Kai glanced around as he felt something. The warmth of a Moltus. Widening his eyes, he could feel them from all directions. "Skylor, we've got a fight on our hands." Skylor nodded and readied herself to fight. The sound of warriors could be heard. Kai narrowed his eyes as he quickly held ready, fire forming in his hands. "Here they come." From the trees, several Moltus warriors emerged. Their weapons at the ready for the fight.

Kai slowly stepped back before charging forward, punching the first warrior back, he quickly kicked another. He wasn't ready to fight them again, but he had no choice. Quickly sending another fly, he eyed around as a new warrior emerged. "Commander Moltar." Kai said bitterly as he eyed Lord Moltron's second in command. "Warlord Vendence, we meet in battle again." Kai cracked his neck and knuckles before charging forward.

Moltar brought his large axe down, quickly smashing into the ground before Kai. Molten magma flowing out and bursting from the ground. Moltar's eyes traced Kai as he moved fast, with a grin, he punched Kai back. Pulling his axe from the ground, he narrowed his eyes and charged forward. Kai backed up before slamming his fist into the ground, causing a shockwave to knock Moltar back.

With a smile, Moltar quickly slammed his foot into the ground, causing a shockwave to off balance Kai. Charging forward, Moltar quickly kicked Kai back before slamming the blunt side of his axe against his head, knocking him to the side. Kai groaned as he got up. Moltar stood before him and chuckled. "Has your time in hiding weaken you Warlord Vendence? If so, then it's a pity that my lord has other plans for you." He quickly kicked Kai in the head, knocking him out.

Skylor widen her eyes and, without knowing how, unleashed a wave of red energy, knocking many of the Moltus over. She widen her eyes in shock. "What the..." She trailed of as she noticed that both Moltar and Kai were gone. The sound of a Molten Dragon in the wind caught her ear. "I will find you Kai. I promised that I wouldn't let anyone harm you. And now, now I'm going to make do on that promise."

Lloyd slowly came to a stop before Wu. His eyes sweeping over the mountain peek. "Why did you wish to speak with me up here uncle?" Lloyd questioned. Wu slowly lifted his head from his tea. "Kai." He said. Lloyd blinked before turning to face Wu. "What?" Wu motioned for Lloyd to sit to which he did. "Family is important for us Lloyd. Garmadon, me, you, Misako, we are not the only members of our family within Ninjago." Wu began. Lloyd blinked.

"What do you mean uncle?" Wu picked up the Oni mask of Vengeance from beside him. Lloyd blinked and wondered how he'd missed it on his arrival. "This mask, is the mask of my grandfather. It was brought to Ninjago with the other Oni masks when My uncle came with Mistake." Wu explained. Lloyd raised an eyebrow in interest. "What do you mean, your uncle, I thought grandfather was a single child." Wu shook his head. "No, he was the twin to the one who came here, and one of the two eldest of three." Lloyd blinked before he sighed. "Who's the uncle you speak of?" Wu sighed. "He is known as Warlord Vendence. But, we know him by a different name."

"Kai." Lloyd finished for Wu. "But why?" Wu sighed. "I... do not know. Only Kai can answer that."
