《Ninjago: the Daughter of the Overlord》Chapter 18: Grave Danger
Advertisement
A week had passed before Aria got another call from Cole.
"Morro's heading to the tomb of the first spinjitzu master, we need help!" Cole shouts into the phone
"Again, I don't help ninja" Aria replies flipping the page of her book
"You have to catch the ghosts anyway!" Cole argues "Aria if Morro gets the realm crystal who knows what he'll do! Get your lazy ass out of your castle and get to the tomb!"
"Geez" Aria closes her book "calm down rocky, I'm comin"
"I'm sending you the correct coordinates now, me and the ninja will be arriving there in Rex soon" Cole tells her
"Rex? Ronin's vehicle?" Aria asks confused
"it's a long story and a lot of things happened" Cole says "I'm not even going to ask how you know Ronin, I gotta go, get here soon"
Cole hangs up and a minute later Aria was sent the coordinates to the tomb. After traveling through the endless sea she soon arrives at the tomb's entrance. She walks up to a statue of the the first spinjitzu master.
"You old fool" Aria mutters before bowing in respect, she looks up at at the statue "even I the new proud Overlord feel the need to bow before you"
Aria walks forward and opens the door to the first room. She enters as the door closes behind her, their were different doors around her with different symbols. Aria looks at her phone, Cole had sent her the clues for the tombs puzzles.
"A Spinjitzu Master can. A Spinjitzu Master cannot. To move forward, don't look ahead, to find his resting spot" Aria reads
Aria stands in the middle of the room and turns around slowing taking note of all the symbols.
"So it's a zoetrope" Aria says to herself before stopping and thinking "A spinjitzu master can.. they can.. do spinjitzu. Of course cause they're the only ones that can do spinjitzu.. or should I say we're"
Aria takes a stance before turning into spinjitzu, her color was of course purple. Once the moving image was clear she stops and moves towards a door.

"this one" Aria opens the door and walks through
The door once again closes behind her and she looks around the room. On top of a ledge sat the First Spinjitzu Master's golden staff. Aria takes a step forward and a tile sinks down a bit.
"Oh no" Aria says
A dart comes from nowhere and she quickly steps back to dodge it.
"Ok ok, the second clue was..." Aria looks down "A spinjitzu master cannot" she looks up at the staff "cannot what?"
Aria moves her foot and ends up hitting another tile. A bolder comes crashing down and Aria jumps out of the way quickly. She looks down into the giant hole that was made.
"Oh my god how stupid am I?" Aria facepalms "that stupid phase they always say is A ninja never quits, the staff draws your attention and makes it seem like the objective"
Aria jumps down into the hole and travels down the slide before landing in a maze of crystals.
"Well that was.." Aria stands up and dusts off her clothes "eventful"
Aria walks through the maze and catches a glimpse of something in the crystals. She walks closer and sees an image appear of herself, but older and different.
"...is that Lloyd?" Aria places her hand against the crystal "what in the world is happening?"
Aria steps away from the crystal and continues walking, she pauses when another image appears in the next crystal.
Aria takes a step back from it and runs through the maze.
"What was that.." Aria panics "were those 2 different futures.. it can't be"
She suddenly trips and falls down a hole
"Ah!" she lands on the ground with a thud "owie"
"Aria"
Aria looks over to see Cole and the other ninja around the body of the first spinjitzu master.
"...oh look you're all here" Aria stands up and dusts herself off for like the 10th time in the past hour
"What's the Overlord doing here?" Kai asks defensively
"Oh relax spiky" Aria says walking towards them "I'm not here for you this time, I got a job to do and that's to catch some dead souls"

"Uh yeah so.. no need to panic this time" Cole says
Aria takes the realm crystal from Zane
"So uh.." Kai looks at her "How does it work?"
Aria looks at him "well it's-"
"How it works is you'll hand over the Crystal, or say goodbye to your friend" Morro speaks
The ninja look and see Morro out of Lloyd's body, holding the sword to him.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't stop him" Lloyd apologizes weakly
Aria tosses the realm crystal up and catches it "hm, or how about I come over there and banish your soul back to the cursed realm"
"wait he'll hurt Lloyd" Cole holds his arm out in front her her
"...and why would I care?" Aria asks
"uh cause he's your boyfriend" Jay says
"..." Aria turns to Cole looking angry "I thought you said you wouldn't say anything"
"I didn't.." Cole puts his arms up in defense
"To be exact we all saw you and Lloyd at the park together" Zane speaks "to our knowledge years ago you were a blonde, Lloyd just does not remember since you've reappeared with silver hair"
"Ok Aria's evil plot to seduce Lloyd aside we gotta figure out what to do right now" Kai says
"excuse me" Aria glares at him
"So what'll it be?" Morro asks from above not hearing a response from them
"just let me at him, I'll end this fast" Aria says
"it's too risky" Zane argues "but if we hand him the Crystal, he'll usher the reign of his master, cursing Ninjago and every realm"
"But if we don't, when has he never made good on a threat?" Cole questions "Look at Lloyd. He's too weak to protect himself"
"So we don't have much of an option" Aria says
"Ugh, either option totally stinks. What do you think, Kai? What do we do?" Jay asks
"Stop stalling! Give me the Realm Crystal, or else!" Morro shouts
"We're not stalling! We're thinking!" Kai shouts back, the Ninja and Aria huddle together "He's totally right, I'm stalling. What are we gonna do?"
"Ugh, this guy really chaps my hide. I swear, when this is all over..." Cole's anger made the ground tremble a bit
"Wait, Morro's out of Lloyd's body, your elemental powers are coming back" Aria points out
Jay grunts "yeah, but like Lloyd, they're weak. And we're in no position to fight back"
"wait I got an idea" Kai turns and whispers to Aria "my powers aren't strong enough quite yet but you got dark fire don't you?"
"mhm" Aria nods
"great" Kai hands her the realm crystal "heat it up and throw it to him, he won't be able to hold it if it's too hot"
"..I still don't like you" Aria begins to heat it up "but let's save Lloyd"
"Times up!" Morro shouts "You leave me no choice-"
"Wait! We'll give you the Realm Crystal!" Kai shouts turning to him
Morro laughs, Aria finishes up heating the realm crystal before throwing it. Morro catches it but drops it into a river because it was too hot.
"The Crystal! What have you done!?" Morro shouts and pushes Lloyd into the stream with wind
"Lloyd!" the ninja shout
Kai and Cole chases after Lloyd while Aria, Zane and Jay goes after Morro.
Zane freezes the Sword before Morro can stab Jay, Kai dives in and grabs Lloyd. Jay uses his Lightning, but Morro dodges and it hits Zane instead. Aria breaks apart the ground attempting to trap Morro but he dodges.
Cole pulls both Kai and Lloyd up, he sees the Crystal fall into the waterfall and so does Morro.
Morro uses his Wind to grab the Crystal.
"No!" the ninja shout
"damn it" Aria curses
Morro quickly makes his escape before the ninja all head up to the cave's exit without Aria. Aria stays back and uses her powers to clean up the tomb. She walks over to the skeleton of the first spinjitzu master and bows.
"I will take over the possession of the realm crystal when this is all over" Aria stands up straight and stares at the skeleton "so you can finally rest in peace now you old geezer"
