The police department had been a mess after the ninja escaped, and with all the commotion no one even bothered to look for Captain Soto. "Find me those ninja!" The commissioner yelled "They can't just break out of Kryptarium and completely disappear. I want witnesses, I want locations. These fugitives are ninja, people. They could be right under our noses for all we know,"

And they were, Nya and Jay are both disguised as officers and blend in with the police department in hopes of finding Nadakhan's ship. They first suggested going to Brog Tower since it had a security room that was able to access all cameras in Ninjago. Still, Anna informed them that it was destroyed when Ronin captured her and Morro and is most likely under construction. So the department was a last resort

Nya's voice came through the earpiece of her teammates "All right, I'm in their secured network. But I still need that password,"

Jay was sitting on a chair with another desktop, not too far from Nya "I'm looking for it now, but I don't get it. Why do we have to hack into their system when we already have a Nindroid?" he asked.

Nya whispered back, "Because Nindroids don't know everything. And if Soto says the map to stop Nadakhan is on his ship, we need to find it. Fast."

Jay let out a huff and glanced at a nearby officer, lowering his voice to avoid blowing their cover. "Hey, what's the password again?"

"The password is 'password,'" the officer replied, barely looking up.

Jay nodded, tapping his earpiece. "Got that?"

Nya nodded and typed it in, she glanced up at Jay and but quickly tore her gaze away before a police man could spot her  "That worked. Now searching city records for the last known whereabouts of his ship, Misfortune's Keep," she muttered  "Speaking of which, hey, Kai, how's Destiny's Bounty holding up?"

-

Kai, Zane, and Morro were tasked with retrieving the Bounty, which was being held at a repo yard. Kai stepped up to the chained fence but quickly jumped back. "Ow! Careful, Zane. It's electrified."

"I don't need to be careful," Morro said, walking straight through the fence without a second thought. Kai rolled his eyes and muttered, "I wasn't talking to you."

Zane glanced at the many warning signs. "I believe all of the signs on this repo yard made that abundantly clear. Perhaps there's another suitable solution past this obstacle. Airjitzu?" Zane suggested, then performed the move, effortlessly gliding over the fence.

"You don't have to sound so cocky," Kai muttered before quickly following Zane's lead.

Meanwhile, Anna, Cole, and Lloyd were en route to Gypsy Cove, the last place Misfortune's Keep had been seen. Anna sat on Lloyd's dragon when she received a message from Nya. "Okay, I've located Nadakhan's ship. It was last recorded to be seen in Gypsy Cove. Three klicks north of Cannon Beach."

Cole nodded, offering a grateful smile. "Thanks, Delara—oh, I mean, Nya." He quickly corrected himself, his cheeks reddening slightly as Lloyd let out a small laugh.

"Not funny," Nya huffed, clearly annoyed. "Let's see how you like it when you look like our enemy's sweetheart."

Anna, sensing the tension, stepped in smoothly. "Gypsy Cove isn't far. We'll let you know what we see when we get there."

Their dragons flew gracefully through the skies, and before long, they arrived at Gypsy Cove. As the wind rustled through the trees, Anna slid off Lloyd's dragon, her feet touching the sandy ground. Cole and Lloyd followed close behind, surveying their surroundings with focused eyes.

"As expected, it isn't here," Anna remarked, scanning the area with a disappointed frown. Then Nya's voice crackled through the earpiece, breaking the silence. "Well, if you can't get it, for my sake, just get out of there, you three."
