm. "Look!"

"Hey, where'd he come from?"

"There's no way he can go in without breaking the door down." Sora added.

The man in front of the store took a step backwards and suddenly in a poof of smoke, he was gone and inside the shop.

"Whoa!" Raya gasped, her eyes wide.

"Is that the Elemental Master Of Smoke?" Arin asked.

"But that can't be Ash." Raya said. "My dad said they haven't seen or heard from the others in years!"

XxXxXxXxXxXx

Back inside the Monastery, Lloyd bolts up in bed panting and breathing heavily as he's covered in sweat.

"Lloyd?" Chantal sleepily sat up. "Honey?"

He turns to her. "Chanti, I'm sorry I woke you again." He gets out bed. "I need fresh air." He leaves the bedroom.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

After a big fight with a new enemy called Cinder. A freaked out Lloyd, Arin, Sora, Raya and Riyu return to the Monastery. As Lloyd, Arin, Sora and Riyu enter the building, Raya turns and walks up to Master Wu's shrine.

"Master Wu, I know you love to be mysterious, but please, please give us a sign that you're still alive. We need you, your nephew needs you." Tears glittered Raya's eyes. "Please come back, Master Wu."
