Chapter 6: The Snake King

The sun rays beats down in the middle of the desert as we find both Pythor and Scales digging a massive hole. Scales slithers up some boards out of the hole with a bucket full of sand before he pours it onto a pile all while Pythor continues to dig for something. "We're wasting our time, Pythor." Scales said as he slithers back down. "There's nothing here but sand and dust."

"Keep digging." Pythor told him as he scooped up some sand. "The Lost City of Ouroboros is under us. I know it."

"Oh, face it, your first attempt to unite the tribes failed, and now that you have lost your flock, you become desssperate." Scales told Pythor as he picks up a shovel.

"I am desperate, my disloyal number two, but only to bring our kind together so that we can unleash the Great Devourer." Pythor said.

"You put too much faith in legends." Scales told him. "Besides, all the Serpentine know is to be at war with one another." Pythor then thrust his shovel down and he hit something. He felt it, he moved the sand out of the way and smile as saw a switch of some kind as he chuckled.

"Scales, I believe we've found it." Pythor told him before he flipped the switch. They then heard rumbling as the sand started to sink into the ground revealing a spiral around them on the ground, a few buildings being shown as the sand began to sink and that you found themselves in one look to be an arena with one giant snake statue in front of them. "I present to you the city formerly known as the Lost City of Ouroboros."

As the Destiny's Bounty flies through the skies, Twilight, Rarity, and Cozy Glow appeared on Deck in a proof, for Twilight had teleported them aboard. "Thanks so much, Twilight. It's hard to get to Wu and the others when their ship keeps flying." Rarity said as she has a box on her back.

"It's no problem, Rarity." Twilight said. "But I have to ask, what's in the box?"

"Just a little surprised I have for my pupils." Wu answered as the three jump when he surprised them. "Come, they're all in the dining room."

"First, I'll stomp on his tail." Lloyd told the others as they sat at the dinner table just when Wu, Twilight, Rarity, and Cozy Glow came in. "Then when he turns, a thunder clap to his ears. Then when he's stunned, I'll disarm him."

"Too late, he's already hypnotized you and now you're under his control." Landrush spoke up.

"Or he's already put you in a squeeze." Frost said.

"Or he bit you and now you're slowly becoming one of them." Gaia said.

"Or spit on you with his hallucinatory venom." Trail said. "Trust me, bad stuff." He shook his head at the thought.

"Ah, Uncle, what's the best way to stun a Serpentine if you don't know what kind they are?" Lloyd asked as Wu sat down.

"Sadly, it was the sacred flute you six carelessly lost." Wu scolded them.

"Hey, no, no, no, we didn't lose it." Thunder said. ""Pythor stole it."

"Whatever the case, without it I fear we have nothing to combat their powers." Wu said as he poured his tea. "We may have prevented them from uniting in the past, but they will try again, and one day they will be stronger."

"Don't worry. I've almost reached my full potential and when I become the Light Ninja, we're not going to need any magic flute." Landrush bragged.

"You're gonna be the Light Ninja?" Trill asked as he laughed sarcastically. "Don't make me laugh."

"I thought it was decided that I was destined to become the Light Ninja." Frost said.

"Oh! The only thing decided about you, Frost, is that you're weird." Thunder told him before all but Flash started arguing about who's going to be Light Ninja.

"Are they still on about this "Light Ninja"?" Cozy Glow asked.

"I know right? It's kind of ridiculous." Flash said while he holds the serpentine egg.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Lloyd said as walked over to Rarity. "What's in the box?"

"Oh nothing much, just your new uniforms!" Rarity told them as she opened the box with her magic and showed them six other boxes with each other elemental emblems on them. When they heard her, they stopped arguing and took a box with their elemental emblem.

"Whoa! They've got like armor." Thunder said excitedly as he looked as his.

"I love the gold highlights." Trail said when he picked up his.

"Battle claws." Landrush said.

"The material is really light and breathable." Frost said.

"I have worked hard on them, and I had some help with the armor." Rarity told them.

"Oh. Nothing for me?" Lloyd asked after he looked in the box.

"Oh, um, I didn't enough material for you. But I will come up with something for you." Rarity told him with a nervous smile. "In the meantime, you get, uh, the box?" The alarm then went off at that moment and they quickly rushed to the bridge. Landrush went up to a computer to see what sound the alarm.

"Sorry to break up the moment, but a small faction of our slithering friends are stirring up trouble over at Mega Monster Amusement Park." Landrush said as the monitor showed them a few Serpentine chasing a few ponies.

