Tom Phan

*“G, relax.”*

— Tom to G probably more than once

Tom in Sleeping Slaves

Elemental Masters

Ghosts

Team Phantom

Dragon Keepers

The New Ninja of Ogaji

Conscious-Men

**Tom Phan**, previously known as **Morro**, or the King of the Ghost World, is the Master of Destruction, and best friend of G Frost.

His father was born of the Oni Demons, and his mother was a human, and he was born a little before the Extinction of the Elemental Masters, and joined them in defeating Bamos. Tom was defeated in battle, and was cursed by Bamos into becoming a ghost, and he was sent to the Ghost World.

He lived there as the evil Phanto, without the memories of his former life, until he was defeated by G and his brother Llide and turned good again.

From then on he traveled with the two of them throughout the rest of Milo's Adventures and all of Closing the Circles, and even became G's best friend.

35 years later, he and G became assistant Masters to the New Elemental Masters. He lead them until he was forced to take the mantle of Master of Life, in order to preserve the Balance of Ogaji for as long as possible.

His soul would be ripped from the Departed Realm several thousand years later by the Oni in order to serve a higher purpose. He would gain control of his body, then join the other Conscious-Men to destroy the High Order and return Balance to Ogaji once and for all.

in *Sleeping Slaves*, Tom would unite with the other Elemental Masters to destroy the High Order and reset the timeline so that everything after *Doomsday* ceased to exist, and Ogaji lives on with the Balance in shape.

## History

### Early Life

His father was part of a crew of Half-Oni that hunted down dragons and exploited their powers for their own benefit, and he abandoned him and his mother at his birth. Because he is half Oni Demon, he inherited his fathers' power of Destruction. After his father abandoned the two of them when Tom was young, his mother wanted to cut all of their ties with him; she never told Tom about his Oni heritage.

And so, Tom grew up without any knowledge of his hidden power and identity. When his mother told him about his father, she told him he was a "police officer." Because of this, Tom wanted to be like his father, and became part of the Ogaji Police Force. During his time on the force, he unlocked his elemental power, and joined the Elemental Masters in the battle between them and Bamos. He was severely hurt in the battle, and crawled into an abandoned shop... and died there alone.

When Tom died, he did not go to the Departed Realm, but instead was sent to the Ghost World, a place where ghosts live in peace. Tom was "born" there with no memory of his past life or his elemental power, and went under the name "Phanto."

### Milo's Adventures

#### After separation (Chronicles of G)

After Phanto was separated from his good and bad side, the good side of Phanto went under the name of Morro. Morro joined G and Llide's efforts to destroy Phanto, and eventually permanently joined their team.

#### Last Light

Following the end of Chronicles of G, and Junior/ Llide's departure from Team Phantom, Morro and G traveled together alone, and eventually became best friends.

Tom and G protected Ogaji in the shadows of Team Amber, stopping villains that Kaitlin didn't have time for, and G was getting tired of it. He felt that he wanted to do more to stop Serces, so he and Morro ambushed Serces . . . but could not defeat him. They were kidnapped by him, and Serces threatened to kill Morro if G didn't use his power to help them. G refused, and Morro was killed.

#### Children of Creation

Morro awoke soon after in the pawn shop he was first killed in. He was a human now. . . but still did not remember his first life. He had many questions, and vague memories he could not trace. . .

He went to the Mountain of Hylia to get some answers. He prayed to the Goddess, and Milo came down from the Sacred Realm to tell him of what happened. He said that Team Amber was defeated, and G had turned to the dark side. Additionally, according to Zorcob's Third Law of Elemental Masters, "When a ghost with an Elemental Power inside them dies, they are brought back to life coupled with all of the memories they've made."

This caused Morro to remember everything- his mother, his father, his Elemental Power, and his name. Milo told Tom that he was also brought back because he is the last piece of the puzzle. He told him to seek out G's two siblings, Zachary and Lavender, and put an end to the Prophecy prematurely.

Tom did as instructed, and found Zachary Frost, the Master of Form, in Ogaji Earth 3, and gave him the hard drive. Zack didn’t understand it so they went to search for Lavender, Zach’s brother and Master of Time. Along their journey, a remnant from Earth-3 hunted them down, and as a side effect of their powers, turned Tom into a hideous monster. Soon after, the Goddess Hylia told him that she could fix his curse, but it would scar his face. He accepted, and Tom lost the horrid appearance, but instead was cursed to a skeleton form...

As well as his skeleton form, Hylia gifted him the power of Earth, but only until Doomsday, so he could stand a chance with the other Elemental Masters.

They met up with Lavender and showed her the hard drive, she understood what it was. It was the last piece needed to complete G, and the only thing that could possibly drive the Darkness out of him. They knew what this meant, and they got right to it. They had to get close to G.

It took a long time, but they found him with the help of a man named Bruce, and a man named Dareth from Ninjago Earth 9. They found G (who now goes under the Alias: Genesis, Deity of Existence) and tried getting close to put the hard drive in but he was too strong, and destroyed it.

As their last resort, Lavender and Zachary felt a strange surge of power, and they merged bodies! They became a new form that was almost as strong as Genesis named Hope! Unfortunately, Genesis was too powerful, and killed the fusion and Tom. . .

Genesis then made his final plans to invade Ogaji. . .

#### Doomsday

In Doomsday, Tom joined the rest of the Ninja in the final battle against G. He, along with Hope, were transported alone to the Ethereal Divide to battle Genesis there.

