(Looking for the Scroll of Aurjitzu which was stolen by Ronin, the ninja arrive on the docks of Stiix.)

Fisherman: Welcome to Stiix. Watch your step. Oh, I caught one. It's a big fella. Ugh, whoa. Whoa! (He gets pulled into the Endless Sea.) Ugh. Dagnabbit.

Jay: (The ninja watch as Kai sits down nervously.) I didn't know you were afraid of heights.

Kai: I'm fine with heights. It's water I hate.

Trey: Didn't seem to have a problem before.

Kai: Before I could make a Fire Dragon at will. Since Morro's taken over Lloyd and our powers gone, I haven't felt—Aagh! (A plank breaks under him but Cole pulls him up.)

Cole: Well, now that we know ghosts don't like water either, at least we should feel safe surrounded by it.

Jay: Ugh, what a dump. You'd think the thief who stole the Scroll of Airjitzu would have better taste.

Cole: Uh, this is Ronin we're talking about. He'd steal the sea if it were worth anything. We just have to figure out which rock he's under and get to the Scroll before Morro does.

Zane: Let's split up and start looking.

(The ninja arrive at a pawnshop and start looking.)

Cole: Wait a minute, this is my dad's Blade Cup trophy. What's it doing in a pawn shop?

Kai: Selling stolen goods? Ha, sounds like we might have stumbled on the right place.

Ronin: (He whistles while carrying a vase.)

Jay: Ronin.

Ronin: Huh?

Trey: Going so soon?

Ronin: If this is about our last encounter, it was only business.

Kai: You left us in the mouth of a—

Ronin: So you're still upset. Let me make it up to you. (He puts his vase down and pushes a button.) Aha! (The Vengestone net trap fails.) Uh, that was a mistake. I can explain that.

Cole: Argh, nothing here is legit, including you.

Jay: Yeah. I bet your airship's not far either. What do you call it again? Rylo? Ruby?

Ronin: R.E.X. And could you have a little sympathy? Sold her so I could buy this place. As you can see, I'm trying to make an honest living.

Kai: Honest enough to steal the Scroll of Airjitzu?

Ronin: The Scroll of Who-whatzu?

Jay: Airjitzu. It can make a Spinjitzu Master fly.

Trey: Yeah. So hand it over or I can make you fly.

Ronin: Whoa, cool down, fellas. Even if I had such a thing, it sounds pretty old and important. Definitely not something I'd keep on site. And definitely too much for you to afford. Maybe I can interest you in some unique weaponry? I've got Jadeblades, obsidian armor...

Zane: Have anything that can vanquish ghosts?

Ronin: Hmm, ghosts you say?

Cole: Yeah. They hate water, but we're not looking for water balloons. We need something reliable.

Ronin: Hmm, what you're looking for is an Aeroblade, forged by Deepstone, an aquatic material mined from the bottom of the ocean. Very unique. Even more expensive.
