A/N Don't kill me I've been enjoying my exam-free time. My writing has been on and off and I've been busy on Google Plus. Please enjoy this extra-long chappy.

Chapter 2:

The purple Serpentine that greeted Pythor and Jinxie was beautifully marked, as like the other Serpentine in other tribes. He had a shorter neck than Pythor but had the same coloured eyes as him. He had longer and thinner fangs than him and a leather breast plate tied on to him by iron chains. He wore brown shoulder pads with white spikes on him.

"Arcturus, its been an extremely long time." Pythor grinned, breaking the silence.

The purple snake, now identified as Arcturus chuckled deeply. It appeared he had a deep voice.

"Last time I saw you, you were only a hatchling, you've aged fast. How's the tribe?" Arcturus asked, identifying his two visitors.

Pythor sighed lowly. "All dead." A spring of shock waved through Arcturus' serpent features. "How? We are ruling Ninjago."

"The five tribes started warring with each other. We were locked in five separate tombs. Our tomb lacked food and we all starved. We were forced into cannibalism and I was the sole survivor."

Jinxie tuned in and waited Pythor to repeat the story to Arcturus.

When Pythor was done she tuned into the conversation.

"You've had such a life story Pythor, you've done incredible deeds." Arcturus smiled.

"Why yes I have. But I have more important matters to discuss with you." Pythor said blankly.

"What about the human girl?"

"She is with me." Pythor said. "She has allied with me if I am not mistaken."

Jinxie shook herself from the mini aura she had in her head. She found herself facing the two different coloured Anacondrai. "If you ally with us, you must cut off ties with the human world." Arcturus said. "We will give you power, but you must not abuse it."

This was a hard choice for Jinxie. One wrong move and she will end up unhappy.

"I will ally with you." She said fast and should, clenching her left fist in nervousness.

"Very well then human, I have a warm bed waiting for you and a kettle full of lemon honey tea on the stove."

"Seriously who makes this kind of stuff its horrible." The orange-clad girl named Skylar whinged. Nya almost lectured her about being grateful, but it wasn't worth it, she hadn't stopped whinging since she arrived last night.

Nya was the first up on the ship, so out of the kindness of her heart she made breakfast for everyone so when they woke up, they had something to fill their hungry stomaches. Everyone else loved her cooking, she even got a compliment from her agitated brother saying this was the best breakfast he had since the passing of dear Zane.

"I made this Skylar. Out of the kindness of my heart, if you don't like it, make something else." Nya said. She was fuming over this ungrateful diva.

"Yeah my girlfriend made this." Jay piped up. Cole snorted. "Your girlfriend? Ha ha don't make me laugh."

The bickering had started again. Her brother had bit his lip to stop himself from yelling at them. She could tell he was sick of the current situation. Nya could tell by all his attempts to hold his anger in.

She nodded at him and he silently dismissed himself over the racket.

He went to his bunk room that he was sharing with Lloyd, Jay and Cole and sat down.

Ouch!

Something pricked his bare foot as he went to sit down. He lifted the pricked foot and there was no evidence of what pricked him.

Interesting

He thought as he inspected the foot for a wound. There was no sign of any wounds. For a prick that big and painful, you would expect for it to hurt and show a massive wound. Or at least bleed.

Meh. It's probably a splinter that fell out.

Kai thought to himself. Self-satisfied that it was nothing, he climbed on to the top bunk above Lloyd's and drifted off into deep sleep.

Anyways, what could be worse than a little splinter?

Jinxie awoke to the melody of bone against bone. Or what she thought it was.

Brown mesh sacks were being put down on the floor by the two whistling Serpentine she had allied with.

She got up as the two finished. Curious on the contents she asked, What's that? in a most cliche manner.

"Skulls of the dead Anacondrai." Pythor answered by a wet hiss. "Part of the plan."

Arcturus turned his head towards the human.

"Your supposed to laugh evilly if your evil."

Jinxie laughed. It needed serious working if she was on the dark side. "Not a very evil laugh." Pythor grinned.

"I'm still working on the kinks of that." Jinxie sighed. All three beings looked at each other and chuckled.

"If you are working on the kinks of that." Arcturus said. "You might be interested in assisting us on our next step of our plan. But I warn you, you may not like it."

"What is it?" Jinxie asked. Muscles in her stomach tensed up, ready to pounce on any danger.

"You must spend the night with your ninja 'friends' keep them distracted. We want a specific one distracted. I believe he is the red one."

"Oh I know him, he is sorta my boyfriend. Well not anymore since I'm evil." Jinxie sighed happily.

"Ok Jinxie. But keep him busy, he will be about 1.2 kilometres left of the front door tonight at 9:30p.m."

Jinxie raised an eyebrow in question. Pythor scowled in distaste. "How do you know that?"

"Ahh." Arcturus grinned while scratching is scaly chin. "I'm no ordinary Serpentine. I have very magical powers, I can give people a terrible burden to live with forever. I was the Serpentine's secret weapon during the Golden Era.