After hours of fighting, with nothing getting done, Tom and Hope devised a plan to defeat G. Since his main goal was to steal the power of Golden Light and become human, Tom suggested that they sacrifice one of the Heroes of Light, and then when G is human, he will be vulnerable for attack. Hope saw it as the only option, so they met with the remaining Heroes, and told them their plan.

At first no one wanted to do it- Milo was too important to the team to lose, Timothy couldn't do it because Kaitlin wouldn't let him, and vice versa. However, when Genesis caught them, and was about to kill Kaitlin, Timothy realized that he would- in a heartbeat- sacrifice his life for his daughter, and so he did. G took the power of Light from Timothy, and so Tom and Hope moved in for the kill, but he was too strong. Now backed into a corner, Hope concentrated all of their power, as well as the other Elemental Masters, into their staff, and used the power of Time to de-age G into the time before the powers of Darkness and Shadow filled him.

G reunited with Tom, and as the Star of Closing, Tom wished to know where he came from, and G wished that he and Tom would continue to travel together until the end of both of their lives. . .

### Closing the Circles

After Doomsday, Tom continued to live with G. Assuming they were forever exempt from being a Ninja (due to the Star of Closing falling from the sky,) they lived alone in the Temple of Hera relaxed.

On the Day of the Departed, Tom and G gathered together with the remainder of the heroes to mourn the loss of the fallen Elemental Masters. Meanwhile Bamos’ Watchers (a group of people Bamos assembled together during The Light Knight) were watching G. It turns out that they are planning on resurrecting Bamos and they are going to use G as a sacrifice because he is the one that killed him. The Watchers try to kidnap G, but he escapes and gets the help of the rest of the remaining elemental masters to take them down. They kill Bamos for good, and the leaders of the Watchers return to the good side, and reveal that they are the elemental masters of sound and gravity.

Soon after, Lord Garmadon makes his return, but his plans are thwarted quickly by Tom and the other Ninja.

#### Of Rotten Heritage

Following the end of the first chapter and after Luke Cunningham moved into the Temple of Hera, Tom and G felt bored after defeating Bamos' Watchers. Tom felt out of place after his power of Earth was taken back.

Until one day, he heard a knock at the front gate. When he went to open the door, he found that no one was there, and at his doorstep was a staff with a shimmering green crystal pointing out the top of it. Tom picked it up and felt a strange surge of power flow through him... The staff spoke to him. It told him to look in the canyon below, and he would find answers to his past...

Without telling G or Luke, Tom ventured into the depths of the Canyon of Demise alone. Once at the very bottom, the staff lead him to a cave... he used his strange new power to burst through the rubble, and found a legion of zombified Oni Demons down in the depths of the caves.

The leader, Zozuk, introduced himself. He claimed to be the current Demon King. He introduced Tom to his army of Demons. There was his second in command, Bornium, the Master of Infection, Zika, and the quiet but powerful Eracna. Tom was confused as to why he would show him all this, and Zozuk says that they have been imprisoned underground by the people of Ogaji long ago, and he freed them. He also makes note that only one of Oni blood could open the sealed door... When Tom said he found them by the staff, Zozuk recognized it as the Staff of All Oni. He showed him his own staff, the Staff of Dragons, and said there are four Oni Staffs in Ogaji. Zozuk asked Tom to join them in finding the final two, and said if he did he would help him unlock his *real* true potential. Tom agreed, and went with them without telling G.

Meanwhile, G had gotten worried about where his friend went, so he went looking for him. He found Tom through their communication watch, and G tried to convince him to stop traveling with the strange people. Tom got angry, and attacked G, and said they are helping him. G took off in anger.

Tom continued to follow Zozuk and his demon army, and together, the few of them gathered the four Oni Staffs, (while being chased by G, Luke, Sammy, and Gordon) and Zozuk revealed their true intentions for gathering the staffs. Each staff possesses 1/4 of the spirit of their master. . . The Lost Queen. The Lost Queen was the former Princess of Ogaji, and younger sister of the Princess who awakened the Hero of Courage. It turned out that she was in contact with Mojo at the time, and planned for her sisters' murder so she could be queen. When his plan failed, she went into hiding and got lost in the First Realm. There, she found Zozuk and his army, and lead them in a war against the Oni Gods. They lost the war, and her spirit was split in four, and the Demons were cast underground. Now she was back, and Tom joined her in returning to the First Realm. To do that, she found the four Dragons of Creation, and stole their essences. . . With that, she opened a portal to the first realm. There, Tom found out the truth about his father, and unlocked his true potential as the Master of Destruction.

With that, Helga forced Tom to combine his power with hers and destroy the Realm of Oni and Dragons, and use the power of Creation to rebuild it without Dragons or Oni Gods. Tom was almost at the brink of doing it, until G saved him, and Tom and the Dragon Keepers defeated the Lost Princess, and rid of the Oni Demons.

G recreated the Dragon Den from the First Realm, in Ogaji and made that the Dragon Keeper base. Unfortunately, Luke and Gordon died during this chapter.

#### Guardians of Existence

During this chapter, Tom played a supporting role in defeating The Guardians of Existence, and stopping Clouse from returning to Ninjago.

#### Mirror Me Part 1

During this chapter, Tom played a supporting role in the Dragon Keepers' attempt at defeating Lord Dimmick and Mr. E.

#### Mirror Me Part 2

During this chapter, Tom played a supporting role in defeating Serces and locating the Elements of Destruction to destroy the Gauntlet of Creation.

### Rebirth

#### The New Elemental Masters

After 35 years of retirement, G and Tom return to the Ninja business when Gordon Gold says he needs someone to teach the New Elemental Masters the arts of Spinjitzu and Airjitzu. Tom agrees to teach the new class of Masters, and realizes that when there are people that defend, there are people to defend from.

