The team return to the city.

"What happened?" "No power, that's what happened." "Creepy, I can't be the only one who gets that creepy vibe from here. Right?" "No Shade, I got it too." "Good to know Jay." "Are we too late?"

They step on a tripwire, alerting the civilians.

"Outsiders must answer to the Postman!" "Return… to… sender!"

Shade recognized two civilians.

"Sam! Matthew!"

The two looked at him. Matthew smiled and Sam smirked.

"Hey buddy!" "Hey, Shades. Been awhile hasn't it?" "Sure has guys."

Shade and the two began conversing while Cyrus Borg came up to the ninja and (Name).

"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 then sees P.I.X.A.L.

"P.I.X.A.L., amazing! You're...powered." "You need to stay in character, Borg. You too Sam and Matthew. This is no fun if we're not all committed." "Not only that, but Shade and I will shoot you."

Sam moved his makeshift armor, showing everyone his custom pistol.

"According to my mom Sam, warriors don't use guns."

Every one of them leaves.

"Officer S. Anderson and Officer M. Anderson, I need you both to leave." "Oh, sure thing Cyrus! Come on Sam."

Matthew drags his T.O. away, Sam was throwing a fit about being dragged away.

"We have real problems to address. P.I.X.A.L., what's powering you?" "Zane gave me half of his heart." "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." "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." "(Name), do you know what Serpentine could be behind this?" "Possibly an Anacondrai, if certain conditions are met... their scales turn white and their markings turn light purple."

(Name) spoke as she placed a hand on her chin in thought.

"Uhh..."

Cole takes off the covers for a manhole. (Name) looked down the hole and jumped down.

"It's go boys and Nya." "Actually mom, could I go and see how Lloyd and Melissa are doing?" "Yes Shade."

Shade nods a rushes off.

"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."

Cole said as he joined her down there.

"Approach with caution. I've also lost a few valuable prototypes. He may be armed and extremely dangerous." "Haha, tell us something we don't know." "When this is over, I expect you to keep your promise (Name)." "Of course Kai."

Cole, Zane and Jay looked at the two confused.

"I'll explain later."

Cole nods.

"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."

Zane allowed P.I.X.A.L. to enter the manhole before him.

"Uh, P.I.X.A.L., where are you going? Now that my assistant has an unlimited power supply, there's an infinite amount of good to be done."
