Pythor Slithered through the Anacondrai Tomb, searching the walls. The four other Serpentine Generals Slithered up to him.
"Mind telling us why we are all back at your old Tomb, instead of out looking for the final Fangblade?" Skalidor asked him.
"Yeah. I thought you hated this place." Accidicus added.
"Oh I do. Very much so. But there was something about that (Y/n) that seemed familiar." Pythor said, searching through some old stone tablets.
"Honestly Pythor. If you keep this up, we're going to start thinking you've lost your mind after being buried in the sand for so long." Skales said, turning away from Pythor. The Anacondrai only rolled his eyes as he continued to search the stone tablets. "Her Eyes. I know I've seen those eyes somewhere before... but where?" Pythor muttered. Suddenly, a piece of a wall fell out and caught Pythor's eye. Curious, Pythor approached the tablet and picked it up. He looked it over, before letting out a mincing laugh. "Gentlemen, I believe that we have a misguided ally who will be joining us momentarily." Pythor said, letting out another dark chuckle.
------------------------------------------------------
(Y/n)'s eyes shot open as she sat up suddenly from her bed, gasping for air. Once she had realized she had only just witnessed a dream, she sighed, and allowed her body to relax. She glanced around the room at her comrades, who continued to sleep peacefully, before looking at her lap with a sad stare. She moved her hair away from her left eye, revealing it's red glowing hue. She had accidently let Pythor see it back when Cole unlocked his true potential, and now she had been having weird dreams.
Sighing once again, she hid her red eye, and got out of bed. She made sure not to disturb her friends, as she snuck out of the room. She went to the bridge of the Bounty, and watched the clouds move past the ship. A peaceful smile painted its way onto her lips, but her eyes held the same sad look.
"(Y/n)? You okay?" A voice said, startling the yellow ninja, making her turn around in a defensive pose. However, it turned out to be only Lloyd. "Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you." The young boy said, walking over to stand next to (Y/n).
"Its okay. I guess that's just what happens when your guard is almost always up." (Y/n) replied, turning to lean on the railing of the Bounty again. "Is something on your mind?" Lloyd asked, making (Y/n) sigh and look down. "Yeah. It's just... I don't think I'll ever unlock my true potential." She said. "Why's that?" Lloyd asked, turning his attention to the girl. "Well, I've been training with Sensei for 12 years. That's way longer than the other ninja, and yet, I'm the only one who hasn't unlocked my true potential." (Y/n) said. "I'm also 18, and I don't know a thing about who I am, or where I come from. The only thing I have are my eyes." She continued, showing Lloyd her different color eyes. "I just wish I could have some idea about my past." She said, tears threatening to fall.
"Well... can't my uncle tell you anything?" Lloyd asked as (Y/n) whipped away the tears in her eyes. "I've already asked him and he said he didn't know anything. He would never lie to me, so I trust him." She replied. "Well, if there is one thing I've learned about you, it's that you are smart and determined. You'll find out who you are soon enough." Lloyd said, putting a comforting hand on (Y/n)'s arm, before walking back to his room. (Y/n) watched him disappear into the Bounty, her small smile returning. She looked out to the sky to see that a single star had begun to shine through the clouds. The sight of the star made (Y/n) relax, and she decided to head back to her room.
However, before she could, a hand grabbed her shoulder and forced her to turn around. Her eyes widened and she let out a gasp. The boys, who were all still sleeping peacefully, were awoken by a screaming sound coming from the bridge.
"What happened?!"
"Who screamed?!"
"What?! What's going on?!"
As Kai, Jay, and Cole tried to register what was going on, Zane looked around the room, only to notice that (Y/n) had disappeared. Suddenly, everything clicked. "That scream came from (Y/n)! Let us hurry! She may be in terrible trouble!" Zane said, as he and the others ran to the bridge. When they arrived, they saw that (Y/n) was struggling against the hold of the four Serpentine generals, who were attempting to kidnap her. "(Y/n)!" They yelled, causing both the Serpentine generals and (Y/n) to turn their attention to them.
"Cole! Guys, help me!" The girl yelled, as she continued to struggle against the hold of her captors. The boys nodded and began to head towards the Serpentine generals, only to be held back by a grouped of Constrictai soldiers.
