Lloyd and Aria travel through the snow with the Fangpyre in order to attack the Hypnobrai. Lloyd wrapped his arms around Aria when he noticed she was shivering.

"Why are you touching me without permission?" Aria questions looking annoyed.

"You seemed cold, excuse me for trying to help princess." Lloyd replies as he holds his arms up

"No I'll allow it," Aria says

Lloyd sighed before wrapping his arms back around her. They soon approached the Hypnobrai, both sides prepared for a fight.

"Attack!" Fangtom  soon sees Skales is the leader "Wait! Skales, my old chum! I didn't think I'd be fighting you. Hmm, moved up in the world, have we?"

"What?!" Lloyd and Aria shout

"If it isn't the Fangpyre." Skales chuckles "Of all the cold-blooded to creep up on us, I'm glad it is a friend."

"Wait, I thought you were enemies, not friends." Lloyd says confused

"We were at war." Fangtom says "But seeing that Skales is now leading them, well, I don't see why we can't be comrades."

"Have you released the Constrictai, the Venomari, or heaven forbid the Anacondrai, then we would've had a tussle." Skale rolls his eyes

"A tussle? A tussle!? But I'm Lloyd Garmadon! Bringer of evil!" Lloyd throws a fit

"We need to go," Aria tugs on his arm "Lloyd!"

"Hehe." Scales turns to Fangtom "What should we do with him?"

"I could him into one of us." Fangtom suggests

"Hmm, no, the little tyke is pretty useless." Scales shakes his head

Lloyd grows as he jumps down from the mech he was on, with Aria folowing.

"What about the girl?" Fangtom questions

"Eh, it won't work." Scales replies "She's already a reptile."

"What if you hypnotize  him and make him think he's a pig?" Fangtom suggests

"That'd be pretty funny" Scales replies as they both laugh.

Aria and Lloyd quickly run away with Aria leading them this time. They eventually make it safely into the next zone when they stop to catch their breathe.

"That's it Lloyd, two strikes and we're out." Aria tells him "No more snakes."

"Hey, you thought it was a good idea!" Lloyd argues "We can try again!"

"No," Aria shakes her head "I'm calling it quits on this plan. A good villain knows when to retreat."

"Then you're a coward," Lloyd snatches the map from her "I'll go on my own."

"Lloyd!" Aria shouts trying to grab the map back

Lloyd held it out of her reach "No, not this time. I won't listen."

"Have it your way then," Aria dropped her hand to her side "lets see how far you get without me."

"Fine," Lloyd stuck his tongue out at her

"Fine," Aria turned her back to him and began walking away.

Lloyd stared at her before angrily stomping away, in the direction of the next tomb. Aria sighed, turning back to see him already gone.

"One day you'll learn Lloyd," Aria mutters "never trust a snake."

Sorry about the short chapter, work during the holidays are the worst.
