《Brother of Wind {book 6: Skybound}》chapter 18

Soto looked through a spyglass to see Nya pacing around in a room. Then around the area, the entire Misfortune's crew, on lookout.
"Good news is she be on top. Bad news be everybody else and their mothers be guarding below." Soto said.
"So much for the quiet entrance." Ronin sighed.
"They may know you're coming, but they haven't caught us yet. We'll get you close, you do the rest." Skylor pointed to Jay.
"Don't be noticed. The minute they see us coming, it's all over." Jay flipped on his hood, his team getting ready too.
"Ninja Replacements, go!" They jumped off their floating piece of land to grip onto the side of the main Island. They snuck their way under connecting bridges and anywhere there was a blind spot in the look out. They stacked on top of each other as a tree. It worked.
Ronin threw Aeroblades into the side of the ground to act as a hook for a better climb. And finally, they got to the main connector to the temple of Airjitzu.
"Wait for me over there." Jay pointed.
"I'll get Nya." The team split up.
Let me tell you, when Jay wants to be a Ninja, he'll be a Ninja.
Nya looked at herself in the mirror with the dress on. The white dress with golden embroidery.
"Psst. Nya."
"Jay!" Nya whisper-shouted and turned to the window.
"You came for me." She said.
"Oh, wow. You look beautiful." Jay gazed in awe.
"I'll get you out." He pulled on the window bars but they didn't open.
"Oh, man!"
"I already tried. They won't budge." Nya said.
"Do you still have the poison?" Jay asked.
"They took it. Oh, Jay, the ceremony is gonna start any moment. You didn't use your wish yet, did you?" Nya asked.
"Not yet." Jay said.
"Is Morro?--"
"I didn't see him anywhere." Nya said.
"Dang it. When you really need him he's nowhere to be found!" Jay exclaimed.
"Maybe if we both…" Jay pulled on the bars and Nya pushed. No avail.
"I don't trust anyone else. I will escort her myself." Nadakhan's voice echoed from outside.
"It's him. Hide." Nya pushed Jay back. Jay's foot got stuck on a rope and he dangled over the side.
"It is time." Nadakhan busted open the doors.
"Already?" Nya asked.
"Boy, if I had another wish, I sure would use it right about now. Now that you're in earshot." Nya raised her voice.
"Ugh. I wish Nadakhan wasn't a--" Jay tried to say. Sky pirates now spotted Jay.
"What are you looking at?" Jay shouted and flipped up to jump and fight them off

"I wish Nadakhan wasn't a Djinn! I wish Nadakhan wasn't a Djinn!" Jay shouted.
"If you won't come willingly, Nya…" Nadakhan raised his sword.
"I wish Nadakhan wasn't a Djinn!!!!!"
"...I will take you regardless." Nadakhan said.
"Wait." Nya halted. Jay kept shouting.
"Call me Delara." Nya said.
"Why the sudden change?" Nadakhan asked. Jay kept shouting.
"I never thought I'd say this, but you've proven to be the most powerful. You win. And I'd be a fool to turn my back on the man who could grant me everything I ever wished for." Nya said, literally trying to just buy time with words.
"Delara and I dreamed this moment would come, but we never had the chance to see it through." Nadakhan said.
"But now you can. In her honour. We can be powerful together." Nya said.
"Yes."
"I wish Nadakhan wasn't a--" Jay kicked some guy away.
"I wish Nadakhan wasn't a Djinn!" Jay sighed and grabbed the rope to swing closer. He hit the wall.
"I wish-- Whoa!" He fell.
"I wish Nadakhan wasn't a Djinn!" Jay's shouts were still too quiet.
"What is it, my love?" Nadakhan asked.
"How can I stand beside you if your sword is always between us?" Nya asked.
"But it is tradition for a Djinn King to be married with his blade." Nadakhan said.
"Let me be your power, not your blade. Or do you do everything your father tells you?" Nya questioned.
"You are right." Nadakhan said after a pause.
"I am my own Djinn. You alone will give me the power of infinite wishes." He set his sword down next to the window.
"Now come... Delara."
"I wish Nadakha--" Jay looked inside
"Oh, come on. Seriously?" He sighed. "Huh? The sword." Jay took it to meet up at the rendezvous.
"Don't tell me. You didn't get her." Ronin sighed.
"Does it look like she's beside me? No, but she did help me get this." Jay raised the sword.
"Now if I can only figure out how to free my friends from it." He sighed.
"There is a way." Soto said.
. . .
"Please go on. It's not like there is a wedding to stop!" Jay shouted.
"A Djinn can capture you in his Djinn Blade by tricking you to wish it all away. Or there's a simpler way: be struck by it." Soto explained.
"You're telling me we have to strike Jay with the sword? Won't that be painful?" Skylor asked.
"And how do you know that's true? You still call the Ninja 'Pajama Men'." Dareth said.

