Scales drives for what feels like forever. We're far away from Ninjago, now we're in the middle of the desert. It's sunset by the time he finally drives through another city I've never seen before. This must be the lost city he was going off about.
"I wonder if Kai is wondering where we are. Or has he even gone back to pick us up from the arcade yet?"
We drive through the path to the center of the town. Everything is made out of stone, the buildings, the surrounding walls, there's even enormous snake statues carved from stone as well.
Once the bus stops, everyone gets off and Scales leads us into an arena. There's a circle of seats overlooking a pit in the center. All the serpents cheer excitedly for the event to start.
"What exactly do you think is going to happen?" Lloyd whispers over to me once we sit down. We're on the second to top row and can see all the tribe leaders beneath us. Scales and Pythor are talking underneath another stone serpent. This one however, is twice the size of the other ones. The other leaders are on the other side of the arena and don't look too pleased to be here.
I shrug my shoulders, "How should I know?" I glance around me seeing just how many snakes are surrounding us, "But this could either end up really good or really bad." I finally mutter.
My brother gives me a weird look, but before he can speak, Pythor is addressing the audience. Scales slithers to the other side of the arena to join to other generals.
"I bring you together to the Lost City of Ouroboros, before the statue of our very own Great Devourer, to speak of unity."
I gasp silently and lean towards Lloyd again, "The Great Devourer! They're talking about it again. They are obsessed!"
He nods, "maybe we'll find out what it is."
"Where are the fights?" a snake somewhere in the audience exclaims
"Where's the big show?" Another adds
Suddenly the entire arena starts chanting "Slither Pit! Slither Pit!" over and over again.
"Just like the Hypnobrai did in the ice caves." my twin whispers over to me.
Pythor lets out an angry growl, but continues to speak as calmly as possible despite his visible annoyance, "You want a show? You want to see a fight? I ask for your allegiance, but you will not give it. So I will take it!"
"What are the saying?" One of the Fangprye heads snaps angrily
"I challenge the 4 tribe generals for their staffs and allegiance, at once!" He replies furiously
The audience erupts in applause and cheers of excitement, ready to see the fight between the 5 leaders.
"I fought hard for this staff," the Venomari general says as they 4 leaders slither into the center to join Pythor, "and I will not give it up easily."
"There's no way he can defeat the 4 of us at once." The Constrictai says mockingly. He approaches Pythor first, swinging his staff, but the Anacondrai swings his tail around and knocks the Constrictai down.
The Venomari jumps in next while Pythor is distracted by the other snake, trying to land a hit with his staff as well. However, his attack misses and well and Pythor is able to knock him down as well. The Fangprye attacks next, but doesn't have any luck as well.
Finally, they all attack at once. I notice that Scales is staying mostly to the side and only half fighting, definitely holding back.
"You noticing Scales too?" Lloyd whispers over to me
