(The chapter starts out at the pyramid, where the Serpentine are looking for the Constrictai Fangblade. Pythor suddenly stop slithering, which causes Skales to bump into him.)
Skales: Ugh. Why musssst we sssstop if the next Fangblade is just ahead of ussss?
Pythor: (Uses his staff to crumble the floor beneath them) What good is unlocking the Great Devourer with the four Fangblades, if we're not around to see it? Get the boy!
Skales: Bring the boy!
(Two Serpentine free Lloyd from his chain.)
Lloyd: Oh, you're letting me go?
Pythor: Heh, only to fetch, my dear boy. Do step lightly. (Pythor leads him to the ledge.)
(Lloyd almost falls, making him scream.)
Pythor: Bring me the Fangblade, and I'll let you go.
Lloyd: Oh. (Grunts) Woah! (He miraculously avoids all the traps. He looks at the pedestal, but it's empty.) It's gone!
Pythor: It's gone!?
Skales: Where issss it?
Lloyd: Do I still get to be freed?
Pythor: No!
Lloyd: Ugh! So unfair. When are Elenora and the others gonna save me?
(At the Destiny's Bounty, the Ninja are trying to figure out how to stop Pythor from unleashing the Devourer while examining a Fangblade hologram.)
Nya: 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?
Jay: I still can't get over the fact that you were the mysterious Samurai. Is anyone else blown away like I am?
Kai: We're over that. Can we move on?
Jay: (Speaks Gibberish) Someone's a little hot under the collar.
Zane: It appears his impatience is because he has not found inner peace and unlocked his True Potential like you and I have, Jay.
Kai: Great observation, Mr. Roboto, but Cole and Elenora haven't found it either.
Cole: I got it!
Kai: You've unlocked it? Oh, why am I the only one!?
Cole: No, I figured out where I recognized the Fangblade from. I have a picture of it.
Elenora: (Has her arms crossed) So that was the reason why it was familiar.
Cole: Yea! (He goes to get the picture.)
Kai: (Nya and Jay look at him) Oh, haha, is that it? Heh. Good.
Cole: I got it! (He shows them the Blade Cup from his photo album.)
Jay: That's it!
Cole: 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.
Zane: You never told us your dad was an accomplished athlete. What sport?
Cole: Oh, h-he's a, uh...a blacksmith.
Kai: Nothing wrong with that. My father was a blacksmith, too. But I've never heard of a competition—
Cole: That's because he's not a "blacksmith" blacksmith. He's a... Royal Blacksmith. (He turns a page of his album to show them a picture of his dad. Everyone snickers except Elenora and Nya.)
