Synopsis

The story of Zane's arrival in the Never-Realm and how he fell under the sway of the villainous Vex.

Plot

After casting himself out of the Formlings, Vex wanders away and finds a castle. He observes the warriors coming out of the castle in formation, but not for long before he gets captured by them. They take him to their ruler and report him. Vex tries to trick Grimfax into replacing his adviser and helping him destroy the Formlings. When Grimfax hears this, he realizes this is Vex and lets him know that he knows his stories. Grimfax then turns him away and Vex swears that he will have his revenge on them all.

Vex travels through the forest, looking for food. He tries to steal fish from the Great Lake, catch a chicken, and pick berries, but fails, running into many obstacles. Eventually, he sleeps uncomfortably on a ledge, but wakes up when he hears a portal opening up. It opens up several times, dropping out one of the Monastery's defense systems, parts of the Titan Mech, Zane, and the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu. When Zane falls out of the Divide, Vex chooses to hide and watch him closely, rather than helping him, even when Zane calls out.

Vex watches Zane fix the mech and is amazed when he sees Zane's power. He laughs evilly and follows him throughout the realm. He soon watches in amazement when Zane uses the scroll to a Giant Eagle and create the Ice Cave. After Zane fixes up what he can with the mech, he records himself for someone to find one day. Zane then starts up the mech diagnostic, while Vex tries to steal the scroll and use it to destroy Zane with the scroll first. Unfortunately, Vex can't use it (as he lacks an elemental power) but having overheard the results of a failed diagnostic and rips out the cable from Zane. Zane immediately reboots and all of his memories are wiped out.

Subsequently, Zane awakes and Vex tricks Zane into thinking he lives in the Never-Realm, his identity is the Ice Emperor, and that he is his adviser. He persuades Zane into taking his staff and to take back what is "rightfully his". They crash into Grimfax's castle and after a quick battle, Zane converts Grimfax's warriors into Blizzard Samurai and Vex pressures Grimfax to allying with them or facing the consequences. Taking the throne and new armor, Zane establishes himself as the Ice Emperor, while turning the castle into the Castle of Ice. He sends a wave of Ice throughout the realm to let everyone know the true ruler.