A group of rogue Elemental Masters that go by the name of The Gifted begin a streak of burglaries across the city before they make their biggest heist yet, and steal the Power Crystal. With that, they show Ogaji that they get what they want when they want it, and they won't be stopped.

Tom and his newly formed team of Ninja go after the Gifted, and try to halt their attempt to resurrect Serces (who they refer to as "The Ancient One.")

The Gifted are successful in resurrecting him, but it didn't go as they planned. They used the Master of Speed, Raphael, as a host body for the resurrection, and Serces didn't come back as himself. During his time banished in the Ethereal Divide, Serces perished, but his power lingered. Now Raphael was powered with the Element of Shadow, and wanted revenge on the other Gifted for causing him pain. He then goes after the new Elemental Masters to prove his might, and Chad, the Master of Amber, absorbs his power and uses it against him, defeating him again.

Now Tom and his Team take base in the Ogaji Desert Palace, and train for any future attacks on Ogaji.

#### Scavengers

A week after the defeat of the Ancient One and the Gifted, Tom and the others feel a disturbance at the Edge of the World. He, Jordan (Masters of Gravity and Sound), and Sid (Master of Nature) went to investigate. They found there two men and a monster. They were the Scavengers, a crew of space thieves that travel the galaxy stealing from planet to planet. G found out that the Master of Ice (Sheiver) from the team of Gifted had joined them, and they were at the Edge of the World to find a power source for their captains ship.

The power they found was of the Infinity Crystals. Only two remained after they had been used to resurrect the Ancient One, and those were the Allpower Crystal and the Reality Crystal. One of the Scavengers (Morgum) had held the Reality Crystal in his hand, and it's power caused an elemental reaction which brought Tom and the others to their location.

The Scavengers introduced themselves to Tom, being Sheiver, Morgum, and a red alien named Kraglin. Sheiver took the Reality Crystal from Morgum and used it to trap G and Jordan in the Ethereal Divide, leaving Sid behind with the Scavengers.

A few hours later a wormhole opened up and the three of them were dragged out. They were brought to the Gifted's old base In an abandoned factory by the Scavengers. There, they met the terrible Captain Zelok. Zelok demonstrated to the Ninja that his lust for power is unmatched, and he would do anything to get what he wants. He instructs his crew to return to the Edge of the World to search for the remaining Infinity Crystal.

While Zelok's back is turned, G and the others manage to escape as well as steal the Reality Crystal. They soon meet back up with the other Elemental Masters at the Desert Palace and inform them of the danger. They gather around in the main foyer and discuss a plan...

Meanwhile, the Scavengers were unable to find the Allpower Crystal, and arrived back at their base to find their prisoners escaped (G, Sid, and Exio)... Knowing the Captain would be angry, they staged a bank robbery in Ogaji City to lure G over to take back the Crystal.

G arrives at the scene with Tom, Nelly (Master of Energy), Sid, and Trevor (Master of Lightning.) They free the prisoners in the bank and fight the Scavengers. Halfway through the fight, Zelok arrives in his ship (via remote piloting) and evens out the battle by shooting at the Ninja. His ship ends up crashing on Sid, leading the Ninja to flee, and dropping the Reality and Power Crystals behind (Tom had previously stolen the Reality Crystal.)

The Ninja return to the Palace and make preparations to storm the Scavengers base and defeat them once and for all. Meanwhile, the Scavengers give the two crystals to Zelok, and they go to the Edge of the World and find the Allpower Crystal. With this power, Zelok grows into a monstrous black beast with teeth and fangs as sharp as knives. Sheiver reveals that there is a single Crystal in the desert palace... The Realm Crystal.

The Scavengers attack the Palace, and they kill the Royal Guards. The Ninja attempt to hold them back but they are unable, and Zelok takes the Realm Crystal... He devours it, and grows double his size. To test his power he grabs G and attempts to murder him but he is stopped by a blast from behind. He turns to find that Sid survived the crash, and unlocked his Ultimate Potential, and is now the Ultimate Master of Nature. He regroups the Ninja and they take one last stance against Zelok. They battle, and Zelok ends up consuming Exio, taking his power.

Now with his combined abilities, he opens up a portal to the Sacred Realm... He announces that he will enter this realm to take the remaining power he desires... He takes his steps towards the portal as the Ninja try and stop him, when all hope seems lost, Sheiver freezes the Ninja in their place with his power.

Zelok turns to see Sheiver with his fists glowing with power. He takes off his mask to reveal his identity... He is a cursed ghost. One that survived the Preeminent's destruction. Sheiver creates an icicle and shoves it through Zelok's heart. He reveals that his plan was for Zelok to open the portal all along, and the only reason he didn't do it himself was because he knew all the power would destroy him.

He walks into the portal... and the doorway closes. The remaining Scavengers flee as the Ninja defrost... and Sheiver takes his first steps into the Sacred Realm.

#### The Deicide

At the Desert Palace, the Ninja were training as usual and doing their busy things when a strange gust of wind appeared from out of nowhere.

The front guards were disarmed by a mysterious ghost like man, and the ninja were alerted. The ghost man stormed through the palace, cutting through anyone and everyone that got in his way until he found Sheila. She fought back, but the ghost man took her.

On his way out of the castle he was caught by G, and let Sheila go. As he did this he disappeared…

The Ninja became frightened by what just happens, and decided to keep Sheila heavily guarded in the throne room in case anything like that was to happen again.

