In a snowy place which is the Glacier Barrens, Cole, wearing a black fur coat over his gi and his hood over his head looked at his piece of paper with a symbol of the Hypnobrai on it. "That archaeologist was such a fool to find a Serpentine tomb." He said as he kept going forward before finding a big tile, lifted up. "This must be it. And I seemed to be too late. But, worth a look." Cole gets out a grapple and rope before grappling part of the entrance before throwing the rope down into the tomb and climbs down it. "If there's anything I hate more than dragons, it's snakes."

In the tomb, Cole comes down to the bottom and lands on the icy ground before turning around to see the interior of the tomb. It was like a big battlefield with many weapons made of ice hanging on some hooks that are also made of ice. "You are out of your mind to venture s-s-so far away from home, young man." A voice called out.

Cole immediately got out his scythe and looked around as he moves along the tomb. "Where are you? Show yourself!" Soon, a blue snake with yellow and white markings as well as arms revealed itself while holding a staff.

"A ninja. This is-s-s all they s-s-send?"

"Oh man." Cole nervously holds his scythe close.

"Look into my eyes-s-s! Give up your mind. I will control you." The snake soon widened its eyes and clear spirals appear out of them. Cole quickly moved out of the way as he soon poised with his scythe, the Hypnobrai snake did the same with it's staff. "S-s-show me what you got, ninja."

Cole swung the Scythe of Quakes at the snake, who moves out of the way as Cole soon slipped on the ice and fell as the snake tried using it's hypnotic powers again, but Cole quickly rolled out of the way and struck it with his scythe, making it let go of the staff before the snake spun, making Cole lose his scythe before he gets up to slide across the icy floor, get up and grabs a katana made of ice from the weapon rack. "Bring it."

"I s-s-shall." The snake poised and moved its fingers back, beckoning Cole to come before he soon charged at it. Cole swung the ice sword, which the snake dodges before it slithers up the the weapon rack and grabs a broadsword made of ice. "En guarde."

Cole ran at the snake, who raised his sword to strike, but Cole blocked it before counter striking, but the snake quickly blocked it as Cole backed away and as the snake blocked another strike, Cole quickly went down on his knees to avoid a strike from the snake and slides across the ice ground before getting up behind the snake. "Nailed it." Cole soon quickly blocked the snake's sword again before raising his left leg, knocking it's arms and swung his sword upward, striking the snake across its left eye, but the eye was not damaged.

The snake hissed as it felt blood coming from the wound and immediately raised it's sword as Cole raised his to try and block it, but the snake move his sword down, not only hitting Cole's sword, but breaking it in half. Cole looks at his broken ice sword before the snake soon moved it's tail around Cole's legs, restraining him. "Now, look into my eyes-s-s!" The Hypnobrai snake used it's hypnotic powers once again, finally hitting Cole as his eyes soon turned red. But Cole quickly kicks it in the face before grabbing his scythe and struck it, knocking it down before running for the rope.

"Nice knowing you." He starts climbing up the rope.

"You will obey, ninja." It's eyes soon spiral as it sees Cole's point of view of him leaving the tomb.

At the same time, in a forest, called the Forest of Tranquility, Jay, with his hood on, moves along, looking at his piece of paper. "Where is that stupid tree trunk?" He asked himself as he kept looking around. "I hope I'm in the right place."

"Jay?" A woman's voice was heard.

"Oh no." He turned around to see an elderly couple, both wearing safari gear and carrying hiking equipment. He soon removed his hood. "Hi, mom. Hi, dad."

"Oh, Jay, what brings you out into the forest, sweetie?"

"What about you?"

"Oh, your mother and I thought a hike might suit us." The elderly man said. "Besides, being around a junkyard is not much."

"So, how have you been?" Jay's mom asked as she came up to him and held up his hands, knelt down to his legs and feet and looked at his face. "You look pretty well, I hope you've been eating your vegetables."

"Mom!" Jay replied, embarrassed.

"Now, answer us, what brings you here?"

"I'm looking for this tree stump, said to be the location of the Fangpyre tomb." Jay shows them the piece of paper.

"Oh, we just passed it, we can backtrack and take you there."

Several minutes later, they come up to a tree stump, but it was tilted back as Jay and his parents soon saw it. "Strange, it wasn't knocked over when we passed it." Jay's father said.

"Are you sure, Ed?"

"I'm positive, Edna."

"Those Anacondrai must've been here." Jay said.

"Anacondrai?" Ed asked.

"The Serpentine are being freed because of them." Jay soon stuck his head in. "Did you two bring a flashlight?"

"Oh, here, sweetie." Edna said, handing Jay a blue flashlight and he takes it.

"Hey, this is my flashlight."

"Oh, well, my battery died and yours was just laying about when you moved out, so I decided to bring it with us." Jay soon turned the flashlight on and started looking down it. The bushes soon start rustling nearby and a red snake with white markings, arms and two heads, holding a staff came out. "Jay!"

Jay quickly emerged to see the snake about to go for Ed and Edna, opening their mouths and prepared to bite the couple, but Jay quickly got up and jumped between them, resulting in the snake's right head biting underneath Jay's right arm and the left head biting his right leg. Jay screamed as he soon slammed his arm with metal protective gear into the snake's two heads and lands as the snake backs away. "You got lucky, Blue Ninja." The snake's right head said.

"But you'll soon be one of us." The snake's left head said before it soon fled, chuckling.

