Salem, Shadow and Crystal: (We follow you)

(In Serpentine's lair)

Venom, Viper and Fang: (finally regenerate and are in front of Serpentine)

Serpentine: You didn't bring him back. Did you even try to fight?

Viper: I found him and caught him! But that Phoenix stopped me.

Venom: (hits her) I thought we were supposed to do it secretly.

Viper: (hisses at him) How were we supposed to do it secretly?! They were all looking out for him!

Fang: (spreads the hood on his neck and hisses at both of them) Shut up! What's really important is what we found out. (Looks at Serpentine) Lady Serpentine, when Salem was freed after Viper was killed, a boulder came out from the ground and landed on our tails. And I happen to know now that the same boulder is blocking the entrance you made. What do you think that means?

Serpentine: (her eyes widen) You aren't saying that he's...

Fang: Yes, Salem is an animus. He hid his powers from you.

Serpentine: But, he clearly wasn't when he was four! Unless...hmm...he did hide them from me...(Looks back at them) What else happened when he was freed?

Venom: Well, Viper had the idea that if Phoenix tried to fight us, then I would bite Salem.

Viper: Hey! I didn't want you to actually bite him! The point was to get Phoenix to back off and let us TAKE Salem, not KILL him!

Venom: (hisses) How was I supposed to know that?!

Serpentine: (rolls her eyes) Both of you shut up! Salem is clearly still alive. I know he stole the antidote for your venom. But we have to keep trying. Now that we know what he is truly capable of, he can be of greater use to us.
