"Anyone else think there's something a little off about this guy?"
"He's holding something back…"
So, who has seen episode 75 of SoG?! Well, if you haven't this will have some spoilers so…yeah! Ever since I heard those two lines above, I've had this idea!
This is a one shot, but if you want me to continue, just say! I will be happy to continue!
Enjoy!
The royal bodyguard walked off from the ninja, swiftly he made his way to the buffet, he placed some things on a tray, he stopped, footsteps, they were coming closer.
He quickly hid the tray, just before Zane, Jay and Cole walked over. He gave them a quick nod, and skidded off.
"Hey! What's this?" The blue ninja picked up the tray and waved it around, making the food on it fall off.
"Um, nothing." The guard snatched the tray, picked the food up and placed it on the tray. "Go be ninja's."
"Who is that for?" Cole asked.
"Me, I need to eat once and a while."
"But, the food looks completely disgusting, plus it just fell on the floor…why would you eat that?" Hutchins didn't speak. "Plus again, my sensors tell me it's expired."
"Just keep an eye out for the Sons of Garmadon!" With that, Hutchins took the tray and walked away, with his eyes still on the three ninja.
"Ok…that was weird…but hey! Look at all of this amazing food!" Jay laughed, picked up a scone and ate it.

"So, what do you do? You are the Mask of Deception, so I'm guessing you deceive people…" The green ninja kept himself busy by talking to one of the Oni Mask, even though he never got a response, it kept him entertained.
He was sitting in a chair, back straight up, feet nicely placed on the floor, just in case the princess would walk out. "I wonder what would happen if someone wore you, I mean you are a mask, so I'm guessing people can wear you."
"Maybe you could gain the power of mind – "
Lloyd was cut off by a thud in the other room. Instantly, Lloyd threw himself off the chair, he started to run towards the sound, but stopped when he saw Hutchins, Lloyd quickly hid behind the wall, he listened closely.
"No! I can't! I've tried everything, and it isn't telling me! I've tried force, torture, what else could I do?!" Hutchins paused for a second, obviously listening to the other end. "Destroy something that's important to the person, I have the perfect idea!"
He hung up the device and walked to the bookshelf…
"Lloyd?"
Lloyd turned around and saw Princess Harumi staring at him with a concern look. "Something wrong?"
"Um…" Lloyd turned back and gaped as Hutchins was gone. No! Which book did he pull for the passage way?! Or did he leave!?
He slowly turned around and forced a laugh. "Yeah, I'm fine, now if you excuse me, I need to get back to ninja…ing…" As Lloyd walked he mentally punched himself. Ninjaing?! What is wrong with me?!
He slowly trudged back to his and sat down, staring at the mask.
"Lloyd!"
Once again, Lloyd turned around and saw his friends running towards him. Jay was in front.
"Lloyd, ok, Hutchins if officially hiding something!" Jay said, out of breath.
"Yeah, I know…So, what did you find out about him?"
"Well, he was making a plate of food, except the food was expired and it fell on the floor, then he said it was for him! No way would he eat that, but someone is."
Lloyd stomach turned. Is Hutchins holding someone captive!?
"What did you find out about him?" Kai asked, seeing Lloyd was beginning to get queasy.
"He was talking with someone on the phone, saying how someone wasn't telling him something, then he said he tried torture and force to make it tell, but that person clearly hasn't told him, so the person or thing on the other line said destroy something that is valuable to it…"
"Is that it?" Cole asked, scrunching his face.
"Then, he went to pull a book to open a passageway, I think, but then Princess Harumi appeared and let him get away!" Lloyd saw his friend's reactions, only making him thinking of who the person was.
"Ninja? Shouldn't you be watching over the palace instead of having chit-chat?" The ninja turned around to see Hutchins crossing him arms. Lloyd opened his eyes and walked closer.
"Oh sorry Mr. Hutchins…we will get back to it." Lloyd nodded his head, signaling everyone to leave, they did.
