(Third Person P.O.V)



To the surprise of all the Elemental Masters and Nya. Jormungand, the proud Anacondrai serpent with bright neon pink eyes along with Dareth the brown ninja of heart clinging to her back had surrounded most of Chen's forces preventing them from escaping the island.



(Y/N) was standing there with a smug look on her face watching with pride as Jormungand circled the trapped cultists.



"Still no sign of Chen?" Karlof, Master of Metal asked looking around for the slimy trickster amongst the cornered cultists.



"He must have escaped but we'll find them." Tox, Master of Poison announced with determination.



"Jormungand leave them to those idiots." (Y/N) responded nodding towards the Elemental Masters that had just arrived.



"Hey!" Griffin Turner shouted only to be met with a poisonous glare from (Y/N)'s glowing eyes.



The Master of Speed immediately shut his mouth. There was no doubt in anyone's mind was that there was bad blood between the Elemental Masters and (Y/N).



"Let's go home." (Y/N) called out with a happier tone to Jormungand who nodded in agreement.



"Dareth. Do you want a lift back to the mainland or do you want to stay here?" (Y/N) questioned as the brown ninja slid down Jormungand's back.



"What was that about?" Dareth asked noticing (Y/N) poisonous look at the elemental masters.



"Someone accused musician of being spy and sent others to attack her." Karlof informed the brown ninja.



"Alright! Which one of you was the coward that did it!" Dareth demanded prepared to defend (Y/N)'s honour and began warming up by punching and kicking the air.



(Y/N) on the other hand didn't seem to care which idiot was the culprit and silently climbed up on Jormungand's back ready to leave the island to its demise.



"We don't need another witch hunt." Sensei Garmadon warned the fighters.



"Oh, but it was completely ok when it was (Y/N) who was the centre of the witch hunt?" Dareth spat at Sensei Garmadon.



Jormungand let out a growl but (Y/N) soothed her by stroking down some of her large purple scales.



"It wasn't my dad." Lloyd declared defending his father from the accusations.



"Well, I want to know who it was." Dareth demanded. "Dareth lets go." (Y/N) beckoned to the brown ninja.



"No. You're always protecting others. It's time someone did the same for you." Dareth countered determined to do this before he left the island.



(Y/N) went to state something but Jormungand interrupted with some hissing. "See. Even YOUR-mun-gand wants to know." Dareth translated though having a troublesome time with the snake's name.



"She says Serpentine look out for one and other. You saved her from imprisonment now she will eat your enemies." The colour from Dareth's face drained away at the last part of the translation.



The Elemental Masters and Chen followers gasped in terror at the thought of being eaten by the giant serpent before them.



"No one is eating anyone." (Y/N) quickly clarified stopping the spread of panic before it started.



Jormungand let out a disappointed hiss. "You don't know what diseases they have." (Y/N) whispered to Jormungand who then perked up.



"Both of you leave it be. They are all guilty through action and inaction. let's go." (Y/N) declared completely willing to give up on attaining Clouse's spellbook if it meant stopping Jormungand from feasting on all who dwelled on the island in the name of protecting her and starting a second war for the Serpentine.



Jormungand smacked her armoured tail against the ground in defiance. It was too late now Jormungand and Dareth were too absorbed with this to let this insult and transgressions against (Y/N) pass without being rectified.



Seeing no other way out Cole stepped forward to prevent things from escalating. "I know who did it." Cole admitted everyone turned to look at him.



Jormungand let out a hiss. "Well spit it out." Dareth translated for the rilled up Serpentine.



"I don't want to say it... It will only cause more fighting..." Cole said looking down on the ground.



Paleman, Master of Light nodded to Neuro, Master of Mind who promptly read Cole's mind. "It was... Her!" Neuro declared singling out Nya to everyone.



One of Chen's followers lent over to another and whispered. "I wish I had some snacks."



"I know. This is getting good." The other whispered back to him.



"Nya! How could you!" Dareth demand wanting an answer from the little sister of the fire ninja.



Nya stood there to nervous to speak with the whole island staring at her at that moment.



"Why am I not surprised. After all (Y/N) has done to protect you from Chen after you attacked her; that you once again try to hurt her." Dareth shouted pointing at Nya.



(Y/N) was just shaking her head while her face was in her hand covering it from having to gaze at the spectacle progressing on down below.



