(A/N: A day early, but it is my birthday today, so I may as well treat myself, as well as any Ninjago fan whose birthday is on the same day as mine, or those born 31st March elsewhere. Anyway, did you guess if Jay will win, or not? Here it is)

--------

Warnie smirked at the thought of winning as Jay only showed an Ice Staff card before he chuckles. "I win." He said, moving the card aside, revealing a Lightning Staff card. Everyone who watched the game suddenly gasped before applauding.

"Straight flush, Staff, Water to Lightning." The dealer said. "Straight flush wins. And that is the end of the game."

--------

In the van, on the rooftop, and by the post, everybody cheers for Jay's victory. "He won!" Nya said, happy about her husband's victory. "He won!"

--------

In the secret room, Jay stands up and looked at the case. "Keep the money, all I wanted was the dagger." He said, placing his hand on it.

Warnie immediately gets up, pulls out a Walther Creed, and aimed it at Jay while grabbing hold of his wrist, preventing him from picking up the case. "You cheated!" He yelled. The sight of the gun shocked everyone.

Jay then quickly kneed his hand up, causing him to lose the gun in the air before he used his raised knee to kick Warnie down, making him let go of Jay's wrist, which he uses to catch the gun, and aims it at him. "No, you were the one who cheated, Senator." Jay kneels down, pulls out a Wind card with the Sword suit from inside his sleeve, and held it up, but as he stood up, his hood slid off, revealing his face.

"Hey, that's the Blue Ninja!" Fanglongous yelled.

"Uh, oops." He nervously chuckles.

"Get him!" Someone yelled.

Jay yelped as he quickly raised his arm to look at his communicator. "I'm compromised, move in, move in now!" He yelled into it as he threw the gun at a nearby gambler, hitting him in the face and knocking him down, quickly took the case as well as some chips to throw at a few gamblers, hoping to distract them, which worked for some, and heads for the door.

"He's got the cops waiting outside!" Someone yelled. "Let's get outta here!"

"Forget the chips!" Another gambler yelled to one about to pick up one of the tossed chips.

Zhong gets up to try and chase after Jay, but Ronin innocently held his leg out, tripping him. "Oops." He sarcastically said. Zhong grabs the gun and starts firing at Jay as he ran out, but couldn't hit him before getting back up, and chases after him.

--------

In the van, they hear the call and gunfire. "Shots fired, move in!" Tommy said into the headset. "All units, move in now." They immediately get out of the van as Zane turned into his cloaked form.

--------

On the rooftop, Lloyd, Nya, Geoff, Maggie and Wilhelm hear the call out. "You guys go, I'll provide cover fire." Wilhelm said before they take off, and Wilhelm looks through the rifle scope.

--------

Close by, Kai, Blake, Cornelius and Sean immediately took off as Cornelius and Sean pulled the back of their uniforms off, revealing their police tags. "Let's go!" Cornelius yelled as they head for the museum, followed by a SWAT team.

--------

Outside the museum, Jay quickly came out as the SWAT team went in along with the other officers while the Ninja stood next to them. "Do you have it?" Geoff asked. Jay gets out the case and opened it, revealing the dagger.

"A beauty, isn't it?" He asked.

"Something that he almost took three lives to get." Lloyd replied. "But other than that, it's a great catch."

--------

Inside the secret room, the SWAT team comes in and aim their sub-machine guns at the illegal gamblers. "Police, hold it right there!" One member yelled.

"NCPD!" Another member yelled as the gamblers immediately raised their hands as Warnie did as well while Ronin and Ray immediately knelt down in surrender before Ulmer came out, and one SWAT officer pushes him down.

--------

Outside, Zhong runs out of the museum as the Ninja immediately get out their weapons before a smoke grenade lands near them, causing smoke to come out before Jay was nudged into the ground, and turned to the side. On the rooftop, Wilhelm looks through the rifle scope to see the smoke. "I have no shot." Wilhelm said. "It's too misty from the smoke."

Zhong soon came out of the smoke, holding the case, and Wilhelm starts firing at him, but misses as the smoke fades away. At the front of the museum, the Ninja were shocked to see the case gone. "The dagger!" Jay yelled.

"Zhong's taken it!" Geoff replied as they immediately ran after him before he gets in his car and drives off.

"P.I.X.A.L., Zhong has the dagger, track his car!" Zane said.

"On it." P.I.X.A.L. replied through the communicator as the Ninja take off while the SWAT team came out with the detained gamblers, who were shouting protests.

"This is an outrage!" Ulmer yelled.

"I was framed!" Someone yelled.

