The fog had cleared as Cole and Dragon come over to the campsite, carrying some fruit. "Guys?" Cole asked. "Hello? We've got dinner!" They soon stop. "Some weird vegetables, or fruit, or something like that."

"Where's the flying ship?" Dragon asked, discovering the remains of the Bounty were no longer there.

"That's not a good sign."

Dragon then points out to something. "What's that?"

Cole looks towards where Dragon was pointing and knelt down to pick it up. It was Gewuji's photo. "Gewuji's photo of Lloyd and herself."

Dragon soon turned left and knelt down to see something in the sand. "Tyre tracks." Cole turned to see Dragon soon pointing out to where they lead. "They lead this way."

As they look at the tracks, something moves in the sand, underneath Cole's feet. "Wah!" He jumped away and poised as Dragon came up behind him, only for an arm with a brace to come out, and see that it was Gewuji as she soon came out, covered in sand.

"Gewuji." They both said as they came up to her, and help her out.

"What happened?" Dragon asked.

"They ambushed us." Gewuji replied as she takes the photo from Cole. "I couldn't get a good look at them, but I was able to hide in the sand and didn't get noticed."

"They left tracks in the sand. We need to follow them." Gewuji nods, and they start following them.

"Where are you two going?" Cole asked.

"To find our friends." Looking at the food a little, Cole soon moves to catch up with them.


The following morning, in a building, Kai, Jay and Zane, all cuffed at the front and blindfolded, are forced forward by some very white skinned people in hunting gear. "Ooh, are we playing hide and seek?" Jay asked.

One hunter nudges Kai. "Get your mitts off me!" He yelled.

They all soon force them to get on their knees. "Careful." Zane said.

The hunters soon remove their blindfolds. "Lost... are we?" A white skinned figure with a top hat, yellow eye, left peg leg, left claw, and a staff, sitting at a throne, asked, causing the hunters to laugh at them, scaring them.

They were soon forced onto their stomachs before they look up. "His throne." Kai said, noticing that the throne is made from a dragon skeleton, but was unaware that it was none other than the Ultra Dragon itself. "I already hate him."

The top hat hunter then stood up, and limped over to them, tapping Zane's head with his claw. "They don't look as I imagined." The hunters soon laugh. "They look just like our slave." He soon turned to a hunter with very long unkempt hair, and a whip. (A/N: Imagine Bellatrix Lestrange's hair) "Where did you find them?"

"To the south." He said. "They were building a fortification."

"Uh, that's pretty generous." Jay replied, turning to his side to look at him before chuckling. "More like a rickety shack. But after losing everything, who the hell am I to complain?"

"Did he say you could speak?" A hunter with a straw hat and some sort of voice alternator asked as he forced Jay back onto his stomach.

The top hat hunter soon came up to Jay, who looks away. "We took them by surprise." A hunter with mechanical legs told him. "There is one more still out there, but there may be more."

The top hat hunter soon came in front of them. "Is this true?" He asked. "Are there more of your kind?"

"Our kind?" Kai asked.

"No, we're alone." Zane said, attempting to lie.

"We know there was a girl with you." A female hunter with a mohawk replied. "She may have somehow managed to slip through our fingers. But we will find her."

"You were probably imagining it." Jay said, lying. "We didn't have a girl with us. You know how the desert gets to you when you're hot. You see mirages."

"Oh, Wipedovith knows what he saw." She motioned her head to the hunter with the whip. "So does Heavy Metal." She then grabbed a nearby rucksack. "And tell us, who do these diapers belong to?" She gets out one of Dragon's diapers from the sack.

"Oh, those are Jay's." Kai said, lying to her, causing Jay to become shocked before Kai turned to him. "Tell 'em, Jay."

"Oh, I have a weak bladder." He said, lying, but the hunters soon laugh at them.

"See how they lie?" The top hat hunter asked before turning his back to them. "See their treachery? They cannot help it. It's in their nature."

"Do not reveal anything." Zane told Kai and Jay, referring to their Elemental Powers.

The top hat hunter then turned back. "But there is one whom you cannot deceive."

"Okay, now, take it easy there, Captain." Kai said. "Let's not do anything-"

"Throw the Oni into the pit!" Wipedovith and the hunter with mechanical legs grab hold of their chains, and pull on them, forcing them up.

"Slab knows." The hunters started to chant. "Slab knows."

"Oni?" Kai asked as the hunter with mechanical legs lead them out while Wipedovith was behind Zane. "You're making a mistake!"

"We are not Oni!" Zane desperately called out before Wipedovith swung his folded whip at Zane, hitting his left cheek.

