// Story: Spike The Spinjitzu Master 
// by Dragonfan101 
//------------------------------//

We open to another shot of the Bounty on a sunny day, Spike and the others were finishing up another day of training after Lloyd was taken, Spike's gotten a lot more skill since he started training as a ninja, and while he's not the best fighter ever, he's definitely far more skilled with his weapons and powers since he's arrived, and right now, he and the others were waiting for Zane to finish up with his training, and he tested himself out by staying underneath the water for a really long time.
"10 minutes! He's broken his own record the guys inhuman!" Kai said amazed while they looked at a watch with shock.
"How can he handle himself down there for so long?" Spike asked with shock as the camera dives deep down into the ocean floor where Zane was quietly meditating on the floor, he saw a fish swim by and gave it a little pet before it swam off and Zane swam all the way back to the surface and gasped for air.

"That was amazing!" Cole said with joy while they all cheered for him.
"Way to go Zane!" Spike complimented while they helped him back up.
"Did I break the record?" Zane asked curiously because of their reactions.
"You destroyed it!" Kai declared while holding the watch out. 
"It was something to behold for ages!" Spike said waving his hands around with excitement.
"Okay, okay, is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? We've been training for so long, I don't think we can get any better! Just think about all we've accomplished!" Jay said with amazement while they all reflected on their achievements they've done with training.

The Weekend Whip plays over a montage of what Spike and the ninja were able to do with their improved skills and training, Kai was able to run over a long mile of hot stones that were beneath his feat and never felt a burn from them, and Jay was able to hang himself upside down on the very top of a huge building during a thunderstorm, Spike was able to perfectly use all 4 of his new powers, Spike used his Trident to test out each power, he used Earth to smash down some dummies into pieces, he then used Lightning to blast dozens more away, Ice to freeze them below they're feet and shatter the ice on them for tougher damage, and he breathed fire on an entire group and burnt them to ash. And Cole made great use of his huge strength by lifting extremely heavy weights along with Jay and Nya for additional weight.

We cut back to normal time after Spike and the others reflected on what they've done.
"I can't believe I've gotten the hang of my powers! I didn't even think this would ever happen!" Spike said with amazement while he shot out fire from his hands.
"You've come a long way since you joined us pal, I think it's safe to say your a full on ninja like all of us by now!" Kai said while patting his back.
"Your friends would be proud to know what you've been able to do here Spike, and when that egg of yours hatches, there will be more for us to do as well." Zane said with a smile while they were making they're way to Wu, he was currently within his room and was looking over a very old sword he had as a kid, and sighed sadly at the thought of his brother, and Lloyd's capture. 
"Well every morning, I do 500 push ups!" Zane said in the distance while Wu put the sword away.
"I've gotten the hang of doing them without much sweat, I can do them with one hand at this point!" Spike said confidently which got Wu's attention as they were walking into the place. 

"Sound like a great warm up for the both of us buddy! Sensei, what does true potential look like if..." Cole was about to ask him something, but they all noticed he was looking upset right now.
"Forgive us Wu, sorry we barged in like this.." Spike said as they all bowed in respect.
"I'm sorry that I've been distant lately, my mind has gone elsewhere since Lloyd was captured by the Serpentine. What can I help you all with?" Wu asked while he was looking out the window.
"Sensei, what if we've done enough training? What if we've reached our true potential, Spike's got a ways to go still sure, but what if we're all ready?" Cole asked wondering if they've achieved it.
"Hmm, you might have reached peak physical condition, but you've yet to reach your inner potential. In each and every one of us, only when you conquer that fear, will your heart be free. Only then will you reach your True potential, and we may have a fighting chance against the Serpentine, and stopping them from awakening the Great Devourer." Wu explained while looking over all of them.
"I knew it had something to do with our inner strength.." Spike whispered to himself as he looked back at the egg he's had for a while, and wondered if that will be what it is.

