Grunting could be heard as the Destiny's Bounty flew through the sky and Kai was seen doing Airjitzu while trying to reach for a flag on top of the mass. He was about a few inches from reaching it before his Airjitzu suddenly went out and he fell back down. He grunted again as he tried to reach for the flag, but nowhere close to it. "Seriously!" He grunted as he was taking a breather. Kai then tries again, only for the same result to happen while Ronin looks down near while on deck was himself, Jay, Zane, Demir, Nya, Rose, and Lydie as they were wearing new armored Ninja suits.
"Aww, just short," Ronin taunted from the top of the mast, mocking the Ninja as they practiced while looking up at him. "Like your temper, Kai." He said as he eats an apple.
"Let me try." Jay spoke up. "I'm forsure better Airjitzu'er than you, Kai." He bragged.
"Oh, yeah?" Kai questioned as he stood up. "And when did that happen?"
"Like now!" Jay called as he then did Airjitzu as he flew up to the flag, but he lost his balance as he fell down to the deck as Nya caught him and the others looked at Jay in amusement.
"Oh, yeah, that was so much better than me," Kai commented as Rose giggled.
"It, it was," Jay said while feeling embarrassed he fell in Nya's arms, "Eheh, have you been working out?" He commented to Nya in embarrassment.
"Better than you, Fall-boy," Nya teased with a grin.
"That wasn't Airjitzu, that was Fail-itzu!" Ronin joked while pulling out an apple.
"Or Stupid-itzu," Kai added.
"How about Bungle-Itzu?" Demir tried.
"To master the powers of Airjitzu, we must uplift, not put each other down, Ronin," Wu mentioned as he walked out on deck.
Ronin took a bite of his apple. "You closed the shop for a week, you gotta let me have some fun," he replied with a mouthful. "Aren't Nindroids supposed to be precise?"
"Ah, Uncle, these new suits are a bit heavy, they're weighing us down." Lydie said as she gestured to the black armor they were wearing. "Why can't we just use one of our old ones?"
"These are embedded with Deepstone," Wu answered. "They will protect you from being possessed."
"Yeah, well, maybe the name 'Airjitzu' isn't uplifting enough," Jay mentioned as Nya put him down. "Maybe we need something more inspiring, like… Cyclondo!" He shouted before he did Airjitzu, but he overshot the flag as he gave a yell.
"Missed. Again," Ronin called before Jay fell past him and caught his apple. "Hey!" he complained as Jay landed on his legs while holding Ronin's apple as he gave a laugh.
"Cyclondo," Jay smugly stated as he took a bite out of Ronin's apple.
"We are not calling that," Nya told him.
Kai then turned to Nya, Rose and Demir, "So how goes the Spinjitzu training?" She asked the three.
"Well, compared to the Water training, I'm so horribly awful, watch this," Nya said as she activated the Bounty's training equipment as she charged towards it, "Over the Planks, Dodge the Swords, here comes the Dummy!" She recited as she jumped, kicked, whipped around and spun into a light blue water tornado.
"Whoa!" The others said in awe as they watch Nya go at it.
Demir then looked to Rose, "Come on, our turn!" He said as Rose nodded and they charged in too, "Over the Planks," He started doing a jump.
"Dodge the Swords," Rose added as she ducked under a training bot.
"Here comes the Dummy!" Both Rose and Demir said as they spun around, Demir turning into a silver metal tornado and Rose became a pink tornado of petals and leaves as they circled around the others with Nya as they came out of her Spinjitzu.
"Oh yeah!" Demir cheered while jumping.
"We did it!" Rose declared clapping her hands.
Nya whooped with her fists up, "Spinjitzu Masters, baby!" She declared.
"Nice!" Jay said giving Demir a fist bump, "Keep this up, and pretty soon we'll have three new elements to the team," He commented.
"The More the merrier, I say," Kai told Zane, who nodded.
"And I for one, am real glad we finally got more girls on this team," Lydie said wrapping her arms around Rose and Nya, "Helps me keep an eye on you knuckleheads." She teased as Rose and Nya laughed.
"Speaking of Knuckleheads," Ronin said as he slid the mast down to them, "Where's the Black one?" He questioned.
Kai gave a sigh. "He's pouting." He said as he looked down below deck.
In the sleeping quarters, Cole was alone in the room as he sighed, without Deepstone armor since he's already a ghost, feeling sad about his bodiless as Seliel, who was picked up from Ninjago City, walked in by the door, having heard of her boyfriend without his body as she sighed and walked in. "Hey, Boulder Brain. Don't feel like training?" Seliel asked as she walked up to Cole.
