[Zane] "The Message."
[Cole imitating Zane] Put down your staff
and surrender, Aspheera.
Your days of evil are over.
[imitating Aspheera] Never.
I will have my revenge
-if it's the last thing I do. -[gasps]
Take that, Wu.
Zap. Zap.
[imitating Zane] No. Look out, Master Wu.
[imitating Aspheera] Zap. Zap.
[imitating Zane] Aah! Oh, no!
[imitating Jay] Zane is gone!
[in normal voice] What did you do to my friend?
[laughs]
[imitating Aspheera] Take that.
I banished him.
To the one place from which you can never return,
the Never-Realm.
[sighs]
[all crying]
[in normal voice] Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey.
It's okay. Look, it's not real.
It's a story.
It's just paper! I drew them!
What did you tell them, Cole?
Nothing. I was just telling them about Zane.
And Aspheera.
And how she blasted him into the Never-Realm.
You think that story is appropriate for little kids?
Five to 13. Absolutely.
Look. Over here. Come quick.
What is it?
This is Lloyd's.
Where did you find this?
In the snow on the other side of the forest.
There were signs of fighting and an avalanche.
What do you think happened?
You think he's okay?
I hope so.
Because there's nothing we can do from here.
Lloyd is on his own.
[light music]
So, yeah, that's my dad.
Garmadon. Lord of Destruction, King of Shadows.
I wouldn't normally confide this stuff
-to someone I just met. -[sniffing]
But I can tell you.
You're just a wolf.
-[sniffs] -[laughs]
It's kinda nice to be able
to get this off my chest, actually.
Hmm, but I can't keep calling you "wolf."
You ought to have a real name.
Hmm. How about Rover?
[whines, barks]
Uh, don't like that, huh?
How about, uh, Buster?
Buddy? No, those don't fit.
What about "Red?" You get it?
'Cause, you know, this.
[barks]
We're making progress, Red.
-[whines] -[tracker beeping]
[Lloyd] The mech's signal is getting stronger.
This way.
[sighs] We're getting close, Red.
[whines]
[barks]
-[whines] -[Lloyd] What's the matter?
Look, I've got to go this way.
You coming or not?
[barks]
Come on, please.
[barks]
[tracker continues beeping]
-[crunches] -[whines]
-[barks] -What is it?
[growls]
[gasps] Bones?
What happened here?
[gasps] What was that?
[bird screeching]
Run!
-[panting] -[barking]
Red!
-You all right? -[bird screeching]
[panting]
[grunting]
Aah! No!
Get off me!
[barking]
-[bird screams] -Aah!
[Lloyd] Red!
[barks]
There. A cave.
[bird screeches]
[pants]
[barks]
[yells, grunts]
[barks]
[screeching]
[sighs]
-[static crackles] -[Lloyd] Oh, no.
[growling and barks]
What's there, Red?
[sniffs]
Who are you?
-Show yourself. -[growling]
[laughs] It's okay.
This is what I've been looking for. This is it.
Zane.
Zane?
Where are you?
[ominous music]
[crackles]
[static crackling]
Zane?
Greetings, friend.
If you've found this recording,
then I am no longer here.
-[Zane] My name is Zane. -[whimpering]
I am a stranger in this land, trying to find my way home.
[sighs] It is difficult to keep track
of the days in this place.
It feels like I've been here a long time.
-But I refuse to give up hope-- -[static]
[Lloyd gasps] No! No, no, no.
The mech's processing unit is damaged.
I may be able to fix it,
but it requires running a diagnostic.
I will attempt to connect myself to the mech's processor.
As long as the cable is not disconnected,
I should be okay.
Come on...
But if anything goes wrong...
If this should be found one day,
please relay this message.
This is the last recording of Zane, Master of Ice,
son of Dr Julien, student of Master Wu.
I was built to protect those who cannot protect themselves,
and I have tried to fulfil this purpose.
-I have no regrets. -[children laughing]
I had the best friends anyone could ask for.
Pixal... I love you.
[sighs]
Farewell.
Zane?
[whines]
I may not be half the builder you are, Zane,
but I'm twice as stubborn.
And I will get this thing working,
if it's the last thing I do.
That's a promise.
Right? You with me?
[whines]
Yeah.
[suspenseful music]
[sighs] Come on, come on...
Battery's dead.
No wonder he couldn't fix it.
I wonder...
[exhales] Here goes nothing.
[barks]
[sighs]
[mech beeping]
[growls]
Yes! Did it!
[growls]
[screeches]
You want some of me?
[Lloyd] Come and get it, you overgrown parakeet.
[screeches]
[squawks]
[grunts] Oh, no, you don't.
I'm trying hard not to hurt you, but I hope this stings a bit.
[screeches]
[whines]
[Lloyd sighs] Is it sinking in yet?
I am not your next meal.
[sighs]
[bird screams in the distance]
-[sniffs] -[Lloyd] It's safe.
You can come out.
Come on. Hop aboard.
It won't hurt you, I promise.
We'll be able to move a lot faster this way.
Come on.
[sniffs]
Ready, pal? Here we go.
[barks]
[Lloyd] We're coming, Zane.
We're coming.
