Kai watched his friends, Jay being separated and Zane with unconscious Cole on his grasp in the pit. Feeling hatred consume his emotion; once again, Jay will be a goner. Who knows what will the Serpentine will do to Jay. The same circumstances like Cole suffocated fighting his brothers and almost destroy them?

"Why. . . Always going to manipulate my friends? Can they get a life instead kidnapping our friend and force him to a bounty hunter to hunt his own friends?!" Kai gritted his teeth.

Kai caught a glimpse of few tribes of Serpentines marched towards his direction. Kai drew his katana, fall into stance, and performed spinjitzu as the fire engulfed him fully, fire swirled surround the Master of Fire. He collided into the shakes ruthlessly with a tempered growl. Yelling to the Serpentine he had enough. Kicking and thrashing the snakes; the Serpentine fell unconscious and few fall into the trap.

Zane discovered Kai was fighting off the Serpentine alone. He wanted to help, but other things in hand is much valuable saving someone who is unable to take care of himself. Still inhibiting and didn't planned to get himself into the surface. Zane spotted a Hypnobrai falling, screaming in dismay as the Ice Ninja watched him as he slipped into the darkness of the pit. Skeptical on the tension on above and endorsing his leader, it'll be useless to avert danger coming his way. The only Ninja, haven't been lay a finger but for once, accidentally bringing his brother into a war.

"It is my fault. I put my brothers in jeopardized. I should not have left to find Cole. This is indeed troublesome. I wish there is an alternative way to slip this problem." Zane punished himself.

A miracle happen, a rope fall from the sky. Kai felt a rope patting his spiky hair. The cavalry has arrive! It was Lloyd hurled the rope. Also, Nya was on her Exo Suit, contemplating her friends and Kai, soaring in the sky to save Jay from the clutch of the Serpentine.

"Kai! Give this to Zane!" Kai obeyed and grabbed the rope and threw it to the nindroid. "Zane, here!"

The Ice Ninja heard his name been summoned. He can verified this is an only option to get him and Cole out. Zane studied the rope carefully to decipher how to get him and Cole from the pit. A light bulb popped up above his head and grabbed the rope. Tied his leader on his waist and held Cole as he nodded at Lloyd, already prepare to be reel by the young ninja. The Green Ninja started to pull the rope. A kid with upper body strength... not weird at all!

As Kai examined Zane taking Cole into a safe hands, Sensei appeared out of nowhere and landed on his bamboo staff balancing himself near Kai. Kai took a surprise; luckily, if he fail landing on his bo staff with one leg, he would hit his, you know where.

"Sensei?"

"Yes Kai?" Sensei replied while he planted his feet on the ground "How- um. Never mind." Kai shook his head in belief.

Sensei use his staff to bonk Kai's back of his head. Kai winced and rubbed his head lightly and stared at his teacher "Think before you speak, Kai. Where is my brother?"

Kai completely forgotten about Lord Garmadon. Of course he tried to delete the horror and vile the freak scar his past. He scanned the arena, the corridor, and the statue. "We have to look for him!" Kai stated.

Sensei nodded and said "Nya will take care of Jay."

Before Wu and Kai started to sprint around the arena, Kai haut his teacher immediately. Sensei inspected Kai carefully. He was staring above his head and said "Sensei. . . we don't need to do anything, I've spotted him." Sensei eyes widen and flickered his eyes where Kai is looking. As brother react when his manic brother on the loose, Wu watched Lord Garmadon was on board on the Rattle copter. He is definitely had enough with the Serpentine's betrayal and teaching them a lesson.

"Brother! What are you doing?" Wu yelled. But not one pulse of scream from Sensei didn't pass through. Instead, Lord Garmadon was doing his 'business'.

"Get out of my way! Off of this helicopter and let me pass!" He hissed as he grabbed the snakes and harshly throw them overboard. They screamed in dismay as they fall into the pit. Eventually knocked the Serpentine, who is which subdued Jay and been thrown overboard by Lord Garmadon.

"Jay!" Nya screamed. She quickly switched her booster on, reaching maximum power, and zoom towards an unconscious Jay. "Come on, closer. . ."

With all the speed, she successfully save Jay. "Got him!" Using her right mechanical arm nursing Jay. She sigh, relieved that she save Jay on time. Studying Jay why is he unconscious, noticed a large bump on Jay's right shoulder. "Oh no," She says "Jay, oh those darn snakes will pay for hurting him!"

