"And so it turns out this Vex guy is actually from our realm, not only is he the previous master of ice but wants Zane dead just so he could reclaim his own element he gave away anyways!" Jay gasped as he finished recapping the entire fanfic in just under ten minutes. "Now... Do you have anything that can heal a nindroid-dragon thing? If Wu was here he would probably brew up some magic tea he's got hidden away somewhere in the bounty's storage we still haven't emptied out yet."

"Healing teas you say? I might have something similar." Sorla got up, getting out some dried berries, a sweet smelling purple flower and a wooden bucket of seal fat. "It tastes a lot better than it looks, the petals of the Never Realm Restorlette take a few minutes to work but you'll be back on your claws in no time." She cooed to the dragon, stroking his snout. "Unfortunately I cannot do anything to reverse your transformation. But you probably shouldn't change back just yet."

Zane cocked his head, but recalled what Vex had told him days ago. "Dragons are able to fly through realms, I recall using our old dragons to travel to the Underworld all the way back when we first met each other and using their children to fly from the First Realm back to Ninjago. Could I be able to bring us home like this?" He thought as he ate the berries and fat, it was by then he realized he hadn't eaten in decades. He could feel his wings regain their strength already, but he wasn't going to risk trying to fly just yet. "The others won't stand a chance defeating Vex without me, even without his element, he's got that entire army by his side."

Kataru shifted back into his bear form. "I might not speak Dragon, but I know this one is worried for his friends. We better go find Vex." Little did he know the former elemental was closer than any of them thought, as in close enough to send Cole flying right into the door of Sorla's hut. "Ah! I didn't think he'd overpower them this much!" Akita shifted immediately, all she could think of was how hurt Lloyd could be by now.

An army of Blizzard Samurai were right on the outskirts of the village, Vex up front with his usual shard of black ice in hand. "You can't hide from me, Zane. I want my element back and none of your friends will be able to stop me!" He snarled, he then ordered his archers to shoot at anyone in sight. "If you want those precious ninja to survive, come quietly. It won't hurt, I'll just reclaim what is mine. Who knows? It just might change you back to your old self."

Of course the former elemental wasn't expecting Zane to be back at his full strength, the dragon lunged right at him. The frozen samurai stood their ground, only to be shattered by a single tail whip. Zane growled as he stomped right up to Vex, frost blowing out of his nostrils. "So, you want my ice? Take it all!" Taking a giant breath, Zane shot out the strongest ice blast possible. "For years, you controlled me, now recieve justice!"

The ninja just stood back, they had never seen their sweet nindroid this angry before, not even after being tortured by Chen back when he was rebuilt. The former elemental was encased in a block of ice, a permanent look of pure horror on his face. "I would have impaled you, I could have torn you to pieces, I would have swallowed you whole like many others who could no longer control their beast. But I will keep you alive, only so you can thaw yourself out in Kryptarium." Zane stumbled over, releasing all that anger also took a lot out of him physically. "I.. I could use more berries right about now."

All that was left to do now is release everyone the dragon froze, with Kai's element returning and Lloyd's new dragon form it didn't take long. The fire ninja would send flames into the air while the green ninja would use his now grown wings to send them down onto the black ice (using a bit of his own element for good measure). Zane stood back as everyone was thawed, not knowing what they would do to him. "Don't be afraid, Zane. Your friends will explain everything, as for the remaining ice creations. They once were under Vex's command, but now they will respond to you." Sorla explained, stroking one of his wings.

"Me?" He thought. There was no use for them now that he reunited with his team and Vex was no longer the tyrant of this realm, especially the Ice Emperor himself. The dragon commanded the ice creations to stand in front of him, inhaling the ice back into his system.

"Well now that that's taken care of, how about we go home? I'm FREEZING!!" Jay screamed.