G made note that he appeared to have the element of Wind. The only other person with that element would be his old friend Llide… meaning that he stole his power. G and Tom became furious, and swore he’d destroy whoever messes with a member of Team Phantom.

Meanwhile, the ghost man visited Gordon Gold at his house.

He attacked him, and told him what he had done. He introduced himself as The Deicide, killer of gods, and Gordon was next.

They fought for a minute, and Gordon’s house was heavily damaged, but he managed to make it out alive. The Deicide swore he would return for his head, and disappeared once again.

Gordon sent out a distress call to the Ninja, explaining what happened, also confirming that the Deicide killed Llide.

The Ninja figure out that he’s probably going after people who are related to those were in Team Waters, and so he sends Chad, Sheila, and Sid to Gordon’s to hide out.

They also call Simon to come and make sure that Sid’s ok.

Simon goes to Gordon’s, and he fights the Deicide.

The Deicide reveals that he is Jonah, the head knight that was killed by Belkoff in The Light Knight. He said he is back for revenge because Team Waters took what was his away from him (being the hero of Courage) so he took the powers of the god of Courage to be more powerful than Timothy ever was.

Jonah kills him in front of Sid, and Sid fights him. Jonah almost kills him but he disappears.

They all realize they have to end this once and for all and go back to the palace.

They all take their positions at the castle when he arrives.

They all fight, but they leave it to Sheiver.

Sheiver encases Jonah In Ice, And tells G to use fire power to melt him so that he would evaporate. He realize this will kill him too, but does it anyway.

Sheiver seems to sacrifice himself, but Jonah dies and he doesn’t.

Sheiver takes the power of Wind and Life from Jonah and he becomes the God of Courage.
He tells Tom and the others that their fight is not over yet, and he will return.

#### No Laughing Matter

Months later, Tom, Nelly, Sid, Jordan, and the Desert Palace guards are kidnapped in the middle of the night. They are brought to the Underworld, and Tom is kept as a statue to show his captors victory.

Eventually, G and the others save him, and learn that his captor is Laughy, the King of the Underworld. He finds out that was to awaken the Dry Dragon and take over Ogaji City. Tom briefly fought Laughy, and accidentally killed Chad in the process...

The Ninja, now united, return to Ogaji to find that Laughy and the Dry Dragon are causing havoc in Ogaji City. They finally defeat him by combining all of their Elemental Powers at once, which also breaks the curse on the Dry Dragon. Before Laughy was killed however, he revealed that Chad is still alive... but not in the way they think.

The Ninja return home now, and mourne the loss of Chad. . .

#### Ipseity Crisis

Tom and the others are grieving Chad's death when they get a call from the Palace of Ogaji. They find out that a new villain has teamed up with Sheiver, and is planning on killing the Emperor and Empress. Half the team goes to investigate, and they return with the news that they think the new villain might be Chad.

The villain, a skulkin called Cross, demonstrated traits only a student of Tom would have.

They soon find out that Sheiver kidnapped Cross when he reformed in the Underworld, and made him believe that the Ninja were his enemy. He let him unlock his Elemental Power, and planned on stealing the Golden Light that he possessed.

Cross attacks the Desert Palace and steals the Dragonbone Blade. With it, he somehow mixes up the brains of Sheila, Trevor, and Jordan.

Sheivers plan backfires when they use the Staff of Wishes to fix their brains, and return Chad to normal. Chad seals Sheiver in the Dragonbone Blade, and they assume he is finally defeated.

Meanwhile a man in a silver Ninja gi picks up the Time Temporal and opens a portal...

#### Into the Mult-G-Verse

Tom and his students were doing their usual training at the Desert Palace when they are suddenly attacked by a man in a silver Ninja gi. They fight him off and come to the conclusion that he is a Master of Creation.

This introduces to them the concept of the Ogaji Multiverse, and that there are other timelines of Ogaji where alternate versions of G exist.

Later that day they are visited by another version of G (who they nickname Jolly due to him being much more happy than Master G.) Jolly warns them that the G they previously encountered, who is called Silver, has made an army of other Gs to make himself king of Ogaji. He explains that on the earth he is from, he is the king, and assumes that he can take over since it is his birth right.

Master G has the idea to combat his army of Anti-Gs with an army of their own, and they do so.

With his army of Gs, they combat the Anti-Gs and eventually get rid of all of them by destroying the Time Temporal they came from.

They assume Silver disappeared with the others, but he turns out to be alive. He returns and attacks, now realizing the only way to get what he wants is to do it himself.

He attacks the Ogaji Royal Palace, and the Ninja try to stop him, but they are unable. Silver wrecks complete havoc on Ogaji City, and G realizes that he can't kill him, as their power is matched, and that if he dies then it would kill him too.

G explains his plan to his students and Tom, and even though they don't want him to go, they realize that it's for the greater good of Ogaji.

Before he leaves, G bestows the title of Ninja to all his students and they say goodbye.

He meets Silver at a village and they fight, while G has the intention of dying. He swirls Silver's sword at himself and is stabbed in the chest.

As G’s life force fades, Silver laments that he is damning Ogaji’s Balance, and he will be killing every other G in the multiverse, to which G replies, “Except for one” before dying.

Silver fades away, and the destruction he caused does too.

Tom and the Ninja return to the Desert Palace to mourn the loss of their fallen Master...

#### Surging Shade

Because of G's death, and the rapid growth of the Edge of the World, the Balance of Ogaji begins to shift, causing more and more evil spirits and dark beings to roam the country.

