Prologue

Dark, pale and pain...is all I could experience now. I felt cold and weak, my heart was slowing down with each beat I was going to die. You may ask, what got me into this mess...it all started days ago...

Chapter 1: Evil Lurks

It was a normal, bright day...the dew from the morning tree's dripped down onto the field of roses and plants.

The only sound, that broke the silence of dawn was a loud-banging gong...coming from a Dragon-headed ship.

Inside four Ninja were asleep, but were being waken from their slumber by none other than Sensei Wu. "Evil doesn't sleep and neither should you!" he yelled. All of them awoke with a groan...obviously sick of an early wake-up call.

"Ok! Ok! We're up! But PLEASE stop making that noise?!" Kai, the red Ninja of Fire shrieked...jumping down from his bunk. Sensei grinned and stopped as he watched his students get ready. They got dressed and went down to train...the one who worked harder in fact was the Black Ninja of Earth named Cole. He was the leader which wasn't an easy job due to the fact he was supposed to keep his team working together...which was far from simple.

But, though this day seemed to be ordinary like any other, there was still something strange about it...a presence of evil, was lurking by.

I was hitting a punch bag, non-stop. "Whoa, you look like your attacking a snake warrior! Whats gotcha pumping?" Jay asked. I kept hitting the bag, "I had a dream...(pant)...it was about us fighting the Serpentine." "And?" Jay looked at me. "They...(pant)...killed you guys." I said. Jay looked startled, "What?! W-Will that happen?!" I shook my head. "I dont know...but I wanna prepare ourselves...(pant)...just in case it does happen." I continue punching the bag...I promised Sensei I will keep this team focused, now I need to protect them from harm.

I later go train in the meadow, but as I throw my daggers at a tree...I hear an unusual, hissing sound. I pull out my scythe in defense. 'Where are you snake?' I thought. I stayed quiet...just in case the noise came again...I heard nothing until an arrow whisked by me.

I growled, whoever this snake warrior is, he's messing with the wrong Ninja. I then see a figure dash past me, it was green, red, and white...now which kinda Serpentine tribe is that? I run after it, but its much faster than I thought it would be.

I finally corner it to a brick wall, and grin under my hood. "Couldn't hide forever now could you?" I say. The figure smiles, a wicked smile...I soon realize, this is no snake...its a...person. It shows itself as a tall man with smooth black hair, green clothes along with red and white, a pale face and...red eyes compared to Garmadon. Did he get bitten by The Great Devourer.

"You don't recognize me don't you?" he laughed. "Well I'll give you a hint..." He stabs me and the last thing I hear is him saying: 'Dev'