"In case you haven't heard, I'm a ghost," Cole reminded her harshly before he turned to her. "And don't tell me we can fix this, 'cause we can't. This is just…" He trailed off as he looked at the cup in front of him as he raised his hand. "...who I am now." His hand phased through the cup as he flopped onto his bed. "I don't feel anything anymore."
Seliel then sighed. "Cole, you did what you could to gain Airjitzu for you and the others. And as Sensei says, our paths in life are never a straight line." She said to him. "I mean, look at Nya, we all thought she would be Samurai X forever but she's preparing to become the Master of Water, and no matter how horribly awful she is at it, which is a bit funny that I think she's trying to fake her way out." She gave a chuckle. "All I know is, ninja never quits!" She declared as she hopped onto the bed.
"But I'm not a Ninja anymore." Cole said sadly as he stood up. "I'm a ghost."
"Then what do you do?" Seliel asked with a soft smile. "I think that's something you have to answer on your own. Ghost or not, you're still you, Cole."
Cole was surprised by her words before Nya came in from the door. "Misako's about to debrief us about the next clue." She said to the two.
"We'll be there in a moment." Seliel said to her, "By the way, Nya, you are rocking that color." she complimented.
"Thanks, it's my favorite color," Nya said proudly as she walked off.
Seliel chuckled as Cole then stood up, "Hey, thanks again Sel. I need that." Cole said as he gave her a hug. Seliel noticed her hands went through his body but then Cole concentrated as his hands turned physical and held Seliel's back as the two smiled.
In another room, the group crowded around as Misako did a slideshow of each sword section. "Now that both Morro and you have Airjitzu, it's time to turn our attention to the second clue, the Sword in the Cloud." Misako stated.
"Me senses tell me it could be many a swords," Zane spoke up with a pirate accent before Misako flipped through many projections of different swords as he listed them out. "Thar be the Fire Sword, the Sword of Destiny, the Golden Cutlass."
The others looked at Zane in confusion while Jay gave an amused look. "I thought you fixed his voice?" Lydie questioned.
"We did, and then I made it better," Jay explained with a snicker.
"The Sword of Invincibility, the Sword of Invisibility," Zane continued to list out some swords while the others chuckled in amusement.
"You're right, he is better." Kai said with a chuckle.
"The Blade of Ruin," Zane finished.
"Aye, Zane," Misako said with an amusing smile. "And to add to your colorful account, there are many more swords. But it wasn't until Morro and his allies commandeered Nya's Samurai Mech that it all became clear." She then turned the slide to the sword symbol. "It's the Sword of Sanctuary, protected in the Cloud Kingdom."
"Cloud Kingdom?" Ronin scoffed. "I know every square inch of Ninjago. There ain't no place called the Cloud Kingdom."
"You're right, Ronin." Wu said to them. "It isn't in Ninjago. It's in a parallel realm that can only be reached through the Blind Man's Eye."
"The Blind Man's Eye. The powerful storm that soars across Ninjago from high above the clouds," Nya questioned, "But's altitude is too high for the bounty to reach,"
"Unless we ascend the tallest mountain in Ninjago," Misako said as she clicked to the next slide to show a picture of a mountain and multi-colored cyclones going into a huge hole in the sky. "The Wailing Alps."
Wu then steps next to the screen. "Yes. The Wailing Alps. When the Blind Man's Eye passes its peak, you five Ninja will jump into the eye of the storm using Airjitzu to cross over into Cloud Kingdom, to take possession of the Sword of Sanctuary."
"Whoa, whoa, Sensei, you're throwing around some big words here, but I think you got one wrong," Jay spoke up. "It's Cyclondo, not Airjitzu." He said before getting a strong whack to the head, "Ow!"
"Jay, you can't just rename a sacred fighting technique into something you alone think is cooler," Lydie told him firmly, "We're calling it Airjitzu and that's final, understood?"
"Yes, Captain!" Jay said with a nervous look.
"So, this Sword of Sanctuary that we're after, what makes it so special?" Cole asked the eldered ponies in wonder.
"It's special because within its blade you can foresee your opponent's next move," Wu explained.
"And whoever gets it will have a huge advantage," Misako added as she turned off the projector. "Lights, please." Nya turned on the lights as Misako continued. "This is about more than finding the next clue to the Spinjitzu Master's tomb. This is about saving my son. You cannot fail."
"We won't mom. We promise." Lydie assured as she gave a serious look. "Especially now that I'm back in command."
"Wait, you're the leader again? Since when?" Jay questioned.
"Since you boys just proved to me you're terrible leaders," Lydie snarked. "I mean, it's a miracle that we made it this far. But apparently, when I was in a mood after what happened to Lloyd, Zane glitchy voice, Kai turning up waterfowl, Jay's childish demands, and Cole shortsighted planning, you guys can't even keep it together under pressure."
