(On the summit of the Wailing Alps, Morro tells Bansha and Soul Archer that they need to get to Cloud Kingdom.)

Morro: Ugh, those cursed ninja. I need to get to Cloud Kingdom now!

Soul Archer: Patience, Morro. Wanting to get to the Cloud Kingdom will not bring its portal any closer.

Morro: But I hate waiting. It's beneath me. If the ninja get the sword before we do, they'll have the upper hand.

Soul Archer: I've never known you to worry.

Morro: It's this incessant boy trying to break free of my possession. And if we even get the sword we still need the girl's help. (Grunts.)

Bansha: You will not have to wait any longer, Morro, and we will get her.

Soul Archer: But how? The gateway won't pass for hours.

Bansha: Let's just say I'm in contact with someone willing to leave the back door open.

(The ninja approach the gates of Cloud Kingdom.)

Fenwick: Welcome to Cloud Kingdom. We've been expecting you.

Jay: How are we—

Fenwick: Standing on a cloud? Easy. In other realms, there are other rules. I'm Fenwick. I've been asked to show you around.

Crystal: Nice to meet you. I'm—

Fenwick: Crystal, yes, we all know. You're quite popular with the other monks. Up here, we see everything that goes on in Ninjago.

Cole: Then you know—

Fenwick: You've traveled far for the Sword of Sanctuary, a powerful weapon that can foresee your opponent's next attack. 

Kai: And its also the- 

Fenwick: -Second clue to finding the tomb of the first spinjitzu master.

Zane: (In a pirate accent.) Blimey. But how be you—

Fenwick: 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.

(Wu, Misako, Nya, and Ronin interrogate Ghoultar.)

Nya: Deepstone bars. You're never getting out of here. Now tell us, what's in the tomb that's so important?

Wu: What does Morro want?

Ghoultar: Ghoultar never talk. Oops, Ghoultar talked. Uh, Ghoultar no talk from now on. 

Ronin: Oh, I'll get him talkin'. (He raises his Aeroblade.)

Wu: No, Ronin. We must find another way to get answers out of him. (Ghoultar laughs.)

Misako: Let him laugh. The ninja are already in Cloud Kingdom and well ahead of Morro. Let's just hope they can find the Sword of Sanctuary before it's too late.

Ghoultar: Where is girl?

Nya: You mean me?

Ghoultar: Now light girl.

Misako: He must be talking about Crystal. (He whispers to the others)

Nya: Why do you want to know?

Ghoultar: Ghoultar no talk.

Wu: We must find out why Morro wants Crystal. Come, Nya, there's still training to be done. As for Ghoultar, keep an eye on him, Ronin.
