"Let'ssss end thisss Ninjas and Garmadon! My fellow tribes, ATTACK!" Skales hissed.

The battle begins.

Kai lunged into the middle of hordes of Hypnobrais and Venomari privates. As he perform spinjitzu, kicking the snakes away. They crumble to their knees and fell unconscious. One threw his dagger at Kai. The Fire Ninja saw the sheen metal hurling toward him. Immediately, he bent his body, use his katana tip on the ground to levitate as the sharp blade passes through his nose. Narrowly misses his hair. Push himself forward, straightening his back. Before he react, a Constrictai general, came behind him and and uses his long tail and wrapped it on Kai's right leg and lifted to the air. Didn't see that coming. Kai squirmed relentlessly as Skalidor chortled into laughter.

"Hello, Fire Ninja! SSSSince the main sssqueezer is dealing with the othersss, you can be my new toy!" Skalidor smirked as he enjoying his captor struggled.

"I'm not someone's toy!" Kai screamed as he tried to land a blow on Skalidor. No success made, not even a scratch since he was far range.

During battle, Zane saw Kai is in a tight situation. Zane reacted and somersaulted through the snakes, throw himself into the air and landed on Skilador head with a kick when he spins 360 degrees. Skalidor released his host as Kai fall to the ground. Kai cringed for a second since he landed on his head until the haze cleared. Rose and went to Zane side, both nodded and performs spinjitzu. Zane created an icy tornado, in process, hurling his Ninja Stars on multiple snakes.

Jay with his side part of the pie of snake arena, using his Nun chucks as he swings, landing a blow on the opponent's legs. Causing them to collapse into their knees and finishing off with a kick on the snout. The snakes unable to defeat the speed of lightning Ninja. With a land of a blow, yelling "Woo-cha! Hye-yah! Hah! Too fast - Too Furious! The Lightning Ninja slams and crush the snakes! And Jay. . . has destroy his nemesis and save Ninjago! Everyone goes wild. . . ahhhh. . . Go Jay! You're our hero!" After the performance and entertaining himself courageously, he use spinjitzu as a finale. "And Jay did an amazing trick like no one can ever master! Ninjaaa-gooo!" Slamming into the Constrictai and Fangpyre private like a strike. One snake came behind Jay. Jay heard footsteps closing in and immediately turned to the direction and use Nun chucks to block the blow.

"You ssstupid ninja! Sssstop talking to yourssself!" The Hypnobrai snarled. Jay glared and smirk all of a sudden "Hey, what's ten minus six?" Jay said.

"Uh, vhat?" The Hypnobrai replied with a confused tone.

"Four!" Jay yelled as he pulled a bat from a fallen snake comrade and swing so hard at the snake. Sending him flying over the arena while he screamed, added a faint cursing at the Blue Ninja. Jay reclaimed his Nun chucks, brushed his hands, and went to another opponent's with a sweep.

Cole drew his Scythe as he watched the Serpentine creep closer, held high their weapon. That doesn't frighten him, not even a itsy-bitsy of fear rise. His eyes glowed violent color as he charge recklessly with a mighty roar. Slammed the snakes using his Scythe. Violently punched one of the snakes throat. It fell into his knees, choking painfully. Jump high kick on the snakes whoever stands like a pillar and shatter them. Once he dusted the snakes on his side, look over his shoulder to see Lord Garmadon was getting close to Skales as possible. As an assistant, Cole rushed to Lord Garmadon and repel the snakes behind him. Once the evil duo reached Skales standing on the statue under the ruined Great Devourer, Cole slipped into fighting stance while Lord Garmadon rise with a snarl.

"End of a line, Skales!"

Skales smirked aggressively at the duo "Oh no, I'm ssssso sssscared... NOT! Your foolisssh asssissstant can't sssstop me thisss ti-"

A dagger hurled to Skales in a speed of light. He saw that coming and tilt his head as the dagger cut like a wind passed through. One hundred percent that didn't made contact his scaly skin as the dagger injected into the rocky wall behind him. Looked at the dagger for a brief moment, knowing it was Lord Garmadon threw the dagger. Boy, is he indignant of Skales with his precious weapon.

"Nobody judge me how I act and my assistant! Only I call him fool, fools! Now give back my weapon!" Lord Garmadon snarled.

