The citizens nearby see Skylor and Geoff, who are now Anacondrai. "Serpentine!" One woman yelled. They started screaming and ran away from them.

Geoff quickly got off and came in front of the dragons. "Wait, it's not-" He was cut off as they kept running and he sighed.

"I wish I still had the power to change." Skylor said, placing her hands on her eyes as Lloyd and Oni came up to them as Gewuji got off her dragon, which soon dispersed.

"You have changed." Kai replied. "You're with us now."

Horn honking was heard as Kai looked to see the dragon was blocking an elderly woman inside her car. "Could you be a dear and move your dragon?" She asked. The dragon moves one leg aside and the car drives off. "Thank you, young man."

Pretty soon, sirens were heard nearby. They look to see two police cars stop near them. They open and Clive and Wilhelm get out, aiming their guns at them. "NCPD!" Clive yelled.

"Hands in the air, Serpentine!" Wilhelm yelled.

"Clive, wait!" Kai yelled as he and Skylor come down from Kai's dragon, which soon dispersed, before moving in front of them. "They're our friends."

They see Geoff and are immediately shocked. "Geoff, what happened to you?" Clive asked.

"Long story." Geoff replied.

"If we're the first ones they've seen, where's Chen and why hasn't he attacked?" Oni asked.

"We have get you, Geoff and my father off the streets before we alarm everyone." Lloyd said to Skylor before looking up at the Elemental Masters. "Everyone else, stick together and watch over the people!"

They soon fly off as Geoff and Skylor feel something before Skylor looked at her left hand, returning to normal as if no tear had occurred on her gi. Geoff saw his right one returning to normal as well with his sleeve returning. "The spell, it's not permanent." He said.

In an abandoned subway station where the Anacondrai Cultist had set up camp, Chen sees his arm returning to normal and his sleeve no longer torn. "Why is the spell wearing off?!" He asked. "If we attack now and turn back to normal, everything will be for nothing!"

"About that." Chope said as he and Kapau look at the spell which was taped back onto the book with tape. "We've read everything on page 149, but lo and behold, the spell continues onto the next page." He turns it to page 150 to show him.

"You slithering klutzes!" He swipes the book from them. "What have I told you about attention to details! I knew I should have had Heianmofa read the spell. 'In order for the transformation to become permanent, one must obtain the essence of a true Anacondrai'. Where the hell are we supposed to get that?! There aren't any real Anacondrai left!"

"If there's any out there we'll find it." Kapau said as they take off.

"There's another problem, master." An Anacondrai said as he came up to Chen. "The Ninja and their friends have arrived."

"Oh, why must conquering Ninjago be so ****ing difficult?! Fine, we change plans. It's not like I don't have something else up my sleeve."

"And what's that, master?"

"This!" He throws the book at him. "Now, come on, we have some scheming to do."

In Blake's Samurai X cave, the Ninja, Blake, Oni and Skylor enter as Zane's falcon came up to him and he holds an arm out to let it perch. "And hello to you, my old friend." He said as they move along.

"Oh, you're all back." Dragon said as he and Misako turn to them. "Zane! Look at you! You're all...shiny." He laughs before seeing Blake. "Blake! Wow, that's a new look for you. You've got a beard and grown some muscle."

"Have I really?" Blake asked, flexing a muscle and feels the bicep.

"Nya, that looks great on you."

"Thanks, master." Nya said.

"And, I see two new ones."

"I'm Gewuji, Geoff's sister." Gewuji said. "Master of Glass."

"And I'm Magna, Master of Magnetism." Magna said.

"But where is Geoff and my husband?" Misako asked.

"We're here." Geoff replied from behind the others as they back away.

"It's me, Misako." Oni said as Misako gasped.

"Don't worry." Skylor said. "We have reason to believe the spell may be wearing off."

"But if that's true, it only makes Chen more desperate to act now." Kai replied.

"This is Skylor, Chen's daughter." Geoff said to Dragon and Misako. "And, master, Gewuji and I are children of the traitor from the First Serpentine War."

"I know, and I forgave her, through you two." Dragon replied.

"Well, Skylor, you're amongst friends." Misako said.

"Thank you for looking after my Misako." Oni said to Dragon.

"As any good brother should." Dragon replied.

"Yes, a good brother." He soon tilted his head down.

"What is it?"

"The letter-"

"There isn't much time." Lloyd cuts him off as he went up to the console. "Our friends are on standby, but we don't know where Chen will strike first."

