Eleanor walked the edge of the Great Lake. Lloyd walked up to her.

"Morning Ellie. Could I talk to you?" He asked.

"Sure. What's up?"

"I decided to go after Zane." Lloyd started. "Now that the Ice Emperor know we're here, we have to act fast."

"But the Ice Emperor sent his army here." Eleanor frowned.

"I know. But if we don't act fast, the Ice Emperor might try to hurt Zane for information about us. And plus, he might send his men back here."

"Then I'm going with you!" Eleanor exclaimed, determined. "Lloyd, please." She begged.

"Ok. But only you, the others have to stay here just in case."

"Ugh! Stubborn piece of ice!" Nya's angered voice is heard. Lloyd and Eleanor turn to see Nya kicking a building and a good amount of snow falls on her head. "That's it! I hate this place! And I hate this … this place! And I hate!"-

"Nya?" Lloyd walked over to her, surprising Nya.

"Are you ok?" Eleanor asked as she walked up to Lloyd's side.

The water Ninja stopped her tantrum, facing her friends. "I … it's nothing." She tried to deny. "I just feel … useless without my power."

"You're not useless!" Lloyd argued. "In fact that's what I wanted to ask you."

"Ask me what?" Nya asked, dusting the snow off her.

"I need you to protect the village with the others, in case those Ice Samurai come back." Lloyd told her.

"What about you?" The water Ninja asked.

"I'm going after Zane." The blonde answered.

"I hope you don't think you're going alone. We're coming with you." Nya replied.

"No. I thought about this. Ellie is coming with me. And there's only two ways into that castle. By force and by stealth, and force won't work. You've seen how powerful the Ice Emperor is." Lloyd explained, he then noticed the others behind Nya. Cole is pushing the hammock with Jay, William and Kai in it.

"So we sneak in, like the crafty Ninja we are." Nya said and turns to see the hammock knocking Cole backwards a foot way, Kai and William falling on their faces and Jay had been thrown into a tree.

Eleanor laughs at that scene.

"Ellie and I have a better chance then seven." Lloyd said. "And the Ice Emperor will be watching the village and not me and Ellie. He'll send more of those Blizzard Samurai here, which is why I need you to stay and protect these people."

"So we draw his attention, while you two sneak in and find Zane!" Nya realized, understanding the plan.

"Exactly." Lloyd nods.

"It's risky, but it could work." Nya said.

"It will work." Lloyd said determined. "Trust me."

"I always have." Nya told him.

As Eleanor prepared herself for the journey, Cole walked up to her.

"You be careful, ok?" He pulled her into his arms, her arms slid around his neck.

"I'll be with Lloyd, and we have a map." She tried to reassure him. "Don't worry, my love."

"How am I suppose to concentrate on keeping this place safe, if I'm too busy worrying about you?"

Eleanor leaned up on her tip toes, kissing him gently. "You'll be fine. Just concentrate on helping this village."

Cole kissed her again. "Well, if you insist on going."

"Oh, I insist." She leans up to kiss him, an they stay like that for awhile.

A clearing of the throat had the two pull away and turn to see Nya, the two pull away from their embrace.

"I'm sorry to interrupt." The water Ninja apologized.

"It's ok." Eleanor said. "What's up?"

"Before you leave … Ellie." Nya began, hesitating. "I wanted to ask about that movie that Kai said he saw you and Will." She trailed off.

"What'd Will say?" Eleanor asked.

"He said that he got a black eye out of it."

Cole folds his arms with a nod. "That's right. I socked him real good."

"I couldn't go through with that movie." Eleanor replied. "Three minutes into the previews and I left."

"You left in tears?" Nya asked.

"Yes. I went crying to Cole."

"That's it?" Nya asked.

"Yeah." Eleanor nods. "Nya. William is crazy about you. In fact, he was driving me crazy as he missed you. I missed Cole just as much. I never want to hurt you and Cole like that. Not to mention jeopardizing my marriage and family."

Nya looks away, guilty. "How am I suppose to fix this?"

"Go back into shape." Cole answered simply. "That's what I've been doing." He suggested. "And of course." He wraps his arm around Eleanor, pulling her close. "Paying more attention to Will will be a big help too."

"The big thing is to talk to him without Kai around, eavesdropping." Eleanor added. "Then talk to Kai."

A little bit later, the village, along with the Ninja are standing by the gate to say their goodbye.

"At least take this with you." Jay said, giving the tracker to Lloyd. "Remember, it's keyed to the mech, so if you get close enough, it should start beeping."

Lloyd nods. "Thanks." He takes the tracker.

Jay then holds up two fish. "And you'll need these!" He hands one to Eleanor, who tries not to make a face so she shoves hers into Lloyd's hands.

"What's that?" Lloyd asked, looking at the fish on the stick.

"Dried fish! Not as bad a it sounds. Kind of like beef jerky actually." Jay replied.

"You want me to light it for you?" Kai asked as he summoned his fire, Cole gave him an annoyed look while Nya glares at her brother.

"No thanks, we'll save it for later." Lloyd put the two fish in his bag.

"Oh, good. Cause I'm actually kind of wiped. My powers aren't fully back yet." Kai shook his hand and his fire faded.

"Be careful out there." Cole walks up to Eleanor to kiss her quickly.

"Sweetheart we have a map, and the tracker." Eleanor told him. "We'll be fine."

Eleanor, and Lloyd hug each of their friends before they head out for their journey.

Inside the Ice Emperor's castle, Vex watches as Lloyd and Eleanor leave the village. Knowing where the two are heading, he lowers his ice crystal and makes his way to the only prisoner they have.