Partially due to this change in climate, Pythor, of Ninjago Earth-743, returns to Ogaji with the help of a small gang. He plans to recreate an ancient device used by the Overlord in the beginning of time to wipe out all those who have betrayed him in the past.

They are soon apprehended by a new rogue hero who calls herself, the "Jade Princess" (who is actually just Empress Pullumi in disguise.)

Pythor and his gang make several more attempts at reactivating their machine, while also getting in the way of the Ninja and the Jade Princess. The Ninja are forced to move to the Ogaji Palace with Pullumi after they come to the conclusion that it's safer, (what with more and more villains roaming around,) and Jordan becomes suspicious of his mother.

Pythor eventually evades the Ninja, and activates the ancient machine. . . The Ninja and the Jade Princess apprehend them, but they are too late, and it activates. The only way to save all of Ogaji from extinction is to reroute the machine's journey to the sea to lessen the blow. They do this, but it barely works. Radiation emits from the machine into the Edge of the World and Black Valley, which causes the Edge to grow in size. Just then, more and more monsters appear in the island, and some of the Ninja leave to go deal with them.

Meanwhile there is a great disturbance in Black Valley, so Jordan and some others go to the Temple to figure it out. There they accidentally awaken a great Shadow beast known as the Beast of Black Valley Temple.

They warn the other Ninja, and they try to fight back, but it is far too powerful to stop. Chad suddenly starts hearing voices in his head telling him to seal the Beast away at the Temple. He and Tom go there to do this, but when they think they've won, Sheiver appears and tells them that he told him to "seal" the beast, which was a lie to reawaken him.

Sheiver gains control over the Beast and fights with the Ninja. He ends up stealing Chad's blade, and stealing his Golden Power. Meanwhile, the Beast kills Pullumi, and Jordan forgets any of his reforms he made for himself, and goes crazy on the beast. They get caught in a loop, an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object, and it's not until Sheiver calls off the beast that they cease their fighting.

Sheiver spares the lives of the Ninja, but leaves them all injured. He knows that there is a battle yet to come, and so he leaves.

As most of Ogaji lay in ruin, as monsters prowl the countryside, the Ninja hold a small funeral for Pullumi, and Jordan realizes what comes next for him. . . Becoming Emperor.

#### Dark Winter

Tom and the Ninja are fighting back against the surges of crime in Ogaji when Security-X calls for him, Trevor, Nelly, and Chad to check something out in the City.

He brings them to the Iron Doom, which has arrived at it's destination after His Return. The Ninja board it, in the hopes of returning to Ogaji Earth-1 to recruit G Frost from that earth to help them against Sheiver.

They enter Earth-1, and the Iron Doom crashes, marooning them there. They eventually find that Security-X was just Sheiver in disguise. Now they are stranded on this earth, and so they make their way to find G and his resistance to find a way home.

There they meet the Jackson, Junior, Llide, and G of that world, and they negotiate a way home. G takes them back by creating another Iron Doom, and they return to Earth-2.

Back there they find that Sheiver has imprisoned the other Ninja below the Palace of Ogaji. The others save them, and Jordan kills Shaderoc. Because he killed the Elemental Beast of Sound, he is to become the successor, and that is proven with a blue scar on his forehead.

Now the Ninja are finally together again. Chad, Nelly, and Trevor leave to explore the dungeons, and return saying that they have accidentally reawakened the Ancient One.

Sheiver appears and reveals his true motives, and that was that he is Chad's father, and he has been after Light power since Kaitlin was around. This unlocks Chad's true potential, and he uses it to kill Sheiver for good.

With the God of Life being dead, someone has to take his place. Tom volunteers. He says his goodbyes to the Ninja, and wishes them luck.

He takes the power, and a portal to the Sacred Realm opens. He sees Milo and Hope, and returns to them...

### **Ogaji Origins**

After Tom sacrificed his life, it didn't take long until his students failed their mission of stopping the Oni. The Oni took over and plunged Ogaji into darkness.

The Oni soon realized, however, that Ogaji was falling apart. Ogaji can only exist where is balance, and in a world with no light, this caused Ogaji to start to wither away.

In order to return light to the land, the Oni ripped the souls of heroes from the Departed Realm to use them to pretend that there is still light. One of these souls, was G's.

The High Order of Oni jammed the souls of the awakened heroes into random bodies, and used them like puppets to "act" out heroic events, to trick the Gods into restoring Balance. G would soon regain consciousness, although having forgotten who he was, and would join the other conscious people in saving those who were trapped in the High Order's puppetry.

Tom (who went under the name Ray before his memories returned to him,) joined a team of conscious-people called the Samurai of Men, and together they defended weaker conscious-people from the High Order.

#### ***Forbidden Quest***

In a far section of the Outside, the Samurai of Men protect the people they have saved from The Show. They take base in the Dragon Castle, weathered by 6,000 years of time passing.

The four samurai, Colin, Ray, Holo, and Mystery, have each taken an oath to defend from the High Order.

Lately, however, it has been difficult, since several High Order drones have been searching for them for the past few months. The newest drone that arrives has a strange new power source, a glowing golden plate that rests on its head. The Samurai of Men disarm the drone, and examine the High Order plate. After finding out that when handled directly it can corrupt the user, they give it to Mystery to disassemble and destroy.

Mystery takes it to his workshop, where he is then taken control of from the High Order. He *re*assmbles it, and transfers his consciousness into it. It initiates battle with the Samurai of Men, and ends up using the power of the plate to open a portal through space-time. Holo falls, and in the same manner, G falls to the ground in the past.

