Sons of the Overlord

The **Sons of the Overlord** (abbreviated as **S.O.T.O.**) was a villainous biker organization. The group was originally led by Harumi, a.k.a. "The Quiet One", and sought to conquer both Ninjago and Equestria and resurrect the Overlord. To bring about his rebirth, the group searched for the three Oni Masks and revived the Overlord at the Temple of Resurrection, though they were arrested when the ceremony seemingly failed.

The reborn Overlord freed Harumi, and the group took control of Kryptarium Prison. There, the Overlord fought and nearly killed Lloyd, while the Sons planned to return to Ninjago City and showcase their new emperor--the Overlord. As the Overlord's Colossus terrorized Ninjago, it seemingly killed Wu, the original Ninja, and the four alicorns. As a result, Lloyd created a Resistance to oppose the Overlord's rule, as his forces occupied Ninjago.

The Resistance fought the Sons of the Overlord, holding up against them for some time. During the conflict, the Overlord destroyed Mr. E after he failed to capture Lloyd, and Harumi died after the building on which she stood collapsed. During a climactic battle against the Overlord and the Colossus, the Overlord lost his element and the Colossus crumbled apart. As a result, most if not all of the Sons were arrested and sent back to Kryptarium Prison.
