The Ninja are the main protagonists, and Cross and Sheiver are the main antagonists. This chapter lacks a villainous faction.

It was originally written in 2018.

## Synopsis

*Sheiver recruits the help of a mysterious young Skulkin, and tries to unlock a secret within him. Meanwhile, the Ninja must cope with their true identity, and have an identity crisis of their own. . .*

## Plot Summary

Sheiver and a mysterious Skulkin warrior named Cross attack the Royal Palace of Ogaji, and the Ninja are called to action yet again.

They fight Cross while trying to protect Jordan's parents, and find out that it is just Chad but reborn as a Skulkin. Later, he attacks their Palace, and steals back the Dragonbone Blade. Sheiver tells him that he must do this so that he can unlock his memories and his Elemental Power.

Cross uses the Blade to blast the Ninja, leaving some of their brains mixed up.

Cross eventually unlocks almost all of his power, but then remembers that the Ninja are his real friends. He defeats Sheiver, and seals him in the Dragonbone Blade. At this time, he unlocks some of his Golden Light power, and returns his friends minds to normal . . .

Meanwhile a man in a silver and black gi hops out of the Temple of Time...

## Author's Notes

* The term "ipseity" means identity. The title of the chapter literally means "Identity Crisis"
	+ This is because not only did Chad become someone he wasn't, but the Ninja's brains get mixed up as well.
	+ The reason I did this was because for some reason at the time I wanted my chapter titles to be really unique, so I Googled random synonyms for the names I wanted to use. (I did the same thing for *The Deicide*.)
* This is another chapter where I attempted to do the "hero turns evil" gimmick. This is the first attempt to do so with Chad, but it isn't really as shallow as I originally thought it to be. It's meant to show that Chad has this darkness in him. If he was truly pure of heart, would he be so easily persuaded by Sheiver? I dunno. Food for thought.
* The idea that a hero disgraced in battle comes back to life as a Skulkin comes from word from the Hageman Brothers, the original writers for LEGO Ninjago.
* This is probably my second least favorite chapter in Rebirth, the first being *The Deicide*.
	+ Funnily enough, the thing both seasons have in common is that some weird word I've never heard of is in the title.
	+ Probably why I don't like it is that it's just kind of short, uneventful, and doesn't contribute that much to the plot. The end sets up the next chapter, but besides that the continuity is sort of irrelevant. It was still more fun to write than *The Deicide*, though, so there's that.
* The poster for this chapter is the first one in the series to be made entirely in Photoshop.
	+ It's also my least favorite poster in the entire series so when rewrites come in a few years down the like (jokes) I'm going to redo it...