"There's something more to  this story sensei, isn't there?" Zane asked as he saw something through this which made Wu sigh in response.
"I too have obstacles I have to face in my own heart, there is a story I have never told you all. There are many I haven't told you.." Wu said as we cut to a flashback of when Wu was a kid and was alongside his brother, Garmadon, before he was corrupted by evil.
"Long ago, when I was a young boy, Garmadon and I were more then brothers, we were the best of friends.." Wu narrated while they were sparring against eachother with swords.
"Wait a minute! Now I know you two were brothers, but really? The King of Cruelty, Dueler of Destruction, and you two we're.. friends?" Jay asked confused to hear this.
"Please no interruptions." Wu replied as he began to resume this story of his.

"You see, he did not always have a wicked heart, one day.. I lost this very katana.." Wu narrated as Garmadon accidentally knocks Wu's sword over the Monastery walls while they're father didn't see it at first.
"Knowing our father would be mad, my brother told me to retrieve it, but I refused... He told me not to put off what can be done today, and went to get it himself." Wu narrates as Garmadon climbs over the walls and lands on the other side, he sees the sword just near a bush nearby, and was about to retrieve it while a sinister snake was watching, but he didn't even have time to react before the snake bit down on Garmadon's hand and was injected with it's venom, Garmadon's vision was starting to get blurry and that snake was the last thing he saw before he passed out from the venom.

"When my father found him, he was very ill, he was bitten by a legendary snake that would continue to grow forever, the more it consumes.." Wu said with regret as the snake makes a loud monsterous hiss upon any prey it finds..
"A great evil had found it's way into my brother's heart, for the snakes venom could turn the purest of things wicked." Wu explained as his young self was checking on his brother who was looking upset at his father.
"Leave it! Leave me alone! I don't need you! I hate you! " Garmadon said to his father which shocked him hearing this.
"The snake is the very same one who the Serpentine want to unleash today." Wu said as his past self feels a sinister snake shadow looming around him as he hears his brother in pain.
"Ah! It hurts! It's all Wu's fault!" Garmadon said with anger as his eyes glowed red which scarred him enough to run away from the place.

"It was the snake, that took my brother away from me.." Wu finished while everyone looked shocked to hear all of this.
"Sensei, I had no idea, I'm so sorry this all happened.. I.. I wish I could've done something to stop it.." Spike said with regret to know Garmadon's sad backstory. 
"It's okay Spike, but it was all my fault, you weren't meant to be there at all either." Wu said sadly while he packed up his sword like he was about to leave.
"You 5 have completed your training, Spike's just a bit behind you as of now, but with proper guidance from you all, he will master himself in time, just like all of you. You must now focus on stopping Pythor from finding the 4 Fang Blades, but never stop focus on the obstacles each of your hearts have, that hold you back from true greatness, unlocking your True Potential." Wu advised while looking over them.

"How are we supposed to do that sensei?" Wu asked while he handed Spike the egg that was on the shelf for safety.
"It is up to you to discover that for yourselves, each of you has something you need to overcome, and I have to go on a personal journey of my own." Wu said while he was leaving the room.
"Where are you going?" Wu asked worried for what he's gonna do.
"To a place, you cannot follow." Wu said feeling regret to say this.
"Are you going after Lloyd? The city is full of hundreds of Serpentine! You'll never do it alone!" Cole said with worry for him.
"I am going to find someone who will be of aid, the Serpentine have united and become stronger, we need all the help we can get." Wu said hopefully as we cut to them on a mountain where Wu was taking his leave.
"Safe travels sensei, be careful out there. Thanks for all you've done for me, truly" Spike said gratefully he shook his hand again. 
"You are welcome Spike, take care of that egg, I feel it will be something to help us all in the future." Wu replied as he began taking his leave, the Bounty began to fly in the air and they all watched Wu leave them for a journey of his own.

