In Jay situation, looking panic for his teammates, still disbelieving because Cole left them for dead. "Oh no, who should I save?!" The closest was Zane on his range. But Kai. . . Therefore, Jay went to Zane and reeled him with all his strength. Kai watched Jay went to Zane support. Didn't feel any sympathy for his fall into the trap. Instead he care for his best friends safety. Slowly losing contact on the spikes, he braced himself.

"Kai! I'll get Zane first safety and then you!" Jay shouted as he tugged Zane right arm into the outside of the ring.

"I don't think you will make your way to Kai on time." Zane stated, calculated the timing and the prospect saving Kai. Due to lack of a missing member, the total success was minor. Kai was on his last finger tips. He shut his eyelids, ready what lies ahead into the abyss. Thinking about his team, Wu, and his precious sister Nya. Kai is now falling as he close his eyes. Didn't want to see light flashing before his eyes.

"Kai!" Jay yelled, eyes widen.

"No!" Zane yelled as him and the Lighting Ninja froze. It's not true. Was it too late?

Until, that is, Kai suddenly stop his fall. Instead of feeling rope tied onto his waist. Hurts feeling a thin grapple squeezing his waist. He looked up, eyes widen, someone saved him was Cole using a grapple hook wrapped around the Fire Ninja waist. Nearly saving his life.

"Cole!" Kai said, surprised seeing his leader upon returning to save his teammates. He was sure it was him. Knowing his corrupted side of his ditched him. He knew the distinguish differ from his best friend and the cold heart enemy rather demising them into the death trap.

"Ngh... Kai, you put... on weight." Cole said wryly as he reeled the grapple hook with his bare hands. The Black Ninja clad somehow cannot pull Kai fully from the death trap. Still weaken but he has regain his strength from the corrupted side of his.

Out of nowhere, the Serpentine those survived, rushing towards the Ninjas with a mighty roar. Jay managed to reel Zane fully to the safe zone. Both slipped into fighting stance while they charge. But few of the snakes went after Cole, who is holding Kai onto his dear life. In instant, Cole focuses the tension coming on his contrary ways. Thinking a plan, finally he glanced at the Statue.

"Jay! Go Ngh... go pull the plug to fix the arena! Zane, Ngh... help me pull Kai." Cole commanded his teammate in snap. The Ice and Lightning Ninjas obey and rushed into action with their leader command.

Zane performed spinjitzu, colliding into the horde of snakes with no problem. While performing tornado of pure icy wind, hurling silver shurikens at the snakes. Few collapsed to their knees and meeting the floor. Zane finally catches to his leader and helped him, pulling his Fire Ninja brother. But the remaining Serpentine rushing towards the trio as they almost take Kai to the safe area.

Until their time was spared once the snake arena flipped over and return back to its original flat surface. Enough time to fight off the snakes. Zane waved to his fellow teammates. Until he gasped when one of the rouge rushed behind them, wielding their weapons angrily.

"Watch out behind you!" Zane shrieked.

Before they react, or even Cole, the Constrictai use a mace on his grasp and swing it to Jay's right shoulder harshly. Jay screamed in agony as he felt a strong force of heavy steel smashing to his shoulder. "JAY!" Jay trembled back; his friends eventually caught him. Kai grit his teeth and charged to the Constrictai and kicked him harshly, sending him flying and hit the wall in impact. He finished his part and rushed back to his fallen brother. Cole wanted to help but feeling slow and weak.

"Is he alright?!" Kai shouted loudly. Wasn't sure if he's alive, but his tone causing Jay to wince in his slumber.

"Yes," Zane replies "he is unconscious. But badly damaged on his shoulder causing him to collapse." To his relief, Jay is alive. Mission accomplish for saving Cole.

"Urg... come on guys, let's go home. I've had it for today's event." Cole announced, drowsy in the same time. Zane walked to Cole and give him a helping hand while Kai aided unconscious Jay, slinging his limp arm over his neck. That really hurt Jay tender body with a mace. He leaned to his leader and whispered "I sensed your corrupted heart has... expelled. What happened?"

"When I saw you guys going to fall in, I fight my way through. My other side void to help you guys." Cole explained with a same tone as Zane. Zane smiled and said "I am glad you are back, brother."

"I am glad to be back commanding my team again." Cole replied. He had run out of steam. He finally is in safe hand and fell unconscious.

"Guys, let's go home and fix you guys up. I don't want to stay here long enough where full of Serpentine are crawling around." Kai said, scrutinizing his surroundings, actually he was telling the truth that the snakes have gone limp and only way to travel is to crawl laying on their belly. Literally, they are snakes that grow legs! Now they can 'slither' like a real snake! Luckily they are far reached from the Ninjas.