"Hey, I don't make childish demands!" Jay said in defense while the others gave him brows, which made him look surprised. "Really?"
"Yes. You kinda do, buddy." Cole said with a shrug as Jay groaned.
"So for this point on, I'm back in charge and this time, I'm gonna keep a clear head," Lydie said with a serious tone. "Because we already took risks like what happened with Cole turning into a ghost, no offense." She quickly said as Cole nodded. "So this time, we're all gonna do it right, we'll climb the mountain, pass through the Eye, get the Sword, find the tomb, save my brother, and stop Morro, in that exact order." She said in determination.
The others looked at her in surprise before Kai smiled. "Good to have you back, Captain." He said as the others all smiled as well.
Lydie returned the smile. "Now, let's gear up. We have one big mountain to climb." She declared as they all nodded.
Nyaon the bridge as the Bounty flew straight to the Wailing Alps while the others looked at the mountain ahead, shivering from the cold. "It's getting really cold," Jay said while shivering.
"Freezing if you asked me," Kai said while shivering as well.
"You're the master of Fire, how can you get cold?" Demir questioned.
"Well, since our powers are unstable, I have to block off and resist the urge to use them without burning this whole ship out of the sky." Kai stated.
"Me temperature be kept shipshape at 98.6 degrees." Zane said, which surprised the others.
"Alas, why couldn't we all be part heater?" Rose asked as she shivered a bit.
Nya walked up to them. "Guys, we need you down below. Your mechs are ready." She told them.
As the Bounty flew closer to the Wailing Alps, it started freezing as some ice started to coat it. While below deck, the three Ninja's old mechs are inside while a new one are made for Zane. Zane's mech is all white with blades on its elbows.
"Without your Mechs, you'll never be able to survive the extreme conditions on your own," Nya instructed them as each of the Ninja, except for Cole, were wearing winter hoodies on their heads and boots. "We've also installed headsets into your hoods for easy communication. Try it out." She said as they mounted into their mechs.
Jay then cleared his throat as he spoke. "Tell me, Zane, how tall is this mountain?" He asked.
"The precise elevation of the Wailin' Alps well over three leagues and 28 fathoms," Zane answered in his pirate accent while Jay snorted in amusement.
"Zane's so much cooler," Jay quipped.
"Hey, what about me?" Lydie asked indignantly, reminding them she didn't have a mech, "I just declared myself Leader again and I'm already benched again?"
"Oh, don't worry, Lydie. I have a special surprise for you." Nya said with a smirk as she pressed a button on the wall, which opened a secret door on the wall as it revealed to be the Golden Mech Lloyd used when they first battled the Overlord but it was fixed up and repainted with purple and black color scheme.
"My Grandfather's Golden Mech?" Lydie said in surprise and awe.
"I managed to salvage and fix it up after the battle in Ninjago City," Nya said walking up to Lydie with a proud smile, "I call it The Obsidian Mech."
Lydie looked at the mech in awed as she turned to Nya. "I thought this thing was beyond repair without Lloyd's golden power." She muttered.
"Oh, Dr. Julian may have thought that, but with the new tech that I replaced, this old relic will work like a charm." Nya told her, "It can't fly or weaponry, but it has better agility, armor, speed, and more up-to-date tech," She listed out.
Lydie then squealed in pure excitement as she rushed up to Nya and gave her a tight hug. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou, Nya! You're the best!" She cheered as she let go of Nya and got into the Obsidian Mech.
"Mm, I try." Nya said with a smirk and hands on her hips.
"Alrighty boys, let's take these puppies out for a ride." Lydie said eagerly.
"Remember, once you get to the peak, you'll only have one shot to shoot the Blind Stallion's Eye. Don't miss," Ronin advised as he walked up to the release lever.
Cole was feeling uncertain about this. "I don't know guys, you had time to practice. Maybe I should sit this one out." He suggested.
"Don't even think about it." Kai spoke up. "You maybe a ghost but you're still part of the team."
"And if wasn't for you getting the first clue, we wouldn't even be here," Jay reminded him.
"Meaning we're doing this with you or not at all," Lydie told him with a smile.
"So whaddya gonna do, Boulder Boy?" Seliel asked as Cole turned to her, "Are ya in, or out?" She asked with a grin.
Cole thought for a moment before he gave a determined expression and focused hard enough to make his hands solid and grab the handles on his mech. "Open the hangar doors." he ordered.
"Opening hangar doors!" Ronin repeated as he pulled the lever, which made the alarms went off and the bottom of the floor began to open.
"Woo-hoo! Ha-ha!" Jay cheered. "Is anyone else getting a tingling feeling?"
"Yeah, frostbite," Kai answered nervously.
"Hang on to your hoods, boys!" Lydie advised.
