Four Golden Weapons

The Four Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu are four elemental weapons used in the Ninjago theme. They were created by The First Spinjitzu Master, used to create world of Ninjago. These weapons were the Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Shurikens of Ice, and the Sword of Fire; weapons so powerful that no mortal can posses all of them at once. These weapons play a big role in Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu.
== Background ==
The Four Golden Weapons were initially used by The First Spinjitzu Master to create the Ninjago. These weapons were forged at Golden Peak, and gold used to make them was from the Temple of Light. After the First Spinjitzu Master died, the Golden Weapons were passed down to his sons, Garmadon and Wu. At that time, it was revealed that The Great Devourer's blood had consumed Lord Garmadon's body. Garmadon attempted to steal the weapons and use them to create Ninjago in his own evil image. However, he only obtained the Sword of Fire and Nunchucks of Lightning, as his Wu took the Scythe of Quakes and Surikens of Ice. Wu refused to allow Garmadon to take the weapons, and a battle broke out. Lord Garmadon nearly won, but Wu managed to banish him into the Underworld. Wu then hid the Golden Weapons in four different locations, guarded by four elemental dragons. He gave the map of the locations to a blacksmith, who he was great friends with.
After being cast down to the Underworld, Garmadon gathered the Skulkin army to try and retrieve the map from the blacksmith's shop, as well as his daughter, Nya. (The blacksmith had died by that time.) Sensei Wu and Kai, the blacksmith's son fought back. However, the Skulkin succeeded. Sensei Wu, then formed a Ninja team, consisting of Cole (earth), Jay (lightning), Zane (ice), and Kai (fire), to take back the map and weapons. 
The Ninja succeeded in stealing the map, as well as the Scythe of Quakes, Nunchucks of Lightning, and Surikens of Ice. However, the Skulkin ambushed them, taking the 3 Golden Weapons. Meanwhile, Sensei Wu had taken the Sword of Fire. Wu and the Ninja made it to the Underworld, where Samukai (with the three Golden Weapons) battles Wu for the Sword of Fire. Samukai succeeded in getting the Sword of Fire, and possesses all the Four Golden Weapons. He then attempts to betray Lord Garmadon and become the ruler of the Underworld again. Garmadon only laughs, as this was part of his plan. Samukai, possessing all Four Golden Weapons, blows up; he is a mortal and cannot handle their power. Lord Garmadon then informs that even he does not have the power to possess all the weapons. However, the weapons opened a portal to the Dark Continent, and Garmadon enters, vowing to return powerful enough to possess all four weapons at once.
The Ninja then took the weapons back to Ninjago, where they began mastering them. In "Rise of the Snakes", they Ninja were not good at using them, and Wu forbid them from using them as well. However, in "Home", the Ninja learned to handle their weapons and were able to use them in battle. In "Home", Sensei Wu taught the Ninja that they could use the Golden Weapons to imagine a vehicle and summon it. Kai could then turn his Sword of Fire into a Blade Cycle, Jay could turn the Nunchucks of Lightning into a Storm Fighter, Cole could turn the Scythe of Quakes into a Thread Assault, and Zane could turn the Surikens of Ice into a Snowmobile. In "Tick Tock", Wu explained to the Ninja that they can use their weapons to unlock their true potential; a form where they are of pure element. Later in the episode, Zane unlocked his true potential after discovering his origins. In "Once Bitten, Twice Shy", Jay unlocked his true potential after learning to be himself. In "The Royal Blacksmiths", Cole unlocks his true potential after being accepted by his father. In "The Green Ninja", Kai unlocks his true potential by rescuing Lloyd.
In "Day of the Great Devourer", the Ninja were attacked by The Great Devourer, a legendary snake that will endlessly grow as long as it consumes. The Ninja could not defeat it, and were forced to give their Golden Weapons to the four-armed Lord Garmadon, capable of possessing all four weapons. Garmadon succeeded in defeating the snake but stole the Golden Weapons for himself.
 In "Darkness Shall Rise", Garmadon went to the Golden Peaks and merged the four weapons into a weapon more powerful then all of the four were before, the Mega Weapon. This new weapon had only the power to create, not destroy. Using weapon also drains and Garmadon's strength each time he used it, so he used it once a day. In "Wrong Place, Wrong Time", the Ninja went back in time and destroyed Lord Garmadon's mega weapon with the Golden Weapons from the past. The Golden Weapons then flew into the sky, being seen into the Ninjago night like a star.
In "Codename: Arcturus", Pythor launched the Overlord's Nindroids on a rocket named Arcturus. In "The Void", Arcturus reached a comet, where the Nindroids took the Golden Weapons. The Ninja followed them to space and took their launch key. However, Arcturus was eaten by Alien Bugs and the Nindroids escaped with the Golden Weapons, as they have jets on their feet.
In "The Titanium Ninja", the Overlord uses the Golden Weapon's gold to make himself the Golden Master. He melts down the remaining gold at Borg Industries, and uses it to create the Golden Armor. The Golden Armor, being made of the Golden Weapons, has the capability to destroy anyone who touches them. This excludes the Overlord, who can also handle their power. Using the Golden Armor, the Overlord terrorizes New Ninjago City. However, the Ninja return and plan to go to the Temple of Fortitude. The Overlord tries to stop the Ninja but fails, when they go into the temple and activate its shield. The Ninja obtain the armor of the Stone Army, which they use to protect themselves from the Overlord's attacks. However, the Overlord creates a huge spider web over New Ninjago City, trapping the Ninja and seeming to grow. However, he does not trap Zane, who charges at his armor, and shoots him with his ice powers. Zane kills the Overlord, but also dies from the power of the Golden Armor. 
Later, Cyrus Borg hid the Golden Armor in a secret place, which he kept secret even from Lloyd. The armor was later seen in a high security vault with other valuable or dangerous artifacts, such as the Realm Crystal and the Sword of Sanctuary. Garmadon and Lloyd, while fighting the Oni in the vault, learned that they feared the armor, and so took it with them as they made their escape. They brought it back to the Monastery of Spinjitzu, where it was melted down in order to reforge the Golden Weapons, which they used to battle the Oni.
In "A Painful Promise", Aspheera discovered the weapons in the vehicle bay of the monastery and expressed surprise that all four would be kept in the same place. Wu revealed that, following their last usage, they had been left powerless, and it was thus deemed better to keep them all together.

== Notes ==
* In the episode of season 2, "Wrong Place, Wrong Time", it is revealed that the only thing that can destroy the Mega Weapon is another Mega Weapon, or all 4 of the golden weapons separately.
* Throughout Ninjago, only three people have been shown to have the ability to possess all Four Golden Weapons at once. These include The First Spinjitzu Master, Lord Garmadon (only with four arms), and the Overlord.