Meanwhile with Pythor and the rest of the snakes, they were searching for clues on how to find the Fang Blades, but weren't getting anything so far.
"It says nothing about where the Fang Blades are hidden! Have our Ancestors left us nothing?! Where are they?!" Scales asked frustrated to see this.
"This, here! This must be a clue! The 5 Fangs unite as one, the path towards the Devourer has begun." Pythor said while they all moved to the table in the center.
"Yes, when the 5 tribes unite, but we've done that already, this means nothing! If you don't find out something soon, the others will begin to ask questions!" Scales hissed while slamming his staff down.
"I know what I'm doing you fool1 I'm trying to unleash the Great Devourer! Hmm.. legend spoke of a special map where the 4 Fang Blades are shown, there must be something around here.. keep looking!" Pythor ordered as they tried finding anything to find them.

We cut to another part of a town where Spike and the others had went to right now, they went to spread out some flyers to ask people to call them if they see any reports of a Fang Blade being sighted.
"You sure this will work Nya?" Spike asked while he held out dozens of flyers for them.
"I'm sure it will work, not all people ignore missing signs like these, maybe they'll find a clue for us to find them faster!" Nya suggested while everyone shook they're heads and didn't buy this.
"Maybe Wu went to find that Samurai for help?" Jay suggested which made Nya flinch a bit.
"Oh him? I'm sure he's got his own business to do by himself!" Spike said nervously while trying to hide it.
"I'm sure he's busy searching for them as well!" Kai said agreeing to this while being nervous too.
"Is everything alright guys?" Cole asked confused with they're reactions.
"We're fine Cole! Nothing to worry about!" Spike said with a nervous smile.
"100 percent! We're not hiding anything!" Nya said nervously while the others were still confused.

Zane was about to hang up some more flyers, but he suddenly noticed the falcon was flying around in the air just above them, and it caused him to drop all the flyers from the surprise.
"Hey, your making a mess on my store front! Maybe I should teach you a lesson on manners!" The store owner said annoyed at this.
"I'm sorry sir, sometimes our friend is in another world!" Kai apologized while Spike went by his side.
"Zane, what is it?" Spike asked curious with what he's seeing, he looked just ahead to where he's looking at and looked surprised when he saw the falcon was flying around the area.
"It's the falcon! Everytime we follow it, it leads us to good fortune!" Jay said amazed as they began chasing after it.
"Head back to the Bounty and wait till you hear from us." Kai instructed while turning to Nya.
"Where are you going?" Nya asked confused on this sudden move of theirs.
"We're gonna follow the bird, maybe it'll lead us to the first Fang Blade!" Kai said hopefully as he started catching up with the others too while Nya sighed hearing this.

Spike and the others chased after the falcon for what felt like hours to them, they ran across the dessert to keep up with it, and even across the snowy mountains high above Ninjago.
"How far is this thing going?" Spike asked while they kept chasing after it. The falcon continued flying up the mountains where they had to climb, but while they can run for a long time now, some have more stamina then others.
"Keep going I'll.. I'll catch up later.." Jay said tiredly as he layed down on a rock to rest.
Spike and the remaining ninja continued running across the place and were about to go over a large tree that was like a bridge, but they heard Cole breathing heavily and they saw he was tired out too.
"I'm good, I'm just.. taking a breather! I'll meet up with you shortly.." Cole said as he felt exhausted from all the running.

Spike, Kai and Zane continued running after the falcon even after they've ran dozens of miles across Ninjago, and were heading into a strange snowy forest. 
"Good thing.. we're in.. peak.. physical.. condition.." Kai said tiredly as he was getting tired from the running too while he kept running after them. The falcon continued flying through the forest without ever stopping for a rest, Spike himself was getting tired from the running and breathed heavily as Kai caught up with them.
"Gosh that bird just keeps going! ugh... hey.. what do you make of this?" Kai asked as they saw a nearby sign that said Beware of Treehorns.
"I do not know what a Treehorn is...
"I don't think I've heard of that name before." Spike replied confused on what that means.
"It's probably just some wild squirrels..." Kai said tiredly as they saw the falcon was still flying ahead of them.
"Well don't lost them guys! I'll wait for the others to catch up." Kai advised which was all they needed.
"Good idea, take a rest Kai, you need it.." Spike said as he took another breath before he and Zane continued to run after it.

