A Psycho's Trial Run

Act 1 Scene 20: March 18th. A week has passed after Al ordered his forced hired help to wreak chaos on Oceanview. The Ninjas are trying to see if the police got any leads from the disasters all over the town.

Sasuke: "I got nothing. What about you guys?"

Justin: "Nope. Nothing."

Steve: "Sorry, Sasuke. There is still not enough information on the preps." Sasuke puts his hand on his face. He starts to rub his hand very vigorous.

Justin: "Hey, Sasuke. Not so hard, buddy. You're going to leave marks." Sasuke stands up from his chair and walks toward his window.

Sasuke: "Guys, this is a big deal. The Headless Dragon Clan came back and the city is living in fear. We can't seem to do anything right." Justin and Steve's phones start ringing.

Steve: "Sasuke, I'm going to need to take this."

Justin: "Same here." Both Justin and Steve leave to talk on their phone. A couple of seconds later, both of them reappear with their phones still in their hands. "Sorry, Sasuke. Ever since we helped you face the Headless Dragon Clan, both of our parents gave us curfews."

Steve: "My parents told me to start heading back home ASAP." Sasuke flips a table.

Sasuke: "I don't believe you guys! Curfews, written homework and your precious electronics are going to be the deaths of both of you."

Steve: "Sasuke, what's with you? Ever since you had those recurring nightmares, you have constantly been on edge."

Sasuke: "I seem to be the only one who cares about the well-being of the town. My own "brothers" don't care that their hometown will become a crater ."

Justin: "Whatever happened to staying calm under pressure? Did that just go away once you had that nightmare?" Sasuke is about to open his mouth until a police ham radio starts making sounds.

Act 1 Scene 21: Under a bridge. A few minutes later. Justin left the safehouse to check on the emergency that came from the ham radio. It was some records of a man in a straitjacket being spotted around the area he's at.

Justin: "I'm at the location, guys. Are you sure neither of you guys wanted to come?"

Steve (on phone): "Sorry, Justin. Sasuke didn't want to bother going. I'm only here to keep him company."

Justin: "Fine." He checks every corner of the area. "I don't see anyone here."

Steve (on phone): "Keep looking. He couldn't have gotten too far even for you."

Justin: "Watch your mouth, Steve. You had problems finding targets yourself." Suddenly, an entire trashcan falls over. "Shhh! Someone's here. Steve, tell my dad that coming home late. I'll call you later." Justin turns off his cell phone. He walks very slowly so no one can hear him. (to the man) "Hello... is anyone there? The mental hospital is worried sick about you. Please stop running away."

Man: "You want me to stop running. Well, here I am. Take me to mental hospital if you must." Justin looks at the man and he decides to lower his weapons.

Justin: "Okay, I dropped my weapons. Time to go to your house."

Man: "Actually, think again." The man does a judo flip on Justin. "You are in the presence of an era. The Fall of The Ninjas."
