Back on the Destiny's Bounty, a short green serpentine was trying to keep himself warm in his freezing cell. He had the build of an Anacondrai, but his scales were bright green as opposed to violet, as you can tell this was a rare crossbreed. He couldn't remember the last time he ever saw dry land, let alone the clear blue sky, that is until now.

"Clancee?"

"AAH!! oh c-c-captain Jay! I wasn't t-t-t-thinking of escaping th-th-this time! Honest!"

He never got to have a good look at the stuttering serpent, it was shocking to see what was always said to be a ruthless, cold hearted warrior act in such a way they would never think of. He was terrified of the lightning pirate, fearing what would happen whenever Jay went down to check on him. "Hey.. Hey, don't be like that."

"Well then how am I supposed to act around you?! You never said a word to me, you been saying to sell me to some far off country, you don't think of me as an actual living thing."

"I know.. It was a fault on me part, I was so focused on how Serpentine were portrayed by everyone I didn't think to find out for meself if they were actually true."

"Never t-t-trust a sn-n-nake I presume?"

"Ya know it. So ummm.. Tell me about yerself."

Clancee was in shock, he never expected a day would come where a human would want to engage in an actual conversation with a snake. "W-well my mother was an Anacondrai and my f-f-father was a Venomari, which m-m-m-means I can spit venom and swallow things t-ten times my size."

As he rambled on, Jay found they weren't too different after all. Sure they were built completely differently and came from very different backgrounds, but that didn't mean one species was superior to the other, they both deserved to live their best lives possible. "Yeah it's cheesy but it's true, surprisingly a lot of people still don't get that."

Meanwhile back at the Serpentine caverns, Kai and Cole were given a tour of how life was like under the city streets. "Yeesh, it's real cold down here. How could you even survive?"

"You have to make do with what you have, assss we were never permitted to go up to the ssssurface very often. If you only had poor land to live on you would underssstand." Skales explained, no human aside from the Chen family was ever in their caves before, so many snakes were hidden out of sight.

"Jeez, but that's still no reason to try and steal our land all those years back."

"Steal your land? How would you like to see the treaty we signed hmm? We had a very simple request, for us to live on the same land as them. Food was scarce and it would be a miracle for rain to come down, of course Aspheera didn't make things any better." Pythor added.

"Aspheera? You mean that old queen who invaded our side of Ninjago? I thought you would follow her to the ends of the universe and back."

"Her? Ha! All she ever did was hoard every last drop of water from us, she was an advisor who overthrew the true pharaoh when she somehow learnt Spinjitzu."

"That? The only ones who were ever taught Spinjitzu were Wu and his brother, how could she have learnt it? It's not something you can just watch from afar and suddenly you know all about it."

"Well however she obtained it she became a tyrant, undoing everything we tried to reason with the humans. It's because of her you decide to never trust a snake, you think we're all just like her. Wu grew so paranoid from what had happened that day that he convinced your ancestors to antagonize us! How would you have liked it if we made a mantra to never trust a mammal and waged war against you over something one human did?"

"I.. I guess we never thought of it like that. I bet Wu grew more bitter when you guys won the Serpentine war, but if you guys got to live on the same land as us why are you staying down here?"

"Let's just say a lot of you didn't take too kindly to living alongside reptiles, so once again we were divided, no thanks to that prince declaring that we once again can only reside below the surface."

The two elementals were at a loss of words, they lived their lives always thinking the snakes were dirty cheats that the prince and his uncle fought diligently to save humanity, only to discover nothing was all as it seemed. "Hey, you got a droid of your own too?"

"Hmm? You mean old Echo? He's the model your Zanes are based on, he's very old and falling apart but he knows all beings deserve protection. Bless his little motherboard."

This gave Kai and idea. "My sister lives just at the outskirts of town, mind lending him to me for a bit? It's time this old droid had an upgrade."
