Faded

9. Taking a Chance

As Overseer overlooked all the events as usual, he soon found out that he did not do enough to prevent the vision. It seemed like Deathstroke and his team were still attempting to go with their plan. So this time, the Overseer decided to do more.

So, the Overseer was not in a hurry to see the mayor when he knocked on the door. He seemed calm. Any normal being would rush to prevent something bad from happening and he seemed collected as he greeted the mayor, Judge Toughbutt was also next to him, 'that biased bastard' The Overseer thought. Both the Overseer and Mayor knew each other long enough to trust each other.

"Tomorrow, 21:32, murder will take place in Borg's residence."

"What?" The Overseer does warn the mayor of future events from time to time, but this is the one he is determined to stop. The mayor was more shocked that Borg was the target than Overseer's insistence.

"Get the police there early. And the ambulance too." The mayor does not yet know who he really was and just looked at him as a person who is concerned for everyone's safety.

"Well, this better not be a waste of my resources"

"I promise it won't. If you succeed, I will pay you dearly." With that the Overseer tips his hat as he leaves the office.

Soon the day came, the assassination. Ninjas were not called but police and an ambulance were. To Overseer's pleasure, the assassination failed, and a bunch of men got arrested as a result. With this, he kept his promise and rewarded the mayor with something he loved, a nice shining car.

Overseer knew they were going to try again, and again they did. Although he failed to save Borg this time, he knew the false accusation was coming into play. The letters were already sent of the trial. He had to act now.

Luckily, he spots the killer in the distance. And within seconds he appeared in front of the killer, whose hands were in cold blood. Overseer looked him into his eyes and commanded "Look into my eyes, you will turn yourself in for killing Borg, plea yourself guilty and forget you have even met me." He did not even want to listen to him, he was in a hurry.

The Overseer knew that if he could not stop the letters, he could stop the trial from going forward, by making the real killer confess. he had stopped the vision. But there was one thing he forgot, the threats. But regardless, the change will impact it, a lot.

Just in coincidence, the Overseer was in the café the next day, next to a place where Ninjas were stopping robbers from looting the stores. He knew the exact thing that would take place. As soon as the ninjas were leaving, the Overseer too stood up and left the café but not before nearly hitting the mailman. As the mailman went past him, his eyes locked on one letter... The Letter for Trial, is the letter that will soon ruin Jay's life.

All of a sudden, he felt a sudden pain in his chest. He had no idea why he felt this emotion, but he was sure to investigate this after finishing his mission.

Meanwhile, Jay was just leaving as he was greeted by the mailman. He had a worried expression on his face, which was not good, something that he would do if there was a concerning problem in Ninjago.

Overseer looked in the distance, just enough so ninjas could not see him, as the mailman gave the letter and ran off.

Jay was confused, he did not greet as he usually would. It seemed as if he was scared. Everyone stood before Jay as he opened the letter. Within seconds of opening, the letter burst into flames and its ashes scattered into the floor. Everyone was shocked, the eyes first pointed at Kai but he was not close enough to light something on fire. All the ninjas were in bewilderment. Thinking that this was some dumb prank, they just shrugged and headed home.

Overseer smiled at the ninjas but not before the mailman accidentally bumped into the Overseer. He accidentally looked into the mailman's eye. He sensed the fear in his eyes. Mailman quickly stumbles up "Sorry sir! I-I didn't mean to."

"Why are you in a hurry? You know there is a saying to not shoot a messenger."

The mailman gave a puzzled expression. Does he know what was in the letter? How did he know what I had could cause trouble? Nevertheless, he was right, no one would harm anyone who sends a message. He briefly bowed before going off in his ways.

"That coward." Overseer muttered as Mailman scurried away in his bicycle.

Soon, a group of shadows shoots over his head like an arrow. He looks up to see ninjas riding their elemental dragons, something he did not see in his vision. The Overseer sighed, knowing he had prevented the future that would ruin Jay's life.

Meanwhile, at the Headquarters, Deathstroke growled at the revelation that his plan failed. Frame a ninja and pull the team apart.

He was soon called to a squad he had sent for a mission. He grumbled as he headed toward the squad.

As he arrived, one of his men showed him the discovery, the teapot.

This was good, regardless of his plan failing, at least he will have a powerful ally.

He took the pot and rubbed it, spawning a Djiin behind him. All of his men were shocked at the sight, they did not believe it was real.

"Why thou hast summoned me?" The Djinn asked.

"Nadakhan, it's great to see you. I have summoned you as an allay to defeat the ninjas and help me be the most powerful ruler of all of Ninjago."

Deathstroke bowed before the Djiin.

Nadakhan clearly had other things in his mind, revenge. He clearly remembers everything from when Clouse summoned him to when Jay reversed the time. He decided to go along.

"All in good time. You do know I need my crew back and for it I need the crystal."

"Of course. Whatever it takes."

Deathstroke led Nadakhan to his Headquarters. briefing him on his plan.

This is going to be exciting...

Yep, if you recognise this. This is a part of the story from TheEpicPerson123 "Banished and a point in which the timeline split. I would suggest reading his book, one it is a great book, and two, you will understand the weight that the Overseer have.
