## Overview

Pride before fall! After redeeming two of their supposed foes and stopping the real villains using them, the Ninja Force has had a boost in confidence and not to mention their training has paid off and the heroes have become true guardians of NINJAGO. Recently, they've been encountering several crooks they've captured babbling about a new group of savages calling themselves the Shadow Forgers. Both Zane & DIGITAL think that they might be tied back to the Overlord, but this research is interrupted as the Ninja are forced to defend Jamanakai Village from a man calling himself, Fallen Angel. They are successful in defending the village from the man and his group of assassins linked to the Shadow Forgers. However, Michael is surprised to learn that Fallen Angel knows well of who he is and that he wasn't simply found on the street by Lloyd. Is this maniac linked to Michael in some way? And what secrets did Lloyd keep from Michael? Michael finds himself with no other choice but to search for answers as his teammates search for a way to stop these Shadow Forgers. As the heroes are plunged into a new adventure, they will find that not all is what it seems and that secrets are best kept hidden...
