.....Nova might have snapped but just a little.
____________________________________________________________
*The ninja and Nova approach the gates of Cloud Kingdom.*
"Welcome to Cloud Kingdom. We've been expecting you." said Fenwick.
"Ha, how are we-"
"Standing on a cloud? Easy. In other Realms, there are other rules. I'm Fenwick. I've been asked to show you around." Fenwick told them.
Nova had slowly come out of Jay's shadow, but was still a little shy after that interaction with Morro so didn't say much.
"Nice to meet you. I'm-"
"Kai, yes, we all know. You're quite popular with the other monks. Up here, we see everything that goes on in Ninjago." said Fenwick.
"Then you know-"
"You've traveled far for the Sword of Sanctuary, a powerful weapon that can foresee your opponent's next attack. It's also the second clue to finding the Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master." said Fenwick.
Zane in a pirate accent. "Blimey. But how be you-"
"Finishing your sentences? I know, it's rather annoying, but up here we know, let's just say...we know what's going to come next. Come, I know Morro isn't far behind. Follow me and I'll explain." [robotic] said Fenwick and Nova in unison causing everyone to turn around to look at her in surprise.
"How did you-"
"Know what he would say, simple. I can see a bit into the future." [robotic] said Nova with a shrug though, sending a silent glare at Fenwick.
"And you are only telling us this now!?" shouted Jay.
"Well yeah, might as well." [robotic] said Nova.
"That explains how you were able to know what everyone was gonna say the other times." said Cole.
"Yeah, it was pretty funny watching you guys reaction." [robotic] said Nova with a soft giggle.
"Then wouldn't that mean you also knew about Morro, and everything else that has happened so far and forward?" Kai asked with a glare.
"Hey! Just because I know some parts, doesn't mean I can foresee everything, and besides. Knowledge is power and shouldn't be misused." [robotic] said Nova crossing her arms.
*The ninja, Nova and Fenwick walk into the library, where the monks are writing on scrolls.*
"Wow, it's the ninja...and the shadow." said a monk.
"I know you're familiar with a few of the realms. Cloud Kingdom is just one more of the Sixteen Realms that exist parallel to Ninjago." said Fenwrick.
"Sixteen Realms?" Kai asked.
"In this realm, we strive for greater understanding and let go of distractions. There is no television, no video games-"
"No video games? Hmmph. Not impressed." said Jay.
Zane in a pirate accent. "It appears all any lad does here be writing."
"That is because here, our words matter. You see, in Cloud Kingdom, we are the Writers of Destiny. It was here that it was decided that Lloyd should be the Green Ninja. And just now, that Zane should find his voice again." said Fenwick.
"I sense my vocal pattern has returned without any repairs." said Zane now back to normal.
"Ugh! He doesn't talk like a pirate anymore." said Jay.
"How'd that happen?" Cole asked.
"It was written." said Fenwick.
"...What about me? I can't foresee my own future." [robotic] said Nova.
"Your destiny we can't really say, as it is undecided." said Fenwick.
Nova glared at him, not finding this very helpful for her. "I do not like mine being undecided."
"Hey, guys, he's writing about Dareth!" Jay accidentally spills ink on the scroll.
*Dareth whistles and honks the Prototype X-1's horns to get the attention of a nearby driver. "Hey, what up?" He runs into a cement truck, spilling cement on him.*
"Oh, poor Dareth!" Jay nervously laughs.
"If you know what's going to happen next, then you know how important it is for us to get the Sword of Sanctuary." said Kai.
"Yes, and I know you made a promise to save your friend Lloyd. Sadly, we cannot ensure promises, because we aren't allowed to choose sides." Fenwick whispering. "And no one else will tell you this, but we had intended for Morro to stay in the Cursed Realm."
"What do you mean "intended?" Cole asked.
"He was never supposed to escape. He somehow defied destiny. And now we're playing catch up." To Cole "Do you think we wanted you to become a Ghost? That's preposterous. Ever since Morro broke free, things have been happening outside of our control. To be honest, we don't know how this will end."
"Then quit talking and give us the sword. We'll find the tomb and stop Morro." said Kai.
"Look, we wanted to give it to you, but first, the Master Writer wants to see you." said Fenwick.
"Fine, then show us to this "Master Writer." said Kai.
Nova narrowed her eyes at Fenwick before slowly going into the shadows. "Yeah, I'm not gonna fall for that, while the ninja are busy with their little problem. I'm gonna take care of mine."
*Nova stayed in the shadows until the ghosts finally showed up.*
"Master Writer! Master Writer! It's the ninja! They're in terrible trouble!" said Nobu.
"Of course they are." Nobu sees the ghosts. "Do not be shy, our new guests and I have made a mutual arrangement. My destiny is secure. I am afraid the ninja's are not." said Fenwick,
"Where did you send the ninja?" Nobu asked.
"I locked them away with Nimbus. I am sure Nimbus will love his new playthings." said Fenwick.