"You got the wrong idea!" Ray yelled.

"I want a lawyer!" Fanglongous yelled.

"Will you all just hush?" Cornelius asked before they came up to a prison bus that had just showed up, and force them onto it. "Just hush!"

--------

On the highway, Zhong drives the car along the road, crashing into a pink car as he moved along while in the sky, P.I.X.A.L.'s Samurai X mech flies along above the rooftops. "He's on 12th Street." She said. "He's driving recklessly."

"We're almost in position." Lloyd replied through her headset. "Try to cut him off."

"Affirmative." P.I.X.A.L. immediately fires a rocket, hitting close to the right wheels, causing Zhong to swerve a little.

--------

In the car, Zhong exhaled a little. "You'll never catch me, Samurai X!" He yelled, turning the wheel.

--------

On the rooftops, the Ninja move along them as Zane briefly stopped. "He's turning left." He said, causing the Ninja to turn left as Zane soon held his hand out, creating a path of Ice for the other Ninja.

--------

On the streets, Zhong turns his car left as he kept going, coming across two young women, who scream. Kai jumps off the rooftops, grabs hold of the girls and rolls to the left, avoiding the car as it kept on going before he helps the girls up onto their feet. "Get home safe." He said to them.

"Thank you, Kai." The girls reply before taking off as Kai immediately jumped onto a car and then to a nearby windowsill to get back onto the rooftops.

--------

Close by, P.I.X.A.L. sees Zhong's car still moving forward. "I'll try again." She said before firing a rocket. Zhong immediately swerved the car, making her miss.

--------

Inside the car, Zhong briefly looked at the case and then the door mirror to see Samurai X. "I gotta ditch this car." He said to himself before noticing a nearby complex car park.

--------

In the air, P.I.X.A.L. sees Zhong's car turn into the cark park. "He went into a car park."

"Copy that." Maggie replied through the communicator.

The Ninja stop on the rooftop opposite the car park. "Kai, Geoff, take the ground floor." Lloyd said. "Maggie and Nya, the second. Jay and Zane take the third, Cole and Blake take the fourth. Gewuji and I got the final floor."

"Right." They all reply before splitting up, landing on the railings of their chosen levels and head in.

--------

On the ground floor, Kai and Geoff, who removed his sash covering his eyes for his Sand Sight, move along a row of parked cars. "See anything?" Kai asked.

Geoff looks around the car park. To him, it was grains of sand, but nothing was moving. "He's not here." He replied.

--------

On the second floor, Maggie moves along a row of parked while Nya moved along another row. "I got nothing." Nya said.

"Neither do I." Maggie replied.

--------

On the third floor, Jay and Zane move along a row of parked cars before noticing one sticking out a little, interior light still on and driver's side door open. They immediately came over to it and are surprised to see what it was. "That's Zhong's car." Jay said.

Zane soon looked around and turned back to Jay. "No sign of Zhong on this floor." He replied.

Jay soon looked at his communicator. "Lloyd, Zhong's ditched his car. He might steal another one."

"On it." Lloyd said through the communicator.

--------

Outside the car park, P.I.X.A.L. lands her mech at the front as two police cars stop on both sides of it and the officers get out. "Lloyd, we got the entrance blocked." Mantis said into his radio. "He won't be getting through here."

"Thanks, Mantis." Lloyd spoke through his radio.

--------

On the fourth floor, Cole and Blake move along on both ends of a car park. "He'll probably go for another car, probably somewhere up here." Cole said as they move along.

"There's hardly any sports cars in here." Blake replied before looking at his communicator. "Guys, any sports cars around?"

"None on the ground floor." Kai said through the communicator.

"Same here." Nya said through the communicator.

"Negative." Zane said through the communicator.

"I only see a couple." Gewuji said through the communicator.

--------

On the final floor, Lloyd and Gewuji move along a row of cars, unaware that Zhong was near a maroon SUV. "But not the same model." (A/N: The SUV is similar to a Bentley Bentayga Hybrid)

Zhong moves to the bonnet and opens it, disconnecting the battery and then closes it before placing his hand in through the open window, struggling to head for the door lock before managing to get to it. He gets his arm out and opens the door before putting one of his pickaxes into the panel underneath the steering wheel. He looks up to see Lloyd about to come over before quickly getting out, silently closed the door and rolls underneath the SUV next to it. Lloyd passes by as Zhong sees his legs before rolling out, heads back to the underside of the driver wheel, and disconnects the ignition system. He immediately went back to the bonnet and opened it before reconnecting the battery, closed it, and went back to the exposed ignition wire. "Can't take any chances." He said to himself before getting out a smoke grenade and throws it at Lloyd.

