It all started when Lloyd stumbled upon a dusty little tea shop squeezed between a noodle bar and a place that exclusively sold socks with dragons on them. The shop looked old, mysterious, and definitely not up to code. Perfect.
Inside, an elderly man with one eyebrow and suspiciously glowing teeth handed him a cup of tea with the label:
"Drink Me – Totally Normal Tea. Definitely Not Haunted."
"Cool," said Lloyd, because this is the level of caution we expect from a Spinjitzu Master.
He downed it in one go. "Hmm, tastes like... wet pinecones and regret."
Nothing happened.
"Eh," Lloyd shrugged, tossing the empty cup into a conveniently placed void of nothingness behind the counter. He walked out, whistling a little tune, heading toward the training area.
Meanwhile, Zane and PIXAL were strolling through Ninjago City, doing totally normal robot-couple things like talking about processing power and judging people who don't use two-factor authentication.
Suddenly, Zane halted. His eyes glowed briefly. "PIXAL... do you detect that?"
PIXAL turned, scanning the street. "Yes. That's... Lloyd?"
Zane squinted at the green ninja happily skipping by, munching on a doughnut like he didn't just walk through a horror-movie plot device.
They both scanned him at the same time.
Scan complete:
Subject: Lloyd Garmadon
Status: Alive(?)
Heartbeat: [FILE NOT FOUND]
They looked at each other.
PIXAL blinked. "Zane... are you seeing the same thing I'm seeing?"
"Yes," Zane said slowly. "Either Lloyd has achieved some form of advanced meditation... or he is legally dead."
Lloyd waved as he passed by. "Hey guys! Great day to be alive!"
PIXAL tilted her head. "He has no pulse."
Zane frowned. "He also has jelly filling on his shirt. But yes, that seems more urgent."
"Should we... tell him?"
Lloyd suddenly turned back to them. "Hey, do either of you feel cold? Like... I dunno... ghost cold? Also, I walked through a wall earlier but I think that was just adrenaline."
PIXAL turned to Zane. "He drank cursed tea again, didn't he?"
"I blame Master Wu's 'Mystic Beverage of the Week' box subscription," Zane muttered.
Just then, Jay ran by screaming, "LLOYD JUST PHASED THROUGH MY ROOM AND STOLE MY CHIPS! HE'S A GHOST! A VERY RUDE GHOST!"
Lloyd popped his head through a wall. Literally. "They were Cool Ranch! Worth it!"
PIXAL sighed. "I'll get the exorcism teapot."
Zane nodded. "I'll call Nya. She has the ghost vacuum."