As Jinxie wandered through the forest hours later, she wondered why Arcturus wanted her to do all these preposterous things. Her life had changed dramatically in the past 24 hours, it was hard to believe a day ago she was snuggling in her boyfriends arms.

But now she was on the evil side, against him. She had to find him in the forest and keep him away from the hut while the two Serpentine carried on with the mission.

Deep down she wasn't wishing to harm Ninjago or the Ninja, just one person in particular, Skylar Grey. Years back she bullied Jinxie, and now it was time to avenge herself.

Wham!

Jinxie had bumped into a tall stocky figure. She has had enough bumping into people for a while.

The figure wore a lengthy black cloak with a hood. It was held together by a gold buckle, representing a dragon breathing fire. Jinxie was going to take a punt on who this mysterious person was.

"Kai, is that you?" She asked the figure, getting close to him. It chuckled with a raspy voice.

"How did you know?" He asked. Kai did not sound well, he seemed very sick.

"Destiny brings true love together." Jinxie smiled.

Kai chuckled lightly. "It sure does."

Jinxie frowned, remembering her duties. "You don't sound well, is everything ok?"

"Everyone is fine." Kai sighed roughly as if he had a fly in his throat. "But I don't feel well. Sickening stomach aches. I feel heavy and weighed down."

Jinxie frowned at the ground. "Maybe your just bloated or something."

Kai coughed roughly. "It's not that." He pulled his hand out. It had tufts of thick grey hair on it and his fingernails were elongating into sharp claws.

Jinxie gasped. "Were you bitten? What happened?"

"No." Kai said strongly. "I have as much knowledge as you."

"I need to get you out of the moonlight before you get dangerous." Jinxie said. "I know just the place."

Kai nodded from under his hood. Jinxie's plan was clear in her head. She was going to take Kai to the hut. She would have him as a 'prisoner' but she would care for him, being a werewolf would mean life would change dramatically.

Kai was the only human she cared about. She hoped Pythor and Arcturus would be oblivious to her feelings. Now the hard part came, telling the ninja of fire her plan.

"Kai I need to fess up." The ninja of fire turned to her. "Go on with it." He growled. He couldn't help it, he was slowly turning into a vicious beast the longer they were out there.

"I'm working for Pythor and another snake called Arcturus. They are planning something and they are giving me power. Will you come with me to the hut and be my so called prisoner?"

"No!" Kai snarled. "I will not fall to evil."

"I'm sorry, it's the only way I can get revenge on Skylar."

Kai pulled off the hood on his cloak. "I still don't accept it."

"Kai! Don't." Jinxie yelled. She was in the forest alone with a man about to transform into a werewolf for the first time.

"Maybe it's for the best. I will teach you about messing with evil." Kai growled. His head was lengthening into a wolves one.

"But don't your love me!" Jinxie exclaimed. Kai bared his teeth, his canines were shaping into inhumane ones.

"I don't love anyone who is evil." He growled. His back arched and his arms were expanding.

"Kai, put that hood back on! You don't know what you are doing!" Jinxie yelled. This was getting too dangerous. She turned to flee. She heard a sickening howl.

She turned around. There before her was Kai, or should I say a fully-fledged werewolf. It was about 6.5 feet tall and its back was arched.

Kai's clothes were torn after being expanded too much over his new half-human half-wolf body.

His now green-ish yellow eyes now locked on to her. His fur was a cold grey. His hands were thick, very much like paws and they had massive sharp claws.

The most dangerous part of him was his razor sharp teeth. One bite from him might cause you to bleed to death.

Kai shrieked, unhappy about the stillness about the situation. It was run and die or die. Why was life so frighteningly difficult at the present situation.

He slowly stalked towards her, she was his prey, she knew she was dead now.

If she ran away, she would be out beaten by the terrifyingly huge and muscular arms and legs. He roared, it sounded fairly close to the roar of a blood thirsty dragon. That only sent cold and painful shivers through her body.

She was so close to death she could feel its icy breath breathing down her neck. It was slightly hair raising and made her feel sick in the stomach.

Whoosh!

Something incredibly sharp just scraped her ear and hit the advancing werewolf in its hairy torso. It let out an unearthly shriek and went limp. Jinxie turned around to find the source of it and saw a familiar white serpent hold a dart gun. It grinned with satisfaction.

"That's one beast taken care of. He will be useful in our army. Just wait until the day comes." Pythor said smoothly, rubbing his purple clawed hands together.

"An army?" Jinxie asked, raising a perfectly curved eyebrow. Relief had filled her when she saw Pythor.

"Ahh yes I can finally tell you what Arcturus and I have been working on." Pythor grinned wider. "We've captured about 220 men."

"Why have you done that?"

"The skulls you saw earlier this morning, they will go over the men's head as a mind-control thing. They will become slightly snake-like and they will be immune to the Orange Ninja's powers." Pythor smirked with satisfaction, Jinxie had never seen him so satisfied.

"What powers does Skylar have?" Jinxie asked. Questions about her enemy flooded her head.

"She has this power called Life. She can control any life by looking at them in the eyes. Has more complexity than a Hypnobrai's powers. Very dangerous, that's why we have the skulls."