"Drop 'em!" Ronin called as Nya pressed the green button the got the hooks off the mechs.
"NINJA, SNOW!" the Ninja called as their mechs fell through the floor as they all yelled and fell from the Bounty while Cole started screaming while flaring his mech around. The four out of five Ninja landed their mechs perfectly on the snow. But they looked up as they still heard Cole screaming as he crash-landed right in front of them.
"Cole, are you okay?" Kai asked in a worried tone.
Lydie and Jay quickly picked Cole up as he sighed. "Gotta work on that landing," he said as he turned to the others. "Hey, you sure you want me along? I can hardly control my new body let alone this piece of metal." He said unsurely.
"Hey we all have our bad days," Jay told him with a smile. "We pick you up so you can return the favor."
"Jay be right." Zane spoke up. "The only way we're gettin' up ye mountain is if we be a hardy crew."
"This isn't about who's a ninja, a nindroid, a boy or girl, or even a ghost. Above us all else, we're family," Lydie told him with a smile, "And as Iron sharpens Iron, Family sharpens Family."
Cole then felt inspired as he spoke. "All right family, let's do this," he said as he moved his mech while the others followed along as they could see Blind Man's Eye moving towards the peak of the mountain in the sky.
At the bridge of the Bounty, the group are looking at the monitors while checking the position the Ninja are while also following the wind current of Blind Stallion's Eye with a timer counting down from three hours. "The Blind Man's Eye will be passing the peak in T-minus four hours," Nya informed.
"Good, then if there isn't any trouble, they should be able to get there in time," Wu stated.
"Just out of curiosity, why is it they call it the Wailing Alps?" Ronin asked in wonder.
"Yeah, I mean, why do they even call it that?" Demir asked in wonder as well.
"Because the unnaturally strong wind gusts blow through the canyons, it creates a sound akin to a whale song," Misako explained. "They say some gusts are strong enough to blow someone clear off the face of the mountain."
"Right. No trouble at all." Ronin said sarcastically after hearing why it's called the Wailing Alps.
"I have a terrible feeling about this." Rose said in concern.
Back on the mountain, the Ninja were still trekking, "Ah, not so bad when you get the hang of it," Cole commented, now being able to control his ghost body better now.
"So this Sword of Sanctuary, you really think you can see all your opponent's attacks?" Jay asked with an interesting smile. "If we had that kind of power, not even Morro could stop us."
"But if Morro got his hands on it, nothing can stop him, which is why we cannot fail." Lydie said with a serious tone. "We just have to keep climbing."
After a bit of walking, Kai let out a groan. "Frost! How much further is it to the top?!"
"Thar be a long way," Zane replied. "At least 100,000 steps up."
"A hundred thousand!?" Lydie exclaimed before groaning, "Thank goodness I'm not counting," she complained.
"267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 273," Jay counted each step they took before something caught his eye. "Oh look, a little goat." He pointed out in the distance a Walloper that mooed.
"That's not a goat." Kai spoke up. "Don't you remember? We rode one of those."
"It got horns. It's a goat." Jay argued.
"Even giraffes have horns." Kai pointed out. "And that's not a goat. It's a yak."
"A yak? No way. Maybe it's a cow." Jay said.
"I'm about to have a cow." Kai said before the two were slapped from behind, "Ow!" He yelped.
"Ow!" Jay said as they looked to Lydie.
"No you idiots, it's not a cow or a yak, it's a Walloper," Lydie told them with a look. "So can we please continue on. We're on a time limit." She said as she moved forward.
"How did she slap us behind the head without leaving her mech?" Kai questioned as he and Jay rubbed their heads.
"I don't know. But lets go before she does something else we might regret." Jay said as Kai nodded as they continued forward.
Zane then noticed something in the snow, "Arr, look, tracks." He told the others.
"Maybe it was another Wolloper?" Kai guessed.
"No, way too big, and it's on two legs," Jay noted.
Zane leaned closer and inspected the footprints as he scanned them. "These tracks are fresh, Zane. Be careful," Pixal advised him in his head.
"Pixal has analyzed ye tracks," Zane said as he stood up. "We not be the first ones to climb this pass today."
"You think it was Morro?" Kai asked.
"Who else is crazy enough to be at this altitude?" Jay questioned, knowing it's obvious. "If he's ahead of us, we're bound to cross paths."
"So be ready, boys. Because something tells me we're gonna be in for a fight." Lydie said before they heard a sound similar to a whale song.
"What's that sound?" Cole asked nervously as the wind started to blow heavily.
"Wind gust! Anchor down!" Zane shouted as they all had each of their Mechs drove their claws into the ground.
"Hold on, everyone!" Lydie called, but then Cole's mech crashed into them, sending them down as they slid down a bit before the four steady themselves while Cole was about to fall off the edge.
