(Third Person P.O.V)

"Look at that. Awesome." Kai said as spotted the island. "Let me see." Karloff said and shoved Kai out of the way. "Do you mind?" Kai said and both of them got ready to fight again.

"Welcome to Chen's Island. The Tournament of Elements welcomes its brave fighters. Master Chen will be pleased you've returned, Sensei Garmadon." Clouse said as Garmadon stepped off the boat followed by the others.

"This pleasure is all mine, Clouse." Gramadon answered sarcastically. "I'm sure it is." Clouse sneered.

"Definitely feeling some tension between you two." Jay whispered to Sensei Gramadon. "Yeah, and how is it we're on an island I've never seen any map?" Kai asked.

"And care to explain how the face to Ninjago's most popular noodle house is secretly underground fighting tournament?" Cole demanded.

Clouse screamed like a frightened child as he shoved his way through the group of Ninja in a hysterical panic even trampling the girl with the red hair Kai had been in the fight with earlier.

"And care to explain what his problem is?" Lloyd questioned watching Clouse have is conniption. All the while screaming for Master Chen like his life depended on it.

"Ok, That I can't explain. But for everything else, Master Chen used to be a friend. Now he's a traitor. During the Serpentine Wars, Chen turned against his own kind and sided with the treacherous snakes." Sensei Garmadon explained.

"The battle you and Uncle Wu fought together in? He was an enemy?" Lloyd asked look to his father.

"He used deception to divide the Elemental Masters. We barely defeated the Serpentine, and in a deal for his surrender, Chen was to never leave this island. Little did we know, he'd begin to build his criminal empire in here." 

"He may have divided our ancestors, but he's not gonna divide us." Lloyd agreed. "Um, Lloyd aren't we already divided." Jay said seldom voicing the truth. The Ninja all looked down in shame.

The only reason they were here was for Zane, If it wasn't for that they wouldn't be here as a team or even speaking to one and other.

While walking up the stone steps to the dark-red double-doors, Kai stared behind at (Y/N), while Sensei Garmadon changed the subject explained to the ninja about how Chen was his former sensei and Clouse had been Chen's assistant since day one of the war.

When the doors opened, loud music could be heard. People wore large snake skulls on their heads, as well as red snake skins for coats. On their faces were purple tattoos shaped like snakes, and they all had fangs.

The Serpentine members of Treble Makers did not approve of this one bit...

Everyone seemed to slow down, as they entered in. A little creeped out by the people banging the drums. The room we headed into was red, gold, orange, and purple. In the middle of the back wall was another red double-door.

"So, this is the house that noodles built. I always wanted to go to a red carpet event." Jay said trying to find an upside.

Everyone sat in a circle and the door slammed open. A man wearing a large snake-head, along with a purple cape designed in similar fashion to the kind a king would wear, with the furry lining walked out.

There were red circles around his eyes, as if he hadn't slept in years. He had a large moustache and beard, as well as a huge, cheesy grin on his face.

"Welcome to the Tourn-!" Master Chen said began only to be interrupted by the door slammed open with a bang. And Clouse shrieking. "Master Chen!" throwing himself at Master Chen's feet and desperately clutching to Master Chen legs sobbing hysterically from fear.

"I forgot to mention he has a penchant for theatrics." Sensei Garmadon said rolling his eyes. "This is a big island. Zane could be anywhere. Keep an eye out." Cole whispered to his brothers.

"Clouse! You are ruining my big theatrical moment!" Master Chen growled. But Clouse just continued to sob frantically trying to tell Master Chen something that no one could make out.

"Is this some kind of show?" One of the Elemental Masters whispered to another. Who just shrugged in response.

"Clouse! This is getting awkward." Master Chen tried to pull himself free of Clouse. "You are a grown man. Stop this!"

But Clouse's hysteria continued, so much so that Master Chen had to drag himself and a sobbing Clouse back out the dark-red double-doors, and did not return.

The Serpentine glared angerly at Master Chen's people who were coveting around wearing large snake skulls on their heads and red snake skins for coats.

"Now what?" Karloff asked looking around. "Is he coming back?" Paleman questioned.

Two of Master Chen's people came forward to speak to the Treble Makers.

"You need to perform, while Master Chen's is indisposed." They told them gruffly.

Choken bared his huge, spiky teeth at the two men. Lasha grabbed one of his vials of Spitta's venom ready to use it on the offensive people.

Mezmo was holding Snappa back fro bitting the pair though he had to admit he wouldn't mind letting him go.

Echo just stood there innocently.

"If they choose to eat you, people, I will support them one hundred per cent." (Y/N) spat at Chen's people.

The two quickly scampered off away from the hostile musicians. "This gig blowsss, letsss get back on that boat and leave." Mezmo hissed letting go of Snappa.

The Elemental masters in the room all on watched with morbid curiosity.

"I'm with Mezmo. Let blow thisss joint and leave the weirdnessss to the camouflaged land dwellers." Lasha voiced.

"Sounds like a plan." (Y/N) agreed with them getting ready to leave.

"But what about Zane?" Echo asked quietly. "Echo, I know your brothersss death hasss been difficult for you to understand but he'sss not here." Choken told him as he patted him on his back.

"But Cole said. 'This is a big island. Zane could be anywhere. Keep an eye out.'" Echo quoted Cole.

(Y/N) gave Cole a hard look, but Sensei Garmadon stepped in. "My son received a letter telling us that Zane was alive and if we wanted to know more we had to enter this tournament."

"My brother is alive! My brother is alive." Echo happily said jumping up and down.

"Echo, no. Whoever told them that wassss lying." Mezmo tried to explain to him. But Echo wasn't listening.

"Well, this is a trap." (Y/N) announced plainly. "So face do I start punching in?"

(Master Chen and Clouse P.O.V)

Master Chen glared at the hysterical Clouse as he slapped him in the face trying to snap him out of it.

Clouse had been splitting about how. "She was here" and "how doomed they all were"

"Clouse you are a master of dark magic. How can you be terrified of one little girl?" Master Chen sighed.

"You don't understand sir, the realm I escaped from... Her eyes... That colour... She must be a servant of her... The Queen of darkness... If she is involved, we must not interfere, The Queen of Darkness is too powerful... She will destroy us all..." Clouse continued to wail.

"So you're not even sure if she even is a servant of this Queen?" Master Chen scoffed at Clouse.

"You must call of the tournament, it's our only hope." Clouse begged his Master.
