Hustling through the glazing desert, ignoring the sinking feeling into the sand, Zane pursue to escape without being hunted by the Serpentine. Determined to leave before the brothers he knew would react his disappearance. In silence gliding through the Sea of Sand, suggesting a minuscule plan of what did they achieved in the past with his brothers. Suddenly, Zane paused when the sound far from where he stood and hearing the rovers buzzing coming close. Therefore, he's not along.

"I got to escape before Kai and Jay worry me of my disappearance. Perhaps it was a mistake for not telling them I have a contrary plan than theirs." Zane uttered, glancing back to the Lost City of Ouroborus, seeing a glowing headlights flashing heading his way. They have found his tracks on the sand. And so, he resumes fleeing from his enemies.

Until he heard someone was calling his name from the distance. Kai and Jay. Rushing towards the presence arriving in opposite energy was getting stronger. Sauntering at the top sand hill, his vision spotted a red and blue blur hustling atop of the sandy hills. Zane waved to signal his brothers as they enter the Nindroid personal space, exhaust their lungs over and over. Kneeling and collapses to their knees, lower to the soft sand and Kai finally spoke up. "Z-Zane! We been l-looking for you! Where were you?"

"N-Next time Zane, l-leave a voicemail for us." Jay said, tired than Kai, laying on the sand meeting Zane crystal blue eyes. Stare blankly, Zane made a mistake. Of course for not leaving a notice for his fellow teammates but out of breath while the Serpentines soon arrive and corner his brothers. He's not going to let that happen. And so, he reeled his brothers with both hands and rise. Forcing the Ninjas on their feet. Kai looked confused "Zane, where-"

"The snakes are arriving. And Lord Garmadon been betrayed by Skales and stole his Mega Weapon." Zane interrupted. Surprised look from Fire and Lightning Ninja glancing at Zane to each others. But Kai doesn't like the news, not one ounce licked up because Skales possesses the Mega Weapon. Lord Garmadon wanted his son, but for Skales, reprisal against surface dwellers sealing them into tombs. (A/N- It was the time when they wanted revenge on that episode. Until Rebooted, they changed.) Once they are far from The Lost City of Ouroborus, the Ninjas finally restore their lung functions. Zane was the one to respond his plans, knowing Kai and Jay would asks his disappearance and behavior.

"I'm sorry that I haven't give you a minute to explain. But I sensed Cole's presence appeared. His corrupted heart has faded. . . for now." For once, Kai looked thrilled hearing great new for his leader statuses. "Zane! We have to go back!" He shouted.

Zane shook his head "No, the snakes are in pursuit on me. I overheard the plan, Skales was going after us. This time, he wanted to end his way. We need to wait patiently for them to pass." While Jay seating himself on a nearby rock, resting his elbows on his knees. "Any else you know that you didn't explain to us?" Jay said.

Kai went to Zane and rested his elbow on Jay's left shoulder gently "Listen to Zane's plan for now. You know, he is wise, he never fails us. We need to listen his advice." Kai explains the duty for Zane purposes. The Fire Ninja detected a light flashing above through the stacks of sand passing through them just 20 feet from the Ninjas standing. Four vehicles passes, luckily, those slippery snakes didn't discover the Ninjas. Letting them pass, Jay sprouted from the rock, ready to fight. Look pumped and Kai also. As the Fire and Lighting Ninja rose to Zane, they nodded in agreement for his plan "Zane, are we ready to save Cole once and for all?"

Nindroid smiled; nodded once and said "Yes. We will save our brother from the grasp of Lord Garmadon. Let's go." Zane commanded his fellow brothers to follow his steps. The trio marched back to the snake arena, hoping not getting tracked by the snakes. Which they doubt that will happen and didn't want to because the shortage of allies. They knew the snakes left to hunt Zane making their job much easier. But what they don't know, Skales still in the snake arena, remembered the Ninjas will free his captives to save you know who. Always.