"I can't hold on!" Cole shouted as Zane used his grapple to grab Cole to prevent him from falling off as he sighed in relief. "That was close. I owe you one." He said as Zane pulled him up.
Lydie took the lead as they began to climb again. "Come on, there's still a lot of mountain to go." She said as they continued climbing.
On one of the highpoints of the mountain from where the Ninja are, Morro, who was in Nya's possessed mech, and his three ghosts looked down at where the Ninja were. "So, they are following us," Morro said with a look.
"We're too far ahead. They'll never catch us," Soul Archer assured as Morro groaned a bit.
"Feeling tired Morro, Morro?" Bansha asked, almost tauntingly.
"Lloyd's spirit continues to fight my possession," Morro told them. "He's getting stronger."
"Bah!" Bansha scoffed. "You have already lost the Allied Armor. We cannot fail to secure the Sword of Sanctuary."
"We could go faster if you abandon Lloyd's body." Soul Archer suggested. "These winds don't affect us ghosts after all."
"Our Master will not accept any fallbacks," Bansha told him, "If she was here-"
"But she's not here, I am," Morro interrupted firmly, "And need I remind you, only a living Spinjitzu Master can find the Tomb. If I leave Lloyd's body now, the sword will be useless." He then moved the mech forward. "Our master sent me to find the tomb, so until she's freed, you follow my orders." He then turned around to face them. "Understand?"
The three ghosts looked at Morro for a moment in irritation before they sighed. "Yes, Morro." They all said.
"At least let me slow them down," Bansha suggested. "You summoned us for a reason."
"Very well, send them a message," Morro said with a nod. "Something they'll hear loud and clear to slow them down while we make it to the top." Bansha nodded and floated to the edge as Morro and the rest of the ghost continued onward. Bansha released a mighty scream, which caused an avalanche to form in the mountain.
At the lower part of the mountain, the Ninja continued climbing before they heard the scream. "Now what's that sound?!" Jay questioned as they all stopped.
"Another gust?" Cole asked.
"No, that sounded more like a shriek than a wail," Lydie noted before they heard rumbling and saw a wave of snow rushing toward them, "But I know what that is: AVALANCHE!" She screamed in panic. "RUN!" She ordered as they all started running.
The Ninja kept running before the avalanche came up close to them. "Here it comes! Hold on!" Kai shouted as they were all caught in the avalanche and were sliding down as they all screamed.
Cole was in his mech as he tried to regain control, but his hands went through the handles. "I can't control my mech!" He yelled in panic.
"Me neither!" Jay yelled out next.
"The avalanche is too strong!" Kai shouted as Jay then saw a big rock ahead of him.
"No! No!" Jay screamed as his mech crashed into the rock, causing it to break into pieces as Jay flew into the air before he landed on the foot of the mech as he started screaming and saw a cliff ahead.
"Jay, take my hand!" Cole called as he got out from his mech and raised his hand to Jay, but it went right through him the second they touched.
"Concentrate, Cole!" Jay shouted as Kai got out of his mech and saw a tree ahead as he quickly jumped on and grabbed the branch.
"I got it," Kai said with a smile. "Hey, guys, I-" He was cut off when his branch broke and he started screaming as he landed with Jay and slid down with him.
Zane tried to get out of his mech but he was stuck, "Argh, Blimey! I be trapped!" He exclaimed as Lydie managed to gain some control of her mech.
"Zane, grab on!" Lydie told him as her mech grabbed Zane's hands, "Jay, Kai, jump onto Zane's Mech!" She ordered.
"Okay, captain!" Jay called as he and Kai jump onto Zane's mech as Lydie then stabbed her mech's hand down, trying to slow down, but still heading towards the edge.
"The snow is too steep! I can't get a grip!" Lydie shouted as she tried to keep a tight grip but kept slipping.
Cole then saw they're getting closer to the cliff. "What do I do? What do I do?" he asked himself before he gave a determined expression. "What do you do, Cole? You don't give up!" he declared as he then saw a snowball rolling down next to him, giving him a crazy idea as he dived down into the snow and into the snowball. As the others screamed on Frost's mech while Lydie still tried to find a grip as they were nearing the cliff. But they saw the snowball moving in front of them before it took the shape of a snow golem and caught them by grabbing Lydie's mech legs, with her holding onto Zane's, before they could fly off.
Lydie looked up at the snow creature and noticed a familiar face with glowing green eyes on it. "Whoa! Cole! Is that you in that thing?!" She asked in shock, as were the others.
"Just picking you up to return the favor," Cole answered from in the snow as he moved the two mechs with a swing which caused them to yell as Cole put them down as the others got off the mech.