"Move it!" He yelled, making Zane look forward.

"Okeydokey, off we go." Jay said before they are soon forced forward.

"Slab knows!" The hunters keep chanting as Zane looked at them. "Slab knows! Slab knows!"

Wipedovith soon forced Zane to turn around. "Eyes forward!" He yelled.


They exit the building to see that they were in a village that appeared to have badly made houses with white skinned people in hunting gear, who all stop and look at them, as Kai looked at a couple of them before they were forced further as Zane turned to see two white skinned hunters slamming mallets on a slab of metal before they glare at them until Wipedovith forces them forward. "They think we're Oni." Kai told Zane.

"I know, how funny." Jay sarcastically replied as he turned to them. "And here we thought they were Oni."

This distracted the hunter with mechanical legs making him crash into two hunters who were carrying a metal slab. They soon continue on as the three Ninja notice a red dragon in chains, being forced to breathe fire into a nearby tent while a hunter held a spear at it, and another was forging a weapon as they keep on going. "Their entire culture appears to be built around the hunting of dragons exploiting their Elemental Powers." Zane said as a hunter with a mask, and what appeared to be a slot machine on him, looks at them, mainly at Zane.

"Then it's a good thing we kept our identities a secret." Kai replied.

The hunter soon ran over to them, putting a hand on Zane. "Welcome to the Dead's End!" He said. "May I have your parts when you expire?" He lets go of Zane, nudging him at the same time.

"At least we know what to call this dump. But what do you make of this 'Slab'? And what's 'The Pit'?"

"Duh." Jay said. "It's most likely an arena. A brutal tradition, but exciting nonetheless." He lightly chuckles. "I, for one, can't wait!"

"Hey, hey, hey!" A nearby hunter calling out to another one as he came up to him. "What do you think-?" The hunter nudges him away before Wipedovith comes between them.

"Knock it off, or you'll both be without food again." He said before heading back to the Ninja, but the hunters resume arguing before Wipedovith turned back and swung his whip between them as a threat, making them stop.

"This isn't good, Jay." Kai said. "It's bad. And it's only gonna get worse."

"Aw, lighten up." Jay replied. "We're in an exotic realm, discovering new cultures, meeting interesting people."

"People who wanna fucking kill us, Jay!"

"Oh, boy." Zane said. "I believe Jay's mental state has made him useless to our plight."

As they move along, Kai sees a young man, around Nya's age, pushing a cart full of scrap, as a young kid was whipping him, and laughed as he was doing so. He had black rags on as well as very long dark brown hair, bright green eyes, a beard all the way down to his knees as well as the hair, and scars on his arms, hands, legs and feet. "They even have prisoners from our realm as well?" The young man stops and turns to see them before they notice the remains of the Bounty behind him. "Hey, that's ours!"

"Let's just hope Cole and Gewuji can rescue us from out of this mess."


On a hill overlooking the Dead's End, Cole, Gewuji and Dragon were on their stomachs to prevent themselves from being seen as Cole tries to use a piece of glass that Gewuji conjured to try and get a closer look, but it wasn't working. "They're headed towards that arena." He said before lowering it. "But I don't think they're going to see a show."

"Then we have to go in there and break them out." Gewuji replied.

"I second that, mother." Dragon said. "Come on!"

Before they could go, Cole holds them back. "Are you two crazy?" He asked. "The place is crawling with hunters and getting caught isn't on my to do list." He soon looked through the glass again. "We're gonna have to wait it out."

"Don't put off till tomorrow what can be done today."

"Uh? Did you-?" He turns to Dragon. "Did you just use my words against me?"

He soon smirked at him. "They were my words first, you just borrowed them."

"I'm not putting anything off." Cole looks through the glass again.

"Neither am I." Gewuji said. "He's probably trying to come up with a plan. What do you expect me to do?" Dragon gets out something out of his pocket and hands it to Gewuji, who takes it. To her surprise, it was a telescope. "Take them all on by myself?" She extends it to look through it. "When did you have this, anyway?"

"I borrowed it earlier." Dragon replied as Cole looked at them. "Like how Cole borrowed my wisdom."

Gewuji soon notices something. "There." She points to it as Dragon took the telescope and looks through it.

"Of course, clothes! We can use them. We can use disguises." He hands the telescope to Cole.

"Ah, I don't know." He said as he looked through it. "Disguises haven't worked out so good for me in the past." He soon notices Gewuji and Dragon through the telescope, having used his reluctance as a diversion to get down there. "Master Wu, Gewuji! Get back here!" He soon slides down the hill. "Guys!"
