—ME: "NYA, YOU'RE THE SAMURAI."

—Nya: "Eek—! [Y-Y/n]... how did you find out...?"

—Me: "I sensed the pride in your eyes every time the samurai was mentioned."

—Nya: "Sigh... you're very perceptive. Yes... I am. Please don't tell anyone."

—Me: "I shall keep my mouth sealed."

Nya smiles, hugs me and thanks me.

—Cole: Trying to find out the Samurai's identity is more of a nuisance than the snakes. Any luck with you?

—Jay: "The guy's elusive. He's like a ghost. One moment he's there, the next he's gone."

—Zane: "I am starting to believe we might never catch him."

—Kai: "I think it's safe to say, none of us are closer to proving we're the Green Ninja."

Sensei Wu entered the room.

—Wu: "Looks like iron is sharpening iron. I feel you are getting closer to your True Potential."

He gives Cole's arm a comforting squeeze.

—Cole: "Ow!"

—Me: "Where is Lloyd?"

I frown while I look around.

—Wu: "Yeah. Where is my nephew? I thought you were looking after him."

—Kai: "I thought Cole was gonna pick him up."

—Cole: "I went to the arcade, but he wasn't there. Jay was—"

—Jay: "Don't bring me into this. I babysat yesterday."

—Zane: "Sensei, we have not seen him."

—Me: "What?"

I ask in a menacing tone.

The boys freeze and look at me nervously. My gaze was anything but friendly. A vein was popping from my forehead.

—Me: "How imprudent can you get?"

They gulp. Sensei puts a hand on my shoulder to calm my anger.

—Wu: "We must find the boys."

[...]

Arriving to the arcade, there were no signs of Lloyd.

I huff in frustration.

Cole checked the security cameras to see Lloyd leaving in a snake disguise while Zane found a few footprints that later on disappeared.

—Kai: "Something tells me we're going for a ride. Come on, boys."

—Jay: "Where is [Y/n]?"

—Zane: "She dashed out in immense speed already."

[...]

[Location: City of Ouroboros]

—Jay: "[Y/n]! There you are—Woah what is this place..."

—Jay: "Looks like snake city."

—Kai: "Let's get a closer look."

—Zane: "It appears Pythor has successfully united all of the tribes."