"Amusement park?! Can I go?!" Lloyd asked excitedly. "Can I go with you, please? Let me make things up. I can help."

"I'm sorry, nephew." Wu said. "You will stay here, where it's safe."

"Aw, ninja get all the fun." Lloyd complained.

"What do you say, guys? Time to try out the new merchandise?" Thunder asked as they were excited to try out their new uniforms.

"Hey Twilight, could you watch over the egg till I get back?" Flash asked.

"Sure thing, Flash." Twilight respon. They soon flew over the amusement park and the six were already on deck, wearing their new ninja suits.

"This new stuff feels like it'll really protect us." Landrush said as looked over his suit.

"Yet provides more mobility." Frost said.

"You want to strut on the catwalk or get down to that park so we can go on some rides?" Gaia asked.

"I love a roller coaster, but nothing beats this." Trail said before the each leaped off the Bounty and summon their vehicles as they fell towards the amusement park below. When they were close, their vehicles vanished in a flash of light and the ninjas flipped off a small building before landing on the ground and did cool poses.

"Ha! Check that out. And not a scratch on me." Landrush said before they approached a crowd of ponies that are cheering.

"Ha ha! Ladies, relax, relax, we have arrived." Thunder told some mares in the crowd. But as they parted through the crowd, they find the Serpentine have been tied up.

"Uh, what just happened?" Gaia asked when they saw the tied up snakes.

"Oh, you totally missed it." A velvet red mare told him. "There were like icky snakes, and then this mysterious Samurai came in and saved everypony."

"He was, like, gorgeous." A yellow unicorn mare said.

"You saw his face?" Trail asked.

"No, but we can totally tell." The velvet red mare said as Aqua walked over to the two mares with two ice cream cones for them.

"Aqua, you're here." Thunder said when he saw her.

"Yeah, you just missed all the action." Aqua told them. "He just flew in, took care of business, and then flew off. It was pretty cool."

"I don't wanna be a ninja. I wanna be a samurai." They heard a colt telling his friends.

"The samurai is my new hero." A stallion said.

"I bet the samurai could kick the ninjas butts." Another stallion said.

"Ugh, who is this guy?" Flash asked.

"Whoever he is, he's stealing our thunder." Landrush complained.

"And we just got these cool new ninja suits." Thunder said. "Argh! I'm gonna say it, I hate Samurai."

"Do I hear a hint of jealousy?" Wu asked asking approached them while he has cotton candy. "Maybe this can be a lesson for you."

"No! Not another lesson." Thunder complained before he realized something. "Hey, how did you get down here so quickly?"

"The lesson is iron sharpens iron." Wu told them.

"I do not follow, sensei." Frost said.

"Healthy competition can help you reach your true potential faster." Wu told them as he walked by them. "Do not be jealous of the Samurai, let it inspire you. Oh, Ferris wheel!" He shouted with glee as he ran towards the ferris wheel.

"Inspire?" Thunder asked as he was confused by that lesson.

"Wait a minute. Maybe the old stallion's right." Trail said.

"You want us to compete with the samurai?" Landrush asked. "He's got all the cool gadgets, we don't stand a chance."

"No, not with him. With us." Trail explained. "I say we turn this into our own competition. "Whichever of us is skilled enough to catch this mysterious Samurai is probably the best of the bunch." He said as draw out his sword.

"So whoever learns the identity of this Samurai is the one who will become the destined Light Ninja." Thunder said before he pulled out his nunchucks. "Ha! I love it."

"I would try to talk to you guys out of it, but I feel like I'm voted." Flash said as he pulled out his bo. "So count me in."

"Then it's a bet." Landrush said. "May the Light Ninja win."

"NINJA, GO!" All six shouted.

Back on the Destiny's Bounty in the bridge room, the alarm was wailing like crazy as Aqua checked the monitor. "Multiple snake sightings! They're everywhere!" She said before each ninja took a different location.

Frost headed up in the mountains on his bike to Yakyakistan, where the Serpentine were attacking the yaks. When he arrived, he found the Samurai had beaten to him and have captured the snakes before him. The Samurai laughed before he took off.

"Metal menace!" Frost shouted as he threw a snowball.

In a forest, three Constrictai approached Trail as he took a battle stance and ready to fight.

"Go, ninja, go!" Three mares cheered as they watch. Just then, the Samurai scooped up the three Constrictai in a metal net. "Oh, Samurai, oh!" The three mares blushed over the Samurai.

