(The citizens of Ninjago City are under attack. Cobras and Pyro Vipers everywhere. 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 who betrayed me. Who imprisoned me for ages inside a crumpling 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. It bears his scent. Fire Fang, to me. Lead me to the Treacherous Deceiver! Find him, 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 one who betrayed me! Go!
(Meanwhile in the Museum, the ninja removed some of the debris.)
Lloyd: That way. Come on. (They run out of the museum and see Fire Fang.) We gotta stop that thing. (He gets ready to jump into action.)
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?
Izzy: Don't look at me. I've only been around for as long as the second serpentine war.
Jay: What about Skales? Well, he's Serpentine. Maybe he knows.
Nya: The Serpentine don't usually get involved.
Coral: But maybe they'll help us this time.
Cole: Only one way to find out.
Lloyd: Okay. Jay, Cole, Izzy, and Kai, you guys track down Skales. Find out what you can.
Kai: Well, what are you gonna do?
Lloyd: We're gonna see if we can slow Aspheera down. Get that scroll back. Come on! (The ninja all rush off.)
(Later, Kai, Cole, Izzy, 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! (Kai silently giggles.)
Izzy: (On Cole's shoulder.) I quite like it. It's comforting. (They approached three tunnels with graffiti symbols.)
Cole: Aw, great. I don't suppose either of you know how to read Serpentine.
Kai: Nope.
Jay: Not me.