"I may not know much about Pajama Men, but I know Djinn." Soto stepped forwards.
"The hard part isn't getting captured by the blade, but getting out. There have been few who have ever escaped a Djinn entrapment, so I can't tell you what you'll find inside. But once you're there, you'll only have minutes until you fall under its enchantment and are forever trapped yourself." He tapped Jay's chest.
"Okay, thanks for the tip. I gotta work fast. So who wants to strike me down?" Jay asked. Everyone raised their hand
"Really? Am I that annoying?" Jay asked. He gave the sword to Echo.
"Okay, when I say go."
"On 'go.' Affirmative." Echo raised his arm.
"Wait!" Skylor exclaimed.
"Wait! Wait? This isn't easy, you know." Jay shouted.
"What if you don't make it out? What are we supposed to do then?" Skylor asked. Jay sighed.
"You're right. So listen carefully. If I don't return, I want you four to go--"
"Go?"
"Wait! No, no, no, no, no!"
Echo hit him.
"And that's why I should've done it." Ronin said.
Jay was now spinning in this green jade realm thing I dunno. His mission was to find the Ninja. Not that hard to spot bright coloured gis in this all green place. Except for Lloyd, I guess.
The further Jay went the more sleepy he was.
"Kai!" Look at that. Brightly coloured gi.
"Kai! Wake up!" Jay shook the jade off of Kai. The Red Ninja opened his eyes. Jay grabbed Kai and they went to find more.
. . .
"They be here! In the shack! All hands on deck!" A pirate shouted.
"Are we telling the captain?" Another asked.
"We'll tell the captain when they're our prisoners. Now come on and grab every hand and hook you can muster." The first shouted.
"Uh, guys? We have a minor problem amassing outside." Ronin closed the door.
"What kind of problem?" Skylor asked.
"Uh, like the angry pirate army kind." Dareth said.
"Protect the sword until Jay returns with the others." Echo instructed.
"I recommend grabbing your favourite tool and start defending this place." Ronin grabbed whatever was in the shed.
"A watering can? What can I do with this?" Soto asked.
"I don't know. Get creative. On my mark...go!" Ronin kicked the door open and they ran.
. . .
"Wake up!" Jay shook Zane.
"Wake up!" Kai shook Cole.
Jay spotted Morro and scoffed.
"Okay, always wanted to do this." Jay hit Morro awake.
"-Ah-" Morro opened his eyes. A small grunt could be heard.
"Lloyd!" Kai pointed.
"Oh cool, link still works." Jay grabbed Morro and pulled him.
"What is happening?" Morro asked.
"I slapped you. Wake your brother up." Jay said.
"..... What?"
"Where's Wu?" Jay went to Misako.
"The way home is almost closed!" Jay shouted. Misako pointed and Jay got to his master. Let's gooooo full team looking like they got one hour of sleep.
. . .
Now with ladders, rakes and watering cans, the second team was fighting off a hoard of pirates. Dirt, buckets and wheel barrels also worked.
"There's too many of them!" Dareth shouted.
"We have... to protect the sword! Keep fighting them off!" Echo exclaimed.
. . .
The Ninja rushed towards the exit but Clouse, yeah he exists in this, I forgot, grabbed Jay's foot.
"Aah!" Jay exclaimed. He kicked Clouse off of him and if rude gestures were allowed, Jay would throw some.
"We couldn't do it." Skylor said, holding the door closed. The sword started to glow. The shed exploded and the Ninja were on the ground.
"YES!!" Jay jumped up.
"Jay!" Everyone shouted.
"Jay, you did it." Kai said.
"And it appears you found some new friends." Zane looked at Echo.
"Wake up." Cole leaned over Morro who was still on the ground.
"No." Morro said.
"Let me sleep."
"Not gonna do that." Cole pulled Morro up.
"Morro, do you have any wishes left?" Jay asked. Morro shook his head.
"Argh!! Out of all the people, I thought you would be the one who doesn't use any!! Now you don't have any, and we only got one shot to do this and we still have to save Nya--"
"Jay." Morro said.
"It's your wish that will be said from the heart. Your wish that will save the day. Your wish that will stop Nakahan, put this back the way it was like time never passed." Morro said.
"My wishes never lead to anything good. Magic or not. She's your love, isn't she? You need to save her."
He sighed.
"You'll ask the question soon enough." Morro crossed his arms.
"What question?" Kai asked. Morro didn't respond. Cole's jaw dropped.
"Yeah, he gets it." Morro pointed.
"As if." Skylor said.
"It'll take him four seasons."
"Okay, enough about me being slow. Nadakhan's about to be more powerful than ever." Jay said.
"Do we have everyone?" Wu asked.
"Not everyone. We have one more ninja to save." Jay took the sword in his hand.
"Now who wants to crash a wedding?"