"Now show me to the Sword of Sanctuary." said Morro.
Nova summoned three of her shadow clones, and they jumped out from the shadows attacking them. "Over my dead body asshole!" [robotic] She shouted as she used Spinjitzu on Morro, knocking him back while her clones took care of the other ghosts.
Morro fell to the ground from the surprise attack from Nova, but quickly got up and dodged her next attack. "Awww did you miss me so much that you came to say hi yourself, my little breeze."
Nova growled at him. [robotic] "In your motherfucking dreams, Morro!" She summoned her sword and tried to strike him, but he was quicker as he used his wind to blow her back.
She quickly turned her sword into a whip using it to wrap around him, before then pulling him towards her as she summoned one of her daggers and tried to stab him. But was caught off guard when he switched places with Lloyd. "D-Delta don't!?" He shouted in a panic.
Not seeing this coming Nova quickly unsummoned her weapons not wanting to hurt Lloyd, but by doing that, Morro got the upper hand as he switched back control. And punched her in the guts, sending her flying against the ground.
Nova was coughing, hardly trying to catch her breath after that punch. She tried getting up slowly while holding her stomach. "That was a dirty trick *pants* fuck this s̷̡̧̤̘̱̝͑̓͆̑t̸̨͇̘̮̔̅͗̑̆͝ͅo̴͈͚͔̔͑̊̿͝͠r̴̬͊̿͝y̸͚̓̆́̊͝l̷̟̖̤̾̄͐̽͛í̴̭͎̲̀̌͘ͅn̶̺̠̹̊́̇̾̕ë̴̠͇̪͇͈ͅ.

[r̵̬̻̯̪̄̉̓ͅo̶̜̜͊̿̒̀͜b̶̢̬̗̬̦̽̀̀͒̈́̀o̵̡͚̣̗̭̅͂̔t̵̡̝͗͊̅͊i̷͈͌̆̿͘ĉ̴͖̜̘̉͒̿̚͝] She growled angrily as she was glowing dark purple.
Morro and everyone else was getting an eerie feeling from Nova, as smoke of darkness was slowly coming from her.
"You fools! If the shadow isn't stopped, it will destroy all of us. Along with the other realms!" shouted Fenwick in horror.
"What do you think I'm doing you asshole!" shouted Morro while keeping an eye on Nova, who was slowly walking towards them. Her shadow clones were growing more powerful and reckless, from the darkness coming from her.
Nova was letting out a crazy, menacing laugh as more of her hair was turning purple, while she was walking towards them. "You think you can stop me? The very being made from the Overlord himself HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! don't make me fucking laugh! LOOKING DOWN ON ME IS LIKE LOOKING DOWN ON MY C̴̤̝̻͚͋̂̒͠R̸̲̂̀̌̌̉Ě̸͔̖̞̐Ả̵̮͍͕̰̥͙͛̈́̃͠T̵̨̛̥̮̀̈́ͅO̸̺̠̖͖͛͐̀̃̀̄͜R̸̮̀̕͠!!!!" She shouted breaking through her voice changer for a moment.
"The shadow has gone mad!? Someone do something NOW!!!!" shouted Fenwick in complete terror.
Morro took a step back, actually getting a bit scared, until he felt Lloyd fighting against control again. But it didn't take him as much trouble as the other times which was a good thing.
"Delta! Please don't! Snap out of it!" shouted Lloyd looking at her in concern, and for a moment, Nova stopped in her steps, and looked at him. In a creepy way as the screen of her mask kept glitching.
"The real you would never hurt anyone, yet alone acknowledges the Overlord, as your creator. Please Delta, don't do something you'll regret later on." Lloyd looked at her with pleading eyes, he didn't want to see her like this.
Nova kept looking at him and for a moment everything just stood still to her, she looked down at her hands seeing that her claws had broken free of her gloves. And then back up at Lloyd, taking in what he was saying as the smoke of darkness slowly went away. "Lloyd....." she said in a low whisper no one caught as she fell over and into the shadows, along with her clones. Before anyone could do anything else she was gone.
*Jumping to a little later where the ninja are following Morro.*
"Look! There!" shouted Kai.
"Hold on to your buckets, gang. Looks like the ride ain't over yet!" They go through the eye.
"Ah! Why aren't we flying anymore!?" They catch up to Morro.
"Aha! Got you now!" said Kai.
"You really think so?" Morro blows them in another direction.
"Obstacle detected. Collision certainty: 100 percent." said Pixal.
"Abandon ship!" The ninja used the debris as skis. "Ah! Haha. Hello, haven't we met before?" said Zane.
"Don't they ever quit?" said Morro, annoyed.
"Your ride is kind of slow, huh?" Kai runs into a tree.
Jay riding in the front part of the skiff. "Oh, why do I get the uncontrollable sled!?"
"Hold on, Jay." said Cole.
Soul Archer aims an arrow at him but Jay dodges. "Haha, missed!"
"I never miss." said Soul Archer.