Something trigger Jay to woke up. Still in weaken state, soon he will fell unconscious. He tried to adjust his vision on someone carrying him but his eyelids cover his eyes. He winced "H-huh? O-oh..."

"Jay?" Nya soften her voice.

Jay unconsciously rubbed his shoulder to scan the excruciating pain stopped his movement. Nya observed Jay fingering his swelled up shoulder and his blade shoulder supposed to be facing that way? He winced and sunk back to the safe hands of someone guiding him somewhere safe and slipped into slumber. Nya became concerned for Jay status. She has to save him, he could be bleeding internally inside. Nya boast her speed back to the Bounty. While she cut through the pitch black sky, she saw her brother stare in amazement what Lord Garmadon is doing. She recaptured Wu and her brother attention by waving. You can't miss a red radar in the sky "I'll take Jay back to the bounty. Wish you luck!" With that, she glided through the air and return to base. Attempting to aid Jay immediately.

While Nya saved Jay and the two on the ground watched Lord Garmadon, he reached to Skales, seating on a passenger seat. Skales heard a smash echoing throughout the control room, Skales became frightened; color drained out of his body (A/N- Though, he's a blue snake o.o) He shouted the pilot "Ssshake the copter! Get Lord Garmadon off thisss copter!"

"But Ssskales, we'll crasssh!" Skales doesn't care the consequences. Without warning, Skales pushed the pilot aside and spin the wheel. The Rattle copter starting to sway side by side. Losing the Rattle copter controls, the Rattle copter lose its power and started to crash into the plate of the arena ground. Colliding into the activated trap and once they crash, who knows who would survive.

"Brother! Get off of it! Please, it's not worth it!" Sensei Wu screamed, the horror happening in front of him. Before Wu was about to rush in, Kai clamp on his shoulder, shaking his head.

"Sensei! If Lord Garmadon wanted to do this, he decided to get himself hurt!" Kai said, not trying to argue with his teacher. Wu sighed, making Kai felt guilty for preventing him for reaching his brother.

"Sensei. . . we don't want to lose you. We all need you. I need you, Zane, Cole, Jay, Nya, and even Lloyd. You know your brother, a sneaky Dark Lord that escape every danger ahead of his path. Also, he trained with you. You guys share survival skills. I doubt it will not be the end of him." Kai said, concerned eyes locked at Sensei Wu.

Wu hesitated, Kai was right. He and Lord Garmadon are brothers, especially a son of the first spinjitzu master. And so, the Rattle copter beginning to meet the disk of the arena.

Lord Garmadon grabbed the rope tightly from the tilting copter. He was about to thrash the door open. He toss his body and force his way through. Busted the door open and saw the pilot and Skales with his weapon. Skales gasped, he looked from him to the arena.

"I thought I ssshake you off!" Skales hissed.

Lord Garmadon rushed and grabbed his Mega Weapon as Skales tried not to let him possessed the ultimate weapon. Managed to punch Skales to his snout. During tug of war, Lord Garmadon speak "I am here to claim my Mega Weapon, Skales! You-"

"We are all going to die! You weren't paying attention on your ssssuronding?" Skales yelled.

A distinguish smirk formed on Lord Garmadon lip. Skales was tentative, why is the Dark Lord grow a maliciously smile felling to Skales? The Rattle copter, will crash in 4. . . 3. . .

"Ha ha ha... I see that coming. See you in-"

BOOM!

Fireworks crackling. Hearing the steaming ignition hissing fire and the Rattle copter exploded into pieces. The Rattle copter been shattered; left with nothing but unusual materials made by the Serpentine. Sensei Wu, eyes fall into the fire lick up spreading within the arena. A gruesome expression engraved on Wu's face. Hesitated, thinking his brother, that Kai explain he can survive the explosion. Kai reached to his teacher, stretching his hand to lightly clamp his shoulder, until he froze. Didn't want to bother Wu, guess he knew he doesn't want his comfort.

The bounty arrive hovering behind Kai and Wu. They went aboard because of roll call, going back home. Silence returning back home, not one glance Kai made contact with his teacher. Soon, the Bounty started to sail across the sky, leaving the horror experience of The Lost City of Ouroburos.

A/N- Bam! Didn't see that coming! Did Lord Garmadon survive? What about Skales? What will happen to Wu now? Is Jay okay? What about Cole status now since the corruption destroy part of his personality?

See you in the Epilogue! :)
