[A/N: The first paragraphs are partly a response to a review, but also me seizing the chance to do something that might help me get over my writer's block. Takes place a little bit before the last chapter.]

Jay was asleep when his eyes opened, now glowing purple.

"How do Hypnobrai sssee through other'sss eyesss anyway?"

Cody and March were miles away from the Destiny's Bounty, yet Cody could see the inside of it.

"I think...I'm gonna get him to come to us," Cody said, ignoring the older snake's question.

"That's amazing," March replied sarcastically, "Any other tricks I should know about? Can you juggle?"

"When would I have learned to juggle?"

"If you pick up a few sssticksss I'll teach you."

Cody facepalmed. "Are you humming circus music?"

"Yeah. You got a problem with it?"

[A/n: And back to your regularly scheduled programming! The rest of this takes place after the last chapter. Also, I think I should warn you: March cusses.]

"I bet you didn't even think thisss through."

"Shut up! Of course I did!"

"Then what are you gonna do now, geniusss? How are you sssupposssed to accomplish anything by yourssself?"

"What are you talking about? I have one ninja and you!"

March started to laugh. "Turn around, Cody."

He turned around and saw 3 figures, 2 in red and one in gold. Luckily for them, they were just far enough off that if they saw the snakes they probably wouldn't recognize them.

"Why didn't you tell me they were coming?!"

"Maybe I would've if you hadn't-" March stopped short; Cody had bolted. "Where are you going?! Don't leave me; jussst leave Jay, you idiot!"

He felt something happen, he didn't know what, and he could move again; at the same time, Jay crumpled to the ground. March was thinking (actually said a few of them out loud) some not-so-nice things he'd like to say to Cody, the little...

He wanted to help Jay, but March knew if they caught him here he'd be blamed for this. Looking back at the 2 ninja and Nya, he decided he did have enough time for something. March grabbed a stick and wrote a few words in the dirt before hiding. He would've ran away himself, if he hadn't wanted to stick around and make sure they found the blue ninja.

(Switch)

"Purple eyes hypnotized? What the heck does that mean?" Kai said, reading the words scrawled in the dirt next to the lightning ninja.

"What are you looking at me for?" Lloyd said, "I didn't write it!"

"The rainbow clown snake wrote it."

"Stop doing that!"

"Doing what?"

"Letting us think you're unconscious when you're fine. This is the second time, Jay! And rainbow clown snake?"

"You know, March? Never mind; it popped in my head so I said it. And March hates Cody, called him a bunch of swear words."

"Doesn't surprise me," Lloyd shrugged, "They argued first time we saw them, didn't they?"

"He wasn't cursing then though, was he?"

"I've good reasssonsss to do it! I hate that little ssson of a-"

March immediately regretted saying anything at all. If you're searching for someone who looks like I do it won't take long, he thought.

"Censored!" Jay shouted over a certain word March called the other snake.

"Would you lose your voiccce for good already?! You should be passst the sssometimesss-it'sss-there-sssometimessss-it'sss-not stage. Kinda makesss me wanna bite you again, jussst to sssee what happensss."

"Don't."

"I think it'sss sssomething on my end, not yoursss. Maybe my venom'sss getting weaker. I'll tessst that theory on Cody if I ever see the bassstard again."

"Don't say that word."

"Of courssse the girl doesssn't like cusssing!" March said, slightly annoyed.

"Shut up, Mr. Rainbow Clown Snake."

"I should get a cloak. And why the hell did you call me that?! I'm not even a full rainbow; I'm missssing orange...yellow...I mean, orange and yellow."

"It's kinda fun to say."

"What's the deal with you and Cody? I get you don't like him, so why do you hang out with him?"

"Mind your own business, you nosy ninja. Wait a second... Quick, are my eyes purple or red?!"

"Purple. Do your eyes normally change color?... You okay?"

March was furious, but they had no way of knowing why. "FUCK YOU, CODY!" he shouted, squeezing his eyes shut tight. "Close your eyes, Jay!"

"Wh-" Jay lost it again mid-word.

"Please be gone for good," March muttered, not bothering to open his own eyes to see if Jay had done the same, which he hadn't. He was missing Jay, who had realized he was talking about his voice, giving him one of those if-looks-could-kill glares. "Why do I need to tell you why; didn't you read my words in the dirt?!"

Nya looked at the words again and said, "Who hypnotized you?"

"Do I have to ssspell it out for you guysss? Ssseriousssly, I figured at leassst one of you would have the brainsss to put 2 and 2 together. Cody'sss half Hypnobrai. Need anymore hints or do you get it now?" They nodded. "And it'sss not jussst me, it's J-a-y as well."
