As we arrive at Steep Wisdom, Sensei tells us we need supplies, to defeat Morro. Yeah, we know. I grasp Lloyd's hand tightly, as he looks down at me with an amused expression.
"Shouldn't we be going to Stiix? The longer we wait, the worse it'll get." Kai reasons.
"We need to stock up," Sensei replies curtly.
"On what? Magic tea that will make us invincible?" Jay gasps. "Give us special powers? Is it gonna give us four arms?" Lloyd winces slightly at the mention of 4 arms.
"Hey, it's okay," I whisper, caressing his cheek.
"Heh, thanks, princess." Lloyd smiles.
"Sadly, no magical tea today. I had to sell the rest of the merchandise along with everything else." Sensei informs.
"What? You sold your business? But that was for your retirement." Zane says.
"Ah! Hello again, Ninja." Cyrus Borg wheels out of the quaint shop.
"While we were away, I had Borg use the money from the tea farm to create us some new toys to balance the scales. They are expensive, you know." Sensei says.
"It's been so long, I hardly recognize any of you. Lloyd looks older. I see a Water Ninja. A titanium Nindroid. Cole is a...a ghost? Huh?" Borg laughs nervously." Jay looks shorter, Kaylee's a bit taller. And, and then there's Kai."
"Yeah! I knew I grew a little taller!" I cheer.
"Hey, what do you mean I look shorter?" Jay snaps.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Borg, but cut to the chase. We don't have much time." Kai interrupts.
"Yes, always the impatient one. Come, let me show you." He presses a button to bring up 3 vehicles. "If you want a little muscle with that hustle, I've made Jay a lightning-fast Ghost Taker GT. Front spectral intake, rear incorporeal storage."
"Oh, why did the Ghost cross the street? Oh, I don't know, maybe 'cause he saw me coming in that!" Jay jumps in his vehicle and rides it.
"Zane's Ice mech. Sure it appears to be the same, but I've equipped the underarms with Deepstone particle shooters, allowing you to freeze the competition."Cyrus says.
"Super cool. And I mean quite literally." Zane jumps into his mech.
"Cole, I've made you a Ghost Cycle. Twin carbine blasters, auto-evasive handling. Made entirely of Deepstone, perfectly molded to fit the, uh...bodiless. And I've set all the radio presets to your favorite: soft rock."
Cole climbs on. "I do love a slow jam." He turns on the radio. "Whoa!"
"For you Kaylee, a rope made of Deepstone." Borg tosses me a string of black rope. I stare at it, smiling, before tying it around my belt.
"And for you, Kai." He tosses Kai a red headband.
"A headband." Kai says, unamused.
"A personal embroidered headband. Thirty-two thread count, easy tie capabilities. I apologize. I lost track of the time building the other vehicles. Kaylee's rope was a last minute project. Eh, same goes for you, Lloyd. To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure you'd be making it back." Borg apologizes.
"Hey, I'm just happy to be here. We'll take any help we can get." Lloyd replies.
"I hear Morro has opened a bridge between our two realms. It'll take time for the Preeminent to cross." Borg informs.
"Which is why we need Lloyd to use his powers to destroy the Realm Crystal before that happens. If Ninjago is cursed, the other realms are sure to follow." Sensei explains.