Lloyd let out a small smile, but it when away when Hutchins gave him a stern look, Lloyd walked back to his chair and sighed, instead of finding out who and what Hutchins was hiding, he had to stare at a creepy mask.
The Next Morning…
Lloyd groggily woke up, he was sleeping in his given room, the room was full of light, making it impossible to fall back asleep. The green ninja forced himself out of bed.
"Morning sleepily head!" Lloyd jumped and saw Harumi tucked away next to the door.
"Hey, I'm the ninja here!" He gave a weak laugh, Harumi smiled.
"Breakfast is ready and all of the other ninja are already down stairs."
He nodded. To be honest he wasn't really listening, he was just staring . He smiled, Harumi looked beautiful, perfect. Was she glowing? Yeah, probably. "Harumi, can I kiss you?"
"Aw, Lloyd come here and kiss me!"
Lloyd jerked his head up to see all of his friends laughing is his room. Oh no…
"Come here Lloydie!" Lloyd slapped Jay. "Ow!"
"Lloyd has a crush! Lloyd has a crush!" Cole repeatedly sang, which made everyone else laugh.
"Not funny!"
Lloyd pushed himself out of bed and walked over to the door, he pulled it open and left.
"Someone is in a bad mood!" Kai chuckled.
"Probably because he didn't get a kiss from the princess!" Nya snorted, as everyone else laughed, but then followed Lloyd out the door.
The dining hall was huge, the table had food spread out all over it, it was like food heaven. Cole lightly stomped his foot. "Oh come on! My body is a temple!"
Everyone sat down, Lloyd sat in a chair, hoping Harumi would sit next him, but instead…
" Hello Lloyd."
"Uh, Hi Mr. Hutchins…" A strange feeling started to build up inside of him, he started to feel a little sick.
"How was your sleep?"
"Good…" He didn't know what to say, he could tell that Mr. Hutchins knew they were suspicious of him.
"Good Morning everyone!" The princess walked in the room, a large grin was on her face.
Lloyd melted into a smile, he couldn't help it, she was beautiful. Harumi made her way in sat in a chair directly across from Lloyd, and in the middle of her parents.
Breakfast went by fast, most of the ninja were silent when Hutchins spoke, but the princess would always break the silence with another question of a villain who attacked Ninjago.
A few hours later…
Kai and Nya were sitting on the roof, playing a round if tic-tack-toe, they were bored. There was no sign of the Sons of Garmadon, and all they could think about was whoever Hutchins kidnapped, what if it was a little kid!?
Nya looked up from their game and sighed. "Kai, we need to find out who is the person that Hutchins took! Maybe we should do research on missing people."
"Yeah, but when will we get the chance? We are basically always guarding!"
"Maybe Cole, Zane, or Jay could do it, I mean there is three of them."
"True, I'll call Cole…" Kai took out his phone and dialed Cole's phone number, he quickly explained everything and after 30 seconds, Cole was already on it.
"Perfect, now we can protect and find out information!"
"I just still can't believe Hutchins would kidnap someone, we aren't even certain if he did!" Kai said, now standing.
"It's obvious," Nya stood up. "Why else would he have that food and protective of the bookshelf!"
"I don't know, but I'm kind of hoping that we are wrong…"
Kai was right, if Hutchins did capture someone, that means he took someone from their family! Stripped them from their loved ones. Why would Hutchins do that!? If he did…
What if they were accusing an innocent man…? What if they get him fired for something he didn't do?!
"Well, we just have to wait and see…"
With Cole…
The black ninja walked around the palace, trying to find some sort of computer or something he could use to research missing people!
Why does this place have to be so big!? It's like a maze! He pushed open a door and smiled. There were computers everywhere! Wow! They had their own computer room!
All of the computers were all up to date, very clean and all symmetrical in one row. There were two long tables each with a fancy gold and spiral design on it, they had matching chairs for each computer. Easily, each table had around 10 computers on it, on each side, that means that there would be 40 computers to choose from!
Cole slid his way to the one of the computers in the center, where above was a skylight, it was opened a little, letting the cool breeze in.
