Ninjago: Darkness Within Arc (2)

Chapter 20: YOUR FIRED!

-

(At the bank, Cole is sleeping on the job.)

Cole's Boss: Everything okay?

Cole: (Wakes up in time.) Aah! Nothing out of the ordinary, boss.

Cole's Boss: Thanks for taking the double shift.

Cole: My pleasure. (His boss heads inside.) And now... (Yawns.) ...for a little more beauty rest. (Snores. Fangtom, Acidicus, and Skalidor tunnel into the bank, setting off the alarms.)

Cole: Aah!

Acidicus: Take it all.

Fangtom: Shouldn't we wait for Skales?

Acidicus: No, you fool. He's carrying out the rest of the mission, remember?

Fangtom: Oh, yeah.

Acidicus: Let's get out of here. (They all grab a bag of money and jump through the hole they came from just as Cole opens the vault door.)

Cole: Huh?

Acidicus: Let's take the subway.

Cole: Subway?

(Meanwhile, a balloon bursts as Kai is working, but he sees police cars heading toward the bank.)

Kai: Trouble? Sounds like they need me. (He tries to leave, but his mom stops him.)

Mom: Not so fast. I still have you for another hour.

Kai: Uh, but the bank. People are in danger.

Mom: Not until my son is done playing. (She sees that Kai escaped and handed her the balloons.) Huh. You're fired!

(Zane is working but overhears his customers talking about the robbery.)

Man: It's true, at the bank. I hear they stole all that money, and no one's doing anything about it.

(Zane accidentally drops eggs on a kid's head. The child starts crying.)

Zane: Uh, I'm... I'm sorry.

Zane's Boss: You're fired!

Zane: (His false skin starts falling off, scaring the family.) It must be my hard drive overheating. I mean... never mind. I'm going!

(Cole is trying to convince his boss to let him keep the job as Kai and Zane arrive.)

Cole: I'll make it up to you, I swear.

Cole's Boss: Hmmm, no. Why don't you go home and get a good night's rest, and go ahead and sleep in. In fact, sleep in all day for all I care, because YOU'RE FIRED!

Kai: (Disappointed) Ugh, looks like we're all in the same boat.

Cole: Eh, that's okay. I hated that job anyway. Let's go. They're getting away.

Kai: Which way did they go?

Cole: I overheard them saying something about the subway.

Zane: Good call. Let's go!

All: Ninja, go!

Cole: Has anyone seen Jay?

(Cole, Kai, and Zane jump on a train.)

Acidicus: Sounds like we have company, boys.

Skalidor: But I only heard three. Aren't there four?

Fangtom: No, stupid. We caught one of them.

Cole: Ugh, isn't there an easier way to get inside?

Kai: Not without a ticket. Huh? Aargh! (Gets grabbed by Skalidor, making a hole in the train.)