"No! Let us go!" Cole yelled, struggling against their hold, to no avail.
"Agh, we're getting nowhere with this." Skales said, letting go of (Y/n), before hitting her in the back of the head with his staff, knocking her unconscious.
"NO!"
"(Y/N)!"
"What the heck man?!"
"Let her go!"
Suddenly, Pythor appeared out of no where, letting out a menacing chuckle. "Oh, so sorry dear boys, but we require (Y/n)'s presence. Tata!" Pythor said, as he and the Serpentine all escaped on a Rattlercopter. The boys ran to the railing of the Bounty, and could only watch as they disappeared.
"They got away..." Kai muttered. Cole gritted his teeth and clinched his fist.
"We've got to save her." He said. At this time, Wu, Nya, Garmadon and Lloyd, who had all heard the commotion, had run up to the upper deck.
"Guys! What happened?!" Nya asked, making the boys all turn to them. "The Serpentine showed up. They took (Y/n)." Jay said, making Nya gasp.
"Why would they want (Y/n)?" Lloyd asked, looking at Wu. Wu and Garmadon both paled, and their eyes widened widened as the made eye contact.
"I... we believe we know why." Garmadon said, making everyone look at them in anticipation.
------------------------------------------------------
(Y/n) groaned as she opened her eyes. She sat up from the ground, and was hit with a pounding head ache. Putting a hand to her head in an attempt to calm her head ache, she looked around to see that she was under ground.
"Where am I?" She asked herself. She stood up and walked around her enclosure. there was some light coming from the cell door, but other that that, the room had no light of its own. However, (Y/n) could still make out the markings on the cell wall. They talked about the Serpentine past, and the Great Devourer. "Huh." She said, reading the markings.
"I see you're interested in the markings on the walls." A voice said, startling (Y/n). She turned around quickly to reveal that the voice belonged to Pythor. "They tell of the entire Serpentine history, and of several prophecies." He continued, entering the cell. (Y/n) glared at the snake. "What do you want?" She asked. "I want to help you." Pythor replied. "Help me? What do you mean?" (Y/n) asked, her expression turning to confusion. Pythor Smirked.
"My dear, haven't you always wondered who you are? Where you're from?" He asked, as (Y/n) was shocked. "How did--" "I can tell you everything you want to know, but I need something in return." Pythor said, approaching her. "And what's that?" (Y/n) asked with a skeptical expression. Pythor's smirk widened. He had (Y/n) right where he wanted her. "Your alliance." He said, making (Y/n)'s eyes widen. "What?" She asked. "I give you the information you've always wanted. In return, you join our side, and help us achieve our goal." Pythor explained. (Y/n) thought for a minute. "Tell me. But I'll have to think about joining you." She said. "Oh well, I'll take what I can get." Pythor said, his smirk never fading.
------------------------------------------------------
The group all gathered in the Bridge. Nya light a lantern and put it on the table. "All right spill it! What does Pythor want with (Y/n)?" Cole asked, an angered look on his face.
"Yeah, why'd they take her? What gives?" Jay asked, an angered look on his face as well. Wu and Garmadon shared a look, before Wu sighed, almost as if in defeat. "As you all know, I took (Y/n) in from an orphanage when she was 6. What little she knew about her past she shared with you, correct?" He spoke up. Making the others nod. "Still, there are things that she does not know about herself. Things that we never wanted her to find out until she was ready." Garmadon said, putting a hand on his brother's shoulder, as the group looked at them with confused looks.
"What things? (Y/n) said you had no idea where she came from." Lloyd commented, remembering his earlier conversation with (Y/n). "(Y/n) isn't an ordinary girl. She..." Wu trailed off, causing Garmadon to pick up. "She is my daughter." He said, shocking everyone.
------------------------------------------------------
(Y/n) stared at Pythor with shock in her eyes. "I... I'm what?" She asked, sitting down. "It's true. You are (Y/n) Garmadon. First born to Lord Garmadon. But that isn't all." Pythor said, as the color left (Y/n)'s face. "What more could there be?!" She yelled. "I assume you've asked you master about where you've come from, and he said he didn't know. Am I right?" Pythor asked, making (Y/n) nod slightly. "Y-yes, why?" She asked, rather nervously.