"Alright, now that I've chosen a computer, it's time to research!" Cole pushed the button on the side and waited for to turn on, a golden screen flashed up with the date and time in silver.
He pressed the space bar that took him to the…login…
"Oh no! What is the login! No! I can't research without a stupid Username and password!"
"What do you need a computer for?"
Cole turned his head to see the Royal Empress standing there.
"I…was…I was just going to research things about the Sons of Garmadon!" Cole let out a convincing smile, but then frowned. "But, I don't know the login…"
Empress let out a small chuckle. "I thought Hutchins gave you the login, but I guess not. Here, let me write it down…"
Wait…Hutchins was supposed to give us the login for the computer!? Cole thought as the Empress scribbled down the login. What is he hiding!? Well, except a person!
"Here you go, don't take too long." Empress headed him the login and walked off, shutting the door behind her.
Cole squinted at the paper. God, this is a long password… Cole typed in the login slowly.
Username: TheRoyalFamily
Password: 19202384293849137497529
"Annnd enter!" Cole slammed the enter button and a little circle span around, he got in!
"Welcome…" A robotic voiced chimed in monotone. Cole ignored it and went straight to Google.
"Hmm…" He pushed down a bunch of keys, making a clicking sound which key he pressed. Missing People
When he hit enter a long list of people showed, dating back to the 1900's. He went back to the search bar and typed in…Missing People 2017/2018
This time when he hit enter, a shorter list came up, with the most recent people who went missing. Each link he clicked, they lead to dead ends, either saying they died or they've be found.
Cole clicked another link, he read.
Blake Keen
14-year-old boy who went missing three days ago.
Last was seen at 1:20 PM around the Royal Palace.
Was last wearing a gray hoodie, dark blue jeans and white high tops.
He has red, short hair with freckles all over his face and skin, also wears glasses.
If you find Blake, call 879-missing-ninjago.
Cole took out his phone and took a picture of the article, Blake could be the kid, three days ago, they first meet Hutchins and two days ago, he started to steal trays and slop.
He turned off the computer and sent the picture to everyone, then he ran back off to Zane and Jay.
7:48 PM…
All of the ninja were hiding, waiting for Hutchins. Waiting for him to open the bookshelf and when he left, they would save Blake!
Around 12 when Cole sent the picture, they all agreed that it was Blake Keen, if he was seen last around the Royal Palace, that was when Hutchins took him!
Hutchins slowly walked up to the bookshelf and pulled a book, it was orange and in the top left corner of the middle shelf, it was the book of Royal Manners.
He came out 10 minutes later, making sure he shut the door behind him, after 2 more minutes, they all slowly came out of hiding.
"Alright guys, whatever is behind that door is Hutchins true identity! So, are you guys ready?" Lloyd asked, his friends nodded.
"Let's do this!" Cole quietly shouted.
"Ok, I will go in first, then you guys will come in when I call you, ok?"
Everyone nodded again. "Good luck Lloyd!" Kai patted the green ninja on the back and stepped back.
Lloyd walked up to the bookshelf and yanked the book, slowly the bookshelf moved. It showed a narrow, gray, cold hallway.
He walked in, shivering from the cold. He traced his fingers on the wall, the stone was smooth.
"Blake? Are you in here?" Lloyd called out. No answer. He picked up the pace, nervous of what he was going to see.
"Blake! It's ok!"
Lloyd entered an open room, all was in it was a small bed, some empty tray's and a knife!?
He gasped. In the corner, there was a person, shivering. Cuts and bruises all over the body. Wearing torn rags. But, it wasn't Blake, the person had black hair and a piece of hair the was…green…
"Morro!?"
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
So, Hutchins did kidnap someone, but not some random kid, a person Lloyd knows very well!
The reason I choose Morro is because on a Twitter a long time ago, someone asked Tommy Andreason if Morro was going to return from the Departed Realm, Tommy responded No Spoilers.
That means he can't tell us, because it would spoil!
Do you guys want me to continue?
