[ominous music]
[grunts]
Zane?
[Lloyd] I... I don't understand.
How is this possible?
[Ice Emperor] What did you call me?
Zane. Your name is Zane.
Don't you remember?
Step back.
You are addressing the Ice Emperor.
I came here for you, Zane.
I came here to bring you home.
[Ice Emperor] This is my home.
No. Ninjago is your home.
Nin... jago?
Think, Zane. Try to remember.
We were all together.
We were fighting Aspheera, and...
and she banished you with her staff.
Don't listen to him. He lies.
[Lloyd] It's the truth.
Zane, you have to remember something.
Or someone.
Master Wu, or Pixal, or... or... Kai?
Who?
Kai.
Remember when I threw his reds in with your whites
and all your clothes turned pink?
And you had to dress up as the pink ninja?
Remember?
No.
He seeks to deceive you. To confuse you.
Let me deal with him, my Lord.
[ominous music]
You were holding the Scroll
of Forbidden Spinjitzu when it happened.
[Lloyd] It... it must have corrupted you somehow.
How long have you been here, Zane?
How long have you been holding that?
Many decades.
Decades?
[sighs] Time must be different here.
I don't understand how, but... but, Zane,
the scroll has corrupted you, corrupted your power.
You have to put it down.
He seeks the sceptre.
Don't listen to him, Zane.
[Lloyd] This isn't you. You're a good person.
You're my friend. You have to trust me.
Put it down.
See? He desires it for himself.
Seize him!
No!
[grunting]
[weapons clattering]
Behold his treachery.
One moment he speaks of friendship,
and the next, he tries to steal your sceptre.
Allow me to destroy him, my Lord.
Lock him in the dungeon.
But, my Lord--
You heard me.
You heard the Emperor. To the dungeon with him.
[groans]
Krag? What's wrong?
I think he smells something.
-Like what? -[wolves snarl]
[Jay] Oh, not these guys again.
[grunts, growls]
Krag, don't. There's too many.
-What do we do? -Stay calm.
Do exactly what I do.
On three.
[Jay] One.
Two.
Three!
[panting]
[wolves snarling]
-[panting] -That was your whole plan?
[pants] Where are we even running?
[pants] There, look.
[gasps] The Land Bounty.
Hah. Not this time, guys.
[beeps]
[button beeping rapidly]
Zap it.
[energy crackles]
[wolves whine, bark]
[all sigh]
That won't scare them off for long.
Then we better get this tub of bolts working again.
Fast.
[groaning]
[Kataru] Are you awake, my friend?
Yes. Who are you?
[Kataru] A prisoner. Like you.
-What is your name? -Lloyd.
Welcome to the Ice Emperor's dungeon, Lloyd.
I am Kataru.
Kataru? Akita's brother? The bear?
How do you know that?
[Lloyd] She told me. She told me all about you.
My sister is gone.
She was frozen, along with the rest of my people,
by the Emperor's Ice Dragon.
No, no, she's alive.
We came across the ice together.
Do you swear it?
Do you swear she is alive?
Yes. She's alive.
Actually, she thought you were dead.
She thought the Dragon took you.
Boreal. It did. But it didn't destroy me.
It brought me here, a prize for its master.
How long have you been here?
I... I do not know.
I made marks at first,
to keep track of the days and months.
But after a while, I gave up.
There is no escape from this place.
There's always a way.
[clapping] Oh, that's the spirit.
So hopeful, so confident.
[Vex] But, alas, there are a few troubling details
you don't know.
Such as the shackles around your hands.
They are made of corrupted ice.
If they can prevent a Formling from changing shape,
then I think they can also contain your powers.
You coward! You liar!
I don't know how you tricked Zane into believing you,
but he'll see through you eventually.
He'll see what you are.
What I am?
I'm his trusted advisor.
While you are nothing but a traitor and a rebel spy.
And sooner or later, I will deal with you
as I deal with all who stand in my way.
[laughs]
I am sorry, my friend.
I wish I could give you some hope,
but there is none in this place.
There's always hope.
Akita's still out there, and my friends are out there.
And if I know one thing, it's that Ninja never quit.
They never give up. Ever.
Maybe we should just give up.
Hmm?
I mean, Nya's good at fixing things,
but this is ridiculous.
This vehicle is a goner.
[ratchet cranking]
[Nya] Okay, try it again.
-[energy surges, sputters] -[Jay groans]
Whatever you're doing, I think you're getting warmer.
-[computer chimes] -Definitely warmer.
It lit up that time.
[Nya] Okay, good.
I think I got it now. Try it again.
Whoa! Ah!
Colder. Much colder.
Really? Okay, okay, I'm going to reverse it,
negative to positive, positive to negative,
-and let's get this out of here. -[objects clatter]
Uh. Don't we need that?
Yeah. Are you sure you should be ripping things out like that?
[Nya] If you think you can do better,
you're welcome to give it a try.
Nope. You're doing great.
[Krag sniffs, grunts]
What? What's wrong? You smell something?
[wolves snarling]
Oh, no.
Guys?
Guys, we got a problem. They're back.
[beeps]
Oh, great. Nya, whatever you're doing, do it faster.
And let's get rid of this.
I don't even know what that does.
Oh, those, probably just the brakes.
-Who needs those? -Try it now.
[energy surges, sputters]
-[groans] -[sighs]
[growling]
[tense music]
-[growls] -[whimpers]
[roars]
[wolf whimpers]
[snarling]
[Cole] Krag!
This is not good. Not good.
-[growls] -[gasps]
Nya, Cole is right for once.
Hey.
Come on, you piece of junk.
Why won't you just start?
[chimes]
Krag, get in. Go. Go!
-[wolf whimpers] -[sighs]
[grunts] Hold on, everyone.
We're getting outta here.
[engine revs]
-[all cheer] -Yes!
[chain rattles]
[ominous music]
[grunts]
[Kataru] Save your strength, my friend.
Ten of you couldn't break those chains.
There has to be something we can do.
The only way out of this dungeon is if someone lets us out.
And I do not see that happening any time soon.
[lock clicks]
You. What are you doing here?
I'm considering doing something foolish.
I'm considering helping you.
[Brimfax] But I want to know something first.
Is it true what you said?
That the Emperor was once a good man?
[Lloyd] Yes.
And you think you can awaken him?
If I can get that sceptre away from him, yes.
He'll remember. I know he will.
[lock clicks]
I hope you are right.
Because I'm coming over to your side.
Welcome to the resistance.