"You possessed the snow," Kai said in amazement as the snow golem dissolved to reveal Cole underneath it.
"Yeah, I guess I did," Cole said in surprise, not knowing he could do that.
"Ha, ha, ha!" Jay laughed in joy. "First we get Cyclondo, then we get a ghost on our side!"
"'Tis good to see you smile, matey," Zane said with a smile before turning to Lydie. "So what be our new course, Cap'n?"
"Okay, so we lost three mechs, but we're up in spirit than before." Lydie noted as she looked at the distance of the mountain they fell. "Still, my mech could make up the time thanks to Nya's upgrade. But how are you guys gonna catch up in Zane's Ice Mech? And we've lost a lot of ground." She pointed out.
"How about we see what else I can do?" Cole suggested with a smirk under his mask.
A moment later, the Ninja, who are on Frost's mech, are moving faster than how Zane's mech was before as it started jogging faster up the mountain at high speed with Lydie's mech taking the lead. "Woo-hoo!" Jay cheered.
"It's like your possession has giving his mech boosters!" Kai called in amazement as they all looked down at Zane's monitor, which revealed Cole in it, having possessed the mech.
"Boo-sters? That some sorta ghost joke?" Cole asked with a smirk.
Lydie gave a chuckle. "Glad to hear your sense of humor hasn't changed, Cole!" She said as she then fired a grapple up the mountain and pulled herself up to the next level of the mountain. "Okay, I'm gonna send my grapple down to pull you guys up!" She called out.
"No need, Captain! I got this!" Cole shouted as he made Zane's mech latch onto the wall, much to their amazement.
"Whoa, Cole, you've transformed into a Spider Mech!" Kai exclaimed in excitement.
"You know, this ghost thing isn't that bad after all," Cole said happily as they kept scaling the mountain.
At the Bounty, the others are watching in amazement when they see Zane's mech climbing the mountain to catch up with Lydie's. "How are they going that fast?" Ronin questioned in surprise.
"Cole," Seliel said with a proud smile, "He's found his second wind." She told them.
"Well, they're cutting it close," Ronin said with a concerned frown. "The Blind Man's Eye will be touching down shortly."
"At the rate they're going, I think they'll get there." Demir said with a smirk.
Meanwhile, Morro and the ghosts were treading carefully on an edge of a cliff before they saw something up ahead. It was revealed to be a temple at the side of the mountain. "The Hanging Temple. The summit isn't far," Morro said before Bansha noticed something below them.
"Impossible," Bansha said as she pointed down, which they followed before they saw the Ninja in Frost's mech heading towards them as Morro growled in frustration.
"You said you got rid of them!" Morro yelled at Bansha.
"I wiped them off the face of the mountain!" Bansha stated as they saw the Ninja closing in.
"Clearly you didn't wipe hard enough," Morro retorted before he looked at the mech, jumping off it. "This mech is slowing me down. I'll go the rest of the way on my own on foot." He said as he started walking off.
"But Morro, the Winds this high are unnatural!" Soul Archer stated.
"I am the Master of Wind!" Morro retorted stubbornly. "You three make sure to prevent the Ninja from getting to the top!" He ordered.
Bansha growled in frustration, "Eversince the Preeminent entrusted him with this mission, he's treated us like the lessor spectors!" She spat.
"Patience Bansha, once he has led us to the Tomb and freed our master, we will no longer need to follow his command," Soul Archer told her, "Or anything from him in that matter,"
With the Ninja, they are still scaling the mountain before they saw the temple above them. "The Hanging Temple. We're not far," Lydie said to them.
"Ghoul-Tar fight!" Ghoul-Tar exclaimed as Soul Archer aimed his bow and fired his arrow at the Ninja.
Jay looked up as he gasped. "Incoming!" he yelled as the arrow managed to hit Kai on the chest as he gave a yell.
"KAI!" They all exclaimed in worry.
"No! No, no, no," Jay muttered, but Kai got up and saw that he was unharmed and unchanged as he sighed in relief.
"The armor really works," Kai said in relief. "I didn't turn into a ghost."
"Thank you, Uncle." Lydie said before Nya's mech, with Ghoul-Tar in it, came into view and fired grapples on the two mechs and pulled them up, "Hey, that belongs to my best friend!" She told the ghost.
"It's Ghoul-Tar now!" Ghoul-Tar yelled as he tossed the two Mechs away.
Cole turned and saw Morro running across the bridge. "Morro's getting away!" He called before Bansha blocked him.
"And you're not!" Bansha said as she gave another shriek, which made the Ninja cover their ears before they all avoided the icicles from the lines.
"So it was you who made that shriek we heard," Lydie said with a glare as Kai drew his Areoblade.
