Ninjago: Reversed Destinies

Chapter 32: Double Failure

The Ninja ran inside the museum, trying to find out where Pythor and the rest of the Serpentine were.

"I still can't believe it." Cole shook his head. "What the snakes could possibly be looking for in the museum?"

"There is a lot of things, actually." Zane gave him a meaningful look. "Ancient documents, rare artefacts. Maybe even one of the Silver Fangblades."

"You know, I was going to say that you didn't need to answer that, but you may be right about that last part." The Black ninja sighed. "Either way, we need to be careful."

"Oh! Over there!" Jay stopped, pointing out to a room to his left side. "I think I saw something!"

The group retraced their steps, but didn't saw nothing out of the ordinary. There was no one in the hallway to the room, and the door was closed.

"Are you sure?" Cole asked. "I mean, I can't even hear anything."

"We should check anyway, just to be sure." Nya shrugged it off.

"Yeah. Let's go, guys!" Jay led the way, running trough the hallway. However, the blue ninja didn't had the chance to open the door. The reason for that was because a police officer just got out of the room.

"Oh, the Ninja!" He grinned. "It's really good to see that you came to help us!" The man gave Jay a little tap on the shoulder. "But don't worry, we already took care of the Serpentine."

"Uh, what?" Jay turned to his friends, confused. "I...huh. Good, I guess."

"Is that for real?" Cole sighed, crossing his arms. "Who are all those people outside then?"

"Oh, just a bunch of curious people, don't worry." The officer waved his hand. "You can go now."

"That's fine and all." Nya lift a eyebrow. "But how do you know who we are, exactly? We're not very known by other people."

"I...uh...you see..." The man started to sweat nervously.

"Oh! Oh!" A female voice came from inside the room the officer had come out. "I can hear voices! Someone, quick! Help us!"

"Wait...I heard that voice before." Jay pondered.

"I apologize, mister." Zane spoke, determined. "But I sense that something is clearly wrong here. You have to let us inside."

The officer stood quiet for a second. Then without saying anything, he opened the door. The Ninja quicly made their way, founding themselves in a room filled with old artefacts from Ninjago's past.

In the center of the room, there was a old man, a small woman in a pink suit, tense, and a man wearing a blue hat tied together. Besides them, a whole group of other people was tied up as well.

"Okay, what is going on here?" Nya asked, confused. Suddenly the door closed behind them, as more officers appeared, looked like they were in a daze.

"We have to stop the Ninja!" One of them said, with an angry look in his face. The police jumped to grab a hold on the Ninja, but the younger group was faster and dodged.

"Okay, I know the police can be ruthless, but this is a bit too much!" Jay yelped as a pair of them ran towards him to knock him off on the ground. "Ouch! Give me a break!"

"I sense... that same furious daze, just like when Cole was hipnotized." Zane said, dodging an officer that tried to take him from behind. "I think we shouldn't hurt them. They are not being themselves."

"Easy for you to say!" Cole throwed himself at one of them, hitting the man's abdomen and making him fell on his knees. "These guys are not playing around!" Just as the black ninja said that, a vase flew close to his face, almost hitting him. "Woah!" The vase hit the wall, shattering the object.
