Chapter 117: The Message

(Cole is telling the story of how Aspheera banished Zane to the Never-Realm, using his paper drawings on sticks, to four children in the Great Lake. )

Cole: (As Zane.) Put down the staff and surrender, Aspheera. Your days of evil are over. (As Aspheera.) Never! I will have my revenge if it's the last thing I do!

Child: (Gasps.)

Cole: Take that, Wu! Zap! Zap! (Drops Wu's stick. As Zane.) No! Look out, Master Wu! (As Aspheera.) Zap! Zap! Ahh! (Cole clashes Zane and Aspheera's sticks until Zane's sticks snaps in half.) Oh, no! (Picks up Nya's stick.) Zane is gone! (Picks up Crystal's stick) Zane! (Picks up his stick.) What did you do to my friend? (As Aspheera, cackling. The children cower together as the story gets more intense.) Take that! I banished him to the one place from which you can never return. The Never-Realm! 

(One of them faints while the rest start crying and run away.) 

Cole: Wait! W-W-W-Woah! Hey! Wait, it's okay, look, it's not real, it's just a story! (The fainted child gets up and runs away. Cole chases after the children, while Kai, Nya, Crystal, and Jay are working outside.) It's just paper! I drew them! 

(The children run to Crystal)

Child #1: Miss. Ninja! Mr. Ninja told us a really scary story!

Child #2, #3, and #4: Yea!

Crystal: Ok, why don't we calm down and take a deep breath. (The children take deep breaths)

Kai: What did you tell them, Cole?

Cole: Nothing! I was just telling them about Zane and Aspheera, and how she blasted him into the Never-Realm.

Nya: You think that story is appropriate for little kids?

Cole: Five to thirteen? Absolutely. (To the kids) Look kids, it's just a sto-

Kids: (Run away screaming) 

Kid #3: I don't want to hear the scary story!

(Cole throws the broken Zane stick on the ground and scratches his head.)

Crystal: Yea, I don't think they liked the story.

Jay: Look's like all the kids are scared of you now. 

Cole: (Groans)

Uthaug: Look! Over here! Come quick! (The Ninja, Sorla, and several other Ice Fishers run over to see what is wrong.)

Bome: What is it? (Uthaug pulls out a green piece of cloth from Lloyd's gi.)

Kai: What's that?

Crystal: (Takes the fabric and examines it.) This is Lloyd's!

Cole: Where did you find this?

Uthaug: In the snow, on the other side of the forest. There were signs of fighting and an avalanche.

Kai: What do you think happened?

Jay: You think he's okay?

Nya: I hope so, because there's nothing we can do from here.

(Lloyd and the wolf are following the tracker's signal to find Zane and the Titan Mech.)

Lloyd: (Tells the wolf about his dad.) 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, but I can tell you. You're just a wolf. (Chuckles.) Haha. It's kinda nice to be able to get this off my chest actually. But I can't keep calling you 'Wolf'. You ought to have a real name. Hmm. How about Rover?
