I whip out my bow and nock an arrow, tracking the skeleton as it ducks and weaves through the chaos. My jaw tightens as I fire again, but the bony figure twists out of the way with eerie precision. Frustrated, I close the distance and deliver a swift kick, sending it clattering to the ground—only for four more skeletons to drop from the ceiling, their weapons raised and clinking menacingly.

My eyes snap to the teapot handle on the wall. Without hesitation, I lunge forward, twisting it with all my strength. The mechanism groans, gears grinding, and the blue panel flips to red, revealing a burst of crimson energy.

"Ninja, go!" Kai's voice booms as he leaps out, spinning into a fiery whirlwind. His Spinjitzu engulfs the skeletons, scattering bones and weapons like falling debris.

One skeleton tumbles down the ramp, landing near Zane, who stretches his arms with unsettling calm, as though warming up for a workout. With precision and speed, he strikes, shattering the skeleton into fragments that skitter across the floor.

A fresh wave of skeletons barrels down the hall, their bony footsteps echoing like a drumbeat. Before they can reach us, Cole phases through the wall in a wisp of shadowy energy. The sight freezes the skeletons in their tracks, giving Zane just enough time to summon a towering barrier of ice. With a single punch, he sends the frozen wall crashing into them, shattering them into lifeless pieces.

Kai, Jay, and I come sliding down the ramp, the wind rushing past as we whoop in excitement. Adrenaline pumps through my veins as we line up together, shoulder to shoulder, ready for the next threat.

Cole steps forward, slamming his fists into the ground with a thunderous crack. The floor ripples like a shockwave, sending the remaining skeletons flying into the walls with bone-crunching force.

The wall behind us suddenly explodes in a deafening blast, showering the room with debris. Samukai storms in, his four arms swinging with relentless power. His roar shakes the room as he charges, his massive form unstoppable.

A radiant green light pierces the dust and chaos, stopping Samukai mid-charge. The Green Ninja descends in a blaze of emerald energy, landing a devastating punch into the skeletal warlord's chest. The force of the blow sends Samukai staggering backward, his growls turning to groans.

"Do you have the Golden Scroll, Lloyd?" Kai asks as we regroup, the tension still thick in the air.

"I sure do!" Lloyd replies, holding up the glowing artifact with a triumphant grin. "But I can't read a word of this thing. Anyone here fluent in ancient scroll?"

I step forward with a smirk. "Don't worry, we've got this. Because reading is the first step to every adventure!"

All of us join in unison, shouting with exaggerated enthusiasm: "Go, reading, go!"

The lights flicker off, leaving us in sudden darkness.

"And... cut! Brilliance plus perfection!" Dareth's voice booms from the shadows. The lights flicker back on, revealing him clapping dramatically. "All right, little fellas, let's clean up and make some headway here!" He claps his hands again. "That's a wrap!"

"A wrap? I just got here," Nya says, striding onto the set with an arched brow.

Dareth ignores her, bounding over to us with arms wide open. "Hey, there are my boys! I knew you could Spinjitzu, but that acting? Wow! Knocked me clean out!" He drags us into a group hug as I groan, rubbing my temples.