"I'm so sorry to say this, but you see, your beloved Sensei lied to you." Pythor informed, making (Y/n)'s face pale. "He.. he lied to me?" She asked, her eyes showing hurt and betrayal. "I'm afraid so. He knew everything about you. Where you come from, who you are. He even knew your mother." Pythor said, making (Y/n)'s eyes widen even more that before. She snapped her attention to Pythor and slowly stood up. "My mother? Wu knew my mother?" She asked, desperate for clarification. "You may want to stay seated for this. This information is a bit much for you." Pythor said, pushing her back down. "You see, long ago, when your father was being corrupted by evil, he met your mother, Evelynn. The two fell in love and had you. But your mother was not all that she seemed." Pythor said, turning away from (Y/n), who took a step towards him. "What?! What was with my mother?!" She begged. This was the most she had heard about either of her parents, and she wasn't going to let the opportunity slip away. However, this was exactly where Pythor wanted her.
He knew that if he could get her broken enough, she would lose her trust in her Sensei, and he'd have a bigger chance of getting her to join his side. His smirk widened to an impossible length as he turned to face the girl. Desperation was written all over her face. 'Right where I need you.' He thought, as he approached her with the tablet from earlier. He handed it to her and she looked at it in confusion. "What is this?" She asked, looking from it to him. "It's old, but it tells of a specific family in the Anacondrai family. Our great leader, General Arcturus and the family that he had. I think you'll find it most interesting. I'll leave you here to read it." Pythor said, leaving the cell, before he stopped. "Oh, and don't feel as though you have to stay in this cell. You're free to leave and go back to your friends anytime, but after reading that, you might want to stick around for a little bit." He said, leaving the area, and the cell door open. (Y/n) looked at where the snake once stood, before turning her attention to the tablet in her hands. She read it for a little bit, before her eyes widened in fear, and dread.
------------------------------------------------------
The falcon was flying over the Anacondrai tomb, when it spotted Pythor exiting it and approaching the other Serpentine Generals. It flew in a little closer, but stayed hidden. This way, it could hear what they were saying.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Scales asked.
"Oh, I believe things will fall exactly into place for us." Pythor replied.
"How can you be so confident? The Yellow Ninja is very loyal to her team. She will not betray them just because you tell her a story." Acidicus said, making Pythor chuckle. "Gentlemen, when someone is broken enough, they will do anything to find hope. She's gone forever not knowing who she is, and I've been the only one to help her. Soon enough her loyalty will be with me, and not her team." Pythor explained.
Little did he know, that the ninja were listening in to the conversation through the Falcon. "He's planning to use (Y/n)'s heritage to turn her against us!" Cole said, anger in his voice. "We have to get her back!"
"Woah, woah, woah, are we sure that's a good idea?" Kai asked, skeptically, making Cole glare at him. "What do you mean?! She's our leader! I--we need her!" Cole argued, yelling at Kai. "I know, but who's to say we aren't already to late?" Kai asked, trying to justify his questioning.
"Kai is right. Pythor only said that 'soon' (Y/n) would betray us. He didn't say how soon." Nya commented, backing her brother up. "Yeah, but come on! This is (Y/n) we're talking about. She cares about us more than anything. She would never hurt us, we're all family!" Jay said. "Figurative family yes, but she has just found out about her true family. She may have a different take on us now." Zane said, making the room grow silent. All the ninja knew this to be true, but they were still worried something would go wrong.
"I understand your concerns, but this is my daughter. I wasn't there for 17 years of her life. If Pythor really has told her about her heritage, then she is going to need someone to be there for her. I'm going to be that someone. You all are her team. If anyone should be helping to get her back, it's you." Garmadon said, looking at each individual person in the room.
"I'm going with you." Wu said, stepping up. "I vowed to (Y/n)'s mother that I would keep her safe. I do not plan to break that promise anytime soon. Besides, I'm the one who lied to her for 12 years. I need to clear things up with her." He continued, looking down for a second. The team looked at each other, before looking at Wu and Garmadon. "We're in." Kai said.
