Back at the restaurant, old Chen was getting nervous about Skylor. He saw the droids frozen on the news along with a familiar looking snake trail. "Pythor must have been assaulted, oooh if I get my hands on those tin cans! I'd like to give them a piece of my mind, I'd chop em up and serve them with sesame oil!!"

He never stopped worrying about his daughter whenever she went out, as she was the only family he had left. Well, her and a warlock he lived with ever since Amber passed away. Clouse Mae was his name, he may not have had any elemental powers, but his magic made him just as powerful. He acted as Skylor's godfather ever since she was born, as Amber passed away during birth.

The younger man was on his way, bringing a bouquet to help cheer him up. "Closed already? Must have been a slow day, hopefully he's not asleep." He thought as he went inside. The building itself has two storeys, the ground floor was where the restaurant is while the floor above held a small flat with three bedrooms and a bathroom.

In his room was the noodle chef himself, Chen cooked all the delectable dishes while Skylor worked the register and delivered any orders to go. "Ah, is there something on your mind Chen?"

"Clousey! Oh it's always a pleasure having you here, have you seen my child? It's been almost an hour since she left."

"I'm sorry, she's been out of my sight as well. But she's eighteen, I'm sure she can take care of herself."

The older man was about to respond when he heard a car pull up. "She's here! Oh Skylor!!"

She was instantly met with a bear hug, wincing when her arm was pressed down. "Aw Dad, I'm alright. Just got into an accident along the way.."

"Looks a lot more than that to me, just stay there while I get a cast." Chen panicked, carrying her to a booth.

Pythor slithered in after them, feeling responsible for what had happened earlier. "It was the security droids again, they blamed me for some fight going on before I even went in."

"That explains the melted ice on the both of you, I can cast a healing spell but it'll take a while to take effect." Clouse offered, murmuring an ancient language to Skylor's cast. "That spoiled brat would send his droids to anyone he has a vendetta against."

"The Jade Prince? You sound like you know him."

"His father actually, years ago when it was just Chen, your mother and I living together. Better to show than tell." He then used another spell, but this one shown a a vision of the past.

Training together was young Clouse with a brown haired man, Chen and Amber watched from their monastery. They were preparing for the upcoming battle that would be in the nearby village, as much as they didn't want to do so. "I was hoping my newborn wouldn't have to grow up in a warzone." The brunette stranger muttered.

"It's not much we can do about it, the other elemental masters made up their minds. Your brother really despises snakes now doesn't he?"

"After Aspheera, he was more than heartbroken when she attacked. This gave him the idea to never trust a snake, no matter how much the other Serpentine disliked her rule. If they could just have a civil talk, he'd understand they mean well."

This gave Amber an idea. "Civil conversation you say? We could get everyone together for a peace treaty, but I'll need to convince the elementals to sign it along with the serpents."

"After what they did to the Master of Earth when he switched sides, they could hurt you too. I can't have you being killed out there.."

"I'll be alright Chen, I am the master of mimickry after all. Any element I come in contact with I can control."

The vision flash foreword a few years, the serpentine generals were standing victorious in front of a blonde man still holding out against the snakes. "Wu, you can't go on hating snakes forever. It's ridiculous." The brunette from before told him, getting in front of the snakes.

"The only ridiculous one here is you! Garmadon, how could you side with these filthy reptiles?!"

Knowing he was unable to convince him otherwise, he left in a huff.
