(The citizens of Ninjago City are under attack. Aspheera and Char watches from atop a building.)

Aspheera: (Chuckles.) Look at them. Scurrying like frightened field mice. Heh.

Char: What is your command? Shall we conquer the city? Build you a new empire?

Aspheera: I have no desire to rule a weak and timid rabble. I seek one thing: Revenge.

Char: Revenge, yes! Wonderful, sweet revenge. Against whom?

Aspheera: Who do you think? Against the Treacherous Deceiver and the follower who betrayed me. Who imprisoned me for ages inside a crumbling pyramid.

Char: Ah, him. Him. That's what I thought, just-just checking.

Aspheera: I will repay his treachery tenfold. With the power of the Forbidden Scroll, I will banish him to the most forsaken place in all creation.

Char: But how will you find him?

Aspheera: With this. (She opens the scroll.) It belonged to him and the girl. It bears his scent. Fire Fang, to me. Lead me to the Treacherous Deceiver and the follower! Find them, Fire Fang! (She lets it smell the Deceiver's scent. It points to a direction.) He has it. He has the scent! (She gets on the throne.) My revenge is at hand. (Laughs.) Go, Fire Fang! Lead me to the two who betrayed me! Go!

(The ninja removed some debris.)

Lloyd: That way. Come on. (They see Fire Fang.) We gotta stop that thing.

Zane: Wait, Lloyd. Aspheera has beaten us twice. And with the scroll she is more powerful than ever.

Lloyd: We can't just give up.

Zane: I am not proposing that. But Master Wu taught us to think before we rush into battle. We need to know more about her and this…"Deceiver." Perhaps then we will find a way to defeat her.

Kai: You're talking ancient Serpentine history.

Cole: Yeah. Who do you plan to ask?

Jay: What about Skales? Well, he's Serpentine. Maybe he knows.

Nya: The Serpentine don't usually get involved.

Cole: Only one way to find out.

Lloyd: Okay. Jay, Cole, Lilly, and Kai, you guys track down Skales. Find out what you can.

Lilly: You guys better have my orchid botted smell.

Kai: Well, what are you gonna do?

Lloyd: We're gonna see if we can slow Aspheera down. Get that scroll back. Come on!

(Kai, Cole, Lilly, and Jay made it underground.)

Jay: Aw why does Skales have to live in a sewer? Does the smell bother him? It smells like Cole's socks.

Cole: Hey!

Lilly: (To Cole) At remind me you have are clothes to wash when this is over it your turn.

Cole: I will Snowflake because your relax. (They approached three tunnels with graffiti symbols.) Aw, great. I don't suppose either of you know how to read Serpentine.

Kai: Nope.

Jay: Not me. (They look at Lilly.)

Lilly: Ancient Dragons and Serpentine are two different languages.

Cole: Aw, we should have brought Zane.

Kai: Well we might as well flip a coin.

Jay: Oh, what's the difference? Which tunnel was it again?
