The ninja return to the city which seems empty. "What happened?" Kai asks.

"No power, that's what happened." Cole says.

"Are we too late?" Zane asks. They step on a tripwire, alerting some civilians that appear on top of pile of some junk.

"Outsiders must answer to the Postman!" A man says.

"Return… to… sender!" Postman says.

Cyrus areives. "Ah, you finally made it. Don't mind the savages. Since power went out, everyone here has grown a bit bored. Their imagination knows no bounds." He says and sees P.I.X.A.L. "P.I.X.A.L., amazing! You're...powered."

"You need to stay in character, Borg. This is no fun if we're not all committed." Postman says.

"Oh, I'll have you committed if you don't all leave us at once. Now shoo!" Cyrus says and they leave. "We have real problems to address. P.I.X.A.L., what's powering you?" He asks.

"Zane gave me half of his heart." P.I.X.A.L. says.

"Thank you, Zane. I am greatly indebted. Unfortunately, the hard drive was stolen with the digital imprint of the Overlord. You'll be unable to erase him with your Techno Blades until we find it." Cyrus says.

"Aw, don't worry, we already had a little run in with the red-handed suspect. Or, should I say white-handed? He left behind a white scale. Get this, he's Serpentine." Jay says.

"Unh." Cole takes off the covers for a manhole. "Lucky for us, the last Serpentine were sealed within a tomb right under the city, so it's about time we pay them a little visit."

"Approach with caution. I've also lost a few valuable prototypes. He may be armed and extremely dangerous." Cyrus says.

"We know, and uh, ahem, just for the record, when those prototypes are made available to the public, could you let me know? They're just the coolest gadgets." Jay says while Kai sighs annoyed going in already.

"P.I.X.A.L. Now that my assistant has an unlimited power supply, there's an infinite amount of good to be done." Cyrus says ignoring Jay.

P"As you wish, Mr. Borg." P.I.X.A.L. says. Others go in after Kai as P.I.X.A.L. and Cyrus leave.

"Watch your step, Nya. We don't know the last time this ladder was used." Cole saus.

"That's thoughtful of you, Cole." Nya says.

"Hey! How about you watch where you're watching, Cole? Huh? HUH!?" Jay says glaring at Cole.

"The rung Nya stepped on broke and she holds on another with her hands. "Ah! Uh, guys. A little help?"

"Oh, is that a threat? 'Cause coming from you, it sounds like some of your best material." Cole says.

"Hahaha! There's a reason nobody liked you." Jay says.

"Aah!" Nya falls getting her clothes wet and sighs annoyed. "My knights in shining armor." She mutters.

"It was his fault!" Jay and and Cooe exclaim at the same time pointing at each other.

"Let's keep our eyes peeled. Our mystery suspect could be anywhere down here." Zane says.

"Serpentine. Never thought I'd see them again." Kai says.

In the Borg Industries Bowels, the Stranger is planning on ways to find power for the Nindroids. "We know where the Golden Ninja is, so why are we doing nothing about it? I must escape this wretched digital prison!" Overlord says.

"Patience. The Golden Ninja won't go down without a fight, and we've already depleted our Electro-Cobrai. Before we take his Golden Power, we need more power of our own." The stranger says.