Jay screams as the arrow chases him, but quickly is pulled away as it collides with a log instead. "Phew. Hahaha." he said before looking at what had pulled him, until he noticed the movement in his shadow.
"Delta! Thank the First Spinjitzu Master for that save, and that you are okay!" Jay said, smiling.
Nova, still hiding in his shadow, simply gave him a thumbs up before pulling back into the shadows not saying a word.
Kai on the intercom. "Come in, Bounty! Come in! Hope your jets aren't cold, 'cause we're coming in hot!"
"The ninja. Everyone to your stations." said Wu as Misako drops the potstickers and the keys.
"Morro has the Sword of Sanctuary." said Misako.
"We know what Morro wants with the tomb. He's after a crystal that can unleash the Preeminent to curse the Sixteen Realms." said Kai.
"Then we must work together to make sure that doesn't happen. Nya, get us into the action." said Wu.
"You heard what he said." said Nya.
"Why do you all run toward the action? We should be running away." said Ronin.
Nya on the water balloon cannon. "Let's see how you like these water balloons." The ghosts dodge it and it hits Jay instead.
"Hey! Watch it!" said Jay.
"Sorry!" Nya reloads the cannon, Ghoultar attacks her and Soul Archer aims an arrow at her. Ronin uses his Aeroblade to deflect the arrow before it hits her. "Good job, Ronin. But who's flying the ship?"
"That would be me, I guess." said Ronin.
*Ghoultar jumps off and lands on the ghost skiff, weighing it down.*
"You big oaf. How are you slowing us down? You're a ghost!" said Morro.
"Ghoultar likes Puffy Potstickers." said Ghoultar.
Wu on the Bounty's anchor. "Need a lift?" Everyone but Kai climbs on.
"Go! I can catch them." said Kai.
Morro sees Kai using his Aeroblade on the Sword. "Watch out!" Kai damages their mast. "You again."
"You say that as if it's a bad thing." Kai hangs on to their sail and gets on the skiff.
"Oh, I've lost sight of Kai." said Jay.
"Keep following them." said Wu.
"I guess both our fates are tested. The thing is, I already know how mine will end." Morro disarms Kai. "And now I know how yours will." He raises his sword.
"You'd fight someone unarmed?" Kai asked.
Morro hesitates. "That's a good question. Yes!" Just as he's about to strike, Lloyd stops him.
"Take the sword, Kai! I can't hold him much longer!" said Lloyd.
"Lloyd?" Kai grabs the sword and Aeroblade. "You can fight him, Lloyd. You're stronger than he is. Just fight him. Lloyd! Fight him." Morro regains possession and attacks him. "Hate to spoil this next, but just 'cause you're in my friend's body, watch out!" He kicks him. "I think you're going down. Right..." Kai uses Airjitzu and the skiff falls off the cliff "...now! Sorry, Lloyd." Kai goes back to the Bounty and everyone but Nova cheers.
"You got the sword, but how?" Wu asked.
"How else? Working together. Lloyd fought Morro like a true hero." said Kai.
"If Morro defied destiny, then why not us?" asked Jay.
"He may have gotten Airjitzu first-"
"Uh-uh, you mean Cyclondo?" said Jay, cutting Zane off.
Zane simply sighs.
"But we got the sword!" Everyone but Nova cheers.
"Now all we have to do is find the tomb, then it's smooth sailing." said Wu.
"But who here knows where the tomb is?" Ronin asked.
"Oh, man." said Cole.
"Come on, you all seemed so confident!" said Ronin.
"Ugh, you ruin everything!" said Nya.
Ronin rolled his eyes until he noticed a shadow moving away from everyone else and inside the bounty, so he decided to follow it to what seemed like someone's room once.
Nova had moved into her old bedroom to be alone as she let out a small sigh, until she heard the door open and saw Ronin walk in closing the door behind him.
"Okay shrimp, why so upset?" Ronin asked, crossing his arms.
Nova turned off her mask so he could see tears running down her now oni like face. "I lost control again...I would have k-killed someone, if Lloyd hadn't stopped me in time." She told him sitting on an old bed, pulling her legs up and hiding her face against her knees.
Ronin looked at her a little concerned before walking over and sitting down beside her patting her back.
Nova turned her head, hiding it now against his shoulder as she was quietly crying.
"....It's gonna be alright Nova, I'm sure we can find something to help after all of this crazy ghost shit is over." said Ronin, patting her head.
".....I'm not a safe person to be around *sob*.....the more I change the more I lose myself *sob*.....I'm scared, Ronin." said Nova while still crying.
Ronin simply patted her head while wrapping an arm around her, not saying anything else while trying to comfort her. Even though he still wasn't very good at it.
"Don't lose hope kid, we'll figure something out." Ronin watched the door, making sure no one was listening.
Nova wrapped her arms around Ronin, hugging him tightly and kept crying into his shoulder. Shaking like a leaf but couldn't get herself to say anything else at this state.
