"Welcome to Stiix. Watch your step." A fishermen tells the Ninja as he suddenly pulls in a fish. "Oh, I caught one. It's a big fella. Ugh, whoa. Whoa!" he yelps as he's pulled into the Endless Sea. "Ugh. Dagnabbit." He surfaces from the cold water, shivering.

The ninja watch as Kai sits down nervously.

"I didn't know you were afraid of heights." Jay frowns, watching as Kai swallow hard, looking at the water nervously.

Kai shakes his head. "I'm fine with heights. It's water I hate." he spared a glance at the sea, frowning.

"Didn't seem to have a problem before." Zane points out as they start walking towards the town.

Kai sighs."Before I could make a Fire Dragon at will. Since Morro's taken over Lloyd and our powers gone, I haven't felt—Aagh!" A plank breaks under him but Cole pulls him up.

Cole gave him a look. "Well, now that we know ghosts don't like water either, at least we should feel safe surrounded by it."

Jay scrunchs his nose up as they arrive. "Ugh, what a dump. You'd think the thief who stole the Scroll of Airjitzu would have better taste." He looks around the village on water.

"Uh, this is Ronin we're talking about." Cole says. "He'd steal the sea if it were worth anything. We just have to figure out which rock he's under and get to the Scroll before Morro does." He nods firmly.

Zane looks at them. "Let's split up and start looking."

The ninja arrive at a pawn shop and start looking.

Cole blinks as they look around, picking up a trophy. "Wait minute, this is my dad's Blade Cup trophy. What's it doing in a pawn shop?" He asks with furrowed brows.

Kai raised an eyebrow, not impressed. He looks around the old store. "Selling stolen goods? Ha, sounds like we might have stumbled on the right place." He chuckled.

Ronin whistles as he, carrying a vase, enters his shop.

Jay narrowed his eyes. "Ronin." He states, crossing his arms.

Ronin blinks. "Huh?"

Jay cocked an eyebrow. "Going so soon?" He says in a taunting voice.

Ronin laughs nervously, backing up. "If this is about our last encounter, it was only business." He gives them a rogish grin.

Kai glares at him. "You left us in the mouth of a—" He growls.

Ronin nods. "So you're still upset. Let me make it up to you." He puts his vase down and pushes a button. "Aha!" The Vengestone net trap fails. "Uh, that was a mistake. I can explain that." He shakes his head.

Cole grunts. "Argh, nothing here is legit, including you." He scowls, shaking his head.

Jay nods."Yeah. I bet your airship's not far either. What do you call it again? Rylo? Ruby?" He raised an eyebrow.