"NINJA, GO!" Trail shouted as he did Spinjitzu and spun his way over to the Samurai. The Samurai however, launched a net and caught him in it. "Aah! Hey, what's going on?"

By the entrance of a diamond mine, the serpentine charged at the Samurai. The Samurai used his mech to swing its sword and knocked them back. Landrush jumped on an edge of a cliff behind the Samurai.

"Now I've got you. Unh! Ha ha!" Landrush shouted as he jumped on the mech's arm, only for the arm to launch like a rocket and send Landrush flying into the wall.

Near the outskirts of Ponyville, the Samurai was pushing back a few Serpentine when Flash ran around the mech's legs with chains and tied it up.

"Ha! Try and get out of that!" Flash told the Samurai before the mech fires chains from its shoulder cannon which wrapped around Flash. It then broke the chains around its legs before taking off. "Huh, I should have seen that coming."

At the beach near Mount Aris, Gaia had a few Serpentine cornered before the Samurai appeared and launched a net at the Serpentine and pinned them to a wall.

"You're mine now!" Gaia shouted as charge at him before he launched another net at her and pinned her to the ground.

Thunder was wearing a pink dress and a blonde wig as he laid down on train tracks with a train coming.

"Help! Samurai, where are you? Oh!" Thunder shouted as he acted like a damsel in distress. The Samurai landed next to him, holding some train tracks before he placed each track down and redirected the train around and away from Thunder. "Ugh! Stupid Samurai!" He shouted as the Samurai took off.

Trail on his bike stops in front of an arcade and let Lloyd off. "Okay, I know it's my turn to look after you, but just play a few games and stay put while I look around." He then gives Lloyd some bits. "I have a feeling the Samurai may show up."

"Oh, let me help." Lloyd asked.

"No." Trail quickly responded.

"Come on. At least drop me off at a decent arcade." Lloyd said.

"Sorry, shorty." Trail told him before he drove off.

"Trail, wait!" Lloyd called out, but he was gone. He turned to enter the arcade before he heard some voices down an alley.

"I heard he found it." Scales told some Serpentine. "And everyone is gathering again."

"Impossible." A Fangpyre said. "The Lost City does not exist."

"Well, it isn't lost anymore. Ha ha. And I hear there's gonna be a fight." Scales told them.

"A fight? Count me in." A Venomari said. Lloyd listened in on their conversation and knew he had to do something. He watched as they were getting on a serpent bus, and felt like that it will take them to this "Lost City."

"All a board. Next ssstop, Ouroborossss." Scales announced. Lloyd walked back to the arcade and saw a snake costume in the shop's window. That's when he got a little crazy idea. Sounds of maracas rattling as Lloyd bought the costume and makes his way to the serpent bus. After a Constrictai got on, Lloyd was next. "Hey, you, hold it there." Scales told Lloyd, which means Lloyd worried. "Last one in closes the door."

"Uh, sssure thing." Lloyd said as he is relieved the disguised works. Lloyd close the door before the serpent bus took off. The bus was going a long way as it became nightfall and after a few more miles, Lloyd looked out the window and sees a snake statue as the bus reach its destination, The Lost City of Ouroboros. At the center of the city, all the Serpentine have gathered in the stadium for this big fight. Lloyd sits among the Serpentine as they waited for the fight to begin.

"Just do as I've said, and I promise you will be my second in command, forever." Pythor whispered to Scales before they both put on ear plugs. "I bring you together to the Lost City of Ouroboros, before the statue of our very own Great Devourer, to speak of unity!" He announced to all Serpentine.

"Where are the fights?!" One Serpentine asked.

"Where is the big show?!" Another shouted.

"Slither Pit! Slither Pit! Slither Pit!" They all chanted, wanting for the fight. Pythor growled before he jumped to the center of the stadium.

"You want a show?! You want to see a fight?!" Pythor shouted. "I asked for your allegiance but you will not give it! So I will take it!" The other four Serpentine Generals stood in front of him.

"What are you saying?!" The Fangpyre General asked.

"I challenge the four tribe generals for their staffs and their allegiance! At once!" Pythor challenged as all the other Serpentine cheered.

"I fought hard for this staff and will not give it up easily." The Venomari General said as he and the other three generals approached Pythor.