"Who's ready for some exercise, 'cause we're about to do some exorcism," Kai quipped.
"Now that is a ghost joke," Cole commented as Ghoul-Tar moved the mech forward to them.
"Ghoul-Tar chop!" Ghoul-Tar yelled, but before he could do anything, Zane came in and started fighting Ghoul-Tar.
"The Blind Man's Eye!" Lydie shouted as they saw the swirling vortex moving closer to the peak. "We can't let Morro jump through it before or without us!" She called as she saw Kai clashing blades with Bansha.
"Don't think we're not trying!" Kai shouted as he kept clashing blades.
Jay was about to help, but then a ghost arrow missed him. "Somebody almost got shot here! Where's the archer!?" He exclaimed as Cole looked up.
"On the rooftop!" Cole answered as he pointed above as Jay turned to see the Soul Archer aiming his arrow at Jay. The Lightning Ninja quickly drew his Areoblade and threw it at the Soul Archer, who dodged it.
Kai is fighting Bansha as the ghost witch managed to stab the floor, causing it to break as Kai was about to fall. "Kai, think fast!" Jay called as he threw his blade to the wall, which Kai quickly held onto before the floor broke completely as Bansha charged at him, which he quickly dodged as he held two blades.
"We have to figure out how to get rid of these windbags before it's too late!" Kai exclaimed before wailing sounds could be heard as a strong gust of wind started blowing.
"Oh! Speaking of wind!" Jay called out as he drew his blade down. "Anchor down!" He yelled as they all tried to hang on, but the wind was blowing them away as they held onto Zane's mech again as Lydie clamped her mech down as she grabbed hold of Zane's ice mech. "Now I feel like a windbag!"
"Hang on!" Lydie called as she held onto the others.
Near the top of the mountain, Morro was fighting the wind as he tried to use his powers to stop it. "Stop it! It's me that controls the wind!" He called as he struggled to fight it. "STOP!" He yelled as he put more strength in his powers as the wind finally ceased as he sighed in relief. "That's better. I really should've found my True Potential a long time ago, if only I could figure what's holding me back." He said to himself as he continued climbing.
Back on the Hanging Temple, the wind gust died down, "I wanna get off this stupid mountain I hate heights!"
"Lydie, get this tin can back on its feet!" Jay called out.
"On it!" Lydie said as she pulled Zane's Ice Mech up and brought it to its feet. But the Ghoul-Tar laughed as he came over to them as he grabbed the two mechs as Jay, Cole, and Kai got off Zane's while Ghoul-Tar fought with Lydie and Zane's.
Jay looked around. "Now where did the Archer go?"
Behind you!" Kai pointed behind him as they saw Soul Archer firing another arrow, which they quickly dodged as the archer ready another arrow. Jay quickly drew his blade and threw it at Soul Archer, which caused him to stumble back and yell as he fell.
"Ha, ha. I got him! I got him!" Jay cheered, but then he saw his Areoblade continue spinning until it was out of sight as he groaned. "Argh! And I lost it."
"Forget it, we have to get to the summit before the Blind Man's Eye passes," Lydie told them.
"She's right! We have to get out of here!" Kai said as the three rushed off while Lydie and Zane continued to fight Ghoul-Tar as he laughed.
"Ghoul-Tar never let you leave!" Ghoul-Tar called with a smirk as Lydie and Zane looked at each other as they pressed a button, causing some cables to latch around Ghoul-Tar, which confused him as he turned to the two Ninja.
"Then it's off the plank for you!" Zane yelled as he pressed a button as he and Lydie jumped off their mechs as Zane's Titan Mech took to the air along with Ghoul-Tar as he screamed and rolled down the mountain in a huge snowball.
"Have a nice trip!" Lydie waved with a smirk.
Bansha and Soul Archer looked down and saw the Ninja escaping. "They're getting away!" Bansha exclaimed.
"We'll see about that," Soul Archer said as he drew his arrow and fired it at the Ninja, which Frost saw as he quickly dodged it. But the arrow hit the bridge, causing it to be possessed as he gasped and rushed off.
"RRRRUUUNNN!" Zane yelled to the others as they turned and saw the bridge becoming possessed as they ran faster with screams before they made it to the other side before the bridge was completely ghosted.
"Come on, there's no time to lose," Lydie said as they continued onward.
Back at the peak of the mountain, Morro continued to climb the icicles to the top before he looked down and saw the Ninja close to him as he growled in frustration. "Ah! There he is! We're still in this race!" Jay called.
"Then let's keep climbing!" Lydie said as they climbed up the mountain, but Morro kicked a big icicle down, but Cole and Kai drew their blades as they smashed it and protected Jay.
"We can do this. We're almost there!" Kai encouraged them as they kept climbing. Jay slipped as he nearly fell before Cole grabbed his hand.
