"Wow.. Was that really the Prince's dad? He acts so differently." Skylor wondered once the vision faded.

"That it was, but it's clear he takes more after his hate filled uncle Wu. No one knows how Garmadon and his wife, Misako passed away shortly after his birth, but of course all blame is pitted onto the Serpentine."

"I don't know what we would have to gain for assassinating him, he and Skylor's mum helped us obtain some rights.. Even if we still face so much prejudice." Pythor motioned to the window, seeing an old serpentine being tossed to the side by more droids. "Never trust a snake my tail! Thanks to that mantra we have to reside underground, always living in fear."

"Surely there's some way to get the message out that you're constantly trampled on for no reason. Do any other stores let snakes in?"

"Just your noodle house, and that cake shop close to our cave entrance. We're either turned away from others or treated as scum, we've tried telling other humans about this to no avail. They say we deserved it somehow, for insignificant petty reasons! It's hopeless.."

"Grr.. My mom was able to prevent that war from getting worse, I might manage to put a stop to this too. Somehow.."

The leader of the droids still had the young redhead in mind as he approached a large palace adorned in green. "She dared to defy the prince, dared to believe the Serpentine lies. She must be silenced, I'd like to see how her weak mimicking powers could take on a master of Earth." He thought as he entered the throne room.

Sitting on a golden throne decorated in emeralds was none other than the famed Jade Prince, a large, blonde young man in a dark green kimono. He was indulging himself with beer until the droid bowed at his feet. "Well? This had better be important Zane, you know I hate it when anyone interrupts my leisure time."

"Forgive me my prince, for you see my liege of Nindroid guards were obliterated. We were about to arrest a stubborn Anacondrai when this girl intervened." Blinking, Zane projected an image of Skylor from his eyes. "Her name is Skylor Chen, cashier from Master Chen's Noodle House and daughter of the owner, George Chen."

"My uncle told me all about that guy, betraying his own kind during the Serpentine war, leading to us losing the battle. If the elementals had won, we would have banished him and his family to an abandoned island, never to be seen again." The prince growled.

"She appears to have inherited her mother's element, she had the nerve to use my own powers against me! If she dares to step outside her little noodle restaurant, I'll bring a hailstorm right down on her!"

"I'm sure you will, but it seems we can't challenge her to a fight without losing any more security droids. Tell them to keep it on the down low for a few days, then when they least expect it, pluck her out of the streets and throw her in the cells! They're made of pure Vengestone, so there's no way she can escape."

"In with your fiance? You are a sly one, Prince Lloyd. But I will do what I can, the snakes will fall when they find out Amber's own bloodline is no more."