Spike was just surprised with how long he was able to keep on running, he's ran for what felt like hundreds of miles, if there's one thing he's gonna be good at now, it's being an athlete thanks to his skills, but he himself was feeling tired after all of it now.
"Where are we going? Our mysterious friend?" Zane asked curiously as they kept running after it
"How has that bird never needed a rest?!" Spike asked tiredly seeing this, but the falcon was suddenly beginning to spark up and was starting to slow down which surprised them, the falcon soon fell on the ground and they finally could get a closer look at it.. but what they saw.. surprised them both.
"Your.. a robot?!" Zane asked shocked to see it has gears inside it.
"Who.. who built this? How.. how is this even possible?!" Spike asked shocked to see this too, Zane and Spike picked the bird up to see where they could fix it, but a large metal sound caught they're attention and they had to put the thing down for a moment.

"What was that? Who's there?!" Spike asked while drawing his weapon. 
"On your guard my friend. We are not along here..." Zane said seriously while they looked around the forest. 
"There!" Spike shouted as they finally saw a strange large robot just ahead of them.
"Intruders! Intruders! Prepare to be terminated!" The robot said as it took out a machine gun and began firing at the two of them.

"Watch out!" Spike shouted while he drew his weapon and twirled it around to deflect each and every shot it fired at them, Zane took out his weapons and formed his motorbike to use against the mech, Spike got on the bike too and they quickly drove around the forest while avoiding it's blasts, Zane drove all the way up to a pile they could jump off of and Zane kicked the vehicle into high speeds which sent them flying into the air, the motorbike vanished again and Spike and Zane threw they're weapons at the mech to stop it's firing, Spike stabbed his weapon down on a blaster to keep it from firing at them, while Zane saw a glass case of gears behind it's back.

Spike! Go for the gears behind it!" Zane instructed while Spike backflipped away from the robot's attacks, Spike and Zane stood against the robot and taunted it to strike first, the robot made a lock on the both of them as they ran directly to it from the camera's perspective, and at the right moment, Spike and Zane flipped over a tree to dodge them.
"Ninja go!!" Spike and Zane shouted as they used they're Spinjitzu to cause the snow to pile up to give them a boost.
"Intruders! Intruders! Prepare to be terminated!" The robot said again while Spike and Zane ran up to the ledge they made, and they flipped across the robot lasers at the right moment, Spike drew his Trident again and he stabbed the robot's back to break through the glass, and Zane finished it off by ripping the gears out of it. This caused the robot to malfunction and it sparked all over before making a salute of respect before it fell down and was finally shut down.

Spike and Zane took heavy breaths again and tried to recover from the fight.
"We make a great team Zane, that was awesome!" Spike said amazed while high fiving him.
"You've learned a lot my friend, great work." Zane said with a smile under the mask as they inspected the robot, but then they noticed the robot had a similar symbol to what the falcon was like.
"The same symbol.." Zane said with fascination as they saw this.
"Does this mean they were made by the same person?" Spike asked curious as they got off the thing, and went back to the falcon again. 
"Where have you brought us our falcon friend?" Zane asked as they saw an odd looking tree just ahead of them with a strange door.
"Is this.. a home?" Spike asked confused as he opened the thing for them. The two walked inside the place and went down a spiral of stairs to what looked like the center, it looked like both a laboratory and a home to whoever once lived here, and they even saw some blueprints on the table just ahead of them, Spike and Zane saw there was one of the falcon and saw there was a problem with it.
"So, this is where the falcon came from.." Zane said with fascination as they looked at the blueprints.

"Hey Zane, i think we can fix the falcon if we just do.. this.." Spike said as he and Zane took a few spare parts and used them to repair the falcon, and it didn't take long for the falcon to finally get back up and it flapped it's wings normally again.
"You brought us here, but why?" Zane asked curiously as the falcon flew around the room a bit. But that's when Spike and Zane noticed another blueprint just below the falcons, and they're curiosity got the better of them, but what they saw under it.. shocked them to no end.
"No.. this.. that.. this can't be real! That can't be true!" Spike said in shock as Zane dropped the blueprints from complete shock.
"No.. it.. it can't be! No.. NO! NOOOOO!!!!" Zane screamed which echoed through the entire house while Spike looked at Zane in disbelief with this discovery..

