"Ancient History."
Look at them.
Scurrying like frightened field mice.
What is your command?
Shall we conquer the city?
Build you a new empire?
I have no desire to rule a weak and timid rabble.
I seek one thing...
Revenge!
Revenge, yes.
Wonderful, sweet revenge. Against whom?
Who do you think?
Against the Treacherous Deceiver who betrayed me.
Who imprisoned me for ages inside a crumbling pyramid.
Ah. Him. Him.
That's what I thought, just... Just checking.
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.
But how will you find him?
With this. It belonged to him.
It bears his scent.
Fire-Fang.
To me.
Lead me to the Treacherous Deceiver.
Find him, Fire-Fang.
He has it. He has the scent.
My revenge is at hand.
Go, Fire-Fang.
Lead me to the one who betrayed me.
Go!
That way.
Come on.
We gotta stop that thing.
Wait, Lloyd.
Aspheera has beaten us twice,
and with the scroll, she is more powerful than ever.
We can't just give up.
I am not proposing that.
But Master Wu taught us to think before rushing into battle.
We need to know more about her and this Deceiver.
Perhaps then, we will find a way to defeat her.
You're talking ancient Serpentine history.
Yeah, who do you plan to ask?
What about Scales?
Well, he's Serpentine. Maybe he knows.
The Serpentine don't usually get involved.
Only one way to find out.
Okay, Jay, Cole and Kai, you guys track down Scales.
-Find out what you can. -Well, what are you gonna do?
We're gonna see if we can slow Aspheera down
and get that scroll back. Come on!
Aw. Why does Scales have to live in a sewer?
Doesn't the smell bother him?
It smells like Cole's socks.
Hey.
Oh, great.
I don't suppose either of you know how to read Serpentine?
Nope. Not me.
Ah. We should have brought Zane.
Well, we might as well flip a coin.
Oh, what's the difference? Which tunnel was it again?
I say we go back and...
They must be headed for the south side of the city.
But why? There's nothing there.
We must assume the Deceiver is there.
Zane, can you plot us a shortcut?
So we can get ahead of her?
Cross-referencing alternate routes.
I have plotted the fastest route.
This way.
Jump!
There she is.
Now!
So, what's the plan?
I have an idea.
But Aspheera's over there.
I will return.
You distract her while I try to get that scroll back.
Here goes nothing.
Hiya, fellas.
Ninja, go!
Again?
These Ninja are a plague.
Fire-Fang, destroy them.
Sorry. But I have other plans.
Lloyd. I hope this works.
Hey! I'm not done yet, fireworm!
Destroy them!
Nothing will stand in the way of my vengeance.
Hang in there, Nya.
Again. Blast it again, Fire-Fang.
Surprise.
There! Get them.
Lloyd!
Where's Zane?
Beats me.
You!
This grows tiresome.
Fire-Fang, destroy them.
Hop on!
What now?
I sure hope the others are doing better than we are.
Hey, watch it.
Yeah, we're friends with Scales, you know.
And he's not gonna be happy when he hears
-you were shoving us around.
Is that what we are?
Friends?
Sure we are, right? Pal?
Every time you come down here,
it's because someone is trying to destroy the surface world.
Ah.
You're right. We're here because someone's attacking
the surface world, and we need your help. Okay?
We need to know about Aspheera and the Treacherous Deceiver.
Aspheera is part of our history.
But this other name...
Treacherous Deceiver.
This, I have never heard.
But there is one who may know. Follow me.
Whoa.
This is Acidicus.
He runs our library.
He loves books.
They wish to know about Aspheera
and the Treacherous Deceiver.
Aspheera...
who tried to overthrow King Mambo the Fifth.
And the Treacherous Deceiver who betrayed her...
Yes...
I know this tale.
In the time of the First Spinjitzu Master,
there was a truce between humans and Serpentine.
Humans were forbidden to enter the valley of the Serpentine,
and the Serpentine were forbidden from human lands.
But one wilful child disobeyed the law.
A boy went among the Serpentine and was caught.
He would have been punished,
but he was rescued by a Serpentine girl.
The girl and the boy became friends.
But the boy was evil and corrupted the Serpentine girl.
He turned her against her own king
and was betrayed by the boy.
Hey...
Does that look familiar to anyone?
That's the scroll Aspheera stole from the museum.
It is the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu.
Oh, boy. I think I just realized
who the Treacherous Deceiver is.
-Who? -Yeah, spit it out.
Ugh, think about it.
Who is, like, super, super, super old,
and is treacherous enough to befriend a snake
and then betray her?
Garmadon.
There's an evil Serpentine sorceress called Aspheera
-attacking the city. -Aspheera?
Yeah, Garmadon betrayed her and locked her in a pyramid
for a thousand years.
And she is ticked off.
She's not gonna stop until she finds him.
She is not looking for Garmadon.
She is looking... for me.
