(Akita narrates the story of how the Ice Emperor came to the Never-Realm.)

Akita: My land was once peaceful and pristine. But that changed decades ago, when the Ice Emperor imposed his will and corruption upon us and destroyed my people. Now there is no one left to defy him... but I believe one day, someone will stand up against him. I believe heroes still exist.

(The Land Bounty bursts out of the portal and bounces around on the mountains until they come to a stop.)

Ninja: (Screams.) Ahhh! (They land upside down.)

Lloyd: Everyone... okay?

Cole: Unh. Great, now I know how my socks feel in the dryer.

Kai: I think I swallowed my teeth. (The ninja take off their seat belts and jump down. Jay lands on his back, bumping into Kai and knocking him over too.) Whoa! (Blackmagic and Reese's fall on top of Kai) Wow...

Blackmagic: Sorry Kai. (Help him up.)

Kai: (Blush) N–No p–pr–probably ( Lloyd Glance at Kai & Blackmagic)

Jay: Ow. I'm not liking this Realm so far.

Kai: Me... Ugh. Neither.

Nya: (Jumps up and presses the screen for the map.) We're off the map. Coordinates unknown.

Cole: Looks like we made it.

Lloyd: From what Master Wu said, getting here isn't the hard part. It's getting home. The Traveler's Tea? (Cole picks it off the floor.) Good. Whatever happens don't— (The Land Bounty suddenly tilts slightly.)

Jay: What was that? (Lloyd runs to the window to check, and finds they are on the edge of a cliff.)

Lloyd: Oh, no.

Jay: What? What is it? (He walks over to Lloyd.)

Lloyd: No, don't! (The Land Bounty starts tilting over the edge.) Gah!

Nya: We have to get out of here! Now! (She runs off, passing by a screen and presses for the door. She jumps out, with the rest of the ninja following.) Cole!

Kai: Hey! Grab my hand! (Pulls Cole up.) Come on! (They look down to see how far the Bounty fell.)

Jay: (Scoffs.) Worst parking spot ever.

Cole: (Sighs, patting himself.) I thought for a sec. (Gasps.) Oh, no!

Jay: What?

Cole: The Traveler's Tea. (Checks himself again.) It's... It's gone!

Jay: (scoffs.) Well, that's just great! That's awesome! Now we're stuck on a mountain in the middle of a blizzard with no vehicle, no supplies, and no way back!

Kai: Ugh. How could you drop it?

Cole: We nearly fell over a cliff! I had other things on my—

Blackmagic: Guys!

Lloyd: This is not helping! Nya, anything on the tracker?

Nya: (Pulls out the tracker.) Nothing. No signal.

Jay: No. Of course not. That would be too easy. That would give us hope.

Cole: So, what do we do?

Lloyd: We need to get off this mountain before we all freeze to death. (The ninja start making their way down the mountain. They get caught in a blizzard, slowing them down. They throw off their hoods and stare into the woods.)

Jay: Finally! (The ninja continue walking until they reach a forest, shivering.)

Cole: Gah, I'm so c-c-cold. (Kai tries to use his fire power, but it fails.)
