In Jamonacai Village, Nya and Aie Asiko walked to a fruit stand. Nya was about to pick up a pear, but screams and yells reached her ears. "What now?" she said, looking around. "Take the candy!" a boy yelled as he pushed a wheelbarrow full of candy out of a house. "Take it all!" Then, two snake-like things came out behind the girl, one holding a glittering staff. The three passed by a group of villagers. Nya and Aie Asiko saw red waves appear from one of the snake's eyes. The villagers' own eyes became a dark red and they moaned. Nya crouched behind the fruit stand while Aie Asiko hid in the shadows as the two snakes left the boy. She heard one say, "Thissss makessss no ssssensssse, General. Raiding an entire town? For ssssweetssss?" "You will do as I command," the larger of the two said firmly, turning around and jabbing the smaller in the chest. "Because I have the sssstaff!"
The boys trained with their weapons, each using them appropriately. Or... as appropriately as a boy could use something. Inside a room just outside the training court, Sensei Wu meditated in front of a burning pot of scented sticks. Smoke rose from the pot and showed the sensei an image. It showed Lloyd and a teenage girl walking through Jamonacai Village, followed by a group of snake people. Sensei Wu burst out of the room and cried, "The Serpentine is back! Everyone in Jamonacai Village is in danger!" "Calm down, Sensei," Cole said. "We were just there. It was some kid who says they're-" "The Spirit smoke does not lie!" Wu insisted. "An ancient evil has been released!" "Nya's there right now!" Kai said. "Nya?" Jay echoed. The boys ran to the dragons' stables and set out to Jamonacai Village. "Stay close," Kai warned. "Stay together." "Would we do it any other way?" Cole questioned. "And take Harmony." Sensei Wu said. "Alright Sensei. Harmony hop on." Kai said. "Okay." Harmony said.
Lloyd walked through the village. Lloyd was twitching and laughing crazily. "Ha-ha-ha!" Lloyd yelled. "I'm never coming down from this sugar high!" Suddenly, the four ninjas of Spinjitzu leaped down in front of the two. "Sorry to bust your buzz, little Garmadon," Cole said. "But it's way past your bedtime!" All that time Harmony was hiding behind Zane. "What are they?" Harmony asked Zane. "I don't know Harmony." Zane answered. Harmony then started humming. "I don't think that will help." Cole said. Harmony stopped. Then Harmony then closed her eyes and started to move away from the group and near the fruit stand where the girls were hiding. "Harmony! Where'd you go?" The boys said. "I'm over here!" Harmony yelled. "There you are." Jay said. They flipped and spun until they came behind a building. They slid along the wall and ducked behind a wheelbarrow. "Nya?" Kai said as his sister suddenly jumped in front of the wheelbarrow then Aie Asiko came out with Harmony. "You're okay!" Jay said in relief. "Barely," she said. "They've hypnotized everyone in town!" "Mind control," Jay said. "How is this possible?" "When you hear them rattle their tails," Nya warned, "don't look them in the eyes! That's how they get you." "Well what are we supposed to do?" Jay demanded, raising his arms in emphasis. "We can't use our weapons and now we gotta fight with our eyes closed? Perfect." "Won't be a problem for me." Harmony said. "The snake with the staff is the general," Nya stated. "He's the one in charge. If we can get the staff from him, it holds the anti-venom. If we get that, we can save everyone!" "Look guys," Kai sighed. "Forget about the whole Green Ninja thing. Let's make Sensei proud. The four of us. We're a team." "Now you're talkin'!" Cole grinned. "And Nya," Jay said to the girl, "you can be our honorary member." "Gee," Nya said sarcastically, "Thanks." "You guys are still weird." Aie Asiko said. "Still not funny." Jay said. Harmony just snickered. "I am going to fight. See you all later." Harmony said, she closed her eyes and started to fight.