Meanwhile with Wu, he was making his way to an old shop that he's known for a while, and went in to get something special.
"I would like to purchase some Travelers Tea." Wu asked as an old woman named Mystake had come into the room.
"Never heard of it!" Mystake said pretending not to know it, Wu knew this was gonna cost more then normal, and placed a large amount of coins on the table to purchase it, Mystake saw he wasn't going back on this and went to retrieve a special flower that Wu will need.
"You know, those who drink this never return." Mystake said while she handed him a teapot of the stuff.
"Then I will not bother you again." Wu assured as he left the room with Mystake and the kid at the desk looking confused to see this.


Kai and the others had eventually met up with eachother and followed where Zane and Spike went after hearing some noise from this place.
"Zane, Spike? You in here?" Kai asked as they were finally entering the place, and they saw Spike and Zane at the center of the room and saw they were in complete shock seeing something in front of them.
"Wow, would you look at this place? Zane, Spike? What's wrong guys?" Jay asked with worry as they finally came up to them.
"It's.. hard to explain guys.. really hard.." Spike said sadly while he tried comforting Zane over this realization. Zane sighed sadly and looked at the blueprints they found together, and it was a strange drawing of what looked like Zane.. Zane picked it up and had a look of sadness upon realizing what he really is. 
"Hey, what are you...?" Cole asked right before Zane opened up his chest and everyone screamed in fear as they finally were shown what he is.

"Your.. a robot?!"  Kai asked shocked too find this out about his friend.
"It's just as shocking for us, as it is for you.." Spike said as he tried processing what he's learned.
"All this time.. and I never knew.." Zane said regretfully to know this.
"Then I guess this explains why your always so weird, right?" Jay asked while chuckling nervously.
"The reason I never had a sense of humor, was because my Funny Switch wasn't on.." Zane said as he flipped the thing on which made Zane suddenly start to dance around in a silly way.
"Hello my baby! Hello my honey! Hello my ragtime gal! Send me a kiss by a wire!" Zane said in a singing tone while he danced around in a funny way which made Jay laugh pretty hard while Spike chuckled a bit before he turned it off finally.

"Uh.. this just makes you more special, your still the same Zane, just more.. gears." Cole said nervously while trying to help him.
"No matter what your made of, your still our brother." Kai said as they tried helping him up.
"Really?" Zane asked a bit surprised to hear this.
"Of course, you've done so much for us, even the way you are now, your still our friend, and brother." Spike assured while helping him up.
"Yeah, and how cool is it to say, my brother is a Nindroid?" Jay asked while declaring something for Zane.
"A Nindroid?" Zane asked confused to hear that.
"Come on buddy, Pythor is still out there and searching for the first Fang Blade, and we need you." Cole assured while wanting to go, but Zane needed time to process this news he's had.
"You'll have to go on without me.. I just.. don't feel right.." Zane said sadly while he looked back at the blueprints.
"We'll catch up in a bit guys.. I need to help my friend.." Spike said as he went to help Zane, they all understood this and left the two to try and process what they've learned about him.

Kai and the others went back out the tree to let them process this for a bit.
"We just have to give him time, I don't know how I would feel if I was told I was a robot." Kai said with worry for his friend.
"You mean Nindroid." Jay corrected with a smile.
"Yeah, whatever." Kai replied feeling a bit annoyed.
"Now, how do we get out of this place? Hold on.. what's that?" Cole asked worried as a strange loud sound caught they're attention.
"Cute tiny birds?" Jay asked nervously while they put on they're masks, and Cole saw something moving just ahead of them.
'Did you see that?!" Cole asked as there was something huge ahead.
"I just saw something move too! Treehorns!" Kai shouted as a strange group of monsters called Treehorns surrounded them all, they looked next to them and saw the robot Spike and Zane had taken down a few minutes back.
"Oh great, I think that thing was supposed to protect this place! Guys, it's up to us!" Kai said seriously as they began trying to fight the monsters off.

