"Whoa, Frosty was right!" Kai said, pointing at a large treehouse. "We need to destroy that thing before it becomes fully operational."

"No one leaves until they go through me!" Cole shouted, his eyes red and swirly. A flutey sound reached his ears.

"What happened?" he asked when his eyes returned to their normal green.

Jade jumped off Flame into the large fire. "They took Sammy," she said.

"Zane! Come back!" she shouted.

"I promise, we will find your family," Jade told Zane. He and Sensei Wu ran toward an abandoned ship in the desert.

"I need your help. Actually, no. Sammy needs your help. Follow me," Lloyd told Jade. She bit her lip.

"Okay. Take me to Sammy," she said.

Lloyd leads me to the mountain I saw in my dream. "This is where the Hypnobrai are. I can't go in, I've been banished," he says.

"I wonder why?" I say sarcastically.

"They got a new general who doesn't like me." Lloyd says.

Oh.

"Should I tell the ninjas where you are, so they won't get worried?"

"No, that's okay. I'll be fine, and they know it. I'm actually the best in the group," I say. I step into the giant slide, landing in a cage made out of ice!

"What the Underworld?!" I shout. The sound reverberates around the ice. I pull out my Knives of LW and set the little dials to Light. I use them as sort of torch, lighting the dark cavern.

Lloyd slides down the massive pit, a ginormous grin on his face. "Skales! I got the girl ninja you wanted!" he shouts. "Now let him go!"

"You tricked me!" I shout.

"What did you expect? I'm the evil son of the super evil Lord Garmadon!" Lloyd says.

A large blue Serpentine slithers out of the shadows. "Exssellent job, little one. Here isss your little friend." He thrusts my little brother at Lloyd.

"Sammy!" I shout, rattling the bars of the cage.

"Jade!" He runs up to the cage.

"Sammy, there isn't much time. Go find the ninjas and get help. They're in an old ship in the desert." I whisper. He nods and runs out of the cavern.

"What do you want, Skales?" I demand.

"You will find the anssswer to that tomorrow." Skales slithers back into his shadows.

I start hacking at the ice with my Knives. I get all the way through a bar and the entire thing comes crashing down. I blast some air upward to muffle the sound. I leap out of the rubble and run after Sammy and Lloyd. Someone needs to look after them.

I find them soon enough, going down the mountain. "Lloyd, you turd, you tricked me!" I call.

Sammy turns around. "Jade, you escaped!" he says.

"Gee, you think?" I say, running forward and giving him a hug. "How 'bout we find the ninjas, huh?"

"No! We can't!" Lloyd shouts.

"Well, Sammy and I are going. Right, Sammy?" I say. He hesitates.

"I want to stay with Lloyd."
