As the gangs started to stroll out of the snake arena, a sudden stop for the Ice Ninja as he sensed a presence arriving behind them. Kai noticed his Ice fellow teammate paused. Kai was the one to respond with a hesitant silence from Zane "What's wrong Zane?"

"I sense someone is behind us. A force of someone and a dark presence- which is Lord Garmadon is right behind us!" Zane alerted. Feeling the tension rise behind him; their nemesis: Skales and Lord Garmadon coming in his way and his first step was to protect for his family. That's enough for the battle between the Ninjas VS. The Serpentine when few members are badly hurt.

In instant, Kai and Zane turned their bodies 180 degree. Showing their back to the entrance, they saw Skales bolted to the center of the arena, squeaking. Paltry fleeing from Lord Garmadon, cowardly didn't have the tail to meet face to face with the Dark Lord. (A/N- TAIL! HAHA! BETTER THAN YOU KNOW WHAT, I JUST COVER THE WORD! You know what I mean boys. XD) Kai and Zane gently place their fallen friends down, step foward for salvation from Skales and Lord Garmadon, and slipped into fighting stance as they protect their injured friends.

"You!" Kai snarled, cracking his knuckles. "Oh I have some few words with you two!" Kai drew his katana and ready to make an assault. Zane also prepared his shurikens in his grasp with multiple stashes up his sleeve.

"Hah! Now who's a fool now?" Lord Garmadon hissed at Skales.

"Nyah, who'sss a fool now?" Skales mocked Lord Garmadon. The mockery tone from Skales, reaching critical indignant as the Dark lord growled. But Skales wasn't kidding. A platform appeared that is attached to a rope landed near Skales left. It was the Rattle copter, with passengers roaring towards the Ninjas. Lord Garmadon, not letting Skales escape this time. He predicted this is his escape route. So he backed away, into the shady corridor while the blue serpent perspective view was focus on the Ninjas. What was Lord Garmadon is up to this time?

"Skales! Going to escape? I knew you're a sore loser that flee all the time! Come here and fight me like a man!" Kai snarled, eyes flaring with rage.

"Why are you blaming me?" "Because you were the one to ambush us, kidnap me, and a lousy trade you did to Cole! There is a million reason why I should blame you!" Kai snapped, sounded harsh than the last. Kai look over his shoulder to Zane and nodded. Zane agreed with a nod.

Near the ruined of the Great Devourer, Bytor and Mezmo positioned themselves to pull the lever, waiting for Skales signal. As they thought, the clever snakes pulled the lever. Unfortunately, Kai and Zane didn't discover the snakes was near the statue. But that didn't stop Zane six sense.

"Kai," Zane whispers "I sense something terrible going to happen."

Out of nowhere, surprised the Ninjas, Kai, Zane, and Cole was caught by the trap, again. Skales, fortunately, using the platform attached on the Rattle copter, watching the Ninjas falling into the pit. This time, smirking to see the full view of his hatred enemies falling into the unknown area. Spotted Jay was safe but unguarded, he chortled into laughter and commanding Skalidor. What kind of idea Skales in processing in his mind?

"Get the blue ninja! He will be oursss inssstead of the black ninja!"

Kai was grasping outside the ring using his injured arm. Feeling his wound exposed and blood swam to his shoulder. Subside his wound stretching, Kai pulled himself to meet the outside of the ring and Zane was far of reach. Held on the spike calmly, not worrying since he had a right place to hold on the spike.

"You speak too soon, Zane!" Kai screeched. Until he noticed his blue friend comrade is missing from his spot and Cole was missing. "Jay?!" Kai gasped. As he turn back, Cole was falling into the pit.

"NO!" Zane saw this happening. He calculated the area of the arena and measuring the timing to reach Cole from falling into the pit. Making his move, fall with Cole, and grabbed onto his collar. Panting, a close call. Vice his grip on the spike as he could, holding an unconscious leader. The Ice Ninja heard Kai looked frantic when Jay is missing.

"On no." Zane murmured. In the corner of his eyes, saw Jay limp body on the Rattle copter. With all the rough noises happening around, he's still asleep?

"Kai! Jay is being taken away! Above you!" Zane yelled.

Kai glanced above and viewed the snakes carried Jay away from here. Growling and stomped his foot infuriated, he let out a howl cursing at the snakes. Now Kai got no idea to do for the first time. Zane was trying to get Cole and he needed help while Jay is being kidnapped by the snakes.

"Not this again. . ." Kai snarled silently, hands curled into fists.

Kai, stood stiffly before his eyes, cannot find a conclusion to rescue his friends. Reaching a dead end, feeling remorse. Zane supporting Cole that just saved and Jay being scurried away with the snakes. Kai never felt this feeling. . . being defeated- saving one, losing another...
