Chapter 108: Ancient History

Start from the beginning
                                    

Lloyd: We're gonna see if we can slow Aspheera down. 

Crystal: Yea, we've got to get that scroll back. Come on!

(Kai, Cole, Styx, and Jay make it underground.)

Jay: Aw why does Skales have to live in a sewer? Does the smell bother him? (See's Styx not being bothered by the smell) Or you? 

Styx: Not to us snakes, Jay. Not to us.

Kai: (Plugs his nose) It reeks in here.

Jay: Ugh. Yea, it smells like Cole's socks.

Cole: Hey! 

(They approach three tunnels with graffiti symbols.) 

Cole: Aw, great. I don't suppose either of you know how to read Serpentine.

Kai: Nope.

Jay: Not me.

Styx: I didn't learn the Serpentine writing system. But I know how to write Human words. Like, Styx.

Kai: Of course you know how to write your own name.

Styx: That's not all, I know how to write other words. Like, Crystal, Cole, Jay, Lloyd, Nya, Zane, Master Wu, Pixal, Primary Interactive X-ternal Assistant Lifeform, Garmadon, Misako, Jaya-

Cole: (Covering his ears) Someone please make him stop. (Groans)

Jay: That's because our language is easy. 

Styx: It's only easy because you were born into it. I wasn't, let's see you try to learn another species language. (Crosses his arms)

Kai: (Still looking at the graffiti symbols) He got you there, Jay.

Jay: Ok, ok, you win. Either way, non of us know how to read Serpentine. Now what?

Cole: Aw, we should have brought Zane.

Kai: Well we might as well flip a coin.

Jay: Oh, what's the difference. 

Styx: And there's three tunnels, not two.

Cole: I say we go back and—Aah! (A blade is pointed at him. Three Hypnobrai surround them.)

Jay: Gumdrops. 

(Zane, Lloyd, Crystal, and Nya run through the streets.)

Zane: They must be headed for the south side of the city.

Nya: But why? There's nothing there.

Zane: We must assume that the Deceiver is there.

Crystal: Zane. Can you find us a shortcut, so we can get ahead of her?

Zane: Cross referencing alternative routes. I have plotted the fastest route. This way. Jump! (They jump on a shuttle bus.)

Lloyd: (He sees Fire Fang.) There she is.

Zane: Now. (They jump off.)

Nya: So what's the plan?

Zane: I have an idea. (He runs.)

Nya: But Aspheera's over there.

Zane: I will return. (Keeps running) 

Nya: Now what?

Lloyd: You two distract her while I try to get that scroll back. (He jumps onto a building and sees the distance to the next jump.)

Crystal: On it! Let's do this Nya!
