Kai

Cole met Kai and Zane at the little coffee shop in the village where Jay worked, they almost didn't recognise him if it wasn't for Lloyd being next to him, holding a plastic bag which told him that they had gone out to buy some clothing, as Cole said he would.

Jay was extremely annoyed, if the telepathic groans and complaints told him and his friends anything.

And if he was reading his friends' faces correctly, they were hearing Jay in their heads too, complaining about the exact same things he was complaining about to Kai.

Lloyd was still new, so he didn't get linked up, which meant that he didn't understand why Kai, Cole and Zane would sometimes do their best not to laugh, and what they were trying not to laugh at.

Apparently, the Blue Ninja had come in, acted all rude to Jay, and then asked for a manager when Jay tried to defend himself. The manager then told Jay to make Ash (the ninja) a cup of free coffee, which Jay had to make himself.

Jay did it as he was asked, but he added salt for revenge.

Unfortunately, Ash liked it and asked for more, staying until his friend, the White Ninja, paid and dragged him out, saying sorry over and over again until they were out of sight.

And now Jay was afraid that the rude ninja would come in every day and demand what Jay called "Revenge Gone Wrong", and Ash called "The Best Coffee Ever", which he didn't want to happen.

Customers started storming the place, because Ash mentioned the coffee on his Chirper account, and everybody wanted to try something that one of the saviours of Ninjago liked.

I've been making this crap all day! Why do people like this? Kai, slap Cole for me.

Kai didn't slap Cole for Jay, but a few seconds later, Zane did, startling Lloyd, Kai and Cole.

Cole turned around to glare at Jay, who was too busy to glare back.

Lloyd was amazed at all of the people coming in and out. "This place sure is busy," he told the guys. "Really, really busy."

"It's not always like this," Cole told Lloyd. "Apparently the Blue Ninja likes something that Jay tried to ruin for him, and it didn't go well for him."

So Cole seems to think that we should keep Lloyd for a while. HOLY SHIT!

Everybody at their table tried to get a better look at what got Jay so startled. Except for Lloyd, who tried to see what the others were looking at. Lloyd saw something before anyone else did. Kai started getting annoyed by the fact that he didn't see what the other customers, Lloyd and Jay were seeing.

So you don't see the Serpentine standing in the line?! I think that you may have forgotten that it's NOT normal for them to be in a human area! And it's not a Hypnobrai!

Jay was right about that.

This snake was more of a purple colour, which the Hypnobrai didn't have, and an incredibly long neck, which was also unusual and it lacked the hood which was normal for the red-eyes snakes they knew and trusted as neighbours and close allies.

I don't think this guy is very nice, guys. We should get these people out of here before he gets hungry!

"But Serpentine don't eat people," Cole argued out loud so the others wouldn't be left out of the loop.

I think there's a special exception for the guy who ATE every other Serpentine who was stuck in the tomb with him! If he did something like that to his own people, then imagine what he'll do someone else!

"Good point," Cole answered, changing into a copy of the strange snake. "I'll distract him while you guys get everybody out of here."

Jay disconnected their telepathic link while Cole tackled the Serpentine, who was very clearly surprised to be tackled by someone, and also, someone who looks just like him.

Zane got Lloyd out of the shop, while at the same time, using his powers over plants to carry out several people who may have been more surprised about being grabbed by plants than the two (to their knowledge) Serpentine wrestling in the middle of the store.

Kai wrapped his scarf around his face to avoid making skin contact with anyone as they fled, and helped Zane get any panicking people out of there.

Jay helped the people who worked with him get out through the back entrance as fast as he could, falling down twice and getting thrown back by either Cole or the Serpentine. Kai wasn't sure.

Once everybody was out, except for Cole and that strange snake, Kai, Zane and Jay went back in to see if they could help in any way.

Sadly, they had no idea who was Cole and who was the strange snake and Jay refused to read either one of their minds, claiming that he wasn't going back into the head of that "psychopathic cannibal", and he couldn't know who was Cole without going into their minds first.

Zane, thankfully, had another idea, which meant that Kai wouldn't have to touch one of the fighting snakes in order to figure out who was who.

A nearby cherry tree broke through the glass of a nearby window, wrapping its branches around the snakes, separating them like two fighting toddlers.

"Which one's Cole?" Kai asked.

Both snakes waved their arms, saying that it was them. One of the snakes shot the other one an annoyed look.

Jay seemed to notice something which led to some mild panic prickling in Kai and Zane's heads.

When Kai looked around, he found that there was a floating chair in the middle of the room, just…

Floating.

You know that handy little trinket I have to wear so things don't randomly float like that? It broke.

Zane went over to check up on the trinket Jay was talking about, which was one of the little black studs he wore in his ear.

"Yes, it appears to be broken," Zane confirmed.

That wasn't good. If the little trinket that controlled Jay's telekinetic abilities was broken, then things might get randomly thrown all over the place. And not only things. People as well, and that would end badly if that were to happen right there and then.

I'm focusing on the chair. The chair is my friend. Hello, my chair friend. Chair. Chair chair chair. CHAIR!

Jay looked very freaked out, staring at the chair was that of a person who couldn't imagine it being possible for a chair to start floating, despite it being him who was making it do so.

The cherry tree twitched a little as one of the two snakes turned into Cole, who dropped out of the tree and landed on his feet with catlike agility while everybody was amazed.

Just kidding.

He landed flat on his face and almost made Jay lose focus. The two others laughed at him, and when the strange snake tried to join in, he got glared at.

And a chair in the face, but that wasn't important.

When they left, Jay dragged the chair after him like a loyal dog while Lloyd was getting tired and had to be carried by Zane, because Cole was still trying to pick the purple scales off himself and Kai refused to carry him in fear of accidently touching the boy and instead, volunteered to carry Zane's branch, which had come from his improvised weapon of a cherry tree.

"Here boy, come on," Jay called out to his chair, pretending that it was an actual dog the entire time, all the way home.


Guess who accidently stole a freaking chair?!

Well, it followed them home, so maybe it's okay? I don't know the ethnics of these kids of situations.

Italics: Jay telepathicly speaking.
