[Lloyd] "Secret of the Wolf."

[Lloyd]
And they called themselves

the Sons of Garmadon,

and they had this creepy symbol
that looked like my father.

As soon as I saw it, I knew.

-Here we go again.
-[groans]

I just have the worst luck.

There was this girl
named Harumi,

and I really thought
she liked me.

But I found out
she was just pretending.

She only wanted
to bring my father

back from the Departed Realm
to destroy us.

-[thunder rumbling]
-Uh, just my luck--

[barks]

Those don't look good.

What do you say
we pick up the pace?

[barks]

[ominous music]

Hail, Emperor of Ice.

The legion of Grimfax
returns in triumph.

[Grimfax] Victory is yours.

[Vex applauds]

Hail indeed, brave Grimfax.

Tell us of your great victory,

for you left with
so many more samurai

than you brought back.

It is true,
the battle was fierce.

The villagers have protectors.

Strangers who fight bravely.

But we won in the end.

Did you slay these strangers?

Better,
we snuffed out their fire.

Without it, they are lost.

[Vex] Ah.

Snuffed out their fire, you say?

Then why is it,
when I look through my crystal,

I see it is still burning.

What? Impossible.

You bring news of defeat
and dare to call it victory?

Punish him, my Lord,
for his deceit.

[clatters]

-Wait, please!
-Yes.

Punish him.

[Ice Emperor]
You will atone for this.

[pants]

Yes, Ice Emperor. Thank you.

[Ice Emperor] Now, leave me.

What of the villagers
who defy you?

They plot, even now,
to overthrow you.

[Vex] And the Stranger,
in green,

he grows closer every day.

What of him?

[Ice Emperor] Green?

[Vex] You are plagued
by enemies.

They rise.

You must show strength.

You must put down
these usurpers.

I shall unleash Boreal.

Boreal shall punish the village.

And the Stranger?

[Ice Emperor]
He will meet another fate.

So then, there's
this huge stone Colossus,

and I'm thinking,
what am I supposed to do?

[Lloyd] There's no
Spinjitzu move for this.

And I mean, we all came together

and took it down,
but, oh, boy, it wasn't easy.

Wait.

What is that?

This doesn't look like
normal ice.

[barks]

Yeah, maybe not a good idea.

Wow, there's more of it.
It's everywhere.

We better keep moving.

We're gonna have to find shelter
if this thing gets any worse.

[crackles]

Ice is definitely not
supposed to do that.

[crackling]

[foreboding music]

[growls]

-[groans]
-Do you hear that?

[Lloyd grunts]

[rasps]

[grunts]

[groans]
Oh, no.

-[clanging]
-[gasps, grunts]

[screams]

[dramatic music]

[barking]

[buzzing]

[gasps]

[alarm beeping]

Come on. Come on!

[Red barking]

-[clangs]
-[grunts]

[barks]

[yelps]

[grunting]

Hey!

Get away from him.

Pick on someone your own size.

Actually, you're bigger,
but you know what I mean.

[crackling]

How many times
do I have to b*at you

before you start to feel it?

[grunts]

[sighs]

[blade swishes]

[ice crunches]

[sighs]

[gasps]

[Lloyd] Red!

Red? Red, are you okay, boy?

[sighs]
You're alive.

Just hang on, buddy.

I'll get you warm.

Now you just rest.
We're gonna be okay.

We're gonna be just fine.
I'll take care of you.

[whimpers]

[gasps]

Who are you? Where's Red?

That's the bandage I put on Red.

You're Red? You're a wolf?

I mean, a girl?

I... I can explain.

I'd like to see you try.

I am Akita, a Formling.

A shape-shifter?

All this time,
you were tricking me?

You just let me tell you
all those things?

You let me go on and on,
thinking you were just a wolf?

I did not know
if you could be trusted.

You didn't know
if I could be trusted?

[laughs]
That's rich,

considering you're the one
who can't be trusted.

I meant no harm.

Well, too late. Harm done.

I can't believe
all the things I told you.

About my father,
and... and Harumi, and...

I never asked
for your life story.

It is not my fault
you talk so much.

Like, so much.

So much? At least I'm honest.

I don't pretend
to be something else.

-Are you calling me a liar?
-Maybe I am.

Take it back.

No.

I saved your life!
You should be grateful!

And I saved yours.
So we're even.

Now, stay away from me.

I only travel
with people I trust.

Fine. You too.
Stay away from me!

[Lloyd] Fine.

Hey. What are you doing?

I told you not to follow me.

I am not yours to command.
I go the way I wish to go.

And that is this way.

[Lloyd] That's the way
I'm going.

Why are you going this way?

I am going to face
the Ice Emperor.

Well, that's where I'm going.

To free my friend Zane
from the Ice Emperor.

How? By boring him to death
with stories about Harumi?

Well, what are you gonna do?

[Lloyd] Fetch his slippers?

[Akita] You know I can turn back
into a wolf anytime, right?

And bite you?

Maybe you'll get lucky,
and he's allergic to pets.

Leave me alone!

You leave me alone!

[whines]

[sighs]

You shouldn't run on that.
You're still hurt.

[whimpers]

I am sorry I deceived you.

I'm sorry, too.

You told me everything
about yourself,

and I told you nothing.

I will share my tale with you
if you will still hear it.