Nya finally found her voice. "What do you mean 'protect me' from Chen!" Nya spat back.



"The kabuki make up that you were wearing when you attacked (Y/N) rubbed off and stained her jacket."



The stain on the front of (Y/N)'s grey jacket from the kabuki makeup was still there for all to see.



"That was you?" Tox said not expecting an answer. Nya rubbled the back of her neck.



"(Y/N), why did you cover for Nya and protect her from Chen?" Sensei Garmadon inquired.



(Y/N) grumbled a little before finally saying it loud enough for all to hear. "Because there were more important things at that moment then getting retribution like saving Zane." (Y/N) admitted like a scolded child.



Jay ruffled Zane's hair and Zane produced a huge smile. Sensei Garmadon smiled and began to give a lecture to all. "See now this is over let us put this behind us and-"



"I didn't say this was over." (Y/N) said correcting Sensei Garmadon and all the Elemental Master's turned to stare at (Y/N) on top of Jormungand's head.



Sensei Garmadon was suddenly overwhelmed with a bad feeling. "(Y/N), what do you mean by that."



"This is the last time I aid any Elemental Master or their siblings." (Y/N) proclaimed in a matter of fact tone.



"What?" Lloyd cried out and (Y/N) rolled her eyes at this. "(Y/N) you can't mean that. We just got our family back together."



Jormungand let out a long hiss and Dareth translated for her. "She already has a family, one that will never betray her, unlike your kind."



Lloyd started to tear up and held onto Zane for support. "(Y/N), don't do this. Please." Jay pleaded to the girl he loved. "The teams finally whole once again lets all start over."



"(Y/N) give us another chance." Cole tried to no avail. There would be no escaping this punishment that Nya had earnt for them. "I'm not counted in this am I?" Dareth quickly urged in alarm.



"No, Dareth. You and I are still on good standings." (Y/N) announced reassuring the brown ninja that he was not going to share in the others punishment.



"(Y/N), don't let Chen divide us." Sensei Garmadon reasoned with her though it was too late. The damage was done. Via the jealous hands of one of their own.



"This has nothing to do with Chen or anyone else. You brought this on yourselves, Ninja. Not Chen." (Y/N) calmly and truthfully corrected the Sensei.



No half-hearted words or forced apologise would smooth this over, for the ninja's this time there was no going back.



What little trust they had built with (Y/N) was gone. They had lost it through their own foolish actions.



It was devastating for the ninja who were present to hear this but it was the truth, they had severed the bonds between them with (Y/N) by their own actions, not Chen.



"Never appear before me again, Ninja. If you oppose me in my travels or exploits I will see you as foes from now on." (Y/N) warned with the last bit of kindness in her heart for them.



Jormungand took this as the sign to leave and headed towards the ocean. "Hey wait for me." Dareth shouted as he ran up and jumped on Jormungand's back as she slivered across the ocean with ease towards the mainland and back to the tribe.



"Wait. Serpentine can swim?" Jay shouted watching Jormungand swim away with (Y/N) and Dareth on her back.



Sensei Garmadon suddenly groaned and fell over clawing at his back as the serpent tattoo there began to glow.



"Dad!? What's wrong?" Lloyd demanded tears still in his eyes as other Elemental Masters present gathered around Sensei Garmadon.



"Something inside me... Something is happening..." Sensei Garmadon explained as he cried out in pain.



Sensei Garmadon body began to morph and change into a purple half snake humanoid. "The spell... Chen must have completed the spell... Anyone with the mark of the Anacondrai will be affected that means..." Sensei Garmadon stated still very weak from the transformation.



The Elemental Masters quickly turned and witnessed that Chen's disciples were likewise transformed into Pseudo-Anacondrai and free to engage them in battle.



"Let's get them, guys!" One of the Pseudo-Anacondrai shouted and charged at the Elemental Masters.



(Y/N) dipped her hand into her jacket pocket and pulled out the fortune from her fortune cookie: "Always sleep with one eye open. Your allies might just be your enemies."



"What's that? The fortune from the fortune cookie?" Dareth questioned looking at the peice of paper.



(Y/N) crushed it in her hand and let the wind carry the foutune away. (Y/N) paused thinking about Dareth's fortune.



"Dareth, lets get you some cookies when we get back." (Y/N) said much to Dareth's delight.
