It had been a few hours since the Jungle Choppers had been driving in the dense jungle. There had been no signs of the living statues or any dangers dangers...yet. Suddenly, Lloyd stops his Jungle Choppers once he saw something rustling amongst the large jungle leaves. The Jungle Choppers stop as well.
"What's wrong?" Nya asks immediately.
"I thought I saw something up there. An animal." Lloyd explains.
"We're in the jungle, Lloyd. I'm sure there's lots of animals." Jay says sarcastically. Cole's stomach rumbles.
"Hey, did anyone bring a snack? I'm starving."
"I did." Cole's eyes lighten up.
"Great!"
"But it fell in the ocean." Jay finishes with a sarcastic tone. Cole sits down on Kai's Jungle Chopper with a huff.
"Thanks for getting my hopes up."
"What kind of animals are there on this island, Twitchy?" Katarina asks Twitchy carefully.
"Uh, poisonous pythons, poisonous jaguars, poisonous frogs, poisonous eels, poisonous piranhas, poisonous birds!" His voice getting louder and louder with each thing he listed off from the top of his head. Although, that poisonous birds part seemed kinda unbelievable if you think about it.
"Poisonous birds?" Nya echoes.
"Pretty much everything on this island is poisonous! Especially those berries." He points to a bush of berries Cole was eating from, but once Cole heardt that, he spit the berries out of his mouth.
"Whatever is on this island, it won't stop us from finding my mom and Master Wu." Lloyd says, adjusting himself in his seat and grabbing the steering wheel.
"And Clutch Powers." Nya reminds him.
Lloyd nods absentmindely. "Oh yeah, right. And Clutch." Katarina could feel herself agreeing with him in her head. She didn't like Clutch Powers either. The Jungle Choppers start up and drive again in the dense jungle, just as a creature with horns and sharp claws rustled again in the distance.
After a few more hours of driving, the Jungle Choppers ended up in a large clearing. Everyone gets off their respective vehicles. "Let's leave the Jungle Choppers here. There's no way we're gonna drive through that." Lloyd says, pointing to an area that was way more dense and more full of greenery than what they've been driving through for the past four hours.
Suddenly, a large growling was heard, causing Twitchy to shudder in fear and Kai to laugh at Cole. "Ha, you weren't kidding. You really are hungry. I can hear your stomach growling from here."
Cole raises his eyebrow in confusion. "Uh, that wasn't my stomach."
Kai's eyes narrow. Something or someone was watching them from a distance. "Well, if it wasn't your stomach, then who's -?" The growling became louder now. Everyone was on high alert. Twitchy curls up into a tight ball, and hides his face into his knees and chest.
"What are you doing?" Lloyd asks, going up to Twitchy.
"Assuming survival position!" The leaves rustled around them at a very fast pace, darting this way and that. A coconut drops by Nya's feet, and when she goes to pick it up, the creature watching them darts towards her and the coconut at a high speed.
She draws in a gasp. Everyone except Nya draws out their weapons. The creature tackles her. "NYA!" Zane screams. The creature, apparently a dragon with turquoise skin, scales, a lopsided look, small feathery wings, very tall horns, and sharp talons pins Nya down with its claws.
