SURPRISINGLY, IRIS'S LAST VISIT TO NINJAGO CITY DIDN'T TAKE HER TO THIS PART OF TOWN. So her and the ninja pretty much had to trust that the tunnel they were in would take them to the right location. Oh how she hoped to the First Spinjitzu Master that they were going in the right direction. At least they were train lines and weren't sewer lines. That wouldn't have ended well for them. 

But as they continued their trek through the tunnels, they soon heard the familiar sound of hissing. They were definitely in the right place. 

The yellow ninja stayed close to the others as they crept closer to the Serpentine gathering because despite the bright colours they were wearing, they didn't want to be seen. All five tribes were there, united under one roof. Not good. And to add to it all, Pythor was the one standing up in front of the crowd, speaking to them. 

"I welcome you." He addressed his scaly audience and Iris gulped nervously. Bringing the tribes together like this, it just brought them one step closer to the Great Devourer being reawakened. And that COULDN'T happen. It would be catastrophic. 

As the ninja stared at the crowd beneath them, Cole pointed out. "That's a lot of snakes." 

Jay glanced at his teammates for help. "What are we gonna do?" He asked. 

Suddenly, the fire ninja perked up as an thought had just struck him. "I have an idea. Follow my lead." Now this was going to be interesting. 

Pythor was making Serpentine jokes as Kai explained his plan to them and Iris had to admit, she was impressed. Not just impressed though, she was proud. A lightness filled her heart as she listened to her student use the lesson she had just taught him to create a plan to disrupt the snakes. When Iris had left the monastery she never imagined herself returning, let alone becoming a mentor to new ninja. Yet somehow, it felt natural to her like it was what she was meant to do.