"There's no way he can defeat the four of us at once." The Constrictai General said as he he swung his staff at Pythor and missed. Other than swung his tail at him and spun him around before he ducked under the Venomari General's attack and punched him in the face. The Fangpyre General try to attack, but Pythor swung his tail and knocked him back before the three generals dog piled on him. Scales then gave Pythor the Sacred Flute he stole before Pythor began to play it.

"Oh. He's using the Sacred Flute against his own." Lloyd whispered as the generals yelled out in pain as they held their heads. Scales pretended to be in pain as to not draw suspicion.

"My ears!" The Constrictai General shouted in pain.

"It hurts!" The Venomari General complained. Pythor shot a look at Scales and he dropped his staff willingly. Pythor then knocked down the other three and took their staffs.

"Bow to your master." Pythor told the generals. "Bow to your master, Serpentine!" He shouted as the generals bow down to him before each Serpentine in the stadium bow down to him as well. As Lloyd bow his head, the hat of his costume slipped down and when he went to fix it, he dropped the to maracas and they fell into the stadium. Pythor saw this and just when Lloyd was about to leave, a Serpentine grabbed him before he could.

"Where do you think you're going?" The Hypnobrai that grabbed him asked as Lloyd's costume fell and he was exposed.

"Lloyd?!" Pythor growled as Lloyd gulp in fear.

The next day on the Destiny's Bounty, the ninjas have gathered in the dining room for some lunch. "Trying to find out the Samurai's identity is more of a nuisance than the snakes." Landrush complained. "Any luck with you?" He asked Thunder.

"The guy's elusive. He's like a ghost." Thunder complained. "One moment he's there, the next he's gone."

"I am starting to believe we might never catch him." Frost said.

"I think it's safe to say, none of us are closer to proving we're the Light Ninja." Trail said just as Wu walked in.

"Looks like iron is sharpening iron." Wu said. "I feel you getting closer to your true potential." He told as he squeezed Landrush's hoof before he notice that Lloyd isn't here. "Where is my nephew?" He asked Trail. "I thought you were looking after him."

"I thought Landrush was gonna pick him up." Trail said.

"I went to the arcade, but he wasn't there." Landrush explained. "Thunder was-"

"Don't bring me into this." Thunder quickly said. "I foalsat yesterday."

"Don't even look at me." Gaia said. "I haven't seen him either."

"Sensei, we have not seen him." Frost said.

"We must find the boy." Wu told them. The ninjas soon drove to the same arcade where Trail left Lloyd.

"Lloyd? Lloyd?" Trail called out as he opened the door to the arcade. "He was right here. Somepony must have seen him." Flash looked around till he saw a camera up on a pole.

"Hey, guys. Check this out." Flash said when he saw the camera. They soon went into the arcane's monitor room and checked the footage.

"Wait, wait, there's the pipsqueak." Thunder pointing out when he saw Lloyd on the monitor. "Play that back." They rewind the footage before resuming it and watched as Lloyd went into the store then came out with the serpentine costume before going down an alley. "What is he up to?" They soon went down the same alley and sees some hoofprints.

"I sense these are Lloyd's hoofprints, but they come to an end here. Why?" Frost wondered.

"Something tells me we're going for a ride." Flash said when he noticed some tire tracks. "Come on, team." They each summon their Spinjitzu vehicles as they followed the tire tracks out into the desert. They followed the trucks for miles before they see the Lost City of Ouroboros up ahead.

"What is that place?" Landrush asked over the comms when they saw the city.

"Looks like snake city." Thunder said.

"Let's get a closer look." Flash told the others as they drove to the city. They soon traveled in shadows as not to be seen by few Serpentine guards. They soon made their way to the stadium where they can hear multiple Serpentine cheering. They hide behind a large snake statue as they looked around.

"It appears Pythor has successfully united all of the tribes." Frost told the others.

"I know we ruined their last get-together, but that's no reason to not get an invitation. My feelings are hurt." Gaia joked.

"There's Lloyd." Trail said as he pointed to where he is. Lloyd is locked in a cage next to the large statue of the Great Devourer.

"Whoa. And look at who they worship." Thunder said as he pointed to the large statue.

"Let me guess: the Great Devourer." Landrush said.

"All the more reason to get Lloyd out of here." Flash told them as he reached for his bo. "This comes to an end today." They each draw out their weapons then charging to Lloyd before a change fell down on them and they dropped their weapons outside the cage. All the Serpentine gasp when they saw them trapped.

