A few minutes later, Nya headed downtown to meet the guys. She was thinking about what Misako had said. Nya felt a little bad for not telling the rest of the team about the two calls for help when they came in. She would tell them about her misadventures when she saw them. She didn’t want to keep secrets from them. From now on, she would try harder to work together with the others.

Suddenly, something caught her eye. An oversized television screen displayed the news on the side of a building. Helicopter crews were filming in real time, hovering over the village of Stiix (or what was left of it, after all the destruction the Preeminent had caused).

“This is Fred Finely, coming to you live from Stiix,” the news reporter announced. “It seems trouble has returned to Ninjago! As you’re seeing here first, on Ninjago Channel 8 — the Nocho — ghosts once again walk among us! Two sightings have been reported in Stiix over the past few hours. What does this mean for Ninjago? Is the Preeminent truly gone? And most important, where are the ninja?”

The screen changed to footage of two ghosts making mischief on the streets of Stiix. Residents who had just started to rebuild their city ran terrified from the creatures.

Nya gasped. “I can’t believe it. Ghosts? But how?” She thought fast. “If I go right now, I can stop them. I have water power — that’s the only thing that ghosts are powerless against!” Nya paused. “But I should get the others. Like Misako said, we’re strongest together.”

Quickly, Nya pressed the communicator button on the DBX flyer. “Guys, come in. There’s trouble!”

Bzzzzzzt! Nothing but static.

Nya looked in dismay at the hanging wires from the communicator panel. “What did Nuckal and Kruncha do to this thing?”

She reached into her pocket for her cell phone.

But it was empty.

“And I left my cell phone back at the Destiny’s Bounty? Perfect.”

Nya watched in alarm as the ghosts on the television screen chased the people of Stiix.

“Those people need help now,” she said. “If I go get the guys, it could be too late. Or …”

Suddenly, she had an idea.

Nya lowered the driver’s side window and called out to an elderly couple on the street.

“Quick, I need your help!” she said. “Please, go to the noodle shop downtown. The ninja are there. Tell them to hurry to Stiix. Ghosts are on the loose! Tell them Nya will already be there.”

The old couple nodded. “Of course, dear!”

“Thank you. Thank you so much!” In a cloud of dust, Nya made a giant U-turn and headed toward Stiix.

The old man turned to his wife. “Where are we supposed to go now, Mildred?”

“Didn’t you hear, Ernest? To the poodle shop downtown. The ninja are there!”

“Oooh, the ninja.” Ernest pulled a Kai action figure out from his pocket. “I’ve always wanted to meet them. Maybe they’ll autograph my action figure!”