Jay drew his chucks and jumped directly at one of the monsters legs and tried knocking them off it's feet while more kept attacking them, Kai tried attacking one of the Treehorns but was kicked down by one of them and got flung all the way back to the robot as a result. Cole grabbed one of their legs and spun it around to take down a few more of them before he threw it into another, but they just kept coming back.
"There's just too many of them!" Cole shouted as they're legs were blocking they're way of fighting back. 

Spike and Zane continued to look at the blueprints of Zane with worry, and they didn't know how to solve this issue they've discovered.
"Zane.. what do we do? How can I help you? I don't know what I can do, but there's gotta be something, right?" Spike asked hoping there was. 
"I think there is.. a.. Memory Switch.." Zane said as he found the switch inside him, and he flicked it on which finally caused all the memory's he's had to flood back inside him.

Zane remembered everything that happened from the first day he was built, he was built by a brilliant scientist named Dr. Julien, a person who made Zane to be as a son, Zane remembered everything he went through with Julien, he was a caring father who was always there for him no matter what, they built the falcon together, made food together, no matter how old Julien got, he was always a caring father for him.
"You were built to protect those who cannot protect themselves.." Julien said as Zane let a butterfly fly off, but no matter how many years went by.. eventually.. Zane's father had fallen ill, and his age couldn't help him recover, Zane was standing next to his father while he layed down on his bed, and wanted to give one last piece of advise to his son.
"You've always been the son I never had.. it's time you begin your next stage in life.. and the only reason I'm about to do this, is because.. I love you.. " Julien said weakly as he took of his glasses to look him in the eyes, Zane looked at this with a sad smile and Julien had no choice for this, he opened up Zane's hatch and went over to his memory switch, and he turned it off so he wouldn't remember this, and with that.. Julien had finally passed on from the illness, and left Zane alone in this world...

Zane had a single tear come from his eye as he finally remembered everything from his life, and he felt a greater deal of understanding now knowing what's happened.
"Zane, are you alright? What happened?" Spike asked with worry for his friend.
"I.. remember everything.. I know what happened, who I am.. and why.. I was built.." Zane said as he finally knew what's happened.
"Really? What  was it?" Spike asked with surprise to hear this, Zane turned to him and patted his back while giving him a smile.
"I was built to protect those who can't protect themselves, I was made to be my own person, even when my father passed on, I always had my own choices to make, and now.. I know what I am, and I couldn't have discovered it, without a brother like you by my side." Zane said gratefully which made Spike smile hearing that from him.
"You were the first person I felt a connection with when I came to this world, and to know you've finally understood this, it makes me more happy for you, I'm glad to find this out with you Zane." Spike said proudly while they looked at the falcon with determination.
"I am too my friend, come on, let's catch up with the others!" Zane said as they finally were making they're leave to meet the others.

Spike and Zane quickly ran up the spiral to leave the place, but when they made it back out, they had a look of shock when they saw Kai and the others were being attacked by the Treehorns.
"Let's do this Zane!" Spike said seriously as he prepared his Ice powers.
"Leave our friends alone! Ninja go!!" Zane shouted as they used Spinjitzu once again to free the others from them, Spike shot multiple ice blasts at the Treehorns legs to stun them, Spike then jumped in the air and threw hid Trident at them to knock each one down, Zane leaped into the air and punched one of them in the face while the other's were finally getting up.
"What's gotten into Zane?" Cole asked curiously while Spike flipped next to them.
"He finally understands who he is.." Spike said proudly as they all came together to fight them off.
"Ninja go!!" They all shouted again while they used Spinjitzu to knock some off their feet, Cole slammed his Scythe down on the ground to  knock down a few more, and Spike shot multiple fire blasts at the Treehorns heads to help.

They kept on fighting each Treehorn down until they noticed they were moving around the place.
"Are they.. regrouping?" Jay asked confused until they heard a really loud roar just ahead of them.
"What is that?" Spike asked with shock as they saw a Treehorn even bigger then the others.
"They're queen." Zane said seriously as he went to stand against her while the others went back a bit.

