**Previous**"The Absolute Worst"

**The Message** is the twentieth episode of the eleventh season, and 118th overall of *LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu*. It aired in Malaysia on September 7, 2019. The US release date is unknown.

## Synopsis

Back In the Never-Realm Cole was telling the story of Wu and Zane facing Aspheera. Meanwhile, Lloyd and 'Red' were searching for the Titan Mech. Then, an eagle appears and attacks them. Lloyd and Red enter a cave for safety. They realize that the Titan Mech was held there. Lloyd viewed a message that Zane recorded previously. Lloyd repairs the mech, then he and Red head out, only to be attacked again by the same bird. They quickly defeat the bird and scare it off. They continue their search to find Zane.

## Plot

Cole tells a few young children about Zane and Aspheera using puppets he had made from paper and sticks, resulting in one child fainting while the rest flee from the room while screaming. Cole complains to Kai, Nya, and Jay about what had happened, to which Nya reminds him that their adventures did not seem to be appropriate for the children.

Suddenly, Uthaug comes up to them, holding a piece of green cloth, which they found out it's from Lloyd before they soon state that he is now alone and that they cannot help him.

Meanwhile, Lloyd discloses to the wolf (whom he later nicknames 'Red') about what he had been through regarding his father. As the wolf scales a rock nearby, Lloyd remarks that it was nice to get his insecurities off his chest despite the fact that the two had only just met awhile earlier. He hears the tracker of the Titan Mech beeping again, and takes it out, noting that it is close by. Lloyd and the wolf then run in the direction marked by the tracker. The scene then cuts to Lloyd and the wolf continuing to follow the tracker, when they reach a canyon. The wolf is scared to traverse the dangerous landscape, but Lloyd manages to persuade her. As the two ventured further, they are met and attacked by a Giant Eagle. Lloyd and the wolf try to defend themselves but soon find they are cornered. They manage to find an ice cave to hide in but had damaged the tracker in the progress.

He soon notices a figure further into the cave, only to find that it is the mech before looking around to see some camping resources, and then sees a screen before activating it with jump cables connected to a battery. It plays a message from Zane, who states that he doesn't know how many days it has been since he was banished to the Never-Realm while also relaying that during his time, he had been repairing the mech, but was unable to finish, and had given up hope on ever being rescued. He soon asks the viewer to relay the message and tells P.I.X.A.L. that he loves her. Lloyd is saddened by the message, but comes to himself, promising to finish what his friend started.

He decides to fix the mech using his Elemental Powers, then goes outside to defeat the giant eagle, scaring the wolf in the process before he managed to persuade it to join him on the mech. After that, he sets out to find Zane.
