Kai and Jay entered the Toxic Bogs and Jay ew-ed at the smell. " Hey, it's not me. We're in the Toxic Bogs. This stuff will eat through you worse than Cole's chili" Kai put a stick in the bog and it disinagrated it. They walked over and open the Venomari Tomb but it was empty. " Pee-yew" Jay's voice echoed in the tomb. Jay laughed. Kai sighed, "Let's just make this quick before Pythor gets here. Huh?" Kai walked away as Jay played with his echo in the tomb.

Kai heared a frog croak and grabbed his sword. "You shouldn't sneak up on people like that. Heh, if I wasn't such a well-trained Nin-" The frog jumped onto a Venomari who emerged from the bog. The Venomari spreayed Kai with their venom and made him hallucinate. Kai called out for Jay as the blue boy continued to play with his echo. More Venomari and even some constricti ambush Kai. "Oh, this is not good. Jay! Jay!" Jay finally heard Kai. " There's so many. Elves and gingerbread people everywhere" Kai freaked out. "Okay, I don't know what you're seeing, but this is no time to lose yourself. I need you, partner" Jay took out his nunchucks. " I've never fought little people before! We're toast!" Kai panicked.

Thankfully, the three of us arrived. " Anyone ordered a little kick butt?" Cole's voice echoed in the tomb. Jay laughed but then got scared by Pythor appearing. Zane tried to play the flute but Pythor stole it. "Oh, let's not let music ruin things, hmm?" Pythor smirked. " Music is nice you loser," I pointed at the long necked snake who glared at me. I shrunk down and was pulled onto a log by Cole.

"I've got a sinking feeling this may be the last I see of you five," Pythor laughed. I stared at the bogs that melted the log. "That's it. I used to hate Dragons, but now I officially hate snakes." Cole pouted. " Wait, do you see that? A magic floating rope. We can climb to safety." Jay had to pull Kai back before he fell into the bog. " Boy, that Venomari Venom is some powerful stuff." Jay commented. The serpents laugh at us and I tear up.

" For whatever it is worth, it was an honor to fight beside you all" Zane told all of us. " Me too." Cole added. " Yeah, ditto." Jay agreed. I nodded as a tear was about to slid down my cheek. Death is really welcoming huh. But death wasn't today as an actual rope dangled in fornt of us. We were confused but quickly climbed up. A metal samurai appeared and tried to bag the serpents.

The samurai shot a dart at Pythor, who was trying to escape. The purple serpent yelped as he slithered away. We got off the log and Cole asked who they were. " How about the coolest thing I've ever seen!" Jay was excited. " Santa?" Kai was wacked out of his mind. "Thank you, mysterious warrior. I owe you my life for saving-" Zane was cut off by the samurai putting him unconscious with some sort of spray. Jay said it wasn't very nice but then the rest of us were knocked out.

" So then, just when we were gonna bite it, this huge mechanical robot—" "Samurai. It was Samurai" Zane corrected Jay as we all sat at the dinner table, explain what happened. I picked at my food as Lloyd was confused on that word. "Samurai. Highest level of warrior class. They would protect nobility and serve with honor on the battlefield" Wu explained.

" He was a hundred feet high, with weapons coming out every part of him." Kai said before whispering it Cole, "Look at Sensei's beard. It's moving like snakes." "When is this Venomari spit supposed to wear off? It's starting to get annoying." Nya cringed as Kai stuck good onto his face. We all stared at him. " Okay, don't let this mysterious Samurai cloud what's really important." Cole started.

"All the Serpentine are out, and if Pythor can unite them, the legend states some Great Devourer is gonna consume the land and—" " Great Devour-er?" Nya was confused on the name. "Whatever it is, it's a can of worms I don't wanna see open" Cole mentioned. " Unh, it's all my fault. If I hadn't opened the first hatch, none of this would've happened" Lloyd felt really bad. "We cannot change the past, but we can affect the future. At least we have the Sacred Flute in our possession, so—"
