## History

### Background

It all started when the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago using the four Golden Weapons of Spintizu which he created using gold from the Golden Peaks and forged them all in the Temple of Light. They were powerful weapons that could harness the four elements of creation, the Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Shurikens of Ice, and the Sword of Fire. Their power was so great that no one could handle their power all at ounce. The First Spinjitzu Master also had two sons, the oldest Garmadon who had the power of darkness and destruction and the youngest Wu who had the power of light and creation. The First Spinjitzu Master loved his sons and they both loved him and each other. But then one day when both Wu and Garmadon were sparing together, Wu lost his training staff and Garmadon went to go get it. When he did he was bitten by an evil snake called the Great Devourer whose venom corrupted Garmadon. After the First Spintizu Master passed, Garmadon and Wu watched over the Golden Weapons, but soon Garmadon was fully corrupted by the Devourer's venom and he tried to steal the Golden Weapons for himself so he could remake Ninjago in his own image. But Wu fought against him and was able to stop Garmadon by banishing him to the Underworld where he became it's new ruler, Lord Garmadon after overthrowing it's previous king, Samukai. the Skulkins who lived in the Underworld then became Garmadon's army and he vowed he would steal the Golden Weapons and escape the Underworld. As for Wu, he hid the weapons so Garmadon would never find them and left a dragon at each of the four hiding places as a guardian. He then made a map of the hiding places and gave it to his old friend, Ray the Master of Fire who was also a blacksmith. Years later, Samukai visited a brilliant Inventor named Dr. Julien after reviving him from the dead with a special elixir. He told Dr. Julien to build high tech vehicles and weapons for the Skulkins so they could find the Golden Weapons. When he refused, Samukai imprisoned him on an island prison far away from Ninjago and told Dr. Julien that if he did what he said, Samukai would let him see his robot son, Zane again whose memories had been turned off. But to make sure Dr. Julien didn't escape, Samukai chained a Leviathan to guard the island. Overtime, Dr. Julien remained on the island building the Skulkin the vehicles they needed to find the Golden Weapons for Garmadon, while Zane traveled Ninjago alone as an orphan with no memory of his father or that he was a robot. After Garmadon had resurfaced to try and get the Golden Weapons, Wu went to gather up four individuals who would were the chosen ones that would protect the Golden Weapons and all of Ninjago as the masters of the four elements. The first one was Cole who he found rock climbing, the second one was Jay who he found testing out his own inventions, and the third one was Zane who he found meditating in a frozen lake. Wu trained the three at the Monastery to use Spinjitzu and become Ninja, the three also got to bond with each other and work together like a team. Wu then went to get the fourth one, Kai who was the son of Ray and was now running the blacksmith shop with his sister, Nya but he wasn't very good at it.

### The Battle

Suddenly, the Skulkins led by Samukai arrive on the vehicles and attack the shop to try and steal the map. Kai and Nya try to fight them off but while they were fighting them, two of the Skulking General named Kruncha and Nuckal were able to find and steal the map. Kai then trys to fight against Samukai but was knocked down until he is saved with help from Wu using Spintizu, but the Skulkins kidnap Nya and then escape. Afterwards, Wu tells Kai about Garmadon and the Golden Weapons then offers him to help Kai train to use Spinjitzu and become a ninja so he could get Nya back, Kai refuses at first but eventually agrees to let Wu train him. However, When Kai first arrives at the Monastery of Spinjitzu he had a tough time training for a few days but eventually starts to get better and Wu tells him that his final test will be tomorrow. But then at night he gets attacked by three black ninjas and fights them off, but then Wu arrives and reveals that they are his other three students. Master Wu then gives them all their own Ninja uniforms and declares them Elemental Masters. With Kai as the Master of Fire, Jay as the Master of Lightning, Cole as the Master of Earth, and Zane as the Master of Ice. In the morning, Wu and the Ninja go to get the Golden Weapons while at the same time pulling Wu with a horseless carriage. They find the first hiding place, the Caves of Despair where the Scythe of Quakes is located but find out that the Skulkins are already there looking for the Scythe too. Wu and the Ninja try to think off a plan to get the scythe with Wu warning them not to use it but Kai goes on and sneaks into the place himself with the Cole, Jay, and Zane following him. The Ninja are then able to get the map from Samukai and then use it to find the scythe. But after they get it they fight off the Skulkins to try and protect the scythe and eventually learn Spintizu. But suddenly, they are attacked by the Earth Guardian Dragon which forces the Skulkins to retreat. However, Kai manages to defeat it by using the Scythe and the Ninja all escape using Spinjitzu. Samukai then reports the failure of retrieving the scythe and the Ninja learning Spinjitzu to Garmadon which is all part of his plan then orders Samukai to let the Ninja think they're winning. The Ninja then go to the second hiding place, the Frozen Wasteland where the Shurikens of Ice are located and then Wu tells them that when all the elements are combined they form the Tornado of Creation which has the power to create something out of nothing. But it can only be achieved if all the Ninja work together as a team or there will be disastrous consequences. When he Ninja arrive at the Frozen Wasteland they find the Shurikens of Ice and awaken the Ice Guardian Dragon, but they all manage to escape from it. They then find the third hiding place, the Floating Ruins where the get the Nunchucks of Lighting are located. They are able to get them after evading the Skulkins and escaping from the Lightning Guardian Dragon.

