The ninja set off in different directions. Kai and Jay to the venomari, Cole, Zane and Morro went to the constrictai.

"This is our destination?" Cole asked.
"Yep, seems like it." Morro said.
The three stared up. They were looking at a rather tall mountain.
"The entrance must be at the top." Zane implied.
"Wait, isn't this the mountain of a million steps?" Cole squinted to see the top.

"Yes...." Morro said looking at the others.
"Well! Hop on!" Cole bent down.
"What are you doing?" Zane questioned his squatting friend.
"Imma carry you to the top!" Cole said.
"I'll get up my own way." Morro denied Cole's request. Zane accepted and claimed onto Cole's back. The climb started!

Morro was just kind of hopping on the ledges getting from one to another with his elemental power.
They were about halfway before Zane popped a question.
"Are you fine?" Zane asked Cole.
"Light as a feather pinky! Hang on tight!" Cole said.
"Pinky?" Morro snickered.
"My new nickname for him you know?" Cole said continuing to climb.
They reached the top and found an open entrance.

"Looks like Pythor was already here." Zane said
"Huff ah, really?" Cole said panting.
"Doesn't mean we shouldn't check it out." Morro said hopping down.
"Wait!" Zane called out. He looked back at Cole.
"Go ahead, huff puff, I'll catch up..." Cole said shooing Zane off.

Zane let down a rope, tied it on a rock and climbed down and landed on a circular platform.
"Hey Zane, look." Morro held a torch to some pictures and symbols on the cave walls.
"Hmm, that sure is interesting." Zane said examining them.

There was a picture of five serpentine with staffs, and an army behind them. On the right was one big snake with crumbling ground around it.

Cole slid down the rope.
"Oh woah, what do you think it all means?"
"From the looks of it, nothing good." Morro said feeling the wall.
"It seems that one tribe will unite them all...." Zane said.
"Ah..." Morro remarked.
"It says here once they unite, they will find the four fang blades that release the great devourer." Zane continued

"A great evil that will turn day into night." Morro finished.
"You get all that from these little pictures?" Cole asked.

"This isn't good." Morro stepped back.
"Indeed..it gives me deep concern. If Pythor unleashes all of the tombs and unite all the tribes before Kai and Jay find him--" Zane said before getting cut off.
"Relax you two. So dramatic!" Cole said "
They're a bunch of dumb snakes who believe in fairy tales. If anything, we got all the-"

The three ninja felt a ruble in the ground.
"Did you feel that?" Cole asked.
"What?" Zane asked.
"There's something in the ground!" Cole said.
"Don't move...."

Suddenly, a Constictai, the general popped out of the ground and wrapped his tail around Zane.
"I've been waiting for you! Pythor sends his regards." The general said.
"Did you stay being just to tell us that?!" Zane struggled to break free.
"Pathetic!"

"Nice burn Zane!" Morro said preparing to fight.
"Look who's talking who pathetic, pinky!" The serpentine said.
"Hey! Only I call him pinky!" Cole grabbed his scythe and sang it at the ground creating a small quake.
The constrictai general let go of Zane and fled into the ground.
"Be careful! He could pop out of anywhere!"
"Zane! Morro! Go for the rope!" Cole said.

"You're coming too!" Morro said trying to grab Cole. Cole ducked and dogged his grab. Zane just about reached the rope when,
"AH!"
"Cole?" Zane turned around. Cole wasn't insight, only Morro was standing behind him.
"He got Cole underground!" Morro said! They herd Cole yell again.
"Okay, let's see if this works!" Morro put his hands on top of the hole and blasted as much wind as he could in there, causing the serpentine holding Cole to come out of the ground. He threw Cole away and fled back into the dirt.
