"We're here. Welcome to Chen's Island" As soon as those words left Clouse's mouth everybody on the boat came to the front. Everyone gasped with amazement.

"Let me see" The man with metal gloves pushed Kai, making the teen glare at him.

"Do you mind?" The red ninja and the man stared at each other.

Some thugs, one of which Cole recognized from Chen's Noodle House, lowered a plank and everybody followed Clouse off the boat. The thugs took a few steps back as you were passing them, thanks to Kiko growling at them threateningly. "Welcome to Chen's Island. The Tournament of Elements welcomes its brave fighters"

"How is it we're on an island I've never seen on any map?" Kai whispered to you and they rest, after a second he looked directly at Raven.

"And care to explain how the face to Ninjago's most popular noodle house is secretly assembling an underground fighting tournament?" Cole added but Auntie seen unamused, she just flew off your shoulder.

The boys stopped with confusion written all over their faces, you sighed, "She already told you she's only going to talk when we're alone"

There was a moment of awkward silence before Kai noticed Skylor walking past you. She waved at you, both you and Kai waved back. Cole raised a brow, "You know her?"

"We talked for a while"

"Huh. Anyway, this is a big island. Zane could be anywhere. Keep an eye out"

You continued onward, it didn't take long for you to cross the palace's door. The inside was just as fancy as the outside, so fancy you were walking on a red carpet. Jay was looking around like a small interested child, to be fair, the dragonling was doing the same thing. "So this is the house that noodles built. Ha! Always wanted to go to a red carpet event"

You were lead to a big open room and you sat in a circle, or something close to being one. You were left like that for a few minutes before two thugs walked onto something looking like a stage in front of you all, one of them banged the gong while the other played the gramophone. Clouse walked onto the stage and stopped just right next to a weirdly looking chair in the middle. "All rise for Master Chen" You did as you were told.

From the back of the stage come a man with some kind of crystal staff, what caught your attention though was his weird hat, er, crown? It looked like it was made from Anacondrai skin. He had a big, a little crazy, smile on his face as he walked to the front and stood in front of the chair. "Welcome to the Tournament of Elements. Now everyone can all die" Chen's smile turned into a grin as the door slammed close behind all of you. You jumped closer to Cole and he grabbed your hand while Kiko got up and growled. "—rect your attention to me!" Chen laughed, a bit crazy, the thugs and Clouse started clapping. Everybody in the room slowly followed before sitting down, except Kiko who only made an offended noise. The man sighed, "Never before have so many Elemental Fighters been under one roof. I see Master of Fire, Earth, Shadow, even the prophesied Green Savior" The last one was directed towards you, you felt the need to hide once you heard the surprise in his voice. You were not invited, he knows you have no powers and that scared the shit out of you. Chen wasn't really bothered though, or at least he didn't show it as he continued as normal and pointed at the gong with his staff. "This symbol before you is the Anacondrai, fiercest Serpentine warrior to ever roam this land. Its creed 'Only one can remain'"