Later at night, the Ninja celebrate their victory in the forest with a dance party, but while they are sleeping Kai finds Nya and chases after her to the fourth hiding place, the Fire Temple where the Sword of Fire is located. But when he finds Nya she reveals herself to be a shadow illusion of Garmadon in shadow form. He forces Kai to get him the Sword of Fire and in return he'll let the real Nya go, which Kai does and uses it to save Nya in the process. But then Garmadon sends out Shadow versions of Kai to fight him who eventually beat him and get the sword. Until Master Wu shows up, defeats the Kai Shadows using his own shadow, and reclaims the sword. Just as Wu thinks he has won, Garmadon sends out the Skulkins to capture Cole, Jay, and Zane and steal the other three Golden Weapons. Garmadon then awakens the Fire Guardian Dragon to attack Wu, Kai, and Nya. So Wu decides to take the sword to the Underworld to face Garmadon himself. So Garmadon orders the Skulkins to return to the Underworld with the Golden Weapons they have but Jay frees himself, Zane, and Cole who all go after the Skulkins who are escaping on their vehicles. While the Ninja try their best to stop them, the Skulkins escape to the Underworld with the Golden Weapons and Jay loses his voice after Cole accidently hits him. Meanwhile, Wu wakes up in the Underworld with the sword and then goes to find Garmadon. Jay, Cole, and Zane head to the Fire Temple where they find both Kai and Nya who have gotten the Fire Guardian Dragon on their side. The Ninja all decide to go to the Underworld using all four Guardian Dragons and Nya heads back home. When the Ninja arrive at the Underworld they try to sneak into Garmadn's castle but their cover gets blown and they fight off the Skulkins and the Spykors. Meanwhile, Wu finds Garmadon and fights off the Skulkins and Samukai who has the other three Golden Weapons. During the Ninja's fight with the Skulkins and Spykors, Jay regains his voice and says to use the Tornado of Creation. So the Ninja all combine using Spinjitzu and form the Tornado of Creation which they use to defeat the Skulkins and Spykors by creating a bone Ferris Wheel that traps the Skulkins in it. They then go to help Master Wu but back down because it is his fight alone. Samukai defeats Wu and Garmadon orders him to bring him the weapons but after he gets the sword, Samukai declares that he is Garmadon's master now. However, since no one can hold all the Golden Weapons at ounce their combined power destroys Samukai and opens up a portal through time and space for Garmadon to escape which was his plan all along. Garamdon then goes through the portal and escapes the Underworld vowing he would become powerful enough to posses all four Golden Weapons and take over Ninjago.

### Aftermath

With Garmadon gone the Ninja reclaim the Golden Weapons as their own, but Wu fears that Garmadon would return which the Ninja vow to be ready for. The Ninja then reunite with Nya and celebrate their victory then they all go back to the Monastery with Nya. They even keep the Guardian Dragons and even give them names. But Garamdon would eventually come back with the power to posses all four Golden Weapons which had given him four arms in the process, Garmadon would even help the Ninja fight the Serpentine using the Skulkins before he went back to destroying them. Zane would also find out about his origins and his identity with help from a robot falcon Dr. Julien built. Then later find Dr. Julien and rescue him from the island prison during the Final Battle of Ninjago.

### Alternate Timeline

When Garmadon got all the Golden Weapons and merged them together to form the Mega Weapon, he used it to go back in time to stop the Ninja from ever forming so his son Lloyd would never become the destined Green Ninja who would defeat him. Which he tried to do by stopping Nya from being kidnapped by the Skulkins, but the Ninja followed Garmadon and were able to preserve the timeline with help from past Wu by making it look like the Skulkins kidnapped Nya back at the Monsatary. However, Garmadon teamed up with his past self and they both fought against past Kai and Nya at the Fire Temple. But the Ninja helped them and used the Golden Weapons from the past to destroy the Mega Weapon which restored the original timeline. However, it caused the Golden Weapons and the Mega Weapon to be merged together into a giant golden ball that gets blasted off onto a comet in space which would not be found until the Nindroid Crisis.
