The Serpentine were at peace beneath the city as usual, thanks to the chief Acidicus. He made sure that his people and the other tribes were at harmony with one another, so their was never a fight, and since they all worked as one, they all made sure the young ones were safe and protected.

However, today that was going to change.

As Skales Jr. was playing with his friends, the whole place shook, they began to get afraid. "Protect the young!" shouted a Venomari scout. The Serpentine scooped up their children, as well as Selma scooping up her son, Skales Jr. "Mommy, whats going on?" he asked anxiously.

"I don't know, but I'm sure your father is going to take care of it," Selma stated.

The generals all came towards the entrance, standing their ground, prepared to defeat whatever came next. Acidicus joined them, ready to strike. However, they weren't all thrilled to find who came through that door.

But they weren't ignorant either, for once they caught a glimpse of the Anocandrai, their mouths all dropped in shock. Electro walked in, smiling smugly at his once comrades. The generals all stared at him, their mouths agape. "P-Pythor?" Skales stuttered.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen," Electro hissed, "How nice it is to see you again, however the last time I saw you four I believe we were, a team?"

Skalidor spat in disgust, "How dare you ssssay such a word? Even when you were the one to betray usss!"

Electro shook his head, "Oh no, no no, I believe it was you who betrayed me."

"Issss that ssso?" Skales spat. Electro turned to the Hypnobrai, he went towards him, his eyes showing hatred. "Skales, Skales, Skales...why didn't you choose to come with me in releasing the beast? I dare say you would've been my second in command for all eternity," he hissed.

Skales looked at his electrified form, he then looked into his eyes and growled, "Not if we were doing it the wrong way, the Devourer wassss ussssed to sssscare the ssssurface dwellerssss! Not to devour them whole!"

"Well it would've been much better that way! We could've ruled like kings!" Electro spat.

"Enough!" Acidicus yelled, everyone soon grew quiet. The Venomari stared at Electro with such anger, "Now I believe I did banish you away from thisss place, wouldn't it have been much more better if you had obeyed?"

"I do not take orders, from a fault ruler," Electro hissed through gritted teeth. Acidicus froze at the insult, he then glanced behind the Anocandrai noticing the net, "What do you have behind you."

Electro glanced back at his net to find his two prisoners, Nya and the Falcon, he gave a smug grin, "Oh just my two pathetic hostages that were stupid enough to get captured." Nya growled at him. Electro slithered past Acidicus, the generals all looked after him, "Now if you excuse me, I must take my place as ruler of all the Serpentine."

Acidicus planted his foot onto the Anocandrai's tail, Electro glanced back at him, "Would you mind releasing me."

"Your not ruler of the Serpentine, your banished," Acidicus hissed. Electro rolled his eyes, "Just let me go spitter."

Acidicus grit his teeth, "I demand that you leave now!" Electro came close to the Venomari, his crimson eyes wide and crazed looking, he got a grip on the staff Acidicus was holding. "I'm not going anywhere. I suggest you hand it over, Acidicus." The Venomari glared back at the Anocandrai, "Never."

Electro grit his teeth, he threw the net containing Nya and the Falcon aside, making her give out an 'oof'. He let go of the staff and turned around, "So be it then."

The generals looked confused, but then got a shocking surprise when Electro unleashed his power, Fangtom, Skalidor, and Skales all fell, useless against his attack. Acidicus stood, in shock, he stared at the Anocandrai, but watched as his fists lit up once more. "Your turn," Electro spat. Acidicus dodged all he could, he was not about to let a traitor beat him and become ruler over the Serpentine, for all their sake. Electro was growing frustrated, "Make a move already!"

Acidicus smirked, "Fine." He lashed out at him, bringing him to the ground, he then got a grip of his tail and swung him about, causing him to fall hard against the stone walls. There was a chorus of cheers throughout the place, Acidicus bowed in respect, however, he did not see his foe recover. Selma was the one to notice, "ACIDICUS LOOK OUT!" But it was too late, the Venomari turned to find the Anocandrai's fists onto his head, causing a large electrical surge. Acidicus screamed, his head turning a blackish color. Once Electro felt he had had enough, he let him loose, allowing the limp Venomari general to fall, now dead. Nya watched in horror, as well as the Serpentine children. Electro smirked and grabbed the staff, just as the other generals came to. They all glanced at Acidicus in horror, and then at the crazed Anocandrai.

"Y-You...Y-You," Skales began.

Electro planted his staff in front of him, "You all, belong to me. NOW BOW BEFORE YOUR RULER ONCE AGAIN!"

The generals didn't want to do it, but seeing the defeat of their chief, they had no choice. All Serpentine bowed before Electro, he roared with laughter, "Now you all have finally come to your senses." He then glanced at his two hostages, he scooped up the net they were in. "Looks like I win." Nya could only spit at him. Electro wiped his face and grit his teeth, "Lock her up." He tossed the net to two Venomari scouts, but before they took Nya away, he took out the Falcon, who struggled against his grip, "Not this little birdbrain, I have plans for him."

As Electro slithered off to do his evil bidding, Nya was taken away to a dungeon, though she could not help but feel worried for what was to become of the others if this did not end well.

(Well that's just great, now Pythor has taken over the Serpentine! What's next?! Oh yeah, right, the Falcon is in a load of trouble, and with Jay about to train for his element, and Nya in captivity, he has a lot to compromise. Wonder what's gonna happen next?
