In Ninjago City, Spitta runs away as he's being chased by the ninja but gets cornered. "Going somewhere?" Cole asks pointing his wewpon at him.

"Thought you could joyride through town and not be noticed, eh? Where's the last Fangblade?" Jay asks.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Spitta says.

"You know what it is. The fourth Fangblade. When Pythor finds them all, he plans to unleash the Great Devourer." Kai says.

"Oh, that Fangblade. Haha, you're too late. Pythor's already there now. He's probably already digging it up. If I were you, I'd start preparing for the worst, because when the Great Devourer is awakened, there will be nothing it won't consume!" Spitta says laughing.

"Won't that mean it'll consume you too?" Zane asks.

The snake takes a moment to absorb this knowledge before freaking out. "Ah! Please, you have to stop him. That snake is crazy. I don't wanna unleash the Great Devourer. I'm a snake, not food!"

"Is it really too late to stop Pythor from getting the last Fangblade?" Kai asks.

"You're days behind him. There's gotta be something else you can do!" Spitta exclaims.

Later on the Bounty, the ninja have reported everything they learned to the rest of the team and are locating the location of the last Fangblade. "The Venomari's right. By the time we cast sail clear across the other side of Ninjago, Pythor will have already beat us to the last Fangblade." Nya says.

"Oh, come on, guys. This is the last one. We gotta get it. We gotta think of something." Jay says.

"Hmm." Cole says lost in thought.

Lloyd who has been leaning against a wall being quiet the whole time speaks up. "Hey."

Kai turns look at him. "Huh?"

"All we have to do is just get one Fangblade to stop him. What if we take back the other three? Pythor wouldn't risk having them all on him. He's probably hidden them somewhere while he goes for the fourth." Lloyd says.

"It's so simple." Cole says.

"Huh, why didn't I think of that?" Kai asks.

"It can't be that easy." Jay says.

"Easy? My algorithms suggest taking the other three would be far more dangerous. Pythor would undoubtedly have them protected by his top generals." Zane says.

"Ha, finally. I don't have to hold back." Kai says.

"Even if you could steal the other three, you don't even know where they are." Garmadon speaks up.

"He's right. For the past few weeks, there have been almost no Serpentine sightings. How are they moving around? It's like they're ghosts." Wu says.

"Or snakes. Bridge, give me a sonar sweep of Ninjago." Nya says. The computer shows no activity.

"See, nothing. It's just like Sensei said." Kai says.

"But what if they aren't traveling above ground? They're snakes, right? Snakes burrow. Bridge, now give me a sonar sweep of Ninjago but twenty feet below surface." Nya says, the computer shows them the tunnels the Serpentine took.

"All the tombs have been interconnected." Kai says.

"To make one massive underground fortress." Cole says.

"And all this time, right under our noses." Jay says.

"Or rather, feet." Zane says.

Kai points to the main base. "There, that's the most protected area. The Fangblades must be held there."
