The ninja and Reika chased Morro to the Wailing Alps while Aria stayed behind with her brother at the castle. When asking him for information he insisted she stayed there.

"The Wailing Alps is where the Blind Man's Eye will appear," Zero tells her "if they manage to get through they'll end up at Cloud Kingdom."

"What's Cloud Kingdom?" Aria asks

"It's where destiny is written," Zero replies "there's writers there who write out everyone's."

"Everyone's destiny?" Aria questioned as she stood up from her seat.

"Yes-" Zero turns to her "no, that's precisely why I didn't want you going. Curiosity kills the cat."

"Zero you'd jump at the chance to see your destiny," Aria argues "I wanna know."

"I already know what my destiny is," Zero sighs as he rubs his head "the less you know the better."

"I'm worried though," Aria says as she sits back down "wait, you've seen it?"

"Yes," Zero sat down in front of her "it's none of your concern though. I've seen a lot of things during my time at school."

"What kind of school would bring you to another realm?" Aria questions suspiciously

"Hey, focus on saving your boyfriend," Zero says

"You left me as a child to go to some school and you won't even tell me about it?" Aria argues

"Enough!" Zero snaps, Aria looked hurt and he sighs "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. It's just not something you should be concerned about. Lloyd is in danger."

"I know," Aria drops the subject "but what do I do?"

"You're one of the smartest people I know sis," Zero says "A Spinjitzu Master can. A Spinjitzu Master cannot. To move forward, don't look ahead, to find his resting spot. That's the riddle."

"How do you know the riddle?" Aria questions

"Do you want to play a hundred questions or do you wanna save your boyfriend?" Zero asks looking annoyed.

"Zane's the smart one," Aria replies "I'm trying to figure out a hundred things at once."

"Well," Zero looks around before leaning towards her and whispered "I hate to suggest this, but if Morro remembers you, act like you do too. Like what I suggested with Ronin."

"He already sees me as an enemy though," Aria says confused "Even if I pretend I'm on his side now he'll only be suspicious."

"Well acting isn't all you can do, you can look the part too" Zero smiles  "Morro's looking for his silver haired, purple eyed, ex-girlfriend Aria, so we'll give her to him."

"Heh, I like what you've done with the place." Ronin walked into the room "Pretty gusty making your hideout right here in Stiix. With this much water, they'd never come looking for you here."

"I've never been afraid of anything." Morro replies as Ghoultar takes the sword from Ronin

Ghoultar examines the sword "The sword is no fake."

"Huh" Morro takes the sword "For once, the crook makes good" he stabs the sword on the map "Ha! The Tomb of the First Spinjitzu Master."

"Now what about my soul?" Ronin asks "The deal was you'd remove the curse and free me."

"You can have your soul, but the deal has changed." Morro tells him "I want the ninja too."

"Whoa, now hold on" Ronin takes a step back "A deal's a deal but what so you care about the ninja? I thought you said you weren't afraid of them."

"I'm not." Morro smirks "But our Preeminent requires certain... safeguards."

The Ghosts laugh.

"Forget it. I'll keep my cursed soul." Ronin turns to walk away "The sword's one thing but my friends are another."

"Since when do you have friends?" Bansha comments and everyone laughs at him again

"Where do you think you're going?" Morro grabs him "We still have a need for you. The Realm Crystal will be mine."

"Starting the party without me again Morro?"

Morro and the ghosts turn to see Aria and their jaws drop.

"Now," Morro smirks "that's my Aria."