"You will not hurt my friends! There is nothing that will hold me back! I know who I am!" Zane shouted as his powers were surging up, and his eyes began to glow brightly from rage. Zane's powers soared all around him and a pillar of light was formed from the overwhelming power, and Zane began floating in the air. 
"What's happening to him? Was he programmed to do that?" Kai asked shocked as his power surged even more.
"I've never seen a robot do that!" Jay said amazed to see what's happening.
"You mean, Nindroid." Cole corrected as the Queen roared at Zane with rage
"Guys, I think he's done it.." Spike said in complete amazement for what he's achieved.
"He's unlocked his true potential!" Cole said as they all finally realized what's happened. 

Zane threw his Shuriken's of ice around the area and he landed on the ground and used his Spinjitzu and spun around the Queen multiple times before going back up into the air, Zane's powers finally unleashed and he shot a powerful beam of ice which completely froze the Queen Treehorn solid which made all the others leave in fear of his huge power. Zane's body glowed brightly for a few more moments until he finally landed back on the ground and returned to normal.
"What happened?" Zane asked confused not recalling what he did.
"That was awesome!" Jay said completely amazed at this move of his.
"You discovered your True Potential, you did it!" Spike cheered as they all helped him up.
"I've never seen anything like it!" Cole said amazed with what he did too.

"This must mean what sensei said when he meant unlocking our hearts. I remember now, I remember everything, I remember my father, and how I came to be, and I feel stronger for knowing it." Zane explained while he took of his mask.
"I'm so jealous! His powers are so cool!" Cole said amazed at this news.
"And if this is what it takes, we'll all get cool powers to fight too!" Spike said eagerly while looking at his weapon.
"We have our very own Nindroid!" Jay said amazed while they all high fived eachother once again.
"Watch out Pythor, we're coming for you!" Zane said seriously while he put his mask back on.

However, back with Pythor and the Serpentine, they were not getting anywhere with finding the map, and had enough after waiting so long.
"Where are the four Fang Blades?" Fangtom asked impatiently at this long wait.
"What if there is no map?" Acidius hissed turning to him.
"I know I know! I just don't know where to look!" Pythor said in frustration which made them see this is a waste of time.
"Then I'm taking my staff back!" Fangtom hissed while taking his own back.
"Me too!" Acidius said grabbing his as well.
"Me three!" Skalidor said while he grabbed his and knocked his staff away, this made Acidius made and they started fighting eachother while Pythor saw the venom coming from the staffs.

"That's it!" Pythor said as he finally understood what to do.
"What's it?" Scales asked as he took the rest of the staffs.
"The Map of Fangs! It's been right in front of us all this time! The 5 fangs unite as one, the path towards the Devourer has begun! it's not speaking of the 5 tribes, it's the venom in the 5 staffs!" Pythor declared as he put the staffs together and put the map below it for the venom in them to all leak onto it, this made the venom all merge together into one which finally showed a map of where each of the Fang Blades were.
"Behold! The location to the four silver Fang Blades! Soon the Great Devourer will be unleashed, and Ninjago will be ours!" Pythor announced while holding it out which made the snakes cheer in victory to hear this.

But all the way where Wu was, he was on a mountain in the middle of the night, he looked at the Travelers Tea he got and knew what to do, he poured the stuff around the fire which made it suddenly turn blue, and that opened a strange vortex that led somewhere else. Wu took the stuff he had and had a serious look as he finally walked through the thing, and it vanished after he went through it, leaving nothing left where he once was.
The portal had taken Wu to a strange dark realm where he was meant to go, Wu landed down on the ground and adjusted his hat while he looked around the place.
"Hello.. brother..." A familiar voice said in a menacing way which made Wu look just ahead, and not too far in front of him.. he saw his corrupted brother who had traveled here some time ago.
"What took you so long?" Garmadon asked in a mocking tone before he made an evil laugh as Wu had to deal with him now, even with all this going on, Spike and the Ninja were one step closer to saving Ninjago, and this was they're first step to stopping him..
