   Summary

   Jay unlocks his True Potential, but it fails to reverse the effects of the Fangpyre venom. Now, the Ninja of Lightning is stuck as a half-human, half-Serpentine! AU of the episode "Once Bitten, Twice Shy," continuing throughout the Ninjago series.

   FIRST UPLOADED on FF.net in 2013 but back by popular request! :) NO LONGER DISCONTINUED.
