"What do you want?" Cole demanded.

Zane didn't reply. Knowing the pressure well up for his leader redundant action. Still, the poignant Lord Garmadon action caused the team to collapse. Does Cole feeling of remorse hidden within his mind? All the fighting to his brothers, causing catastrophe in Ninjago, and even causing his own life! Skeptical, Zane processing the scheme might the Master of Earth leaves trace of him. Though, he remember the confession Jay blunt about the past.

"What brings you here, Ninja? Trying to finish me off?" Taunted Cole.

"Why are you hitting yourself?" Asked Zane, eyed on the Black Ninja harsh eyes.

"None of your own concern!" He retorted. "Cole, I know you're in there. Show me a sign, please." Zane begged.

Before the Black Ninja react, his right arm rises and pulled out three digit fingers out. He noticed and tried to hide the evidence by grabbing his right arm but Zane already caught a glimpse of movement. The number represent the game they counted together, counting points of Kai and Jay comebacks. Amazingly, he still remembers the exact number for his bet on Kai. The answer already been signaled by Cole.

"There is the real Cole inside."

A sudden change when the Earth Ninja held his head. Thought hardly because the pure side of his tried to fight his way. Ignoring the surroundings, slipped back into his mind. Zane eyed his leader, monitoring his leader emotion and hypothesis of Cole erratic action. While Cole attempting to deal with the annoying Ninja.

'Hey! Stop your charade, Ninja!'

I'm trying to regain my body and talk to my friend!

'Okay, if you desperately wanted to see him, then go right ahead.'

Oh really?

'NO!'

Back to reality, Cole slaps his face to snaps out of his control. Zane watches him, concerned. He heard the Earth Ninja grunted, slapping himself uncontrollably with his right hand. As Zane ponder, he wondered how to solve his brother memories. What is the major event did he enjoy with us? Or another solution to restore his corrupted heart?

Suddenly, Zane heard the snakes hissing on his left. As Cole stops his slaps his face, he smirked maniacally at Zane. "Guess they found you," Cole exclaimed, crossing his chest using his arms.

Hesitated, grinding his teeth for the snakes arrival so soon, Zane said "Practical, but it's not the end of the rope. You won't get away with this," Zane remarked Cole dryly.

Without fighting a way through on the snake's nest, rather he raced off. The snakes saw a blur figure, moving swiftly, dodging through outside The Lost City of Ouroborus. Hurling their weapons at the figure. The snakes didn't knew the intruder until Cole spoke up.

"The white ninja was here! Let me follow him!" Cole blunted, slamming the bars angrily.

The snakes exchanges unsure glances; the few reasons why Lord Garmadon locked the Ninja behind bars. Determined if they even allow to release the Black Ninja clad out of the wind, chasing the heroes of Ninjago. As the groups of tribes hovering near the bars, murmuring to another, a sudden harsh voice capturing the horde of snakes and Cole attention.

"Move out of the way!" Lord Garmadon demanded. The Serpentine moved an opening passage for their supreme leader to rise Cole. Opening the door and stood in front of the entrance.

"One of the Ninja came. Cole, go hunt him and finish him once and for-"

Suddenly, Garmadon felt a strong force of strength pushed him, stumble awkwardly in the cell. In progress, losing contact of his Mega Weapon, feeling someone is grasping while being lunged into the cell. Eyes widen, turned to the bars behind him, hearing chortles of laughter on the other side of the bars. Eyes flaring as he snapped to Skales "Give back my weapon!"

"Never! Your usssselesss plansss never succeeded!" Skales began, turning to his allies raising the physical golden staff "Now I have the Ultimate Weapon, we don't need Lord Garmadon. Let'sss end thisss!"

Lord Garmadon grabbed the bars, ruthlessly shaking them like the earthquake strikes. Clenching his teeth infuriated Skales betrayal, Cole rises to his master, suggesting a plan and Lord Garmadon turn to him instantly. "Master, shall I perish those snakes-" A disturbance when someone grabbed his clothing and pulled him to the bars. Slamming his face into the bars, nearly break his jaws. Growling, it was Skales as he looked into his eyes. "Look into my eyes, Ninja!" Skales started.

"Skales! You pathetic fool!" Lord Garmadon spat hoarsely. Unfortunately, Cole dark side never knew about 'snakes' ability. Rather focus on Lord Garmadon commands, he felt himself losing his conscious. Until, that is, his right arm punched Skales right into his nostrils. The blue serpent loses his grip and flew back, cursing. Cole lightly shook his head and trotted back immediately. Tentatively looking his right arm, Skales snapped "Fine Ninja! I don't need you! I'll find the other Ninjasss insssstead! And Lord Garmadon, let'sss sssee if your ssson anticipating to help me." Smirked Skales.

"Don't you DARE to lay a finger on my son!" Hissed Lord Garmadon. Skales slithered away from his two captives and commanding his tribes to set the vehicles for a finishing blow. While Lord Garmadon tried to get Skales, Cole sinks into his mind to occupy a silent conversation with the good side.

'You did this, Ninja?'

I know my ways. Besides, I don't want to watch myself obeying with the sore loser. He's worse than Lord Garmadon. . . for my opinion.

'Hmmm. . . Not bad. Now my master and I are prisoners, do you have any ideas for us to escape?'

Why would I- well. . . I do know one plan. . .before I would explain the details, let's make a deal.

'A deal? Tempting. What is it?'

If I can help you with further notice, you better stop and turn to yourself back to normal. You are part of me. . . of my mind.

'I am here to obey Lord Garmadon. What if I say no?'

Then you'll be joining Skales sooner than you think. Think of it, you may still live inside me, but your goal was to obey Lord Garmadon. Really, Skales is nasty when comes to his mind using us as a tool. Now since he needs your help, well my help, I'll help him escape and myself. It's a win-win; I know what to do.

'Is it the Ninjas? I knew you were going to say that.'

Close, but no. I save your butt from Skales. It's your decision if you want a new master...

'...Fine Ninja, you got yourself a deal.'

The White Ninja clad stood silently on the high-peaked sand, poring into the Snake arena. Unbelievably to his eyes, seeing Lord Garmadon been tricked by his formal general, or called slaves "This indeed the worse case scenarios in history, seeing Lord Garmadon as a monkey behind bars. And Skales have the Mega Weapon." Zane uttered.

Until Zane heard snakes shouting from the distance, calling Ninja out loud that the whole group looked and saw Zane. A sudden flinch when Zane sensed an immoral patterns has faded. A sound of gasp from the Nindroid throat, saw Cole collapses to the ground. Knowing he was exhausted and strangely, the dark side of his has faded. . . for now. No time to think, Zane scurried off to the sand, leaving footprints on the sand.

A/N- Man, I been busy for a long time. Sorry you guys had to wait, but at least I get it done!
