Chaos

~4~

Having been beaten by the ninja, the Fangprye wanted to prove their worth to Lloyd and I by beating the Hypnobrai. We didn't have any objections to that, wanting revenge on them anyway so that's what we're doing now.

"We'll deal with the ninja later."

The serpents March up the snowy hills to the Hypnobrai tomb, the snake machines still following their every move. My brother and I ride with the general in one of the vehicles in the front, leading the others.

The Hypnobrai must've seen us coming because once we reach the top of the hill, they're waiting for us, ready to fight. Scales leading the way for them.

"The Hypnobrai!" I say with a smirk

"Now to teach them a lesson for betraying Lloyd and Lindsey Garmadon!" My brother says

We wait for a moment for the general say stare the attack, but when nothing happens I say, "do your thing, Fangprye. We let you out of your hole for a reason!"

"Attack!" Both heads finally yell and the army charges ahead. The other snake army starts to move in on us as well as the battle begins.

The general jumps out of the vehicle and faces off with Scales, both sets of eyes glaring for a second before they realize something.

"Scales, my old chum!" The deeper voice exclaims

"I didn't think I'd be fighting you!" The other adds as they slither over the Scales, "moved up in the world, have we?"

"If it isn't the Fangprye." Scales says cheerily, "of all the cold-blooded to creep up on us, I'm glad that it is a friend!"

Lloyd and I stare at them in shock, anger growing in both of us.

"Wait, we thought you were enemies." I say, "not friends!" We shout together.

The general turns back to us, "we were at war." One head explains.

"But seeing that Scales is now leading them, well, I don't see what we can't be comrades." The other says

"Had you released the Constrictai," Scales says, "the Venomari or heaven forbid the Anacondrai, then we would've had a tussle."

"A tussle?" Lloyd screams, "a tussle?! But we're the children of Garmadon, bringer of evil!"

The 2 leaders laugh and continue speaking together. My heart is pounding from how furious I am.

I glare down at them, "screw them. I am so sick of snakes!" I say to Lloyd

He doesn't reply as we listen to the others conversation, "what should we do with them?" Scales asks

"I could turn them into one of us." The Fangprye suggests

"Forget being sick of snakes, we might become one, Linds." He whispers over to me.

Scales hums disapprovingly, "no, the little tykes are pretty useless."

I scoff, "useless? Neither tribe could get hit with our help."

"Yeah," Lloyd says, face in a scowl, "they would still be locked away if it wasn't for us."

"What if you hypnotize them and make them think they're pigs?" The deeper voices head suggest, causing all of them to laugh.

"That'd be pretty funny!" Scales agrees

They continue talking as Lloyd leans over to me, "I think it's time for us to get out of here."

I hate retreating again, but he's right. I silently nod and we climb out of the vehicle and run from the 2 serpentine armies as they surround us.