"I suppose Arcturus is fixing them up as we speak." Jinxie said.

Pythor chuckled lightly as he dragged the limp Kai-wolf. "You have fantastic guessing."

More questions flooded the young woman's mind. "Do I have any control over them?"

"Yes you are the General. We (the snakes) have power over them, but you give the orders. We have a present along with that waiting at the hut."

Pythor and Jinxie did not have to walk very far to get back to the hut. Jinxie was very excited about the gift Pythor was going to give. Her mind exaggerated all the possibilities of the gift. Was it some sort of crown, a symbol of authority?

She watched as the limp wolf was being dragged by Pythor. Once Kai was awake and not a wolf, maybe she could talk to him. She was deeply wounded emotionally by the events that happened in the past half an hour. She was half-expecting him to forget about it.

She also felt slightly for the team. Skylar must be a pain to deal with. She felt sorry for Lloyd, Jay and Cole as their team was slowly crumbling, death of Zane and the loss of Kai.

Pythor came to a halt. She looked upwards and 220 men wearing snake skulls looked at her. They were all shirtless, with snake tattoos on their bare torso. They all wore torn purple pants and some wore shoulder armour like Arcturus, who was standing there with an evil grin.

"I present to you the Anacondrai tribe." He said. Pythor nodded at Arcturus. "Bring the staff!" He ordered.

One of these new Anacondrai brought a golden staff to Jinxie. It had a golden hissing cobra winding around it. Under its mouth was a glowing purple gem with a fang symbol on it. Jinxie stared at her staff in awe, it looked incredible.

"This is an incredible piece of art." She said, it was still mystifying her.

"Indeed it is." Arcturus said. "All five tribes have one of these staffs. It's given to the General as a symbol of leadership."

"That is so cool." Jinxie repeated.

"So tell me more about Jinxie nowadays," Skylar asked, taking a bite out of a newly prepared sushi roll. "I hear that she is very successful."

Jay looked across the dinner table at her and sighed. "Indeed."

The room had this sickly and miserable silence to it, just like the times just after Zane had died.

Nya was quietly swimming in her own thoughts. Cole was staring into space. Lloyd was listening to music. As for Kai, no one had seen him since he stormed off at breakfast.

Skylar frowned and stared at the patterns on her chopsticks, they had cherry blossoms on them. Quite pretty if I say so myself.

Nya was probably the only one thinking deeply in the room. Tonight she was going to choose the one that she was going to spend the rest of her life with.

Jay or Cole

Why was it so difficult to choose?

Jay had a great sense of humour. He loved creating wacky inventions. He always wanted to protect her and make sure she was happy. He had such an 'electrifying' personality (Pardon the pun).

On the other hand, Cole was a down-to-earth honest fellow. He was gentlemen and had the same heroic values as her. He was not really in the spot-light of the team all the time but he humbled himself.

This was going to be an awfully difficult situation. She got up and left for her bedroom, she needed to seriously think about this.

Skylar watched Nya get up. She looked crammed with thoughts. She took the opportunity to break the silence. It was time for good ol revelation.

"I know where Kai and Jinxie are, and your not going to like the sound of it." She said. The three other males turned their heads sharply and looked at her.

"How?" Lloyd asked. That was the first word he had spoken all day, a bit out of character for him.

"It's her powers." Cole spoke up. "Her element is unique. It's called Life and when she looks at living things she can control them or look into where they are."

"And you know where they are?" Jay teased

Skylar nodded. "Yes, it's rather distressing."

Lloyd turned his head on one side. "Distressing?"

"How do I say this." Skylar said. "Kai is a paralysed werewolf and Jinxie captured him and is the General of the Anacondrai."

"How-what-how-why-huh-excuse-me-is-this-possible-your-lying-right?" Jay said in such a blur. Lloyd giggled at his reaction.

"It's true Jay. For now all we can do is prepare an army to fight on The Day of Bones." Skylar sighed.

"What is The Day of Bones?" Cole asked. Skylar's knowledge was vast.

"A prophesied battle. It's supposed the end the Serpentine's war with each other forever. At the end of the battle, Destiny will choose one man, woman or Serpentine to be banished to the Dark Island for eternity."

"When is this day?" Cole asked again.

"It's in about a months time, the next full moon." Skylar muttered

"Hang on, we are forgetting the most important part, what about an army!" Jay yelled.

"That's going to be solved Jay, we get the four other Serpentine tribes to battle on our side."

"Ahem." A posh voice coughed. All four of them glanced at the door. A rather large white Serpentine by the name of Pythor stood there and grinned.

"I'm glad your preparing for the 'Big Day' but you know your should really give up." He smirked.

"Why would we do that." Lloyd stood up and growled lowly.

Pythor chuckled with an evil tone. "Unless you want someone special to be sacrificed to Destiny."

He pulled a limp body into the room.

"Kai!" They all yelled.

A/N Really bad cliffhanger. Guess I have to work in the kinks of that ;) Also thank you guys so much for all the reviews, they are amazing, I welcome everyone's opinion on this story (good or bad).
