Darkness offspring

Iron and stone

The Dragon Hunters and Iron Baron have Jay, Kai, and Zane as their prisoners. The ninja are pushed to the ground.

Kai: His throne. I already hate him.

Iron Baron: They don't look as I imagined. (The Hunters laugh.) Where did you find them?

Heavy Metal: To the south. They were building a fortification.

Jay: That's pretty generous. Heh. More like a rickety shack. But after losing everything, who am I to complain?

Heavy Metal: Did I say you could speak?

Daddy No Legs: We took them by surprise. There may be more.

Iron Baron: Is this true? Are there more of your kind?

Kai: Our kind?

Zane: No. We're alone.

Jet Jack: Then tell us, who do these diapers belong to?

Kai: Oh, those are Jay's. Tell 'em, Jay.

Jay: Oh. I have a weak bladder. (The Hunters laugh.)

Iron Baron: See how they lie? See their treachery? They cannot help it. It's in their nature.

Zane: (Whispering) Do not reveal anything.

Iron Baron: But there is one whom you cannot deceive.

Kai: Okay, now, take it easy there, Captain. Let's not do anything—

Iron Baron: Throw the Oni into the Pit!

Hunters: Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows! Slab knows!

Kai: Oni? You're making a mistake!

Zane: We are not Oni!

Jay: Okie dokie. Off we go. (Daddy No Legs lead the ninja into Dead's End.)

Kai: They think we're Oni.

Jay: I know, how funny. And here we thought they were Oni. (They see a Fire Dragon forced to provide Fire to blacksmiths.)

Zane: Their entire culture appears to be built around the hunting of dragons and exploiting their Elemental Powers.

Kai: Then it's a good thing we kept our identities secret.

Arkade: Ah! Welcome to the Dead's End! May I have your parts when you expire?

Kai: At least we know what to call this dump. But what do you make of this "Slab?" And what's "the Pit?"

Jay: Duh. It's most likely an arena. A brutal tradition but exciting nonetheless. I for one can't wait!

Dragon Hunter #1: Hey! Hey! Hey! What do you think—

Kai: This isn't good, Jay. It's bad. And it's only gonna get worse.

Jay: Aw, lighten up. We're in an exotic realm, discovering new cultures, meeting interesting people.

Kai: People who wanna kill us, Jay!

Zane: Oh, boy. I believe Jay's mental state has made him useless to our plight. (They come across the Destiny's Bounty.)

Kai: Hey! That's ours!

Zane: Let's just hope Cole and Acid can rescue us from out of this mess.

Cole: (He, Acid, and Wu spy on the Hunters.) They're headed towards that arena. But I don't think they're going to see a show.

Wu: Then we have to go in there and break them out. Come on! (He jumps down but Cole catches him.)

Cole: Are you crazy? (He pulls him back up.) This place is crawling with Hunters and getting caught isn't on my to-do-list. We're gonna have to wait it out.
