Chapter Thirteen
"You're kidding right? It's not like we're ninjas, so we know absolutely nothing about stealth."
"Maybe not us, however there is one element that you can absorb. The master of light should be in the city at the moment, touch him and you'll be invisible to the naked eye."
"Like how the Anacondrai can blend into any environment? Hopefully I won't run into any tr-"
But before she could finish her sentence, a blast of cold air swept through the city. "Ah!! What the hell was that?!"
Not wanting to stop and find out, the trio rushed off as quickly as they could to the noodle house. Looking out the window, Skylor watched in horror as she saw an army of heavily armored droids freezing any snake in sight along with any protestors attempting to shield them. "Grr, that prince!"
Back outside, Wu smirked as he watched the droids on their destructive rampage. "Yes, make them all pay. Oh if only Aspheera can see it all now, watching as all her descendants fall at our hands! If those twins didn't betray us later on we could have done this in the past, ensuring that we would win the war and lock them all away! Never seeing the light of the sun ever again!"
Lloyd was taking part in the chaos on his new golden dragon, eying the nearly frozen over noodle house. "Aha! That run down restaurant will make the perfect target, they dared to believe the Serpentine propaganda, thinking they're just a bunch of misunderstood snakes. Well they're wrong! They should have never trusted a snake, time for them to pay."
A beam of golden light shot right out of the dragon's mouth, engulfing the entire building in bright flames. "You three! Check and make sure there are no survivors! I want Chen's head on a stake, and make sure his little brat gets reeducated on the truth about those snakes she cares so dearly about."
Bowing to their prince, Kai, Jay and Cole made their way through the collapsing building. "No sign of them anywhere, bet no one can survive such a beatdown like that!" The lightning pirate smirked, kicking a pole down.
"I wouldn't get cocky, that girl found her way out of the dungeons before, so there's got to be some hidden passageways in here too." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of their targets fleeing through the cellar door. "You won't get away from me this time!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Down under the streets the Serpentine generals were keeping all five tribes together in the Anacondrai caves, all the destruction and freezing going on above ground didn't go unheard. "We're still missing Lasha, Chokun and Selma. One of us is going to have to go above ground to find them."
"Ssselma?! Out of my way!" Skales snapped, slithering to the nearest ladder, only to be stopped by Pythor.
"We can't risk you too, I'll go get her."
"I musssst! She'sssss my mate and hassss our egg, they're depending on me!"
"I will go, my ssspit can impair the droidssss."
"Let ussss-"
"Bite them!"
As the five argued over who would go up, a stream of fire shot through the caves. "Ah!! How did they find us here?!"
In a flash the flames were doused by frost, but that wasn't the end of it. Skylor and Kai were dueling too close by, one wrong step and someone could get a nasty third degree burn. "You don't know what you're doing! If you would just give them a chance-"
"A chance?! They're all crooks! A bunch of dirty reptiles, they waged war on us years ago!!"
"Did you ever ask why it happened? Why they had enough of that fragile truce?"
"What's there to know?! They had their own land and pyramids, why would they want our land too?"
"They didn't want your land! They just wanted to be treated as equals, just because they didn't originate from Ninjago doesn't mean they should be shoved aside and treated as unimportant. How would you feel if all you had was a desert as land just because you weren't from that land?"
Kai did let his rage die down, but he was still hard on his belief to never trust a snake. "Just think about it next time, alright? Think what would happen if you decided to open your ears for a change, and not just for that prince of yours."
In a huff, the fire elemental stormed out of the cave. "Listen to snakes?. I guess they have been quiet lately."
