The ninja, on the bounty, arrive at Steep Wisdom. "Shouldn't we be going to Stiix? The longer we wait, the worse it'll get." Kai asked Sensei Wu, as the others jumped off the the ship.

"We need to stock up." Wu replied.

"On what? Magical Tea that will make us invincible?" Jay gasps, "Give us special powers? Is it gonna give us four arms?" He exclaimed, annoying the rest of the team.

"Sadly, no magical tea today. I had to sell the rest of the merchandise along with everything else." Sensei said, showing them the empty shop. From the outside, it looked empty from the outside.

"What? You sold your business? But that was for your retirement." Zane spoke, as a familiar face rolled out of the shop.

"Ah! Hello again, Ninja." Cyrus Borg said, smiling.

"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." Wu shrugged, as Borg looked around.

"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?" Cyrus gasped, making Cole look down insecure. Y/n puts a hand on his shoulder, trying to cheer him up. "Y/n looks older than her brother. And Jay look shorter. And, and then there's Kai."

"Hey! How can my little sister look older than I am? And what do you mean I look shorter?" Jay exclaimed.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Borg, but cut to the chase. We don't have much time." Kai interrupted.

"Yes, always the impatient one. Come, let me show you." Borg presses a button to bring up their 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 exclaimed, jumping in his vehicle and driving around.

"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."

"Super cool. And I mean quite literally." Zane, too, jumps into the 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, smiling. "I do love a slow jam." He turns on the radio. "Whoa!"

"And for you, Kai." Borg tosses Kai a red headband.

"A Headband?" Kai muttered, dissapointed.

"A personal embroidered headband. Thirty-two thread count, easy tie capabilities. I apologize. I lost track of the time building the other vehicles." Cyrus muttered something under his breath, "Eh, same goes for you two, Y/n, Lloyd. To be honest, Lloyd, I wasn't entirely sure you'd be making it back."

"Hey, I'm just happy to be here. We'll take any help we can get." Lloyd replied, smiling.

"I hear Morro has opened a bridge between our two realms. It'll take time for the Preeminent to cross." Borg informed, as Kai was looking at his headband. 

"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." Wu added.