"You will be pleased to know that you may soon have some company." Vex told the prisoner in the dark cell. "Strangers from another realm. One clad in all yellow and the other clad in all green."

The prisoner lifted his head in interest at this.

"Whoever they are, they will of course, fail, as all who stand against the Emperor do. But, if you join us, perhaps his life could be spared. A warrior with your abilities, could prove most valuable." Vex said as he slid a tray of food over to the prisoner. "The Emperor rewards those he values. What say you."-

With anger, the prisoner throws the tray of food at Vex, sadly the cell door protected the ugly man.

"Stubborn to the end." Vex said. "So be it. The yellow and green ones will perish."

That night. Eleanor and Lloyd walked through the woods, the same woods that they had traveled through when they first came to this realm. They pause to check the map, thinking he hears something, Lloyd turns around but doesn't see anything, the two continue to walk.

The two continue down a path. The two stop when they hear a familiar noise.

"Oh no!" Eleanor cried as two wolves came running at them. Lloyd pushes her behind him as he pulls out his sword and prepares himself, Eleanor screamed when one of the wolves tries to pounce, another wolf leaps out from out of nowhere to tackle the wolf, scaring both wolves off.

Eleanor falls to her knees in relief, then notices the third wolf. "Oh, what a pretty wolf." She smiles as she takes in the red markings on the wolf's face and the three tails.

The wolf looked friendly compared to the other wolves.

"Huh. Wow." Lloyd takes in the three tails on the wolf, each tail had a red tip. "I've never seen a wolf like that one before." He helps Eleanor stand. "How about you, Ellie?"

"I'm a city girl." She simply answered.

The wolf growled at them.

"What do you want?" Lloyd asked.

"It probably wants a rewards." Eleanor said, turning to Lloyd. "Give it the fish."

The blonde nods as he reaches into his bag and pulls out the two fish. "Here. You can have those, ok? Truce?"

As the wolf sniffed the fish, Lloyd turns back around to pull the map back out. He and Eleanor continued down the path.

"This is it." Eleanor said, pointing to a spot on the map. "We made it."

"Mala-Wojira." Lloyd said. "'If you make a sound, Wojira's wrath will strike you down.'" He then whispered. "Ellie, we cannot make a sound. Stealth mode from here on out."

She nods, and the two start to walk carefully through the pass, which looked more like a gorge. The two make their way through the pass easily, until a sneeze from Lloyd out of nowhere, causing a bunch of snow to block the entrance.

"Sorry." Lloyd mouthed to Eleanor, who nods. Lloyd uses his powers to light the way, only to see five Blizzard Samurai in front of them. Summoning his power with his other hand, Lloyd shoots at two warriors, knocking them down, two other warriors tried to tackle him and Eleanor, Eleanor summoned up a crystal and shot it at the warrior, knocking him down. Lloyd pulls out his sword, but a Samurai grabbed his arm, cause him to drop it. Eleanor was grabbed from behind and is easily thrown to the snow and a foot is slammed onto her stomach at the same time Lloyd is pinned to the snow.

Eleanor grabs the Samurai's foot and tries to shove him off.

"Wojira's wrath." Lloyd suddenly said, making her look at him.

"What?"

"Ellie! Make a noise! Any noise!" Lloyd told her.

"You have everyone's element!" She reminds as she struggles with the boot on her stomach. "Shoot Kai's fire at the top of the gorge!"

"It's too far up." Lloyd looks up at the gorge, then an idea hits him. "WORJIRA'S WRATH!" He screamed.

"Lloyd! Have you lost it?!" Eleanor yells at him as his voice rings out, and within seconds an avalanche comes falling down.

"Come on!" Lloyd grabs her hand and the two run as fast as they could, but it was too late. The avalanche soon buries the whole entire pass, along with everything in it.

XxXxXxXx

A lot later, Eleanor awoke coughing. She slowly picks herself up and looks around. "The Land Bounty?" She whispered, taking in the mess. "Wow, looks like Jay's room in the Monastery." She said, louder this time.

Hearing her, Lloyd turns from the controls. "Ellie!" He smiles, hurrying over to her and hugging her. "You're ok!"

"Yeah." She frowns. "The Land Bounty? How did we find it?"

Lloyd grabs a blanket and gently drapes it over her. "When we came to this realm, and the Land Bounty crashed." He started, as the wolf plops down near them by the lantern. "Well, when the Land Bounty tipped over the edge of the cliff, it must've fell next to Wojira's Wrath." He explained, or tried to explain, it made since to him.

Eleanor looks down at her wedding ring, then looks at the wolf. She reaches over to let the wolf sniff her hand, then petted the animal. "You saved us, thank you."

"You know Ellie, the wolf is the ancestor to dogs." Lloyd said.

"I know." She nods. "But somehow, I'm not afraid of this one."

Lloyd sighed. "Tomorrow, we go back to the village and make a new plan." He decides.

Eleanor lays down on her right side and looks at her ring before slowly starting to fall asleep, for her - it was hard to sleep without Cole's chainsaw snoring next to her, she had gotten use to that and now it was normal.

Soon, not long after all of them had fallen asleep, a beeping is heard, waking them.

"Huh?" Lloyd blinks, then gasps when he looks over at the tracker.

"The Titan Mech!" Eleanor smiles. "Zane!"

"With this working again, we have a chance to find the Ice Emperor!" Lloyd smiled, looking at her, then looks at their new friend. "What do you say? You in?"

The wolf bark excitedly as it stood up.

"Awesome!" Lloyd exclaimed. "Hang on, Zane! Here we come!"

"We're bringing you home, Zane." Eleanor added.
