We use R.E.X. to traverse under the Endless Sea, as we nervously stared out into the depths. If the glass breaks, we'd be crushed by the water basically, or die before reaching the surface or something. Not to mention that Cole would be gone forever instantly.

"We're almost to the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master," Zane informs the screen, where we had established contact with Sensei, Misako, and Nya.

"Yeah. Can't believe we're almost there after all we've been through." I sigh.

"I can't believe I'm underwater," Kai mutters, staring at a school of fish passing by.

"You? What about me? Just how thick is this glass?" Cole taps the glass a couple of times.

On-screen, Sensei speaks to us. "We're heading to your location now. With Morro already ahead of you and able to foresee the traps protecting the tomb with the Sword of Sanctuary, it's going to be up to you four to find the Realm Crystal before he does."

"Hehe, Cole's a Ghost, Kai can't swim, we have no magical sword or Elemental Powers. What could go wrong?" Jay nervously laughs.

Misako appears on the screen. "I may not know the three tests you're about to face, but I discovered a riddle that makes reference to it that may help: A Spinjitzu Master can. A Spinjitzu Master cannot. To move forward, don't look ahead, to find his resting spot." 

"Huh. That's food for thought." Cole comments.

Jay sees the Leviathan and gulps. "Speaking of food, we're about to be some!"

"We have to go faster. Much faster." I command, and Cole slams the gas and we swim faster. The Leviathan catches up, however and cracks R.E.X.'s glass. 

"Why did the tomb have to be underwater?" Kai moans.

"Hold on!" Cole yells as R.E.X. shakes from the impact. 

"Ugh! What kind of weapons is this thing equipped with?" Jay asks.

"We don't need weapons. Aim for that rock!" Zane commands.

"On it." Cole nods, and goes through the rock. The Leviathan gets stuck.

"Yeah! All right! Thatta Boy, R.E.X.! Thatta boy!" Jay cheers. We soon arrive at the tomb's entrance.

"If you wanna hide a tomb, this looks like a good place. We're here." I say, looking around the dreary place, filled with gray stone. "I thought there'd be, I don't know, a little more dazzle?"

Jay picks up a cloth left behind by Morro. "Argh! There goes any hope Morro couldn't find this place."

"Hey, stay positive. We're about to risk our lives going through traps we know nothing about. All we have to rely on is each other. At least feel lucky we got this far." Kai adds.

"Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. What was I thinking?" Jay starts again, but in a sarcastic tone. "Hey, there goes any hope Morro couldn't find the tomb! We're not alone! Yay! Now we're gonna have to fight him again! Sure we got our tails handed to us last time, but you never know in the future, because Ninja never quit!" Jay turns into his normal voice. "Better?"

"Eh, I'll take it." Kai shrugs.

Zane points to a statue. "Look!"

"The First Spinjitzu Master. Creator of all Ninjago." Cole gasps.

"Whoa." Kai says.

"Destination reached. Auto return initiated." R.E.X. says.

"Auto return? No, no! Bad, R.E.X.! Bad!" Jay yells, as we chase after R.E.X., but it submerges underwater.
