The chapter starts off at the pyramid, where the Serpentine are looking for the Constrictai Fangblade. Pythor suddenly stop slithering, which causes Skales to bump into him.

Skales: Ugh. Why musssst we sssstop if the next Fangblade is just ahead of ussss?

Pythor Uses his Staff to crumble the floor beneath them.

Pythor: What good is unlocking the Great Devourer with the four Fangblades, if we're not around to see it? Get the boy!

Skales: Bring the boy!

Two Serpentine frees Lloyd from his chain.

Lloyd: Oh, you're letting me go?

Pythor: Heh, only to fetch, my dear boy. Do step lightly.

Pythor leads him to the ledge, as Lloyd almost falls, he screamed.

Pythor: Bring me the Fangblade, and I'll let you go.

Lloyd: Oh. *Grunts* woah!!

He miraculously avoids all the traps, as He arrived at the chamber, he looks at the pedistal, but it's empty.

Lloyd: *echoes* it's gone!!

Pythor: It's gone!?

Skales: Where issss it?

Lloyd: Do I still get to be freed?

Pythor: No!

Lloyd: Ugh!

At the Destiny's Bounty, the ninja are trying to figure out how to stop Pythor from unleashing the Devourer while examining a Fangblade hologram.

Nya: They got the first one, but there are three more, and we just need one to stop Pythor. They have a map, and we don't, so they question remains: how are we gonna find them first?

Jay: I still can't get over the fact that you were the mysterious Samurai. Is anyone else blown away like I am?

Kai: We're over that. Can we move on?

Jay: *Speaks Gibberish* Someone's a little hot under the collar.

Zane It appears his impatience is because he has not found inner peace and unlocked his full potential like you and I have, Jay.

Kai: Great observation, Mr. Roboto, but Cole hasn't found it either.

Cole: I got it!

Kai: You've unlocked it? Oh, why am I the only one!?

Cole: No, I figured out where I recognized the Fangblade from. I have a picture of it.

Cole goes to get the picture.

Kai: Oh, haha, is that it? Heh. Good.

Cole: I got it!

He shows them the Blade Cup from his photo album.

Jay: That's it!

Cole: Back where I grew up, there's this pretty big competition where every year the winner gets the Blade Cup. My dad's won it multiple times.

Zane: You never told us your dad was an accomplished athlete. What sport?

Cole: Oh, h-he's a, uh...a blacksmith.

Kai: Nothing wrong with that. My father was a blacksmith, too. But I've never heard of a competition—

Cole: That's because he's not a "blacksmith" blacksmith. He's a...Royal Blacksmith.

He turns a page of his album to show them a picture of his dad. Everyone snickers.

Jay: That's your dad?
