A/N: Here you go. Mysterious caller revealed!

Nothing else to say... Other than "Enjoy!"

Part 2- The Serpent's Revenge

Lloyd glanced around. The others were hiding atop a sand dune behind him, but he wasn't even sure where he was supposed to be, much less what the villain wanted from him. Then the Green Ninja saw him. A hooded figure, wearing mostly violet with some black and white highlights.

"I was afraid you wouldn't show," he said. "Then again, you were always so predictable."

"You don't scare me," Lloyd declared.

"Oh, spare me the hero drama," the figure chuckled. "You wouldn't be saying that if you hadn't brought your four little friends."

Lloyd placed a hand over his heart. "Ouch, man," he said. "That actually hurt."

"Oh, I know how to get to you," the figure said, pulling his hood back. "Old chum."

"Pythor!" Lloyd exclaimed. Pythor had already yanked Lloyd's feet out from under him, and was putting a cloth up to his face. Lloyd was unconscious in a matter of seconds.

"Good night, my old friend," the Anacondrai said to the unconscious Green Ninja.

The others charged him, Kai and Nya shouting battle cries.

"Really, how cliche," Pythor chuckled. "This is so overdone. You ninja just going and rushing at your enemies as if that would do anything. You have got to come up with some better strategies, like my new one. I knew you would follow him," Pythor gestured to Lloyd, "and so I prepared to take on all five of you."

"Dude, that hurts!" Kai exclaimed.

"You really need some better friends," Pythor said to Lloyd's figure. Turning back to the others, he said, "Fortunately, that is what I am doing. Simply reuniting him with an old friend. Ciao." And with that, he slithered away, taking Lloyd with him and leaving the other ninja standing bewildered behind him.

It took them only two seconds to realize that the "old friend" Pythor mentioned was Jay.

"He's gonna kill Lloyd!" Kai yelled.

"No he isn't," Nya whispered, pale-faced.

"Oh, and I suppose he's inviting Lloyd and the Overlord over for tea," Kai said.

Nya took a deep breath. "Long story short, Jay's alive."

A beat.

"JAY'S WHAT?!"

What used to be the Anacondrai tomb was coming into view just as Lloyd was coming to. His hands were, somehow, chained behind him with vengestone. He immediately started struggling.

"Oh, relax," Pythor sighed.

"Relax?!" Lloyd yelled. "How am I supposed to relax when I am being dragged to my death by one of my worst enemies?!"

"You are right about me being one of your worst enemies, but I have something better than death planned. You see, what I want is revenge. On you specifically. So, I figured, why not tourture you? Except the physical tourture has been done already. Oh, no. Mental tourture is so much more fun when it comes to you.

"And the best way to get to you, I realized, was through your friends. But which one to target, was the question. Earth is too strong. He could overpower me easily. Ice is too clever. Water and Fire, well, they'd die before I got my hands on them. That only left one."

"Jay…" Lloyd gasped. "But he's… he's dead. You can't hurt him."

"Hm? Oh, yes. Water does seem to have a thing for keeping secrets, now. Doesn't she?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You'll see," Pythor chuckled darkly. "And would you look at that. Here we are."

Pythor opened his tomb and threw the Green Ninja in. He landed on his stomach with a grunt.

"Lloyd?"

Lloyd turned his head to face the direction the voice came from. There, chained to a wall was the stranger. Lloyd remembered the clothes. It was the same stranger that held him and his team back from helping Nya what seemed like an eternity ago. Except his bandana was no longer covering his face.

Leaving Lloyd to recognize Jay in all the glory a crescent moon could give.

A/N: And so the ninja learn Jay's alive. CUE THE GOING OOC!

That'll come later, but seriously though.

Reveiw!
