Secrets Within

Chapter 2

"Let us be" Wu said, standing in front Dr. Saunders blocking him from the group of stone soldiers. They were currently in weapons hall museum, the stone soldiers crept closer. Two soldiers stood guard for the ninjas, the rest just crept closer to the two cornered mortals. Wu didn't know what to do, he didn't have a weapon and he couldn't risk leaving Saunders.

However, their attention was forced into direction of the sound of stone breaking. To see Hidden standing over what seems to be the remains of the two stone soldiers who were at the door. Hidden just looked at the group, that looked they were ready to avenge their fallen fellow soldiers. One soldier with another, attempted to attack Hidden full on. Striking a punch towards their opponent's face, but Hidden dodged and grabbed the soldier's arm. Then, throwing him into the other soldier.

Both were badly hurt from the crash, one attempted to get up but fell back down immediately. Turning towards the group, Hidden stood in place.
"I was going to grab what I wanted and leave but...." He started trail off, looking down.

"Seeing how weak you are, picking on the helpless-"

"Wu isn't helpless-" Saunders spoke out covering his mouth, immediately regretting interrupting the manic.

Hidden just laughed, then looked at Saunders then at the soldiers.

"Leave them, and perhaps I will revive your fellow soldiers-"

"That's not possible, unless you have a power like a realm crystal or the first spinjitzu master" Wu said, knowing that the dead can't ever come alive again.

Hidden looked at Wu, then walked back to the remains near the entrance of the hall.
Pulling out the staff of elements from his bag, then slammed the bottom on the ground causing a small earthquake to appear. Wu, Saunders and the soldiers were shaken by the small earthquake, didn't see the smoke around the remains or the soldiers.

Looking up,as the smoke begin to leave the harmed soldiers, and the remains were now stone soldiers again. Turning towards the group, in shock, Hidden smiled.

"Well, leave them be or else...."

Helping their fellow soldiers up, they retreated to the exit.

"How...." was all that Wu could think and say at the moment.

"How did I find the staff, that was destroyed? Well...." Hidden said, finishing Wu's words from him.

"It's a secret" he said, placing a finger over his mouth.

Then turning around, Hidden started to walk towards a different hallway.
"Where do you think he's going-"
"I don't know, but I feel he's going to something that could give him more power."

"Though he saved us, he can't be up to anything good."
Saunders nodded in agreement.

............

Hidden began to wonder around the main hall of the museum, trying to find the something.

"Where the hell is...." Hidden mumbled, looking at the heading of each hall.
Passing the Hall of Villains, Hidden felt he was being followed. Turning around to see a foot, that kicked him a far distance. However, Hidden managed to stay standing, still gripping the Staff.

Looking upto his attacker's face, he saw that it was one of the ninjas, Jay. Hidden stood in a fighting stance, showing that he had the Staff of elements. He chuckled as he saw the face of confusion and fear of the Jay, while two more figures appeared.

A Kai on the Jay's right and Cole suited ninja on his left.

Both had expression of fear, confusion or in Kai's case, anger. Hidden would wait for one of them to make a move, but he knew he had very little time. Instead of attacking, he bolted down the hall. However, the ninjas were following him.