"Concentrate. We got this," Cole said to her as he pushed Jay back up as he held onto the icicle.
Jay saw his Areoblade next to him. "Hey! I knew it'd come back to me!" He happily called as he took his blade out of the icicle.
"We're gonna miss the Blind Man's Eye!" Lydie exclaimed as they saw the vortex getting close to the peek.
"Oh, no, all this way for nothing," Jay said in despair as another Wind gust started blowing, which made Morro slip before he tightened his grip, knowing he couldn't use his powers this time, while the Ninja did the same.
"We'll never make it in time!" Zane called to them.
"We will if we do one thing," Lydie said with determination as they all know what he's thinking.
"Cyclondo!" Jay called in realization.
"But I never practiced it!" Cole pointed out in worry. "What if I don't make it?! What if I just blow off the mountain?!"
"Just trust us!" Lydie said before she jumped off her icicle and then did her Airjitzu which was colored purple and flew passed the boys and Morro and landed on the peak, "I did it! I did Airjitzu!" She cheered before looking down, "Okay boys, your turn!"
Kai, Zane, and Jay then jumped over as they did Airjitzu, which Kai was red, Zane was white, and Jay was blue. "Now it's your turn!" Kai shouted to Cole as they flew up towards Lydie and landed in the peak.
"I made it! I Cyclondo'd!" Jay cheered.
"Yar! What about Cole?" Zane asked before they looked over the edge to see him still holding on to the icicles.
"You can do it, Cole!" Kai encouraged him. "We'll catch you! Remember, Family sharpens Family!"
"The only thing sharp here is this icicle that I'm holding on to!" Cole shouted back as he clutched the icicle harder.
"Come on, Cole! You're the strong one!" Kai encouraged him. "Even Jay can do it!" To that remark, the Lightning Ninja felt insulted.
"Oh, thank you very much, Fireboy," Jay said sarcastically.
"Cole, just jump!" Lydie called out.
Cole clutched the icicle hard as he looked down before looking up. "What if I can't grab hold of your hand?! I'll fall and die!"
"No, you won't!" Lydie shouted. "You're a ghost now, and ghosts can't die!"
"Ghost can't die," Cole repeated. "Ghost can't die! I'll do it!" He finally let go of the icicle and performed Airjitzu, which color is brown. He flew past Morro and to the top before landing on top of the others.
"Oh! We did it!" Jay cheered as they looked up.
"Look! The Blind Man's Eye!" Kai exclaimed as the vortex was right above them.
"We've got one shot," Zane reminded them as they stood up.
"Then let's make it count," Lydie declared.
"Family sharpens Family," Cole recited as they all looked at the vortex and got into ready position.
Morro managed to reach the top before he saw the Ninja doing Airjitzu. "Cyclondo!" Jay exclaimed as they flew up.
"No!" Morro cried as he reached his hand out to them as the Ninja flew up to Blind Man's Eye and disappeared into the vortex. "No! NNOOOO!" He yelled out as the vortex shrank and went further up, showing that he missed the jump.
Back at the Hanging Temple, Soul Archer and Bansha heard Morro's yell and knew what that meant, "Pah, he missed it," Soul Archer said unimpressed.
"There will be other opportunities." Bansha assured him before she realized that one ghost was missing. "But where's Ghoul-Tar?" She questioned.
Back at the Bounty, the group kept monitoring the Ninja's position as a red dot just vanished from the peak of the mountain. "Their beacons. What happened? Where did they go?" Nya said in worry.
"They made it." Wu said with a smile. "They've crossed over to the Cloud Kingdom." He said as they all cheered, but then Nya saw a giant snowball go down right past them, which caused everyone to stop cheering.
"What was that?" Ronin questioned as they looked out and saw Ghoul-Tar exiting Nya's mech, which returned to normal the second he left as Ghoul-Tar moved around in dizziness.
"It's a…" Rose stammered.
"Ghost." Demir said with a serious look as Ronin went down on deck.
Ghoul-Tar just regained his bearings before he was trapped in a Deepstone cage. "Fresh catch of the day." Ronin said with a smirk.
"Bring him aboard. I want answers." Wu demanded as Nya and Seliel looked at the mountain where the Blind Man's Eye is still above, hoping the others made it okay.
Lydie and the other Ninja slowly opened their eyes as they could no longer feel the cold air blowing on their faces. "Did we make it?" She asked the others as they all groaned while they sat up on a cloud. They took off their hoods before they saw multiple floating buildings out in the distance.
"The Cloud Kingdom," Cole gasped as they reached their destination before they stood up.
"Now, let's find that Sword of Sanctuary," Jay said before they walk towards the kingdom for the next clue to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master.
