     Basil, Skales, Pythor, and a few henchmen with Lloyd move through what look to be ancient catacombs.

Basil: Ah this brings back good memories~

Skales: Of what may I ask?

Basil: Conquest

Skales: Ah yes you were quite the warlord were you not?

Basil: Oh the past is the past~ nothing we can quite change so easily so why not we focus on the future~

Pythor: Yes. Now Basil are you sure the Fangblade is here?

Basil: Positive that they would have put it here. Just watch your ste-!!!

Basil seeing Pythor move ahead quickly grabs his arm before pulling him back as the floor crumbles infront of them.

Pythor: Ah! Watch our step. Got it... hmm I have an idea. Bring the boy!

With a simple bow Skales turns towards the Serpentine soldiers as they bring Lloyd up to Pyhtor dropping the chains off his body.

Lloyd: Y-your letting me go!?

Basil: Not yet my friend. Pyhtor has a task you must accomplish

Pythor grunts before grabbing Lloyd and throwing him across the crumbled floor onto "safe" Ground.

Pythor: Retrieve the Fangblade my dear boy and I'll let you go~ watch your step!

Basil nervously clicks his hands together as he watches Lloyd panic running through all the traps. Arrows, falling ceiling, more crumbleling floor, somehow against all odds the boy makes it to the end.

Lloyd: I-ITS GONE!

Pythor/Basil: WHAT!!!

Lloyd: DO I STILL GET TO BE FREE!?

Pythor: NO!!!

Basil angrily punches the wall next to him barely missing Skales. His hood flares up as he looks forward. His eyes glowing a eery red

Basil: Nononononono NO! WE WILL NOT BE KEPT APART!

Skales: Basil calm down. The Devourer will be awakened it's only a matter of time.

Basil: But I have the decorations and everything ready~

Pythor: Yes yes very endearing. Now let's get a move on we have a blade to find.

*With Wu and Garmadon in the dark realm*

Garmadon: Let's hope we reach the summit by Nightfall. Kraglings never miss a snack

Wu: Kraglings? What is this place there is no such thing in Ninjago?

Garmadon: Not all things are supposed to be found brother... So you say Basil has been awakened before the Devourer?

Wu: Yes. He is quite determined to awaken his fiancee even if it is for the world.

Garmadon: As loyal as ever. Probably just as good a fighter aswell. This will be problematic... Wu if he has layed a hand on my son

Wu: Do not worry Garmadon Basil has a soft heart now. He has changed and just wants his dearest back

Garmadon: His love can lead to hatred and fury quickly. A master in tactics and war plus a nearly unstoppable beast with obsession issues. They cannot reunite brother if they do-

Wu: I know

Garmadon:....

They climb quietly for a couple moments before Wu starts the conversation up again

Wu: I think you and him should have a chat.

Garmadon: Why is that?

Wu: Well your technically brothers-in-law

Garmadon stops climbing soon followed by Wu as they look at eachother. With a sigh Garmadon continues and Wu follows

*Back with the Serpentine*

As Basil was in the room with the other generals discussing what they should do. A Serpentine runs into the room

?: BASIL! PYTHOR! Look what I found!

Jeffery said as he ran inside waving a paper in his hands frantically.

Pythor: We are having a important conversation!

Basil: *sigh* It's ok Jeffery, what is the problem

Jeffery: I FOUND THE FANGBLADE!

Jeffery hand the paper to Pythor as Basil easily Looks over him and down at the paper. It turns out it was a poster for a dance competition, the trophy was a nice gold trophy but with the Fangblade sitting at the top.

Pyhtor: The Fangblade

Basil: Doesn't belong to them.

Pyhtor: I believe we can handle this Basil. No need to bother the others

Basil: Yes. Good job Jeffery, say hi to Lisa for me!

Pythor and Basil nod at eachother, both knowing what happens next.

*Timeskip*

Pythor was in disguise as a judge for the competition wearing ridiculous clothes. However Basil simply stood their looking at Pythor confused

Pythor: Why are you not in disguise!

Basil: Their is no need! These people are fans of mine!

Basil says as he waves at a group of girls who wave back before walking away with a giggle. Pythor looks at Basil perplexed as he questions how?

Basil: You see. Once I explained how that fang was once my dearest they felt some sympathy. That and I brought along Skales who used hypnosis

Skales: Hello~

Skales says as he leans out from behind Basil waving at Pythor who pinches his bridge.

Pythor: I'm a bit upset I didn't think of that?

The shows began to play as the Serpentine watched competitor after competitor. Basil or Pythor were not a good judge because they would only give 10/0 points. Basil could now see the trophy as it was brought out to show the  audience. He swiftly turned the man holding it too stone before slithering on stage and grabbing the fang

Pythor: Basil don't act so recklessly!

Basil: We have the fang. Stop complaining

A loud yelling gained the Serpentine's attention as they see the Ninja run on stage. They didn't seem to be messing around as they held their golden weapons

Basil: This doesn't belong to you

Jay: Yeah! Well it doesn't belong to you either

Kai: Yeah! So just hand over the trophy Basil

Basil: I don't think I will? In fact I hope you have medical facilities in this town

Basil takes a deep breath in before releasing a massive plume of purple smoke. Everyone breaths it in as the ninja hold their breath, sadly it was too late as they cough and sputter before falling over. Serpentine were immune to the smoke luckily

Basil: We're finished here.

Skales: Are you alright?

Basil: Never better, we are one step closer afterall

Pythor falls back noticing the red glint in his eyes when he said that. It was Suspicious to him and he wouldn't let it go so easily this time