> *The following is from the flashback portion of Forbidden Quest that tells the untold story of Team Phantom's discovery of Forbidden Spinjitzu and the High Order.*

After having a battle with Phanto, Team Phantom gets an alert that two wolves are terrorizing Ogaji City. After being unable to defeat the wolves, a girl named Akira arrives and defeats them quickly. She proposes that she join their team, considering her strengths and the great wolf threat that has been occurring lately. G is quick to dismiss her, but the others give her a chance.

The two have a battle at their temple base, and if Akira wins she can join them. G uses his power to reveal Akira's true identity-- She is a Kitsune from the Frozen North. Her tribe of people is in charge of protecting their guardian spirits, Okami, or Golden Wolves. The Okami suddenly escaped on her watch, so it has been her quest for some time to return them to their rightful place. Uncaring, G says that she is untrustworthy. The others are not so quick to judge, and allow her onto the team.

The next morning, Akira is nowhere to be found, and G assumes the worst. but she was merely helping Llide with something. They are suddenly attacked by the High Order drone, which calls them "defectors." They quickly defeat it, but it flies off, and G apologizes to Akira for not trusting her.

The team then find parts from the drone back to their super computer, and attempt to access its data. They find code which gives instructions to locate so-called "Samurai of Men," Colin, Ray, and Holo… These are the defectors. They find that they take base in the Dragon Castle, so they make preparations to journey there and seek help, seeing as they are connected to the drone, unknowing that Colin, Ray, and Holo would not be there for thousands of years.

Team Phantom arrives at the castle and find it empty. As they search the grounds, the High Order drone attacks them with the powers of the plate. G and Akira realize that it's the source of it's power, and remove it from it's head, disabling it. They take it back to their base where they access it's direct video memory feed.

They find out that the High Order is a race of superior beings who have plunged Ogaji into darkness about 6,000 years into the future. They realized that the world can not sustain itself without balance, and so they attempted to return the world to normal by setting up pretend heroes to fight villains that protect the "balance." These hero's souls are being gathered from the Departed Realm, and are controlled by the High Order. After seasons and seasons of "The Show," some of the characters regain consciousness and are unable to be controlled when they are no longer at The Stage.

Eventually, the High Order King sends Task (the drone) after several of the defectors, being Colin, Ray, and Holo. The three of them with IPs in the system the same as Llide, Tom, and G... After several failed attempts, they power up Task with a power forsaken by the past, but as rulers of the realm they make the rules. They power it up with the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu, which they encompass in a plate that rests on Task's head... he is ready.

With the memory being concluded, Team Phantom realizes what this means... and so does Akira. She realizes that must mean there is a Scroll in the past, considering the one they have is from the future. She steals the Scroll from Task, becoming super charged, and then finds the one of the present.

G is disheartened that he could not trust her, and Akira reveals her true motives were to take revenge on the people of Ogaji for *killing* the Okami.

After using the power of both Scrolls, she transforms everyone in Ogaji into a wolf slave of hers. G is powerless to stop her, until he gets one of the Scrolls for himself. Using the power of Forbidden Spinjitzu, he knocks Akira away after she threatened his friends, she drops the second Scroll... Angry at her betrayal, he takes in hand the second Scroll and goes berserk, killing Akira and returning Ogaji to normal. Now, however, G has gone mad with power. The pure flow of energy of the Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu, as well as G's instability clash, and he becomes irrational. He plans to go to the Temple of Time to steal the Time Temporal and journey into the future where he will destroy the High Order to stop the purge of Ogaji and slavery of their souls.

Llide and Tom beg him not to, as the power of Creation, both Scrolls, and the Time Temporal could cause a disaster. Their pleas are no use, and G handles the Time Temporal, causing a temporal paradox... G is split in two, the true G, and the unstable power hungry Mal-G. The true G sees reason, and attempts to stop Mal-G, but he does not listen. He assumes the form of a beast, dropping the two scrolls and entering the Ethereal Divide.

The others follow him, and find out that Mal-G's enormous power mixed with the fact that he and true G are not whole is causing the Multiverse to fall apart. The heroes find themselves in several different worlds, where G and Mal face off. The two battle, as G considers his own morality. Knowing that the lives of everyone in the Multiverse being sacrificed cannot benefit saving one world is wrong, he fuses with Mal-G, absorbing his bad side again...

Now that the Multiverse is saved, G asks to promise never to talk about the High Order for another 6,000 years...

> *6,000 years later...*

The Samurai of Men reawaken and regain the memories of the past. After remembering the events during the *Crisis on Infinite Earths*, they gaze upon what has happened to Ogaji, now plunged into eternal shadow. They realize now that they are together, that they are here now to do what Mal-G promised to do 6,000 years ago… to end the reign of the High Order.

#### Update 1.14.4

> *The following is from the flashback portion of Update 1.14.4 that tells the untold story of The Children of Creation's battle within the newest update of The Game. Tom would remember this story following the previous one.*
>
>

Zack, Lavender, and Tom are in Ogaji City because the hardware they've acquired to reboot G is outdated. The group is being tagged by G and his servants, who have infiltrated the city from the inside.

Zack and Lavender agreed to meet with a professor at the University in secret to get their component updated and repaired in exchange that the three of them test out his newest technology.

After evading the guards set up by G, the group meets Charles Borg, son of Zorcob Frost's former partner. Charles is given the component to update, and his assistant gives the heroes a tour of their facility. The three of them discover dozens of incredible never before seen inventions, as well as the newest project being worked on by Charles.

