Ninjago[]
In 2010, the Hypnobrai Tribe was being transported inside a trailer across Jamanakai Dam. However, a trap set by the Fangpyre Tribe freed the Hypnobrai, and they began killing construction workers on the dam. As the chaos ensued, Zane and Kai entered the village on a hovercraft, and attacked a Rattlecopter. Though the copter was destroyed, Skales, the leader of the Hypnobrai, killed Cole's father. Several years later, Zane had completed much of his early training with Wu and his allies. One day, an aerial pirate ship, Destiny's Bounty, arrived in Jamanakai Village. Wu dispatched Zane and his allies to raid the Bounty and rescue the crew's prisoners - Dareth and a politician, Cillian Fincher.
Though their mission was a success, Wu learned that his nephew, Lloyd Garmadon, had freed the Hypnobrai and Fangpyre tribes from their tomb. Lloyd led the Serpentine on a mission to blow up Jamanakai Village's electrical barrel and fuel the chaos in the city. To counteract Lloyd's plans, Zane and the Ninja readied their vehicles and arrived at Jamanakai, with Zane flying his Ice Dragon. A battle ensued in the village, as Zane and the Ninja raided Destiny's Bounty once more. During the fight, Zane and Kai flew in the Ice Dragon, which pursued Rattlecopters through the village. Eventually, the Bounty would crash and Soto's crew was forced to leave, while Lloyd and the Serpentine retreated as well.
The Ninja allied with police officers Ben Delmar and Mason Davis and set off to fight the Serpentine again. Zane flew the Ice Dragon through the jungles of Ninjago, pursuing a Fangpyre Truck carrying explosives. The chase led to the Slither Pit, a giant canyon on the outskirts of the jungle. There, Cole fought and killed Skales, avenging his father, while Zane captured Lloyd as per Wu's orders. After Jay and Kai destroyed the Fangpyre Truck, Zane joined them as they regrouped with Cole and the police in the canyon. The group agreed to stay united and fight for a better future.
Following the conflict, Zane met with Cole, Kai and Jay, and they vowed to continue their roles as defenders of Ninjago.