"And if we're not all there to stop him when he first attacks-" Cole was cut off as they all came up to the console.

"-Ninjago will succumb to war." Geoff replied.

"Our greatest fear will come true." Oni said.

"Then the greatest victory will be that which has no battle." Dragon said.

"But how do we prevent a war and how do we stop an enemy we know so little about?" Jay asked as Zane's falcon soon lands on the console and an image of a prison comes up on the screen.

"We find someone who does."

Several minutes later, outside of Ninjago, Lloyd, Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, Nya, Gewuji and Magna's Power Dragons fly along in the air as Dragon was on Kai's, Oni was on Lloyd's and Geoff was on Gewuji's. Kai had left his sword with Skylor for safekeeping before they had left for the prison. "Kryptarium Prison..." Geoff said as the Power Dragons soon dispersed and they land on the ground. "...home to Ninjago's worst of the worst."

"I don't get it." Cole replied. "Who's gonna help us here?"

"If one must learn how to fight a snake, one must talk to one first." Dragon said. The guard at the tower over the entrance looks down at them through some binoculars as Dragon waved at him before he presses a button and the front doors open before they head in.

Down the hallway, an elderly man, wearing a black suit, white shirt, tan tie and black dress shoes, guides the Ninja and their masters as he held a set of keys. "Sorry I had to confiscate your weapons." He said. "Here we try to foster what I call an environment of encouragement." He soon comes up to a nearby button and presses it. The path ahead, which is laid with traps soon came clear.

In the main cell block, the warden, the Ninja and their masters came in as the prisoners see them. "Warden Noble, are they really in this cell block?" Geoff asked. "Among all the others we've put away?"

"Afraid so."

An inmate, looking just like Blake, soon sees them and charged at the bars. "You rainbow coloured rejects!" He yelled, holding his hands out at them.

Noble soon got out a baton and struck his arm, making him groan in pain. "Easy, Loader, unless you want to end up in the hole again."

"Who was he?" Gewuji asked as they move along with the prisoners trying to come at them.

"Bastion Loader." Geoff replied. "A defective clone. Tried to steal cloning technology until Blake caught him and turned him in. He's staying here for the rest of his life."

"Ninja ain't popular around these parts, considering your friends put most of them behind bars." Noble said to Gewuji. "But who you're looking for, he hates Ninja the most." He soon held his hand out. "Last cell on the left."

Inside the cell, they see a dollhouse before seeing something white inside. "Someone in that dollhouse is gonna help us?" Magna asked.

"That is correct." Dragon replied as they make their way to it.

Inside the dollhouse was one Pythor P. Chumsworth. He was sitting in a chair while drinking a cup of tea and having a basketball held by his tail. On it was a drawing of Raiden. "Why, yes, Pythy, this may very well be the greatest cup of tea you've steeped." He said to the ball, in a girly voice in an attempt to imitate Raiden. "Oh, you flatter me, Raiden, but do go on." He said it in his normal voice before preparing to have another sip of tea.

Pretty soon, Lloyd stuck his head through the window. "Hello, intriguing fellow." He said, causing him to drop his cup and basketball as he got off his chair to see Lloyd. "We need your help."

He soon closed the window shade. "Help you, the Ninja?! You've killed Raiden, fed me to the Devourer, defeated every army I've aligned with, even forced me to swallow your shrinking pill! Haven't you done enough damage to my diminishing ego?" Cole soon grabbed the dollhouse and turns it around. "Wah! What the hell?!" He was soon facing them as they were amused. "Well played. I suppose this is about that culturally insensitive noodle baron and his ilk that are now Anacondrai. Imposters, if you ask me."

"You are the last remaining Anacondrai." Jay said.

"You must know how to stop them!" Gewuji said, coming up to him.

"I'm not saying another word until you can figure out how to make me big." He soon turns around. "And don't ask me to trust a Ninja, no matter if there are 20 of you, or just you 5 with 2 new Ninja."

"6 with 2 new Ninja." Geoff said, kneeling down to him as Oni did as well.

"And would you trust a snake?" Oni asked.

"Garma-Condrai and Sander-Condrai?" Pythor asked, shocked at the two of them. "Oh, now my interest is piqued. Let's make a deal, shall we?"

Beeping was heard inside Zane. "I thought you should be aware that someone has been poking around the Kryptarium database with an interest in your, shall I say, little friend." P.I.X.A.L. said from inside Zane's head as he walked out of the cell.

"Chen?" Zane asked.

"I don't know, but be on your guard. You may be expecting unannounced visitors."