He joins them to tell them his biggest project yet: The Game 2.0, an update to Zorcob's famous virtual reality training ground. A complete virtual refurbishment meant to lead the next generation of heroes to defeat G. The Game is incomplete, as of now, but Charles wanted the three of them to be his beta testers. He explains that The Game now has a "story mode:" In the Empire of Madness, the terrible Emperor Unagami has taken total dominion. The main protagonist, Neo Viper, must make his way through the terrible traps and terrains of Unagami's world to defeat him. The heroes would be virtually encrypted into the game, fighting alongside Neo Viper. They will each have 3 lives, and if they lose all 3, they die in real life.

The group agrees to participate, especially Zack, who is enthusiastic about playing.

The three are transported in and meet Neo Viper. The four of them go through the first level as they're supposed to, but as they keep going, things start to seem strange. Viper starts talking about things he shouldn't know about, the outside world, Elemental Masters, and a virus.

He reveals to the heroes that "The Game" is no longer just a game. Unbeknownst to Charles Borg and the other scientists, the characters in this virtual reality world have begun to think for themselves. The story has become real, as Viper explains that a virus has caused Emperor Unagami to do terrible things, worse than Charles programmed him to do. His goal is to inject the virus all over the Empire of Madness, gaining complete control, eventually to enter the outside world.

The only way for the heroes to stop him is to confront him at his castle, and the only way to get there is to find the two Key-Blades to open the gates of the temple.

The four of them embark on their journey to find the Key-Blades, defeating boss enemies in a high speed race, and a fighting tournament. Along their way the find the Mad Market, where Neo Viper and the heroes become very close. They find out that Neo has always wanted to see the outside world, and the others agree to take him there once all this is over. Unfortunately, each of them only had one life left, except for Tom who had two. Finally, they arrive at the Empire Temple.

Inside they find the Emperor and confront him. Unagami is a powerful villain, the Elemental Master of Code. He attempts to finish them off with his mechanical Empire Dragon, who kills Tom, but Neo finishes both off. Victory is theirs, or so they thought, as the dragon reawakens and murders Neo.

In his dying words, Viper tells Zack and Lavender to return to Ogaji by stabbing themselves with the Key-Blades, as it is the only way to return to the real world. They do it, but instead of being transported away, they are suddenly trapped in a cage. Viper stands up and the dragon freezes in it's place. Zack and Lavender are confused as Viper is then killed by Unagami, and he is killed by Viper, and them again by each other.

Unagami and Viper transform back and forth between each other until they are one. Unagami reveals that he and Viper are one and the same. He played them-- tricked them into trusting him. His sole purpose was to trick them so that he may steal their Elemental Power.

Suddenly, Charles interjects saying he's finally discovered the virus, and he apologizes for taking so long. He uses his control over The Game to destroy Unagami for good, and frees Zack and Lavender.

They're thankful for his help, but Tom is still dead. Suddenly, Charles starts shifting between Neo and Unagami and himself. He laughs and claims he has fooled them again, as he has been behind this all along. Inspired by his greatest hero, Zorcob Frost, he refurbished one of his greatest creations, and hopes to add 3 more to his collection. He uses a virus he installed in the Key-Blades to factory reset the two siblings. With them, he will take G for himself to complete the set. His reasoning for trapping them in this game and making them play through it was all for his enjoyment.

His monologue is stopped by Tom, who actually had one life left. He and Charles swordfight, but Charles has total dominion over the realm they are in, so he creates copies of all of the boss enemies, as well as Unagami, Neo Viper, Zack, and Lavender to fight him. Tom is overwhelmed, but realizes that by killing himself is the only way to end it.

He uses the Empire Dragon to his advantage, and it blasts through all of them, defeating himself, Zack, Lavender, and Charles.

He does this, and when they return to Ogaji, Charles is now powerless. The three heroes show him who's boss and they take back the component that he updated for them. Finally ready to take on G...

6,000 years in the future, Zack and Lavender reawaken somewhere in the dark depths of The Outside. Tom is missing, so they go out into the dark abyss in search of their lost friend...

### Sleeping Slaves

Tom, Llide, and G all regain their memories. With their memories returned to them, they too realize that the realm they’re in is in fact Ogaji, and that blast sent Task into the past, where they dealt with it 6,000 years ago.

Suddenly, from above them, they see three others have regained their memories as well-- Gordon Gold, Sammy Strumar, and Kaitin Rogers. All of them have control over their Elemental Power-- except Sammy, because the Element of Earth was destroyed within the Gauntlet of Creation. Realizing that Kaitlin is an Elemental Master of Amber, G realizes that means something must have happened to Chad and his other students.

The six of them realize that the sheer fact that they are alive after 6,000 years means something. If they are alive, so could their students. The heroes suit up, and decide to get to the bottom of the High Order, and find their students.

They have the idea to go to the Temple of Time to potentially meet other people in The Outside, and go there where they meet Zack and Serces. Serces meets G, and G is absolutely pissed to see him again, and have a fight. They end up putting aside their differences, if only for now, until they save Ogaji. Zack fills everyone in on the situation, how Nightmarre has total dominion over the entire Multiverse, Realm, and Dimension. He is all powerful.

The group enters the Temple, where they find the Ivory Blade of Deliverance, one of two. What's it do? They don't know. Suddenly, they are all attacked by Red Riot, who is Lavender taken over by the Oni. They defeat and unmask her, and leave her in the temple dungeons, as she has been mutated beyond help... Now with this out of the way, their next stop is the Desert Palace, to find any hope of G's students being alive.

