Realizing misty probably wouldn't be speaking to him anymore Lloyd had taken to talking to Red again. "And they call themselves the "Sons of Garmadon." And they had this creepy symbol that looked like my father. As soon as I saw it, I knew it. Here we go again." Lloyd said

Misty was leaning against the wolf's side and she saw the wolf Red facepalm herself. Misty let out an understanding sigh and said, "I'd offer you some crystal ear plugs but I don't think they'd work for you,"

The wolf let out a snort and rested her head on her paws as Lloyd continued.

" 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," Lloyd sighed and said, "Just my life." Red then spotted storm clouds after thunder had started rumbling, and barked "Those don't look good. What do you say we pick up the pace?" Lloyd said Red barked, agreeing. They head off for the Castle of Ice.

Lloyd continued to tell Red about his adventures and said, "So then, there's this huge stone Colossus, and I'm thinking, "What am I supposed to do? There's no Spinjitzu move for this."

Red facepalmed again. And Lloyd continued and said, "And, I mean we all came together and took it down, but, oh boy, it wasn't easy." He then stopped the mech and had it kneel and said, "Wait" He jumped off to take a closer look at the ice."What is that? This doesn't look like normal ice!"

Misty removed her crystal earplugs and she saw Lloyd reach out to touch them but Red barked a warning, "Yeah, maybe not a good idea. Wow. There's more of it. It's everywhere. We better keep moving." Lloyd said as thundered started rumbling, and added "We're going to have to find shelter if this thing gets any worse," Just then Lightning struck and ice spiked out, heading for them. "Ice is definitely not supposed to do that." Misty let out a scream as she saw a creature start to form behind the ice and Red growled.

The creature swung at the mech but Lloyd just managed to dodge and Misty tumbled off the Mech's hand Red just managed to catch the back of the girl's robes in her jaws and she jumped up to the mech's shoulder Misty still dangling from the wolf's jaws, as Lloyd pulled out the Titan Mech's sword.

The creature then pushed Lloyd back. Red jumped off and let Misty go, Lloyd swung at the creature and managed to cut off its arm, and the stones crumble to the ground, but the creature then attracted its arm back to it using electricity.

Lloyd groaned and said, "Oh, no" the creature then knocked Lloyd and the mech off the side of the mountain, "Lloyd!" Misty screamed She rushed to the edge of the mountain and started picking her way down. When the wolf ran behind her and threw her onto its back. And the both of them race down the mountain to where the mech lay.

Misty scrambled off the wolf's back and crawled into the mech knelt beside where Lloyd lying "Lloyd! Lloyd! It's getting up!" she cried as he saw the creature recovering. She readied her element and prepared to fight. Lloyd's eyes flew open and he gasped and the mech surged up and to its feet. "Hang on tight to me Misty this is going to be rough!" Misty hung on tightly to Lloyd's arm and the creature grabbed the mech's hand and started freezing the hand of the mech," And on the screen, it showed a warning. Red managed to distract the creature in time for Lloyd to land a punch on it. Lloyd tried striking the creature with the sword but it was knocked from the mech's hand. And the creature was pushing back against the mech and Red was at its feet barking When the creature kicked Red. Misty jumped from the mech and rushed to where the wolf now lay. She bent down beside it as the creature approached her and the wolf. She looked up and saw it was closing in on them. Just as it brought its foot down on the top, Misty created a crystal shield. The creature tried smashing through it but she continued to hold the shield strong. She cried out as the shield started cracking.

"Hey! Get away from them! Pick on someone your own size! The creature turned back to Lloyd and his mech and Lloyd said, "Actually, you're bigger, but you know what I mean." Lloyd tried to again but it was no use and the creature just recollected its limbs again. And Lloyd shouted, "How many times do I have to beat you!? Before you start to feel it?" Lloyd cut the ice forcing the creature to break through and sink below the water. He then turned back and found Misty doing her best to tend to the injured wolf.

"They're alive," Misty said Lloyd then made the mech bend down to protect the three of them from the snow and weather and brought a lantern down. He handed the bandage to Misty and she bandaged Red's paw. The three of them curled up and fell asleep. Misty was curled against Lloyd's back and she was startled awake when she heard Lloyd shout, "Who are you? where's Red?" She got to her feet to see a girl with black hair dressed in white and red robes. On her head was a wolf hat and cape with tails.

Misty noticed that the girl had a bandage wrapped around her leg, "That's the bandage I placed on Red," Misty murmured

The girl looked up and Misty saw she had fangs and red marks on her face. "You're Red? You're a wolf? I mean, a girl?"

"I...I can explain," The girl said she had a strange accent.

"I'd like to see you try!" Lloyd shouted and he pushed Misty behind him just in case. "I am Akita, a Formling," the girl said

"A shape-Shifter?" Lloyd said

"That's amazing," Misty marveled Lloyd scowled and said, "You're missing the point All this time she was tricking us! Not only that but she just let me tell her those things! She let me go on and on thinking you were just a wolf!"

Misty scoffed hearing this and rolled her eyes and said, "You didn't have to tell her all that stuff," Akita then said, "I did not know if you could be trusted,"

"You didn't know if I could be trusted?" Lloyd let out a bitter laugh and said, "That's rich, considering you're the one who can't be trusted!"

"I meant no harm." Akita said

"Well, too late. Harm done. I can't believe all the things I told you! About my father, and... and Harumi, and..." Lloyd seemed on the verge of hysterics and Misty muttered, "Oh she also got to witness the breakdown of our relationship don't forget that,"

Akita then said, "Your friend is right I never asked for your life story. It is not my fault you talk so much! Like sooo much!"

"So much? At least I'm honest, I don't pretend to be something else!" Lloyd shouted

"Are you calling me a lair?" Akita growled

"Maybe I am," Lloyd challenged

"Take it back,"

"No,"

"I saved your life! You should be grateful!" Akita shouted

"And I saved yours so we're even! Now, stay away from me! I only travel with people I trust." Lloyd said and he grabbed Misty's wrist and dragged her back to the mech.

"Do I get a say in this!" Misty shouted but she was dragged off by Lloyd nonetheless.

"Fine. You too. Stay away from me!" Akita shouted

"Fine!" Lloyd shouted and he entered the mech and walked off. Akita changed back into wolf form and ran alongside the mech.

"Hey, what are you doing? I told you not to follow me!" Lloyd shouted

Akita transformed back into her human form and stood before Lloyd. "I am not yours to command! I go the way I wish to go! And that is this way!"

"That's the way I'm going. Why are you going this way?" Lloyd asked

"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?" Akita asked

Hearing this Misty burst into a fit of laughter and she clung onto the back of Lloyd's seat to keep from falling over.

Lloyd was stunned and he retorted "Oh, what are you going to do? Fetch his slippers?"

"You know I can turn back into a wolf anytime, right? And bite you?" Akita growled

"Maybe you'll get lucky and he's allergic to pets." Lloyd scoffed

"Leave me alone!" Akita shouted and She transformed back into a wolf and ran off for the Castle of Ice.

"You leave me alone!" Lloyd shouted and he ran past her until she whimpered. "You shouldn't run on that. You're still hurt." Lloyd said and he exited the mech. Misty hopped out and walked over and bent down to rewrap Akita's bandage this time she was human.

"I am sorry I deceived both of you," Akita said

"I'm sorry, too," Lloyd said

Misty shrugged and said, "I'm not all that fussed,"

"You told me everything about yourself and I... told you nothing. I will share my tale with you if you will still hear it." Lloyd nodded his head.