"First, we need a plan of attack. Having (Y/n) on his side would be a huge ace up Pythor's sleeve. He's going to have her heavily guarded, and locked up. Rescuing her will be harder than rescuing Lloyd was." Zane stated, making everyone nod in agreement. "I have an idea." Wu said, after a moment of silence, which made everyone turn to him. "Obviously not all of us will be able to get into the tomb, so Garmadon and I will go after (Y/n). Nya and Lloyd will be our eyes in the skies. Alert us if any Serpentine head our way. The rest of you ninja draw the Serpentine way from the tomb. Stall them as long as you can, while we try to find (Y/n)" Wu explained, as the Ninja were getting ready for their fight. "This will be very dangerous, but we must give it everything we have." Wu continued. "They took (Y/n). There is no way we're letting this slide." Cole replied, putting a hand on Wu's shoulder. "Yeah, they messed with the wrong ninja." Kai added. Just then, Nya spoke through the intercom. "Attention everyone! Prepare for drop off. This is as close as I can get you without being spotted." She said. "Thanks sis." Kai answered. "Let's go get our leader back!" He stated to the others, before they all jumped off the rail of the Bounty. The Serpentine Generals spotted the boys as they landed on the ground.
"The ninja are here to retrieve (Y/n)! Don't let them pass!" Skales ordered, and the serpentine begun to attack the Ninja. While the Serpentine and Ninja fought, Wu and Garmadon stayed hidden behind a rock next to the entrance of the Tomb. They saw the Falcon fly over them, before Nya spoke through their head-pieces. "You're all clear." She said. "Thank you Nya." Wu responded. "Anytime. Bring my sister back." She said, as the two entered the Tomb. One they were in, they walked down a hall in silence. "You know, if she is anything like her mother, she'll have her mother's anger." Garmadon said. "I know. That's what scares me. Right now we need to focus on finding which cell she is in." Wu said, looking ahead. "Agreed. Someone's coming! Hide!" Garmadon said, pushing his brother behind a rock when he heard footsteps. They watched as a person rounded the corner, staying hidden as to not be spotted, but let out gasps of surprise when they saw that the person was
(Y/n).
"(Y/n)!" They both said, smiling as they approached the girl. Master Wu piled her into a hug, before holding her at arms length to look at her. "I was worried we wouldn't find you!" He said. "Why? Afraid I'd find out about all the lies you told me?" She said, crossing her arms as Wu took his hands off of her shoulders. "(Y/n)...." "I know everything. My Mother, my heritage...my Father." (Y/n) said, giving Garmadon a sideways glance. "(Y/n)...I wanted to tell you. I really did but-" "So why didn't you? I begged you. I begged you to tell me anything you may have known about me.... And you just sat there and lied to me!" (Y/n) yelled. "I had to find out from an enemy who I am. I had to find out from an enemy what I am. I had to find out from an enemy...." (Y/n) trailed off, not wanting what she had learned to be true. "....I'm part Anacondrai." She finally stated. "(Y/n), I'm sorry that I wasn't there all those years you needed me, but I'm here now. I know you're upset, confused, and you feel betrayed, but you mustn't-" "I mustn't what? Turn my back on you all? Why? Why would you even want a Serpentine on your side?" (Y/n) yelled, glaring at the men in front of her. "I'm a monster. I'm a serpent. Why would you even try to keep me on your side?" She continued, looking away from them. Wu and Garmadon stood in silence, not fully knowing what to say.
"You may be part Serpentine, but you're our sister first." A voice spoke up. The trio turned their heads to the source of the voice and saw that it was Cole, who had managed to sneak away from the fighting. "Cole...." (Y/n) whispered, as the boy approached her. "We all know that know matter what you are, you would never want to hurt us. You once said that you care about us more than anything. We're family. We're the team and you're our leader." Cole said, grabbing (Y/n)'s hand. "With out you, we'd all be lost. I-- we care about you. And we want you to come back to us." He continued, looking (Y/n) in the eyes. "Lying to you has been both my biggest mistake, and my biggest regret." Wu spoke up. "Please, come back to us so that I may be allowed to make it up to you." He said, taking a step towards the two. (Y/n) was silent for a moment. She looked down, allowing her hair to shade her eyes. "It will take me a while to forgive you." She said, making the trio look down defeated. Then (Y/n) looked up with a smile and tears in her eyes. She moved her hair away from her red iris. "But that doesn't mean it will be impossible." She said. The three looked up at her with the biggest smiles. Cole rushed over to embrace her in a tight hug.
