Brother Of Wind {special: Day of the Departed}

chapter 2

"You never should have played with dark magic, boy." Yang said.
"This Day of the Departed will be remembered as my Night of the Return. The Yin Blade, if you please." Yang held out his hand.

"Yeah, I don't think so." Cole drew back.
"I do." Yang said.

Cole turned around to see multiple of Yang's students surrounding him.
"What?!" They tackled Cole and handcuffed him and brought Yang the blade.

. . .

Back in the museum, the replicas came to life. With… somewhat green colour pallets. Huh.

Samukai, Kozu, Cryptor, Chen and Neran were now animated in this room. Neran look at his hand.
"AAH!" He threw the Sword of Sanctuary down, which he apparently had. Everyone just kinda stared at him. Neran slowly picked the sword up.

"Who... Who are you?" Samukai pointed his blade around.
"I can ask that too, because I have no idea who any of you are." Neran shrugged, sheathing the Sword of Sanctuary on his back.
"Oh, I know you." Neran pointed to Chen.
"I am Samukai! Skulkin general, fearsome master of the axe!" Samukai twirled his weapon around.
"Fearsome? You call that fearsome? This is fearsome!" Kozu slashed a pillar, knocking it down.
"I am Kozu! Destroyer of all foolish enough to challenge me!" He shouted.
"Yeah? So how'd you do against the guy who destroyed you?" Cryptor asked.

"Pft." Neran slapped his hand over his mouth.
"Why is there a child here?" Kozu asked.
"I-I am a legal adult." Neran replied.

"But what brought us back?" Chen asked.
"OOH! BUTTONS!" Chen started to fool around with them. He started to walk around the room. Neran went back to his own podium and Chen walked through him as he messed around. 

Morro followed the green smoke to the Hall of Villainy. He was about to enter the room when there was a crash. Morro jumped back and threw himself to the wall before the door entry. Morro peeked behind the frame. His eyes widened.
"Chen?!" He silently exclaimed. 

Chen barely made it back to the main room. 

Neran bent down to read his own podium.
"What is going on here?" Samukai asked, getting back up.
"Well," Cryptor started.
"The skinny man in the silky girl robes--" 

"No! I mean with us!" 

"Child." Kozu said. Neran didn't answer. He finished reading his podium and looked up to see the sign: "Hall of Villainy." Neran sighed.
"Child!" Kozu yelled again.
"Ny name's Neran." He replied. 

"Who cares." 

"Okay." 

"Do you have any idea of what is going on?" 

Neran looked to the end and saw the portrait of Yang.
"Ask him." Neran said. The others stared at Neran.
"That's a painting." Cryptor said.

Neran walked up the portrait and it started to move.
"Yeah, it seems like a guy." Neran said.

"My magic has brought you back from the Departed Realm to Ninjago, but you can only remain for the duration of the eclipse." Yang instructed as the others gathered around.
"Unless…"

"Unless?" Chen asked.
"Unless you destroy the ninja who destroyed you. Use your Departed Blades, and you will take their place among the living."

Pythor entered the room.
"Hall of Villainy? More like, Hall of Empty-ny." He said as the replicas were missing from their podium. He saw his mannequin.
"Oh. Nice." He took his Anacondrai Staff.

"The ninja are dispersed around Ninjago, and you will have revenge." Yang said.
"Did someone say revenge?" Pythor slithered up to the group.
"Ah, Cryptor, my loyal friend." He exclaimed. Pythor looked up.
"Chen."
