Garmadon drummed his fingers upon the left arm of his throne, he was growing impatient, has his plan succeeded? Were the ninja subdued from their task?
So far, no skeleton has done its job right, and so Garmadon was forced to send the two boneheads, Kruncha and Nuckal, yet he very doubt they would accomplish anything with their stupidity and clumsiness. He had enough of the waiting and rose from his throne, "That's it!" The entire skeleton army turned to face him, he tone of voice rising along with his temper, "I have had enough of the waiting, I shall go stop them myself!"
The skeletons shook with fear, they groveled at his feet as he walked amongst them, despite his ignorance. He made his way to the farthest side of his throne room and thought of his next move, if he were to take down the ninja himself, how would he do it? His thoughts wandered until his eyes glanced above his throne to catch sight of the Staff of Dragons, his frown had quickly reformed into a wicked grin, anyone could figure what he was thinking. He strolled his way over to his throne again, and carefully reached for the staff. The skeletons watched him cautiously, Garmadon finally got a grasp onto the weapon, he could already feel its power surging through him, he chuckled, "Such power like this should not go to waste."
He then turned to his skeleton army, Garmadon glanced around the room, a mischievous look in his eyes, he chose a target and pointed the staff towards an individual skeleton, it quickly jumped at the sight of a ghastly ball of fire heading straight for it. The dark lord then turned to another skeleton and hit it, the skeleton shrieked and dissolved into nothing. Garmadon cackled, "Now that's more like it..."
"Sir?"
Garmadon turned to face one of the skeleton generals, he grit his teeth, he did not like to be interrupted, "Wyplash, would you care to explain why you interrupted my little game?"
"U-Uh, no sir," the general stuttered, "I, I came to inform you we have some guests."
"Guests?" Garmadon asked in disgust. Wyplash lead the villain to a certain part of the Underworld, and it so happens that what they saw was a large amount of Serpentine and their vehicles stacked in one big pile. Garmadon raised an eyebrow, "Well, what an unexpected drop in this was." Pythor climbed out of the rubble, once he caught sight of Garmadon he could only growl, "You."
"I see you still hate me, snake-breath," Garmadon stated, chuckling a little.
Pythor jumped off from the pile and came up to Garmadon, his almond-shaped pupils staring fiercely into his, "and I see you haven't changed at all, deviled one."
"Oh please, I'd been called worse," Garmadon said, rolling his eyes, he then got straight to the point, "So, why are you here, Pythor? How did you get in?"
"I was dropped, by a ninja, into a big dark ditch," Pythor joked, as if it were obvious. Garmadon raised a brow, Pythor rolled his eyes, "Lets say I ran into an old enemy, tried to win, it didn't go well."
"I can see that," Garmadon responded, almost as an insult. Pythor glared at the dark lord and then eyed the staff he held in his hands, it caught his attention entirely, "Where did you get that?"
Garmadon glanced at the staff, then at Pythor, he smirked, "Its a secret, yet don't let it's simple appearance fool you, its very powerful, and it just might destroyyou." The Anocandrai immediately kept his desperate fingers away from the weapon, Garmadon chuckled and paced around him in a circle, Pythor was still curious as to why he had such a weapon, especially if it resembled so much of the ninja's golden weapons.
"How did you get your hands on...that?" the snake asked, curious.
"The only way I could, fool," Garmadon stated, "I stole it."
"Why is it gold?" Pythor questioned.
"It's one of the Golden Weapons, made by my father." Garmadon responded.
Pythor looked puzzled, "But, I thought there were only four-"
"There are many things you do not know, snake," Garmadon snapped, pointing the staff at Pythor's neck, "Such as what am I to do to you if you don't leave this place at once."
The Anocandrai simply raised his hands in truce, "Slow a bit down, Garmadon. I don't believe that will be the right choice now would it?"
"Do you have any idea what this weapon is capable of? Do you have any idea how much power it possesses?" Garmadon growled, his temper rising. Pythor lowered his hands, he did not want to be killed, and certainly not by Garmadon, yet he believed he could do him a favor, or at least...make a deal? So the snake smiled and looked Garmadon in the eye, "I have a better idea."
Garmadon looked at him with suspicious eyes, "Excuse me?"
"I just thought it would be better for both of us if we side together, then it would be better for both of us, you know, like normal friends," Pythor spoke. Garmadon narrowed his eyes at the Anocandrai, he was a little confused at what he meant by 'friends', he didn't trust his tactics and he certainly did not trust Pythor himself, so what good would he do for him?
"How could I be friends with you? For one thing, you took my son and let him plummet to his death in the heart of a Volcanoe, do you really think that's what friends do?" Garmadon snarled.
Pythor thought back to that, and raised his hands again, as if to say sorry, "Yes, I know it was wrong and I...er, apologize for my mindless behavior, so stupid of me to threaten your boy, and I promise, no harm will come to him, as long as we stick as pals...what do you say?"
Garmadon pondered at what he was implying, "What's in it for me?"
Pythor thought about it, he then smiled, "I could do a simple task for you, a favor perhaps?"
The dark lord took this time to think about it, it would be nice to have some assistance from a fellow enemy of the ninja to aid his need, and maybe this time, he will be the one to rule, and those ninja would only be nothing but forgotten history. Garmadon smiled and nodded, "Fine then. It's a deal." Pythor smiled and held out his hand, "I'm so glad you agree with me." Garmadon in turn held out his hand as well to seal the deal.
They shook on it.
(It seems now Garmadon has teamed up with the Serpentine! How troubled are the ninja now? Also, where is that woman taking Kai? Will Zane make it to the others in time before Garmadon and Pythor gets to them all? You will all find out the answers to these questions in the next pilot episode: Wings of Fire! (coming probably tomorrow or the day after).