"Thank you for coming to save me." She said, looking into his eyes. The two shared loving looks, before Garmadon cleared his throat. "We should get out of here. I'm not sure how much longer your team can hold up." Garmadon said, making the two pull away quickly with blushes on their faces, before (Y/n) realized something. "My team is fighting them alone?" (Y/n) asked, rushing to the exit of the tomb, with the others right behind her. When they got outside, she gasped at what she saw. Her family was beaten and on the ground, with Pythor and the Serpentine around them.
"You'll never win her over! (Y/n) is a good person!" Zane grunted.
"Yeah! She'll never turn to the likes of you!" Jay shouted, but this caused Pythor to let out an evil chuckle.
"Oh, I believe she will turn to me any moment soon. After all, she and I are basically family, what with us both being Anacondrai and all." He said, as some Serpentine punched/kicked each of the Ninja, making them yell in pain. (Y/n) stared at this in horror, but that horror quickly turned into anger. Cole, Wu, and Garmadon watched their friends be beaten, while coming up with a plan. "How are we going to save them? There are four of us and at least 100 of them." Garmadon muttered. "Our best bet would be to divide and conquer. What do you think (Y/n)?" Cole asked, unaware that the girl had stood up behind them. "(Y/n)?" He asked, turning around when he got no answer. The three gasped when they saw (Y/n) begin to glow a bright yellow as she walked past them. "I don't recall me ever wanting to betray my family." She called out, making Pythor and the other Serpentine turn to her, shocked when they saw her glowing.
"(N/n)!" The boys yelled in happiness when they saw her okay. "But, I told you of your past! You're a Serpentine! You belong with Serpentine!" Pythor yelled. "It's true I may be part Serpentine, but I'm a ninja first. My loyalties are with my team. They are my family, and I belong with them!" She yelled back at him. As she did, she began to glow brighter and brighter. Her eyes started to glow as well. "No way! (Y/n)'s found her True Potential!" Jay yelled. (Y/n) let her potential take over her body, and the stars glowed so bright that it looked like daytime. The brightness made the Ninja and Garmadon shade their eyes, and the Serpentine retreat. (Y/n) closed her eyes and began to float as she began to slowly glow silver instead of yellow. Her gi changed, and a purple streak had appeared in her bangs. As she returned to the ground, she stopped glowing. Cole rushed over to catch her before she fell to the ground. He helped her to stand. (Y/n) opened her eyes as her team ran towards her.
"That was so awesome!"
"(Y/n)! You're okay!"
"You've found your True Potential!"
"You look so cool!"
(Y/n) smiled as her team ranted on. "Thank you for coming after me." She said, before looking in Garmadon's direction. "All of you." She added. "You're our leader. We'd be lost without you." Kai responded with a smirk. "Yeah. It's like Master Wu said when we first met: You're the glue that keeps us all together." Jay added. "From the looks of your new attire, I suggest it is safe to assume that you are the Silver Ninja?" Zane asked. "Yes, I am." (Y/n) answered, making eye contact with Garmadon. "And I'm going to make sure nothing happens to Lloyd." She told him. "I know you will. I'm counting on it, my daughter." He said, pulling (Y/n) into a hug, which she gladly returned. When she pulled away she turned to Wu. "Your hair. It's different." He said, and he was right. It was styled completely different. Her Red eye was completely visible, and her hair was now messy. (Y/n) moved a bit of hair behind her left ear. "It looks good on you. It makes you seem more relaxed." Cole commented, making (Y/n) blush slightly. "Oh! And you have two different colored eyes! Even cooler!" Jay cheered, making (Y/n) chuckle. "You guys aren't bothered that I'm part Serpentine?" She asked, making Kai put a hand on her shoulder. "Of course not. We know you, and we know you are nothing like the other Serpentine. Plus, that just makes you all the more epic." He said.
"As nice as all this is, I was just kidnapped by Pythor, and you guys were badly beaten by the Serpentine. We should all head back to the Bounty and rest. The time of the Green Ninja is getting closer, and we still need to prevent the Great Devourer from being arisen." She said. "For what it is worth, I am glad that you have accepted your destiny as the Silver Ninja." Wu said to her as they began walking. "So am I." She smiled.
