"Attention Ninjago, the descendant of our greatest traitor is finally locked away!" Lloyd announced on TV, attracting the attention of anyone watching. "She'll be staying there for life, or until we decide to give her the chair. That's what will happen to those who will betray their own kind for the dirty reptiles!"

Snapping upright, Chen panicked as he saw his unconscious daughter on air. "That brute!! How dare he!" He shrieked, thankfully the restaurant was closed for the day so no one lost their hearing. "I might not have any element or serpentine powers, but I can sure pack a punch when it comes to my baby girl!"

Down in the hidden cellar is a shortcut to the Serpentine caves, more specifically Pythor and his Anacondrai quarters. It was dug out just after the end of the war, when he found it he knew it was the perfect spot to build the restaurant over. "No one will suspect us going under the palace to find her, if only we knew exactly where she's being held.. Oh I sure hope my little Skylor isn't hurt.."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once Skylor had finally regained her conscious, she found herself in a dungeon cell and chained up with Vengestone. "Grrr... I can't believe I fell for such a stupid trick." She thought, trying to wriggle her way out of the chains.

"Don't bother, those binds are chained up tight. No metal can break through, I've tried for months now.." A voice called from further into the cell. She sounded frightened seeing a newcomer after so long. "Are you really the daughter of Amber Chen?"

"That I am, and I have her element. But what happened earlier with the droids was what made him snap. But who are you? How come the prince have some girl no one's seen or heard of in here?"

"No one after what happened between me and him, unless they were there.. I was arranged to marry him, I thought he and his uncle were fine people. Turns out he only married me to become ruler of all Ninjago.. I take it you had something similar?"

"Just a bit of flirting managed to get me hooked on Ray.. Unless that's not his real name, that fire master."

"You mean Kai? Yeah he thinks of himself as a big hotshot who gets all the girls, but I'm betting he gets with that green tyrant every night."

As she listened, Skylor kept struggling against the chains, then she discovered the Fangblade fell out of her belt pocket. "Oh! Metal might not saw through the chains, but bone might do it. Are your arms chained up too?"

Getting up, she managed to get a better look at the former princess. She had dirty blonde hair and a tattered green kimono, white face paint faded on her and a bent tiara. "My name is Harumi.. The Jade Princess." She greeted, breaking a chain link with the blade. "It would take a master of earth to break out, unless you're a fast digger."

Before she could respond, the ground shook with snakes burrowing underneath. "Skylor! My baby!" She was instantly wrapped into a bear hug by her dad, Clouse and Pythor. "Oh we were so worried! What happened? How were you snatched?"

"It's a long story.. But I'm just glad you're all here, how did you find your way here anyways?"

"The Constrictai know their way around any tunnels, all of the surface is mapped out." It was then when they saw Skylor wasn't alone. "Who's your friend? She's dressed like the prince."

"She's.. I guess his wife? But he didn't really love her."

"He said there was nothing between us! Can you believe that?! Two whole years meant nothing to him.."

"Come with us then, we'll get you a change of clothes and find a way to stop the prejudice against the snakes."