The smoke grenade rolls past Lloyd's feet and he sees it pass by before turning back around. "He's on this--" He was cut off when the smoke grenade went off, causing Gewuji to turn to the smoke and ran over to it. With the distraction, Zhong crosses the wires together a few times before the car starts up. Zhong immediately got into the driver's seat, closed the door and pulled the gear stick into reverse. The car immediately reverses out and turned to face ahead. As the smoke fades, Lloyd and Gewuji see the car take off down the path. "He's got into a car! A maroon Talban Gentyebye, license plate is 402GETO." They immediately ran after it.

--------

On the fourth floor, Cole and Blake see the car coming down the ramp before running over to it. "Take the roof!" Blake said as they soon came up to it.

Blake immediately jumped onto the bonnet while Cole jumped onto the roof as Zhong saw Blake on the bonnet. "Get off, you hood ornament!" He yelled, hitting the brakes, causing Blake to come off and roll to the front of a nearby car and hits it, setting off the alarm, while Cole held onto the roof by the open windows as Zhong resumed driving.

--------

By the entrance, Mantis had just listened to Lloyd's transmission. "He's coming, this is the only way in or out." Mantis said.

"Better get ready." Tommy replied, getting out his gun as Mantis and the other officers did so as well while P.I.X.A.L. prepared her mech.

They look at the entrance before hearing the sound of an engine and look down the sight of their guns. "Here he comes." P.I.X.A.L. said.

The car soon came down the ramp as they soon see it. "Open fire!" They start firing at the car as Zhong ducked down while still accelerating forward.

"Watch out!" Mantis yelled, grabbing hold of Tommy, and they quickly jump out of the way as the other officers did so as well while P.I.X.A.L. moved her mech the moment the car crashed into the police cars' fenders, and turned left. "Dragon's turd!"

The officers get up to fire, but P.I.X.A.L. stops them. "Hold your fire." She said. "Cole's on the roof."

Tommy gets his radio out. "All units, suspect Zhong Cheng is in a stolen maroon SUV." He said into it. "License plate is 4-0-2-Golf-Echo-Tango-Oscar. And do not proceed with action, there is a Ninja on the roof."

--------

On the street, Zhong kept driving the car along the street before looking at the rear mirror to see them far away. Further back, the Ninja jump from the railing of the fourth tier of the car park before climbing up the adjacent wall and into the rooftop before moving to try and catch up with Zhong. "Let's hope Cole can slow him down." Maggie said.

--------

Further ahead, Cole keeps hold of his grip on the roof of the car as Zhong kept driving it before moving forward a bit.

--------

In the car, Zhong sees Cole's fingers and starts turning the wheel, swerving the car. "Take some of this, Ninja!" He yelled.

--------

Outside, the car swerves as Cole held tight until he slid to where the passenger side door was and dives in, feet first, into the car by the open window, kicking Zhong.

--------

As he was distracted by the sudden surprise attack, he turned the wheel, causing the car to swerve a bit more. "Watch it, you fat oaf!"

"Give me that case!" Cole yelled. "And I'm only a little fat."

"Yeah right."

--------

On the rooftops, the Ninja see the car swerve as they briefly stop. "It's driving all over the place now." Jay said.

"Cole must've gotten in." Lloyd replied. "Let's go!" They immediately resumed moving across the rooftops.

--------

In the car, Cole looks down before noticing the case in Zhong's jacket pocket and soon grabbed it, hitting him in the face with it, causing the car to swerve to the left a bit. Soon, Cole was about to jump out, but Zhong quickly caught hold of him, making him drop the case out of the car window before punching him in the face, knocking him out. "Asshole." He said as he soon stopped the car and gets out.

--------

On the street, Zhong runs over to the case, quickly picking it up as Geoff and Nya jump off the rooftops, with Geoff acting as a landing pad for Nya, and ran up to him, but Zhong throws another smoke grenade at them and it explodes, emitting smoke, while Zhong takes off, getting back into the car, and Zane throws something at the car before it drives off with Cole still in the car as the smoke faded away. "Great." Nya said. "Not only do they have the dagger, but they got Cole as well."

"Well, they got Cole, but not the dagger." Jay replied, coming up to them, holding up the dagger.

"The dagger!" Geoff said as he took it. "How--?"

Jay was soon looking smug. "Took it out before Zhong used the first smoke grenade on us in front of the museum. We'll find Cole, but for now, I need to do something."

"So do I." Nya said.
