Kai slowly walked along, the snow becoming less and less as they walked on. Kai couldn't shake the feeling that they were being watched away. He felt open, like someone, or something, was waiting for the right moment to strike. Skylor seemed to notice this. "Something bothering you Kai?" She asked, her left hand placed gently upon his right shoulder.

Kai shook his head. "I feel like, no, something's following." He replied. His amber eyes sweeping the area. Skylor turned her head slightly, green eyes scanning the snow for anything out of place. "I don't notice anything out of the ordinary." She said. Her eyes quickly meeting Kai's. "I can feel it Sky, there's something out there. Watching, waiting for the right moment to strike." Kai said, his voice tense. "What is it you feel?" Skylor asked.

Kai blinked before he closed his eyes. "Warmth, like a burning fire. Heat generated by a volcano. Stone, like volcanic rock. Energy, hot energy. Boiling touch, burning metal. Enough to melt entire ice glaciers." Kai opened his eyes fast. "Moltus. I can feel a Moltus nearby." Skylor blinked before an unnatural heat swept over them. "He's close." She said.

From the sky, the Molten Dragon flew. Upon it's back, stood a Moltus. His shoulder armour held seven spikes per shoulder pad. His helmet held a small T shape cut out. The shape of the mask of unique. The top was shaped with two curves. Three points upon the top, two at the side wile one was located in the centre. Two green eyes watched with determination. His armour was gun metal silver. Upon his back, was a jagged sword.

With a kick, he sent the Molten Dragon soring down towards the two. A mighty roar was unleashed from the beast before it landed upon the ground. "Warlord Vendence. Did you really think you could escape us forever?" The figure asked. Kai narrowed his eyes. Skylor glanced at Kai, confusion clear across her face. "Vendence?" Kai's eyes showed a flicker of yellow. "No, I didn't." The figure chuckled. "Of course you couldn't. We'd have found you eventually." Kai rolled his fists. "Let me guess, Lord Moltron sent you to kill me." The figure laughed before he drew his sword. "Good guess. It would be so funny if it weren't so true. You will die Vendence."

Kai grabbed his twin katana and stood ready to fight. "Beware me, I'm more powerful then I was the last time I faced Lord Moltron." The figure chuckled as he leapt down. "Really. Let's see then." He said as he charged forward. Kai stepped to the side before swinging one of his katana downwards. The figure smirked and blocked the katana. His eyes narrowed as he quickly kicked Kai back. "You don't seem to have grown in power Vendence." Kai shook his head and leapt into the air. Spinning around three times, he became a tornado of fire.

The figure backed up slightly before he spoke. "So you have learned something new. Tell me, how would The Child react to this. One of those who sought him out, using the martial art he created for his own personal gain?" Kai quickly came to a stop before he smirked. "It doesn't matter, because you're outmatched." The figure laughed before he leapt over Kai and onto the Molten Dragon. "You will see me again Vendence. And when I return, you will regret ever facing us in combat. You can't win this fight alone."

Kai watched as the figure flew away. Turning around, he saw Skylor watching him with interest. "What haven't you been telling me, and who was that and what Dragon was that?"

Garmadon slowly walked alongside Lloyd and Wu. Travelling down the cavern systems of the Serpentine's new home beneath New Ninjago City. "So, if the Moltus are planning a full scale invasion, we're headed to see the Serpentine for help. What if they refuse?" Lloyd asked. Wu and Garmadon glanced at each other. "They would do well to know that the Moltus will hunt them down if they do not join us." Garmadon said. His eyes remained narrowed as they came to the entrance.

Entering, Skales quickly slithered up to them. "What issss it now?" He asked. His eyes quickly sweeping over the three. "We have comes seeking you aid." Wu said. Skales raised one of his eyes. "Help?" He asked. "We have reason to believe that there's an invasion force coming." Lloyd said. Skales blinked. "We wouldn't help. Even if we wanted to." He replied.

Garmadon quickly stepped forward. "I have seen the invasion force with my own eyes serpent. They outnumber the Ninja and Elemental Masters. If you wish to remain free and alive, then you would do well to join us in fighting back. Because the Moltus won't show mercy towards anyone. Not even me." Skales blinked before he sighed. "Perhapsssss another time. We have lived peacefully for the passsst few yearssss. I'm not about to let ssssome talesssss sssscare ussss into action again." Wu closed his eyes. "The Moltus are not tales. Because I've faced them before. And they won't rest till they have what they want. And they will target you. Regardless of what you want."

Skales blinked and then, he sighed. "Very well. When you need ussss. We will be waiting." Lloyd and Wu bowed before leaving with Garmadon.