Jay groaned as he felt blood seep from his bite wounds as it also started staining his gi. "Oh, Jay!" Edna yelled as she and Ed knelt down to him. "You're bit!"

"I feel strange." He said as he slowly gets up as his parents also help him up, revealing he is growing some fangs. "You gotta take me to the Sea of Sand. There's an archaeologist that might know what's going on with me."

"Okay." Ed replied as they start moving along. "Well, luckily, the old jalopy is nearby."

"Just hang on, my little ninja." Edna said.

At the same time, at a mountain, Zane had just gotten up the 250,000th step of the Mountain of a Million Steps before stopping to have a sip of water. "So, that is why they call it 'The Mountain of a Million Steps'." He said, putting the lid back on his bottle. "I can't keep walking up, so I'll have to run." Zane starts running up the mountain, coming halfway up the mountain before stopping to catch his breath and looks at the view from the 500,000th step. "I can see half of Ninjago from here."

He soon resumed running up the mountain, passing a man, wearing glasses, a large straw hat and mailman's outfit, some stones hitting him as Zane did so. "Whoa!" He yelled, cowering from being hit by the stones before looking at the spot Zane ran past. "Watch where you're going!"

Zane soon came up to the top and breathes heavily, getting out his bottle, undoes the lid and throws it away before chugging it down. He soon sees it is a quarter empty and pours the rest over his head before throwing it away. He soon found a rope nearby, leading down into the tomb and starts going down it. "Looks like they were already here."

Inside the mountain, Zane lands on the ground, gets out a flashlight and looks around. "Hmm. I must have been too late." He soon moved along the tomb and notices a mural. "'If they unite, they must find four silver Fangblades that will unleash the Great Devourer. An evil that will consume all of the land, turning day into night.'"

Zane keeps looking at the murals before rumbling was soon heard and he quickly got out his shurikens before looking around. Pretty soon, a black snake with orange markings emerged from the ground and moved it's tail around Zane. "I've been waiting for you." The snake said. "Pythor and Raiden send their regards."

"So, their names are Pythor and Raiden."

"Uh oh."

"So, you stayed behind to tell me that? Pathetic!" Zane managed to get one of his legs freed and kicks the snake in the head, loosening its grip on Zane as he soon got out the flute and started playing it. His vision starts to fade so he holds in a big breath and plays the flute more.

The snake started screaming at it tried to cover its ears. "That noise!" Zane soon got free and soon kicked it, knocking it out.

"If he was expecting me, I think the others are walking into a trap." He got out the piece of paper. "The Toxic Bogs are the closest. I gotta warn Kai!" He heads for the rope and starts climbing it.

In a swamp, Kai moves along it as he pinches his nose. "The Toxic Bogs." He said to himself as he picks up a green stick and dunks it into the bog, causing it to sizzle and gets it out to look at the burnt end. "This stuff'll eat through me worse than Cole's chilli." He throws it away as he came up to a tree that was actually hollow and sees a part of it open. "Oh no. I'm too late. I better get back to Dr. Yost and tell him the bad news."

But as he turned around, a green snake with black, red and white markings soon appeared behind him, shocking him. "Surprise." It said before spitting green acid into Kai's eyes, turning them completely green.

Kai turned around to see more of the Venomari and some Constrictai coming up to him, but the acid starts taking effect to his eyes, making him see elves and gingerbread men. He soon crouched in fear. "There's so many elves and gingerbread people everywhere! I'm toast!"

Soon, there was sounds of a motorbike as everyone turns to see Zane appearing. "Ninjago!" He yelled, moving up a ramp, flying into the air before the bike turns back into the Shurikens of Ice and throws them into the ground. The moment they hit the ground, ice forms around them quickly, freezing the Venomari and Constrictai as Zane lands and grabs the shurikens. "Kai! Kai!"

"Zane, are they gone?"

"No, we have to get out of here!"

"Why?"

"This must have been a trap!" But as Zane helped Kai up, they turn to see a couple of long purple snakes, who come up to the two Ninja. "So, you must be Pythor and Raiden."

"That idiot Skalidor must have told him." Raiden, the black eyed snake said with a feminine voice.

"Don't worry, my appetising sweet, they won't be around for long-" Pythor, the red eyed snake with a male voice was soon cut off as Zane got out the flute and tried to play it, but he quickly grabbed it with his tail. "No. Let's not let music ruin things." He soon threw it into the bog, which the water dissolved it. "You see, we both haven't eaten ever since we had cannibalised the last Anacondrai two weeks ago, so I hope you two will taste better than their flesh."

But soon, there was sound of a thruster as they turned to see a mech with a person, dressed in a red and pink samurai suit inside it. "A samurai!" Zane yelled. "Let's get going while he's distracting them."

Zane throws his shurikens and they turn into the bike before he grabs Kai, they both get on and drives away as the snakes start moving for the samurai. "You fools, they're getting away!"

"Anacondrai targets confirmed." The samurai said, opening the hatch on the mech and fires a dart into Raiden, causing her to scream as Pythor soon caught her and removed the dart.

"Retreat!" The Constrictai starts digging away while the Venomari dive into the bog and Pythor flees with Raiden under his arm. "Don't worry, sweetie. Py will take care of you."

The samurai opens up a component, revealing that the dart was a way to plant a beacon. "Tracker online." He said before he soon closed the hatch and took off.
