Lloyd entered the mobile base and remained noticeably silent. They arrived at the Explorers Club. And exited the vehicle meeting Zane out on the street. They then kicked open the door to the building and gasped at what they saw inside. It looked to be a beautiful antique home. They heard someone clear their throat and they turned to see standing behind a desk a stately-looking gentleman with gray hair, bread, and spectacles staring at them. He was dressed in a brown tweed jacket with a vest and bowtie and was holding a teacup in his hand.

Lloyd stepped up to the desk and said, "This is an emergency. We need one of the items in your collection."

Zane pushed ahead of Lloyd and said, "The second scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu."

"The one Clutch Powers gave you!" Nya said

"If you haven't noticed the city was burning and being attacked so if you could hurry up that would be dandy!" Misty added.

The man let out a groan as if he was being inconvenienced but he placed his teacup down and he pulled out a dusty leather-bound book from underneath the counter. He dusted it off and said, "Let's us see," He opened the book and began to read off several names, "Scroll of Confusion, Scroll of Dancing Monkeys, Ah, here. Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu. Yes, that particular artifact has indeed been deposited in our archive." He spoke with a British accent and in a posh tone.

"Great. We need it, fast." Lloyd said

"Of course, sir. I just need to see your membership card." The man said and he held out his hand toward Lloyd. Lloyd waved both his hands and said quickly, "No, we're not members, we just..."

The man didn't let him finish and he grabbed the book and said, "It pains me deeply to inform you that access to club archives is for members only." He slammed the book shut.

Zane sighed and said, "This is an emergency! The fate of all Ninjago is at stake!"

"Oh. Is it? Oh, dear." The mean replied although he didn't sound that concerned at all.

"So, we can have the scroll?" Nya asked hopefully

"Oh my, no! Rules are rules, after all! Where would society be without them? Hmm? We can't have anarchy, can we?" Cecil said and he walked out from behind the desk and started forcing the ninja to shuffle backward and toward the open door.

"Well, um... Can we join the club then?" Lloyd said quickly

"Hm. Of course. Once you reach 10,000 hours of certified exploration, notify us, and we shall begin the multi-year process of examining your applications." Cecil said and he then slammed the door in the ninja's faces.

"I really, really don't like him," Misty muttered.

"Did that just happen?" Lloyd said in disbelief.

"I wish I could tell you that you were imagining it," Misty muttered her right eye started to twitch.

"Oh, that makes me mad! I'm going right back in there and giving that little pencil pusher a piece of my mind!" Nya shouted and started storming toward the door.

Zane intercepted Nya and said, "We do not have time for this. May I suggest another tactic?"

"What tactic?" Nya asked her eyes narrowed displeased that her warpath had been halted.

Right before their eyes, Zane transformed himself into Clutch Powers, and with a smirk answered in his voice, "Deception."

"Hey, that's pretty good. You look just like Clutch." Lloyd said impressed