"Ah! The ninja." Lloyd said when he saw his friends get captured. As the ninjas recover from slamming against the cage, Pythor stood in front of their weapons where they dropped them.

"It looks like we've caught the main event." Pythor said with a smirk. All the Serpentine cheered as the ninjas were surrounded by guards and brought to the center of the arena. They notice a steel gate and they can hear rattling chains behind it.

"Main event? What do you think he meant by main event?" Thunder asked, sounding worried.

"I have a feeling we're the main event." Flash theorized.

"Or the main course." Landrush said.

"Flash, you may be right." Frost said. "Things really may come to an end today."

"Uh, don't worry." Thunder said nervously. "The Samurai could still come around to save us."

"You say you wanted a battle, and I give you one!" Pythor announced in front of the Great Devourer statue. "I give you ninja versus samurai!" The gates opened and the samurai in his mech with chains wrapped around the arms walked out. The Serpentine guards that's around it the ninjas soon left the arena well four other unchained the mech before rushing out.

"What?! We have to fight the Samurai?!" Thunder shouted. "But we don't even have our Golden Weapons and he has that hulking thing of armor! It's not fair!"

"I want to see once and for all who is the greatest hero!" Pythor announced. "Is it Samurai or Ninja?! Only the victor will be allowed to leave!"

"Stay together." Trail told the others.

"Perhaps he can join our team to fight our way out?" Frost suggested. "After all, he hates the Serpentine too." The mech then threw a large shuriken at them and they quickly jumped out of the way to dodge it.

"Scratch that. He is not on our team." Gaia said as she stood up. They quickly jumped over the mech try to swipe at them when it charged at them. It stumbled forward before it threw another shuriken at them. Thunder ducked under it as the others jumped out of the way.

"Ha ha, missed me!" Thunder bragged before the sure can came around and hit him in the back of the head. The ninjas regrouped as all the Serpentine cheered at this fight. The Samurai mech then draw out a sword and slammed it at them, but they quickly dove out of the way. Flash, Trail, and Thunder ducked when it swung it sword at them while Gaia, Frost, and Landrush jumped over it and to the others.

"Tornado of Creation?" Frost suggested. They each prepared to do the whip.

"Earth!" Landrush shouted as he did Spinjitzu.

"Wind!" Flash called out as he did Spinjitzu.

"Fire!" Trail called out his element as he did Spinjitzu.

"Life!" Gaia did Spinjitzu after calling out her element.

"Ice!" Frost shouted before he did Spinjitzu.

"Lightning!" Thunder shouted before he did Spinjitzu.

"NINJA, GO!" All six shouted as each of their Spinjitzus combined into the Tornado of Creation. The Samurai stepped back as the tornado started to gather a few things around the area. It's starting to suck up every weapon around, including the Samurai's sword. When it vanished, the ninjas created a giant slingshot with a giant spike ball. They pulled the ball back a few feet before they launched it and knocked the samurai back. They then charged at Pythor before he pulled a lever and spikes shut up to block their path.

"Argh! Why can't anypony play fair?" Thunder complained as Pythor smiled before he pulled another lever and the arena started to tip over. The ninjas lost their balance as they fell back but held on to few the spikes as to not fall into the pit. The Samurai mech grabbed on to some spikes as well.

"Can this get any worse?" Gaia asked.

"We must continue to make it appear that we are fighting for real." The Samurai told them.

"Huh? We're not fighting for real? Thunder asked the Samurai.

"Have you been pretending this whole time?" Flash asked.

"Keep up the charade and hold on to my exo-suit." The Samurai told them and they did just that before the rocket boosters on its back when off. The mech took flight but it was being weighed down as the engine sputtered.

"There's too much weight!" Trail shouted before the Samurai jumped out of his mech and let them take off.

"I can't believe he just saved us." Landrush said.

"He stole our thunder again!" Trail shouted.

"Ah! I hate that Samurai!" Thunder shouted as the mech flew as all the Serpentine watched it fly away.

"Go, ninja, go!" Lloyd shouted as the Samurai landed infront of two Serpentine in the stadium's seats and punch them in the face. He then jumped down and made his way over to Pythor. Pythor took Lloyd out of his cage and used him as a hostage.

"Get him!" Pythor order before a bunch of Serpentine surrounded the Samurai. The Samurai then pressed a button on his hoof to activate something.

