The Demons and Masters

Only One Can Remain

I know Power is meant to be for Lloyd, but it fits with (Name).

Chen's ferry arrives at an island.

"Look at that." "Awesome."

Cole and Kai spoke as they saw the island.

"Let me see."

Karlof pushes Kai out of his way.

"Do you mind?" "Welcome to Chen's Island. The Tournament of Elements welcomes its brave fighters. Master Chen will be pleased you've returned, Sensei Garmadon." "The pleasure is all mine, Clouse." "I'm sure it is." "Definitely feeling some tension between you two." "Yeah, and how is it we're on an island I've never seen on any map?" "And care to explain how the face to Ninjago's most popular noodle house is secretly assembling an underground fighting tournament?!" "Master Chen used to be a friend. Now he's a traitor. During the Serpentine Wars, Chen turned against his own kind and sided with the treacherous snakes." "The battle you and Uncle Wu fought together in? He was an enemy?" "He used deception to divide the Elemental Masters. We barely defeated the Serpentine, and in a deal for his surrender, Chen was to never leave this island. Little did we know, he'd begin to build his criminal empire from here."

Lloyd, out the corner of his eye, saw a woman with blue skin.

Blue? Is that you?

Lloyd thought as he watched her walk past him.

"He may have divided our ancestors, but he's not gonna divide us."

Kai sees Skylor walking behind him. Jay didn't know why, but it hurt him seeing how Kai looked at Skylor.

"Uh...ladies first!"

Kai pushes the ninja aside.

"Fire will melt her icy heart. Just wait."

Jay felt his heart tighten at Kai's words as Garmadon sighs.

"This is a big island. Zane could be anywhere. Keep an eye out." "So this is the house that noodles built. Ha! Always wanted to go to a Red Carpet event." "Chen lives like a king. Here, he's totally self-sufficient. The only way on or off this island is with his permission, which you have to earn." "You never told me about this place. How do you know so much about this island?" "Because before Chen was my enemy, he was my Sensei."

Garmadon shows them his Anacondrai tattoo.

The Elemental Masters arrive inside the palace and sat in a circle.

"You never told me you had a Sensei." "When I was your age, I sought a darker means of guidance. He taught me to win at all cost, no matter who I hurt. It wasn't until you saved me that I saw the light." "Uh, apparently he also never taught you to have a sense of humor. Lighten up, we're in an underground fight club. This is supposed to be fun."

Zugu bangs a gong and Eyezor turns on a gramophone.

"All rise for Master Chen." "Welcome to the Tournament of Elements! Now everyone can all di-"

The door sudden closes and everyone gasps.

"—rect your attention to me."

Chen laughs while Garmadon sighs.

"I forgot to mention, he has a penchant for theatrics." " Never before have so many Elemental Fighters been under one roof. I see Master of Fire, Earth, Shadow, Speed, Power, Water, even a prophesied Green Savior. And a former pupil has returned."

Chen points to the gong.

"This symbol before you is for the Anacondrai, fiercest Serpentine warrior to ever roam this land. Its creed: Only one can remain."
