(A/N: Since no one asked which path to take, I decided to do the Geckle one first)
After a daring escape from the Skull Sorcerer, Kai, Zane, Gewuji and Blake end up separated from Lloyd, Jay, Cole, Nya and Geoff when the tunnel entrance caved in before Cole could have a chance to reach them. With nowhere to go, they had no choice but to go down the tunnel, hoping it would lead them to the surface. But so far, they haven't found a way out. In a part of the tunnel where some stalactites were covered in some purple moss and dropping off them, Kai, Zane, Gewuji and Blake were moving with Kai using his Fire like a torch. Kai soon groaned. "Are we just going in circles?" He asked.
"I believe my internal gyroscopic positioning would alert me if that were the case." Zane replied.
"Okay, good."
Zane looks around a little. "Unless the rock in this cave is ferrous or naturally magnetised."
"Well, then what would happen?"
"Then we could be going in circles."
"Oh, great." Gewuji sarcastically said. "Now you tell us?"
They soon came to a complete stop to look around. "Wait, does any of this look familiar to anyone?" Kai asked.
"Um, I don't know."
Blake looks at a nearby rock before becoming shocked. "Wait a second." He said. "I've seen this rock before."
"How can you tell?" Gewuji asked.
"We passed this rock an hour ago." Blake heads over to it and kneels down to an 'X' on the rock. "I put this here to mark our position. Like any other rock we passed by."
"Aw, then we are going in circles!" Gewuji turned to a nearby stone and kicks it away in anger. "Damn it!"
Kai groans in anger. "I knew it." He said. "I just said-"
"#All Geckles hail, the saviour of the cave#" A trio of squeaky voices were heard, singing something, surprising them as Kai extinguished his Fire.
"Cheese it!" Gewuji whispered before she forced Kai and Zane down while grabbing Blake by his gi and pulls him towards them as they head for some rocks on their left.
"#She was strong, She was tough, She was very, very brave!#" Gewuji puts a finger up to shush them while behind the rocks. It was some Geckles, carrying ladders before they place them on the stalactites. "#The great warrior Gilly, The saviour of the cave#" They start climbing up the ladders before using some squeegees to squeeze the moss off the stalactites and into some buckets. "#Left us the blade about which we rave, a great blade of ivory stolen by greed, So, we won't give up until our blade is freed!#"
"The moss is particularly plump and juicy today." A Geckle with a curved hat said, looking at his bucket. "More Moss Milk for everyone! Huzzah!"
A Geckle with a bandage wrapped around his head, sniffs his bucket. "Putrid and rotten!" He replied before dunking his face in it and gets it out. "Delicious!"
"There's so much today!" A Geckle with a straight hat said, turning to his fellow Geckles as Kai, Zane, Gewuji and Blake slowly rise from their hiding spot to take a peek. "We should've brought more buckets."
"I can go grab them." A Geckle with some ropes around his shoulders replied.
"Oh, do so, Gaerwulf." Gaerwulf starts to climb down from his ladder. Blake suddenly moves his head back a bit before moving it forward while trying to cover his nose and mouth with his prosthetic, letting out a sneeze, making the Geckle look around, unknowingly shaking his ladder. "What was that?" The ladder soon slid off, and he falls on top of the rocks.
The bucket lands on top of Gewuji's head, spilling Moss Milk all over her. "Ew, what is this disgusting stuff?!" She asked as she got the bucket off her head and tried to get the Moss Milk out of her hair while taking off her hair band, letting her dreadlocks loose. "It's in my hair! It's in my hair!"
"Groko, are you okay?" Gaerwulf asked as he comes up to him while the other two Geckles see Gewuji, trying to get the Moss Milk out of her hair.
"I just had this hair washed!"
Kai, Zane and Blake soon came out from behind the rocks. Zane had his hands together with an innocent look while Kai and Blake had their arms raised from the elbow and innocently smiled as well. "Who are they?" Groko asked, pointing at them.
"Outsiders!" The Geckle with the bandage around his head replied, pointing at them.
"They must be in league with the Skull Sorcerer!" Gaerwulf said, holding his squeegee out at them.
The Geckle with the hat soon came up to them. "Aren't all the Skull Sorcerer's servants evil skeletons?" He asked.
"Yuck!" Gewuji said, managing to get the last of the Moss Milk out of her hair as best as she could.
"Right." Groko said. "Yes. That means-"
"They must be skeletons!" The Geckle with the bandage replied, pointing at them, grabbing Groko's shoulder and shook him.
Gaerwulf looks at Kai, Zane, Gewuji and Blake, a little curious. "I don't know, Garpo." He said. "For skeletons, they seem rather fleshy."
"We are not working for the Skull Sorcerer." Zane replied. "In fact, we just orchestrated an escape from him and freed several other Geckles."
Groko scoffs. "A likely story, fleshy skeleton!" He said, holding his squeegee out at them.
"Did any Geckles say they escape from the Skull Sorcerer?" Blake asked.
"How should I know? Are you actually a spy for them, fleshy skeletons?"
"We aren't skeletons!" Gewuji said, stepping forward.
"Well, we do have skeletons, of course, but there's so much more to us!" Kai said.
"Like what?" Gaerwulf asked.
"Like veins and... and organs and stuff!"
"I have none of those things." Zane said.
"And, my right arm isn't my actual arm." Blake said, holding up his prosthetic arm and points to it. He then slowly undid the clips supporting it and takes the arm off, scaring them. "It may be removable, but it doesn't have bones in it, at all."
"Let us destroy them so we don't have to listen to the lies of these Flesh-Skeletons!" Garpo said, disbelieving them.
Groko and Garpo start to move toward them as they back away, but the Geckle with the hat and Gaerwulf came between them and the four Ninja. "Wait!" The Geckle said, holding his arms out. "We should be sure!"
"Let's take them to Chancellor Gulch." Gaerwulf said. "He'll know what to do."
"We agree with your fellow Geckles." Blake said, putting his prosthetic arm back on.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Kai said, putting a hand on the Geckle. "Good idea! Yeah, take us to your leader. He'll know."