"No! Your act leadsss my comradesss into nothingness! I'll sssshow you how the real general ssstart the ssshow. Thisss isss the real entertainment!" Before Lord Garmadon react, or even Cole, Skales grasped the schnitzel that used to tilt the arena. He pulled it. Concerned and puzzled, until multiple screaming behind him, grab their attention as they saw the snakes and the guys sliding into the pit. (A/N- This is a death trap. In Rebooted, they change it as a hideout.) Fortunately for Jay, he wasn't in the arena but outside of the ring. Gasped because Zane and Kai been caught and started falling.

"Kai! Zane!" Jay yelled as his face imprinted all over his face.

Out of nowhere, Skales lunged his tail at Lord Garmadon and Cole. Sending them flying into the ring. But Cole crashed his head into the Great Devourer statue stand, making him immobilized. Skales escaped, leaving the doom for the Ninjas and the tribes. (A/N- Okay, that was evil for Skales... That's him alright!) But Skales have planned to save his tribes by using the Rattle copter. Cole slide his body unconsciously on the wall. Hitting and pull the lever that triggers spikes sprouted from the arena. While the disk tilted on 4 o' clock position, Kai, Zane, Lord Garmadon, and the Serpentine saw the spikes and grasp them tightly. Few Serpentine falls into the pit, unknowingly if they can survive.

"Arrrrggg! I hate this! Stupid snakes, stupid Lord Garmadon, stupid snake arena! I've had it with this plot of Lord Garmadon!" Kai yelled, holding onto his dear life. Kai saw Lord Garmadon climbed spikes to spike swiftly without worry. He kicked the snakes who held the spikes and they fall into the mile deep pit. Trying to reach Skales. Having four arms was an advantage. He finally reached to the surface of the floor and sprinted, chasing his trails, leaving the Ninjas on their doom.

Jay rushed to Kai and Zane. Both were in contrary of his direction. He saw Cole rose, he yells "Cole! Help me save Kai and Zane! I can't do all of this alone!"

"No, I have no desire to help your stupid friends." Cole retorted. "But Cole, they're your friends also you-" Before Jay finish his sentence, Cole left the remaining Ninjas in the arena.


While Cole bolted out of the snake arena, he heard a shriek so harsh throughout his mind. It was the good side of his, fiercely angered on his action.

Hey! My teammates needed my help! I need to go back!

'Ain't nobody got time for that! They're in my way! I don't have time to spend time with the hothead, the loud mouth, and the freak!'

Oh no you didn't! Don't you DARE talk smack to my friends from behind! Mostly Zane!

'I just did! Oooooo! Loser!'

You're calling yourself a loser, loser! Go back and help my friends!

'I am here to obey-'

Like I said, your desire sucks always! It's my decision to save innocent people! I'm not letting you decided to leave my friends for this! Not this time! I will not allow to stay around and do nothing! Kai and Zane, they're going to fall in and they are my friends! Let. Me. In. Control!

'Wait, stop!'

Why? My friends are in danger! They need me! Let me in control! Oh, is this the last key? It is! My friends I care for than anything else! Seeing them in danger, triggers to make me save my friends! My actions, I get it!

'Stop ninja!'

Don't tell me what to do! Oh, are you feeling yourself slipping? Good! I wanted to be myself again! No more of this! I've had it!

'Wait, think this through. We can be the best duo! We will be strong to fight whoever stands in our way. We can concur Ninjago together!'

Okay, the last sentence definitely have no interest of mine! Let. Me. In. Control!

'No! No, no, no! Have mercy!'

Screw your imploring me to stop. Just get pure already! Abraaaa...Ka...dabra!

'Dummy! Wait, think this again! Wait- NOOOOOOOOOO!'

Cole collapsed to his knees, screaming. His tone suddenly change to his normal tone once again. Resting his palms on the soft, warm sand as he panted painfully. And so, Cole snaps his eyes wide and reveal his true color of his pupils. Groaning as he felt his head filled with rocks. Feeling his strength flowing back into him like magic. Still feel disoriented and hunger punching his stomach, he let the condition subside instead. Gasped because back in his present, he propelled himself using his knees and a sudden pause as he thought hardly. Surprised, the voice is gone from his head.

"I-It works!" Cole started, grinning widely "I can't believe it's gone!" Cole paused and felt nausea and sense of... hatred and loss of his personality been added. "Well, almost better. I don't need help from Lord Garmadon anymore. I have my tea-" His smile turned to grimace. Petrified, refresh his memory that his teammates going to meet their doom.

"Guys, I'm coming!" Cole shouted, he rushed back into the arena.