They find the Desert Palace deserted... but there is someone waiting for them there. They are attacked by All For One, the Oni with the powers of the Gauntlets of Creation and Destruction. G and Serces must put aside their differences for good to stop the evil that the two of them created. At All For One's defeat, the two of them reconcile, and Serces becomes a true hero (now going by Lukas.) Now they have one goal: to find the High Order.

Eventually, G's group and Team Waters finally meet up, and through a couple of set backs, finally reach Nightmarre's chamber. With the Shadow and Ivory Blades of Deliverance, they're ready to destroy Nightmarre, but they are still outmatched. Both blades are shattered, but before Nightmarre can kill the heroes, a portal is opened up, and Warren pushes Nightmarre through...! The rift created by Mal-G in the past lead here... it was destiny.

The rest of the heroes go through the portal and return to the year 2044, at the hour of Doomsday. They fill in the past heroes about what is about to go down, while the future heroes merge with their past selves so as not to cause a paradox.

The Golden Goddesses intervene and reveal that all this time, the Greatest Evil the Realm would ever see was not G, but Nightmarre all along. Everything they've ever done, Genesis' corruption, Bamos' resurrection, the creation of the Edge of the World, and onward has lead to this. When the prophecy was created, this is what it all lead to.

Together, the heroes join forces one last time to destroy Nightmarre, now powered up with Forbidden Spinjitzu. G fuses together with Hope to create the ultimate deity, Destiny, and they finally defeat Nightmarre. His mask shatters, and is revealed to actually be Warren...

The Goddesses intervene again and reveal that the Dark Timeline from which they came is now destroyed. Doomsday is over, and their job is done. With that, Warren and Nightmarre fade from existence, unable to exist in the same timeline...

That's it.

Tom moves on with his life. Without any army to fight, he and G become teachers again at the Ogaji School for Future Heroes. The end of the chapter also implies that Tom and G are together.

All is well. The legend of Ogaji has been concluded.

## Personality and traits

As a ghost, Tom was a competent warrior alongside the rest of Team Phantom. He did not have much of a sense of humor, but he played along with most of G's jokes. He supported G from the beginning of their friendship, and continues to as the years go on.

Because his father left at a young age, he lacks the presence of a father figure. Because of this, he wanted to hold on to all that he knew about his father, that he was a cop. He strives to always find an answer to the immediate problem- so when he found out there was more to his heritage than his mother let on, he felt the urge to follow the trail and find answers.

He can also be very stubborn. As much as he agrees with G mostly, they do have their arguments, and when they happen, Tom is determined to be right.

## Age

Tom was born around 19 years before the Extinction of the Elemental Masters. He was 18 when the war started, and 19 when he fell.

As a ghost, he did not age, but his time in the Ghost World came to be about 35 years.

By the time he became human again, he would have been around 44, chronologically.

As of *Mirror Me*, he is technically around 55 years old, but his human body is 27 years old.

## Appearance and Ninja Gi

As a human, Tom is a tough, and bushy eyebrowed man with long dark brown hair with a silver streak going through his right side.

As a ghost, he retained these similar qualities, but as a translucent green ghost.

During *Children of Creation*, he went through two design changes. First was when he was transformed into a hideous monster by Zachary accidentally, he bared resemblance to a humanoid crocodile.

After being "cured" by Hylia, he became a literal skeleton of his human self.

The cursed form was dissolved when he discovered his identity as an Oni Demon, and his appearance changed to fit his heritage. He was now a scrawny Demon with glowing green eyes and bushy brown hair, but with a light green streak in his hair rather than silver.

His Ninja Gi tend to be Cole's torso and 7 seasons back for the legs, with a black half-mask and black ZX armor.

## Weapons and Abilities

**As a ghost**, Tom possessed most of the powers a ghost has, including phasing through solid objects, summoning Ghost blades, and invisibility.

Tom was originally gifted by Hylia the power of **earth**, as a placeholder until he learned his true identity. His power of earth gave him great physical strength and durability. He can stand his ground to a supernatural degree—enemies frequently act as though they have hit a person-shaped brick wall when they bump into him. At full power, he can manipulate the earth below his feet, causing earthquakes, creating fissures, throwing rocks and dust at enemies, or even burying things in rapidly-rising mounds of dirt. Like his fellow Ninja, he can also perform Spinjitzu and Airjitzu.

During his time as the Earth Ninja, Tom discovered a new power— **Empowerment**— at random times he would shoot green energy out of his hands, and anything it hit would become 2x stronger than before... He found out later that this was an extension of his true element.

Tom's true power, **Destruction**, which he inherited from his father. This allows him to shoot blasts of light green energy from his fists, and anything it touches deteriorates. He is able to control how powerful each blast is.

**Weapons** he has used in the past include regular katanas, a knights sword, and most prominently, his Oni Blade that harnesses his power as a half-Oni.

## Notes

* Tom has gone through the most physical changes out of any character.
	+ He was first human, then an evil ghost, then split in two, then human again, then a hideous monster, then a skeleton, and finally as a half Oni.
* Tom's original name was Lee. It was changed when the name "Tom Phan" sounded cooler.
	+ He actually has gone through the most name changes of any other character in the series. His name progression was:
		- Morro, Morrow, Phanto, Phantom, Lee, and Tom.
* His name is actually a pun on "phantom," with the 'phan' and 'tom' being swapped.
* Tom is technically Morro from Ninjago's doppelgänger.
* Tom was used as a host body in *Closing the Circles* for Bamos when he was resurrected. This is unwritten, but the reason why he so easily turned to the Oni Demon's side in *Of Rotten Heritage* was because he still had some evil left over inside him