"Magnetizer activated." The Samurai said as the magnetizer hit the Golden Weapons and they flew towards him. He then wrap the golden weapons in a cloth when they came close before he threw a blade at the same lever python use to tip the arena. As the snakes toppled down, the Samurai used a jetpack to fly up on top the statue of The Great Devourer. As Pythor growled, the samurai gave about to his own performance before he took off on his jetpack. Meanwhile the ninja were having a hard time with the Samurai's mech as it was flying out of control.

"How do you turn this thing off?!" Flash shouted before the mech did a nose dive right in the middle of the desert and crash landed. The ninjas got up and recovered from that crash before Thunder notice one of them was missing.

"Where's Trail?!" Thunder called out. Not too far from them, Trail had his head stuck in the ground before he pulled it out and removed his hood. He then got up and noticed that he was alone.

"Guys?!" Trail called out before he noticed the Samurai flying ahead. "Huh? The Samurai?" The samurai took notice of his jetpack is sputtering as it was out of fuel before he crash landed. Trail saw him crash not to far, so he decided to see if he was all right.

"Testing. Testing?" The Samurai said as his helmet was not on right and a bit of buzzing was heard. "One, two..." He then took off his helmet just when Trail hid behind a rock and see him. When he took off the helmet, Trail can see his mane was a familiar black and the coat was a familiar ocean blue.

"Aqua?" Trail asked as he approached the samurai. The samurai heard him and quickly but the helmet back on before turning around.

"Steer clear, ninja! Don't look..." He, or she, knew it's over so she took off her helmet and revealed it was Aqua. "...at me."

"I don't understand. You're the Samurai?" Trail asked his sister.

"It was always a ninja's club." Aqua told him. "You never let me try to help. So I found my own way to be hero. Are you mad?"

"Mad? Of course not." Trail said. "It's just, all this time, I've been trying to protect you and you've never needed it. You're amazing."

"Mare power." Aqua said as she hit Trail's hoof. "You're not gonna tell the others, are you?"

"But we have a bet. We said whoever caught the Samurai would be the Light-" Trail stopped when he saw the pleading look on Aqua's face before he gave a sigh. "Of course I won't say anything. How did you make all the stuff?" He asked as he pointed to the jetpack in our back.

"You'd being surprised how much spare time I have waiting for you guys to come back from your missions." Aqua told him before she hands him the Golden Weapons. "You better head back before anypony gets suspicious. We'll have to rescue Lloyd another day."

"Aqua, whenever I get in trouble, the other five always have my back." Trail told her. "But you... Just be careful, will you?"

"Promise." Aqua said with a nod.

"But how are you gonna get back?" Trail asked.

"I have my ways." Aqua said as she pressed a button on her bracelet. Back of the others, they continue to search for Trail.

"Trail!?" Flash called out.

"Trail, where are you?!" Gaia shouted in all five unaware that the mech was getting up from the ground. When they heard beeping coming from it they turn to see it but to leave.

"Quick! Get it! It's gonna get away!" Thunder told the others as they race over to the mech, but it took off before they could get close. "Great. Now we lost Trail, the samurai suit is gone, and we have no way to get home." Landrush turned to see something.

"I wouldn't say that." Landrush told him as he pointed at Trail that came over hill, with the Golden Weapons.

Nightfalls at the Destiny's Bounty soaring through the skies and the ninjas were in the bathroom brushing their teeth. "He was all mysterious, never said a word." Trail told them. "Then handed me the Golden Weapons and poof, he was gone."

"Poof? He just poofed?" Landrush asked.

"Whoa, whoa, whos. Wait a minute, Trail." Thunder spoke up. "If the samurai had his hooves on those powerful weapons in the whole wide world, why would he just give them back to you?" He asked as Aqua walked by.

"Um, I don't know. Maybe she-" Aqua quickly gestured to "knock it off quickly" to Trail. "I mean, he's not so bad after all. All I do know is that we owe him our lives, and maybe he had made us all a little better."

"I sense this means the bed is off." Frost said.

"Good, because I'm kind of getting tired of getting wrapped up in that guy's chains." Gaia told them.

"More importantly, my nephew has found his way into the den of all snakes." Wu told them. "I fear there may be no way of rescuing him now."

"Sensei, there's always a way." Flash told Wu.

"And don't worry. We'll find it." Landrush said as Wu gave a small smile before you left the room. He then saw Aqua down the hall, about to enter her room, and walked up to her.

"I think you forgot this." Wu said as he pulled out one of her samurai blades and gives it back. "Iron sharpens iron, and sibling sharpens sibling." Aqua smile before she entered her room.
