Ninjago S5 E5

## Plot

Kai, Jay, and Zane are practicing airjitzu on the Bounty. None of them can reach the flag. Wu tells them that to master this power, they have to lift each other up. Their new suits are embedded with deepstone, which will protect them from being possessed by a ghost. Speaking of which… Nya, in her own new ninja suit, passes by Cole, who is still depressed that he's been turned into a ghost. They talk, and I swear when I first saw this scene, I got romantic vibes. I ship Jay and Nya. Cole is still mine. It's been twelve seasons and he still doesn't have a love interest. Maybe if he ever does get one, it'll be more like the situation between Kai and Skylor, which is just a crush. And I can take care of that. Misako is going to debrief them on the next clue. Nya and Cole hug, and while she passes through him, he doesn't pass through her. When I first saw this, I thought it meant that maybe Nya's powers were the key to getting Cole back to normal, but trust me, that's not it. The second clue is a sword in a cloud. Jay tweaked Zane's voice to have him talk like a pirate. The sword is the Sword of Sanctuary, protected in the Cloud Kingdom. It isn't in Ninjago. It's in another realm that can only be reached through the Blind Man's Eye, a cyclone storm. To get there, the guys will have to climb the tallest mountain in Ninjago, the Wailing Alps. When the storm passes through, they'll jump through the eye, and use airjitzu to get to the Cloud Kingdom and get the sword. The sword reflects the opponent's next move in its blade. Misako says that this is about finding the tomb, but it's also about saving her son. They can't fail. The Bounty takes them in as high and as close as they can. They have to go the rest of the way in mechs, and use headsets to communicate. They'd never be able to survive the extreme conditions otherwise. But Cole's a ghost now, and Zane is a robot. They'll only have one shot to hit the Blind Man's Eye, and Ronin tells them not to miss. Cole wonders if he should sit this one out, because he didn't practice airjitzu. The others tell him that he's the reason they're even here at all, and that ghost or not, he's still a part of this team. They drop down, but Cole falls in his mech. He's having trouble controlling his new… body, I guess. Jay tells him they all have their bad days, and they're picking him up so he can return the favor next time. Zane basically says that the only way they're getting up the mountain is if they do it as a team. Kai tells him that this isn't about who's a ninja, a robot, or a ghost. Above all else, they're brothers. Aw! My heart! Also, yes! Someone in universe finally said it! They *are* family! And as iron sharpens iron, brother sharpens brother. That was easily one of the greatest moments in the entire show. They discover tracks from another mech suit. It has to be Morro. The reason the mountain is called the Wailing Alps is because when the unnaturally strong wind gusts blow through, it sounds like wailing. The guys anchor down during one of them, but Cole can't hang on, and Zane saves him before he's blown off the face of the mountain. Morro and the ghosts see the ninja following them. Lloyd is continuing to fight off Morro's possession. We learn that their master is called the Preeminent. It means surpassing all others; very distinguished in some way. They could move faster if Morro left Lloyd's body, but only a spinjitzu master can find the tomb. It explains why Morro possessed him, especially with his own vendetta against the Green Ninja. The Preeminent, who is addressed as she, sent Morro to find the tomb. Until she's freed, the other ghosts follow his orders. He tells Bansha to slow the ninja down. Given her name, it's no surprise that she can scream really loud, which causes an avalanche. The guys are caught in it, and none of them can control their mechs. Jay's breaks. He tries to grab Cole's hand, but he goes through it. Kai is forced to leave his, and he falls on a leftover piece with Jay. They land on Zane's mech. Cole wonders what to do, and tells himself to not give up. It's what Nya told him. Ninja never quit. He possesses a giant snowball and turns it into a golem. He saves the others from falling off the mountain. He's picking them up to return the favor. He possesses the mech, which makes it go faster. They may have lost a lot of ground, but they're up in terms of spirit. I swear, I didn't even mean to make that joke/pun. Morro and the ghosts see them catching up. They're at the Hanging Temple. Morro leaves the mech and goes the rest of the way on foot. He tells the others to make sure that the ninja never make it to the top. Kai is hit by one of Soul Archer's arrows. Luckily, the armor really does work, and he isn't turned into a ghost. Zane fights Ghoul Tar in the mech, Kai fights Bansha, and Jay tries to hit Soul Archer. The Blind Man's Eye is almost there. Another wind gust comes, and the guys anchor down again. Cole hasn't learned that ghosts aren't affected by the wind. Even Morro has trouble against it at first, but he makes it stop. Jay hits Soul Archer, but loses his Aeroblade. Zane sends his and Ghoul Tar's mechs down the mountain. They make it past Soul Archer and Bansha and catch up to Morro. This time when Jay falls, Cole is able to catch him. Jay finds his Aeroblade embedded in an icicle and retrieves it. At the rate they're all climbing though, they'll miss the Blind Man's Eye, unless they do airjitzu. Cole never practiced it though, and asks what will happen if he doesn't make it and just blows off the mountain. The others say that they'll catch him and tell him to trust them, and that he can do it. Kai, Jay, and Zane make it. Kai reminds Cole that brother sharpens brother. Cole is still worried that he'll fall and die. Kai points out that he's a ghost, and ghosts can't die. Right. Because they're technically already dead. Cole is able to make it, and lands on the others. They see the eye. Brother sharpens brother. They make it through the eye, and Morro misses them. Bansha and Soul Archer note that there will be other opportunities, and wonder where Ghoul Tar is. Ronin catches him in a deepstone cage, and he's brought onboard so the others can interrogate him. The guys wake up in the Cloud Kingdom.
