The serpentine searched for the next Fangblade inside a pyramid. Pythor stopped moving and Skales bumped into him," Ugh, Why musssst we sssstop if the next Fangblade is just ahead of ussss?" Skales questioned. Pythor used his staff to crumble the floor in front of him, " What good is unlocking the Great Devourer with the four Fangblades if were not around to see it? Get the boy!" Pythor told Skales. " Bring the boy!" Skales commanded.

Two serpents brought Lloyd forwards and removed his chains. "Oh, you're letting me go?" Lloyd asked. "Heh, only to fetch, my dear boy. Do step lightly." Pythor lead Lloyd to the ledge of the broken floor. Lloyd stepped along the edge and have to jump over a small gap. He almost fell which made him scream. " Bring me the Fangblade, and I'll let you go." Pythor told him. Once Lloyd was across the gap. 

Lloyd walked forwards and started to run as the ground crumbled again. Then the spiked ceilings moved down and Lloyd got past that. Then a bunch of arrows fired at him and somehow he was unhurt. He leaned against a pole and saw where the fangblade was. The pole moved and the ceiling caved in. Lloyd ran and was swept with the rocks. He was fine though and got up. He walked up to the pedestal where the blade was. Except, it was gone. " Its gone!" Lloyd shouted. " It's gone!?" Pythor was angry. " Where isss it?" Skales questioned. " Do I still get to be freed?" Lloyd asked. " No!"

"They got the first one, but there are three more, and we just need one to stop Pythor. They have a map, and we don't, so the question remains: how are we gonna find them first?" Nya questioned as we all looked at a hologram of a Fangblade. "I still can't get over the fact that you were the mysterious Samurai. Is anyone else blown away like I am?" Jay added out of nowhere. Nya smiled at him. " Were over that. can we move on?" Kai was unamused. "Someone's a little hot under the collar." Jay mocked, making a weird noise before his sentence.

" It appears his impatience is because he has not found inner peace and unlocked his full potential like you and I have, Jay." Zane, you're teasing Kai now. "Great observation, Mr. Roboto, but Cole nor (Y/n) hasn't found it either." " I've got it!" Cole realized where he had sent the Fangblade. " You've unlocked it? Oh, why am I the only one!?" Kai stressed. Uh, Kai, I wouldn't have unlocked it either. "No, I figured out where I recognized the Fangblade from. I have a picture of it." Cole went to grab a picture.

"Oh, haha, is that it? Heh. Good." I rolled my eyes at Kai. " I got it!" Cole came back and showed us a picture of a trophy from his photo album. Hey wait, that's the Blade cup! My brother had dreamed about competing to win that! Except, his stage fright prevented him from doing that. "That's it!" Jay said, looking at the photo. "Back where I grew up, there's this pretty big competition where every year the winner gets the Blade Cup. My dad's won it multiple times." Cole explained.

" You never told us your dad was an accomplished athlete. What sport?" Zane asked. "Oh, h-he's a, uh...a blacksmith." Cole seemed embarrassed. "Nothing wrong with that. My father was a blacksmith, too. But I've never heard of a competition—" Kai was cut off. "That's because he's not a 'blacksmith' blacksmith. He's a....Royal Blacksmith." Cole turned the page to a picture of his dad. I smiled. I remember watching his father perform and win before.

"That's your dad?" Jay snickered. " Guys, you're being rude." "But how did the Fangblade become a trophy?" Kai asked. "Well, supposedly, the Blade Cup was made by this guy who collected priceless artifacts. His name was something like, uh, Dutch...no, Clutch. Clutch Powers! Anyway, it gets passed on to each year's winner." Cole told us. " Well, who is in possession of it now?" I asked. " I don't know. I haven't talked to my father in years." Cole told us. "Well then, we'll call him up." Kai said like it was that simple.
