Kai and the others gathered around in front of the grand palace, the dragons ready to take flight. Kai stepped up, beside his sister, Andrea, who looked anxious. "Alright, we've gathered round today for one very important reason...Cole. He was lured a few days back by the Serpentine, but it seems the plan backfired leaving him stranded in a deep and dark ditch, which is why I am sending out five groups of dragons to search for him down there, mostly of Earth, the rest will scan around for any Serpentine activity, as for us, we'll do the best we can to get our leader back here well and safe...are we ready?" Kai stated, enthusiastic.

The others nodded back at him, Kai rubbed his hands together, "Alright, lets move out!"

The Earth Dragons gave a loud, piercing roar and took for the skies, on their ways towards Ninjago, once reaching land, they burrowed deep beneath the ground. As for the rest of the dragons, they spread their wings and headed the same direction, in search for any mischievous snakes. Jay, Zane, Lily, Kai, and Andrea all hitched a ride on some Dragons as well, Lloyd wanted to come but Sensei made sure the boy stayed put. As Andrea rode on top of a dragon of darkness, the wind whipped her face, but she ignored the chill as a dark thought crept her mind. Its been long enough...has Cole managed to keep himself alive down there? I doubt there's any food sources down there...I hope he's ok... Kai, who was just soaring high above her, managed to notice her grim expression. "Hey, you ok?" he asked, in concern.

Andrea hesitated, not responding, she really didn't want to talk about her feelings, even if it was her brother. Kai however, took this as more reason to be worried and flopped down in his human form behind her, the dragon jostled as he landed but soon went back to course. Andrea hid her face as Kai asked again, "Sis, whats wrong?"

To this, she couldn't deny his question, her thoughts coming back to her, she sighed deeply and spoke, "I'm just...a bit, worried..."

Kai raised an eyebrow, confused, making Andrea have to clarify herself, "About Cole."

The fire ninja put a finger to his chin in puzzlement, Andrea groaned, "Look, he could get himself killed down there, or perhaps he might starve to death, you get my point?" Kai thought for a moment, he then smirked simply and chuckled, "Yes I do." Andrea narrowed her eyes at him, looking at him as if he had two heads, "What are you implying?"

Kai smiled kind of creepily, "You care about Cole, don't you sis?"

Andrea was insulted, she looked at Kai in bitter disgust, "W-What?!" Their dragon shook at her shouts, Kai even nearly jumped himself but retained his balance, but still, upon looking at his sisters face he could tell she was not amused. "I don't, I don't-not like that!" she sputtered, all of a sudden. Kai tried hard not to smile, but soon managed to refuse once Andrea pulled on a serious face, "I don't like him, moron...crazy..."

There was silence between them, and only the sound of the calm wind could be heard through the cold winter air, until Andrea decided to let go of her anger, she couldn't let her short-temper get the best of her, so she let her head drop, her eyebrows furrowed sadly. "Sorry," she muttered, "Its just...I could've helped him out, if it weren't for those snakes...I'm just...a bit worried about him, he's a friend...just a friend...nothing more..." Andrea looked down, her face dark and grim, Kai couldn't help but frown, he felt bad for pulling that up, he only said that to be a joke because it sounded more like they were close, turns out it was a big mistake. He put a hand on her shoulder, making her turn towards him at last, and she could see him exchange a weak smile. "I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have said that...its just I thought you two were close, turns out your just friends, huh...heh, oh well, but its alright to worry about him, I'm pretty anxious myself, but hey, Coles a tough guy, believe me, he'll pull through you'll see," Kai reassured.

That made Andrea relax, and she too exchanged a smile, her worry melting away in an instant. "Thanks, Kai...I needed that," she uttered. Kai found himself to smirk again, but they were both snapped back into reality by the call of Jay. "HEY!" he shouted. The two quickly turned towards the lightning ninja, who was on top of a Lightning Dragon, he looked dead serious, for once. "You've got to see this," he told them.

They swooped in for a landing right below them, Jay ran back to where he saw it, and soon enough he was able to show them all what it was. Everyone looked in shock at the scene, ahead they saw a group of Serpentine, at the edge of a gorge, they seemed to be muttering things. They all tried to hear in on their conversation, and managed to catch a few words...

The first scout was grumbling, "Pythor will surely be mad at thissss."

The second, a warrior, only humphed and looked down into the deep, dark gorge, "I agree...just yessssterday, thosssse two Mezmo'ssss were found dead, and it only sssseemssss one of the ninja had been lured into the trap, Skales doessssn't know what to do."

In an instant, the ninja knew they were talking about Cole. They continued listening, the first serpentine only walked away, coming to a halt, crossing his arms looking up at the sky in seriousness, "Sure he would be, who doesss he think Pythor isss, an idiot? Whatever, we've got to make sure the old sssnake doessn't behead us all."

"How do you sssusspect we do that, we couldn't posssibly ssstop death," hissed the warrior. The first serpentine looked back at him, "What do you think, idiot? We're going to go after the ninja oursssselves, then Pythor will decide what hisss fate will be."

The others gasped. The scout cracked a wicked smile, agreeing with his comrade, "Ohoohoo, I like the idea, but letss make sure itsss not a fake, like what Skales came up with, hehe." The warrior frowned, "Don't joke around, now letsss move, ninjasss are known for their ssspeed." The others watched as the two sneaks disappeared into the ditch, no doubt in search for Cole. As soon as they knew they were gone, they discussed. "Oh god, their going after Cole?!" Jay shrieked in panic.

"What were they speaking of, a plan of Skales being a fake?" Andrea pondered. Kai thought about that too, but he knew there was no point to speak of it now, their time was limited thanks to those two snakes, and if Skales or any other of the generals found out about Cole being in the ditch, they might become a threat as well. "Alright," he turned to the group of dragons, "all of you, fly alongside the others in search of any serpentine, we cant afford to have them beat us to Cole, so I'm counting on you to delay them as best you can, can you that?" The creatures nodded their heads and flew off individually, he then turned to the people in front of him, "As for us, we have to follow those two serpentine into the ditch, for Coles sake, if they get to him, who knows what fate will have in store for him? So we cant waste time, so you guys ready to go underground?"

They all smiled, Kai looked at Andrea, and she looked much ready as ever. The fire ninja smiled, "Let's go find Cole."

(Ahhh, finally! The seventh chapter is done! I REALLY had some time to think about this one, and I think this one came out great! So yeah, its finally Friday! WOOHOO! The weekend is finally here, time to party! X3 Anyway, it seems Andrea is having some concerns about Cole and his survival, (don't show her the last chapter) and Kai seems to believe their close, but she state their just friends...OR ARE THEY OUO. Suspense is killer as they say, and I cant refuse to that, but its true! I'll make sure the next chapter will fill you in on some suspense, but also it will be filled with some comical relief, like chapter 6, (some of you might've enjoyed that) and some of you might've felt sorry for Cole! I would feel sorry for him, I mean he nearly got eaten and he hasn't even eaten himself! God Mother Nature (Or Gaea for you PJO, and HOO fans), don't be so hard on Cole! Anyway, until next time, I hope you all have a FABULOUS Friday! (Pewds X3)
